Henry K. Larsen
The main character of this story, he is the author and the “narrator” of this journal. Henry talks about his life and how he feels about “IT”. Henry is a 13 year old boy who moves from Picton Ontario to Vancouver BC because of his past in his old town. He becomes affected from his past and now has to stay “under the radar” with his father in their new neighborhood. He is known to have PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) so he sees a psychiatrist every now and then to help him forget about his past. Henry is known to be a “chubby kid” so he is also often picked on. He then meets people who accept him for who he is, and Henry soon learns to trust them throughout the book. He also wants his parents to get back together, and live happy and peacefully again, despite their bitter past.
Jesse Larsen
Henry’s older brother who relentlessly took his own life, because he was brutally bullied until he committed suicide. He took his fathers rifle and shot Scott, and himself at his own high school. Jesse was also known as the “weak” one at his school and he was always picked on. His last words were "Sorry "and "I love you."
Mr. / Mrs. Larsen
They are both the parents of Henry and Jesse Larsen. Ever since their eldest son committed suicide they have been coming across challenges and obstacles as a couple. They then thought that the past was too painful for them so Mr. Larsen thought to move to Vancouver leaving Ms Larsen in Ontario so she could go through therapy. They also needed their space as a couple because they were blaming each other for their child’s death. One thing all the Larsens love is the GWF.
