Personality
Fletcher is an excitable, imaginative and unusual boy with a cheeky sense of humor. He has the tendency to be slow-witted at times, such as when he does odd things for his friends such as diving into trash simply because they don't want to, and is often seen as stupid, however he can be quite cunning and devious at times.

When ever he is embarrassed or doesn't know what to say, he sometimes pretends to be frozen, thinking that no one can see him. He is also disliked by many teenagers for being an A.N.T., since he wasn't able to enter a club except the one with only Chyna's brother in it, the End Hunger Today Club. He is however friendly to next to next to every body, even those who don't like him. He is also often portrayed as timid.

History
In TransplANTed, Chyna believes that Fletcher is carrying a dead body, which is actually a beeswax sculpture. Olive mocks him by saying he has to literally "make friends." Fletcher then explains that he's an artist and he's sculpting the entire class out of beeswax as a project. Chyna comments that they're beautiful, and Fletcher accidentally tells Chyna that she's beautiful, creeping her out. He then corrects himself saying her music's beautiful, even though he hasn't heard her play. So to escape an embarrassing moment, he pretends he's a statue. Later, when first period ends and Angus get caught in the flood of teens, Fletcher says they should go back for him, so Olive slaps him straight. In music class, some big kids stuff his head into a tuba, so Chyna blows into it to shoot him out. At Chyna's house, Fletcher comes dressed in a business man getup, with a top hat and spectacle to match as an attempt to look older. When Chyna's dad comes home early, Fletcher creats wax figures of the three of them so they can sneak out and go to Lexi's party, but not before he practices hitting on Chyna's double. At the party, he pretends that he's a magician to impress Paisley, and later crashes into the stereo, almost ruining the party before Chyna performs. The next day, when Chyna says they need more wax figures, Fletcher says they're already done, creeping Chyna out again, so he corrects himself saying they will be done and then acts like a statue again.

In ParticipANTs, Fletcher comes to the Activity Fair dressed in a suit of armor so that none of the big kids can hurt him, but then gets caught by a giant magnet. Trying to get into the chess club, he ends up getting pieces shoved up his nose, so he goes to the End Hunger Today Club. He notices that it's only Cameron and he's eating buffalo wings, so after hearing of the club's true purpose, (using school funds to buy buffalo wings) he wants in. He gets in by threatening Cameron he will tell Skidmore about his little scam, which allows him to be in. When they order some more buffalo wings he gets some super hot ones, causing him to want them out ASAP! When Susan Skidmore shows up at the same time as the delivery guy, Fletcher blows their cover saying, "Our wings are here!" This causes Principal Skidmore to want in.

Chyna Parks (2011-present; best friend, crush)
Fletcher has a crush on Chyna since the first time he met her .However she was oblivious to it until Some EnchANTed Evening, when he admitted it to her. They are occaionally seen smiling at each other, which is a sign they like each other. She may feel the same way because in EndurANTs, she was close to saying it.

Olive Doyle (unknown-present; Best friend)
Even though Fletcher and Olive tease each other at times, they seem to be really close friends and get along really well alone without Chyna. They knew each other before Chyna. It is possible that Olive might like Fletcher, because in EndurANTs she says "Well, I tease him because I love him".
