role ›› Thomas, 12

Thomas is quiet and contemplative. At times childish and misbehaving, he is still a kid that mothers consider an example for their own children. He conflicts with his younger brother, Jake, but only in terms of typical sibling dynamics. Gwen, one of the girls in the group, is his first big crush. He does not possess the courage of a leader nor the fear of a follower, until life and friends force Thomas to become a leader. Even then, he questions his place among others.
