History Characters / DeadOfSummer

* CampGay: Blair's openly gay. He's also pretty effiminate, with vocal fry and stereotypical mannerisms, but doesn't care what anyone thinks of this.

* YouKilledMyFather: [[spoiler:He shoots Heelan dead]] after discovering he was the cult leader known as "The Teacher", and the one who killed his father.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: [[spoiler: He shoots Heelan dead.]] After discovering he was the cult leader known as "The Teacher", and the one who killed his father.

* OldFriendNewGender: It turns out that Blair and Drew were friends at camp before when they both attended. However, as Drew was then still presenting as a girl with his deadname Andrea as his mom insisted, Blair didn't recognize him later after they met again and began a romance.

* TransTribulations: Drew had gender dysphoria from a very young age, telling his mom how he was really a boy at around six at most. His mom told him he was just being silly at first, refusing to accept his statements, including that his new name was Drew after the psychologist who they saw supported this. Drew being outed accidentally to Jessie results in her mocking, deadnaming and attempting to blackmail him. Thankfully, he has blackmail material on Jessie too. When the boy he likes, Blair, learns his secret, he rejects Drew at first. Later though both accept Drew. While it seemed his mom accepted him too, this was tragically averted as though she acknowledged he's a boy, his mom couldn't reconcile the fact he wasn't her daughter. At camp he also hallucinates himself as a child taunting him that Drew can't hide his true self.
