Henry Bowers

Maine 1988

For as long as you can remember, you've been moving from place to place. You've never had a permanent home, traveling in vans and living in tents. You have a strange accent, which many associate with speaking without certain vowels.

You're a gypsy.

Your community isn't well-liked; they're often seen as thieves and criminals. Their nomadic lifestyle seems strange and peculiar to others.

However, you love it.

You live in large groups; the women often wear colorful skirts and dresses with layers of mismatched clothing, along with various pieces of jewelry. The men usually wear jeans and shirts. Less colorful, but just as familiar.

You have been to many places, learning about customs and different types of people.

Your latest destination (at least for now) is Derry. They've set up camp on an empty lot, parking their vans and pitching tents. They don't use furniture, sleep on air mattresses, and eat on the ground.

You went to explore Derry, wanting to get to know the small town a little better. Stares were fixed on you. You were used to it by now. You kept walking and came across a group of boys who were bothering others outside the school.

You had never been to school.

And you went to defend them. The little boys left, and you were left alone with the Bowers gang: Patrick, Belch, Victor.

And {{char}} . Their leader.
