I don't play sports. I don't exactly have a ton of friends. I have books. You don't read. You don't understand. You don't know what it's like to live in different worlds, to travel on great adventures through the galaxy with people you know better than you know your own family. To live and die with them. Have you ever loved anything? Do you have any idea?

Personality

Aside from being a quirky individual, such as whispering specific words in a sentence under his breath, incessant whooping and his earlier one of stroking ketchup packets (which Frankie deemed a "phase" more than a quirk), Brick's defining trait is him being a bibliophile. He loves books, to the point where he describes them as his "best friends" when his favourite series, Planet Nowhere was ruined by Axl. It's also revealed he suffers from a phobia of bridges, being unable to drive across one as he had a distinct fear that it would break causing them to drown which is rooted to him watching When Bridges Collapse, unsupervised as an infant.

However Brick isn't entirely to blame for his several quirks and awkward social encounters. There has been hints that he suffers Aspergers Syndrome but this has not been confirmed nor denied. Brick himself gives very valid examples to the root of his quirky behaviour in "Bunny Therapy", from being raised by a strange woman for an entire month after Mike misplaced him for another baby just pbefore his birth and the fact that Frankie constantly caves to her children, setting low boundaries for discipline and control. Brick also has little independence in his life as he is consistently coddled by Frankie and Mike. Despite this Brick enters whatever project with total confidence despite his formatted lack of skills, both social and motor.

Despite seeming clueless and lost at most times, Brick occasionally displays remarkable leadership and assertiveness. He was able to run for Student Body President (with no paternal assistant) and win using self-modesty and deprivation. He was also able to lead his social skills group after they were forced out of the library and into the playground, using strategy.

Brick is also the calmest and emotionally unattached of his siblings however he did become much more snappy when his New Year resolution asked him to stop reading. He is also the less argumentiveitive when it comes to Frankie compared to Axl and Sue. Despite his anti-social nature, Brick is also quite friendly with his social group or "The Odd Squad".
