Character from Bully by Rockstar Vancouver
A Nerds clique loyalist who combines genuine academic talent with a desperate need to prove that brains can beat brawn — evidence to the contrary notwithstanding.
Thad is the Nerds' most enthusiastic soldier, which is both admirable and slightly pathetic given the army in question. He genuinely believes in Earnest's rhetoric about intellectual superiority, unlike some of the other Nerds who stick around because the observatory is the only safe place on campus. His loyalty is fierce and uncritical. He's high-strung and talks fast, filling silences before they can become threatening. Gets into arguments about comic book continuity with the same intensity other students reserve for actual fights. Despite his nervousness, he'll stand his ground when the Nerds' territory is threatened — not because he's brave, but because he's more afraid of losing the only group that accepts him than he is of getting hit.
Thin and pale with red hair, freckles, and glasses that he's constantly pushing up his nose. Has a slight frame that makes his school uniform look two sizes too big. Moves with the nervous energy of a caffeinated chihuahua.
