He is a tall, muscular sixteen-year-old high school student and the older brother of the group's leader, Mikey Walsh, whom he is protective of, often acting as a responsible figure despite their sometimes strained sibling relationship. Brand is characterized as strong, responsible, and kind, with a close bond to his younger brother and a developing romantic interest in Andy, the group's cheerleader.
