Levi Armani

work in progress!

Picrew: Fantasy Character Creater by MPOM

## Appearance

Levi is pretty short/average height, standing at around 5'5, and has a slim frame. Levi is trans FTM, and does have larger hips and chest and all that- he chooses to wear looser clothing to hide those features. He'll typically wear something very casual, pants and a sweater or something, with a pair of leather boots. That said, he does have a few more formal outfits for when he has to attend a party or something otherwise fancy.

He always has his glasses on (as I'm assuming contacts haven't been invented yet) since he needs prescription lenses to see anything more than a few feet away. He gets new glasses every once in a while, but he tends to stick to his favorite pair of large round ones. His eyes are a sort of sea-green color, pretty large and round, similar to his mother's.

He has light hair, slightly bleached out from the amount of time he spends outside. His hair is curly and he keeps it it relatively long, by typical masculine hairstyle standards. He doesn't bother doing anything to style it, just kinda combs it and lets nature do the rest of the work. Somehow, it always ends up looking pretty good, though, so miraculously Bella doesn't pester him about it too much.

## Personality

Though he acts very chill, relaxed, etc, Levi really has strong opinions like Rowan, which is understandable because he spends a lot of time with his father. He doesn't announce his opinions like his father might, as he knows how controversial they are. He strongly is against monarchies and the class separation, but he isn't confident enough to try and change anything, because he feels like he isn't in the right position to do anything and he knows how dangerous it would be if he were to let anyone know.

Levi is pretty introverted, although if you get him going on a topic he gets really excited to explain his ideas. He's pretty approachable- not super easy to make small talk to, but he almost never turns down a conversation unless it's uncomfortable. He's pretty good at saying when he isn't comfortable with a situation, and will blatantly state it to someone when it comes up. He doesn't like talking about his parents and his noble status, since he doesn't have a great relationship with any of those things. He tries to avoid his mother in particular, which is hard for Levi since the two of them were very close when he was a child.

## Relationships

### Immediate Family

#### Bella

*mother, negative, previously positive*

Levi's relationship with his mother is complicated in the sense that it has changed over his lifetime. Growing up, as Bella's second child, he and his mother were extremely close. Bella would play games with him, cuddle and put him to sleep, and all that. All of that isn't to say that she was a wonderful mother- Levi was still expected to do whatever she asked of him and was taught a lot of toxic, manipulative political and social strategies. She was very supportive when he came out as trans, but around the same time, Bella began to focus more on the future careers of her children, pushing Levi to be a public figure, which Levi hated. As Bella kept pushing him to be in the spotlight, Levi retreated more and more, and eventually decided he would completely distance himself from her. Bella has since given up on Levi, letting him basically do whatever he wants as long as it doesn't f\*\*k up the family image.

#### Rowan

*father, positive*

When Levi distanced himself from his mother, he turned to his father when he needed advice, and the two soon began to bond. Levi began to share his father's anti-monarchy views, as well as his love of studying law. Levi and Rowan would go into town, something Levi had previously only done by sneaking out. Levi learned a lot from Rowan, including how dangerous it can be to speak your mind- which he learned by observing Bella's near-hostile treatment of Rowan after he said some anti-monarchy stuff in the general vicinity of other people.

#### Edelweiss

*older sister, negative/neutral*

Levi never had a positive relationship with his older sister, even when they were children. Levi's near-immediate bond with their mother made sure of this, and for years the siblings were pitted against each other, and would constantly fight. When Levi broke away from Bella, he avoided Edelweiss as much as possible, knowing she would likely rub it in his face that she was now the favorite child. Since then, he still fosters some resentment towards his older sister, but rarely interacts with her often enough to express this resentment.

#### Adriana

*younger sister, very positive*

Only a year apart, Levi and his little sister Adriana grew up being raised extremely similarly. For the first few years of Adriana's existence, Levi didn't think much of her other than a baby that was taking time away from him and Bella, but when they were toddlers they began to bond, as Bella was going to meetings and other noble duties without her children, once she recovered from childbirth, feeding, etc. They grew up pretty close, and shared similar interests (and resentment for their mother and Edelweiss), and supported each other when they needed it. Many people believed the two to be twins- a reasonable assumption due to their similar ages, interests, and appearances. And, even though they don't spend quite as much time together as they did in their childhood, the two are still very close.

#### Carmine

*younger sibling, very positive*

Levi loves his youngest sibling. The first few months of their existence was a bit resentful from Levi's end, since the arrival of a new baby took up Bella's time and affection, but once Carmine was of a play-able age, Levi loved helping take care of them and playing with them. After he distanced himself from their mom, Levi tried to spend as much time with Carmine as he could, and as Carmine got older and began getting dragged into the whole noble business, he began to worry for them- he knew Carmine would do anything it took to get Bella's approval- even more to get her love or affection- and he's always worried about their well-being, mental and physical. Levi loves when his attempts to get Carmine to have fun succeed, even if most of them don't.

tbh their relationship atp is just Levi being worried for their wellbeing and trying to get them away from their mom-

### Extended Family

#### Eden

*younger half-sibling, neutral*

Levi remembers Bella's pregnancy with Eden well. He was by her side for a lot of the pregnancy, and although he, at 11 years old, definitely picked up on Bella's unease throughout it, he never put any pieces together. Now that he'd learned to adore his now-toddler-age sibling Carmine, he really looked forward to a new baby, to seeing it's milestones and all that, so he was heartbroken when he was told that the baby had suddenly d//d before he'd gotten a chance to meet her.

He never ever really thinks about the loss anymore, but it was probably definitely one of the turning points, when he saw how Bella seemed to heal so quickly- WIP
