alfonso theodore adelaide
 alfonso theodore adelaide was born in perth, australia to gweneviere and charles adelaide on april 1st. don't make jokes about it because he's heard them all. he prefers to be called alfie but his five other siblings sometimes call him alfred to get on his nerves. zeke has been known to use a couple romantic nicknames like babe or baby and he also occasionally calls him alf as a short version of alfie
 he is the fifth child of seven children over all and was actually an accident which his father used to be very rude about with him being like the accident child they didn't want but after his father was arrested, he never heard it again. he has one older sister, hannah, who is ten years his elder, three older brothers, edwin, who is eight years older than him, markus, who is four years older than him, and bennet, who is one year older than him, he also has one little sister, delilah, who is two years younger than him, and a little brother, timothy, who is five years younger than him
 as mentioned, charles adelaide is a douchebag and favored hannah, edwin, and markus over the other four. that being said, alfie was the only unplanned child and his father never let him hear the end of it and alfie is like his least favorite son and it hurts but alfie has gotten over it because he hasn't seen his father in years
 his mother wasn't much better and really only paid any attention to hannah and delilah which hurt all the other children because it seemed like she didn't love them
 one of the key things that sticks out about alfie is that he has anger issues and tends to snap at people when he gets worked up. now, he's been working on it a lot because he knows that it's not a good thing and, recently, he hasn't really snapped at people (except, maybe stace) which is an improvement
 other than that, which is his fatal flaw, alfie is a kind and loving person who really does try his best to make people happy and always tries to have a smile on his face because smiles are contagious whether people believe it or not and he's got the cutest one in the whole wide world, it's so presh k thx
 is known to think of others over himself because he'd rather get hurt than have someone he cares about get hurt. if he could take someone's pain away, he'd do it in an instant. if he had to choose between getting hurt to save someone or getting away, he'd choose the first one in a heartbeat
 didn't make friends easily when he was younger but that can be partially accredited to bennet who, many times, made alfie out to be some horrible person especially with his anger issues and it was not good. alfie never really had friends in middle school and high school and felt so isolated and loney and didn't know what he was doing wrong. he was trying his best to be kind to everyone and reach out but everyone just turned away and ran in the other direction
 this is really what started the bad blood between himself and bennet. they don't get along and constantly fight and yell at each other because bennet also has extreme anger issues (probably bordering on homicidal tendencies)
 he might be a high functioning alcoholic because he never developed healthy coping mechanisms and started going to parties when he was like sixteen and there was alcohol and it's just not good
 gets in trouble too much because he's a lowkey bad boy but also a cinnamon bun
â€â€
tw death when he was twelve years old, his younger brother, timothy, was killed in a car crash which affected everyone in the family differently. alfie was heartbroken because he loves all his siblings and was especially protective of timothy given he was the youngest. the family then relocated to madison, wisconsin in the states (why there, they never told them) to start anew. alfie thinks this is because timothy's death wasn't an accident but that's just him making up theories
â€â€
tw murder three years following the move, his father killed his mother in a jealous rage. he had found out she was sleeping with someone else and alfie witnessed him stab her to death right in front of him and it's scarred him for life. delilah also saw and called the cops and their father was arrested for what he did leaving three of the six children without anyone to look after them
 instead of letting them get mixed up in the system, hannah and edwin dropped everything and moved back home to make sure their siblings didn't get split up and they raised bennet, alfie, and delilah until they all turned eighteen
 when he turned eighteen, he watched his best (and only) friend die and she actually died in his arms and he still has nightmares about it to this day. she also came back as a ghost and was tormenting people and almost killed him if it weren't for zeke and stace saving his life for the first time and he was officially introduced to the supernatural universe which he thought wasn't real until that point
 so, he met the love of his life, zeke, that day as well so yeah
 two months into the relationship with zeke, alfie was killed by some violent spirit while zeke was away and alfie became a ghost as a result and actually possessed someone for a time until zeke sold his soul so alfie could be resurrected in his own body and not have to possess someone
 of course, this came with side effects. a few weeks after being ressurected, alfie discovered he came back as a shapeshifter and it freaked him out. before he learned to control it, his hair would change color based on his mood and he couldn't really figure out how to actual shift his appearance but has since learned how to control and actually change his appearance. the one thing he can't control? when he is extremely ill, his hair starts fading into a slate grey color and it's like the one indication something is really wrong even if he doesn't admit to it
â€â€
tw torture there are two instances of alfie undergoing intense torture. the first is recently after becoming a shapeshifter. there was a hunter (not zeke) who was looking for a shapeshifter and somebody tipped the hunter off to alfie being a shapeshifter and this hunter kidnapped him and tortured him to get information out of him and when alfie said he didn't know, the hunter though he was lying when, in reality, he was telling the truth. the second time was after bennet tried to kill him and zeke took him to the hospital because he was injured by a poisoned blade. well, at the hospital, it was discovered that alfie was a shapeshifter somehow and basically, before zeke could stop it, alfie was taken away to a facility where he was tortured, tested, experimented on, and degraded for about two months. they even shaved his hair off. zeke saved him both times but that facility really fucked alfie up
 doesn't sleep a lot because he has nightmares from everything that's happened and also, he drinks a lot more because of all the shit he's been through
