Full Name: Catherine Renée D'Antonio
Height & Weight: 5'4" & 111 lbs
Likes: Zali, her friends and family, cheesecake, pizza, chocolate, Italian soda, croissants, pastries, strawberries, yogurt, red licorice, strawberries, vanilla-bean frappuccinos, fruit tea, French bread, Frosty's, sour cream & onion chips, Chinese food, acting & theatre, musicals, singing, shopping, RENT, Enchanted, animals, her job, little kids, traveling, visiting new places, France, New York City, flowers, hanging out with friends, learning about different cultures/languages Dislikes: Being alone, feeling disliked, rude/mean people, people who hurt other people/animals for fun, violence, feeling guilty or bad about something, math, jalapeno chips, black licorice, steak, coffee, anything containing coffee, horror movies, metal and screamo music, alcohol, smoking, narrow-minded people Personality Type: ESFP Personality: Extraordinarily sweet and kind-hearted....selflessly concerned for other people and will often go out of her way to help or support someone else...she's always looking out for other people..always putting them before herself. Kiki is... really outgoing and makes friends easily because of her warm-hearted nature...she loves to talk and genuinely LOVES meeting new people and getting to know them...sees most everyone as a potential friend. Known for being non-judgmental and kind towards anyone she may cross paths with. For the most part, Kiki doesnt particularly care for being alone...feelings of isolation and loneliness usually don't sit well with her...although even she's had her times where she just needs...her own space...as everyone does. She's really soft-hearted....compassionate and sensitive to other people....she hates seeing people sad or hurt so when she does, you can bet she'll find some way to help them or at least try and cheer them up a little. Kiki herself is sensitive, and although not terribly easily upset...she does get hurt somewhat easily. Even when seriously hurt though...she won't hold anger or grudges towards whoever it was who offended her...and this can be both a good and a bad thing. Like..for example, her constant willingness to forgive was what made possible her friendship with one of her best friends who originally had a significant dislike of her. On the flip side though...it can mean opening herself up to being hurt..for example...as in her 'relationship' with her father Giancarlo. Almost always the cheerful optimist, Kiki always sees the bright side of life...and looks for good in the world rather than bad. She's one of those perpetually sweet and cheerful people with almost Disney-esque beliefs...like..she believes that everyone has some good inside, things will always turn out right no matter what...and oh true love...she's really big on that too..she thinks love is the sweetest thing ever. She can be adventurous as well..and is a natural leader..she likes being able to lead and to express herself and so she has a natural love, and talent, for the performing arts. She's naturally loyal and very devoted to those she loves and cares about...like...she's the type who would do absolutely anything for those she loves..and even those she doesnt know well. She's the type of friend who would listen to you no matter what, even if you called her at like..3 in the morning...she wouldn't get mad..all her concern would be on whether or not you were okay and how she could help. Kiki's a pure sweetheart <3

She's quite social..loves her friends to pieces...and generally treats most everyone as a potential friend...she won't judge someone unless she finds good reason to do so. Ash is... really laid-back...not competitive at all lol..like for example if she were playing Wii or something with her cousin or her friends or her son....she's more than happy to let one of them win...losing doesn't bother or offend her...truthfully..she'd rather see someone else happy than earn a win for herself. And she's always happy to share in someone else's win anyways. :) She's always really positive...optimistic...and cooperative..and thus, has a sizable circle of friends...every one of whom she values and cares about. Her patience and compassion mean that...she's one of those people you can always come to with a problem or just...something you need to get off your chest...she'll always make herself available to listen and help out in any way she can...in other words, she 's a good listener...and has earned the trust of many of her friends. For all the trust her friends have in her...Ashlee herself doesn't dispense her own trust very freely...she learns her lessons the first time around and will never make the same mistake twice. She forgives...but doesn't forget. Ash could also be described as...intelligent...both book-smart and street-smart..and can usually be counted on to make a good decision...although... there have been times when her feelings have clouded her natural good judgment.

Full Name: Natalia Leandra Ferrari
Height & Weight: 5'8" & 130 lbs
Likes: Damiano, sex, collecting shotglasses, black licorice, cigarettes, chewing gum, coffee, drinking, alcohol, oysters, cannoli, grapes, piercings, tattoos, going to bars & clubs, dancing, flirting & seducing people she likes, sleeping, cats, not having her kids around the house anymore, the colors red and black, mini-skirts, silver jewelry, having "get-togethers" with her friends Dislikes: Her daughter Kate, little kids, dogs, being argued with, being talked back to, being told she's a bad parent, people telling her to change her ways, her commitment..issue, feeling at a loss of control, sports, being criticized, being woken up from a nap, listening to other people complaining, overly-nice/sweet people, suck-ups, classical music, fruitcake, low-fat foods, church & religion, being told what to do Personality Type: ESTP Personality: Natalia is an egotistical, loudmouthed, self-centered, arrogant, moody bitch...and generally behaves as though she's God's gift to mankind. She has a bloated ego and is the center of her own world...and acts as if she is the center of everyone else's as well. She's extremely prideful and will never admit to making a mistake...apologizing is practically painful for her...because to her, admitting a mistake equals weakness. In her 39 years of life, Natalia has only said one heartfelt apology, and that was to Damiano for all the time she'd cheated on him. On that note, its worth touching on that...Natalia is..well..a whore. Not really any other way to put it. She's had so many lovers and sex partners that even she can't name them all or even give an estimate as to how many she's been with. Like an animal that never goes out of heat..Nat loves sex like a fat kid loves cake....and with seven kids by four different guys, it would seem she has something to show for her promiscuity. Her self-control, or lack thereof, definetely leaves something to be desired. Nat's a godawful mother though...she's always been more or less indifferent to her kids..never cared where they were or what they were doing...blamed them for her problems...and would smack them around every now and again too if one of them did something to piss her off. She had an especially deep hatred for her daughter Kate...fueled by jealousy of Kate's youthful beauty and naturally sweet demeanor...it got to the point where Nat tried to kill her on two separate occasions. Natalia's fierce envy causes her to hate anyone she sees as 'competition', and many a time, she's set out to ruin such competition..with success. Natalia has a major attitude problem, a sharp tongue and a fiery temper, and won't hesitate to speak her mind and let people know exactly what she thinks of them....and with this downright meanness, its no wonder most of her in-laws can't stand her. Vindictive and spiteful...Nat's not a very forgiving person...and tends to hold grudges for long periods of time, if not indefinitely...she'll always look for ways to hurt those who cross her. Given all that...its reasonable to consider her a pretty mean-spirited individual...and...to a degree, its true...Nat looks out for number one and often takes pleasure in other people's misfortune. Its not all there is to her though...because...a lot of her behavior..is driven by nothing more than insecurity. After..what happened in her childhood, she never did find a way to...I guess release and cope with the pain in a constructive way..and instead...found that tearing others down and building an image of herself as this sexy, self-confident, proud type of person...helped her to protect her inner self...the one that, to this day, still deals with the pain of what happened. Damiano is..really the only one who's ever seen Natalia's inner self...seen her when she was truly..emotionally weak..so he knows there's more to her than the image she puts out...and he loves her for who she is. And for all Natalia's fierce independence and claims that she doesn't need anyone's help...she knows she needs Damiano...and she loves him as much and as deeply as he does her. <3
Marital Status: Taken (Girlfriend to Damiano)
Family Relations: Daughter of Leonardo* and Leona; Step-daughter to Giorgio; Sister to Venera; Half-sister to Giancarlo; Granddaughter of Giustino, Marisa, Amedeo*, and Loredana; Mother of Sergio, Kate, Giovanni, Maria, Dino, Natalia-Vanessa, and Luciano; Niece to Enzo* and Vittoria*; Aunt to Kiki
Fun Fact!: Natalia lost her virginity at the age of 9 to some kid she liked in her 4th grade class. When her mom found out about this, she sent Natalia, kicking and screaming, off to BIBLE CAMP (an event that pisses Natalia off to this day), although Nat was later sent home due to her 'behavior problems'. It seems even the Good Lord couldn't reform her. What a shame.

Full Name: Sergio Leon Ferrari
Height & Weight: 6'4" & 220 lbs
Likes: Rock music, mechanics, his job, catching criminals, solving/investigating crimes, beer, pizza, lasagna, sleeping, working on cars, sports, working out at the gym Dislikes: His father, people feeling sorry for him, whining, drama, crime, failing to catch a criminal, being annoyed by Kate, nosy people, Sabrina's huge crush on him, random people asking to pet his dog, salad, tea Personality Type: ISTP Personality: Sergio is adventuresome, fast-paced, and all but completely fearless...like..literally, nothing scares or intimidates him...which probably makes him well suited to his job as a cop...even dealing with dangerous criminals doesn't bother him at all..he knows he can take them down ohoho yes. Going on that too, he thinks things through quickly and works well under pressure...which means he's.. really good in crisis situations...he never worries or panics...at all...and is good at getting his way out of..dangerous situations...he's smart like that. c: He's definetely confident...sometimes overly so..and its often that overconfidence and pride that gets the better of him. Sergio's like his mom in that respect...proud as hell..doesn't like taking orders from people...and likes to believe that his way is the right way...all the time. He dislikes taking orders from people...the only real exception to this is if its like..one of his superiors at the police station or someone of that standard....otherwise, probably not. Its like how he'd never listen to Damiano as a kid...in his mind..Damiano wasn't a father to him or a superior..he was just..Nat's boyfriend..and not someone Sergio ever saw as authority...which is probably why he and Damiano never had much of a father-son relationship. Its worth mentioning though that he's not nearly..as extreme in the pride respect as Natalia..like..while he may be confident and perpetually sure of himself, he's almost never arrogant...though there are plenty of times where he'd probably come across as such. Beating him in an argument is just about impossible and not only can he win one with ease..if he's set his mind on something...you can bet sure as hell he's not going to change it.....its like when Kate tried to convince him to forgive their father and whatnot..he just flat out refused and Kate knew there was no changing him..it'd be like trying to stop the tide. He's not afraid of conflict either...though while you won't see him starting fights, he won't hesitate to finish them. His strong will and confidence make him a natural leader and nothing less...and this, paired with his unmatched devotion to his police work and protecting those who need it, make him a natural at his job....throughout his life, there are even those who have looked to him as a hero of sorts. On a more personal level, Sergio is...something of a free-spirit...he doesn't like feeling tied down or held back...dislikes making really long-term commitments...which is why you'll likely never see him settle down and start a family...or even get married....he'd hate to be a father...and prefers being able to...you know..have some romantic freedom if you know what I mean. I guess that partly explains why he refuses to take up religion too...the idea of having his life ruled by some difficult set of commandments or standards of godliness...being told what he can and can't do...that just doesn't click with him at all..never has, never will. Being that he tends to make decisions based more on law and logic than thought and feelings...there are times when he can come off as..somewhat insensitive without honestly meaning to...its one of those traits that can be both good and bad...a double-edged sword I suppose. Despite that though...he can be sweet when it comes to..you know..relationships...making a really loyal and devoted boyfriend. Probably...the best example of this would be his relationship with Karen..he actually ended up saving her life on two occasions...risking his own to do so...although its worth saying that its not the first or last time he's put his life on the line for someone else..its just something that comes, once again, with his job. He's surprisingly patient too when dealing with people...which is another thing that helps him especially at his job...he's excellent at dealing with even the most uncooperative or just...weird..individuals...which probably came partially from having to cope with psychologically unstable people on a just-about daily basis. His confidence lends him a sort of charm..and he's more than good at making 'friends' and good impressions on people...Sergio has a wide circle of acquaintances, but few close friends...he doesn't fully trust anyone...at all...and always keeps his most deepest thoughts and feelings to himself..doesn't spill his guts to anyone lol. I mentioned that he..has a good deal of patience and it takes a LOT to make Sergio really mad or to make him snap...it rarely happens and generally he isn't inclined to hold grudges..although..once someone's really crossed him...he's capable of holding a deep hatred for them. The only time this has happened though is in the case of his father..he hates his dad...like..seriously..Sergio could look Karl in the eye, shoot him, and feel no remorse over it. Sad amirite? ):
Marital Status: Single
Family Relations: Son of Karl and Natalia; Grandson of Augusto*, Caterina, Leonardo*, and Leona; Brother to Kate; Half-brother to Giovanni, Maria, Dino, Natalia-Vanessa, and Luciano; Nephew to Giancarlo and Venera; Cousin to Kiki; Grandnephew to Enzo* and Vittoria*; Great-grandson of Giustino, Marisa, Amedeo*, and Loredana Fun Fact!: Sergio was named after one of his father's friends from prison, who happened to be a convicted rapist. One reason of many why Sergio hates his father.

Full Name: Caterina Vittoria Ferrari
Height & Weight: 5'7" & 123 lbs
Likes: Her best friends Sabrina and Camilla, her cats Tiziano, Chiara, & Luigi, her job, going shopping, tiramisu, wine coolers, Italian soda, gelato, Coca-Cola, her "Magic Coke" recipe, coffee, certain types of cat food, traveling with her best friends, skiing, warm/sunny weather, living in Italy, TLK II Dislikes: Dogs, bees/wasps, whiskey, beer, her next-door neighbor's cooking, durian fruit, seafood of any kind, being by herself, being called "Katie", feeling disliked, holding grudges/staying angry at people, drugs, being made to take responsibility for her actions, being told she has a "drinking problem", broken relationships, watching the news Personality Type: ESFP Personality: Really really sweet...friendly..and affectionate by nature...like..she's just one of those people that's naturally..really nice...and LOVES other people...whether it means being with her friends or making new ones. She's a social butterfly most definitely, and is happiest when she's around other people...and given that aspect of her nature, its probably no wonder she's hardly at home...she's always out..usually with Camilla or Sabrina...or her sister...or one of her many siblings, friends, or coworkers. Kate's a really sweet and loyal friend....like..you could always count on her to be there when you need her. <3 She loves parties and social functions...especially when it comes to hosting them herself...which she does frequently...like..with her huge Christmas party every year..and her many attempts to get all the family together for a reunion...its usually Kate who does the planning for events like that. She's...probably the most outgoing of all her siblings....LOVES to talk..and she talks a lot...and I mean, a lot...like..she never really shuts up. It can be a good thing...she'll always find a way to make a fun and lively conversation...but on the flip side...there are those, like her coworker Giada for example, that find her indescribably annoying. Unlike her brother Sergio, Kate is quick to trust people and quick to share her thoughts and feelings...she's very..open in that respect..its like...how she spilled more or less her entire life story to Camilla shortly after meeting her for the first time. She just felt like...she could trust her..and that's how Kate is..she tends to see good in people and see them as potential friends and people she can trust...and maintains this..optimism despite having...her trust, and heart..broken in the past. Its one of Kate's major shortcomings that she doesn't learn her lessons the first time around..and many a time has had to be burned by the same mistake time and time again to realize what it is she's doing. She's like..a kid who has to get zapped three times by the same electrical outlet before they realize that messing around with it is a bad idea....there are a lot of things she's been through that, if she had learned from them..could have saved her a lot of pain. She hates being alone too...has a degree of seperation anxiety which means she can be really...really clingy, especially if she feels she's being abandoned or left alone....those kinds of feelings...hurt her like nothing else can..and you can bet that if left by herself for a long enough time...she'll eventually become depressed...most likely to the point of having to go back on meds. She's...naive in a sense....not quite innocent...but naive...and often seems to act more like a teenager than an adult with a career...not in an immature way..but its just more that...she has something of a youthful spirit. Loves to have fun..and yes that can be interpreted more ways than one. ;D She's...very affectionate and...even a bit playful when it comes to relationships...if you know what I mean. ;D I guess she's a little like Natalia in that aspect...if she likes someone enough...she'll sleep with them without thinking twice about it..to her its just..part of a relationship..a way to show..how much you love someone...and its fun c; Of course, that attitude has gotten her in trouble a couple of times...but..really...it wouldn't be fair to blame her completely...its hard developing a morals system on your own when no one close to you seems to have one. :c Kate...always does try to do the right thing.....she really is a total sweetheart who'd go out of her way to help someone else without a second thought....like when she went through the long and tedious process of adopting Dino and Natalia-Vanessa...her two half siblings whom she barely knew at the time. Or like...you could be downright mean to her and more likely than not, she wouldn't treat you the same way. Its like when her mom would smack her around as a kid almost constantly...yet Kate always loved her regardless and still does even though....her mom hates her. Being hated does bother Kate a lot though and she'll often go out of her way to prove herself to whoever it was that held the dislike of her...for example her mother..or Giada..to let them know she isn't all that bad and that she really is a nice person. Kate's prone to being somewhat sensitive...and will sometimes take things personally..though its extremely rare for her to go and be a bitch and snap on someone. When she does, she will almost ALWAYS feels guilty over it later on and will usually look for some way to apologize....she hates feeling like she's hurt someone....Kate is pretty much incapable of true meanness...and if she feels she's hurt someone, she'll go to great lengths to make it up to them and make sure they're happy again. As to herself, she gets over things quickly...no matter what the situation...she will always end up getting over it....she really can only stay mad for so long before she just ends up letting go of the problem because she CAN'T stay mad anymore lol. After her love affair with Damiano...she felt a kind of hurt/anger towards him for leaving her...but within the year, in her heart, she forgave him. She's surprisingly resilient emotionally...like..she's gone through her share of heartbreak....bad decisions... as well as a miscarriage...among other things...but in spite of this she still maintains her ever-positive attitude...choosing to put her past mistakes behind her and move on.

[Biography]
Full Name: Giovanni Antonio Ferrari
Height & Weight: 6'3" & 210 lbs
Likes: Money, living in Cyprus, expensive cars, his gun collection, running small children/animals over, being feared/respected, servants, having other people to do his work for him, fighting, action & horror movies, beer, pizza Dislikes: His half-brother Sergio, kind-hearted people, children, displays of emotion/affection, boredom, psychiatrists, psychiatric hospitals, cops, jail, prison, laws/rules, friendships, long-term relationships, people invading his space, large crowds, being challenged, when people don't agree with his views/opinions, people refusing to obey him Personality Type: INTJ Personality: Giovanni...is another one of my more complex characters....oddly similar to his relative Giancarlo in personality...which is probably why the two seem to have such a mutual respect for each other. Giancarlo is, truthfully, the only living person for whom Giovanni has any degree of respect for at all...the only one he would even think of taking orders from. Giovanni has quite the superiority complex...he's extremely proud to the point of sheer narcissism..seriously...he's practically in love with himself..and has a kind of arrogance like you would not believe....he thinks he's too good for everyone else, and that he's better than everyone else....pride in the extreme. He's also extremely self-centered...everything he does, he does for himself. As far as he's concerned, other people exist solely for his benefit...he's the type who has no trouble using people for his own pleasure or gain, and then getting rid of them...other people's hurt and misfortune doesn't bother him at all...in fact..it gives him a sense of pleasure..he enjoys other people's pain....probably making him borderline sadistic...or an asshole in the very least. He literally...lacks empathy and compassion..has never once felt sorry for anyone else a day in his life. He's good at covering all this up though...like if you met him...you wouldn't think there was anything not right about him. On the surface...he exudes a kind of prideful charm and confidence...and given his current high-society lifestyle....he easily portrays himself as a man of status and influence...and most that know him see him in that way. Of course...those closer to him..his siblings and especially his half-brother Sergio, have their doubts about how exactly Giovanni's made all his money and how he got to such a high-standing position..and suspicion would be right to have. He no doubt has a way with words..skilled at winning arguments...as well as trust...though trusting him...is never really a smart idea...Gio's a smooth liar and when dealing with him, its near impossible to distinguish lies from what little truth there may be....he's good at twisting the two. He is manipulative and thoroughly cunning...and this, coupled with a naturally gifted mind...means he can make for a dangerous enemy..and it is those who make the mistake of crossing him who often end up seeing his true cruelty. Cold-blooded and unforgiving, there is no limit to which he won't go to...punish someone who's crossed him...and he knows good and well how to carry out such punishments....which means being on his bad side...is a dangerous place to be. His characteristic under-eye scar serves as one reminder of that...a reminder of a man who'd fought with him and lost his life because of it...its a subtle piece of proof that Giovanni has no qualms about murder....in fact..its an all too important aspect of his own life...of what he does.

Full Name: Marianna Saveria Ferrari
Height & Weight: 5'2" & 100 lbs
Likes: Khalil, Donna, being by herself, peace and quiet, reading, sleeping, her silver necklace, being indoors, rain, blackbirds, order & organization, cats, pastries, feeling safe, feeling unnoticed, not having to live with her mom anymore Dislikes: Carlotta, most people, taking her medication, rats, guinea pigs, rodents of any kind, insects, large crowds, social events, parties, going shopping, malls, institutions, counselors, getting shots, anxiety, having her space invaded, when people get too close to her, being compared to Natalia, being criticized or called out for anything, talking to people, sharing her feelings, when people don't understand her, feeling confused, excess homework, falling behind in classes Personality Type: ISTJ Personality: Maria is...for the most part aloof, high-strung, and tends to come off as...well...pretty stuck-up. She's..strongly independant and for the most part, refuses help and advice even when she knows she needs it...she's too proud to admit her own flaws or that...you know..everyone needs help once in awhile. She absolutely hates being felt sorry for...like...if you told her you felt bad for her she'd probably tell you to go fuck yourself. Maria's really got a way with words, that's for sure...and while many a time her sharp tongue and spitfire demeanor seem to push people away...there are those...like a certain someone...who find her all the more attractive for it ohoho Anyway Maria seems to take heavily after her mother Natalia in many aspects of her personality....but can't stand her mom and hates it when people make comparisons between the two of them. As a kid, Maria's goal in life seemed to be nothing more than to antagonize the ever-living hell out of her mother Natalia and make light of her mother's hypocrisy and never-ending list of flaws...I guess that's karma's punishment to Nat for being such a bitch to her own mom. The strong similarity between them means Maria and Natalia have something of a love-hate relationship...mostly hate..its probably for the better that they dont live together because they'd just bitch and pick on each other non-stop like two teenage ex-best friends fighting over something stupid. It takes next to nothing to get Maria offended, she'll take most anything as a personal insult, even when it wasn't intended as one, and then proceed to either chew the person out or give them the cold shoulder for god only knows how long...she really is not a forgiving person at all. She's notorious in her family and at her place for complaining...Maria will always find either something to bitch and complain about...or someone to diss behind their back..again..very similar to Natalia...though with a difference- Maria is much more of a pessimist...she can be really negative...especially if she's already in a bad mood...it seriously gets to the point where she seems to suffer from some kind of never-ending period. Unlike her more outgoing half-sisters, Maria's not what you'd call a social butterfly...she'd honestly rather be by herself or with a handful of close friends than at a party or a club or something like that...she hates big social gatherings because people for the most part just seem to piss her off and she thinks they're retarded. Maria also hates being touched...like...poked or hugged or patted on the back or something like that...she nearly broke Carlotta's wrist after Carlotta kept doing the whole IMNOTTOUCHINGYOU:) thing....seriously...Maria's one of those people who gets mad if people invade her space...though of course...there are times when she won't hesitate to make an exception if you know what I mean. If u no wat i meen. There are times when she can seem...really insensitive...acting for the most part like she doesn't care...even when..you know...she really does...she just has a hard time admitting it...and she's extremely stubborn. Its not that she's a bad person...its more that..a lot of it is really an insecurity thing...she'll never admit to it..but inside...she struggles with feelings of inferiority..and its those internal feelings that often drive what can seem like a bad temper. She's not..honestly all that bad..she can be nice..but that's a softer side that most people usually don't see.

[Biography]
Full Name: Dino Valerio Ferrari
Height & Weight: 5'10" & 162 lbs
Likes: His job, cooking, coming up with new recipes, watching cooking shows, trying new foods, having his room perfectly messy, cappucinos, minestrone soup, pita bread, steak, chocolate with caramel, garlic bread, vegetables, meat, pie, travelling to other countries, hanging out with his friends Dislikes: His step-mom, his room-mate Claudio's habits/behavior (at times..), classwork, writing/researching papers, arguing with people, debates, feeling guilty about things, being a depressive eater, being told to be more organized Personality Type: ENFP Personality: Warm and friendly by nature....Dino is one of those types of people who can get along with just about everyone... and has a knack for making friends with ease. He likes being around people...and for the most part...people like being around him...he has a genuinely warm and good-hearted nature..and treats more or less everyone as a friend. Its honestly hard to find fault with him in that respect because he'd honestly never say a bad thing about anyone...he likes to believe the best in people...and often sees good in people that they themselves may miss. Dino's real easygoing, and laid-back....with something of a happy-go-lucky and almost carefree attitude....its rare to see him upset or stressed.....he always seems to go through life with a smile and a cheerful outlook...dwelling on the good rather than on the bad. Of course though...everyone has their down times...and so does Dino. He eats when he's depressed. ): Like...a lot...he can take down food like nobody's business...and even when he isn't upset, he can still be something of a glutton..though it might be hard to believe just by looking at him. He's completely non-competitive...and DEFINITELY the type to care more about having fun than about winning or losing...he doesn't stress over competition at all, mostly thanks to his even and laid-back temperment. He's surprisingly good at getting work done though, especially given the fact that he tends to be rather.. disorganized lol..like he's one of those people that has an easier time finding his stuff when his room is messy versus when its clean...he's not some lazy pig or anything like that..he's just a bit scatterbrained when it comes to being really organized lol...and his roommate never fails to chide him about that. Dino's happy with, and confident in, himself...but lacks the prideful tendencies that characterize the personalities of his mom and older half-brothers...Dino is much more modest and easy to talk to. He...has a dislike of confrontation and would much rather ignore or avoid a problem situation rather than solve it...and probably the best example of this would be when his roommate Claudio, shortly after coming out, revealed that he cared for Dino as more than a friend. Dino didn't reciprocate the feeling at all, but he chose to avoid acknowledging the issue rather than confronting Claudio and telling him this outright. He just..doesn't like arguing with people...it feels pointless to him and he's more than happy to agree-to-disagree if people don't happen to share his views. He's really the open-minded and accepting type...he likes hearing other's opinions and can be counted on to never judge them for it. And despite being straight himself...he maintained a friendship with Claudio even after Claudio came out of the closet and revealed having a bit of a crush on him fsadfsa. Given his nature, Dino's a really good friend...he's definitely an extrovert-type, but also a good listener...very attentive to people if they've got something to talk about or want to get off their chest and whatnot...he'll always be there to listen or lend a shoulder to cry on..he doesn't mind hearing other people out. He'd definitely be really sweet as a boyfriend...the kind who'd do anything to make her happy....he's total sweetheart <3

[Biography]
Full Name: Natalia-Vanessa Cristina Ferrari
Height & Weight: 5'6" & 120 lbs
Likes: Dario & Ambra, her family, her job, her best friend Isabella, designing clothes, shopping, jewelry, reading teen magazines, chocolate strawberries, french bread, pastries, yogurt, spaghetti, granita (sorbet-like dessert), milk, baking, Neapolitan ice cream, dessert tarts, texting, meeting new people, learning French Dislikes: Being yelled at or insulted, feeling like a burden, doing badly in school, most fast food, heavy red meats, greasy foods, being a picky eater, getting sick, her tendency to procrastinate Personality Type: ESFP Personality: Really sweet, kind-hearted, and friendly...and more or less incapable of meanness at all.....she's a total sweetheart with no temper to speak of. She LOVES being around other people and making new friends...and oh god does she love to talk. Its like at her job, she spends more time chatting it up with the customers and being BFF with them than she does actually working....she's a natural extrovert..who'll talk to anyone that will listen to her. She's one of those who's just...nice to everyone and honestly...can't be mean...anger is just really out of character for her..its honestly not something she ever has felt much of. She can be pretty naive too...has a kind of characteristic innocence about her..I guess it could be considered cute xD A lot of her views on life, especially on love, are characterized by a fairytale-like optimism....her idea of love is something like what you'd see in a Disney movie with true love and happily-ever-after and the whole nine yards..she loves the thought of being truly in love. <3 Nat really has a huge heart...she's compassionate...prone to feeling overly pitying/sorry for people...even if they don't want to be felt sorry for...its like when she once expressed pity for her half-sister Maria, only to be sharply told off. I guess being a bleeding heart isn't always a good thing. Natalia-Vanessa's one of those really soft-hearted people who gets hurt easily....like..she'll sense if she feels someone really doesn't like her or want her around...and once she does that she'll usually get...a little hurt by it. When really upset, she'll cry..but rarely in front of others though...she tends to feel bad when she does because it makes her feel like she's just being whiny and over-dramatic and selfish...although in reality she never is..those traits are completely contrast to her nature...she just doesn't want to risk bringing other people down by her own sadness...that would make her feel guilty. :c Nat has a need to feel...liked...genuinely liked, and will often try to impress others or go out of her way to do something nice for them so that they'll like her....sometimes she honestly tries too hard..but in reality, she just wants people to love her. :c Natalia-Vanessa is really one of the most unselfish people you could meet...she's always doing something nice for other people even if those people aren't kind to her in the same way....she'll never use or take advantage of someone else or their kindness..and is one of those people you can virtually always count on to do the "right" thing. Like her sister Kate, Natalia-Vanessa is one of those people who's just a total sweetheart who loves EVERYONE...and will strive to get along with most anyone....and her sweet disposition and complete genuineness as a person generally makes it easy for her. c:

Full Name: Luciano Salvatore Ferrari
Height & Weight: 5'10" & 159 lbs
Likes: Isabella, his family, pizelle, fettuccine alfredo, cheese ravioli, cooking with Dino, traveling, frozen yogurt, cake, sweets Dislikes: Crime, seeing people upset, watching people suffer or get hurt, conflict, indecision, feeling useless, being reprimanded, disappointing others, spinach, zucchini Personality Type: ESFJ Personality: Luciano's personality is one of altruism and unfailing selflessness...he's always looking out for others before himself and will never hesitate to go right out of his way for someone else, whether that someone is a loved one or a total stranger..its just...how he is...naturally inclined to help other people. Though not sensitive personally, he's always been...sensitive to other people and their feelings...he's one of those that seems to have that kind of natural intuition about people..and is very good at reading them and their emotions. So deeply does he relate to others that it....almost pains him to see someone else hurting or upset...and when he does, you can bet he'll do everything in his power to make them happy or help them set things right again. Luciano has a strong sense of right and wrong and always strives to do what he believes to be the right thing...although his goodness-oriented nature, and tendency to make decisions based more on intuition and feeling rather than thought, means sometimes..what he sees as the right decision isn't always what's best. He has a tendency to blame himself when things go wrong, even if it was something out of his control....he always feels like there was something he could have done to make the situation turn out for the better. Though not rash or impulsive, he often acts without thinking things through fully...looking only at the good that can come out of something as opposed to considering the bad, or possible consequences. Warm and friendly by nature, he's happiest when he knows he's made someone else happy or when he's done something good for someone else...he's very unselfish and finds more joy in seeing others happy than in doing something to make himself happy. His personality is also characterized by an almost childlike free-spirit and love of life...he's very outgoing..friendly...and almost perpetually in good spirits...though this youthfulness can lend him a sort of naivete at times. Luciano's extremely loyal to those he cares most about...his girlfriend, and his family...and remains always devoted to them.
