Personality
Cadmus is a young man who almost always has something to say. He tends to be helpful, and usually has a crooked grin on his face. He is typically found in high spirits. He has a dry sense of humor, and his jokes can be so subtle that you might miss them, or not subtle at all. Sarcasm is almost a second language for him. He exudes an aura of confidence, but he is never arrogant. He has a temper, and if put in serious emotional distress, can go "dragon-mode" and rampage. He hates his dragon-form. He tends to be goofy and witty, and if he gets serious, you know that stuff is about to go down.

He has a passion for dragons. He enjoys studying them, bonding with them, and training them. He has a unique ability to connect with these animals, partly due to his heritage and partly due to his determination to understand them. He refuses to harm a dragon unless it's actively trying to kill him, and even then he tries to incapacitate it. He knows his limits, however, and doesn't put himself or anyone else at risk unless he has to.

Cadmus has an interesting outlook on life. He considers himself a technical pacifist, and attempts to resolve conflict in a nonviolent manner. However, if he realizes a person cannot be talked with and will respond with violence no matter what, he will take up his sword and fight them.

He enjoys traveling, and has a map pinned on the wall of his dorm, and every place he wants to go is marked. Cadmus is okay with kids four and up, but has no idea how to take care of kids three and under. He has a habit of biting his lip, as well as a habit of tugging on his earlobe. His eyes take on a determined glint to them when he puts his mind to something. He has a strong fondness for rock and metal music. He get very blushy and nervous around his crush.

Appearance
Cadmus has pale skin, shaggy platinum blond hair, and striking emerald green eyes. He has high cheekbones, but they're not noticeable at first. He has a defined jawline, with a slightly narrow face. His hair goes down to the middle of his neck. One side of his hair is braided to give the appearance of a half-shaved head. Standing at 6'3, he's exceptionally tall for his age, and has an athletic build.

His dragon-mode form is, well, disturbing, for those who are not used to it. His pupils become distinctly reptilian. His teeth grow razor-sharp and into points, and his hands become claw-like. Bloodred scales cover his hands, forearms, shoulders, legs and cheeks. Dragon wings jut out of his back. He loathes his form, because it tends to freak people out, and because the (involuntary) shifting process is extremely painful. Cadmus has said that it feels "as if I'm being consumed in fire."

(And on that happy note, let's move on.)

Portrayers
In English, Cadmus would be voiced by Matthew Mercer, preferably in his Walter voice. His creator chose this voice due to the depth and slight roughness of his voice, yet somehow still sounding soothing and like that of a future Jarl (king). If Ever After High were to be adapted into a live-action film, he would be played by Drew Roy, albeit with different hair and contacts.

Fairy Tale
He is the son of The Cursed King and The Princess, from the fairytale The Green Serpent. Read it here.

Family
Cadmus has a strong bond with his family, which consists of his father, Fafnir, his mother, Marinette, and his younger sister, Oriana. He and his sister have been best friends since before they could remember. He greatly enjoys visits home. Due to his mixed parentage of Viking (Father) and French (Mother) he has an odd accent, and grew up in a very multicultural home as a result. His family celebrates traditional French Holidays, but has Viking festivals as well. They have... interesting traditional French/Viking dishes. The halls of his home have shields and battle axes next to French tapestries and suits of armor. Even though he loves both sides of his family, he's closer to his father and thus more in touch with his Viking side, as shown by his clothes.

Oriana Grœnn
Oriana is Cadmus' sister and best friend. They now pretty much everything about each other, and he's fiercely protective of her. He's been teaching her self defense for four years, and he can tell you she's become quite good at it. She expresses worry at the fact that she doesn't know what her destiny is, and he's tried his best to reassure her that she'll have a great future, even though he's afraid she'll be stuck with a "Happily Never After". If she is ever in danger, may the Gods help whoever tries to stop him from getting to her.

Hunter Huntsman
Hunter and Cadmus became friends after Cadmus walked out of Dragon Slaying in disgust. Hunter walked out after him, and they chatted for a while. They realized they had many qualities in common, and quickly became close friends. Hunter once spent a summer up at Cadmus' home in Scandinavia, and loved every minute of it. Cadmus is still trying to get Hunter to try a few of his mom's "weirder" dishes. Hunter is the only person outside of Cadmus's family that can talk him out of dragon-mode.

Romance
TBA

Alliance
Cadmus really doesn't want to be turned into a giant reptile for a couple years, but at the same time he doesn't want to disappoint his parents or his sister Oriana (who wholeheartedly believes in destiny). He's just very conflicted at this point, putting him firmly in the Roybel category.

Pets
Cadmus has a pet dragon named Sjelild (pronounced SHEH-leed). She, like Raven Queen's dragon Nevermore, can change size. While in her large form she is about 30 feet long, with a wingspan of about 30 feet as well. She has shiny dark green scales, and fiery gold-orange eyes. She can breathe fire, and can fly well at high speeds. She would look like a green version of this dragon. He loves her dearly, and she acts more like a dog than a terrifying beast capable of mass destruction. He gives her belly scratches, and she loves his cuddles. Since dragons are pretty much eternally loyal if you bond with them, all he has to do to summon her is yell her name. She comes to only his call. He keeps dried meat on him as a treat for her, and he knows exactly where her favorite spot to be scratched is. (For the record, it's under her chin.) His family has a special barn that she sleeps in when Cadmus comes home.

Basic
Cadmus wears a scale-patterned t-shirt that goes down to his elbows. It's a dark green, so dark that it looks black at first glance. It's enchanted to look like dragon scales, so some people actually assume it's really part of his body. He constantly wears armor that looks like this:
