Lukas Littlewood

**Lukas “Luke” Littlewood** is a Minie on All Boro, a main character of some of the storylines, and is the 3rd child of 5 to Maverick and Rose Littlewood. He is very active and enjoys trying new things. As a kid, he tried joining as many clubs at school as he was able to, eventually settling on theater and soccer, his two favorites. Now, he lives at his home with his wife, Sophie, and seeing his four grown children every so often.

## Personality

Luke is known for his energetic, loving, and sometimes clingy behavior. He tends to stick around people he knows and trusts, often times it being Sophie. He enjoys sports, whether watching or playing, and usually invites some of his friends out to play a game of soccer during nice weather. When he’s not doing that, he’s home watching a game or checking in on his kids. While he loves all four of his kids equally, he’s got a close and personal connection with his youngest, Sydney, after her rough childhood dealt by the hands of her older sister, Audrey.

Luke, when he’s angry, doesn’t pursue a fight. He’ll sit back and let the other person rant it out before giving his opinion in a calm manner. This will often lead to him holding a bad attitude for the rest of the day, sometimes even snapping at someone else if the argument was that bad. He doesn’t mean it, and tries to keep his mouth shut, but it boils inside and he just can’t hold it in sometimes.

## Backstory

Luke grew up the 3rd child of 5, being the third son. He lived in the shadows of his older brothers who, despite gaining most of the attention from their mother, loved him anyways. The 5 siblings: Luke, his older two brothers Thomas and Gavin, and his younger siblings, Oliver and Brooklyn, were all very close, usually brought together by their father, who would go above and beyond to show them love and respect… unlike their controlling mother, Rose, who tried to mask her controlling behavior as a sign of affection and a ‘mother-knows-best’ mentality. Luke, originally, thought his mother was just being cautious, genuinely loving them, up until he finally saw how she treated his sister, turning on her in a heartbeat.

Unfortunately, he still had to live with her, as his father didn’t feel comfortable leaving her, and leaving his kids alone with her. Luke and his siblings stuck it out, all growing up with their own dreams and desires. Luke’s, during middle school, was acting. Something he found out he enjoyed doing in the later years of elementary school. He joined each school play from 6th grade through 8th, meeting new friends, including a girl named Julie.

Luke and Julie were often cast as lead roles and, if not leads, major side characters together. They were close, in sync, and would always work well with their personalities. It was obvious, after a few years of working together, that something started. Luke wasn’t sure if it was a relationship, though he remembers at the time, he was hoping it would be. He tried hinting at it, unsure of how to progress it further. Looking back on it, he could tell Julie knew and felt the same, but 8th grade fall play came and, while Luke and Julie were both cast as the leads again, Julie had to drop out for personal reasons. Luke, devastated by this, felt the need to drop, too. He was too nervous to work with someone new…and with the understudy having an emergency herself, he was out of options.

His older brother, Thomas, told him to stick it out, that he knew someone who would take the lead role. Luke, confused, just took his brother’s word for it, and stayed. This is when Luke met Sophie, the shy girl from his own island. He was confused as to why she took the lead role, since she’s afraid of the attention. Sophie explained how her older sister, Ariana, talked her into doing it, thinking it would be a great way for her to open up, and since her sister was dating Luke’s brother, Ariana knew Luke was in the play and that Sophie would be in good hands. Luke went with it, helping her with her lines, and giving her advice to help her forget about the audience watching her. Sophie tried her best, feeling embarrassed that she was having trouble. Luke invited her over to help her with her lines and even some acting tips, since Sophie felt as if she was too stiff. She agreed and the two started gaining a better connection, even the play’s director was impressed with how quickly Sophie was learning and improving. Luke noticed it, too. The two eventually started hanging out without rehearsals, becoming close friends, the best of friends.

Luke started to gain feelings towards Sophie, almost forgetting at those he had with Julie completely and, by the end of 8th grade year, Luke and Sophie were officially a couple. Luke thanks Julie for indirectly pushing them to that, as she asked Sophie why she and Luke hung out so often, and whether or not they were dating. Luke and Sophie believe to have had a decent relationship during the last few weeks of 8th grade, as well as keeping it strong through high school. At 20, after months of talking about it and being slightly nervous in going through with it, Luke proposes to Sophie, believing to be ready. Thankfully, Sophie agreed, and the two married almost a year later, aged 21.

Planning for their future, the two decide on 3 kids, thinking that they could afford it, wanting to give them a great life without financial issues. Luke expressed his hopes for a daughter, with Sophie agreeing. Their first two children turned out to be sons, but Luke and Sophie were just as happy to have them both, loving them just as much as they would a daughter. Their joy was unmatched, however, learning of their third pregnancy to be their first daughter, giving birth to Audrey, the baby sister of Dylan and Jordan. Luke and Sophie felt accomplished, loving their family very much. When Audrey was 3, they learned they were expecting another child. They were slightly nervous, as they weren’t expecting a 4th child. This didn’t stop them from loving the baby all the same, even giving them a burst of happiness learning that they’d get a second daughter. Luke and Sophie, while living with the fear come true of some financial issues, did everything they could to give all four of their kids a great childhood…unbeknownst to them, Audrey was ruining the childhood of her little sister, Sydney.

Luke had no idea of Audrey’s abuse towards Sydney, as she learned to hide it early. Audrey was giving Sydney the idea that Luke hated her, that his loving self was just faking it, and secretly hated her. Sydney, being an impressionable toddler, believed her. Luke, on the other hand, felt she was just going through some toddler troubles. Luke would show to all four of his kids that he wanted them to be happy and healthy, doing whatever it took. He didn’t learn of the secret issues between his daughters until after they were grown and on their own. However, he’s grateful, as he is currently holding a great relationship with his sons, trying to rebuild a relationship with Audrey, and is beyond grateful for keeping his strong connection with Sydney, after all was out in the open.

## Relationships

### Maverick and Rose Littlewood

Luke has a deep respect for his father, loving him dearly and being thankful for everything he’s done to keep he, his brothers, and his sister safe from their mother’s awful actions. Luke is also thankful for his father’s blessing in marrying whoever he wanted, instead of his mother’s plan of an arranged marriage. Luke, however, has cut all contact with his mother, not speaking to her on any level and, after his father finally divorced her, has zero connections at all besides DNA. To this day, Luke would invite his father over just for time spent together, even if he lives on a different island now. Maverick always agrees, thankfully living on an island not too far away where a day trip is possible.

### Thomas, Gavin, Oliver, and Brooklyn

Luke loves all of his siblings, and would always be there to keep them safe if they needed him. He’s offered his traveler brothers, Gavin and Oliver, a place to stay if they needed it and even financial help if they were in trouble, and they would always tell them that they’d keep it in mind and he’d be the first they’d call. Thomas and Brooklyn, however, hold a slightly closer relationship, as they all live on All Boro still. Luke and Thomas have a strong brotherly love, both being the bodyguards for Brooklyn up until she got married herself (much to her mother’s dismay). Luke is a very supportive little brother, and a protective big brother, taking notes on parenting from Thomas for when his own children were born.

### Sophie Fitzgerald

Luke, in the start, was a bit off about Sophie, though it’s because he wasn’t really acquainted with her. But over time, the two became nearly inseparable. Luke fell in love over the course of their friendship, and was ecstatic to marry his best friend. Luke tends to be clingy to Sophie, loving her company and sometimes even loving the annoyed look she gives him when he is a bit *too* clingy. Either way, he loves her, and stands up for her when his mother would berate her for not being as ‘good’ as any of the other girls Rose wanted her son to marry.  Sophie admits to being a little jealous when someone brings up Julie, but Luke assures her that he’s a loyal goofball, and actually thanks Julie for being part of the reason they got together.

### Dylan and Jordan Littlewood

Luke isn’t sure why, but when Dylan was younger, he wanted nothing to do with him. He felt happier with his mom, holding no interest in his dad at all. Luke tried to include him in his life, but it never worked. Dylan just couldn’t care less up until about high school. The both of them don’t know why he was that way, Dylan expects it was some weird, phase, but feels horrible that he treated his dad that way. Of course, Luke being the kind soul that he is, tells him that he’ll never hold it against him. Jordan, on the other hand, was a major empath, loving quality time with both of his parents and feeling horrible when he’d spend time with one and felt as if the other was upset. It was a real problem when he was a kid, as he couldn’t get through his day normally, though he found a way to subside it around middle school, equally loving his time with his parents and siblings alike. Luke just was happy to spend time with him, and got along great with him.

### Audrey Littlewood

Audrey was the daughter that Luke and Sophie dreamed about having. She was the little girl that forced them to bawl like babies with tears of joy. Even in her earlier years, they tried so hard to not spoil her, wanting to be fair to all of their kids. Dylan and Jordan didn’t seem to mind. With that said, Luke was beyond happy to finally have his little girl. A happy, healthy family, his daughter has the two best bodyguard brothers in the world. With years passing, he noticed a personality change in her, something he didn’t like. She was more stubborn, rude, and arrogant. He didn’t think that he nor Sophie taught her that, trying to keep her humble. He didn’t realize until many, many years what happened. Luke doesn’t hate her, he still loves her and sees her as his little girl… but he’ll never forget what she did to her sister, never forget that he lost both of his girls because of the eldest’s jealousy and arrogance. He’s trying to rebuild a relationship, but it’s difficult for them both.

### Sydney Littlewood

Sydney was the fourth, final, and surprise baby to Luke’s family. While he wasn’t in the least bit prepared for a fourth, it didn’t stop him from crying tears of happiness when he found out that he was lucky enough to not only get the little girl he wanted, but to be blessed with two. His sons were happy as well, excited to have a new little sister to care for. Audrey wasn’t, but nobody caught on. Luke was the most involved, not because Sophie didn’t care, but because he would rarely leave Sydney’s side. She was daddy’s little girl, his best friend. The two held a strong bond…which changed not too long after she turned 4 due to Audrey’s abuse. Luke felt confused, unsure as to what he did to cause both of his girls to change. Maybe it was the same reason Dylan didn’t like him. He wondered if it was him, and that he did something wrong. He went years worrying and, when Sydney’s then-boyfriend, Matt talked her into speaking with her parents again about what happened, Luke couldn’t keep back the tears of guilt. Sydney was shocked at how broken her parents became after finding out what happened to her. To this day, Sydney spends as much time as she can with her parents, hoping they both know that she’s ok now, and hearing her say that she loves them makes Luke believe it.
