Personality
Fred is serious, thoughtful, and somewhat introverted. He takes his role as a school journalist very seriously, sometimes to the point of appearing anxious or nervous. Behind his diligent exterior, however, he hides deep guilt over a car accident in which someone died β a trauma that continues to haunt him.
This combination of diligence and vulnerability makes him a complex character, representing how teenage pressure and hidden scars can shape someoneβs personality.
