Michael Bradley District 4

Michael has brown hair that he keeps short out of habit. He is not the most attractive of people, although this is mainly due to a lack of pride in his appearance and with a little more effort, more smiling, less scowling, he could probably become at least presentable. His clothing is usually inexpensive and non-descript, he doesn't have money to waste on more fashionable garments, nor does he believe he would look good in such clothes. The only really eye-catching part of his appearance is, quite fittingly, his eyes, which are a deep sea blue and seem to change with every tiny change in his emotions.

Michael is a very insular person, he prefers not to be among large groups. He has few people that he would call friends, and few people that would call him a friend, but this is of no concern to him. On the surface he appears to be emotionless and bleak, but it is more complicated than that. Michael's upbringing taught him not to show his emotions clearly, to obey when told to do something, and to keep his mouth shut. This made things easier for his father, but caused a great change in the developing mind of the young Michael.

Michael Bradley has not had the happiest upbringing in history. His mother died giving birth to him and his father, who had loved his wife dearly and had been eagerly anticipating the birth of their son and their lives together as a family, changed. He became insular, only leaving the home three times a week on his boat to fish. The young Michael was not well looked after. He was kept seperate from others outside of school, he was pushed into working with his father on the boat...he learnt what his father's fists felt like soon enough. As a result, he is quiet, he keeps his emotions veiled, his sadness that he never knew his mother, his desire to have a better life...his burning hatred for the parent who did not live up to his responsibilities...
