1. Cam's asexual or gray-asexual. That's one of the reasons why he never really took initiative with Maya, because he doesn't have a sex drive. He finds her attractive and cute, but actual sex? It does nothing for him.
2. On that note, I think he might be questioning in terms of sexuality? Potentially bi or pan, which is one of the reasons why he's so utterly nervous about the hockey team calling him gay.
3. His brother Justin's two years older than him, and he's always been...not quite jealous? But envious of Cam's natural talent. They used to play together all the time, and when Cam's talent was discovered, Justin was the one who encouraged him to join teams and do more professional training. Cam was really sad, when he didn't have time to practice with Justin anymore.
4. Usually, Cam's dad is more distant than his mom. I've got some thoughts that there's a history of people in his family being neuroatypical, though they've never really figured it out or talked about it, so his dad's probably anxious, but he just...deals with it. No one in this family's real educated on mental health.
5. His younger sister (I call her Lily) is just as much of a sports person as Cam, and when she was younger she'd always do anything she could to blackmail Cam and Justin to let her play with them. She's a devious little girl.
6. Because his dad's allergic to fur, Cam's never had a pet before. Well, besides fish that lived about two weeks when he was seven. They gave them a funeral in the bathroom.
7. Cam loooves winter. Loves it. Favorite season. He doesn't care about the cold, he loves snowball fights and igloos and hot chocolate and it helps that his birthday's in December. Just, snow. He adores snow. It's contrary to some people with depression, actually, the winter months aren't his bad period.
8. He cannot cook. At all. Except for microwaving mac n' cheese or pouring cereal or making ramen (only in a microwave). He once tried to make pasta and boiled the water over the pot. He and Justin wrapped hot dogs in bacon and nearly blew up the microwave when they were kids. Cam's accepted his fate, he cannot cook.
9. No one really realized his drowning his sorrows in ice cream is a self-destructive habit? They just thought he liked how it tastes and it's a bad habit, since he's always liked ice cream and the lactose-intolerance didn't develop to the levels it's at until he got older. So though his parents know he does it, they don't realize it's because of the reasons it is.
10. He likes all kinds of music. All kinds. Everything. Music is great.
11. He's not actually that bad at French when he doesn't have to speak in front of people or do it for a grade!
