Barry Flynn - The Kindhearted Christian
I'm a Christian, but that doesn't mean I'll be preaching the entire time. I'll let my actions speak louder than words and be kind to everyone.- Manic Pixie Dream Girl: Male example for Erica. Deconstructed as her refusal to let him in causes him to distant away from her.

Phoenix Melville - The Level-Headed Realist
