James Maguire is the only male student at Our Lady Immaculate College.
History
James is the cousin of Michelle Mallon. He is the son of her aunt Kathy, who traveled to England, from Derry, to have an abortion. Instead, she chose to keep the pregnancy, resulting in her giving birth to James. James moved to Derry with his mother Kathy when he was fifteen-years-old.
James began to attend Our Lady Immaculate College, an all-girls school. He is the first (and so far only) male to do so. He did not attend the local boys’ school for fear he would be harassed due to the fact that he is English. On his first day of school, his mother moved back to London, without his knowledge, leaving him in the care of his aunt.
Personality
James is not used to life in Northern Ireland and has found it difficult to adjust. He is often the butt of most jokes, made mainly by his cousin Michelle. James is a polite, awkward teenage boy that is slowly emotionally toughing up and is beginning to bite back against teasing.
James does not like fish and chips, saying the smell makes him feel sick. He admires the boy band Take That specifically Gary Barlow, as a songwriter. He does not like that people in Derry use the term "wee" to describe things that aren't always small.
