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?

Okay so first and foremost I have Solomon, who is a chaser for the Ebonhide team. He's a sophomore. Solomon is actually the worst competitively, but he has the same obsessive drive that Leonardo seems to have, Solomon's just possessed with the need to know everything rather than be good at everything, but he's a decent player, and this is his first year (so his first game is coming up) and a super hard worker. And also super grateful Leonardo isn't the kind of captain Sy is because this kid does not do well with aggression. Overall, even though this is his first year, Solomon likes Leonardo.

I also have Chris, who is a fellow senior AND a fellow beater for Coppertail. He's also stupidly grumpy (and using a Louisianian accent this week, instead of his usual Boston accent, for a social experiment and science and shit, so Leonardo would prolly notice that in their classes and duelling and shit.) But Chris respects Leonardo for his drive and way of captaining. And has probably injured Leonardo at some point in some previous game, or games, because he's a ruthless beater. Since Chris doesn't really care about house divisions, it depends on if Leonardo cares for Chris's attitude (and the competition aspect) if they're friendly or not.

I think Leo would like Solomon too! He definitely respects people who can love knowledge for itself even if it that is so not him. But he will be happy the future of Ebonhide Quidditch is in good hands :(

He thinks Chris's particular grumpiness is absolutely tolerable, and would absolutely have worked to injure him back. So it'd probably be more Fun Competing than a desire to duel to the death or something. (And has somewhat of an accent too and will be so confused as to why Chris is switching his. But thinks it's ultimately pretty much hilarious.)
