{ Childhood/Family Life }
Brody's parents divorced when he was five years old, a year after his younger sister was born. There was no extreme reason for the divorce, only that his parents no longer felt the same spark that they had when they married seven years earlier. His parents remained friends throughout his upbringing and although he primarily resided with his mother, his father lived only a few blocks away and he spent almost just as much time with him.
{ High School Career }
Brody has always been very involved in his school. He is part of various clubs, including the debate team, SGA, SADD and peer tutoring. He was elected class president every year and is continuing this year as the senior class president.

{ Personality }
As expected for someone who is so interested in being involved in politics, Brody is a leader. He's proactive and is always looking to make positive change in his school and that flows into his social life as well. He has a reputation for being the nice guy: the person who always tries to mend broken friendships, look out for his friends and stick up for those who he feels are too weak to do it themselves. He is always willing to listen to people's problems and concerns and genuinely does try to do everything in his power to help them. While his strong leadership skills have helped him develop a personable and approachable image, his desire for power is sometimes too strong. This is usually only shown in actual political settings, such as debates or his school campaigns, but there are times when it's obvious that Brody won't back down from an argument if he feels he's right, no matter how petty it is. He can sometimes be a know-it-all or seem like he's trying to assert his knowledge over others to embarrass them or prove them wrong.
Brody has an image of being a goody two-shoes and in some way, it's accurate. He likes to follow the rules and prefers to stay out of trouble or anything that he knows to be illegal, such as alcohol or drugs. He has nothing against people who drink alcohol since he knows that it's a common pastime for teenagers, legal or not, but he personally sees no need to do it himself unless it's drinking a glass of his father's wine at a dinner party or event. The idea of being incoherent, obnoxious, and out of control isn't appealing to him and if it could get him in trouble, what's the point? While he's tolerant of being around people who are drinking, Brody doesn't want any association with people who deal or are using illegal drugs. It's an unforgivable offense and he doesn't pity people who use them because he feels like they're knowingly ruining and putting their life on the line. Some people interpret his cautiousness and dislike for rule breaking as him being uptight, but he prefers to see it as just being responsible.
Overall, he's a kind person who does things with good intentions but his desire to do right doesn't always make him the most popular guy around, especially when his friends are partaking in activities that go against his own values.
{ Greatest joys in life }
Power: Brody enjoys having power because he feels like he's the most capable person to make positive changes in his school and community. He hopes to continue to advance in national politics after graduating college.
Money: Although Brody likes to think that having good and helpful ideas will make him well liked, he knows that in this world money is power and money is success.
Athletics: Brody doesn't play on any sports teams at Saint Jude's but he does box a lot at his gym and is constantly out jogging or working out.
{ Greatest fears }
Pit Bulls: Brody has no problem with other dogs, but his uncle was mauled by a pit bull when he was a child and lost his right ear and three fingers in the attack. Brody recognizes the arguments that all dogs act differently but after hearing about the attack, that breed of dog have freaked him out.
Disappointing people: A lot of young men fear disappointing their father and Brody falls into this category as well, but his fear of disappointing people goes beyond just his father. As someone who wants to go into politics and represent his community, and hopefully one day his country, he dislikes knowing that even if he does right by some people, he's always going to be disappointing someone.
His sister being harmed: The trivial drama that his sister gets involved in with her little friends isn't what he worries about. He frequently watches the news and always hears about teenage girls being drugged, raped, kidnapped and murdered. Although he knows that the media likes to focus on extreme events, it would be his biggest nightmare to ever have to deal with his sister going through a situation like that.
{ Life philosophy }
Brody strives to always do what is right. He knows that this isn't always possible because everyone has a different definition of right, but he tries. Although he does honestly make his best effort to be kind to everyone, there's always someone who has something to say about you, no matter how nice you are, so Brody tries to focus on staying out of drama and not feeding into people's negativity.

{ Parents }
David Wade
David is Brody's forty-four year old father. He owns Wade Family Wines, one of the largest wine-distributing companies in The United States, which was passed down to him by his late father. The company owns 30 vineyards, including over 27,000 acres in California, that sell more than 6 million cases of wine a year and has given David a net worth of over one billion dollars.
Brody has always been close with his father and looks up to him as a mentor and role model. There has always been pressure from David for Brody to do well and he grew up under the idea that because he was his father's only son, he had to make him proud. This is probably one of the major reasons for why Brody is such a perfectionist. While their relationship is generally good, David wants Brody to go to study business in college so he can pass the wine company on to him one day, but Brody insists on studying politics. It's something that they have recently been clashing about and Brody knows that as the time to apply to colleges approach, it's going to become more of an issue.
Stephanie Collins
Stephanie worked as a nurse before marrying David. Once they married, she stopped working a founded a charity, "Colorful Lives Children Foundation", to support art programs in children's hospitals around the country. Because she received a large sum of money in her divorce settlement, she has no need to return to work and runs the charity as a full time job. Stephanie and Brody also have a positive relationship, with a few problems here and there. One of the major topics of their occasional quarrels would be the men Stephanie dates. None of them are particularly horrible, but Brody has never been able to adjust to the idea of another man living in his mother's home.
{ Siblings }
Eloise "Ella" Wade
Ella is Brody's thirteen-year-old sister and only sibling. She's in eighth grade, which he's glad about because it means that he'll never have to deal with her attending Constance while he's at Saint Jude's. It's not that he has a problem with her because the two are actually quite close, but he couldn't stand to imagine her growing up and associating with all of the snobby girls at Constance, even though he's friends with many of them himself. Brody likes to pick on Ella and tease her but when it comes down to it, he's a typical overprotective older brother who always looks out for her.
