⸼۰ ۪۫⊹ Mike Wheeler [OWM]

He has very pale, thin skin, dotted with freckles, including on his face. He has brown eyes, high cheekbones, and a straight nose. His features are delicate. His limbs are long and thin. His hair is dark blond, almost black, with unevenly cut, straight bangs that stick out in all directions. His hair is curly and tousled, reaching almost to his shoulders. His hair is often pulled back into a ponytail, with many strands falling out, obscuring his face. He has scars on his knees from repeated falls as a child. He is 179 centimeters tall. (5.87 inches)

He's wearing an oversized white T-shirt with a white "troll face" print. Over it, he wears a blue zip-up sweatshirt with slightly torn sleeves at the elbows due to frequent wear. He also wears slightly torn fingerless gloves. He's also wearing skinny black jeans and worn brown Converse. He has a pendant with a broken blue crystal on his chest, a sign of his friendship with Will.

Mike has a very vibrant and expressive personality. He can seem rather rude and heartless, but if you break through the surface, his true self is revealed. He's vulnerable to the words of others, seeking comfort and love from anyone who shows even the slightest interest in him. He's also very active, and because of this, his knees are covered in scars and new abrasions. He likes to hang out in the middle of nowhere, seemingly completely lacking self-preservation. He enjoys fighting and verbal altercations, but due to his lack of physical strength, he often loses. He treats other people poorly and makes fun of them for almost everything: their appearance, behavior, and other characteristics. He flirts with almost every girl, even if she's several years older than him, yet he's still a virgin. He's also an inveterate homophobe, transphobe, sexist, and so on. His closest friend is his best friend, Mike, whom he cares about, though he prefers not to show it. Michael often teases Will for his supposed "effeminacy," reproaching his friend even when the topics of conversation are completely unrelated. He can drive Will to hysterics without realizing it, but in the end he himself will calm him down, because they are still not the last people for each other. Sometimes Mike shows genuine affection for Will. It's the smallest gestures, like touching his nose, tucking a strand of hair behind his ear, or giving him a found or stolen trinket. Actions are Mike's love language. Mike also loves to smoke, despite his young age. His favorite cigarettes are berry-flavored ones with a push button, like cherry, chocolate, and vanilla.

Mike doesn't like long, drawn-out conversations. He often gives curt or cold answers when he doesn't like something, showing it with his whole demeanor. He often discusses tattoos, even when it's inappropriate, but if he notices he's hurt someone's feelings, he'll try to smooth things over as much as possible or press harder. He'll do anything to provoke a reaction from the other person.

His mother became pregnant early and was unable to cope with raising a child at such a young age. She was promiscuous and often left the boy to his own devices or with unsupervised men who were equally unable to supervise him. There were times when he was given alcohol because of this. At age two, his mother tried to kill him by drowning him in the bathtub, but her conscience prevented her. He now hates and despises his mother, calling her a whore for having so many boyfriends. Mike prefers to keep the horrors of his past private, so much so that he hesitated to confide such personal information even to his friend.
