Anselm is a resident of [[Kennet Undercity]].

==Personality==
Mature, dark, moody and writes angsty poetry.<ref>“He’s sixteen.  But you’re mature.  Sort of?  Uhh, he’s quiet.”<br>“He’s from the Undercity.”<br>“He is.  So am I.  So are a bunch of us.  Who cares?” Mal asked.<br>“It just feels like the moody, dark, good looking guy from the Undercity might have more going on.”<br>“He writes angsty poetry.”- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/08/09/let-slip-20-3/ Excerpt] from [[Let Slip 20.3]]</ref> He has a look of vulnerability about him.<ref>He had a look in his eyes, that worry hinting at vulnerability.- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/08/09/let-slip-20-3/ Excerpt] from [[Let Slip 20.3]]</ref>

He can sometimes act quite feminine.<ref>“Anselm.  He’s got, I dunno, like, long hair, I’ll see him rocking a girl’s top sometimes, but it’s more like, if a guy’s willing to toe and sometimes push the line and still be super confident, that’s ''more'' masculine, you know?  More ''guy''?  To me at least.  But he’s all hard lines and skin pulled tight over lithe, narrow body?” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/10/04/in-absentia-21-1/ Excerpt] from In [[Absentia 21.1]]</ref>

==Relationship==
[[Verona Hayward|Verona]] is interested in forming a causal relationship with him, offering him a contract and requesting references. She did this before finding out his name.<ref>“Formalizing the casual relationship,” she noted.<br>He studied the ‘contract’, while she stood off to the side, studying him.<br>...<br>“If you want to do this, I’ll need referrals.”<br>“For a formalized casual relationship?  From what?  Other girls?”<br>...<br>She nodded.  “And uh… since it didn’t come up earlier?”<br>“What’s that?”<br>“Your name.”<br>“Anselm.”- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/08/09/let-slip-20-3/ Excerpt] from [[Let Slip 20.3]]</ref> Under this contract their required to use protection, he can see other partners but he has to be honest about it a get tested.<ref>“Right, but, it’s ''upfront'' complicated,” Verona said.  “Contract, laying it out there.  We use protection, he’s free to be with whoever, but if he is, I want him to be honest and get tested, that’s complicated because Kennet below has crappy services, but he can come to Kennet above… but once that’s all set up and being done, it’s easier, right?” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/10/04/in-absentia-21-1/ Excerpt] from In [[Absentia 21.1]]</ref>

Later on he started sleeping with [[McCauleigh Hennigar|McCauleigh]] but only after McCauleigh had gotten Verona's permission.<ref>“I told her it didn’t matter, we talked about this, made a deal, sorted it all out in advance,” Anselm told Verona.

“I wanted to double check,” McCauleigh said.

“If you guys are messing around and he and I are messing around, and Julette and he are messing around-?”

“She draws me, that’s it,” Anselm said.

“Right.  Still, makes it extra important to be safe.  If you give me herpes through Anselm or whatever, I’m not ruling out making it super herpes and shucking it off me to send it to you as a curse,” Verona warned.

“Don’t see myself doing that,” McCauleigh replied.

“Then sure, if you’re off with someone I trust, someone I like?  Just let me know if you start catching feelings, don’t let this be some thing where it goes on for a year, and you start hating my guts for hanging with him while I have no idea.”

Friends with [[Mallory]], she attempted to set him up with [[Verona Hayward|Verona]].<ref>“No no no no, no ganging up on me.  I did good, didn’t I?”<br>“On purpose or by accident?” Verona asked.<br>“On purpose!  After the Appaloosa disaster, I went looking!” Mal replied.  “I asked about shit you like and he seemed sorta right, so I invited him to party tonight.”- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/08/09/let-slip-20-3/ Excerpt] from [[Let Slip 20.3]]</ref>
==Appearance==
His eyebrows are curved and his lips formed an "m" shaped with a long head, long straight nose and long brown hair.<ref>The guy who followed her into the dining room was a bit dour.  His eyebrows were perpetually curled into a look of worry or concern, his upper lip was very ‘m’ shaped, his lower lip pulled in a bit like he was regularly biting it, and he had a long head, long straight nose, and long-ish brown hair.  Long.  Like, not tall, but proportioned out like someone tall and narrow, then adjusted down to another height.- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/08/09/let-slip-20-3/ Excerpt] from [[Let Slip 20.3]]</ref> Tends to wear his jeans slung low.<ref name=":0">There was art on the cover, of a guy with his shirt off, sitting on the couch, arms draped out to either side on the back of the couch, head tilted back, long hair spilling out around it.  His pants or jeans looked like the were slung low enough, sans any apparent underwear, that another few millimeters might’ve required drawing ''other'' anatomy. - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/10/04/in-absentia-21-1/ Excerpt] from In [[Absentia 21.1]]</ref>
