Secondary Character Saturday (3)

I've started a new weekly post here and I'd love for you to join me. Saturdays are now dedicated to honor the characters that don't always get their voices heard, who support (or work to destroy) our beloved protagonists. This is for the third wheel in the love triangle (can you have wheels on a triangle?), for the BFFs, the family members, or even just the kind and loving (or deceitful and creepy) stranger who shows up and changes the game. We all know these stories wouldn't hold up without support so I'd like to take the time to highlight the best secondary characters I come across. This is an opportunity to talk about what makes these characters special, maybe to speculate what their world would be like without them, or maybe cast them in their own primary roles. If you'd like to create a SCS post leave your link in the comments and I'll check it out!

This week I want to talk about:

Will from Anna Dressed in Blood

I just kept thinking through this whole book - what is going through this guy's mind? Seriously. He's your every day teenage jock. He's smart, has great potential, and he's loyal to his team - or his friends - no matter what. He's you're All-American (or actually, All-Canadian) golden boy. 

And then, this new guy comes into town, and suddenly he's chanting in witch circles and trying to kill ghosts. He was a really likeable person who started making bad decisions. But he had great motivation to make those bad choices. Seriously though, what was he thinking?
He seems relatively minor, but I think this whole story could just as easily been told from his perspective - with a few tweaks and obstacles of course - and been just as interesting.
I'm not going to say much more because I'm dangerously close to giving things away - but I just wanted to give this boy some props. He handles things pretty well, considering the situation he's thrown in to. I'm just very interested by his side of the story.
