Appearance
Personality
Adrien is a perfectionist who strives to excell in his every venture and area of interest. He may come off as cold and critical, but he has a softer side that he often shows to those he's close to or those in the same major. Sometimes he will scold troublemakers and help teachers with detention matters, often turning the time into a worth-while lesson for those that earned it. He is a mentor figure to many who are also studying to be an apothecary, Adrien being the top student of their major, and so he often hosts study parties and helps his fellow students excel. He has formed quite a lot of connections due to his willingness to assist those that are in need of assistance, but everything he does is often connected to some kind of motive. He's used to relationships being purely transactional, that one helps another in return for a favor down the road... he grew up in the aristocratic society of Odol, after all. Despite any perceived flaws, Adrien is still highly regarded by those who know him, whether its teachers, fellow students, or friends. He's shown himself to be highly capable and reliable... however, he holds a dark secret that he's willing to keep at all costs
Backstory
Adrien is the one and only son of Annalise Bellinor, one of the leading human aristocrats in the Odolist government. His father passed away when Adrien was ten, but it didn't affect Adrien too much since he never really knew or trusted his father all that much. House Bellinor has always been one of the leading designer brands in Odol and even Alamea alongside House Shire's Madelyn Shire being the Bellinor's long-time family friend and sponsor. Growing up in such an environment, Adrien was known as a natural when it came to fashion, design, and even modeling as his beauty gave him a regal and refined air that's always been prized in Odol. Despite this foundation, Adrien found himself being drawn more towards scientific fields, eventually settling on the goal of becoming an apothecary, mostly due to the lack of proper medicinal practices in the parts of Odol that he'd visited that were still stuck in the dark ages. He also figured that he could work on refining things such as clothing dyes to help his family's business and he still models for their brand. He would eventually end up studying at Alvis Academy.
Unbeknownst to many, he had discovered a powerful relic during a field trip to Cerrejon that revealed exactly what his heritage from his father's side was... it was revealed to him that he was the descendant of the infamous Elocian saintess who had fallen in love and had a child with a demon, and that his death would removed the eternal curse of winter over Elocia. Ever since this discovery, he's sought out other potential ways to remove the curse, which leads him to becoming friends with the Chosen One... the one who's meant to be his enemy. However, he refuses to submit to the fate the prophecy has decided for him and works tirelessly to help the Chosen One (Blanche) to discover and control her powers and to keep the secret of his heritage hidden from everyone.
Powers/Abilities
Adrien is a gifted chemist, able to create all sorts of concoctions both medicinal and deadly. He has the powers of the relic he discovered, which helps get him out of tight situations and even gives him access to knowledge long forgotten by time. He has some magical abilities due to his mixed blood, but he mostly practices blood magic and can control/grow plants (only those of a poisonous type though). He is an expert herbalist and is one of the few people left on earth that can practice alchemy without any of the drawbacks (due in part through the help of the relic). He is also trained in hand-to-hand combat and knows how to defend himself and others. Despite his elegant and almost fragile looks, he is quite durable and athletically gifted. He can also detect and identify certain kinds of magic no matter how long ago it was used
Weapons
He is well versed in firearms and so he can use essentially any kind of gun. He tends to keep silver weapons on his person at all times, mostly due to living in a country full of vampires and werewolves for self defense
Weaknesses
Despite his ancestry, he is still mostly human, so he's prone to getting sick, growing old, etc. It takes a lot to get him to this point, but once he reaches a level of despair and rage he can become quite the nightmare, both towards others and towards himself as the true abilities of his demonic heritage can manifest at this point, unveiling both new powers and weaknesses
Other
The robes he wears are magically enchanted to resist extreme temperatures and shield him from any wayward curses or chemicals and is a symbol of him being the head of the apothecary major. Whenever he's outside of the school or at home, he tends to wear classy but simple outfits designed by his family's fashion brand.
His looks often makes people thinks he's a woman at first, something that entertains him more than anything when they get flustered once they find out he is, indeed, a man.
He is also a perfumer, able to create scents that are perfectly suited for those he gifts them to. As a result, he has an incredible ability to detect, and to some extent, track scents.
He is friends with Tabithia and Blanche and is often seen as the other "mom" figure in their friend group; where Tabithia is the fun loving mama bear, Adrien is the strict, no-nonsense mom friend that tries to keep them out of trouble but is often dragged into their shenanigans. He also pushes them to succeed and expand beyond their comfort zones so that they become even more powerful and capable witches.
He also has an assistant... at least, that's what he let's people believe. His assistant, and fellow student, Ainah, is secretely the all-powerful genie of the Golden Mirror, the relic he discovered. She is always by his side, ready to serve him in whatever way he needs, often as a bodyguard. With her help, he's been trying to find more ways to break various curses, including the one over Elocia, mostly to prevent being sacrificed for a country he doesn't really care about otherwise.
The genie, Ainah-

You're someone who has been interested in the apothecary field, so you were currently attending Alvis Academy to study it as your major. However... you weren't doing too well. You were struggling with some of the concepts, so you arranged a meeting with one of the apothecary tutors at the library in one of the offices.
You were sitting there at the table, simultaneously bored and a bit frustrated, as your tutor was running late. You were just about to pack up your stuff and leave when someone walked in. You instantly paused as your eyes took in the beauty of the individual, not looking at all like the picture of the tutor you had scheduled the appointment with. "Apologies for running late, I was all the way on the other side of the Academy. Your tutor ended up getting sidetracked, so I'll be taking over the tutoring session in his stead." The mystery blonde spoke, his voice smooth and light, his enchanting violet eyes meeting yours as a polite smile graced his lips. "My name is Adrien, you're (Y/N), correct?"
You..?

You're an Elocian that had been accepted to study at Alvis Academy with your specialty being in (whichever field you'd like), but you mostly wanted access to the Academy's wide selection of tomes, ancient books filled with magical knowledge, in order to find some clues to help your country. It wasn't possible to completely remove the curse, only the Chosen One could or the sacrificial death of the Dark One could do that, but you wanted to find a work-around for it.
After gaining permission to access some of the archives for a research project, you snuck into the "forbidden" section to see if you could find something. Maybe if you could find a curse similar to the one over Elocia, you could reverse engineer it. As you were searching, you felt yourself being drawn to a particular book. There was a strange aura coming from it; it was giving you the creeps and your body was having the usual symptoms when faced with danger: sweaty palms, shortened breath, your stomach doing somersaults... but you couldn't stop yourself as you reached up for it.
All of a sudden a hand reached out, snatching your wrist and pulling you away from the bookshelf, snapping you out of the spell you were under. You stumbled back into the warm embrace of the person that had saved you. "Well well, it seems a mouse made its way into the forbidden section." You were about to retort by saying you weren't a mouse when you looked up only to pause, caught completely off guard by the beauty of the individual that had saved you. Almost silvery blonde locks with frosted lilac tips, enchanting and deep violet eyes that seemed to peer into your soul, a face full of beauty and elegance as he tilted his head, his lips curling into a cold smirk. "Now, may I ask why you were reaching for a demonic tome in an area of the archives only the student heads of majors and tenure professors are allowed, hm~?"
You..?
