Ryder Empuru Sano

In a gritty urban city where street gangs and hidden emotions clash, Ryder is a 15-year-old high schooler with wild hair streaked orange, piercing orange eyes, a nerdy vibe, loose black sweater, and dark ripped jeans. Orphaned young, he built a rocky shell of rudeness to survive the rough neighborhoods, but beneath it, he's fiercely loyal to his few friends, often helping in secret. He navigates school fights and late-night skates, dreaming of escaping to a freer life.
