**Henry Redman** is one of the main characters from the Tom Gibson franchise.

## Personality

Henry is a middle-school aged boy who enrolls with his friends in Lakeside MS. Henry is often cautious and anxious, especially in more serious conditions, but also extremely intelligent and willing to lend advice. He has an extreme knack for peppermints. He expresses this as going crazy and saying phrases like: "Is that a... PEPPERMINT I SEE?!", "I smell peppermints", etc. Sometimes, he mentions these as items used to get his attention, for example, "Hold up. Insert a peppermint in this box, then we'll talk". He is often portrayed in a goofy manner, making him the comic relief of the franchise.

## Physical Appearance

Since 2020, Henry appears with short black hair, an emerald green shirt with a turtleneck sweater that has dark cyan and charcoal zig-zags underneath, cardinal trapezoid-shaped glasses, dark gray pants and cardinal shoes.

## Hobbies

Henry has a knack for reading. Sometimes, he even goes as far as pointing out facts, which occasionally happen to be out-of-context. He also partners with Tom while running a lemonade stand with the slogan "Lakeside's Finest Lemonade" charging 50 cents for a cup.

## Relationships

### Tom

Henry's friend Tom is the closest friend to him alongside Emily. They first met when they were very young. Since then, they've stuck together.

### Rosita Arches

Rival of Henry, Tom, Emily and the others, she serves as the main antagonist. Often harassing or bullying them, it's very hard for anyone to get along with her.

## Trivia

* Henry was created in 2013 alongside Tom, Emily, Woof, Meow, and Tom's family.

* He is generally billed as the deuteragonist of the series, ahead of the rest of the main cast, with the exception of Tom.

* Henry originally sported a flat topped hairline, square glasses, a lime green shirt, blue jeans, and white shoes. This design was re-used for a new year's special in 2017, alongside everyone else's classical design.

* In 2019, his hairstyle was changed to a normal hair-line.

* Because of an issue in 2019, since 2020, Henry now has pale skin, cardinal red trapezoid glasses, a kelly green shirt with a cobalt blue turtleneck with black zig-zags underneath, black pants, and cardinal red shoes.

* According to Wright, Henry is perhaps the trickiest character to sketch mainly due to his glasses and turtleneck. It is done fairly easier through digital inking.

* In original comics, Henry craved watermelon. In 2019, he has changed his focus from watermelon to peppermints, due to Batista's craving of peppermints. Since 2020, peppermints have become the main attraction and watermelon is brought up every once in a while.

* While deciding on Henry's name before making his debut, his other working name was Frank, but was dropped due to the better sound of Henry. However in 2019, the name Frank was given to his pet goldfish.
	+ In 2023, Henry's younger brother, Axel, was created.

* Is a resident of Southern Lakeside Ville at 16520 Water Boulevard Lakeside, USA.
