Personality Traits

Focused – Courageous - Calm – Witty – Outspoken – Intense – Stubborn

Growing up in Palm Beach surrounded by a million cousins it was hard for MacKenna to stand out. So she decided she wouldn’t even try instead she focused on being the best at whatever she set her mind to. That way she learned how to do a ‘Backside Flip’ while skateboarding before her childhood friends much to the latter’s chagrin. But growing up around so many different personalities also meant she had to learn how to stand up for herself and others. The others quickly learned that Mac was not one to be messed with and if they did they would be met with a razor-sharp comment or even a slap to the face. With being that intense the young girl found it hard to make new friends outside of her cousins and family friends. When she made the move to Vermont together with her best friend and cousin Lottie she decided to soften a little and let more people into her circle of friends.

Upbringing Synopsis

It was a windy and cold February night when a 17-year-old Jiaying gave birth to a healthy little girl in a small village near Shenzhen, China. It was with tears in her eyes that the young girl handed over her little baby girl to the woman that had come from the adoption agency. The last thing little Jiaying said as the woman walked away was “Just make sure she gets a nice life!”.

And that’s what Archer and Kavan swore they would do when they read the profile of the little girl they would soon call their own. The trip to China was probably the longest in the young men’s lives. But it was all worth it when that little baby with the chubby cheeks laid her small eyes on the pair. They both fell in love instantly.

Growing up in a neighborhood with predominantly white people. MacKenna has always known she was different, hell, most of her family was blonde and blue-eyed. Add to that having two gay dads and middle school was pretty hard for little Mac. There were many times where the little girl came home teary-eyed from being teased at school. Her fathers always told her to be proud of who she was and where she comes from and then she had her godmother who taught her to take no one’s bullshit and always stand up for what she believed was right.

MacKenna really grew into her own when she reached high school. She took all of the learnings and applied them to her day to day life. It worked, and instead of sticking out like a sore thumb she was seen as someone that was different and interesting. Though it did help that her cousin and best friend Lottie was gorgeous and popular which skyrocketed her status quite a bit.

Though she loved her life in Palm Beach and her family Mac always knew she wanted to try a life away from the safety of her home and fathers. Her mind was set on Meadow University from an early age. It really was her dream school and that the school has one of the best linguistics programs in the country just sealed it for MacKenna. Her Junior and Senior years where spent mostly in the library with her head in a book. But her sacrifice of her social life payed of and she graduated from King's Academy top of her class and valedictorian which earned her an academic scholarship to MU.

Appearance Details

• Hair: Chestnut | Thick | Meticulously styled
• Eyes: Powder blue
• Height: 6’ 2”
• Body Type: Tall and lean.
• Clothing Style:
  Bastién likes to dress proper and some would say a bit preppy. He likes to gravitate to buttoned-down shirts combined with blazers and casual chinos or knitted sweaters with jeans. Everything designer of course. He loves going hunting for vintage labels and does so almost every weekend.
• Scars, Tattoos and/or Piercings:
  He has a thin scar running over his knuckles from when his brother slammed the piano cover down on him when they were kids.
  
  Tattoos are strictly forbidden in the Bonfamille household.

Personality Traits

Quiet – Mischievous - Creative – Responsible – Loyal – Snarky – Naive – Snobbish

Out of his siblings, Bastién takes after their mother more than the other two. He can be seen as calm and quiet, two kinds of virtue that his mother Adelaide valued as “Most becoming of a lovely gentleman!”. She always pushed her children to concern themselves with self-improvement and the obedient son that he was he kept to it with his piano playing and got to the level he is now, which is that of a concert pianist. One of his many hobbies is to take classical pieces and put his own creative modern twist on it.

Growing up in the gilded environment that the Bonfamille children did, made Bastién very hard to impress and easily bored so he likes to cause trouble where he can. If you don’t watch out you might find yourself being pranked without even knowing it. He is also one to quickly get annoyed and is usually the first to give a snide look and a snarky comment to something that he doesn’t like. Some may say that he is a snob and a half but you can’t really blame him for the way his parents chose to raise him and his siblings. He is used to the finer things in life and will not settle for anything less than.

Bastién is the more responsible of the three children. This means that he gets tasked with whatever their parents throw his way, be it organizing the annual Bonfamille charity ball held at the university or making sure that his brother and sister show up to their weekly dinners. He does this begrudgingly because he likes being praised by his parents and he loves his brother and sister over all else. He is someone you can trust and in return, he will trust you if he calls you his friend to the point that some might call him naive. Because in his eyes why would a friend betray him?

Upbringing Synopsis

Thomas and Adelaide Bonfamille always wanted to have the perfect child to continue the long lineage of the Bonfamille name. But as both of them were kept busy with their careers it got put on the back burner for some time. When they decided it was time to try it would turn out getting pregnant was easier said than done. After trying for 2 years with no luck, the couple decided to try IVF. And lucky they did because not only did Adelaide become pregnant with one perfect child, three little heartbeats could be heard when she and Thomas went in for the first ultrasound.

Nine months after that on March 19th, 2000 Theodore, Madeleine, and Bastíén came into the world. From the very start, the children were privy to the lifestyle that the Bonfamille name brought with it. Which is to say lush. Whatever they wanted they had. But this of course came with pressure from their parents for them to live up to Thomas and Adelaide’s expectations for them to grow up to be “A lovely lady and gentlemen” as their mother often put it. So whenever they put a foot out of line they often got hit with a “Now that’s just not the behavior of an aristocrat” or a “Stop that, that’s horrible.”. And if the answer wasn’t a curt “Yes, Mama.” they would never hear the end of it. All of this came from a place of love of course. Adelaide wanted the best for her miracle children and she wanted them to presented as just that, the best. Even though her job kept her away from her babies she made sure they got the best education and extracurricular activities such as piano lessons, art teachers, a spot on a top-ranked ballet troupe or vocal coaches.

Their father Thomas was a bit more lenient when letting his children be children. He would often put money in their secret personal accounts so they could do whatever they wanted. Maybe to make up for him not being around much, but for him, that was the best way he could keep track of what his children were up to.

This, in turn, made the siblings near inseparable. Sure, they all had different interests and occasionally they would have a small argument here and there but they always made up in the end. Now that they are attending Meadow University they all have found their own ways to go, but in the end, they always find time for each other. It is a time-honored tradition in the Bonfamille family to have dinner together once a week.

Meadow University has always been the Ivy League school that the siblings were destined to attend. Their family had gone there for three generations, so there was no talk about them going to any other school or god forbid not going to school at all. Even though Bastién felt like academics where an utter wast of time, he always did what was expected of him. And if he would’ve opted out of going to Meadow University he would have been cut off quicker than he could play the finale of Beethovens Moonlight Sonata.

Rosefell High.

Maybe it was the huge fire that was going on behind her but there was a pleasant warmth in the air as Aramintah sat looking out at the still lake. A small sigh escaped the young girl as she looked around her for her friends. Had they really ditched her? Would they do that? No surely not. Her question was answered almost instantly when she felt the warm embrace of Eli coming from behind.

“Ooh finally…” Minty sighed as she leaned back into her friend. “It’s been 84 years.” The girl croaked as she tilted her face upwards so she could look at his face while he talked.

She held his arms tight around her while she returned her gaze toward the still lake again. “Nope… I’m guessing she’s thinking of an excuse to flake on us.” Minty huffed.

The friends spent some time chatting as they always did when they were alone. That’s why Eli was one of Minty’s best friends… hell one of her only friends. Talking to him or Lana just came so effortlessly to her. Their conversation was interrupted by the small figure of Alana Kingsley stomping over to them complaining that she was forced to come. Aramintah reluctantly got out of Eli’s embrace and turned to face her small friend rolling her eyes as she did so.

“Come on Lana! What else were you going to do tonight?” she gestured getting up walking over and giving Lana a hug. “And besides…” she continued grabbing Alana’s shoulders turning her around to face away from them. Directing her gaze towards the two boys having a discussion. “Both of your wet dreams are standing right there!” Minty cackled almost jumping up and down. “So either you can make your move… or you can fantasize about a potential threesome!” she let go of Lana and crossed her arms looking at the young men who seemed to be in an argument.

Palm Beach Royals: Senior Year

“I don’t know what to tell you Aggie… she said it had to do with Millie… you know how she got towards the end.” Max said softly looking at his younger sister in the rearview mirror.

“Whatever... “ Agnes Wallenberg whispered in the back seat of Max’s truck with her arms folded staring out of the window clearly ignoring her big brother. He knew Agnes and Kellie had been friends but he had no idea that they were this close. The large teen opened his mouth again to say something but decided against it. Instead, he just focused on the road leading towards their cousin’s house.

When the white cabana style house came into view Max parked right out front and got out of the truck. Mr. and Mrs. Diedrikson was seated on the porch drinking their morning coffee. Max grinned widely and stretched out his hand in greeting!

“Good morning Garrett, Jessica! Is Archie ready?” he called over to them from behind the large red vehicle.

“Who knows with that one…” Garrett huffed his wife slapped him on the forearm standing up.

“I’ll go check for you Max” Jessica smiled at her nephew and went inside.

Garrett put down his newspaper and stood up leaning on the banister “So you ready for lacrosse season to start Max? Training hard I hope?” the man asked with a twinkle in his eyes. “I know Warren is on a tight regimen… I’m guessing Magnus has put you on one as well?” He asked.

“You know it! Can’t have me slacking for two months until the season starts!” Max let out a booming laugh.

“No, you’ve got that right! King’s has a reputation to uphold… you know being 5 times Champions. It would be a shame if the captain after Warren didn’t continue that streek and…” before Garrett could finish his statement the door opened and Jessica and Archer stepped out. Archer slung his bag over his shoulder clearly annoyed at his parents.

“Who cares…” He whispered under his breath as he passed his father almost at a jog towards his cousins.

Max jovial face faltered only for a split-second at his uncle’s comments but then settled back into his usual wide smile more directed at his cousin. With a quick wave goodbye to his aunt and uncle he got back into his truck.

“Archie! What’s up my man?” He laughed as he grabbed Archer’s hand in a bro handshake.

The smaller boy’s arm shook violently as he grinned at his large cousin. “Yeah not much dude, thanks for picking me up! My piece of crap car wouldn’t start yesterday and I would rather jump off a cliff than have my dad drive me in excruciating silence.” he scoffed.

“I can’t imagine why…” Max quipped with a grin

Archer then turned around to Agnes “Hey Aggs! You alright?”. The girl just smiled and shrugged her shoulders. Archer gave Max a quizzical look as he turned back to face forward. Max just shook his head indicating not to dig any further.

The car sped down the road towards Kings Academy while the cousins listened to the radio. It wasn’t too long until the Dodge pulled into the senior parking lot. “Oh hey, we missed you at family dinner last Sunday!” Max stated as he slung his blazer over his shoulder.

“Yeah, thanks for that by the way…” Agnes said as she passed them both holding up her hand as a parting wave not even turning around.

Max chuckled “Uh... Mom and Jessica kinda cornered her and interrogated her about you.” sighing he locked his truck.

“Shit… Yeah, I have been avoiding being at home for a while because… stuff. So I’ve been an honorary Castillo for the past week and a half.” Archer laughed meekly running his hands through his hair as the pair walked towards the gates.

The taller teen peered at Archer thinking for a moment “Well… I hope your stuff got worked out then”

Archer let out a huge sigh “I think I did… actually.” he smiled up at Max.

The courtyard had a few groups of students milling about filling up the picnic tables that were strewn about. One table, in particular, was sticking out. A lone girl with striking red hair sat alone absentmindedly twirling a piece of said hair in her fingers. In her other hand, she clutched a huge thermos mug.

Archer nodded towards the table “I actually need to talk to Red… I’ll see you later?”

Max smirked and nudged his smaller cousin with his elbow “Watch this!” he said cupping his hands around his mouth as they approached the table.

Max took a deep breath “YO MACMILLAN!” he bellowed.

Julie MacMillan almost jumped out of her seat from the shock of being yelled at this early in the morning. A face of pure disgust grew upon the young woman’s face as she spotted who was screaming.

“Looking good as usual Julie! You heard anything from Chrissie?” he asked as he sat down on the edge of the table in front of her.

Julie put down her mug crossing her arms in front of her “Yes… Why do you care? Is Jason ready to apologize?” she muttered.

Max scoffed “That dickhead hasn’t spoken to anyone of us all break so no! And besides…”

A slender hand stopped the jock from continuing “I really don’t care Max… and shouldn’t you be of impregnating some poor freshman?” the redhead spat venomously as her unfaltering stare pierced the large jock.

Archer muffled a laugh as he stepped forward from behind Max “Dude accept defeat and move along!” he put a reassuring hand on his large shoulder before sitting down next to Julie.

“See you after school Arch…” Max grumbled as he walked off towards the school.

Julie and Marcher watched his broad back disappear into the crowd. “I can’t believe you two are related…” she whispered.

“Only by blood” Archer drawled.

“So what can I do for you Archer?” Julie asked packing away her mug in her large bag.

The curly-haired boy dived down into his bookbag and retrieved a bunch of papers. “So monsieur Boussard posted the curriculum for A.P French yesterday!” He said laying it out in front of her. “And as you can see most of our grade is going to be based on an essay… that has to be written entirely in academically correct French.”

A well-manicured eyebrow rose as the girl looked back up from the papers “And?” she probed.

Archer sighed “And as much as I hate to admit it… you are better than me in French. So…_{will you be my partner?}”

She leaned in putting her hand behind her ear “Sorry?” she asked, “Be your?” Julie smirked.

The boy rolled his eyes “Partner…” Archer said through gritted teeth.

“Yes, I will” The redhead smiled fondly standing up smoothing her skirt. “I’ll see you forth period then? I need to go find Chanel.”

“Sweet.. yes.” Archer said gathering his papers stuffing them back into his bag. “Oh and I think Marisol wants to speak with you.” he said looking up at the girl.

“Oh I’ll make sure to go find her later. See you later Archer” Julie said hiking her bag up her shoulder turning towards the main building making her way to it. She had been meaning to mend her relationship with the feisty girl but hadn’t really known how to do it.

Archer turned watching Julie’s red hair swing as she walked away. He looked around the crowd looking for his boyfriend. If it was something he wanted it was walking into King’s with the boy he loved.

Rosefell High.

“So how was the start of your last year at that godawful school?” Minty’s big brother Iwan asked from behind her computer screen. The siblings made sure to stay in contact even now that Iwan had gone off to college. Without sticking together they would both perish under the pressure that their parents put on them.

It was a good thing Minty had her back to the laptop or Iwan would have seen her roll her eyes which he hates. “It’s hell! But whatever it’ll be over soon right?” Aramintah drawled as she spread the oil paint with her pallet knife over the canvas she was working on. “And besides it’s not like my grade from freaking Rosefell will get me anywhere…” she continued.

Her brother let out a small laugh “Don’t be so sure little sister. You never know when you might need them.” he paused. Minty knew where this was going and was bracing for Iwan’s inevitable words. “So… Uhm… Have you thought about… any colleges?”, there it was.

Minty spun around in her chair staring straight into the laptop’s camera “Dude you know I haven’t… Did mom ask you to ask again? God Iwan… really?” she huffed looking at his embarrassed face on the screen. “I thought you were on my side!” she exclaimed.

“Minty! Of course, I am… But you know how mom gets.” Iwan defended himself.

The dark-haired girl just grunted and went back to her painting. “Whatever… I need to get ready for this lake thing anyway. I’ll talk to you later.” she said wiping her hands lazily on a wet cloth. Her hands were stained from the paints no matter how much she rubbed them and after a few seconds she gave up.

“Alright bye sis…” Iwan sighed and logged off.

Slapping the laptop shut Minty walked over to her small closet and picked out an outfit for the night. A few minutes of sprucing up and she was out of the house. As she rode her bike she could feel the irritation from her and Iwan’s conversation ebb away and as she got closer to the lake she could hear the music and the murmur of voices, that got her excited.

She locked her bike against a tree fishing out her phone as she did so. Her thumbs tapping away absentmindedly as she walked slowly towards the party. She sent her two best friends each a text message to let her know she was there:

_{TO: Lana}

_{TO: Eli}

When she had sent them Aramintah took a lap trying to see if she knew anyone that where there already… she didn’t. She grabbed a wine cooler from the refreshments table as she headed to a small jetty where she sat down looking at the calm lake.

Palm Beach Royals: Senior Year

The Wallenberg Christmases was always a big fanfare. They invited their whole family from all over the country and even relatives from Sweden came over. It was a week of food and family activity. Which for Max meant chasing after his little cousins and keeping them all in check while the adults were busy comparing who had the better life. Max didn’t mind though it kept his mind of what was going on in his life. Kellie had moved not only out of his life but even out of the state. Someone had broken into their lacrosse supplies and destroyed all their shit.

So taking care of a pack of toddlers was actually a nice change of pace. But now the winter break was coming to an end and it was time to get back into action. Him and his father had put together a huge training and diet regimen that he followed religiously so the day before he was supposed to go back to King’s for his final semester he got up at the crack of dawn to run 5k. As he returned home he swung the front door open to find his big sister Elin standing there waiting for him.

“Daddy wants me to come with you to buy all your new equipment! He doesn’t trust you to not go overboard.” She smirked and rolled her eyes.

Max let out a booming laugh as he took of his running shoes. Of course Magnus Wallenberg wanted to buy the team new equipment. He was together with Garrett Diedrikson the biggest donator to the lacrosse cause. “Yeah sure let me just take a shower and I’ll be right down” he said as he passed his sister and bounded up the stairs.

After a quick shower the two eldest Wallenberg siblings sat in the big burgundy dodge ram speeding down the road towards downtown.
