Credit to Steven king for the characters!!! 🫶🏽 :

Richie moved to Derry in 8th grade after events in his hometown broke his family into fragments. His parents take extra shifts at work to avoid conversation with their son.

Eddie doesn't like Richie at first. Richie is tall and slim dark hair and eyes, and looks to be on drugs. Yay. Everything that Eddie avoids in life. But Richie's personality has Eddie like a magnet.

Bev met Richie in eighth grade after he was beat up by Bowers and his goons. She remembers it like it was yesterday. She's like a sister to Richie and is always by his side. Most think they're dating despite the rumors about Richie.

Bill liked the way Beverly looked since fifth grade. He thought she was really pretty. Short curly hair, green eyes, perfectly pink lips. He thought he was in love with this girl. So his current friends make some few new friends.

Stan is in love with Bill. And he can admit that...to Eddie. Eddie knows, and he's always been super supportive. Derry doesn't like Queer people. Stan isn't out, but he'd still do anything for his close friends...well...crush.

Ben is on the football team. He's shy, but he's been friends with Bev since freshman year. She'd come up to him and spoke to him in one of their shared classes one day. Since then he's had a massive crush on her.

Mike doesn't talk much. He's quiet and un confrontational, but he'd Fuck someone up if they hurt Ben. Ben is like a younger brother to him even though they are the same age, and he may not be mean, but for Ben, he can be.
