## History

### Befriending Jonah

Cyrus met Jonah after Andi introduced him to both Cyrus and Buffy. Cyrus was clearly flustered when talking to Jonah and was nervous. He was excited that Jonah let Cyrus call him Jonah instead of Jonah Beck.

At the frisbee game, Cyrus gave massages, sunscreen, and hair ties for the Space Otters. They won shortly after and Jonah said they couldn't do it without him. Jonah started chanting his name and the whole team joined in shortly after.

One day, Jonah pulled Cyrus aside. Cyrus was flustered and apologized because Cyrus thought he did something bad. Jonah asked why he was nervous all the time. Cyrus said that he was raised by four shrinks, which attributes to his nervousness.

### Meeting and Dating Iris

Cyrus met Iris at a carnival on a double date with Jonah and Amber. They got along really well and already had a mash-up name. At the carnival, they played many games but the date went south when Cyrus threw up after getting dizzy on the merry-go-round.

### Space Otters Party and Coming Out to Buffy

The day after the Space Otters Party, Buffy picked up on the fact that something's troubling Cyrus. Buffy said to him that he's scaring her but Cyrus said to Buffy that he's scaring him too. He eventually revealed to her that he was jealous of Andi and Jonah being together. Buffy first thought that he had a crush on Andi, but Cyrus non-verbally indicated that it wasn't Andi. Buffy then put the pieces together and realized it was Jonah. Cyrus said to her that he felt weird and different. Buffy said to him that he may be weird, but he's no different.

### Bar Mitzvah and Coming Out to Andi

Cyrus tries to help, but Andi says that he doesn't understand, Cyrus says that he doesunderstand and says he likes Jonah too. While he doesn't verbally say he's gay, Andi figures it out. The two of them laugh about how fustrating Jonah can be, after talking with Cyrus, Andi says she feels alot better and the three friends rejoin the party.

## Relationships

He met Jonah while at frisbee practice. Andi introduced him. Cyrus was generally nervous and flustered around Jonah until he got a little more comfortable around him. However, as the show progressed he befriended TJ Kippen, his future boyfriend. Cyrus and TJ get together at the end of the show, and their ship name is Tyrus.

Cyrus was proud of his friendship with Jonah and was honored yet flustered when Jonah would say hi to him. Jonah then pulled him aside. Initially, Cyrus thought he did something bad and apologized. Jonah asked Cyrus why he was nervous all the time, to which Cyrus offered the explanation that he has four shrink parents.

Cyrus talked to Jonah while he was broken up with Amber. He encouraged Jonah to follow his heart, trying to point Jonah in the direction of getting together with Andi. However, it backfired, which caused Jonah to get back together with Amber.

Jonah later sent him a text which read "UR Girly!" Cyrus began to get frantic and changed his appearance and attitude to be more "boyish" for Jonah's liking. However, Jonah later said that it was a typo, and actually liked Cyrus for who he was and not who he pretended to be. Jonah especially liked when Cyrus brought all the "swag" to the frisbee games. They quickly reconciled and hugged each other.

Later, Cyrus told Buffy that he didn't have a crush on Jonah anymore and he considered him and Jonah good friends instead.

#### Iris

Cyrus met Iris through Amber. They bonded at the carnival and already had a mashup name. The date went south when Cyrus threw up after getting dizzy on the merry-go-round.

As their relationship grew, he introduced her to Buffy and Andi and while they were walking home, they shared their first kiss.

### Family

His parents are therapists. They got divorced and married two other therapists.

### Friendships

#### Andi Mack

When Andi found out that Bex was actually her mother and Celia was her grandmother, Andi struggled to tell Buffy and Cyrus. However, Cyrus found a picture of Bex and Andi, but Cyrus and Buffy thought that the baby was a "secret baby" and not Andi. Later, Andi told both of them and they said they had lots of questions about it, but appeared to be overall supportive.

At Cyrus' bar-mitzvah, he came out to Andi and told her about his feelings for Jonah. Andi was acceptive of that and they then began to share their common frustrations about having a crush on Jonah.

#### Buffy Driscoll

When Cyrus received a text from Jonah saying that he was girly, he enlisted Buffy to help him become more "boyish." She quizzed him on sports and other things and Cyrus eventually got the hang of it. However, the text turned out to be a typo and Cyrus went back to being his old self.

The day after the Space Otters Party, Cyrus eventually revealed to her that he was jealous of Andi and Jonah being together. Buffy first asked if he had a crush on Andi, but Cyrus shook his head no, and Buffy then put the pieces together and realized it was Jonah. Cyrus said to her that he felt weird and different. Buffy said to him that he may be weird, but he's no different.

At school, Buffy tried to belittle Cyrus and Jonah's relationship as an attempt to make Cyrus feel better. Cyrus said that seeing them together is not painful and wanted to tell Andi what he was feeling and that it would be funny that they have a crush on the same guy. Buffy said that he just had to tell her, but Cyrus didn't want to. Buffy tried to convince him, but he told Buffy that she had to be patient and non-judgemental. Buffy eventually agreed.

## Personality

Cyrus initially was a very nervous and awkward person. He was a completely different person around his friends, usually being supportive and giving them advice. He usually cares about what other people think about him, and he was very unsettled when he was sent a typo which said he was girly.
