The Tearaway Kid is a Lost that was freed by Avery and Verona.

Personality

An infiltrator he was perfetly fine with hurting people.<ref>“Well, I hereby refer you to Hugh Legendre.  You can go to him, you say you were in a place you thought about buying.  You saw a small humanoid thing and you were very confused.  The name Hugh Legendre came up.”

The Tearaway Client smiled ear to ear.

“Is that enough?” Avery asked.  “That’s thin.”

“I work with thin,” the Tearaway Kid said.  “How badly can I hurt them?”

“Until you figure out they’re up to no good?  Not at all.”

“Kidnapping?  I can leave one bound and gagged in a closet.  Once I have a good look at them, I can make a good costume.”

“You’ll want to be careful of a man named Florin Pesch.  He watches out for body thieves, dopplegangers, parasites, and I guess disguise artists like you.”

“There aren’t many like me.  I’m good at what I do.  Let me go, I’ll get back to you.” - Excerpt from Playing a Part 15.5</ref> He isn't the best at explenations.<ref>“Red ribbons?” Liberty asked, in an aside to Avery.

“I think it’s one of the little omens you get as a tiny boon for walking a certain Path.  Can you see them?”

“Yeah.”

“Might be because enough of us here have walked the Forest Ribbon Trail.  But yeah.  It’s too easy to grab onto them anyway,” Avery said.

“It’s common sense,” the Tearaway Kid chimed in, his voice a croak.

“Can you think of other common sense things you see?” Avery asked.

“How am I supposed to do that?” he groused  “It’s common sense.  It’s like me asking what’s common sense in your world.  The sky is blue, grass is green, falling is down.”
[...]
“Probably don’t fly through or past them either.”

“Of course you don’t fly through or past them,” the Tearaway Kid grumped. - Excerpt from Left in the Dust 16.3</ref>

Relationships

Edeline

He seduced Edeline with a very large bird with a city on her back that was bound around the same time as he was, their romance was such that he never got her name.<ref>“Girl with a big bird?”

“Massive bird.  Small city on its back.  I had to dress up to romance her,” the Tearaway Kid said, patting the paper toga he was wearing.”
[...]
“Okay,” Avery said.  “That girl, her name is Bird Rider?”

“I don’t know her name.”

Verona groaned.  “Dude, come on.  I’m not an expert in anything relationships wise, but seriously?  Not even her name?”

“She had a bird with a city on its back, I was dressed up as a being of infinite glory, we flew together for a long time.  She gave me a kiss on the nose.  What use words?”

“At least knowing her name!?” Verona exclaimed.

“It didn’t come up!” - Excerpt from Playing a Part 15.5</ref> His work with Avery was contingent on finding and eventually freeing her.

Kennet Trio

mainly interactes with Avery and Verona, while initially distrustful he was great full for what they've done for him and his girlfriend.

Wonderkand

Wants nothing to do with them.<ref> She wished she could call in an airstrike from the Tearaway Kid and his girlfriend, but he’d said no.  If he got bound by Wunderkand, that was it for him. - [ Excerpt] from Let Loose 20.2</ref> </ref>

Appearance

He's squat and misshapen, with an overly round head and eyes that are too spaced apart, a wide mouth and dense even hair that sticks out.<ref>He was too squat, head too round, eyes spaced far apart, mouth too wide, with dense hair sticking up every which way, cut to even lengths, in a way that made it look more like he had fur instead of hair atop his head.  With seasons changing and a new coat growing in.  Head, shoulders, hips, and waist were all about the same breadth across.

He looked like a bad drawing of a child that had been brought to life and then converted into reality, the details made as much like the drawing as they could be while still being human.  He wore a toga-like tunic made of paper over white long underwear, sandals with torn paper straps, fake cardboard wings and a coathanger halo with sticks glued to it.- Excerpt from Playing a Part 15.5</ref>

Abilities

He is capable of changing his appearance or form using common art supplies such as cardboard, glue and crayons which he needs to be supplied with.<ref>“Okay,” the Tearaway Kid said, drawing a tie on the paper.  “Glue, paper, tape?”

...

The Tearaway Kid smiled ear to ear as he saw the things.  He worked with the paper on the ground, on hands and knees, scribbling and drawing, picking up pencil crayons and markers.  He left a lot uncapped in his hurry, and Verona started re-capping them, just a bit annoyed. - Excerpt from Playing a Part 15.5</ref> He

He's seen using this ability to change into an angel,<ref>It distorted again, and it was the Tearaway Kid, magnified to infinity, surrounded by blazing wheels with wings at the rim, eyes staring outward.  Larger than galaxies yet somehow present, contained within this room, a doorway to everything, he fumbled around at the back of his head.

The image cut out.  The Tearaway Kid threw his coat hanger halo to the floor, to join the wings and the toga. - Excerpt from Playing a Part 15.5</ref> an adult man, an adult woman,<ref name="eat">Avery, still keeping an eye out the window, saw a woman leave the building.
[...]
“I’m good at what I do,” the woman told Avery, walking up.  She had slightly messy hair and serious makeup, and the look of someone who’d dressed up but who hadn’t been used to dressing up.  A fancy necklace and ring joined a wedding ring on her finger, that looked like wide braids of gold.
[...]
“No, I don’t eat.”

“Ah.”

“Thank you for offering.  What’s this?”

“It’s a live map of the connections I saw active.  Our quarry’s ties to key people around him, the visible ones- people or things he was thinking about or ones core to him.  Same for the justice of the peace.”

The woman looked around, then hooked a finger at her collar.  She tore her dress, and there was a sound like tearing paper.

The Tearaway kid shucked off the guise of being a woman and folded the paper, before tucking it into the ‘v’ of the not-quite-pristine long johns he wore.

“It’s interesting,” he croaked.  “I like it.”

“Because it’s paper?”

“That helps.”

“Did you get anything?”

“Yeah.  I played the role of someone upset her wonderful, wonderful girl was taken in a custody issue.  No straight answers, very emotional, very hard to deal with.  They pushed me off onto a new employee.  Didn’t know what he was doing, he had to go ask for help a few times, and he left once because I was so irritating to be around.  Every time he left, I topped off my coffee, listened in.  Had my ear to the vent in the corner of the office at one point.” - Excerpt from Left in the Dust 16.2</ref> a child, a bird,<ref>A smaller goblin with huge batlike ears that draped down to drag on the ground pointed skyward.  A bird was circling.

Avery looked, and then waved.

The bird descended.  It looked around.
[...]
The bird tore away the paper.  “I’m early.”

“That’s fine.  My other friend left early.  We might get interrupted.”

“I’ll prepare something in case,” he said.

Avery leaned over, offering a blanket, and he shook his head, patting the torn paper with feathers randomly drawn on it.  He pulled out more paper and began drawing on it. - Excerpt from Left in the Dust 16.3</ref> and even a dragon.^{[citation needed]}

He can also share his costumes with other people but they rarely wear them as well as he does.<ref>“Wait,” Avery said. “Wait wait wait. You can share your costumes?”

“Sure! Most people don’t wear theirs as well as I wear mine, but here, wait, let me wear this one, father of Avery, I sized it more for me. And I’ll just copy what I did with minor adjustments…”- Excerpt from Crossed with Silver 19.3</ref>

Apparently he doesn't need to eat.<ref name="eat" />
