Enrique is Marjane’s first boyfriend. He’s 20 and is half Austrian, half Spanish. In Marjane’s opinion, however, the best part of Enrique is that he’s an anarchist and knows lots of other anarchists. Their relationship is mostly chaste, but Marjane eventually decides she’d like to have sex with him. The pair never go through with it, though, as Enrique realizes that he’s gay.
