Lloyd Shepherd

Lloyd Shepherd is a character in Bully and is featured as the protagonist for Bully: The Prequel

==Character description-- Lloyd Shepherd is the preppie son of his self made parents from Camden, London, Great Britain. Lloyd has had a rough time through Bullworth, as in his time in England, he was sent to a state school where everyone is put into a single uniform and where people of all backgrounds, whether from a council estate to a nice house in a suburb; however at Bullworth, he walked in with the Aquaberry suit of the preps, which gained attention and unwanted attention from the Greasers and resulted him mixing with the haves.

He is proud of his new rich origins, sometimes using reverse snobbery on the other preps (although he usually doesn't mean what he says), although usually takes elitist views onto other students, especially the Greasers. London slang was his accent before he came to Bullworth and he still occasionally uses it to confuse other students but now he speaks in a midatlantic accent.

His athleticism and extracurricular pride has made some to consider a borderline Prep-Jock. Although he does have Jock friends and can been seen picking on Nerds with other Jocks, he is Preppy and the sports he does are considered to be "preppy sports". Lloyd has done both Judo and Kickboxing as a martial art although never actually finished training in either of them and his fighting style combines a variety of Judo grapples and Kickboxing punches and kicks. He is in the American football team as a Linebacker, although struggles with the rules most of the time due to the fact in England he didn't play American football but Rugby union instead.

Background
Lloyd was born in the London Borough of Camden, London, on the 17th September 1995, to his mother Louise Shepherd, a Non executive director for Aquaberry UK and his father, John Shepherd, a self made angel investor. In his youth, his rich parents were often working and he was sent to stay with a family friend, a struggling band member. They lived on benefits and the band member's son was already in prison for association with gang activity while his daughter was a teenage parent. At a young age, Lloyd was exposed to the hardships of living in London.

After his exposure to this, his parents sent him to a Prep school where he met up with other students of similar social status. Thanks to his early exposure to poverty, he was always the first to volunteer for charity work and would often explain to his peers about the hardships that others experience. He began to start doing sports and got into the Rugby team, eventually becoming a first choice for the team. At the start of secondary school, his parents transformed him from private to state school. He passed the 11+ examinations and got into a grammar school, where he spent his time in Year 7 and 8 until Year 9, when his parents decided to move to America and Lloyd was enrolled in Bullworth Academy.

This won't be finished until Blue November's Bully: The Prequel, is finished, as it would contain spoilers.

Personality
Lloyd is a like-or-hate kind of student. You'd probably like him if you were a Prep or one of his friends and you'd probably hate him if you were one of his targets for bullying, a Greaser or if you hardly hang out with him (wearing an Aquaberry and not talking to anyone other then Preps can really make you hated).

To students who like him, Lloyd is generally friendly and polite. He would act as a normal friend, being there when needed and bullying other students with them. To students who hate him, he is mean spirited and snobby, thanks to the fact he hangs with the Preps. He often quotes to members of other cliques excluding the Bullies and Jocks on how they can't afford 'proper clothes'.

Preppies
Being a Prep himself, Lloyd generally get on well with his fellow Preps with the exception of Derby Harrington.

Derby Harrington
Lloyd and Derby seem to hate each other. Lloyd blames him for the stereotype he got in Bullworth (a snobby, rich prep) while Derby dislikes Lloyd due to his pride over being new money.

Bif Taylor
Lloyd has got on better with Bif then Derby. Bif was one of Lloyd's first friends and was the one who introduced him to the other preps.

Jocks
Lloyd gets on well with the Jocks although considers them "friends" rather then actual friends with the exception of Conor Reece, William Carpenter and the O'Brians.
