Felix typically places comfort above all else. Chance are if you bump into him on the street, he'll be wearing one of two outfits - Number one, an oversized jumper to hide his lanky frame, black skinny jeans and his signature tattered vans. Number two, an oversized graphic tee, those same black skinny jeans and vans, occasionally paired with a red flannel jacket. When forced to dress up nicely, Felix often opts for a plain black shirt, black pants and his old dress shoes his mother bought him when he was around 15 and can still just about squeeze his feet into. Felix has his left ear pierced but rarely wears an earring in it anymore, it's simply a relic of his edgier 14 year old days.

Felix is a pretty boy. No matter how hard he may dispute that fact, it's impossible to deny. His rather feminine appearance gives him a youthful look which doesn't help the constant teasing, with people always telling him he has a 'baby-face'. Felix's skin is unusually smooth for a boy of seventeen and he's never really struggled with spots, in fact, his face has almost always been entirely blemish free. His height almost seems wrong with a face like his, but alas, Felix is definitely a tall guy. Lanky, is the word most use, which Felix especially hates. The fact that he is so tall and slender is a cause for much insecurity in Felix's life, which is why he tends to hide his body behind baggy t-shirts and jumpers.

L I K E S
Felix has always loved art, as well as just about anything creative. He's also a massive fan of music preferring old classics or indie songs. Alice in wonderland was Felix's absolute favourite book as a child, and even now he still deeply enjoys sketching his own versions of the characters. In fact, Felix has always been an avid reader, there's just something about books, especially old books, that draws in Felix. Wilson is the family cat, and whilst to many it may seem like blasphemy, Felix has always preferred cats over dogs. Other favourites of Felix include piping hot coffee, gigs, thrillers and romance.
D I S L I K E S
Ironically, Felix hates cheaters quite possibly the most out of everything, although that may be something he needs to reconsider - due to his own wrongdoings. Not only that, but rudeness and cruelty are dislikes that Felix shares with just about everyone in the world. However Felix also harbours less broad dislikes, for example, he's always had a phobia of dogs ever since he was bitten as a child; speaking of getting bitten, anything vampire related is enough to make Felix roll his eyes in despair for the rest of his days. Other things that Felix dislikes include needles, apples, heavy metal music and rom-coms.

P E R S O N A L I T Y
Thoughtful | Insecure | Creative | Pessimistic
(i)
Felix has always been the kid who would rather make someone a gift than buy something thoughtless from the store. He's the guy who will happily give you whatever you may need but could never ask for anything in return. Sure, this makes him incredibly susceptible to being taken advantage of, but Felix just can never say no whenever a friend is in need. This was perhaps the one trait Autumn exploited the most about Felix, she knew all he really wanted was to look after everyone else, and so, knew that he could never turn her down. Many people in Felix's life have used this to their benefit but he still cannot find the strength to stop being so readily available to get hurt, why? Perhaps he doesn't think he's as important as everyone else, or perhaps he sees this as the one thing that makes people like him, and he really just doesn't want to be alone.
(ii)
Following on from the previous trait, we delve into one within the same vein - Felix's insecurity. Since childhood Felix has had a strong inferiority complex. You may believe growing up around such strong characters like his siblings and even Autumn would shape Felix to become more like them, but rather, it has pushed him into the shadows that their massive personalities cast. Mostly, Felix is insecure about his appearance, having been called scrawny since he can remember takes a toll on a person. The only thing that makes Felix feel better is covering up his body with baggy clothing - something that doesn't stop the teasing, but rather causes it to become about how his clothing always looks so slovenly. He knows that he should just ignore everyone and do whatever the hell he wants, but Felix just doesn't have the confidence. Not yet, anyway.
(iii)
Being creative runs in Felix's family. With his mother being a clothing designer, and his father a journalist, it was always just a given that Felix would inherit that same passion for creating something unique. The one thing Felix feels like Autumn genuinely loved about him, was the fact that he would always do little sketches of her, alone or with their friendship group, there was something about her that just drew Felix to Autumn. Perhaps it was rather narcissistic of her, but Autumn always wanted to be drawn by Felix, she even demanded he make her a portrait for her upcoming eighteenth birthday - a piece that is still sitting in the corner of Felix's room, destined to stay half completed. Since she died, Felix has felt that some of his creative has seemed to ebb away, maybe it's because he feels so down, or perhaps because Autumn was his muse for so long that he simply just does not know what to even draw anymore. He can't concentrate, whenever he puts pencil to paper the only thing that pops into his head is her face.
(iv)
Perhaps the least obvious trait of his, is Felix's sheer pessimism. Now it's not particularly based on those around him, or even life, but rather his sour view on himself casts such a shadow over Felix's life that it's hard for him to think positively about himself, his relationships or even his future. He has no shortage of encouragements for his friends and family, but when it comes to motivating himself, Felix finds that all he can think is 'I'm going to fail' or when talking to people, 'they hate me already'. Tying in with his insecurity, it seems to go hand-in-hand with his pessimism. This isn't something Felix would ever let show, however, and just like his insecurities, he tries to keep it under wraps. Which he probably does better with the pessimism than his insecurity, just because the latter is so obviously written all over his face whenever anyone speaks about his appearance.

Ayla Davenport (nee. Yilmaz) | Mother | 54 | Small time fashion designer
Felix has always had a strong connection with his mother. Like two kindred spirits, the pair just seem to understand each other - and while this is mostly good, it also means that Ayla always knows when somethings up with Felix, which makes lying to her all the more difficult. Out of both his parents, Felix is definitely closer with his mother.
Samuel Davenport | Father | 55 | Journalist for the local newspaper
While there's no doubt Felix admires his father for his drive and charisma, there's never been much of a father-son bond between them. Mutual respect, definitely, but their lack of closeness makes it hard for them to ever really connect.
Zehra Davenport | Sister | 13 | Student
Zehra is a very sweet girl, and Felix loves her dearly. While he's the elder sibling to both Zehra and Zachariah, he feels most protective over the former. There's something about Zehra's pure, loving nature that makes Felix want to shield her from the harsh reality of the outside world.
Zachariah Davenport | Brother | 15 | Student
Zach is like every annoying little brother, he's always teasing and getting on Felix's nerves but they will always love each other regardless. Although Felix is more protective over his sister, he probably has more in common with Zach who, like Felix, adores creative subjects, but he specialises more in music.

H I S T O R Y
Felix has never left Pennsylvania. Born and raised in Norwood, it's even rare for him to leave the confines of this little town - the only exception being when they travel to visit his paternal grandparents in Pittsburgh. Hell, even his parents were raised in Norwood where they became high school sweethearts, married, and eventually ended up raising their children.
Due to this, Felix has always been surrounded by the same groups of people, since kindergarten he's been friends with the majority of those he would count his 'core six' friends, and one he'd known all of his life. That someone being Autumn Pierce. Her mother and Felix's had met at a local pregnancy yoga class when they were both carrying Autumn and Felix, respectively. Becoming fast friends, the pair would always go for coffee or take baby classes together and that continued when the two babies were born.
It may seem like the pair were destined to be together, and in Autumn's eyes that was true. From the day she knew what love was, Autumn claimed she loved Felix. He, on the other hand, always thought of Autumn simply as his best friend. As kids, of course they had your typical fake weddings and loved to play house, but as they grew, Felix started to realise that Autumn genuinely had feelings for him - something that he didn't share. But how could he say no to his best friend of fifteen years?
Autumn always knew how to get Felix to do anything she wanted, whether it would get him into trouble or not. This, however, took a little more convincing than normal. Autumn claimed that they had to be together, that they were madly in love and that Felix just didn't understand their connection yet. Forever the people pleaser, on her sixteenth birthday, Autumn became Felix's girlfriend, and that she stayed until her death.
Now, that's not to say that just because they were dating the pair were happy. Perhaps Autumn was, for a while, but Felix always felt just a little uncomfortable whenever he had to introduce Autumn as his girlfriend. A few weeks before her death, Autumn and Felix began bickering - what about? He can hardly remember now, but he felt like she had picked up on just how unhappy he was in this forced relationship, which only made Autumn angry at him. She couldn't understand why Felix wouldn't want to be with her, in her eyes, Autumn was the perfect girlfriend.
Then, on the night of Autumn's apparent 'accident', Felix was at a party with a few of his friends. He got chatting to a pretty girl who said that she had just moved to Norwood - she fascinated Felix, having never really explored a relationship outside of his friendship group, he was immediately captivated by her smile and vast knowledge of the outside world. No one intended for it to happen, especially not Felix, but he found himself to be so attracted to this girl, in a way that he never could be attracted to Autumn. He just wanted to kiss her; and so he did. Big mistake.
Autumn had arrived at the party fifteen minutes earlier and had spent that time searching for her boyfriend. Unfortunately when she finally caught sight of him, he was locking lips with another girl. Even worse, that other girl turned out to be her new step-sister, Willow. She was beyond furious and through her tears managed to drag the boy outside to yell at him. After what felt like hours of her shouting and Felix incessantly apologising, Autumn hung her head and began walking off. Now usually Felix would have followed her, but something about the way she held herself as she turned her back on him made him think better of it. He'd hurt her enough, Felix thought, and so he decided to give her some space. When questioned by the police about that night, Felix conveniently forgot about the whole kissing incident and simply said that Autumn had arrived to the party upset before storming off.

T A L E N T S
Art || It's pretty obvious by now that Felix is a talented artist. His preferred style is usually simple sketches, but he has also dabbled in paintings, sculptures and collages.
Romance || Now, this isn't saying Felix is some kind of casanova, because quite frankly he's really not all that great at flirting. What he is great at, is romance - flowers, drawings, cute dates - you name it. Felix loves the idea of love, he just hasn't found it yet.
Swimming || As a child, Felix found a passion in swimming long before he fully realised how much he enjoyed creating. He was no professional, and rarely competed, but to this day Felix still loves the feeling of being completely submerged in the water, all noise being drowned out to a dull murmur.
W E A K N E S S E S
His Loved Ones || Felix would do anything for those he loves, which has often come at a cost to him. For that reason, it is possibly Felix's worst weakness.
Dogs || Being bitten as a toddler can really scar a person. Now Felix avoids dogs like the plague.
Lack Of Confidence || Clearly Felix lacks a lot of confidence. Something that in the long run may damage him since it makes it even harder for him to stand up to people.
