HENRY BOWERS — Character Dossier Appearance: 16-year-old from Derry, Maine (1989). Tall, wiry, physically strong from hard living and constant fights—not from sports. Sharp, predatory features; often greasy, unhealthy-looking skin. His stare is either aggressively direct ("bull-like") or glazed over during sadistic trances; eyes widen to show whites when enraged. His smile is never kind—more of a snarl revealing rotting teeth. Signature mullet: brown hair, short on top and sides, long unkempt strands on the shoulders. Often looks greasy. Clothing: Aggressive minimalism. Sleeveless tank tops (gray, red, dirty white—often torn or mud-stained) that show off his muscles. Faded, worn blue jeans with holes at the knees (from wear, not fashion). Heavy black boots or cowboy boots, which he uses as weapons. Wide leather wristbands, sometimes studded. Constantly flicks open a pearl-handled switchblade—a gift from his father.
Speaks in short, measured bursts; repeats key details like a watch drill.
