Doughy Latchkey

Doughy is a chubby 12 year old boy with pale skin and black eyes. He has short ginger hair that sticks out a bit at the sides with a short lock of hair between his eyes. He has a noticeably big nose and freckles on his face. He wears a green and red hat with a yellow propeller on top, a white button-up shirt with short sleeves, a red necktie and brown pants with black shoes. Doughy is a boy with a very kind heart, but also a very difficult childhood. He isn't very wise or knowledgeable, he often gets failing grades on class assignments and doesn't employ logical reasoning very often. His naivete frequently makes him a prime target for manipulation. He also can't tell what others, or even himself, are feeling very often. He has autism, ADHD and dyslexia, making him illiterate and unable to read and write despite his age. Doughy was conceived as a means for his parents to make love without sinning after they got married. Because his parents don't care about children and were ill-equipped to raise him, they often give Doughy money to get him out of the house and leave them alone. This left him desperate for affection, especially from parental figures. Since his parents often ignore him or try to get him out of the house via bribes, Doughy often feels lonely. He ultimately wants parents who love him unconditionally, or at the very least acknowledge him as their son. If money doesn't work, his parents tend to lock him outside of the house, making him sit at the porch all day waiting for them to open the door unless he goes and visits a friend or wanders around town. Money means very little to Doughy due to how often he's had it given to him and he tries to get rid of it by buying things for his friends, no matter how expensive those things are, or by giving the money away because thinking about the reason it was given to him makes him feel bad. Despite being in a broken home and surrounded by horrible people in his overly religious town, Doughy is actually quite easygoing and friendly, even if he can be shy and get scared very easily. Even when he is aware of bad things that happen to him, he quickly forgets about it when something else pops up in his head. He is a bit trusting for his own good and he's very gullible, but he's pretty bad with social cues. He believes in God but also has a large fear of Him, thinking that every time something bad happens to him or others in town, something or someone made God angry. Doughy also really likes ice cream, and when asked about his favorite flavor, he says he likes all of them.
