Biography[]
Bailey Tipton is a student in Stuart House and is a member of the Dalton Academy Warblers. He is repeatedly mentioned to perhaps be the only "warm" Stuart student, at least towards Kurt who he very much seems to like looking after. He has openly expressed the desire to protect the relationship between Blaine and Kurt, and dislikes the trouble coming their way from Stuart House. Bailey is often seen with a pair of headphones and is clearly very interested in music. He also runs a music booth for the Valentines' Fair in E23.
As a Stuart student, he is notably close to Windsor boys and he understands that it may have estranged him just a little bit from his own House members, who feel a very fierce rivalry with Windsor House.
However, Bailey is also clearly looking after the harmony in Stuart House as it is seen that he runs around looking after people. He shows distress when the top three Stuarts Logan, Derek and Julian start to fight, and, as he has overheard the situation with Logan and Julian, he is trying to find a way to help without revealing that he knows anything.
There seems to be a hidden meaning to Bailey's attempts to protect the harmony of everyone in Stuart and Windsor, as hinted by Logan's requests for him to stop, but it has yet to be revealed by Bailey.
Bailey's character is said to have been created with real life Dalton Academy Warbler Dominic Barnes as the character mould.
Jousting[]
All boys and some girls had a jousting competition. Everyone rode a horse, and used an eleven-foot log to try and knock off their opponents. Even Bailey went and jousted. The houses Windsor, Stuart, Hanover and Lancaster have agreed that whichever house "wins" will be served by all the other houses in a big cookout. Bailey was second to compete, and he was facing up against Cameron from Something Damaged. Bailey was worried he was going to die.
He tried to get advice from the other Stuart’s but all Milo offered was “Don’t fall off? When the flag dropped, they rode forward and Cameron’s lance struck Bailey’s chest, while Bailey’s lance collided with Cameron’s lance. Bailey was almost torn from his horse but he slumped over and held onto the reins. When Bailey was asked if he was okay to go again, he said his chest hurt and he didn’t think he couldn’t go again. He was having trouble breathing as well.
