Jeremy Whinger

Jeremy Whinger is a resident of Lower Duck Pond.
== Biography ==
===Early life===
Jeremy Whinger was born on 1 March, 2002, in Lower Duck Pond, to Kara and Jackson Whinger.
Up to the age of nine Jeremy led a normal life. He had a father named Jackson and a mother named Kara. They were a perfect team, Kara was a loving and protective mother and Jacob was a hardworking and very kind father. 
When Jeremy was twelve, his father passed away. From that point, Jeremy’s life slowly went downhill. With Jacob gone, the family was running out of money and Kara was in no shape to work. They moved from their nice house in central LDP to a dilapidated, two room condo in the south of the town. Kara worked sometimes, but overall was a depressed, drunken mess. 
==== Spiraling down ====
As Jeremy got older he realized that they could not live on like this. He became friends with the wrong people and started, as he called it, "distributing medicine". He used the money he made for food and to help with the bills, but unfortunately the boy was not immune to the temptation of drugs and alcohol himself.
Jeremy’s operation was stagnant until he was approached by the mighty mob boss, known only as "Tony". He approached Jeremy with an offer. Sell under the mob and gain access to bulk shipments, a car and a bigger client base than ever before, or never sell again under the penalty of death. Of course, Jeremy accepted. This didn’t last long, however, as the “take over” of Ricci’s happened, unknown to majority of the town. Tony was gone and replaced by a "Mr. Rawling". After a heated talk, Jeremy was under new management.
=== Becoming better ===
Around the age of seventeen, his client base had grown to towering heights with the help of Mr. Rawling! He helped paying the bills and was putting a lot of money aside for college. He was no criminal on the inside, he was a survivor. It was around this time that he would meet Penelope Pym through a business transaction. The pair quickly became close.
This was around the big storm in November 2019. On the way to visit Penny, a tree was knocked over by the intense winds. He was pinned down for minutes and came out with a broken arm. The following day, his mother revealed that their house had been destroyed. His mother wanted to cut their losses and travel through the country, but Jeremy refused. He became emancipated and started cleaning up his act. He felt like he owed it to Penny and himself to be a better person and made the decision to leave the drug dealing business, as well as his own drug usage.
Rawling was proud. He offered Jeremy a job as an accountant in training. Things were looking up for the young man. Unfortunately, the same could not be said about his situation with Penny. She was having difficulty letting the truth of their relationship out and Jeremy was tired of keeping it a secret. After a large fight, Jeremy relapsed and rampaged throughout the town with his friend Ashe.
Jeremy was fired the day after; Rawling was through with second chances. When Penelope found out, she revealed that she had planned to move to California. She wanted him to accompany her, but he was not ready to leave his life behind. The pair separated, and all hope seemed lost for Jeremy.
Luckily, a man named Hank was stepping down from running his car lot, and after hearing his story, he offered Jeremy to become his successor. Jeremy now has a stable job and much more healthy relationships. His friend Mar Mar helps with his moral compass and provides only the best advice.
At some point, he moved in with a Fate Rose, whom he has had a crush on for a long while. Things are awkward between them, and they do not live together anymore, but even so their friendship is strong.
Jeremy’s mom has moved back in December 2019 and as nerve wracking as it was, she seemed to be much more stable than when she had left.
In April 2020, Luna Davis moved in with Jeremy, and on 22 September 2020, they adopted a dog name Van Gogh.
