The Townies
(may contain spoilers)
 |
Gracie O’Doherty age 17 first appeared in chapter 2, page 41 Gracie is Judith’s little sister, and the two couldn’t be more unalike if they tried. Judith is well…she’s Judith, and Gracie is a God-obsessed, better-than-thou-ist. Despite being a nice person under it all, she’s desperate for popularity. Gracie took up the mantle of being Frankie’s minion, and will do anything for his approval or attention. |
 |
Frankie McGregor age 18 first appeared in chapter 2, page 41 Jugs’s power-hungry ex-boyfriend and the amateur photography lech that ruined her reputation. Frankie thrives on attention, so he’ll often put a public display before his own feelings. He’s also painfully aware of the rumors concerning his sexual orientation, and he’ll do anything to discourage them. |
 |
Bobby Turner age 17 first appeared in chapter 2, page 45 Bobby bruises easily. Or at least that’s what he tells people; he’s too busy staring at cleavage to realize that women and girls just hit harder than he does. Bobby works at the general store. He spends a lot of time staring at Jugs’ chest, and she spends a lot of time tormenting him endlessly, knowing that he never laid eyes on any of the photographs that Frankie took. |

Judith O’Doherty age 18 first appeared in chapter 2, page 45 Judith has been Jugs’ rival for most of their adolescent years. Before that, they were best friends. Most of this can be blamed on Roy. Judith has kind of a thing for him. She’s denied it for years, but he’s the only one who can get away with calling her Judy and she tends to jump his bones. A lot. Like, a lot a lot. While never being the “girl next door”, she’s been one of the town’s sweethearts. Homecoming queen, prom queen, choir and drama star. Most of these have left her in close quarters with Frankie for years and allowed her to see him for the lonely rat he is. She denies it, but she’s totally the reason for all of the rumors surrounding him. |
 |
Candice Shaddix age 17 first appeared in chapter 2, page 45 Candice has been the first in line behind Judith her entire life. Judith was the last in the regular girl’s softball line up; Candi was the first on the bench. Candi’s torch for Roy doesn’t help matters. While not quite an outcast, Candi doesn’t really have a steady social circle. She tends to hang out with Jugs as often as she can, but she’s afraid of Steve so she keeps her distance more often than not. |
 |
Georgia Kelley age 27 first appeared in chapter 2, page 46 Both the Kelley kids had a hard childhood; as a result, Geo is overprotective of Luka, almost to the point of being his doormat. Georgia is a live cannon who likes her smokes and booze. She works at a mechanics shop and wanders in and out of Steve’s life at will (hers, not his, dammit). Her hair is never the same twice, and no one’s seen her arms naked in years. |
 |
Luka Kelley age 23 first appeared in chapter 2, page 72 Luka has a temper, but in defiance to his upbringing, he’s not terribly violent to animate objects. Unless you got between him and Rissa. Formerly Steve’s brother-from-another-mother, Luka is currently the Freddy Krueger of Centersville. Luka is incarcerated at Walla Walla penitentiary for involuntary manslaughter. |
 |
Tony Stone age 23 first appeared in chapter 2, page 72 Tony isn’t allowed to speak. Ever. It’d blow the already precarious language ratings on this comic into smithereens. Tony grew up with the Kelleys and was a regular member in Luka’s attempts to make Steve live outside of every human comfort zone imaginable. After the accident, Tony was the only member of the old scene to keep contact with Steve. He works as Steve’s shift manager at the mill outside of town. |
