Dante Russo

Dante Russo is a student athlete at Thirlcrest Academy played by zrokidd. He is currently an All-Star first-string Wide Receiver of the Football Team and Small Forward of the Basketball Team, affiliated with Varsity.
== Appearance ==
Dante stands at a confident height of 6'2, and a balanced weight of 184. Adorning an emerald green eye colour. His curly bangs drape over his eyebrows which usually appear furrowed, leaving the shape and color a mystery to most. A light, yet bushy goatee donning his jawline, whilst his physique from head-to-toe seems very well-toned & natural. 
For his appearance, Dante is seen within one of two outfits whilst loitering around campus. One of which being his classic letterman with patches sewn onto the sleeves, scattered around. This letterman comes curtained over his back and on top of a grey Thirlcrest XXL athletic T-Shirt, a number of accessories such as two bracelets resting upon his dextral wrist and his signature cross necklace adorned around his neck. Upon the latter of the two outfits, in which he is seen in most often, he sports a dark-grey zip-up hoodie with the words "Thirlcrest Academy" embedded within the chest-area, outlined in a yellow hue. His football jersey is tucked underneath this uniform, the number "4" peeking out of the half-zipped stature of the hoodie. He wears this within culmination of a pair of washed denim jeans, a rip can be seen within the knee from a previous fight that he departed from victoriously and the same white sneakers from the first outfit being yet still worn. Much like the sneakers, he keeps a consistency of wearing his signature Thirlcrest Knights baseball cap within a backwards-positioned mannerism.
== Characteristics ==
Dante's impressionably calm mannerisms do not falter from his fighter's spirit; whether that be within the face of adversity or within the pursuit of love. He is constantly checking in with his loved ones to eradicate any issues within life they may be having. A very loyal friend, yet maybe not the best partner, being the individual within a room that if you were to fall.. he'd check on you first, then laugh with you afterwards. Once you breach his cold-hearted and hard outer shell, you can see that Dante has a multitude of soft spots for people who he cares for deeply. Yet, his humor is much to the expense of other people that he deems lower than himself, a testament to Dante's ego and pride.

=== Colette Calloway - Partner===
 Dante was approached by Barbie DuPont whom was in search of a prom date for her best friend, Colette Calloway. After high consideration, Dante agreed to ask Colette to prom. His interest within Colette only piqued after his conversation with Colette after she cut his promposal off mid-way with an immediate "yes". Since then, Dante and Colette have grown extremely close, him putting her above mostly anyone else.
=== Braden Laurence - Close Friend ===
 Dante met Braden through his other friends Brett McKnight and Daniel Park, a friendship slowly building ever since. Knowing of Braden's consistent relationship problems, Dante did his best to be there for his teammate within Braden's times of need. Being one of the ONLY individuals who agreed with Braden's constant want to be in control of his own relationship, Dante did not push any agenda onto Braden and simply gave advice. From there, Braden and Dante are seen together often hanging out or fighting alongside each other against adversaries.
=== Daniel Park - Close Friend ===
 Dante had met Daniel Park when Dante was still on Junior Varsity and Daniel was an All-Star at the time. Dante and Daniel had a similar perception on situations -- the foundation for a future friendship that built over the weeks as Dante rose up into joining the Varsity team as a Wide Receiver. Dante consistently trained with Daniel and fought alongside him, developing a brotherly love for his teammate.
=== Chase Hall - Close Friend ===
 Dante and Chase were friends from the beginning of Chase joining Junior Varsity. Dante always saw Chase as an equal to himself in levels of physicality and mentality, a true brother within the program. Dante and Chase are two likeminded people and can be seen usually together if Dante is not with Braden or Colette. They both have a strong sense of honor and doing what is right to a plausible extent.
=== Aaron Rosso - Close Friend ===
 Dante met Aaron quite recently -- not being necessarily close to him first until he began hanging around him more. After Aaron took up for Dante to fight against Bryce Harrington, Dante grew an admiration for Aaron. During the events of Aaron and Dante consistently fighting alongside one another against the Honors Program, they grew to become close friends. Aaron and Dante talking on the regular and helping each other out with a numerous amount of favors.
=== Caesar Anderson - Close Friend===
 Dante thinks of Caesar as a kid brother, seeing Caesar's time maneuvering up from Junior Varsity all the way to a All-Star status, Dante's has had a few arguments with Caesar during his time knowing him, yet still has a soft spot for him seeing as though Caesar's just a huge idiot. Dante might give him a hard time, but he would go to the ends of the earth for his teammate.
