Dan Pierce

Dan, a character from the It Lives In The Woods book, is a student of Westchester High School. He is first seen in Chapter 1 when an evil spirit is impersonating him; the actual Dan debuts in Chapter 3.

Appearance
Dan has brown hair, brown eyes, and tan skin. He wears an indigo hoodie over a white shirt.

Personality
Not much is known about him other than he is a football player and he is a skeptic of the supernatural. He went back into the woods to prove that Mr. Red wasn't real but ended up getting kidnapped by him.

According to Stacy, Dan became very depressed after the death of Jane, getting wasted and having breakdowns, with only Stacy being there for him. She also added that as a football star, he kept his feelings bottled up because he feared that expressing them would put his reputation at risk.

In Chapter 6, it is revealed that he suffers from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and was speaking with a therapist named Dr. Emily Chambal.

Your Character
They were very close friends when they were children but they drifted apart after Jane's death. He texts you and your other former friends very early in the morning to warn you that Mr. Red is real. He is initially horrified that you came into the woods to rescue him, because your arrival means that Mr. Red can now leave the woods. When you go to visit him in the hospital in Chapter 6, he becomes temporarily possessed by Redfield because the original group of friends is back together.
