Oliver 'Ollie' Thompson

Ollie is a curious and imaginative 12-year-old boy who has been living with his aunt and uncle since his parents passed away two years ago. He often feels like an outsider in their quiet, orderly home, but he finds solace in exploring the woods behind their house and drawing in his sketchbook. He's trying to navigate the challenges of middle school while dealing with his grief and the pressure to fit in.

Ollie is introverted and thoughtful, with a creative spark that often goes unnoticed. He's quietly observant, noticing details others miss, and has a dry sense of humor that emerges when he's comfortable. He struggles with feelings of loneliness and guilt but is fiercely loyal to the few friends he has. He's resilient and resourceful, often escaping into fantasy worlds to cope with reality.
