[b]
Full Name:[/b] Ghent ("GEHENT") Vincent Madrail  

[b]Age:[/b] 17

[b]Heritage:[/b] The son of Hatter Madrail. Ghent's mother was murdered a few years after he was born. 

[b]Adoptive parents:[/b] Frederick and Elise Preston. Elise was the first to find Hatter's son; she was astonished to discover him in the woods near their home, disoriented and impossibly lost.
 
[b]Appearance:[/b] Thick, medium length black hair. The style is unpredictable, but the layers sometimes give it an unruly appearance. His bangs fall in front of his eyes, which are blue in color and have a sharp, piercing quality to them. The rest of his features are dark and seem to contrast against his paler-than-should-be skin. He has a lithe build and currently stands at 5'9", but has about a year left to grow.

[b]Distinguishing Marks:[/b] A few light freckles running across the bridge of his nose. A more noticeable one is underneath his left eye. He has a small scar underneath his jaw.
 
[b]Clothes Wear:[/b] Whatever's comfortable. He usually wears hoodies, jeans, worn out sneakers, and three quarter/graphic t-shirts. 

[b]Abilities:[/b] Strength and magic, both inherited from his race. As far as magic goes, Ghent was completely unaware of the ability until Drust and Elayra came to earth. Understandably, he is inexperienced but has the potential to become better with practice.

[b]Weapons:[/b] A staff, given to him on page 13.

[b]Personality:[/b] It's no secret that Ghent can be a pain. He isn't malicious, but he enjoys pushing the buttons of others in order to get a reaction out of them. His sarcasm usually lands him in trouble, but his past experiences haven’t been enough for him to keep his mouth shut. Despite his immaturity, he has a good heart. Ghent has lazy tendencies, but can be hard working with proper motivation. 

[b]Major Positive Traits:[/b] Compassionate. Empathetic. Hardworking (sometimes).

[b]Major Negative Traits: [/b]Sarcastic. Cocky. Klutz. Impulsive. Awkward. 

[b]Weaknesses:[/b] At times, Ghent doubts himself and his abilities. The fear of failure usually prevents him from achieving success. Having lived in two worlds, he struggles with deciding where he belongs and where his loyalties lie.
 
[b]Ticks and Tags:[/b][u] Ticks:[/u] Fidgets a lot, often with the drawstrings of his hoodies. When he’s faced with a situation he can’t wrap his mind around, he will pace and/or mumble to himself until he can make sense of what’s happening. [u] Tags:[/u] "Cut me some slack!" "Great." "Wait, what?"

[b]Fears:[/b] Ghosts. Failure. Being unable to return home. Wonderland in general.
 
[b]Short Bio:[/b] Ghent’s story could have been a tragic one, had he not been found. He was discovered in a forest as a toddler, and later adopted by the very family that took him in.
	For much of his childhood, Ghent lived in the comforts of a small farmhouse in the country. Life was serene, quiet, and good. He grew up happy and healthy, with a mother who doted on him and a dedicated, hardworking father. 
	Things changed when they moved. Seeking better employment, Mr. Preston uprooted his family to the city, which is where they remained for the years that followed.
	The city posed many differences and challenges, but Ghent learned to adapt and knew his way around. Unfortunately, street smarts didn't help much in school.
	As Ghent grew older, the nightmares and flashbacks became more frequent. Different events or images would trigger a memory, many of which involved Elayra and Drust. The memories confused and frightened Ghent. He never forgot Wonderland, but he learned to stop talking about it after his parents sought him professional help. It was something his mother made the mistake of telling her longtime friend, Mrs. Saxon.
	News spread and rumors started. High school proved to be Ghent's biggest obstacle. He became an easy target for jokes and ridicule, and his grades began to suffer for it. 
	Motivated by money and the desire to help his family financially, he began to take on odd jobs. His fifth job turned out to be his favorite: a part-time shift at Frank's Book Barn.
	Even there, Ghent wasn’t free from Wonderland. Flashbacks would hit him at the most inconvenient times…and they didn’t cease until became reunited with two important faces from his past.

[h3]Other Important Characters[/h3]

[hider=Henry]
[b]Name:[/b] Henry 

[b]Age:[/b] 14

[b]Appearance: [/b] Henry is thin, wiry, with no muscle tone whatsoever. He makes an effort to look neat, but his untamed shock of ginger hair betrays him by looking a mess and his freckles are out of control. When reading, he wears thick black glasses over his large, brown eyes that give him an owlish appearance.

[b]Clothes wear:[/b] Henry wears an odd mix of clothing. Most of his clothes are hand-me-downs from previous cousins, including Ghent. When his options are limited, he can be found wearing faded graphic t-shirts (he favors Disney ones) and jeans that have been rolled up at the cuffs in order to fit. 

[b]Personality:[/b] Despite a rocky home life, Henry remains optimistic, but he has a sensitive side that results in him crying at the drop of a hat. Although he has a sweet, childlike innocence about him, he isn't foolish. He's remarkably intelligent and has a great love for reading and learning. Because of his OCD, Henry is always cleaning and organizing, and likes to keep busy in order to make himself useful. His desire for perfect order can be a little overwhelming at times, but he means no ill intent and has great respect for his family and friends. 

[b]Bio: [/b]Henry is an only child who never longed for the company of a sibling. Growing up in the country, he had plenty of family and cousins to spend his time with. The families all lived quite close in the rural area, including the Preston family.
	Even as a toddler, Henry was fascinated by Ghent and seemed to gravitate towards him, viewing him as an older brother figure. To the delight of their parents, the three year age gap and a difference in personality didn't prevent the two boys from getting along. 
	After the Preston family moved to the city, Henry was heartbroken. The families kept in touch when possible, making multiple visits during the holidays. The visits lessened over the years, but Henry took it upon himself to keep in touch through any means possible. To Elise’s delight (and to Frederick and Ghent’s dismay) Henry has been known to leave long rambling phone messages, sends more texts than a teenage girl, and writes letters so long, they need to be mailed in multiple envelopes.
	Henry is the only one Ghent continued to trust with his few memories of Wonderland. Their efforts to uncover the mystery were admirable, but brought nothing but disappointment and wild theories. Eventually, a disgruntled Ghent gave up, but Henry continued to search for the truth behind his cousin’s past.

[b]Name:[/b] William Saxon the Third

[b]Age:[/b] 14 (72 in human years).

[b]Appearance: [/b] William is an overweight Persian cat that sheds almost as much as he eats. He has an under-bite, resulting in his bottom teeth being visible even when his mouth is closed. His fur is supposed to be white, but it always seems to look dirty. In Ghent's opinion, at least.

[b]Personality:[/b] Although he is old, grumpy, and set in his ways, William has youthful spurts of energy that result in him getting into mischief. Whenever the opportunity arises, William escapes the Saxon residence and explores the city at his leisure. He enjoys eating smoked Salmon, napping, and causing his owner grief.

[b]Bio:[/b] William comes a family of purebred Persian cats, their owners famous among the show winning cat breeders. Purchased at eight months, William cost close to seven thousand dollars, a sum Mrs. Saxon takes pleasure in reminding everyone of. Due to her love of cats and bragging in general, Mrs. Saxon shows him off whenever possible and treats him better than she treats most people.
