Newt

He’s a homeless raccoon who camps outside the island flats. Everyone on the island tries to avoid him bc he’s a weirdo. He grew up in a children’s home where he never really fit in and was considered a problem child because of his habit of getting into trouble and not getting on well with other kids. He never got adopted due to the reputation of raccoons and foster homes never kept him for very long. Once he aged out of the system he was kicked out into the world, alone and without any support. He sneaks onto the supply boat while running from trouble and finds himself on the island which he made his “home”. He does eventually form a friendship with Shrimp as they are both chaotic outcasts and they look out for each other.
