Tycho

Tycho Potter is one of the central characters of this story. Introverted and intellectual, Tycho is the youngest of three children. To his parents and siblings, Tycho is a bookish, unworldly boy for whom the world is merely a defined set of rules and indisputable truths. In a sense, his family has pushed Tycho aside emotionally.

Tycho undergoes many dramatic personal changes by the end of the novel. Among these is the loss of his virginity, a moment made even more significant by the fact that the moment was shared with Angela, a girl with whom he has had a crush on for as long as he can remember. In that moment, Tycho becomes more confident and more drawn out of his shell than he has ever been.

The day after that momentous night with Angela, Tycho becomes a different person, more fully alive
