Bryan Lewis

Bryan Lewis is the name of a man who visited the Inn in July 2008. He was transformed into 14-year-old Elyssa "Ellie" McClay and lived a year as her.

Biography
A native of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Bryan was the best friend of Todd Casey, as well as his "stepcousin" (his father had married Todd's aunt.) The two had been in a band together in high school, called The Mercy Mamas, that was banned from performing the school talent show due to the outrageous nature of their performance, which included drag. Bryan played lead guitar and shared vocals with Todd.

Bryan accompanied Todd as a photographer on his summer trip up the East coast of the United States from Miami to Maine in summer 2008 in search of adventure and "shows and ho's." Shortly after arriving in Maine, he and Todd discovered suitcases in the closet of their room. They debated selling the contents, but opted not to in case their owners returned. Bryan discovered letters inside from the previous visitors to that room, but the true meaning eluded him until after the transformation.

Early in the morning after attending a concert by a band called Slowhead, Bryan awoke to find that he had been transformed into a 14-year-old Connecticut girl by the name of Elyssa McClay. Bryan's immediate response to this was to smoke a joint and wait for his companion to awake. Having been interested in "psychics and aliens and Sasquatch and stuff," Bryan's reaction to being physically transformed was strangely excited.

Once in Connecticut, Bryan lived with Ellie's parents. His attitude seemed to be to take the adventure in stride, often seeing the upside of being affluent and young. In her place, he attended a private high school and befriended a girl named Emily Sinclair, who was new to school. Bryan endeavored to mold her into someone "[he] would actually want to hang out with." At one point, the two were supposed to go on a double date to "that vampire movie" (presumably Twilight) but he canceled at the last minute, claiming to be grounded because of Ellie's parents' reaction to her slipping grades. He later expressed frustration as Emily pursued a boy named Mike, which Todd suggested might be because Bryan was interested in him, an idea the latter rejected.

By February, Bryan had determined that he had a physical attraction to Emily, which he did his best to suppress while still maintaining a friendship with her. During a sleepover at her house, he met her brother Dennis, who played guitar. Bryan showed off his skills briefly by playing Sublime's "Santeria," lamenting that Ellie's fingers were not exactly up to the standards he usually played.

Appearance
In his original form, Bryan is a lanky 6'1 with a scruffy beard at the time of his transformation. As Ellie, he was much shorter with a slender frame, with long blonde hair, blue eyes and glasses. He described this appearance as "average-looking."

Over the course of Bryan's time as Ellie, he had to contend with her pubescent body, primarily commenting on her ever-enlarging breast and the soreness and complications it provided (having to buy new bras and other clothes.) He was self-conscious about body image, mentioning going from 115 lbs to 135 over the course of six months, "not all in the boobs."
