Lori Walls
Brother of Jeannette, Lori, and Maureen, and the third-oldest sibling after Jeannette. Brian is the closest to Jeannette for much of their childhood: they play together, forage for food together, and defend themselves from other kids with each other’s help. Brian is intensely loyal: as a young child, he hides in the bushes at one point to help Jeannette fight back against three older girls, and from seventh grade, he mows lawns to contribute to Jeannette and Lori’s escape fund even though he’s too young to leave.
