Biography
Hi there! I'm Shadrach von Smith, the son of Button-Bright. People around here call me Buttons. My father Button-Bright was from a wealthy Philadelphia family. He went on a number of journeys to Oz. On his first adventure, he met Dorothy Gale, who found him on the side of a road. When he got older, he journeyed to Sky Island with his friend Trot. On his third adventure, he went to Oz again, where he was reunited with Trot. That time, he decided to stay.

Eventually, he decided to move back to Philadelphia since he missed his family, and he got married. I have an older brother named Solomon and an older sister named Sapphira. We live in a large mansion in Philadelphia. My paternal grandmother lives with us too. It's a nice, comfortable mansion, and I always have plenty of things to play with and keep me occupied.

I have a childish love of going on adventures. I love exploring new places and searching every nook and cranny for excitement. I also love going sailing. My father has a number of yachts located in the Delaware Bay and he lets me ride on them. That's why I like dressing up in sailor suits - so I feel like a real sailor. It's one of many things that makes me glad to be rich.

I'm spending my first year at Ever After High. It's an excellent school, and there's lots of nice people here. I've made friends with the kids of other American visitors to Oz, and I get along with them well. I'm getting all the preparations I need for my future adventures in Oz. I identify with the Royals because I think my destiny is pretty cool and it'll be lots of fun.

I often get picked on here. It's because I'm pretty childish. I tend to act younger than I really am. I love stuffed toys, tea parties, and playing make-believe, I hardly ever swear, and I frequently watch cartoons instead of stuff geared more towards my age. I guess I'm afraid of growing up because I see being grown-up as boring. Sometimes I wish I could stay a kid forever, but alas, I can't. I guess I should just enjoy what I have now.

Bye-bye!
