HI GUUUYS it's Lyss again, because I have Addy, but I wanted another one to balance out all the you know, Addy.

So I made Leonardo Fiori for some balance. Leo is 17, Ebonhide Sr., Beater, CAPTAIN OF THE TEAM :D. He's from New Jersey. His brother failed out of auditions for Jersey Shore, true story. He was the oops baby of a family with 3 kids already. His parents both worked full time, and he grew up largely alone, so he got REALLY good at after-school Quidditch. And other sports. And anything he worked obsessively hard at, which is what he does to counteract the fact that he is often overlooked. His family loves him, but he's got it in his head that if he ever stopped achieving, they'd be less proud. So now he's like a shark, and if he stops moving, he'll probably die.

And THAT is why he has picked literally the hardest stuff to do at a school he's already here on a Quidditch scholarship for! He got it in his head that he wanted to be both an Auror and animagus, so that's what he is working toward now with not so great results yet, on top of leading the Quidditch team. His obsessiveness DOES bleed down to his leadership style, ty for asking, but he's surprisingly not a dick about it. He's generally tough, but not aggressive, and when he burns out he disappears for a long time. SO PLEASE give him friends and things and enemies and people who think he's crazy, or just want his brother's picture from 6 years ago to see how Jersey he was? ANYTHING?

YEEEEAH just in time for Ebonhide's first game! :D

Rafael is a rival Quidditch player, but not a very... fun rival. Reid barely cares about winning, isn't a great student, and is generally quite lazy.

Diego is in his year, and he's... a mess. But he just kind of collapses when people try to seriously compete with him, so Leo is always winning against Diego. I'm sure he's very friendly at Leo, and is definitely not an academic or athletic threat. The one complication might be Mina, Diego's step sister. They get along horribly, and don't really share friends.

Calvin is a baby sophomore and proooobably doesn't know Leo much at all. He's awesome in school but too young to be a proper academic rival.

And Rafael who's new but has been dramatic so far! Rafael is another driven overachiever who's ridiculously competitive to the point where it kind of kills fun. He's an overzealous prefect, but he's courteous, level-headed and loves to tease and have fun. He just doesn't take any shit and isn't worried if he sounds like an asshole, so most people seem to either love him or hate him. It sounds like he and Leo might often end up stupidly competing with one another a lot? Or if Leo's not too put off by him, they could be friends?

I wrote really fast because I saw it coming up...

I think he thinks Diego needs to grow backbone STAT and won't be able to actually be rude at him. He likes Mina better inherently but def wouldn't be any more hostile at Diego because of that

AND he probably has tried to compete against Reid in Quidditch at least and was disappointed when it came up lacking. Sigh.

He would have his eye on Calvin!!

Definitely friends with Rafael please!? They can also stupidly compete but overall Leo would think he was more fun than anything else :( He admires other people with drive.

Diego thinks that's GOOD ENOUGH. He'll probably mostly leave Leo alone because he doesn't have to obsess over fearing he's hated, and Leo is Mina's friend anyway.

SORRY LEO, Reid is so... unmotivated. That might change this year, though, who knows.

AND YES YAY friends with Rafael, I would love that. Stupid competition aside, Rafael will love that he and Leo can keep up with one another, and have fun together. Since they're both pretty cooperative by nature despite wanting TO WIN ALL THE TIME AT EVERYTHING, maybe by now they manage to usually hit a kind of team mentality? We're going to win this TOGETHER. Also, they're both cold anger people, so if they ever do fight it'll be a lot of really quiet pointed conversation haha.
