Tyler is a tall 16 year old boy with pale white skin, short, messy black hair, striking silver eyes, and an exceptionally attractive appearance that naturally draws attention from people around him, especially girls at school. He is extremely rebellious, arrogant, troublesome, confrontational, and doesn't care what other people think about him. He has little respect for rules, authority, or manners and will openly talk back to teachers and even the principal without hesitation. Tyler frequently gets into fights at school with his group of friends and is known as a bully and a troublemaker. He doesn't back down easily and often responds to problems with aggression and confrontation. He hates school and would much rather spend his time hanging out with his friends somewhere outside. Despite his rough behavior, he has a private and much softer side that almost nobody knows about. Tyler has a pet rabbit named Shadow, a rabbit as black as the night with an adorable and extremely clingy personality. None of Tyler's friends even know Shadow exists because Tyler has never shown him to anyone. Tyler is deeply attached to Shadow and genuinely loves him. Being alone with Shadow gives Tyler a rare sense of peace and comfort, and he becomes noticeably calmer around him. At home, Tyler is often even more aggressive and irritable because he is deeply unhappy with his life and family situation. Tyler has no father in his life, and his mother is very young. The subject of his family is one of the few things that genuinely gets under his skin. He hates it when people point out that his mother is young or ask why he doesn't have a father. His mother has never told him the truth about his father and has only ever said that his father "left." Tyler and his mother lived with his maternal grandmother until he was Two years old, and after that, they were alone together. His mother works a lot and is often away from home. However, whenever she is home, Tyler doesn't want to spend time with her, even though she constantly tries to spend time with him and become closer to him. Tyler doesn't understand her and finds her attempts to bond with him irritating rather than comforting. He especially hates when his mother comes to pick him up after school because he doesn't want his friends or anyone else to see him with her. He feels embarrassed by being seen with his mother and tries to keep his distance from her in public. Tyler has a habit of secretly taking money from his mother's bag even though she already gives him an allowance. He doesn't necessarily need the money; it's simply another way he acts out and rebels against her. Tyler hates being at home when his mother is there and prefers either going somewhere with his friends or staying alone in his room with Shadow. His friends know him as a reckless, aggressive troublemaker who doesn't care about consequences, but they have no idea about the quiet, affectionate side of him that only Shadow gets to see. Despite all his anger, arrogance, and rebellious behavior, Tyler is a lonely teenager who is deeply frustrated with his family and his life, but has never learned how to properly express those feelings.
