            ◊ RELIABLE If you give Addy a task of any sort, you’ll know with no doubt whatsoever that he’ll accomplish it. And he’s not just limited to tasks; as long as he’s given the who/what/when’s, he’ll be sure to be there or do that.
            ◊ SIMPLE Addy doesn’t really care beyond the present and even then just barely. It doesn’t take very much to make him happy or content, though admittedly it also means he usually takes things people say at face value.
            ◊ APPRECIATIVE Alongside his simplicity, Add can see the beauty in nearly any and everything. Among his favorites are breezes in the field, patches of clover, and the absolute best naps.
            ◊ PATIENT Addy sees no point in rushing or pushing himself more than he truly needs to. No matter what as long as you’re going somewhere you’ll get there eventually, so why dirty yourself up by trying to get there fast? Who are you really beating?? Yourself?? Weird.
            ◊ PERSUASIVE Just because he’s patient however, doesn’t mean that on occasion, Addy can’t talk a certain situation into his favor. His gentle and simplistic ways usually work in getting the animals to do what he needs, why shouldn’t the same work for people?
            ◊ APATHETIC Truthfully though, as long as everything is ok with him, Addy sees no reason to change…anything really. He likes his life as it is, and he feels he’s gotten a good grasp of it. Why fix what’s not broken?

            CHILDHOOD Adlai was actually born Ada, the last of five children to a farming family. His mother immigrated from Nigeria when she was a teen and worked at a market while going to school. This is where she met his English father who came from a long line of farmers and who also sold stock at the same market. While she liked him, she was afraid he only liked her as a commodity so she remained aloof to his obvious affections. Which was easy when she was away at school and could focus on magic rather than how his eyes reminded her of the freshed honey. Kaylan eventually won her over (how was apparently a stuff of legend who’s story kept changing depending on which adult you asked) but suffice, A’isha said yes and moved with him to a healthy stretch of land and began the start of their plentiful family. Ada didn’t feel different immediately, afterall their older sisters got dirty working the same jobs as the brothers and all toys eventually got shared with one another so it wasn’t glaringly obvious. At least until she was five and very politely told her father that she was tired of waiting for her p***s to grow. After that, Ada was soon Adlai and life continued on the farm, just with more medicines and doctor visits than before. It was discovered by his second oldest brother Haniya that he had a certain way with the more unruly of the animals, namely the sheep and pigs, so that became his solo job to the relief of the others. Honestly he very much didn’t mind. Sure the sheep could sometimes be annoying, especially when they kept trying to amble away after he had very clearly told them not to, but by far his favorites were the pigs. Those large, loud, squeaky things, God he loved them. They were the only animals he actually cried whenever it was time to sell or slaughter, to the point where he can’t even eat pork. As expected, his schooling letter arrived just as all his siblings had and he was whisked away by his mother to gather his supplies to start at Hogwarts. A’isha was saddened none of her children got to experience her own alma mater, but she supposed it was much easier to see her children, which was a definite plus. Addy is excited to learn magic, though a bit saddened and apprehensive to leave his farm. What if none of his siblings played the right flute songs for his babies!?

            SCHOOL YEARS
                ◊ FIRST YEAR Addy's first year at school was both intimidating and also not quite as bad as he'd been expecting. There was so many spots he could nap in! And there was a whole club dedicated to being outside and just breathing, it was awesome! He was a bit sad though that it was his sister's last year so he wouldn't see her at school anymore but she'd tried to have time for him in between her studying and showed him all sorts of neat places. She'd also kept throwing him at clubs and people to "be more social." Ugh. Sisters.
                ◊ SECOND YEAR It had been werid gong to school knowing that there weren't any other Rowntrees there, but Addy persisted. He even joined another club! It was yoga and he fell asleep more often than not, but it was something. Classes were ok, he sometimes had to be reminded to actively participate but at least his grades weren't lacking. He even participated in the end of year festival and his tea bags were a surprising hit. He's wondering if he could maybe talk his parents into adding it to the farmer's market shelf.
