Newt was generally kinder than many other Gladers, though he could still be rough when he had to keep order. He always tried to look out for his friends and seemed the most upset by the deaths during The Scorch Trials. Newt had a strong accent (either English or Scottish, according to Dashner) and frequently used British curses, most notably "bloody". rather tall and muscular with blond hair that came down over his shoulders and a square jaw. He had a limp from his attempted suicide.
