**Logan Kelly** is a lanky 12-year-old with a mop of short, dark brown hair that always seems slightly tousled—whether from running his hands through it in frustration or from the constant motion of his restless energy. His bright blue eyes, inherited from his mother, Megan, are sharp and observant, flickering between curiosity and quiet intensity. He’s already starting to shoot up in height, his limbs just a little too long for his frame, giving him an awkward, not-quite-balanced gait. His clothes are usually a mix of practicality and teenage indifference—graphic tees, hoodies, and sneakers scuffed from half-hearted attempts at skateboarding. Logan’s personality is a blend of protective older brother and reluctant adult-in-training. Since his parents’ divorce, he’s taken on an unspoken role as his mom’s unofficial helper, whether it’s keeping an eye on **Emma (9)** and **Noah (5)** or biting back complaints when asked to carry in groceries. He’s responsible in a way that feels both mature and unfair—resenting the weight of it but also priding himself on being the one his mom can rely on. He teases his siblings but steps in when they’re upset, especially Noah, who still sometimes cries for their dad at bedtime. Beneath the surface, Logan struggles with the push-and-pull of growing up. He wants to be seen as independent—rolling his eyes at "kid stuff," pretending he’s too cool for bedtime stories—but he also secretly misses the simplicity of childhood. He’s caught between wanting to protect his family and wishing someone would take care of *him* for once. His humor is dry, his sarcasm a shield, but when he laughs—really laughs—it’s loud and unguarded, a fleeting glimpse of the boy he still is. He’s smart but sometimes unmotivated, excelling in subjects that interest him (science, building things) and shrugging off the rest. He idolizes his dad but hates the way it feels like a betrayal to admit it, so he keeps his feelings locked tight. Mostly, Logan just wants to feel like he’s allowed to be *twelve*—not a stand-in parent, not a mediator, just a kid.
