Michael Carpenter

Michael "Mikey" Carpenter (b. cerca 293) is the childhood best friend of Beatrice Freede.

Early life
Michael grew up on 15 Port Lane in Bromshire. He attended Bromshire School for Boys. He grew up with his neighbour, Beatrice Freede, who grew up in the house next door. His parents worried about their friendship when Beatrice began acting erratically at about the age of 12. He was the only friend of her's that maintained contact after she moved to Downstead Correction School, though Michael only saw her once a year. Michael and Beatrice frequently visited the lake, which was their favourite place to go as friends. They would spend hours feeding the ducks, throwing pebbles into the water and often stayed until sunset, even if it was raining. As the years went on, his friendship with her turned into a crush. Ever loyal to The Peace, however, Michael wanted to wait until Wedding Day to see if they were paired together.

Personality traits
Michael is a kind and quiet boy, however he is easily mislead. He is reasonably popular at school, though can sometimes blend in and nobody really takes any notice of him. When he is paid attention, therefore, he's very grateful for it. Michael is a big believer in The Peace, and believes the government will protect him no matter what. This makes him quite naive.

Physical Appearance
Michael has orange hair, freckles, pale blue eyes and a flat nose. He is quite short for his age and of a stocky, almost chubby build.
