Brick Thomas

Brick is one of The children introduced in The Fury.

Appearance
Brick is described as a tall and lanky eighteen year old boy. He has red hair and very pale skin that has a tendency to sunburn. Cal consistently refers to Brick as being "ugly." For the majority of the book, Brick is described wearing a white T-shirt, tattered jeans and a worn pair of sneakers.

Personality
Brick is a very callous and grating boy, with a known history of getting into conflicts and fights with other people. He has a tendency to both burn his bridges and run away from his problems, no matter how guilty he feels about it. He displays somewhat of a softer when it is coaxed out of him by Lisa or Daisy, and when he's set on it, he can be genuinely worried and concerned for other people's safety.

Background
Brick comes from childhood growing up with behavioural difficulties, of which has impacted every relationship he's had in his life. His mother had died when he was in nursery school, his brother had left home to join the army, and his father had remarried to another woman, and Brick cannot help but feel resentful towards all of them. His fondest memories of his childhood and of his father was the time they spent together at the then operating amusement park Fursville.
