-- PERSONALITY !

-- PASSIONATE: In order to chase after dreams that his high school counsellors are in twists over, a guy has to be passionate about what he's doing. Music is, quite simply, his life. Listening to it, making it, he lives for the tunes. When he does something, he does it whole-heartedly, as if it's the most important thing he could possibly be doing. When he sets his mind to something he makes it a point to achieve his goal, no matter the obstacles. Passion for him is energy and he's energetic, so much so that sometimes his body can't quite keep up with his over active brain. He lives life with an amazing amount of zeal, he takes great pleasure in the simpler things in life. He's convinced every idea can be a good one if he works hard enough at it and working hard is what he does best.
-- AWKWARD: Thatcher is, sadly, a bit awkward and amazingly clumsy at times. He trips over things, bumps into things, gets lost even when he has a map, and is completely hopeless at remembering where he puts his things. In addition to being physically inept, he tends to get a bit nervous or shy when around people he's not extremely close with. Either he rambles, unable to really get to the point he wants to make, or he butchers the English language entirely and reverts to incoherent vowel sounds. While physically and verbally clumsy, Thatcher expresses himself best through music, lyrics, and action. Given the time and concentration needed to say what he needs to say, he can be clear and eloquent. Though he's technically an adult now, Thatcher has yet to really grow up. He still hangs around his mother, he still watches cartoons and eats Lucky Charms cereal, and sleeps in pajama bottoms with funny pictures on them. He's awkwardly hovering between being a boy and a man.
-- CARING: Thatcher is an extremely thoughtful boy, perhaps too thoughtful. He truly cares about the feelings of others and is therefore easily strung along or taken advantage of. If someone asks him to do something for them, he finds it hard to say no. He's not a walking cavity, but he is the type of boy who tries to comfort people if he sees them upset. He would not hesitate to lend his shoulder or ear to someone who needs it, but often he neglects himself while trying to help others. Other people find it easy to forget about him as well because he never seems to ask people to help him or listen to him in return for what he does for them.

-- LOVES: music, writing, sleeping, eating (x400), the beach, full moon nights, old video games, movies, mystery novels, dogs, pillows and big blankets, singing, sunny weather, hugs, band practice, his family
-- HATES: bugs, driving on crowded streets, reality television, the smell of cigarette smoke, seafood (allergic), tight pants, mean girls, early mornings, scary movies, math, most networking websites, jerks, being lied to

-- HISTORY !

Music was always in Thatcher Jones' blood because his father was a musician, his grandfather was a musician, even his great grandmother was a singer. Catherine Bray had the misfortune of falling hard for the wannabe rock star Paul Daniels, a man who was so driven by his music that he did not have time for anything else in his life. When Catherine told him she was pregnant, he had the decency to stick around for a year before he took off and left her and her baby. Unable to really support herself and her infant son, Thatcher, Catherine had to move into a cheap, run-down apartment and take two part time jobs just to keep some food on the table. It was only by chance that her son, clumsy even at the age of five, spilled milk on a man in a nice suit while she was waitressing at a cheap diner in Los Angeles that night.

Ugly pink uniform aside, Danny Jones had never seen a more amazing woman in his life. He would thank God every day for the next seven months that her little boy spilled milk on his finest pair of pants. Despite having only stopped there to eat out of necessity, Danny found himself showing up every week...then every other day, always to see her and her son. After realizing that he'd dragged a three week business trip into seven months just to be with Catherine and Thatcher, he realized that he was in love with the both of them. At first Catherine refused the engagement ring, not wanting Thatcher to lose another man in his life...but when her son called him 'Daddy' instead of 'Danny', she gave in.

Danny took both of them away from the dank little place they were living in and brought them across the country to Capeside, a beautiful little town in Massachusetts. Settling in was harder for Catherine than it was for Thatcher, who took to the environment as naturally as a fish to water. Eventually Thatcher's mother got pregnant again and that seemed to cement their life there. Everything in their lives was going smoothly until Thatcher began expressing his interest in music. His poor mother tried to discourage him from it, not wanting him to turn into the same kind of man that his biological father was. Even after all those years she was furious with him and refused to even tell her son anything about him. As Thatcher got older, his interest in music only grew to his mother's dismay. His step-father, however, was amazingly supportive of his musical talents and tried to nurture it in any way possible.

Junior high was pleasant, if not awkward, for Thatcher. While there was a certain amount of humiliation due to his clumsy nature and his atrocious math skills, he was able to find friends and a certain niche in the school band. He began writing his own songs in high school and now a senior at Capeside High he’s seriously considering the path of being a composer. When it comes to girls, Thatch is not unpopular with his boyish grin and sweet nature, but there’s really ever only been one girl in his heart…not that she's ever realized it.
