[name_m]Alexander[/name_m] " [name_u]Axel[/name_u] " [name_m]Willem[/name_m] [name_m]Dunstan[/name_m] (19) is Beau’s second roommate and the one he’s known since middle school. He’s always tried to avoid [name_u]Cass[/name_u], even when she and [name_u]Beau[/name_u] were dating because he didn’t exactly like her. It came as somewhat of a shock to him when he learned that his cousin, who’s practically a sister to him, recently became friends with [name_u]Cass[/name_u]. [name_u]Axel[/name_u] hopes his cousin won’t get hurt but worries that [name_u]Cass[/name_u] might be using her to get to [name_u]Beau[/name_u]. Unbeknownst to [name_m]Emil[/name_m], [name_u]Axel[/name_u] knows about the podcast Beau’s exes started. He stumbled across it one day and decided not to tell anyone. Sometimes he wonders how he managed to get so embroiled in this drama and chalks it up to becoming friends with [name_u]Beau[/name_u]. He doesn’t regret it though.
[name_u]Beau[/name_u] and his best friend were Axel’s first really good friends. He hadn’t been able to make good connections with anyone else until then. In high school [name_u]Axel[/name_u] was never a really big fan of parties but he’d come to Beau’s anyway and generally had a good time. He met his girlfriend at one of Beau’s parties in 11th grade and they’re still going strong.
[name_u]Axel[/name_u] is glad that Beau’s best friend convinced him to focus on himself and his friends instead of finding ‘The One’. [name_u]Axel[/name_u] doesn’t really believe in all that but understands that [name_u]Beau[/name_u] does. The reason for this being that [name_u]Axel[/name_u] and his girlfriend are almost complete opposites. If he had Beau’s mindset he probably wouldn’t have stayed long enough to see that they’re compatible in spite of the differences. His girlfriend is the life of the party, extroverted, and just a generally happy person. [name_u]Axel[/name_u] on the other hand is much quieter in comparison, enjoys spending time alone, and tends to be somewhat stoic. They get along wonderfully though as they’re both very kind people and can just enjoy each other’s company without doing much talking.
[name_u]Axel[/name_u] was adopted into a wonderful family and has four siblings who were all adopted as well. His older brother is 22 and was the first to be adopted as a newborn. Two years later Axel’s 20 year old sister was adopted as a baby. [name_u]Axel[/name_u] was adopted six years later as a 5 year old. His 17 year old sister was then adopted the next year when she was 4 and his 17 year old brother was adopted the year after at 5. They all have a strong bond and are fluent in Chinese and [name_u]French[/name_u] since two of Axel’s siblings are from those countries. Their parents wanted those siblings to still have connections to their heritage which is why the languages were spoken in the house along with [name_f]English[/name_f]. The family have taken trips to both [name_f]China[/name_f] and [name_u]France[/name_u] before and enjoyed the vacations.
