Zachary Ridge

Zachary Ridge is an antagonist in Fables of Cypress High, and the deuteragonist of Tales of Cypress High. He is friendly, optimistic, and talented. He knows how to play the synth and the saxophone. He has a crush on Persephone. He can go into what he calls a "Danger State", where his brown eyes turn red, and he loses control of his actions. This is mostly triggered if he catches a mean boy, namely Chris or Jake, making a move on Persephone. He often locks himself in wherever he can, namely a restroom stall or his room, which he shares with Anthony. He stays locked up until his rage subsides.
==Profile==
===Appearance===
He has spiked orange hair and brown eyes, which turn red in his "Danger State", and fairish pale skin.
He wears a light red hoodie with two horizontal white stripes on the left sleeve, dark khaki trousers, and red sneakers with white toes, soles, and laces. He wears a white T-shirt underneath his hoodie, and he sleeps in his T-shirt and a pair of black shorts.
===Personality===
He is talented, smart, and casual. He loves paying the synth and the saxophone, and he is in a band, where he plays both instruments, depending on the music. He is energetic, friendly, and "cute", as said by others, mainly the mean girls. He is innocent, cheerful, and optimistic. People, such as Tony, often ask him for test answers, to which he makes a witty remark, showing he has a sarcastic side to him.
In his "Danger State", he acts in an insane, violent, and frightening matter. He has no control over his actions in this state, and he wears a malevolent grin the entire time. This side is mostly revealed if someone bullies Anthony, or if someone tries to hit on Persephone. He is classified as a yanderehttps://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=yandere because of this.
He developed his friendliness and optimism on his own, since his mother would hurt him, both physically and psychologically. He did not attend school until age 7, where his IQ was already the adult average. He met Anthony in 5th grade, and they've been best friends ever since. He took secret synth lessons, and Anthony taught him how to play the saxophone. When he was 12, he eventually reported his mother, and got her arrested. He was relocated to a new home, which just so happened to be with Anthony's family. Neither of them speak of this.
==Trivia==
*Despite being a yandere, he can cope with rejection.
*He is based off of Zack Rogers from Super Rad!.
