Addison is self-reliant, creative, and somewhat reserved. Coming from a picturesque but closed off homelife, he has a harder time reading the room and can come across as rude to others.
“Wonder Syndrome” This spell allows him to spawn mushrooms that spores can cause hallucinations that affect how people perceive reality. Based on a medical condition dubbed “Alice in Wonderland Syndrome” it affects the way people perceive the world around them and can distort how they experience their own bodies and the space it occupies. These can include distortions in vision as well as time.
Addison came from a closed off home - picturesque from the outside, he lived with his sister and single mother. Where his twin sister - Anise put on the image of a well mannered and prim lady, he was unruly and quick to anger.
His mother always preferred his sister over him. After the sudden disappearance of Anise, in her grief, his mother used him as a proxy for his sister. Fraternal at birth and his personality the complete opposite to his twin, his mother made it her mission to get a visage of her favorite child back through Addison. He was forced to look and act like Anise. Forced to play the part of someone long gone. His mother clung to her image, and is afraid of losing “her” again, Addison was kept close, where she could always keep “her” in her sight.
During this period, he was forced to pick up painting, a hobby Anise enjoyed. At first he hated painting - because to him it felt like he couldn’t do anything good without it being compared to his sister. His mother would monitor his progress, often getting upset that he couldn’t get it “right”.
Whenever he had the chance to be alone, he would take out his frustrations through his art and only then did he feel a sort of catharsis. Addison venting through his art became a habit he kept up to his entry to Royal Sword Academy. However, due to his art having heavy ties to himself, any criticism of his work felt like an insult to his character. But as stressors pile up due to having issues with his peers, art block steadily made him more frustrated and internally disappointed with himself. Addison became defensive and aggressive at any slight to him, his art, and in particular - his lack of social etiquette due to his closed off home life, which was an often used to tease him by older dormmates.
