Neal Cassidy/Baelfire

as both baelfire and neal cassidy he is selfless and kind. he always found a way to put others before himself, the main example being when he was with the darlings, and, he sacrificed himself to the shadow to keep them a family.

when he became neal cassidy, he became more lost and closed off. alot more distant at the same time when it came to anyone in his life. neal grew up honest, and, good hearted, despite everything that he had been through, and, that happened to him in his childhood. neal became alot more childish as he grew up, due to the childhood that he didn't get to have, as a child, as well as stubborn, and, less willing to trust anyone completely.

FAIRYTALE: neal cassidy was born as baelfire and is the only son of rumpelstiltskin and milah. after the death of his mother, rumpelstiltskin did everything for his son. after finding out he would lose his son to the ogre wars drafting he decided to do something about it and set out to find the dagger of the one known as the dark one.

after rumpelstiltskin became the dark one, baelfire became scared of what his father had become and came up with a plan to make both him and his father free from this land and after his father agreed to go if he found a way he seeked the help of the blue fairy who gave him a magic bean.

baelfire found his father and told him that he had a solution and showed him the bean, baelfire and rumpelstiltskin headed up to a hill and baelfire dropped the bean opening a portal, baelfire was set to go, but, he saw that his father was having doubts about going through with it. baelfire dragged his father to the portal and told him it was the only way to be together, when they were both standing over the portal, bae was nearly through, but rumpelstiltskin used his dagger to stop himself from going through. bae was heartbroken that his father was backing out of their deal and bae called him a coward as he fell through.

LAND WITHOUT MAGIC: on the other side of the portal after a long trip to neverland, and aging out of the foster sytem, he became neal cassidy, a janitor turned on the run thief who met and fell in love with a woman named emma swan, who he was set to settle down with, however, he left her so that she could fulfill her destiny as the saviour. unknown to him, he became the father of henry mills.

STORYBROOKE: when he recieved the postcard from August, Neal decided that he had to find his way to Storybrooke, in order to protect all the citizens from his father's power now that magic is back.

When he arrived in Storybrooke, Neal now realised he had to avoid his father, while trying to protect the town from him at the same time. And, hopefully fix things with Emma while he's here.
