《 I Can't Breathe Without You 》

♡ Our People ♡

Eleanor Hooper, She was adopted at the age of 4. Her adoptive father being Jim Hopper, chief of police. He had lost his daughter a few years prior and his wife left him. He answered a police page from Child Protective Services, finding a little 4 year old being in poor care of a very well known doctor. Dr. Brenner. He had found Eleanor shaking in a corner having not ate for a few days while Brenner was at work.

Eleanor didn't remeber much. But she remembered Hopper saving her from a cruel home life. She was happy with him. Growing up with him as her dad made her extremely happy. Yes he a bit over protective, but she had a good life.

Eleanor was a considered a bit out of her mind. She danced to the beat of her own drum. Lived life with no regrets. People looked up to her confidence. So, here she is, Seventeen, Beautiful, Confident, Popular, Smart, and just Humble. She was always the topic of Hawkins High, always in a good light.

Growing up it was always just her and Hopper. She tried to convince him to go out and meet new people but he always said he was too busy with work and her. That left Eleanor home a lone a lot. She did have friends, she was popular so of course she did. Her best friend being Jennifer Hayes.

She didn't really date. She went on dates but never dated the same boy in a relationship. She put up walls, a lot. To keep herself protected. She had a hard time trusting herself after the stuff she went through.

She loves everyone. She's never mean to anyone. But she's seen as popular and most people just assume she's a mean and stuck up girl, mostly with the chief of police being her dad.

Michael Wheeler, 18.  Son of Karen and Ted Wheeler. Not the best home life, a lot of fighting, his dad's never there, he's a middle sibling. But he loves them with his whole heart 

Micheal Wheeler was a quiet kid. A big old science nerd by heart. President of the A/V club. Straight As in every class. Bullied. A LOT. Was he the best looking in his school? HELL NO. He hated the way he looked. He was tall yes. Probably one of the tallest boys in school, but he was lanky. Skinny. No muscles. Sharp cheekbones. His hair was a mess  jet black long and in his face a lot. He was awkward.

Growing up he always had the same group of friend. Will, Lucas and Dustin. After a few years Max joined thier group. They were all at the bottom of the social pole in school. But Mike didn't care, he liked the routine.

Micheal didn't date. Did he find girls pretty? Yes. But he didn't trust anyone. Girls in his life were mean. They always made fun of him. Calling him werid looking, too nerdy, not into sports. Some even thought he was gay. Micheal didn't care for the female race.

Micheal was a nice guy, but he kept to himself a lot of the time. He didn't put himself out there, he stayed quiet and out of the light.

William Byers, 17, son of Joyce Byers. Brother of Jonathan Byers who had moved out a few years ago. After that it was just him and his mom. His father was a dead beat dad that never wanted him. But his mom is all he needed, and he was happy with that.

Will was a simple kid. Quiet, berdy, and obsessed with the arts. He loved drawing, painting, all that. He spent most his free time playing D&D with his party.

He along with Mike was bullied a lot, but he never took it as personal as he did.

Will tried to give everyone a chance. He's the reason Mike finally accepted Max into the group after Mike disagreed for months. He liked to stay friendly and give everyone a warm smile.

Mike was Wills best friend. Those two were the original two members of the party. But little did they know everything was about to change.

Jim Hopper.

Joyce Byers.

Two single parents in a small town. They had history, they went to high school together back in the day and ran in the same social circle.

Lonnie and Joyce divorced when Will was still in elementary school. He left her with two children and never came back.

It was this day, that changed. Jim Hopper had ran into Joyce while he was called into her shop for a supposed theft. He muscled up the courage and asked her out to dinner to catch up. So here he was waiting at Benny's dinner when she walked in. As beautiful as he thought was was in high school.

"Hi" Joyce barley whispered smiling softly.

"Hey" Hopper smiled brightly.

and that's how the story re-began. Hopper and Joyce, together again ♡
