Character Prompt: Chronicles of Vladimer Todd

So while I was reading this... amazing book about vampires and vampire hunters and all that, I was thinking about how the story was like a less dramatic version of Twilight. Now I know that I was some-what criticizing the plot of this book, but I really don't have anything against the Twilight series unlike most people. But instead of comparing the main character, Vladimer to a character from Twilight, Vladimer reminded me a little of Greg from Diary of a Wimpy Kid. To be completely honest, Vladimer sounds a lot like a very boring and depressing kid will little to no life. He doesn't ahve very good luck with girls, nor does he have the luck of avoiding... persay... things that would like to be avoided. Greg has one of the most depressing lives I have seen (not including those book or movies which talk about homelessnes or other stuff) for someone of his standing. I could say the same things for Vladimer. His parents died, his best friend is super popular and always gets the girls, he can't seem to get a girlfriend, he gets bullied around, and he's kind of an introverted person. I can relate this introvered Vladimer to one of my best friends, whom I will keep her name hidden. No, she does not get bullied at school (or I at least hope not) and no she is not having trouble finding a significant other (not that she is trying). She's just the quiet type in a room full of strangers or with people she's not that close with. She also doens't hate being alone, unlike me and a lot of my other friends who seem to have a fear of being alone while going to the bathroom or getting food in the lunch line. Vladimer walks outside when it's dark a lot and actualyl prefers being alone with his thoughts rather than in a large group (just saying my friend does not walk outside alone in the dark street like a creeper. But other than that, so far, Vladimer is the only character with any sort of personality so far...
