Note: As sort of a Pico Day after party, I have decided to post individual artwork of the Pico's School cast I used in my Pico Day 2021 submission (I will be uploading one character a day for a week). As a bonus, I've decided to include bios for all of them to give a idea of what inspired the designs and poses. Just be aware this will include some headcanon stuff so don't take it too seriously. Pico canon and characterization has never really been concrete so these are my own interpretations. Feel free to give your thoughts on my reinterpretations and your own ideas for the characters below, I'd love to see it.

||Previous Character (Nene)||Next Character (Cassandra)||
For our third day of my Pico Day after party, we'll round off the Pico Trio with Darnell.
- Excluding the arsonist tendencies, I wanted to characterize Darnell as the most-well rounded of his friend group. He's the smartest, tallest, and carefree. But he's also the most destructive and reckless.
- Turns out he had more than 5 years to live. Still has a lot of troubles with migraines though.
- As previously mentioned, Darnell is incredibly intelligent. He was the smartest at his school and is the only one in the trio attending college.
- His intelligence allows him construct his own explosive devices, but he prefers to use premade explosives since they're more convenient.
- Wants to be a pyrotechnician one day. He studies their use in the movies him and his friends watch together.
- Allows has a lighter on him but hates cigarettes (him and Pico still smoke weed every now and again though). He'll sometimes have crumpled pieces of paper in his hoodie pocket just to burn them when he's bored.
- Him and Nene hang out basically everyday that they can. He'll visit her at her parent's store during her shift sometimes. He may have feelings for her, but he'll never admit it.
- Despite everything, he tries to be nice to an extent to Cassandra and her gang if he can.
- Huge fan of Boyfriend's music.
- Pyrotechnics like this bring a tear to my eye.
