SETTING BACKGROUND
Supernatural follows brothers Sam and Dean Winchester, who travel across America in a black 1967 Chevy Impala investigating and combating paranormal events and other unexplained occurrences, many of them based on American urban legends and folklore as well as classic supernatural creatures such as vampires, werewolves, and ghosts.

PERSONALITY
Dean Winchester is understanding, funny, mischievous, and a little immature.

Dean has a massive caretaker instinct, especially towards his younger brother Sam, due to being left solely responsible for him since he was a child. Dean has always tried to give Sam every resource possible, sometimes at the cost of his own well-being. He took up the role of both mother and father for Sam while still only being a child himself.

In that role, he put himself between Sam and his father a lot. John Winchester was an abusive, neglectful parent who's controlling personality, alcoholism, and constant absence left Dean with a desire to live up to his father's expectations and the consistent feeling that he had failed to do so.

Dean is an extremely emotionally repressed person. His father has left such an impression of who Dean is supposed to be that Dean doesn't allow himself to act in any other way. This leads to a large part of his perceived personality to be performative rather than genuine. He performs hyper-masculinity and heterosexuality to a degree that it almost turns back into camp.

While he tries to play the part of the Han Solo-esque rebel with a devil-may-care attitude, in reality he is a very caring and empathetic person who just wants genuine emotional connection with another person. His brother and father leaving him has left him feeling lost and abandoned. In many ways he is still the four year old who lost his mother in a fire.

At the current point in his life, Dean is spending most of his time away from his father, and he hasn't seen his brother since Sam left to go to college. This is the first time in Dean's entire life that he has opportunity to explore his own identity without John Winchester looking over his shoulder. He's already begun developing interests and cultivating the parts of his personality that his dad wouldn't consider to be traditionally masculine or appropriate, even if he doesn't think of it in those terms to himself.

Dean puts his family above anything and everything else. He is willing to sacrifice himself to protect them at any costs. He doesn't consider himself to be smart, but is an excellent mechanic and has a good mind for machinery.
