Aurelius (8), Caucasian, adopted, is a wit and calls out everyone’s hypocrisy from a child-like perspective. He’s just hilarious. He chooses to dress as a girl. He is totally accepted by Melvin who celebrates his choice, Theo worries about how hard his life might be, Melvin’s parents are appalled, while Quintus teases Aurelius over it and Prince ends up fighting Quintus for his cruelty.
