a surly 15-year-old who takes teenage introversion to new heights. An ardent believer in the philosophy of Fredrick Nietzsche, Dwyane has taken a vow of silence until he achieves his dream of becoming a test pilot for the Air Force. He also claims to hate everyone. Dwayne just wants his family to leave him alone and he never speaks, instead communicating with nods, shrugs, and a notepad. He is also colourblind, as he’s just found out. No reason to keep his vow of silence now.
