Alan Tracy

**Alan Tracy** is the one of the protagonists from the 2015 Thunderbirds Are Go! television series. He is the pilot of Thunderbird 3, and astronaut for International Rescue.

## In Thunderbirds Are Go!

Alan may not have as many missions as his other siblings, however he is in quite alot of episodes even as a minor role of being the one to fly Scott or Kayo around in Thunderbird 3 on a few occasions. These are a few selected episodes where Alan really gets to show that despite being young for his age, his is every bit as competent as a memeber of International Rescue as his brothers are. (for a full episode listing you can find them here:)

## Personality & Traits

As the youngest member of the Tracy family, Alan is the most jovial, expressive, animated and excitable of the team. He is a lover of action and loves to show off how brave he can be even if things can get a little out of hand from him from time to time ( Space Race and Slingshot) and takes alot of pride in his job with International Rescue. Alan is the astronaut pilot of Thunderbird 3.

There are times where Alan does things on impulse which can cause more problems, (Slingshot, Designated Driver) however he always pulls through and sees a mission right from beginning to end.

As a typical teenager he doesn’t always like being told what to do (Runaway) and enjoys alot of lazier past times like sunbathing, pillow fighting (Earthbreaker) and video games - along with the typical teenage boy habit of falling asleep whenever the opportunity presents itself, even when he standing on his own two feet (Heist Society).

This doesn’t mean he is a complete slouch when it comes to rescues by any means, in fact he enjoys the action and adventure each mission brings and always hates being left out when something really big is happening and his other brothers are involved. There are times where his knowledge seems full of holes “There's no trees in Antarctica, Alan.” (Brains - EOS) however when it comes to things he loves like space, he is a mine of information like with his obsession with Hailey's comet - which is unfortunate for his eldest brother Scott who has heard it over and over again “ It’s not the first time you've reminded us of it Alan, or the second, or the third..." (Comet Chasers) - and he tends to be a little bit of a show off, trying to match the level of playful banter of his siblings with Kayo also having to put up with being on the end of his happy-go-lucky approach to rescues. (It's not known if he has a real 'crush' on Kayo though John seems to tease him in Ghost Ship about not telling her he is afraid of ghosts, hinting that Alan may like her alot more than he shows as a sister rather than romantic feeling to it)
