Isaiah Adams

"The scariest and the most painful thing is to be hated by someone you truly love."
Isaiah Adams is the former childhood bully of Aom Amemiya at the orphanage. He was then adopted by Bai Ling Poppet and Augustine Bournemuth Poppet, but didn't change his surname to better fit in with society as having a Poppet surname would give him a lot of hardship.
== Appearance ==
== Personality ==
Isaiah is a very brooding, choleric, short-tempered, stubborn, brash, and sharp-tongued person. He is also viewed as charismatic and wears his emotions on his sleeves, which causes people to gather around him, and it also allows Isaiah to socialize with outsiders with ease. However, he rarely displays this ability, and rough actions and insensitive remarks are sometimes the only things that come out. Isaiah is also quite violent but when it comes to girls he doesn't hit them and is not the type to hit them and self-sacrificing, and will frequently end up shouting at people, even people he cares about. This behavior of his is a defensive mechanism to hide the pain he has suffered, and he also doesn't want to hurt people and is afraid of making people unhappy if they get close to him. He tries to keep people at arm's length and even resorts to hurting them so they leave him alone because almost everyone in his life has hurt and pitied him so much that he is tired of it.
Underneath his tough personality, Isaiah is very sensitive and vulnerable and cares a great deal about the people he loves. He has a soft side that he doesn't like people seeing, and gets embarrassed quickly. He becomes easily flustered when people cry especially people he cares about, but will work through his discomfort to try and help them. He is not very good at expressing his feelings.
Isaiah harbors a strong hatred towards Zachari, in which he is seen to be a very competitive, tough, no-manners, and always-wanting-to-fight boy. At the same time, Isaiah carries immense self-loathing and guilt, mostly as a result of all the scorn he has received from being adopted by the Poppet Family, and what he perceives is his own hand in causing Aom to lose her eye. As a result his deep hatred towards Zachari is not cemented on the person himself, but on making a scapegoat, a "bad guy" that could make him feel better about himself, serving as a coping mechanism to keep from mentally falling apart.

==== Marissa Poppet ====
Isaiah cares a great deal for his sister Marissa, which he proves many times: after the earthquake, he was the one who rescued and comforted his sister. He often looked out for Marissa when it seemed that her boyfriend was abusing her; he snapped and nearly killed her boyfriend when Marissa made it look like a sexual assault. Even when he learns that Marissa is the one responsible for her boyfriend's death and he sees her true nature, he still loves her unconditionally.
==== Kai Poppet ====
"The littlest things make her happy. She's always smiling. Always finding something to laugh about. She's selfless. Constantly giving more than she gets in return, never realizing. She deserves so much more than what she has. She think she's stupid, a burden, that there's nothing good about her."

==== Aom Amemiya ====
"When did I start feeling like my name had a special ring to it whenever you called out to me? When did I start doing dumb stuff over and over again as long as I knew it would make you smile? When did I start loving you so much that I couldn’t stand it?"Isaiah Adams was Aom's bully when they were in the orphanage together. Isaiah was the one who cut out Aom's eye.

== Quotes ==
* "Broken? What do you mean? I have no idea. Anyway, I don't like "what ifs" about that kinda stuff."
* (About Aom Amemiya) "That day… when I pulled my beads apart… I watched quietly.. as Aom picked them all up. It was proof that I was a monster. Even now, I wouldn’t mind if she threw them into a fire. But after a few years.. maybe I’d grow to regret not having picked them up. I honestly thought that at the time. But I still couldn’t move. She picked them up for me. And it was like she was protecting… both the me of now and the me of the future. Or even… something more distant. Something beyond me. Maybe she was trying to pick up the far off feelings.. of all those people who lived with those beads on. Every last one. I don’t really know. I do know one thing. I know.. that “loving” someone.. isn’t just always loving what’s right in front of you. There’s also the past… and the future. Loving someone means embracing it all."
* "I knew it. I knew it all along. Just as there’s rejection in this world, there are people who will reach out to you."
