Dia duit! I’m here again!

Name: Timothy Nicholas spoiler-ridden-last-name
Birth date: January 17, 1849
Age(s) in The Game: 15 and 16
If he was a Starbucks drink he would be a: Caffe Americano with milk

Creation

We mentioned some time ago that we had a “Laurie character” except we don’t have A Laurie character. From the start we wanted to make this our own, although the whole thing about making it as-original-as-possible-because-we-could-be-sued didn’t come in immediately, and so I suggested we have three “Laurie characters”, and Timothy was one of them.

He is not really a Laurie character anymore, and I’ll get into why in the next segment of his analysis.

Personality

He may have been made to be a Laurie character, but that was purely his purpose in the story and was never going to impact his personality, and his personality is VERY different from that of Laurie.

In the beginning he wasn’t supposed to be so… well, Timothy-ish, he was supposed to be more of just a shy or reserved kid who the girls end up hanging out with a bit, along with the other Laurie characters, but that changed and he is now one of the two “villains” of the story, though in a completely realistic way, I mean, it’s not like he is trying to be a villain, he just isn’t seen in a good light by the Winters.

Basically, he is a reserved boy who enjoys reading and being with his dog; he is irritable and not very social, so while he can be nice, he prefers to be alone (alone includes his dog, Ginger) and so you don’t often see his kinder side.

Struggles/faults

He struggles with constant human interaction; he would be quite happy as a hermit (Who does that remind you of? Hmm…), as long as he had Ginger at any rate.

His greatest fault is his irritability, frankly put, his temper, and his unsocial nature creates other difficulties with his interactions, which may be seen as faults.

Mindset

He may be reserved, but he is not ignorant of the social opinions of the day, and although I am not sure that he exactly feels that females are inferior to males in intelligence, it is clear that he is of the opinion that girls should not exert themselves actively, they should not have paid work, they should not write unless it is a letter or diary (the greatest clashing point with the Winters sisters which is the cause for him being considered a “villain”), and that their purpose is to marry, have children, and take care of the house, their husband, and their children.

He does not plan a future for himself, other than a career I’m guessing, but he is very mysterious about his interests other than reading and dogs, and we ourselves do not know him very well other than what is shown because we have no reference to his hidden self as he had no proper springboard person whom we could draw inspiration from.

I do think, however, that while he is unsocial almost always, he is someone who, when properly attached, is quite loyal, so if he were to find “the one” he would be willing to lean enough out of his solitude to give her desirable affection, and I think that he would be slightly more lenient about his opinion of female ability and respectable behavior, although entirely singular in who it would be directed to, his wife, and no other woman.

Well, I have nothing more to say, so adieu until next time I write! We’ll be doing Anthony/Tony next.
