Joey "Little Joe" Santoro

Little Joe is a student who attends Thirlcrest Academy. He is currently a member of the Autoshop Club, more commonly known as the Greasers. He is portrayed by MischievousAnarchy.
==Appearance==
Joey Santoro stands out among the rest of the Greasers, due to his short stature and distinctive style. With a gallery of bruises covering his face, each one a testament to his habit for fighting, Joey has quite a rough appearance. His brown hair is combed back, held in place by an unhealthy amount of pomade, with only a few strands falling to the side. 
Unlike the other Greasers, Joey has a rather scrappy physique, being skinny and not having as much muscle as the others, also making him a top target for opposing cliques, such as the Honor Students.
==Characteristics==
Little Joe is a character, to say the least. With a hot-headed and short-fused temperament, he's always on the brink of an outburst, ready to explode at any given moment. Much like a Chihuahua, his small stature is offset by a big personality, constantly barking and making noise, though rarely following through with a bite. 
His tendency to create tall tales and embellish his exploits has earned him the reputation of a true Italian bullshitter. 
He often boasts about his unbeaten street fight record, a claim that his bruised and battered face contradicts. 
Despite his less-than-stellar fighting history, Joey never shies away from a tussle. He carries himself with an unmatched level of confidence, strutting with a noticeable swagger and swaying his arms as if he owns every place he enters. Sarcasm is his second language, and he is quick with a sharp remark, whether he's bantering with strangers or ribbing his own friends. 
==Character Background==
Joey Santoro was born into a struggling lower-class family in Sicily. Each day was a battle for survival, with food often scarce and poverty an ever-present shadow. From a young age, Joey took on the role of a small-time thief, swiping bread and fruit from local food stalls to help keep his family fed. 
His father, a principled mailman, earned a kind of protective respect from the local underworld figures by doing them occasional favours. However, he always refused their dirty money, striving to maintain a semblance of integrity. Joey, in contrast, had no such qualms and would pocket any money that came his way, a difference that caused tension between father and son.
By the age of 10, Joey found himself increasingly drawn to the powerful figures in his neighbourhood, particularly Ernesto Cologne, a notorious local mobster. Joey began running small errands for Ernesto, primarily delivering messages. Ernesto took a liking to Joey, becoming a mentor and almost a second father to the young boy. Sensing the growing influence of the mobster on his son, Joey's real father decided it was time to make a drastic change to save him from a life of crime. At 14, the Santoro family fled Sicily, leaving behind everything they knew.
They settled in a modest flat in New York, in a tight-knit Italian-American neighborhood. It was here that Joey quickly made new friends and found himself in trouble once more. The group spent their days causing mischief, from taunting the locals to getting into brawls with kids from other blocks. Joey's fiery temper and penchant for chaos culminated in his arrest at age 15 for setting a car on fire. Lacking a proper education and now with a criminal record, Joey was sent to Thirlcrest Academy, a reform school aimed at troubled youths.
At Thirlcrest, Joey's rebellious spirit remained undiminished. He continued to strut with confidence and crack sarcastic remarks, making friends with the Greasers relatively quick, being brought in under their wing.
