.:Personality:. As a kid Baelfire was a kind hearted young boy who always hated seeing the things that his father did to innocent people, and just wanted him to stop killing or hurting people with his magic.

After his father backed out of their deal Baelfire became lost and unsure of where he was supposed to belong in any world anymore. The feeling of loss grew over time, and became worse after everything that happened with Hook and his life in the foster system.

He was also very selfless when it came to doing things, by sacrificing himself to the Shadow Bae was able to protect the Darlings from being taken, and this is what he was focusing on rather then himself.

When Bae grew up and became Neal Cassidy, he was still both kind hearted and selfless. During this time however, he also became sassy and a bit of a smart-ass. This was mainly to allow him to have something to hide behind to keep the pain out that was there in his life.
.:Strengths:. Archery, Sword-fighting, pirate navigation, surviving, trying to be a good father, being a smart-ass, protecting his loved ones, helping people
.:Weaknesses:. Henry, his father, letting people in, trusting people, his kind heart, his good nature, his stubborn-ness, still feels lost and broken, his need to protect his family, his longing for family and home

How long had it been since Neal was out of the foster system, he didn't know. It was at least a few years, since they told him see you later and kicked him out the door, rejecting him like everyone else ever had. Neal knew that, from the moment he landed back in this world after escaping Neverland, he had been in a situation no-one should ever have to be in at 14 years old, a life of loneliness and no-one ever wanting him again, evident in all those years in the foster system and everyone looking right past him or through him. He was only wanted by one family in his life, and it was one that he was forced away from thanks to that stupid Shadow of Peter Pan's.

The Darlings, they were people he missed and had thought about constantly since that moment landing on the Jolly Roger. Wendy, John and Michael's kind faces were always in his head, well, among other things that he'd rather not have had in there. Neal knew he did the right thing, sacrificing himself to the Shadow to keep them safe, but, he had to wonder whether anyone would ever care about him again or look at him the way that they used to.

Neal had taken the janitor job after aging out of the foster system and he had been doing pretty well there, well, he was making money of any kind at least. That didn't stop him from swiping those watches though, of course none of them knew that at this point in time. He hadn't sold them yet, per say, he had just put them in a storage locker for safe keeping.

He had a few days off from work today and he had decided to take a nap inside his car. Or rather the car he had the keys too, but, didn't actually own. In other words, his stolen car. Neal had just wanted to get out of that place, Arizona as fast as he could, so he grabbed the first car he found and started to drive one day, not stopping until he got here to Portland.

Neal saw that no-one was coming and so, he climbed into the backseat and, using his jacket as a blanket. He started to doze off, he had gotten used to sleeping on a car seat, since he had been for the past year since having to leave the foster home. Neal struggled to get a sound sleep, as the nightmare once again came into his head. The one that had haunted him for so many years on Neverland. Him and his father over that pit before he released his hand abandoning him. This scene always made his heart break all over again.

As he began to stir, he realised that it wasn't just the nightmare that had woken him up. Neal peeked out from underneath his jacket and spotted a young blonde girl sitting behind the wheel. Was she seriously stealing his already stolen car? Neal pulled the keys out of his pocket and sat up before making his presence known "Impressive, but, really you could've just asked me for the keys" Neal said, smirking softly as he showed her the keys in his hand.
