==Character Background==
Valerio's story begins on a chilly March day in 1990, in the heart of New York, where the cosmopolitan city's vibrant rhythm intertwined with the rich tapestry of cultures that defined his lineage. Born to the union of Marta Ortega, a spirited woman of Mexican descent, and Arturo Casanova, an Italian entrepreneur, he was cradled in the opulence that befit his family's affluent status. From his earliest memories, Valerio was accustomed to a life where desires seamlessly transformed into reality, where the boundaries of want and need blurred beneath the shadow of affluence due to their family's wealth. However, this utopian existence shattered abruptly as his father's concealed misdeeds came to light, unraveling the threads of their seemingly idyllic life. Arturo, once an esteemed figure in the business realm, was exposed as a fraudulent manipulator who had swindled several unsuspecting businessmen and orchestrated a clandestine operation charging individuals for illegal entry into the United States. The fallout was catastrophic, plunging the Casanova family from the dizzying heights of prosperity into the unforgiving abyss of financial ruin. Despite their valiant efforts, their estate crumbled under the weight of legal sanctions and restitution payments, leaving behind only their home and a few well-priced remnant possessions that bore witness to their former opulence and keep styling their wealth, which was only a facade now. Forced to forsake the bustling metropolis that had once been their kingdom due to the downfall of their reputation, they sought refuge in the anonymity of distant horizons, leaving behind the shattered remnants of their once-privileged existence. Yet, even amidst the trappings of their reduced circumstances, they clung to the vestiges of their former glory, meticulously preserving the outward semblance of wealth through carefully curated apparel and a select few cherished possessions that had managed to evade the clutches of destitution. Amidst this maelstrom of turmoil, a defining moment emerged that would irrevocably alter the trajectory of Valerio's life. Faced with the derisive jeers of a callous classmate who callously taunted him about his family's ignoble fall from grace, a tempest of rage consumed him, propelling him to unleash a violent retaliation that left an indelible mark on the fabric of his fate, attacking this classmate almost to death. In the wake of this incident, Marta, armed with the remnants of her dwindling influence, orchestrated his enrollment in Thirlcrest Academy instead of a youth detention center, viewing it as the last bastion of hope to salvage what remained of their tarnished legacy, and perhaps, to ignite a new chapter in the tumultuous chronicles of the Casanova family.
==Relationships==
===Marta Ortega===
Marta Ortega is a Mexican woman brought to the United States thanks to Arturo Casanova, who she married with and started a family, which led to Valerio. Valerio's bond with his mother forged amidst the crucible of adversity and transcended the boundaries of a conventional parent-child relationship. In the wake of their precipitous fall from grace, Marta's unwavering fortitude emerged as a beacon of resilience, guiding both their steps as they navigated the treacherous waters of a drastically altered reality. Her unwavering love served as a steadfast anchor, providing solace in the storm of uncertainty that engulfed their lives, nurturing Valerio's spirit and fortifying his resolve to weather the tempests that threatened to consume them. However, her relationship with Arturo is not the best, as they divorced as soon as it was found his crimes and barely speak now, at least under Valerio's eyes, but she might be helping Arturo from outside using their contacts, which has been allowing her to keep some status of their prior life. 
===Arturo Casanova===
Arturo Casanova is an Italian man who arrived to the United States about forty years ago and started his crimes years later, marrying Marta and forming a family while increasing their wealth. Valerio's relationship with his father, Arturo, is a tapestry woven with threads of fractured trust and shattered ideals, tainted by the bitter aftertaste of disillusionment. What was once a bond fortified by paternal guidance and the allure of a prosperous legacy became marred by the revelation of Arturo's duplicitous machinations, a revelation that rent the fabric of their filial connection asunder. The betrayal that seeped from the revelations of Arturo's fraudulent dealings cast a long, dark shadow over their once-idyllic relationship, leaving Valerio grappling with the shards of shattered admiration and the bitter realization of a fallible idol. Where there once bloomed a reverence for the man who had epitomized success and authority, now lingered an abyss of disappointment and a profound sense of betrayal that gnawed at the foundation of their paternal bond. Arturo is currently jailed and divorced, but he still possess contacts in order to protect Marta and still working using her, although Valerio is not aware of this.
