My two characters are Mitty Blake from “Code Orange” and Moose from “Al Capone does my Shirt”. If you know them, they wouldn't seem polar opposites or very alike.

While Mitty was willing to risk his life for the lives of all in New York, Moose only got his sister to get into a prestigious school without her redeeming herself and getting in with her own smarts and
