Trace is a usual friend that you would come across in life; he's very simple and quite shameless in what he says. He is practically Speeds right hand. When the time comes he gets very worrisome over the safety of his friends.

He has conflict with his dad due to him wanting to be a rescuer, while his father wants him to grow up to be a researcher like him. His outlook on being a researcher is simplified as "boring with only 1 perk," while he finds excitement and fun in rescue work.
