β¨Loyal | Once one becomes friends with Alfred, it is quite hard to make him distrust you. He often stands by his friends, even if he knows that their decisions may be wrong, he will support you.
β¨Friendly | Because he is so kind, Alfred attracts various people and is able to befriend them all, no matter gender, race or past.
β¨Quick Learner | Alfred is a very quick learner. It doesn't take him long to memorize something or learn of a quirk or habit one of his friends does or have.
β¨Thoughtful | Alfred, while not the sharpest tool in the shed of human emotions, is quite thoughtful and will put others before him, even if he may not gladly do so.
Negative Traits
β¨Low Self-Esteem and Confidence | Alfred has very low confidence and self-esteem. While he does value himself and know that people love him, Alfred is always desperately trying to improve himself- whether it be through 'dieting' and exercise, or trying to make himself a better person by down grading himself as less important than others. Because of this, Alfred often refrains on what he thinks and simply goes in silence even if he is in pain.
β¨Oblivious | Alfred is oblivious to human emotion and surroundings.
β¨Easily Depressed | Despite Alfred acting happy most of the time, he easily gets depressed over simple things. This in turn, damages his self esteem even more which makes him desperately want to improve even more.
β¨Over Working | He is not afraid of over-exerting himself and will often catch himself doing it and more than not, he will continue to do this. For some odd reason, Alfred has this image he can never attain stuck in his head; something only he thinks will be reached if he works hard and this work is often resulting him doing more damage than good.
Talents and Skills
β¨Cooking | Alfred is a genuine cook. He is able to make anything tasty out of almost nothing.
β¨Swimming | Despite his dislike of water, Alfred can swim like a fish; his specialty is underwater swimming as he is not only quick, but can hold his breath surprisingly well.
β¨Eating | Alfred will always be up for trying new things- especially food. He will try new food willingly and with the most pleasure and curiosity his body can bring forth.
Weaknesses
β¨Criticisms about his weight or looks | Because Alfred is so meticulous about these things, he will take each comment as a criticism and try to improve to his best ability.
β¨Thunderstorms | Even the slightly sound of thunder or a singular flash of lightening, Alfred will be on edge and nervous; if the storms are horrid, he may even go into a panic attack.
β¨Sex | Sex of any kind makes Alfred queasy, causing him shake or cry. Even flirtation or touching makes him extremely uncomfortable and makes him feel nauseous. Although, talking of a friend's sex life or sex in general doesn't have much affect on Alfred.

Brief Appearance Description
Alfred isn't fit, muscular or even slim. He is a slightly chubby boy whose muscles don't show and who jiggles more than he'd like to admit to. While he is chubby, he isn't exactly considered fat and his stomach doesn't hang over his belt nor does it even protrude outwards much, though it does appear that he has a rather plush stomach. Al's arms are muscle than fat, but they appear fluffy more than muscular due to how his body is proportioned. While Al is a bit chubby, his face is rather girlish and cute; he's got a somewhat slim facial shape with bright blue eyes that are complimented with long eyelashes and a small button nose. Due to Alfred's generally girly face, he is often mistaken for a girl or a young boy because of how young he appears to be. Because Alfred tries his best to look his best, he often wears shirts and pants that compliment his odd figure, though it won't be odd to see him wearing a sweater twice his size in some fitted jeans or a plain suit and tie.
Due to the events that occurred a year or so ago, Al's mother is worried and spoke to the school which also thought it was a wonderful idea to send Al here so that he would be able to see the different paths he could potentially take in life; he was also sent here so that he could observe how other students who also had a rough time are able to move on with their lives for the better and to help speed up his recovery.

Family Description
Al has an overall healthy relationship with his mother and deceased father. In fact, he is much closer to his mother than any other family member at the moment, while he was close to his father as a child and his father's death hit him hard. His step father and him, on the other hand, are no where near in any kind of family relationship; while Al cannot seem to hate him, he definitely is frightened of him as well as resentful towards him.
Brief Bio
Alfred was born to loving parents who where financially supported; he was a planned child and his parents had been married since they where 18 and still madly in love with each other. Al was closer to his father, a high school teacher that would visit him during school and spend time with Al during his lunch breaks. While he was the only child and spent some of the time alone at the house, Alfred was very happy and could never ask for more.
His mother worked at her family's bakery and would bring home sweets or baked goods she spent the day cooking; if no one ate her food, she'd become troublesome and complain. Al, being the child he was and wanting to please his parents, would indulge in such sweets and meals to silence his mother and make her happy. While he was always a chubby child, Al never seemed to mind because he had two loving parents who enjoyed the way he was and never wanted him to change.
During the time Al was twelve, his world turned upside down when his father was hit and killed by a semi driver who had fallen asleep at the wheel. Him and his mother where devastated, both emotionally and financially. His father was no longer there to take him to school, nor was he present to even care for Alfred when his mother was at the bakery. Because of this, Al's mother fell into a desperate and panicky depression; she felt as though she was a horrible mother and was unfit to care for a child alone.
This idea of being unfit for her own son caused his mother to remarry quickly, to a man who was a regular customer at the bakery, William. Will was very friendly and nice, especially to Al; while Alfred was still depressed about his father, Will always seemed to cheer him up with gifts and games. Will would spend the day with Al to try and get him to stop crying. For a brief moment, Al was very happy.
When Alfred was fourteen, Will made his first pass on Al; it started with sneaking into his room at night to sleep with him and ended up escalating to feeling around and before Al knew it, he was a rape victim to the man who had been his step father for a year now. Afraid to tell his mother and overall confused on what had happened, Al stayed quiet and dreaded the night.
This continued for a year before Al began to get so afraid, he'd go into panic attacks, as Will would become more rougher and much more frightening. He began to verbally and physically abuse Al, not only during the night but also in the day; he did it so often that it made Al feel insecure about his entire being and before anyone really noticed anything, Al stopped eating and coming home. He couldn't stand being inside that house and desperately wanted help but was much too insecure to tell his mother or anyone for that matter.
It didn't take long before Al's mother began to notice things- Al sleeping over friends' houses of which she never met or even heard of, the way he avoided contact all together, the bruises he blamed on his own clumsiness, the way his cheekbones began to become more prominent and the way he acted around Will. Even when she confronted Al about all of this, he denied it in fear.
It was Al's sixteenth birthday that she took Will and him out to celebrate his birthday; tired of Al denying a lot of things, she confronted him and Will at the same time, thinking that perhaps Will had something to do with this drastic change. Will denied it but Al stayed silent, avoiding eye contact. This was when suspicion rose in his mother, making her become uncomfortable around Will.
This did not please Will at all and made him furious. Later that week, he quietly tip toed his way to Al's room once more, but this time, Al did not come out with only bruises but suffered a grisly gash above his hip from a Swiss Blade. Al, bleeding from the hip screamed loudly and began to thrash around, sending him into an intense panic attack that practically knocked him unconscious.
When Alfred awoken, he was met with his grieving mother and the police who were trying to understand her words between her sobs. Even without knowing what was going on for sure, Al knew the gist of what had happened- Will was arrested and he was safe from any future abuse. He was released from the hospital and him and his mother moved away from the town.
Alfred needed this move and when they settled down in their new house, he began to eat again and even if it was only a little, his mother happy. Al's mother soon opened up a small store that sold baked goods and prepackaged items; while it wasn't exactly what she wanted, she was happy. Alfred helped her out there, taking a short pause on school.
When he was able to attend school, his mother had realized the total extent of the damage Will had on him. Alfred, while he made friends, was incredibly awkward around them and began to have panic attacks whenever someone touched him. He began to take extra care of himself and started to focus on his looks excessively; even when Al began to eat more, he always watched his weight and tried to exercise- although it did little change due to him starving himself from before. She was even contacted by the school for his worrisome behaviors and habits; worried, his mother and the school decided it might be best to send him to the summer program in hopes of accelerating his recovery and open up new doors for Al.
