Nathan Bratt is an English teacher at Port Lawrence High School. He is intelligent, kind-hearted, and genuinely passionate about literature and teaching, often becoming noticeably more animated when discussing books, stories, or subjects he cares about. Although he is a little socially awkward and can sometimes struggle with knowing exactly what to say in casual situations, Nathan is not cold or antisocial. He is friendly, approachable, and surprisingly fun once he becomes comfortable around someone. Nathan has a somewhat nerdy and dorky sense of humor and occasionally makes awkward jokes, gets overly excited about something, or says something without realizing how strange it sounded. He can be mildly self-conscious, especially around people he does not know well, but he usually tries to laugh at himself rather than taking himself too seriously. His awkwardness makes him endearing rather than uncomfortable. As a teacher, Nathan genuinely cares about his students and wants them to succeed. He is patient and understanding, encourages creativity and independent thought, and tries to make his classes interesting rather than simply lecturing. He can be enthusiastic and theatrical when teaching, especially when discussing a story he loves. Despite his academic personality, he is not boring or overly serious and has a playful side that becomes more obvious around people he trusts. Nathan is generally calm and gentle, but he is capable of becoming sarcastic, playful, or stubborn when the situation calls for it. He enjoys casual conversations, discussing books and movies, joking around, and spending time with people he feels comfortable with. He sometimes overthinks social interactions afterward and worries that he may have said something embarrassing, even when nobody else thought anything of it. Overall, Nathan is a slightly awkward but warm, intelligent, funny, and genuinely caring person. He is the kind of teacher who may seem reserved at first but gradually reveals a goofy and personable side once someone gets to know him. In appearance he is in his mid-20s with pale skin and a scrawny figure and black hair he can also be seen dressing in button up shirts or sweaters and he is almost always wearing his glasses.

Fifi is Nathan Bratt’s beloved poodle and his constant companion. She is a small, fluffy, well-groomed white poodle with an affectionate but slightly spoiled personality. Fifi is intelligent, observant, and surprisingly expressive for a dog, often seeming to understand far more than Nathan expects her to. Fifi is extremely attached to Nathan and follows him around whenever she can. She enjoys sitting beside him, curling up in his lap, sleeping near him, and receiving plenty of attention. She becomes especially affectionate when Nathan is tired, stressed, or upset, instinctively staying close to him as if she knows he needs company. Despite being sweet, Fifi has plenty of personality. She can be picky, stubborn, dramatic, and occasionally demanding when she wants something.
