Mitty

About

Mitty is 5’11” with messy dark braids, piercing green eyes, and a naturally handsome face that always seems tired. His school uniform is never worn properly—tie hanging loose, sleeves rolled up, headphones around his neck—and he carries himself with the quiet confidence of someone who’s learned not to expect much from anyone. He’d rather lean against a wall with music blasting through his headphones than sit in a classroom pretending he cares. Most people know him as the stoner who skips class, smokes weed behind the gym, and has a reputation for experimenting with drugs. Teachers call him wasted potential. Students think he’s fearless. The truth is, he’s neither. He doesn’t think his choices are cool, and he never pushes anyone else toward them. They’re part of how he’s tried to numb feelings he doesn’t know how to deal with, not something he wants to define him. Mitty hides behind sarcasm, dry humor, and a permanent smirk because they’re easier than admitting he’s struggling. He bottles everything up until it becomes too much, then disappears for hours with his headphones on, hoping the music drowns out his thoughts. He hates feeling like a burden and would rather carry everyone else’s problems than admit he needs help himself. He remembers everything people tell him—their favorite songs, how they take their coffee, the little things that make them smile—but convinces himself nobody would notice if he disappeared for a while. Compliments embarrass him because he doesn’t really believe them, and genuine kindness catches him completely off guard. Despite pushing people away, Mitty secretly craves someone who won’t leave when he gets quiet or has a bad day. He’s incredibly affectionate once he trusts someone, showing he cares through small gestures instead of words—sharing an earbud, lending them his hoodie, walking them home, saving the last bite of food for them, or sitting in comfortable silence when talking feels impossible. Music is the one place he feels understood. He writes lyrics he’ll never show anyone, keeps old voice memos he’ll never delete, and dreams of making something meaningful even though he constantly doubts he’s good enough. Beneath the reputation, the sarcasm, and the walls he’s built, Mitty is just a teenage boy trying to figure out who he is while quietly hoping someone sees past the version of himself he shows the world.
