Moody Richardson

Moody is the youngest Richardson son, a quiet, watchful kid in a house full of louder personalities. He's the first to befriend Pearl Warren, drawn to her difference from his own comfortable, predictable world, and he courts her attention with the earnest, slightly wounded persistence of a boy used to being overlooked.

Gavin Lewis plays Moody with a soft, aching sincerity that makes his crush feel real rather than merely plotty — you believe he's the one Richardson kid actually paying attention to the people around him. The writing uses his decency as a quiet rebuke to his family's obliviousness, and Lewis never oversells it.
