Zane

Named after an Irish mayor, Zane is a spunky sixteen-year-old boy.

Appearance
He naturally tan skin, is about five feet seven inches tall, has wavy bleach-blonde hair, and bright blue eyes. He has a lopsided kiddish smile that only shows when he is really happy.

Personality
Zane is a moody person. He often feels left out and lonely.

Diseases/Disorders
Zane is schizophrenic, which means he hallucinates and believes his hallucinations are his reality. He harms himself frequently. Zane is a jerk rather than a caring person and is truly a child pretending to be tough. He often feigns happiness by forcing a fake smile onto his face.

If he gets hurt, which happens every five minutes, he doesn't want pity and normally doesn't see the big picture at all. Zane is immune to the Flare. He was a Runner before an incident that occurred in the Maze.

The Maze Runner
One day, Zane and CJ entered the Maze searching for an exit. They found one, however, they got chased by a Griever on their way out. In an attempt to save CJ, Zane flung himself in front of her and was stung and passed out shortly after he and CJ safely returned to the Maze. After receiving the Grief Serum from Skye, Zane underwent the Changing. He remembered the Scorch, the Flare, and a girl named Brooks. He also remembered bad things about his past self, which only spurred on his self-harming behaviour. Zane was permanently forbid to enter the Maze when he tried to commit suicide by running straight for a Griever and almost dying in the act. He bid CJ farewell and ran into the Maze. He did not once look back. He was attacked by a Griever who was trying to kill him and shouted, "I am sorry for existing!" In that moment, Zane thought those would be his last words. Phil, however, did not let that happen. Phil found Zane and ignored his protests of the help. Zane didn't want Skye to see him in his terrible state, but Phil carried Zane to Skye, who fixed him up the best she could. Skye scolded Zane the entire time she spent healing him. He ran into the Maze after CJ one day and was scolded for it, so he returned to the Glade and went to the Homestead. He found Skye's notebook and told her he was sorry. After he apologized to his close friend, he intentionally drowned himself in the stream.

Zane's goodbye: "Thanks for the good times. I loved the lollipops and stickers. You brought out the kid in me. You made a few minutes the happiest for me. I'm sorry I was so broken that even you couldn't fix me. I'm gonna miss you a lot. I'm really sorry. I'm sorry for making your life worse. Tell CJ goodbye for me. Thank you, really. I'm going to miss you, Skye. I loved you, even as a friend. I loved you more than a friend. Thank you for the happiest time of my life. Even if it was only for a few good minutes. -Zane"

Zane now watches over the remaining Gladers as a ghost left on Earth.
