waldo is the middle child in a family of five with a single mother who works full time. his mother, meadow sheridan bell, grew up in a commune with half a dozen other families and she'd always thought that the best part was having so many children around. she wanted her kids to have a plethora of playmates to choose from. what she didn't count on was that there'd be no father around to help care for them. shortly after she turned nineteen, she fell in love with a twenty-five year old rock star called alexander rowan at a concert of his. he fell in love with her and the two soon married and became pregnant with waldo's older sister, presley fox bell, named for elvis presley and for meadow's favorite animal. three years later, they had another child, falling everest bell. meadow named him after the mountain that she'd been dying to see since she was a teenager, though she never got a chance to do so with a young toddler and a husband who was always away. two years later came waldo who was named for the transcendentalist that meadow admired. a year later came butterfly maui bell and two years after that was princess carolina bell. not long afterwards, alexander filed for a divorce.

waldo was always a quiet child, getting lost in the chaos that was his household. alexander always sent hefty child support checks so money was never an issue, but meadow felt useless unless she was working full time so she used alexander's money to pay for architecture school and left presley and falling in charge of their siblings once they got to be old enough.

when presley was sixteen, she got pregnant with his daughter, lauren, adding another member to the already bursting household and another once her boyfriend moved in as well. waldo was only eleven at the time, but he hated lauren. the little girl cried all night long and left the entire family exhausted. waldo started to do poorly in school and started following his older brother around instead of hanging out with kids his own age. he watched all of falling's band practices in smoky basements and dark garages. waldo never held any rock start dreams of his own and soon turned towards the ocean for fun. he took up surfing off the coast of california and soon started taking princess along as well. the fierce little girl took to the water like a seal.

by the time waldo was sixteen, he'd flunked out of the private school that he'd been attending and was sent away to a boarding school. all that did, however, was teach him how to sneak around better and how to use a shower in order to hide pot smoke.

two months ago, butterfly ran away from home and took to the streets with her boyfriend, refusing contact with anyone in her family aside from princess, though princess hasn't told anyone that the two are even speaking at all.

a week ago, waldo failed out of his boarding school and, left with no other options, meadow finally just decided to send her son to the local public school.
