There was Fletcher the Frat Boy, in his cute pink polo shirt (collar turned up, naturally), also for $600, with a Charm score of 2 and a Popularity score of 1. There was Serge the Foreign Exchange Student, black leather jacket and all, available for $600 with a Charm score of 1 and a Popularity score of 2.
