The boy from New Jersey
Summary
Characters

Bonnie Babineaux
Bonnie moved from France to England when she was nine and has been almost inseperable to Rachel ever since, until she meets Alicia.

Gerard Way
Gerard Way is the sixteen-going-on-seventeen year old who has just moved to Liverpool, England with his family from New Jersey. He's got a badass attitude towards life, however he has all the necessary gentleman qualities and hates it. He generally doesn't like large groups of people or confrontation but when it comes to the people he loves he'll draw blood if he needs to.
Mikey Way
Gerard's adorable little brother. At age ten Mikey is OBSESSED with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. He idolizes his older brother and naturally comes to see Rachel as a part of the family almost immediately.
Rachel Robinson
Rachel's from a broken home, she doesn't want to end up like the nobodies she's grown up with. She tends to 'freak out' in times of change, especially when the boy from New Jersey moves in across the street from her.
Ray Toro
Ray is the quiet and reserved one. He is an extremely loyal friend and does his best to help out others to the extent he could be a doormat if you wanted him to. He has a catchphrase, "I accept that."
