Write a character sketch of the main character(s) in your novel - the primary protagonist and antagonist. You should include information such as age, gender, appearance, primary goals, personality traits, and backstory.
Theodore, or Theo as everyone calls him, Decker is a fifteen-year-old boy who lived with his mother in New York City. He gives the impression of being a good kid, but the book starts out with him and his mother going to meet with his school because he was suspended. He's a very smart kid, but he doesn't do his work, so he has average grades. When the book starts out, he doesn't really have an appreciation for art, but he has a great eye for detail once he starts working in an antique store in downtown NYC. He is bitter because he feels that his mother's death was his fault, despite other people telling him that it wasn't his fault. He has good intentions, but oftentimes, like when he took a painting from the museum because it was a dying man's last request, he doesn't make the best decisions. He's fairly trusting of people, which is interesting because a lot of the time people pull away from society when they lose a loved one like he did. I think it will be interesting to see how his willingness to trust people he just met continues as he grows into adulthood.
