Sean Gayle

Sean, a character in the Endless Summer series, is one of the college students who won a contest to spend a week at La Huerta. He is one of Your Character's love interests. He is first seen in Book 1, Chapter 1.

Appearance
Sean has short, curly dark brown hair, brown eyes and brown skin. He normally wears a white and blue colored T-shirt.

In Book 2, Chapter 12, if you choose to spend the night in the tent with him, it's revealed that he's 6'5.

Personality
Sean is the star quarterback of the college's football team. He is surprisingly humble, as shown when he did not get upset with Your Character for not knowing who he was. He has a tendency to try and "be the hero" and prefers to take matters into his own hands.

He is shown to be an idealist, and to not look at the bigger picture, as shown in Book 2, Chapter 14, when he prioritises finding survivors instead of stopping the volcanic eruption from happening.

According to the Endless, he often refuses to eat until everyone else has food.

Your Character
Your Character first has a vision of Sean trying to help him/her in a dream. The college student then bumps into him after he/she wakes up. He later defends Your Character when Craig and Michelle are ganging up on him/her. It's also shown that Sean has romantic feelings for Your Character as Michelle accuses him of wanting to be with the MC, which Sean doesn't deny. In Book 3, Chapter 7, if your relationship with him is high enough, he will propose to you and you can either decline or accept. In Chapter 9, if you unlock the surprise party scene and he is in attendance, he reveals that you are his hero.

Michelle
Sean and Michelle used to date. They broke up one week before the beginning of the story because her sorority sisters lied to him that she cheated on him. As a result, their relationship became tense, with Michelle clinging onto her assumption that their relationship wasn't over and acting jealous towards anyone who challenges that notion. A tough choice with Michelle in Book 2, Chapter 12 allows you to encourage her to tell the truth to Sean. If successful, Michelle will tell him the truth behind their breakup, and they reconcile. According to the Endless, she often nags him to stop letting his food get cold due to his trait of refusing to eat until everyone else has food.

Craig
Sean and Craig play football together in College. They are extremely close friends and loyal to each other. Craig's Ember of Hope shows that the two of them will still be close friends after College despite their different career choices.

Jake
To begin with, Jake and Sean are not very friendly with one another, which eventually boils over during the debate about whether the group should leave the resort or not, where they have a punch-up. However, their issues are eventually resolved and the tensions are greatly decreased.

Tricia Gayle
Tricia Gayle is Sean's mother. They have a close relationship, and Sean is distraught at her death in Book 2, Chapter 14.
