Grady
McKay
Grady lives with his mother and sister in Odyssey.
Sometimes his mom has trouble making ends meet, but Grady always tries
to help her in any way he can. Grady loves hanging out at Whit’s End and
with mailman Wooton Bassett.
Grady's character has developed much in the time since
his character was created. He is a huge Power Boy fan, and collects both
Power Boy trading cards and comics, often given to him by Wooton for
free. His favorite character is Beth the Barbarian.
When we first met Grady, he was, to quote his mother,
'rebellious and angry'. He felt that the world had walked on him, and
was ready to walk right back on everybody else. He also struggled with a
deep bitterness towards his father. However, as he came into contact
with Wooton Bassett and
Mr. Whittaker, he began to see in them
the father he'd been missing, and in a veiled way, began to understand
how God is the perfect father. Grady had quite a struggle grasping the
concept of forgiveness, and right vs. wrong, but as he appeared more and
more, he seemed to grasp it better. His temper occasionally flares up,
causing him to do things he later regrets, but as his character develops
he struggles to control it more, and he is turning into a sweet young
boy. His recent conversion to Christianity has opened up a new door for
him.
Grady's special friends are
Wooton Bassett and John Whittaker.
He has a special relationship with Marvin
Washington because Marvin gave him his bike. Grady has an ongoing
feud with Rodney Rathbone. He has
occasional run-ins with other people, but Rodney is his only real enemy.
