Jared Fuqua

Jared Fuqua is a major character from The Real Unreal. He is the ten-year-old son of LaVerne Fuqua and the brother of Jerrica Fuqua. 
He lives with his mother inside the home of Ruby and Gordon Delaney alongside their daughter and Jared's god-aunt, Carmen Delaney. 
== History ==
One day, Jared fell asleep underneath his staircase, awaking to find a strange creature in his glass of water. He's unable to find its species, and nicknames it Happy Garry. Although the rest of his family cannot see Happy Garry, Gordon Delaney is able to hear them.
After overhearing Gordon coughing from the onset of his illness, Jared takes it upon himself to follow Happy Garry beyond their home and into The Real Unreal. Leaving behind only a note atop his bed, Jared went missing on July 27, sometime between 3pm and 5pm.
After discovering Happy Garry after falling asleep under the stairs, Jared quickly becomes engrossed in trying to determine what Garry is, where it came from, and who else in the home is able to see Garry. To do this, he devised a test with the help of his online friends whom he plays MineTech with. 
Using his phone, Jared took videos of his attempts to get his family to see Garry so that he could send it to his friends and Jerrica. Upon showing the glass jar in which Garry was held, neither LaVerne or Carmen could see it. Carmen did however attempt to play along with Jared, acting as though she did see Garry. In the end, this upset Jared as he didn't want to be treated like a child. Moving on, Jared brings Garry to Gordon. Though blind, Jared wanted to see if Gordon could hear the musical clicks that Garry uses to communicate. Gordon is able to hear Garry and describes his vocalizations as a good tune. The video ends with Jared showing the viewer the glass jar and asking if they can see Garry inside. For a brief moment at the end of the video, the inside of the jar warps and a flash of purple illuminates on screen before the video ends. 
Guided by Happy Garry, Jared entered into The Real Unreal to locate a cure to Gordon's illness. 
A note written by Jared now appears within House of Eternal Return referencing his search for Happy Garry. Jared and his family also appear in glitches and flashes on the videos in the video arch between the Forest and Fancy Town.
