#kell maresh

it's kell! bc i think he was made in a lab specifically to be one of my favourite book characters of all time (but i do love lila and rhy too)

- lila works and lives in a bar owned by Barron called the stones throw

- its in a sketchy run down part of town so she never bumps into Kell and Rhy ever

- alucard was kicked out of his rich parents mansion for being gay and was cut off from their money, so for a good few months he shared an apartment with his friends in his band (the night spire is a rock band)

- this apartment is in the same neighborhood as the stones throw btw

- he and Lila ended up becoming good friends after alucards frequent visits there and cuz Lila’s always wanted to be in a band

- alucard became quite fond of her for the same reasons as in agos

- she ends up finding a family within this band, and spends more time in stross’s shared apartment than her actual room in the stones throw

- alucards dad dies a year after he kicks him out, and alucard is entitled to inherit half his net worth. that being said, alucard doesn’t move back. he uses his riches to attend an expensive university and get a dorm there.

- none of his friends are very interested in university, nor are they very bright.

- alucard noticed how intelligent Lila is and especially how ambitious she was, so he offered to cover her tuition and share a dorm with him. also he just didn’t wanna be alone.

- Lila refused every time, but the thought of being able to get a degree to make Barron proud and be able to buy him everything his heart desires is what compelled her to agree

- so lila and alucard are roommates at Arnes State University; the most prestigious, academically rigorous university in all three nations

(i love him so fucking much)
