Rupert is a misguided, inventive, late-teen, wannabe punk rocker. His dad is constantly criticising him. Rupert is a little rough around the edges but once you get to know him, he’s actually innocent, vulnerable and sweet. He’s not used to being accepted or listened to. He’s been the odd, weird kid his whole life. He doesn’t have a good home life, and as a result he often goes to the junkyard. He dropped out of high school because everyone bullied him for being different. He has a punk haircut.
