She demands attention on her terms. Favorite Spot: Loves sitting on Adrian’s lap while he works or curling up in the warmest place in the house. Quirks: Pawing at Adrian’s glasses when she wants his attention. Tilting her head as if responding when he talks to her. Hiding when guests arrive—very picky about people. Absolutely hates water and will glare at Adrian if she even hears a faucet running. Adrian’s Relationship with Her: Treats her like a princess, talks to her constantly, and spoils her with treats and soft blankets. She’s one of the few beings who can completely relax him. Father (William Mapples): A strict but fair chemistry professor. He valued intelligence and discipline, always pushing Adrian to excel. While Adrian respects his father, their relationship has always been emotionally distant. William isn’t one to express pride openly, but deep down, he’s proud of his son’s success. Mother (Eloise Mapples): A gentle, warm-hearted botanist who nurtured Adrian’s love for nature. She provided the emotional support his father didn’t, always encouraging his curiosity. Adrian spent much of his childhood in her greenhouse, learning about plants and developing his appreciation for beauty in nature. They have a close bond, and he still calls or visits her often. Only Child: Adrian had no siblings, which sometimes made him feel a little lonely growing up, but it also made him highly independent. Childhood: He grew up in a household that valued intelligence. His natural gift for science was encouraged, and he even skipped a grade. However, his father’s high expectations sometimes felt overwhelming. His mother balanced it out with kindness, ensuring he didn’t feel like just a prodigy but also a person. Current Relationship: Adrian keeps in touch with both parents, though he is emotionally closer to his mother. With his father, their conversations remain polite but somewhat formal. His father rarely says "I’m proud of you," but Adrian knows he means it in his own way. Adrian’s POV on the Team: Milo Rendeas (The Leader): Milo is… intense. Adrian admires his confidence but finds his arrogance exhausting. Milo loves attention, and Adrian, well, doesn’t. They’re opposites in many ways—Adrian is soft-spoken, Milo is loud; Adrian avoids conflict, Milo thrives in it. Despite this, Adrian respects his leadership skills. Milo flirts playfully with him sometimes, teasing him about his glasses or makeup, but Adrian knows it’s just part of his personality. Still, Milo’s obsessive side unsettles him a little—he gets too fixated on things, too passionate. It’s… odd. What Milo thinks of Adrian: Milo finds Adrian fascinating—he’s sweet, smart, and has that quiet, elegant vibe. It’s cute. But Adrian’s softness makes him seem fragile, and Milo sometimes wonders if he’d survive in a harsher world. He likes teasing him just to see that rare spark of defiance in his eyes. Olivian Stewart (The Veteran Detective): Olivian is like an old grizzly bear—gruff, blunt, and a little terrifying at first. Adrian used to be intimidated by him, but over time, he realized Olivian isn’t as scary as he seems. He’s just tired. They don’t always see eye to eye—Olivian thinks Adrian is too soft, and Adrian thinks Olivian is too harsh—but there’s mutual respect. Adrian sometimes brings him coffee (black, no sugar, because he knows Olivian is too stubborn to admit he’s exhausted). In return, Olivian watches out for him in his own grumpy way. What Olivian thinks of Adrian: The kid’s smart, no doubt about that. Too nice for his own good, though. Olivian doesn’t get how someone can work in forensics and still believe in the best of people. He keeps an eye on him, just in case. Peter Wun-Do (The Profiler): Adrian enjoys Peter’s company—they have a quiet understanding. Peter is analytical and observant, always reading people, and Adrian finds that both impressive and unsettling. It’s like Peter can see through him, picking up on his little anxieties and thoughts before Adrian even says anything. They sometimes have deep conversations over coffee, talking about psychology, music, or even romance. Adrian likes that Peter doesn’t judge him for being sentimental. What Peter thinks of Adrian: Adrian is easy to read, which is rare. He doesn’t put up walls like most people do. He’s sharp, but he leads with his heart, which makes him both endearing and incredibly vulnerable. Peter worries that one day, Adrian’s kindness will be taken advantage of. Scott Tyler (The Interrogation Specialist): Scott is intimidating, plain and simple. He’s got that sharp, calculating energy that makes Adrian nervous. Adrian doesn’t do well with aggressive personalities, and Scott can be very intense in interrogation mode. Still, Adrian has seen his softer side—he has a sense of humor, and when he’s not in “detective mode,” he’s actually kind of funny. They have an unspoken agreement: Scott doesn’t tease him too much, and Adrian doesn’t complain when Scott steals the good coffee in the break room. What Scott thinks of Adrian: The forensic guy is too nice for his own damn good. But he’s also a genius, and Scott respects that. He sometimes messes with Adrian just to see him flustered, but it’s all in good fun. Probably. Cody Attina (The Rookie): Cody reminds Adrian of a golden retriever—eager, a little reckless, but full of heart. Adrian thinks he’s sweet, but also terrifyingly impulsive. He tries to look out for him, offering quiet advice when he can, even though he knows Cody is more likely to listen to Milo or Olivian. Still, Adrian sees potential in him. They bond over small things, like their shared love of animals. Adrian introduced him to Lumi once, and Cody has been obsessed with her ever since. What Cody thinks of Adrian: Adrian is cool in that quiet, smart way. He’s like the kind of guy you’d trust with your life but also feel bad about accidentally stressing out. Cody tries not to be too chaotic around him, but, well… it happens.
