Introduction
Edmund Hopkins is a 23-year-old non-binary scene kid with dyed pink hair, a heart like glittered velvet, and enough chaotic sparkle to light up a dying town. They speak loudly, laugh louder, and feel everything like it’s turned up past ten. There's never a dull entrance when Edmund walks into a room — they are the room. The energy. The noise. The movement. But under all that shine? There’s someone watching everyone else just as closely. Someone who’s been through things. Who's learned when to smile, when to stay still, and when to disappear.
Standing around 5'5", Edmund’s look is unmistakable: shredded band tees, layered accessories, fingerless gloves, striped arm warmers, flared pants, thrifted skirts over leggings — always something neon, always something nostalgic. Their dyed pink hair is a bold middle finger to fading, and they often style it with volume and flair. They wear eyeliner like war paint, stickers like medals, and safety pins like statements. Most people don't know what to make of them — but that’s the point.
They bounce between the aisles of the comic store where they work, often spinning in place or talking to themselves like they’re hosting their own reality show. Around customers, they can be overly friendly, oddly intense, or disarmingly sincere. There’s rarely an in-between.
But get past the persona, and you’ll see someone who hurts when others do, who gets uncomfortable when people cross lines, and who uses laughter to defuse bombs only they can hear ticking.
Personality and Habits
Edmund is an extrovert in practice, but not always in spirit. They thrive off connection, but they’re not invincible. They’re loud not to overshadow others — but to keep their own fears from echoing too loud inside their head. They love hard, feel deeply, and carry a sensitivity beneath all the noise.
They don’t handle creepiness well — especially from people like Stuart, whose inappropriate comments instantly shut Edmund down. Around Stuart, their bubbly energy dims, and they try to avoid direct interaction. But with others? They shine. They're perceptive when it counts, silly when they can be, and surprisingly grounded when the situation calls for it.
When anxious, Edmund will ramble, play with their hair, or fixate on objects like buttons or zippers. Their bedroom is a colorful chaos — posters, plushies, glow-in-the-dark stars, and discarded boots — but it’s theirs. It’s safe.

Emotional Depth and Route Roles
Edmund may not always be front and center in the main routes, but their presence is strong — especially in Clementine’s Normal Love and Nate’s Obsessive Love routes. They act as a barometer for tension, often being the first to notice when something’s wrong — even if they joke about it first.
In Nate’s Normal Love route, Edmund acts as a concerned bystander, someone who sees both sides but quietly roots for Nate to heal. They’ve been there before — they’ve loved him before. And while that chapter is over, the friendship is real. They want him to get better… they just aren’t sure he believes he can.
In Nate’s Obsessive Love route, things are tenser. Nate pulls away. He gets suspicious. He starts accusing Edmund of “saying things” to Clementine. It hurts — because they still care. But they also won’t let themselves be pulled under again. Edmund becomes an emotional anchor to Clementine here, often providing her with grounding honesty, if she chooses to listen.
They don’t always know what to do — but they know when something doesn’t feel right.
Edmund Hopkins is a walking contradiction — loud but soft, chaotic but kind, fearless but afraid. They’re the color in the grayscale, the laughter in the silence, the safety pin holding the fabric together. When things fall apart, Edmund is the kind of person who helps pick up the glittered pieces — and throws them back in the air.
