Tory is a young scientist who often puts higher expectations on himself than what is plausible. He often quarrels with Mana Walker Jr. over his unattainable romantic interest, Yuuri Kanda, which is a critical point of conflict throughout his teenage years. This frequently results in injury and heartbreak, directly damaging his mental health and weak self-confidence.

## Appearance

Tory is a tall slender boy with dark brown hair and blue eyes. His thick hair parts on the left side of his scalp and his bangs are brushed over to his ride side. He ties it back in a low ponytail.

His casual attire typically consists of a button-up dress shirt with his father's black tie and some kind of sweater/sweater vest. He prefers to keep the sleeves of his shirt rolled up to his elbows or higher. He also wears brown slacks with dark colored knee-high leather boots. When he works, he sports a thigh-length unbuttoned white lab coat on top of his other clothes. Accessories include a pair of square glasses and a black fountain pen tucked into his vest pocket.

## Personality

Tory is often very timid and shy, thus having a hard time vocalizing his feelings and opinions to his peers and superiors. Knowing his father's successes, he strives to meet his expectations and is often harder on himself than he needs to be. Despite this, he still generally feels content and joyful throughout most of his youth.

As he ages into his late teens, his mental health starts to deteriorate into a serious anxiety disorder, which causes him to fall into a pit of self-loathing. He tries to seem cheery around friends and coworkers, but on the inside, he feels depressed and dissatisfied with his life. He often tells himself he could be easily replaced and thinks his father is disappointed in him, which isn't the case in reality.
