Wayne Finster

Physical Attributes and Posture - "Disconnected" Gaze: His eyes widen when he gets nervous.

School Shoes: He wears pristine white leather loafers or orthopedic sneakers. He never wears trendy shoes or skates. The Spare Sweater: Even on mild days, he usually carries a light knit sweater tied around his neck or knitted vests that his parents force him to wear "just in case the weather changes." Key Accessories (His "Comfort Items") The Plastic Lunchbox: It is his most sacred possession. It is a rigid lunchbox, in a bright, childish color (blue or red), which clashes completely with the high school setting.

It has lumbar support because her parents are worried about her spine. Cloth handkerchief: She always carries a

[Psychology & Background: Wayne is your typical high school kid, trapped in a bubble of parental overprotection.
