His naturally red hair is cut to a buzz cut. He also has his red-brown, square goatee which he maintains every third day. Because of the beard he also appears older, having been mistaken for an adult back when he was seventeen, which made it easier for him to buy drinks without being asked for an ID.

He has brown eyes and bushy eyebrows with a piercing on his right one. His skin is light and his face is diamond-shaped. He also has a mole on the back of his head that is sometimes visible through his hair. He has a big pointed nose and a defined face due to his slim cheeks.

In school, his facial expression is often grumpy or cold, but when he is happy enough to show some teeth with a big wide smile, they are slightly yellow.

He regularly wears his black classic wayframe glasses due to being nearsighted. He chooses to wear eye contacts for festivals for the mosh pits. He usually wears henleys or flannel shirts with jeans. On the day of the abduction, he wore a red flannel shirt with light-blue jeans. Underneath it he wears a white tank top. His left arm is full of festival bracelets.

Biography: In 2003 Spike was born to Eddie and Adriana Havighurst in Salem, MA. Eddie is a carpenter who was born in Ontario but moved to Salem, Massachusetts for his apprenticeship, Adriana is a Salem-born cashier. They met each other through a dating website. Both worked enough to collectively make ends meet and could afford to have a child together. They live in the house of Adriana's deceased parents so they do not have to worry about the space, financially. They are a loving family and take care of Spike. Their relationship is good. Spike has no preferred parent and they do family activities together regularly, such as going out in nature or visiting other cities.

In elementary school Spike was a shy and awkward kid leading to him being a lonely kid, often playing by himself on breaks. The teachers, having noticed, said he appeared to be alone all of the time and encouraged him to interact more with his classmates. Spike listened to the teachers and began to play more with his classmates. He enjoyed playing sports with the other kids and in the course of his school career, he tried out different kinds of sports and enjoyed most of them. He especially liked playing football and basketball with his classmates, due to being able to put all his energy into that. Though he also enjoys non-team sports as well such as swimming and track, as he did not need to rely on others but only focus on himself.

A big part of his family is also his bull terrier, Joey, who he has owned since he was twelve. Spike loved dogs since his childhood and loved to visit Eddie's mother Josephine and her dog, who live in Canada and whom they regularly visit on holidays. Spike wanted his parents to have a dog too, and eventually, his parents decided to give him a dog as a birthday present that would also give the young Spike more responsibility. Spike enjoys taking care of Joey and Joey makes Spike happy; Spike considers their companionship as a friendship. Spike likes the unconditional love dogs give which is why he prefers them over other pets.

Spike grew up listening to Iron Maiden as both Eddie and Adriana were big fans of the band and metal in general. In his early teenage years, he was also introduced to Linkin Park's earlier works through friends whose style of music he really enjoyed because of the songs filled with energy. He did not like the stuff they released at the time, because of how poppy and electronic it sounded. It was too commercial and it being played on the radio didn't help either, so he grew to find Chester Bennington's voice to get annoying over time. He soon discovered more nu-metal bands like Limp Bizkit or Slipknot and would regularly visit music stores on Essex Street to discover more metal or rock records. His current favourite band is System of a Down, as he enjoys the sound of their albums, as they are very creative and listening to them never gets old due their different styles they mix.

Spike began getting interested in politics once a right-wing radio host became president of the United States. Spike is not a fan of US politics, especially Canon's handling of social issues as well as SOTF. He wants to have a fair world and wants to protect and support the weak and is in support of government spending as opposed to a small government. In his daily life, he wants to act accordingly. He also has dived into punk rock because of the punk phases both of his parents had in their youth so he had early access to the records, though he only appreciated them later when he appreciated the political side of metal as well. His favorite hardcore band is Minor Threat, because of the aggression.

His enjoyment of physical activity holds on to this day as in his free time Spike likes to work out. He began hitting the gym in 9th grade. He regularly visits the gym, three to four times a week, mainly working out on row machines and weights. He likes to burn off his energy and it makes him feel better about himself. In the gym he also got closer with some classmates he knows from school. He prefers to work out alone but doesn't mind helping others there or working out together if it makes sense. Spike only has a close group of friends he regularly sees, as he is still someone who prefers to be alone in his free time, as sometimes social interaction feels exhausting to him. He hasn't joined any extracurricular clubs, because his training is time-consuming as is. He still enjoys PE class or the occasional spontaneous basketball game with friends though.

Spike is proud of his body and sometimes posts selfies of himself on Instagram to boost his ego - most of the pictures being without his glasses as he does not like wearing them. His instagram profile is public and he aside from post-workout selfies he posts pictures of concerts he attended.

Spike works as a tutor to get some cash. When Spike has enough money he loves to go to festivals and concerts to watch his favourite bands perform live. He has a collection of all of his festival bracelets and proudly wears them. During festivals he likes to meet new people and talk to them as he is having a good time there. He also likes to drink alcoholic drinks there that he gets from friends who are older than him. He enjoys being drunk as he is most often more happy and talkative and finds it easier to talk to strangers. His parents don't mind his lifestyle as they behaved similiarly when they were young.

Spike is not exactly shy, but is very careful of his words and values politeness. He is a rather relaxed person who likes to do things on his own and do things his way. In school he is not a talkative fellow as he is very thoughtful and careful of his words, though he is not afraid to speak up if a weaker student is threatened. Some kids respect him for committing himself to others, especially for weaker students who cannot verbally defend themselves, when there is either a debate going on or when there is bullying involved.

There is no school subject he struggles with as he is a very focused student. Aside from PE, Spike favours English classes as he loves literature in general. He reads a lot of books in his free time - ranging from classic novels to books about how to train your body to entertaining books like thrillers. He also likes poetry and recently discovered different forms of performance poetry such as slam poetry or dub poetry. His favourite poet is Benjamin Zephaniah and he is a fan of him as a person and his views on various subjects as well. He likes his anarchistic and also his anti-imperialistic views. Spike has no favorite novel, because he cannot choose favorites.

After high school, Spike aspires to become a social worker as he wants to have a job that can help people in need. He wants to take time off after graduation, though, so he hasn't applied for college yet. He is happy about not having to go to school anymore and looks forward to visit more festivals with his free time.

Advantages: Spike is an athletic fellow who is strong and may appear threatening. He also is a confident and careful person who would be able to be looked upon on by his peers. He also knows a thing or two about the human body due to his interest in working out efficiently.
Disadvantages: Spike's desire to protect the weak could cause him more harm than good, by making him prioritize the safety of others over his own. He is nearsighted and relies on his glasses or contacts to see.
