Valentino Santorro

Valentino is a character in Thirlcrest Academy played by Gupsicle. He is a part of the Autoshop club.
== Appearance ==
Valentino stands at 6'5", has light brown eyes, a straight nose, and full lips. He often dons the usual "singular strand in front of the face" hairstyle, a signature look that sets him apart. His hair, slicked back with precision, adds a touch of sophistication to his appearance. The singular strand of hair is carefully styled, almost as if it has a mind of its own, sometimes falling out of place in a playful manner. His choice to adorn his head with sunglasses, even when not on his eyes, hints at a laid-back, carefree attitude. The sunglasses, perched atop his head, serve as a quirky accessory, adding to his charm.
There's a subtle hint of eye bags under his eyes, suggesting a busy or perhaps restless nature. Despite this, his eyes are lively, often sparkling with humor or kindness. He is frequently seen flashing his pearly whites, a warm and inviting smile that comes naturally to him. His friendly demeanor is genuine, making him approachable and likable to almost everyone he meets -- mostly girls and gals' he's familiar with.
== Characteristics ==
He maintains a friendly demeanor, always managing to charm the student body with his pearly whites, often making new friends while remaining close to his own, the Autoshop Club -- also known as 'greasers'. His involvement in the Autoshop Club showcases his hardworking nature and reflects how he was raised right. Honesty is a core value for him, and he strives to be as genuine as possible in his interactions. Despite this, he also has a playful side, often teasing and taunting his friends, and sometimes even strangers, in a lighthearted manner to get them riled up. This playful banter adds to his charm and makes him a fun presence to be around. Furthermore, he has a talent for problem-solving and is often the go-to person for advice or assistance. His practical approach to challenges, combined with his willingness to help others, makes him a valuable member of his social circle -- while even having problems to figure out for himself. He values his family deeply and is dedicated to maintaining strong relationships with them. He often speaks fondly of his family members and cherishes the time spent with them. This family-oriented nature adds another dimension to his manners, showing that while he is outgoing and sociable, he also has a strong sense of loyalty and commitment to those he cares about.
== Character Background ==
Valentino was born in Ottawa Ontario, to Italian Immigrants Romano and Marzia Santorro. Growing up,Valentino spent most of his early days hanging around Little Italy which is located in central Ottawa. Since his parents immigrated to Canada before he was born, the only place where Valentino could hang out with kids just like him would be in Commissioners Park which was a part of Little Italy. Val was always the taller kid of the bunch, standing at roughly 5’10 by the time he was 12. While yes, being at a height advantage may seem cool, it also comes with its downsides. Not knowing when you can seriously hurt someone. Now, Valentino wasn’t sent to Thirlcrest because he injured someone. No. It was because he was getting involved with a bad group of older teenagers when he was 15 and got caught up in some shady business. Caught up in something that if he were a few years older would end him up in federal prison, Val’s parents instead insisted on sending him to the best boarding school in North America; Thirlcrest Academy.
