Eric Renard

Eric Renard thinks and feels deeply. He's easily hurt. Eric keeps to himself much of the time; he feels the lack of closeness and companionship. He does have friends, and a sense of humor, but they leave him unsatisfied because the most important parts of his personality get hidden that way. He feels the sting of being "different" a lot more acutely (and chronically) than the rest of his family seems to. Eric knows a great deal about a lot of things, because he has broad interests and reads a lot about them. As a result, the ignorance of humanity in general irritates him no end. So do his teachers, his classmates at school, and his family.

Eric feels that there is no place for him in this world and that he is unwanted. The fact that many people really do like him means little to him. He thinks that the efforts he makes to do something special, and worth doing, mean nothing to others. Someday, though he does not know it, he will find the task in life that he was always meant to do.
