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?

Isaiah will know him via classes! He's totes on the same page about working obsessively on specific things, though his are...very different. He does not understand the appeal of Quidditch, though, poo. But I think he would respect Leo very much, at least. (He also came very close to being Leo's roommate and sometimes he thinks that he would have fit better there, idk if that is actually relevant but it exists.)

My baby sophomores are both involved in Quidditch in one capacity or anothers; Gabi's a cheerleader and Ree is a beater WHOO BEATERS. Plus it's Ree so she'll be on his jock regardless.

And Saira's brother is one of his roommates and she definitely respects/understands his MUST ACHIEVE SO FUCKING MUCH FOR FAMILY RECOGNITION TO STICK, MUST DO ALL THE HARDEST OF EVERYTHING since she is basically Hermione With Mommy Issues (...mods can we change her summary tho) and I think they could be friendly because of ~getting each other~ maybe?

Leo would like Isaiah! He appreciates other obsessive workers a lot, but would try to nudge him gently towards understanding Quidditch which is GREAT, ty

YAY QUIDDITCH and beaters!! He will be ruthless on the pitch but better in real life...

Best summary! But omg that would be great. He would probably even soften slightly and tell her actual insecurities only to stop a second later so sorry Saira!?
