Individual Character - Wes

1. Newt: Newt is the leader's assistant in the glade, and is a senior member. He gets along with Thomas from the start, and in tough times, relies on him as a friend.

2. Physical appearance: Newt is a tall 16-17 year old guy. He is described as having blond hair and a square jaw, and is in good physical condition like most of the gladers. He walks with a limp due to an unexplained accident in the maze.

Mental makeup: Newt is generally mature, allowing him to be a good leader. He is always trying to figure things out and get to the bottom of it all, like why Thomas is so special, and how to get out of the maze. Newt is reliable and doesn't give up easily.

Social: Newt is generally nice to the other Gladers, and in turn he is respected by them. He is not very close to many, but trusts his circle of friends. He can be mean to those who have identified themselves as enemies, such as Gally.

3. How he relates to me: I generally try to stay mature in situations where it is required, and i am reliable with making sure that what needs to happen gets done. I try to be nice to the people around me, but I'm only really close to a few people.

Paragraph for picture: My picture shows Newt in the Glade. He is staring at the doors of the maze in deep thought, as if he is trying to figure out the puzzle within. I feel that this characterizes Newt in the way that I think of him as, a problem solver. I am like him in this way, and I feel that the picture captures this trait.
