BULLETPROOF: Meet Marcus!

Writer's picture: Jonah BraelynJonah Braelyn

Hello everyone! Welcome to Blonde Girl Writing Blog, where I share about faith, writing, and reading.


Today, I want to introduce you to a supporting character from my novel, BULLETPROOF!


"I never knew you." Marcus Baker

Marcus Cadwell Baker is a fifteen-year-old boy who lives in a small town in modern-day America with his parents, four siblings, and aunt and uncle.


Marcus has dark skin, deep brown eyes, and black hair that he typically styles into spikes. He is very reserved and normally doesn't show much emotion at all--if he does it's usually embarrassment or annoyance. He enjoys being alone, coding, and listening to music, as well as learning about sign language and Deaf culture so he can connect better to his cousin Mary.


Marcus lives with his parents, Michael and Madison Baker, as well as his four siblings, Maria (19), Melody (12), Miles (9), and Martin (7). Also living in the Baker home are Marcus's aunt and uncle, Shantel and George, and Mary (14), Marcus's Deaf cousin. Marcus loves his family, but often withdraws to his room when they get too loud--which is often. He prefers to spend his time with Mary, signing to her and learning more about sign language.


A few years before the start of the book, Marcus's parents started to act...different. His mom would act prim and proper one moment, and the next moment be yelling at the children. His father would act like a sitcom father, always calling his sons "sport" and being rather goofy. Marcus isn't sure why they're acting weird, but he believes the answer lies in BULLETPROOF.


 

So, let me know below: what do you think about Marcus? Do you have any questions about him?


Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed learning about Marcus!


Best wishes,

Jonah
