Cody, now fourteen, has always craved the spotlight, a desire that sparked when he was just five years old. Living in the shadow of his sister, who possessed the uncanny ability to manipulate the force, Cody felt overlooked and undervalued. His sister's powers drew the attention and affection of everyone around them, leaving Cody feeling like a mere spectator in his own life. As he grew, so did his resentment, culminating in a deliberate act to provoke his sister into using her powers publicly, hoping it would shift some of the attention back to him. However, his plan backfired spectacularly, entangling not only himself but also his sister and their mother in a web of trouble that forced them to flee their small, backwater planet to a forgotten world on the galaxy's edge.

On this new planet, Cody's cunning nature led him to feign depression, a strategy to draw his mother's focus solely onto him. His physical appearance, marked by very dark brown hair that just touches the tips of his ears, deceivingly sweet brown eyes, and a button nose that often becomes a topic of conversation, complements his manipulative tendencies. His lean, wiry frame, a result of their impoverished life, is usually clad in a stained cotton t-shirt and ripped blue jeans, paired with holy sneakers, reflecting their new, harsh reality.

Cody's unique trait is his ability to manipulate emotions, not through force or power, but through his understanding of human psychology. He uses this skill to navigate his new life, always plotting ways to regain the attention he craves. Yet, his actions are a double-edged sword; while they sometimes work to bring him the attention he seeks, they also deepen the rifts within his family and isolate him further from genuine connections.

The conflicts in Cody's life are manifold: his rivalry with his sister, the guilt over involving his family in his schemes, and the struggle to find his place in a universe that seems indifferent to his desires. As Cody continues to manipulate and scheme, he remains unaware of the true cost of his actions, setting the stage for a future where the lines between right and wrong blur even further.
