Joanna's brother, imaginative and questions everything. He often feels powerless because he's the youngest and the smallest in the group. (Range: G2-Eb4)
A doubter, sometimes a tad cocky to cover his insecurity, parents are divorced. His prized possession is a baseball cap covered with a variety of pins from special places, which he wears at all times. (Range: G2-A4)
