## Appearances

### Debut

Season 1, Episode 1

**Adam Dixon** is the main character in the 2020 show *Oklahoma High*. The story follows him and his best friend, Joshua, along their senior year in high school.

## *Appearance*

Adam is a tall 17 year old boy. He is described by other students as having an average build, yet still being very wimpy in comparison to his other male classmates. He has chestnut colored hair and brown eyes. His sister pokes fun at him for being the weakest kid in his gym class.

Adam dresses like your typical teenage boy. Jeans, long sleeved shirts, and a pair of worn down sneakers. Joshua tries to convince him to change up his style, but Adam refuses. He says he "prefers the run-down look" that he sports.

## *Personality*

Adam is a confident, yet oblivious boy. His peers describe him as air-headed and clueless. While he gets good grades in his studies, this is where his intelligence ends. Despite his obliviousness, he tries his hardest to support his friends.

His obliviousness has gotten him in to many comedic, and at times downright embarrassing, situations. He is extremely protective of his sister, and wants what is best for her at all times. His social unawareness in regards to this has caused him to get into trouble.

However, Adam is also known to be very opinionated and judgmental. This is seen in his dislike of Noah, who he disregards as a "dumb jock," in his words. This is ironic because in Mormon faith, it is believed that God is the only one who is able to cast judgement on others. His disliking of Noah has resulted in him being very critical of his relationship with Eve. He's very adamant that the two cannot have a good relationship because Noah, in his mind, would only really judge people for their appearance.

He and his family are devout Mormons. He attends church every Sunday. He supports all religions, which many fans have criticized for being "too out of character" for the time period.

## *History*

Adam was born and raised in Oklahoma, Utah. He spent his entire life in their small town. He has regularly participated in after school activities, such as soccer, ever since he was little. He enjoys spending his time in extracurricular activities.

Adam's most important milestone was his first day of 9th grade. He and Jessica has met for the first time, after she had tripped and scraped her knee. He helped her up and walked her to the nurse, and they have been inseparable ever since. She was very easily accepted into his tight-knit friend group.

His childhood was mostly uneventful. He got good grades in school and even tutored his classmates. He plans on going to a small state college, so he can stay by his families side even after he graduates. Adam wants to stay in his small town forever. The most notable event in his childhood was having been bullied by some classmates (names unknown) in middle school. It's believed this is where his cynicism towards more popular classmates, such as Noah, comes from. Though, besides that mindset, the bullying doesn't seem to have a lasting affect on Adam, as he doesn't express fear or depression when recalling the events. This could imply that he simply found the bullying annoying rather than being actually detrimental to his self-esteem in any way. In *Season 1, Episode 6*, Adam claims to have had a decent amount of friends in middle school and was respected by many for his tutoring skills, so it's unlikely that he was targeted by bullies for any specific reason; rather they likely bothered many people throughout the school.

## *Relationships*

### **Eve Dixon**

Eve is Adam's younger sister. They have been attached at the hip ever since they were children. She is only one year younger, so Adam believes it is his responsibility to keep her out of trouble at school.

Eve teases her brother relentlessly about his obliviousness.

Adam doesn't approve of Eve dating Noah. Though he knows their relationship is healthy, he's adamant about wanting them to break up simply because he does not like Noah.

### **Joshua**

Joshua has been Adam's best friend since Kindergarten. They go everywhere together. Joshua was first to get a car, so he is the designated driver when they go on their hang-out trips. Joshua is practically a part of the family. He stays over night more often than he is at his own house.

Josh always makes sure to bring the newest popular video game for him and Adam to play together.

### **Jessica Brosnahan**

Jessica has had a crush on Adam since the two met in freshman year, but Adam has been too oblivious to notice. He often interprets romantic gestures from Jessica as acts of friendship, leading to many frustrating scenes such as the infamous *Season 1, Episode 10*, in which after Jessica comforts Adam and tells him how much she cares about him, he responds by telling her he values her friendship. This has lead some fans to speculate that Adam knows about Jessica's feelings but pretends not to since he doesn't want it to affect their friendship. However, Adam is known to be fairly opinionated so doing this would seem out-of-character for him to do.
