Alfonzo looks like a big bipedal bear. He has a thick, round build, practically teardrop-shaped from the top of his head to the bottom of his belly with barely any room for a distinguishable neck. His fur is thick and mostly sandy brown with a couple of darker patches on his face. Though there are sharp teeth in his mouth and claws on his feet, he hardly looks as frightening as a normal bear: he has rounded ears, a short snout with a small, pink nose, and large eyes that never exhibit any malice. His feet are identical to bear paws, but his hands have three stubby fingers and a thumb with leathery pads on the palms.

Though he could easily be taken for an Atherian, Alfonzo insists he isn't one. As for what he is, well, that's a mystery. He's a private sort of guy.

Riddles, masks, playing pranks, electro swing

Classical music, sour food

Bees, mimes

Drums, paper mache

Asexual

Alfonzo is a boisterous fellow who can be a little mischievous at times. He loves messing with people, but he's never serious about it and he knows to pull back when he's gone too far. He tends to be more detail-oriented and sees beauty in places most people wouldn't think to look, admiring the silver lining to every situation no matter how dark it can get. Life's too short to let it get him down. He might have trouble empathizing with friends that just need a shoulder to cry on, but he's always there if you want someone to lift your spirits.

Alfonzo is too friendly to fight, even if he was physically capable.

Drummer for Birthday Party

No one knows where Alfonzo came from or who he really is; he just approached Skye Flortite one day looking to join the band and he's been with them ever since.

"I think I've had a few times where someone just wanted me to nod and agree with everything they were sayin', but that's just not how I am. I always try to make things right though."

"I don't care much for romance. I can't ever see someone as more than just a real good friend. Not that there's anything wrong with that!"

"My basement! I don't invite people over very often, and downstairs is where my biggest, best drum kit is. If I'm ever feelin' down, I just go down there and bash away, improvise somethin' out. It's great fun!"

"Prob'ly the day I moved to Tengoku City. I fit in here better than I ever would've dreamed!"

"Ever heard of the Star Ghosts? I can't say I'm sure they're real, but I wouldn't mind changin' places with one of them, maybe Angie. I read a ton about them and would really love to see things the way they do."

""Memoirs of a Big Brown Bear." Simple, effective, and alliterative, ho ho!"

"People are like great big puzzles to me. I love seein' how they react to all sorts of stuff. It's part of what makes my life fun!"
