[indent]Third-Generation Legacy
[sub]↳In addition to being a legacy, however, Theodore, along with his other two siblings, Bastien and Madéleine, all qualify for the other two ways to get into M.U. They are all equally wealthy and capable to get scholarships, but do not have them so they do not take slots from other deserving students.[/sub][/indent]

[indent]Illistration and Graphic Design with a Minor in Art Theory[/indent]
[color=4169e1]Sexuality[/color]
[indent]Undisclosed
[sub]↳Theo is very secretive about letting anyone know of his preferences. Like art, labels simply confine us to a certain space. Regardless of the gender, biological sex, or gender identity, who Theo loves or doesn’t love is something to remain between him and his potential significant other.[/sub][/indent]
[color=4169e1]Relationship Status[/color]
[indent]Like a canvas, his relationship status is empty and open for someone’s brush to begin a masterpiece. Although he wouldn't admit it outright, Theo might have a small crush on Kenna Diedrikson-Varma.[/indent]

[indent]The Alternate Artist[/indent]

[color=4169e1]Appearance Details[/color]
[indent][color=slateblue][b]Hair:[/b][/color] Auburn | Theo’s hair is mostly unkempt but has a natural smoothness to it. In appearance, it appears to be naturally dark brown with red traces but he was born with abnormally dark red hair -- sort of auburn, kind of black. It’s also why his eyebrows appear to be very dark in color. He doesn’t usually stylize it unless it’s for a special circumstance (like a date or a formal event).
[color=slateblue][b]Eyes:[/b][/color] Brown
[color=slateblue][b]Height & Weight:[/b][/color] 6’1/165lbs
[color=slateblue][b]Body Type:[/b][/color] [url=https://i.imgur.com/x5UZDA4.jpg]Very athletically fit[/url] | Theo might be an artist from a prestigious family who might not typically have the body he does, but his art is an extension of himself and in some aspect, his body itself is the canvas in which his art can be seen. So weirdly, Theo treats his body with care by going to the gym regularly, keeping to a strict diet, and getting as finely toned as he can manage without it being too much. Through this, he has been able to obtain a body with toned abs and pecs, arms that are noticeably chiseled but not too much, and overall he has the body he is proud of (and sometimes likes to show off).
[color=slateblue][b]Clothing Style:[/b][/color] Artistic and classy | Theo bridges his two loves for experimental fashion and classical French style into something that is one of a kind. He harbors several floral shirts and tye-dye-esque tops with a plethora of pants ranging from jeans to slacks to dress pants. He’ll wear a full suit and bowtie should he fancy it or should the situation call for it. He is just as likely to rock a simple tank and shorts. Truth be told, Theo is one of those guys who has a very adaptable style and dresses as the occasion calls for it. He’s also very seasonal with his outfits and will dress accordingly. His parents were a lot of things but they taught him and his siblings to dress as if they were aiming to impress someone.
[color=slateblue][b]Scars, Tattoos and/or Piercings:[/b][/color] He has no scars that are worth mentioning, but in addition to several tattoos on his body -- including a half sleeve of rainbow-esque art on his left arm -- Theo has his ears pierced with multiple holes spread throughout. [/indent]

[indent]There should be a lot to say about Theor’s ability to survive adversity given his upbringing. From golden child to family disappointment, one thing that Theo has survived was pressure, which he thrives under but it still didn’t interfere with his own individuality that he has maintained from the time he could walk to this very moment. This also came with his ability to ignore the high dmands of his parents and focus mostly on his siblings. Caring for them when their care providers couldn’t or when the parents were too busy to do so. Family is one of the most important things to him and whether you’re related to Theo or have made such an impact that this often unruly individual who keeps his heart close to him considers you to be family, you might want to count yourself lucky because with everything that he is or everything he might become, Theodore Bonfamille will go to bat for you every single time he is able.

First impressions don’t mean a lot to Theo, not when the impressions after the fact tell him exactly what he wants to know. Maybe this is the part of him that’s unfair or too judgmental, but with as much disappointment he has felt from his parents and some he chose to get close enough to stab him, he takes extra steps to ensure that who he lets in won’t use the moments of his guard being lowered to attack him. When it comes to how he is before letting you in, Theo has been known to be borderline cruel, sarcastic, a tad snarky, and blunt. He’ll tell you exactly what he thinks about you. Good or bad, you’ll know his opinion the moment he opens his often trouble-starting mouth. As an artist, he needs to be able to think freely and sometimes that comes with a borderline arrogance in speaking his mind regardless of what he might say or how that might hurt another.

Deep down, one might see a softer side of Theodore -- a nurturing side. He was brought up not by his parents but by the members of the house staff who treated him, Bas, and Mads as their own children. Values were instilled into their minds and hearts and Theo clung to those values that, despite how much one doesn’t deserve it and no matter how much he would very much like to bash certain people’s heads in, taking the high road is what’s best to move on. He sometimes doesn’t always follow this as he has had bouts of aggression that landed him into fights and other unsavory situations, but Theo has always tried to be better than he was the last time. If he took three steps back before, he’d try and take four steps forward next time. He doesn’t have time to regret or frown on the what-ifs. He only has the time to be better than he was before. If nothing else, he has to do it for himself and his siblings.[/indent]
[color=4169e1]Upbringing Synopsis[/color]
[indent]Perfection and high expectations had always been part of the equation when it came to the children of Thomas and Adelaide Bonfamille. The two of them were already famous around the world but particularly in the artistic and performing worlds but nothing became more apparent about their stature and position in their circles than when they had triplets: Theodore Gustave, the oldest,, the Bastien Clemente, the middle, and Madéleine Marie , the youngest. 

Right off the bat, as soon as they were able, the triplets were put through all of the usual suspects of privilege: given fancy clothes, nannies, private school, lessons that would shape them into the perfect representation of the famous Bonfamille family. That name meant something and it carried power. Bastien and Madéleinewere the ones who carried most of the weight and didn’t succumb to the pressure. They were the ones who had mother and father’s approval.

And then there was Theodore.

Theodore Gustave Bonfamille. He, of anyone else, had the most to prove. Bastien was the middle, so he was able to not deliver on everything (even though he did and then some), and Madéleine was the baby. Despite also pulling her own weight, she always had both mother and father’s get out of jail free card, but Theodore? If he disappointed in any way, even if he wasn’t that far behind his siblings, there was always some form of disappointment. Maybe his brushstrokes weren’t perfect, or the results from his exams didn’t reach the level of perfection both Thomas and Adelaide expected from him.  

And it got to him. 

He didn’t let it show, especially when his younger brother and sister were concerned, but it weighed on his soul. The constant disappointment and way-too-high expectations laid upon him by his never-there parents made him seriously doubt himself. But at some point, there came a time that Theodore talked with his father. His mother was too rigid to ever hear him out but Theo always felt like his father was a little softer on the children and even though Theo wished Thomas was around more often, their talks meant a lot to him and even just letting his son freely speak his mind helped Theo gain some confidence back within himself and affirmed his skills. Adelaide, however, didn’t feel the same but Theodore chose to ignore her in favor of being his own man.

Throughout his adolescent life, Theodore grew up and became just the kind of person [i]he[/i] wanted to be and not the person Adelaide wanted. He became a protector for his siblings, a confidant for his family, and, if some might pardon of the French, a fucking stud! His love for art had eventually surpassed the blank canvas of a sketchpad and he began treating his love for art by using his body as the masterpiece. Confidence improved when his body became more toned and when he had achieved a muscle mass he could be proud of. Then near the end of his senior year, when he was of age, on his 18th birthday -- and much to the dismay of his parents (mostly his mother, though -- Theo began his long journey of treating his body as a literal canvas for his designs as he inked it into his skin and getting his very first tattoo.

The reaction was, if nothing else, controversial. On one hand, Theodore was an adult in the eyes of American law, so he didn’t commit a crime but at the same time, with how rigid and strict Adelaide was, there were fights to be had and screaming matches. So many flared tempers that resulted in an even stricter and harsher helicopter parent when it came to Theodore. But honestly? He didn’t care. He was eighteen and he could do what he wanted. If Adelaide wanted to be disappointed in him, then she was free to do so but he wasn’t about to let her control him anymore. What were a few months living under her radar for the next four years at a college without her and her God-forsaken rules?

He was finally free to be himself. When the day came that he was accepted, even before his siblings had a chance to do anything, Theodore had booked a flight for Meadow View, Vermont and checked in early to Meadow University. He was going to be his own person finally and nothing anyone could do about that.

In the words of a famous literary character: Theodore was a free elf!
