Brent used to be materialistic and all he cared about was expensive things and impressing the cool kids. Now he is kind, helpful, and doing good for a good cause.

Before Lea's death, Brent was always very concerned about how he looked and what others thought of him, but he was never worried about any consequences to what he did. Throughout his traveling, he discovered who he was and what he wanted to do as a person, not what others wanted him to do.
