*“Hey there! Looking good today!”*
—Adrien's default quote on his group application

**Adrien** is a villager in *Eclair Express*.

Adrien lives in Toffee Town with his friend **Dahlia Du**. He currently works at the Velvet Lounge as a server at night, and sleeps at home during the day.

## Personality

Adrien is a flamboyant and shameless flirt. He is social and very over the top, loving whatever attention he can get. Being the egoistic wealthy heir that he was raised to be, he is proud of himself and often shows off whenever possible.

However, he can unexpectedly be quite attentive and a good listener, honed from his years working as a bartender in the city, constantly listening to the plights of troubled drunkards. He is professional when the situation demands it and can show a subtle tactfulness in his speech that is backed by his genuine concern and care for others.

Despite this, he can still be quite secretive, disliking deep introspection into his own character with others. It is hard for him to become too emotionally invested in others, making him a very shallow person. His superficial nature may come off as patronizing, as he cares about appearances too much.

## Gifts

## Biography

Adrien comes from a well-off family that is in the liquor business. His father, a very successful businessman, intended to train Adrien personally so that he could eventually take over the family business. Because of this, Adrien started working with his dad right after graduating from high school.

Since he was very pampered as a kid by his mother, he is very close to her and misses her a lot. Her last words to him after he left with his dad to train under him were to "Come back with a nice girl soon for me to see." Adrien probably took these words wrongly, and his initial desperate and pathetic attempts at getting close to girls slowly turned into a more calculated habit. He picked up smoking, started flirting with girls indiscriminately, and got into a lot of fights. After an especially messy problem with the daughter of one of his father's partners, Adrien started to contemplate his life. What did he want out of life? His dad had become much stricter and harsher towards him in hopes that he would mellow out and learn some discipline, and his mom, living in another country, was far away and unable to give him some much needed support.

One day, while clearing out the mail, he found the tackily designed brochure for Coffee Town. He gave a snarky snort and was about to throw it away, but then paused. Life so far had not exactly been very pleasant for him, and he had too many piled up problems here in the city already. A fresh start sounded extremely enticing to him. He wrote a short letter to his dad, packed his things, and essentially ran away from home.

Maybe if he finds a nice girl in this town he’ll come back and show his mom.
