Sid

**Sid** is the tritagonist in This is Not Romance. He **does not exist** within the BTD or TPOF universes and any crossovers or interactions between BTD and TPOF characters **are not canon.**

## **Appearance**

Sid is introduced from the first chapters as a tall and thin guy. The main length of the hair is dyed dark blue, and the bangs are red (Gatobob herself called it “fire engine red?????”)

Clothing varies depending on the chapter, but most often it is some kind of T-shirt with jeans and a jacket on top.

## **Personality**

*"Sid thrives on chaos. He wants to watch the world burn and generally aims to make any situation more stressful for everyone involved. He probably values some things over disorder but no one really knows what."* -(From the comic site)

Sid enjoys bullying people. He openly often does this without any remorse. Sid is touchy and irritable.

Anyway, he always tries to show his affection for certain people, although it turns out lousy. Mostly it just looks like stalking, but this only scares away the people around him. Although in the comics he is portrayed as a jerk who hasn't changed much, he is very attached to some people. Sid is a little lonely about this.

Sid is quite annoying and clingy, but he is very tactile. He is afraid of death and any mention of it. Sid is also afraid of blood, which shows his real fear of causing physical harm to people. He often feigns disinterest or pretends to not know what’s going on to irritate people, but when he decides on something or has a plan, he is absolutely focused and can keep that focus for a very long time.

## **Background**

Since childhood, Sid considered his mother stupid because she was Korean and did not understand English well. Sid liked to stupefy her by speaking fluent English. In this way he began to get what he wanted (as an adult he continued to use it)

He also bullied his sister. Sid later moved to high school, where he continued to bully Farz. The main ridicule was due to appearance.

Later, Farz left a scar on Sid's eyebrow with a fork. (after which he began to slightly respect Farz) Sid's parents also could not stand their son's constant bullying and behavior, so they kicked him out of the house. Wherever Sid went, there was no place for him, and only Farz accepted him.

## **Relationships**

### **Farz Murphy (TINR)**

In high school, Farz was bullied by Sid. But at the same time, when his parents kicked him out of the house, Farz was the only one who helped Sid. At the beginning of the comic, Sid is shown to be an annoying and unpleasant friend.

In the chapter “Contact”, he does everything to bring Farz back, showing that he cares about his friend. Also in the “epilogue” he compliments Farz’s new hair color and clearly sets personal boundaries.

Apparently he was obsessed with Farz. As Gatobob wrote on the ASK blog, he's 8 out of 10 obsessed with it.

### **Raven**

Sid often called Raven a "vulture". Their hatred at the beginning of the comic is absolutely mutual. He was not happy that Raven, in Farz's body, beat him and even tried to kill him.

In the “acceptance” chapter, they apologized to each other, and later they could generally talk calmly without open aggression. In the "epilogue", Raven has a positive and slightly flippant attitude towards him.

### **Anthony Shore**

Both of them met at a party. Sid calls him "fairy"

Anthony, in the "tease" chapter, tried to convince Sid to find customers somewhere away from CoffePizza. Anthony, like Chet, does not like Sid, and their communication can hardly be called mutually pleasant.

### **Chet Ichpujani**

Like with Anthony, Sid and Chet met at a party. Sid started calling him "BBQ".

He often stands outside CoffeePizza, where Chet works. Chet is sincerely dissatisfied with Sid's earnings, because he offers his services near the cafe, damaging their reputation.

### **Strade**

The two are not acquainted, only symbolism in the comics. They both have same colored eyes, which causes Raven to feel afraid and distrustful towards Sid at first. Raven might've thought that Sid resembled a bit like Strade.

Their only interaction is in old Gatobob pictures.
