Lucas Thomas

Lucas, a character in the It Lives In The Woods book, is the student body president of Westchester High. He is one of your character's love interests. He is first seen in Chapter 1.

Appearance
Lucas is described by Noah in Chapter 1, as being a tall man hitting over 6 ft. He is quite handsome in appearance. He is a slim man with broad shoulders. His facial features are very sharp, especially his cheekbone and jawline. He has tan skin, brown eyes and slick, gelled back brown hair. He is shown to have dimples when he smiles. He wears a pink button-up shirt underneath a brown sweater and a pair of glasses.

Personality
Lucas is helpful to the point of risking his own position, as shown when he showed your character the answer to Mr. Cooper's question. This resulted in him being scolded by Mr. Cooper after class.

Like his friends, he worries about many things, such as his extracurricular activities and the pressure of his responsibilities as Student Body President. He also feels conflicted by his aspiration to go into politics and his parents' desire for him to take different career paths, with his father wanting him to become a psychologist and his mother wanting him to become a doctor. The fact that they keep reminding him of what they had accomplished at his age puts him under further pressure. Due to the pressure from both parents, he resorted to taking Focus Pills but kicked his addiction in Chapter 6. The pills had side effects such as anxiety.

Ironically, giving speeches terrifies him despite his public speaking abilities and charisma.

If he survives the events, he will attend college, where he initially struggles with adjusting to life there but manages to calm himself down and receive encouragement from Professor Bhatt.
