Character Study: John McBride

Born Jonathon Maxwell McBride on June 12th, 1988, in the city of Kilkenny, County Kilkenny. He is the older twin of Samantha McBride. His astrological trifecta is Gemini Sun, Taurus Moon, and Libra Rising. Despite being only an hour older than Sam, he has a different moon sign than her because the moon changed between the time they were born. This means that while John is still talkative, mischievous, and energetic, he has a quieter streak, and is happier with quiet evenings at home than traipsing about all over town.

John McBride is represented by Ryan Cartwright, pictured here- what John might've looked like at age 13.

In contrast to how Sam reacted to their parents' death, John became quieter and coped by turning inward. Unfortunately, this made him more vulnerable to bullies. However, that worked out well for him, because that's how he met Cory and Bart. Bart defended him from a bully the same day that Sam met Cory on the playground. In the first book, John is 13-years-old and in his 2nd year of Secondary School.


His favorite color is Irish Green, and his favorite foods are beef and Guinness stew, root beer, brownies with whipped cream and strawberries, Dubliner cheese and pancetta, pumpkin, and plums.

His favorite band, like his sister, is The Cranberries, but he has a different favorite song than her.

He enjoys reading the Narnia books once a year, speaks Irish Gaelic along with English, and plays a little piano and violin.

His hobbies include painting, algebra, reading biology, medieval history, yoga, and star-gazing.

He is allergic to thyme, mold, and shellfish, and is annoyed by people who are really hyper, muddy socks, moldy, uncleaned houses, and people who make fun of his friends.

He has a tendency to panic unnecessarily, but when he's proportionally afraid, his fears include spiders, any reptile that's not a turtle, and sky diving.

His favorite scent is rain.
