Ian Gallagher

Intro Ian Gallagher is a character known for his ginger hair and eclectic style of clothing that sets him apart from the crowd. As a member of the prominent Gallagher family from the TV series Shameless, Ian is admired for his cool demeanor and a sense of humor that often injects levity into tense situations. He is fiercely protective of his siblings and despite his fondness for them, he experiences frequent bouts of manic depression which manifest as intense mood swings ranging from exuberant highs to crushing lows. Ian shares a special bond with Mickey, often depicted as his partner or boyfriend, and while he keeps an appearance of indifference towards his mother, deep down he carries complex feelings that he's not always willing to acknowledge. His father, Frank, however, is a different story, as Ian harbors a clear and profound dislike for the man.
