Alden Jones

Alden Fauntleroy Owen Jones is the deuteragonist of Braceface and Sharon's love interest and later boyfriend. He was voiced by Vincent Corazza, and on occasion Scott McCord.

## Appearance

He first appeared in the pilot episode "Brace Yourself", when he asked Sharon if she would like to join him at the dance with him. He is the height of being cool. Guys like him, girls flock to him, he is good-looking and easygoing, but the nicest thing about Alden is that he has no clue just how adorable or popular he is to others. He is always stunned when he hears that girls think he is cute. “Me? Are you sure?” Not that Alden is uncomfortable with the ladies. He has three sisters, so girls are no big mystery to him. He was comfortable enough to talk about periods with Sharon after she got hers.

Like a lot of guys, Alden is into video games and sports. He is a talented hockey player, and plays guitar in a band called Mangled Metal with his buddies, Brock and Carmen. They practice really hard, and the band has gotten pretty good, They will not be playing venues like Madison Square Garden any time soon, but that does not stop Alden from having rock-star dreams.

Alden is Sharon’s first crush and boyfriend.

## Relationship with Sharon Spitz

Sharon is considered kind of a nerd with braces. Alden is the handsome, wonderful guy that all of the girls love. In the beginning of the series, Sharon obsesses over Alden and after a lot of flirting, they actually do end up going out. They are a really cute couple. It's nice to see the main character finally get the amazing guy that they'd been dreaming about.

The two are really sweet together. And at first, everything seems like it's going great. However, Sharon has to evolve as a character before Alden can remain as her boyfriend. Unfortunately, Sharon is very insecure and one of her insecurities end up leading Alden to dump her.

Sharon grows as a kind, confident, more-laid back person as the series progresses. Eventually, Alden ends up realizing that he is still in love with Sharon and they get back together in the final episode of the series "Leap of Faith." They end up really loving each other. This couple grows as the series progresses. It starts out in eighth grade and ends somewhere in the end of high school.

In a blooper of the series, Sharon and Alden are making out in a janitors closet for 5 mins, but are found by Maria and Brock (their friends) and then Sharon blushes and Alden scratches his head.
