## **Character History**

Archer Crabtree is one of the oldest characters in the universe, only behind Jenny Parks and Matilda Kingsley. His first appearance was in a November 2014 scrap story called "Night of Silence." He appeared in several early works as Jenny Parks's main love interest, but became more of an antagonist in later stories. He was briefly written as Elizabeth Carter's brother, but only in one scrap work called "All in the Family," which was written c. February 2015. He has been portrayed as age 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 16, and 27. He has only held a few occupations, including a high school student and athlete, musician, college student, teacher, professor, and coach. He has been in many situations and friendships, but two lasting relationships are his dedicated friendship with Calvin Parks and Sam Morris and his complicated friendship with Jenny Parks. His most notable romantic relationships are his initial relationship with Jenny Parks (which is not in the Lost Tales Universe), his tumultuous relationship with Maria Nickerson, and his surprisingly stable relationship with "Lexie." Archer was originally portrayed as loud, irritable, private, talented, and surprisingly kind. After this, he was portrayed as more rude and sloppy, antagonizing Jenny Parks and her friends especially. He is currently portrayed to be loud, mostly easygoing, somewhat grouchy, committed, ambitious, talented, boyish, athletic, and secretly caring. He usually speaks very loudly and with a pronounced southern accent.

Archer Crabtree is described to have short brown hair, dark brown eyes, and tan skin with freckles. He is most often seen wearing sportswear or clothes appropriate for teaching. He dresses in a preppy style similar to Calvin's. His stock color is brown. His body type is described to be muscular and athletic, though he is much shorter than his friends.
