History:
Gadolinium grew up in the shadow of his parents' fame and worked hard to hone his skills to their level in order to impress them. They were always either gone or busy, however, leaving him isolated for most of his childhood. With nobody there to love him, he had to love himself to the point of being narcissistic.
Because of his lonely upbringing, he doesn't know how to interact with others very well. He craves attention and will do anything, including risking his life with motorist stunts, to get it. He also uses slight-of-hand magic tricks, but if he feels entitled to your possession, he may steal it without you noticing.
His conceit, theft, and general inconsideration of others has led many to despise Gadolinium. However, he has no malicious intent, so it frustrates him; he thinks his talents should be enough to win everyone over, and so he doesn't understand why they hate him. Part of the reason he's good at dangerous stunts is because he really doesn't care if he gets hurt; deep down he feels like he deserves to be due to all of the negative views others have of him.
One of his vehicular stunts went wrong with the landing and the car swerved out of his control, coming very close to hitting a stranger named Gavin. Gavin has been traumatized by the event and has never forgiven him for it. Gavin's daughter Grace understands that it was an accident, and she even befriended Gadolinium, for she can perceive his good nature.
Gale and Gadolinium knew each other since they were children, and while Gadolinium was much of a bully or nuisance to everyone, Gale was the first one to laugh along with the fun that Gadolinium made of him. The two dated in their teenage years, but when Gale's father died and Gadolinium played it off as joke (he didn't know how to show sympathy), Gale ignored and shunned him ever since.
Gadolinium has since became infatuated with Gradience and borderline harasses her despite how many times she's beaten him up for it. At the end of the day, he just wants to be loved.
