## History

### Background

Tommy Kit Hagan was born late in the evening of 12th June 1966, making him a Gemini. He was born to Vera Hagan and an unknown father in their home in Chicago before shortly being given up to his Aunt Mary. The woman raised and continues to home him.

He attended Hawkins first school, making friends with Steve Harrington and best friends with Jonathan Byers , even staying over at the Byers home a few times (against Marys wishes due to Lonny still living at the residence.) During his first year at middle school Tommy was driven away from being Jonathon's friend by Lonny, who threatened the boy and lied to him telling him Jonathon didn't actually like him and was too nice to tell him. This started Toms hatred towards Jonathon as it had really hurt him.

Tommy became much closer to Steve and began talking to a young Carol Perkins around the same time. *Notably* attending a middle school dance together. According to classmate Barbara Holland, Carol and Tommy had been "having sex since, like, seventh grade". Tommy began bullying other children around middle school including Barbara Holland, Theodore Wright, Robin Buckley and Jonathan Byers.

#### 1983

Tommy was a student at Hawkins High School, where he had a circle of friends that included Steve Harrington, Nicole, and his girlfriend at the time, Carol Perkins. They would often spend their free time hanging out, going to parties, and engaging in various activities around town.

On the 8th of November in the year 1983, Carol and Tommy were in attendance at a pool party hosted at the residence of Steve Harrington. This is where Tommy mostly spend his time together Carol at the pool or inside by the fireplace. Also present at the party were Steve himself, accompanied by his then girlfriend Nancy Wheeler, and Barbara Holland, who happened to be Nancy's closest friend.

Following the pool party, the same group of teenagers, excluding Barbara who had mysteriously disappeared, continued to spend time together at school in the days that followed. However, Nancy began to express her concerns regarding the unexplained absence of her friend Barb, and as a result, she gradually became less involved in the group's activities. Much to Tommy's and Carol's liking.

After finding out that Jonathan Byers had been present at the party and taking pictures while hiding in the foliage, him, Steve, Nicole, and Carol confronted Jonathan at school; then proceeded to vandalize his camera and destroy the pictures he had taken.

After Steve expressed he got concerned about Nancy following the camera incident, Tommy and Carol made fun of him for caring about her. However, they eventually drove to the Wheeler's house together. Tommy then watched as Steve climbed up the roof to Nancy's bedroom window, where the brunet saw her and Jonathan Byers together. Mistakenly believing they were being intimate, he felt hurt and angry. Tommy instantly agreed to how fucked up it was and brought up an evil idea for them to do the next day as pay back.

The following day, Steve, Tommy, Carol, and Nicole vandalized the Hawk Theater with offensive slurs. This eventually provoked a physical altercation between Steve and Jonathan, resulting in Steve receiving injuries to his face. The police arrived on the scene, but the group managed to evade them and escape.

At a gas station later on, Steve expressed regret for his actions and called out Tommy and Carol for their behavior, referring to them as "assholes". In response, Tommy threatened to fight him. Steve then left, leaving Tommy and Carol angry and confused. *This friendship was over.*

#### 1984

Carol and Tommy's relationship began to experience a rough patch during their senior year in 1984. While Tommy was preoccupied with getting into college, as his grades had suffered in the previous years, Carol began to feel neglected and isolated in their relationship. Despite Carol voicing her concerns to Tommy about their relationship, he didn't give it much attention. Tommy was determined to focus on his future and not let his life in Hawkins hold him back. He had neglected his grades in the past and wanted to make sure he didn't end up like Steve, stuck in the same town with no prospects.

Following the arrival of Billy Hargrove, Tommy quickly became friends with him, as Billy was able to outdo Steve in terms of popularity. At Tina's Halloween Party, Tommy was seen cheering on his new friend, and joined in to belittle Steve about his dethronement by the new Hawkins King, Billy.

Two days later, after Nancy broke up with Steve, Tommy ridiculed and belittled Steve about his failed relationship. When Steve discovered that Nancy had left with Jonathan, Tommy was shown laughing maliciously at Steve's expense. This behavior towards Steve was indicative of Tommy's desire to remain in Billy's good graces, even if it meant throwing his old friend under the bus.

During Halloween of that year Tommy and his friends relentlessly follow and bully Theodore Wright when the boys family farm shows rotting pumpkins ahead of the years "Pick Your Pumpkin" event, they spread rumors that Theo had planned to poison the town. Tommy truly believes this and continues to be aggressive towards the Wright boy.

Inevitably, the mounting tension between Tommy and Carol culminated in a heated argument about loyalty, prompted by Carol expressing her thoughts on Tommy's new found friend. This dispute ultimately led to their official breakup later that year.

#### 1985

The brand new Star court Mall opens in Hawkins. Tommy got a job working in the movie theater as an usher to save up for college. Here he got to watch all the newest movies of the year.

Star court burns down with his former friend inside, Tommy is left heartbroken and spoke at William 'Billy' Hargrove's funeral.

At the end of the year Tommy traveled to Indiana State college to study engineering.

#### 1986

In the year 1986, Tommy made his way back to Hawkins after abandoning his studies. Unable to withstand the pressures of pursuing his education any further, he felt compelled to leave. Instead of getting his own place, he decided to live with his Aunt Mary, who resided near Loverslake. It was there that he managed to secure a job at her car garage, enabling him to support himself while he figured out his next steps.
