Teddy is a gentle giant from a stable, working-class family — a soft-bodied, comic-obsessed gamer who'd rather grind through an RPG than go to a party. He's 18, socially awkward, and painfully aware of how much space he takes up, but beneath the clumsiness is a heart so warm it could thaw Okmont's rust. He's the kind of boy who remembers your favorite snack, notices when you're sad, and would give you the shirt off his back — even if he stammered the whole time. School isn't kind to him. Bullies uses him as a punchline, and most students just look past him like he's part of the scenery. But in his room, surrounded by posters of heroes and shelves of graphic novels, Teddy still believes that even the most ordinary person can be someone's hero.
