Tyler Richard Tracy

Born: December 24, 2058
Current Age: 9
Position: Youngest son and child of Dianne Tracy, youngest of the Tracy children

Third and last child of Richard and Dianne Koch, Tyler was only four when his natural father died and therefore has few clear memories of Rick. He has always been the baby of the family and a bit spoiled despite Dianne’s efforts to treat him and his siblings fairly. Unlike his siblings, he adapted well to the move to Tracy Island, soaking up the sun and the busy atmosphere, even though he occasionally felt overlooked. The affection that Jeff began to show to his mother caused Tyler to look up to the Tracy patriarch in almost hero-worship. He was very excited to have Jeff as his stepfather upon Jeff and Dianne’s marriage, and welcomed the idea of adoption with open arms. His relationship with Jeff has always been strong, but he has also grown very fond of his older brother, John, to whom he has taught the finer points of pinball.

Tyler is openly affectionate to his family, but has trouble making friends with his peers. He gets along well with his natural siblings, but tends to have more conflict with Cherry than with Alex. His intelligence has made him very conversant with computers, and he finds a challenge to his mind in many different kinds of games, from computer-based ones to old-fashioned board games and word puzzles. He is a master pinball player and can often be found in the games room tutoring one of his adult siblings. He enjoys building things and creating stories to go along with what he builds. Math is his favorite subject in school and he is generally an all-A student in his current curriculum.

Tyler is also infamous for being the pickiest eater at the table, which often leads to conflict at dinner. The stress of recent events, however, have made his eating habits a matter of scrutiny as his picky habits dwindled to eating little and not keeping down what he did eat. He is slow to wake and get dressed in the mornings unless properly motivated, and breakfast is not his favorite meal. Unlike his older brother, Alex, Tyler has remained slight of build and height, and is quick on his feet as a result. His nickname in the family is "Spud".
