Billy Hargrove

Billy initially comes across as a classic "bad boy" type but with more sinister, violent undertones. He portrays himself as charming, irresistible, and the new King of Hawkins High with a "devil may care" attitude. However due to the abuse he suffered at the hands of his father, he has a violent and unpredictable nature.

Billy drives a blue Camaro and is a drinking-game pro, immediately becoming keg king in Hawkins.

That night, Billy attended Tina's Halloween party and impressed many Hawkins teenagers by winning a drinking contest, a contest that Steve Harrington, a very popular student at their school, had (up until then) claimed the title of. Billy quickly gained Tommy H. as a friend and lackey. Tommy H. then introduced Billy to Steve Harrington. Although the introduction was brief, it ignited a rivalry between Billy and Steve.

Billy joined the school basketball team and played against Steve, demonstrating skill and strength over him. Billy's team won easily against Steve's team.

Billy was born on March 29, 1967, in California. His father(Neil Hargrove) was physically abusive to him and his mother. Billy had a strong passion for surfing as a kid, and his mother was very supportive of him. He has fond memories of her standing on the beach watching him surf. His mother left him sometime later when he was about ten years old, due to Neil's abusive behavior. Neil eventually married Susan Mayfield, the mother of Max Mayfield, who was introduced to Billy as his "new sister" which he did not like. Neil's abuse towards Billy turned him into a childhood bully, and he would beat up other kids and began to extend to the abuse of Max.

In 1984, Billy and his new family moved from California to Hawkins, Indiana, and he began attending Hawkins High School.

In 1984, Billy joined the school basketball team and played against Steve, demonstrating skill and strength over him. Billy's team easily won against Steve's.

Soon, he grew tired of basketball, and Jason Carver took over the team and became the team's captain. Billy and Jason have a good relationship, but they are not close, nor are they close with the other players on the team.

In the summer of 1985, Billy began working as a lifeguard at Hawkins Community Pool. Billy, being in very good shape, gathered much attention from women.

Andy was born around 1970. In 1984, Andy attended Hawkins High School and was friends with Jason Carver, Patrick McKinney and Chance. They became close and joined the basketball team together.

Andy Harper is shown to be crueler and more ruthless than the rest of his basketball teammates. He has no qualms about making insensitive jokes. Andy is also very self-centered as he mocked those who were not as popular as him and his friends. He is 5'10. He has blue eyes and light brown curly hair. Andy also always wears a white cap with an orange visor.
