**Personality:**

Alfonso is the kindest and most generous of the royal family in Ivoria, often spending days, weeks or even months out in the kingdom giving money, food and water to those citizens who are not as well off. Alfonso is also an incredibly gifted and powerful healer and often heals the wound and illnesses of the various citizens in Asar and is always willing to offer a kind word or to listen to their stories, woes or any of their other problems. Especially after his mother committed suicide, Alfonso rarely spends his time in the Ancient Tree, avoiding it when possible.
Alfonso is not an angry man, is far too patient for his own good. He’s incapable of holding a grudge and privately thinks all the discrimination and bias his kingdom stands for is awful and despicable. He’s incredibly humble as well, almost never boasting about his skill as a healer, leader and friend, only saying he’s a ‘modest’ healer, a ‘decent’ friend or a ‘reasonably effective’ leader, when the reality his skill in all three areas in exceptional.
However, that said, Alfonso is also emotional, getting upset or hurt easily, which only makes the awful marriage between himself and Adelina that much worse for Alfonso. Which, only makes him want to stay away from the Ancient Tree even more. In fact his tendency to stay away from the tree is so extreme and he’s so stubborn about it, that they’ve assigned Alfonso a personal guard to accompany him and his servants on his journeys to give away money, food and water. Well, that and the fact Alfonso can’t fight for shit. He barely knows how to hold a sword, much less fight with one and his combat magic skill is incredibly weak, as all he’s able to do is produce a tiny fireball no bigger than a baseball.
**History:**

Alfonso Emeka is the only son of Abimbola and Adisa Emeka, the former parents of the ruling family that was in control of Ivoria. Alfonso’s mother was the actual heir as she was the only child of the former king and high princess. Alfonso never met his grandparents though, as they were already dead when he was born. So, he grew up as the sole heir to continue the Emeka line on. So, his parents were very quick to arrange a marriage for young Alfonso, he was no more than three years old when he was arranged to marry a newborn daughter of another powerful family of elves in Ivoria. Her name was Adelina Kayode, and from birth she knew she was going to be marrying into the ruling family of Ivoria.
Unfortunately for Alfonso and Adelina, they were not meant to be. They never got along, try as they might, their personalities were far too different for them to ever get along. Alfonso was an extremely generous and benevolent prince, often going out to the poorer villages in Ivoria to provide them with gold, supplies and other materials they needed to survive, whereas his wife-to-be was not. She was the exact opposite, believing that Alfonso was far too generous with what would be their future money. They often got into fights and disagreements over that, and those fights and arguments continued, even after they were married when Adelina was barely 16 and Alfonso was almost 19.
Alfonso continued his practice of assisting the poorer members of his kingdom well into his adulthood, even after his oldest daughter, Aelin was born, when Alfonso was around 25 years of age and Adelina was 22. Two years after the birth of Aelin, the couple had another child, a son named Meliorn. Then three years after him, their youngest child, a daughter named Anara was born. Alfonso continued his generosity and philanthropy, even if it was steadily draining the royal treasury, but Alfonso, being the generous prince he was, continued.
It did have some perks though, Alfonso was very soon the most well-liked and respected royal in the entire kingdom for his generosity and benevolence. That said, Alfonso is a terrible fighter, his magic really only being useful for when it comes to healing, which, is where Alfonso’s magic is incredibly strong and can not be outmatched by anyone in the kingdom. His healing magic was very useful on his little forays into the poorer communities as he’d often heal the sick and wounded in the villages.
Eventually, it came to pass that Alfonso’s father, Abimbola passed away peacefully in his sleep at the age of 125 (he didn’t marry Adisa until he was around 50 and didn’t have Alfonso till he was 85). It destroyed Alfonso of course, but it had a much more profound effect on Adisa, Alfonso’s mother. At only the age of 97, Adisa committed suicide by flinging herself off the highest branch in the Ancient Tree. She was actually in love with Abimbola, and losing her one true love destroyed her and made her lose the will to live.
Of course, this ate Alfonso from the inside out, but he eventually overcame it by giving more and more to the poorer citizens and avoiding the Ancient Tree whenever possible. Alfonso now spends most of his time outside of the ancient tree, in the actual kingdom giving money, food and water to the poor citizens and healing their wounds, both mental and physical with his magic and kindness.
