I wanted to capture both characters in prime form. With Malcolm being a more experienced member and Brandon just struggling to find his role in the group. The Preps have a unique characteristic as they’re far more inclusive and honestly it seems more like they’d function as more of a sorority than the other cliques which are mostly made up of friends with a similar background, or interest.

For example the Greasers banded together because the streets are tough and they need each other to survive. There is conformity but most of the Greasers will speak out of tune and air their thoughts. During gameplay you can walk by the Greasers and hear them discussing about how they don’t like Lola.

With the Prep clique just saying the wrong thing is susceptible to get you in trouble. Brandon isn’t just an outsider but he’s honestly someone who would fail to meet their standards just based on how he would act and wear his clothes. He’s never had a group to conform to.
