== Appearance ==
Sergio, or Santo, is a fair-skinned Italian boy that stands at a height of roughly 5'9. His most discernable feature upon first glance is his large, curly brown hair that sits upon his head, often styled wildly to match his style of life. His eyes are best described as a piercing hazel with a mixture of brown noticeable. Sergio typically don's an unbuttoned dark-jean bomber-styled jacket, revealing underneath a white button up dress shirt with the collar buttons undone. Fastened on his right bicep is the Social Club signature hazard tie, the placement of which being explained by Sergio as a "choice of unique self-expression", though his closest peers (mainly his cousin, Giovanni Sebastiano) often denounce his reasoning with the explanation that Sergio simply doesn't like wearing ties casually. Below the waist he wears a pair of two-toned khaki pants and white-on-black converse sneakers.
Sergio's sense of style is mostly emphasized outside of school, often wearing vibrantly patterned dress shirts to display his expressive personality. Most famously, he wears a red button up shirt with a purple-dragon pattern printed across the majority of the shirt. Sergio's stylistic choices are often seen as uncharacteristic of him, since despite his creative background, he is best described as introverted by those who know him the most.
== Characteristics ==
Sergio possesses a moderately high intellect, though his intelligence can often be clouded by spurts of anxiety or general ignorance depending on the context of whatever given situations he finds himself present in. From a young age Sergio showed a passion in several artistic ventures, such as several artforms falling under the creative arts category (painting/drawing, music, photography). Sergio often sites these early interests as the reason for his current given intellect, insisting that his exposure to these arts helped him mature faster than the majority of teenagers around his age. 
Outside of the Social Club, Sergio will try his best to stick to familiar faces and mind his business. However, with his ties to the leader of the schools biggest contraband-ring, he often finds himself forced into several situations of both pleasant and unpleasant nature, thus often forcing him to step out of his social shell more than he'd like. This makes it hard for those who first meet him to discern that he is a naturally introverted individual, as he often displays characteristics opposite of a typically introverted person. 
Within the Social Club, Sergio feels comfortable with his surroundings, though he is very cautious about his association with the programs true nature, especially because of his family ties. Within the club, Sergio operates as what is best described as a right hand for his cousin Gio and his partners, carrying out errands and favors for the clubs managers while also acting as a direct line between the club and other existing factions/businesses on campus. Most people would simply view Sergio as a messenger or advisor for the club rather than a member that's directly involved in the operation. 
== Character Background ==
Born in America to two patriotic Italian-immigrants, Sergio grew up with a mixed range of Italian and American influences and cultural practices. From an early age he was taught to take pride in his nationality despite the circumstances he was born under, though any attempt to embrace his heritage was clouded by school-yard bullies who picked fun at his Italian characteristics. This is often sited as the reason for Sergio's general anxiety and introverted behaviors, since he was pushed into operating with less popular, scummier crowds who often kept to themselves. It was also from socializing with these crowds that Sergio became use to operating within legally unsavory crowds, which explains his comfortability with being associated with the Social Club. 
When entering his adolescence, Sergio's involvement with his shady friends and their behaviors begin crossing the threshold of illegality. They would begin to partake in unruly behaviors such as gambling, vandalism, harassing vulnerable and often younger students at school, and even minor counts of assault in relation to local/school gang-violence. It would be a particular brutal fight between Sergio, his friends, and another group of rivaling teenagers that would land him in Thirlcrest Academy with his cousin Gio. 
== Relationships ==
=== Giovanni Sebastiano ===
Giovanni and Sergio have always be considerably close, arguably the closest out of the three male cousins in their family. From a young age the two clicked instantaneously, mainly because of their similar age-range and social interests within their youth. Its because of this relationship that Sergio has a undying loyalty to his cousin, which is why he was more than willing to aid him once the truth about the Woodworking Club was unveiled to him. 
== Trivia ==
- Sergio's design and personality is loosely inspired from Kyle Whiteman, a social club manager that existed within Thirlcrest Academy: Scholarship Edition, also played by KazicaI.
