Patrick (12-16 Years Old) Smart-mouthed, Intelligent Instigator
Patrick and his sister Madeline came to the Arcadia Institute after the murder of their father. Patrick is amused by the doctor's attempts to diagnose him and often acts out in ways he knows will throw off their findings. But when he gets paired with Dr. Bander, he calms down a bit when he realizes that 'Doc' won't put up with his crap. Much as he denies it, Patrick is extremely empathetic to other patients including his sister and Alice, who he calls 'Rabbit' since she wouldn't speak when they first met.
--Relationships--
With Madeline- Patrick will and has done anything for his sister. He knows she can't be cured, but that doesn't stop him from caring about her. Even when he's released from Arcadia, Patrick comes back to visit as often as possible.
With Alice- Patrick is very curious about the Rabbit. To him Alice represents a version of his sister who can possibly be helped, be cured and go on to be 'normal'. He's very protective of Alice and that extends to the times he's got to keep watch on her when she's with his sister. After she starts talking, Alice is one of the few people who can put Patrick in his place even though she's much younger.
