Characters in my “Lives of AU” Part 2
Kipper Krupp: Ex-bully who still is rough around the edges and tries to make up for his wrongs. Also he forms a band with his friends and likes to..... experiment with new substances until he finds himself having to deal with his uncle’s strict side, which, for him, is the first time.
(I don’t have detailed descriptions for his friends, but know there’s a secret cinnamon roll in the group ;) )
Jasper Krupp: Krupp’s hyperactive older brother who is golden in everyone’s eyes, especially his mother’s. It’s good for him but not when it leaves his little brother as the scape goat.
Mr. Fyde: Retired teacher who copes with his insanity, triggered by things he’s seen in the school, by writing some poems that catch the attention of his wife whom he finds a way to send them to, and later the authorities.
Ms. Ribble: A stale mean girl who wants to drag everyone down to her level, just to step over them and rise to the top.
Ms. Anthrope: The school secretary who’s boredom eats her alive until she meets up with an old partner and her past shocks everyone.
Ms. Young (original character): The preppy new counselor hired to replace the old one after he crossed the line and manages to make all the teachers jealous with her youth, naturally, given she’s only 24 and fresh outta college. The kids love her but some of her knowledge on certain subjects starts to concern Mr. Krupp, but they’ll discuss it later. Oh, and she’s Edith’s new best friend!
Lisa: A young legal immigrant who can’t seem to break the language barrier. Fortunately, Harold and George understand her well enough thanks to their favorite show LOS ANIMALES (en espanol) and Senor Citizen is willing to let a child teach him Spanish in return for him teaching her english. Also, she and George seem to get along really, really well. Just sayin ;)
Billy: A shy boy who is forced to learn piano by his overbearing yet well meaning parents, and comes to love it. He’s becomes so good at it, he convinces Krupp to restart the music program. Harold really likes him alot ;)
Gooch: A little boy who struggles with self esteem due to brain damage caused by a “careless” nurse and can’t seem to find his place in the world. But at least everyone loves him, even if the teachers don’t really understand his issues, or the fact he should be in Special Education.
Bo: A shy orphan boy who makes it by hiding in the clay room after school and lashes out at the rumors surrounding him
Melvin Sneedly: A brilliant child who is so socially inept he can’t even believe someone would want to be his friend, but that doesn’t keep him from trying to find an acquaintance in George and Harold. He actually feels he can relate to them on a deeper level, but he doesn’t know why.
Jessica: A mean girl who can’t keep it up forever.
“Sophie 1″ (Later Cindy): Hey, what’s a girl gotta do to fit in? And why does she want to fit in again?
“Sophie 2″: A non-verbal girl who was dragged into Jessica’s clique just to be a door mat, but don’t worry, she’ll find her voice in a much different way than just talking!
Erika: A brilliant girl with sharp wit and sharp eyes on the prize. Do I even need to tell you, yes she’s gonna be president, but first she has to be school president. And it’s certainly is an adventure in itself, read about it in the school newspaper. Also, having a crush on her assistant is unprofessional, girl’s got to step it up!
Stanely Peet: A southern boy who needs better hygene, because adjusting to the north is hard enough, but people just love to make assumptions on what you believe just because of where in America you’re from, and that ain’t right!
Dressy Killman: She hates her last name, because life is all about love, just get on the same vibe man.... her non-traditional family exists for a reason.
Tommy: A young boy who finally conquers his depression, all on his own.
