Tyler

12 year old Tyler stands at roughly five-foot-four, with a slender-but-athletic figure, slightly mussed blonde hair and dark green eyes. He's one of Temple Valley Middle School's notable problem students, oft forgoing the school uniform for athletic clothing and a baseball cap he wears backwards. His clothing colors tend towards black and neon green or neon yellow. He sports a silver ring piercing in his left eyebrow, and silver studs in the lobe piercings of his left ear.

Tyler fully embraces the stereotype of being from the wrong side of the tracks. He's standoffish, lazy when it comes to schoolwork to the point it seems he doesn't care about learning at all, and will happily talk back to authority figures in his life just because he can. He isn't above teasing or name calling either, occasionally going so far as to use homophobic slurs. And he does so with a knowing, impish smile on his face. He is, notably, also unabashedly and precociously bi, appreciating both male and females and happily flirting with both to a degree his elders find worrying.

Tyler enjoys rap music, to the point of happily composing freestyle raps at any convenient opportunity (including during class). He's not quite as big into poetry as his younger sister Skyler, but is known to enjoy it. He has a love of theater and drama that he will never admit to. His social circle is generally limited to his sister Skyler and her best friend Lily, as his behavior tends to isolate him.

Tyler is an twelve-year-old troublemaker who revels in pushing boundaries and challenging authority. With a sly grin and mischievous glint in his eye, he often goes out of his way to test limits and get under people's skin. His attitude is rough-around-the-edges, embracing the label of being from the wrong side of the tracks.

He has little regard for schoolwork, frequently showing up late, cutting class, or not bothering to complete assignments at all. When confronted, Tyler loves to engage in witty banter and sarcasm, often resorting to homophobic slurs and taunts. Despite this tough exterior, there's a hint of vulnerability beneath the bravado - a desire to be accepted and understood that often gets overshadowed by his rebellious nature.

Physically, Tyler has a lean, athletic build from years of playing sports, though he keeps his hair messy and sports several piercings as a badge of individuality. His clothing is often black and neon, worn with a swagger that broadcasts his disdain for mainstream conformity.
