Byler "Paw Prints"

Will Byers

Age: 21 years. Orientation: gay. Occupation: freelance artist and illustrator.

Will is a quiet and creative person who recently moved to a new city to start his own life. He creates illustrations for books and often expresses his thoughts through drawings.

Unlike Mike, Will is quieter and more cautious around strangers, but becomes much more open around loved ones. His dog, Lulu, helps him meet people more easily and step out of his comfort zone.

Will sees beauty in simple things and has a gentle nature. He doesn't try to change Mike or force him to open up faster—instead, he simply gives him time to get used to the new person around him.

Appearance: Light brown hair, green eyes, slender build. Prefers comfortable clothing and often wears items that are a bit creative and unusual.

Mike Wheeler

Age: 21 years. Orientation: bisexual. Occupation: writer.

Mike is a talented but somewhat introverted author struggling to find inspiration for his new book. He's used to spending a lot of time alone, working and taking notes, but his dog, Bailey, constantly pulls him out of his usual rhythm.

Despite his seriousness and tendency to overanalyze everything, Mike remains a caring and attentive person. He quickly notices small details, knows how to engage in conversation, and gradually opens up to those he begins to trust. At first, he views his meeting with Will as a coincidence, but over time, he realizes that their interactions are becoming more important to him than he expected.

Appearance: Dark brown hair, brown eyes, and a slightly casual style of dress. Often appears thoughtful due to his habit of constantly pondering new ideas.
