 Axel is a 17-year-old lemon shark. He grew up in the Atlantic Ocean, in Oceanglare with his father. His mother left his family when he was 2.

As Axel grew older, he discovered he was not like the other boys in his swimming league, he didn't like girls as much, but he only liked guys.

 After he started expressing these feelings, he was getting bullied a lot. As he grew up he learned more about himself and his sexuality and how he was never attracted to girls, His feelings like this started when he was around 8. He officially came out as gay and everyone supported him. Other than the people in his swimming league, also some people were not very accepting of him. But he handled it very well.

 He got his first crush on this dolphin, Drake. As he grew older, these feelings for Drake never stopped. He has been obsessed with Drake since he was 9. He is now 14, and still in love with Drake.
