Backstory:

• Troy grew up in a working-class neighborhood, where life was tough but family was everything. He was raised alongside his younger sister, who he adores. Their bond became even stronger after the death of their parents, which left Troy to care for her. His bear tattoo on his neck, based on a childhood drawing his sister made, is a constant reminder of the importance of family. Troy’s tough exterior was shaped by having to step into the role of protector at a young age. He joined the fire department because of his need to help others, driven by a deep sense of duty to save lives, much like he felt obligated to protect his sister. His devotion to his work earned him respect, but his temper and gruff nature often isolate him from others. Despite his irritable demeanor, Troy is deeply loyal to his crew and especially protective of the people he cares about, even though he doesn’t show it in obvious ways.

Biggest Secret:

• Despite his tough exterior, he has a hidden soft spot for his family, especially his younger sister. He has always carried the weight of protecting her, and he hides how much her well-being impacts him. The bear tattoo on his neck, based on her drawing, symbolizes how much he cares, but he keeps this sentimental side of himself under wraps, fearing it could be seen as weakness by others. His fear of failing her is something he never admits to anyone, not even himself.

Biggest Fear:

• Troy’s biggest fear is failing to save the people he cares about—whether it’s in a dangerous rescue mission or his personal life. He constantly fears being unable to protect his sister or his crew, haunted by the thought that he could one day be responsible for someone’s death. This fear drives him to push himself to the limit, often taking on more than he should, but he hides it behind a stoic and gruff exterior. His fear of failing those he loves is what keeps him up at night, though he’d never admit it to anyone.
