## Name

* **Julius** is the name of a Roman family, most famously the dictator Gaius Julius Caesar. The name Julius may be derived from Greek ιουλος (ioulos) "downy-bearded" or from Latin Jovilius "devoted to Jove". Julio/Júlio is the Spanish/Portuguese form and Jules is the French form.
* **Adonis** as a boy's name is pronounced a-DAHN-iss. It is of Greek origin, and the meaning of Adonis is "extremely good looking, handsome". Greek mythology: a beautiful youth beloved of Aphrodite, goddess of love. The name has come to mean a paragon of male beauty, making it very hard to live with.
* **Carter** is a family name, and also may be a given name. Carter is of Irish, Scottish and English origin and is an occupational name given to one who transports goods by cart or wagon originally believed to be of Gaelic and Celtic origins and a possible form of the name McCarter. Mc generally means son of.

## Tropes

* **Good Parents:** Julius's parents, while stifling to him, are still very open to Julius and his interests. They are also very loving to him and his little sister.
* **Caged Bird Metaphor:** Julius describes his life in the Blue Ridge Mountains as stifling as his parents originally has everything planned out, before he was able to convince them to send him to the Salvatore School.
* **Deconstructed Character Archetype:** Julius is a deconstructed form of the trope *The Charmer* since his cockiness is shown to be fake and used as a mask to disguise how he *really* is.
* **Chick Magnet:** Julius fits into this trope as that he always has girls around him vying for his attention, even though the only attention he wants is from Brianna - the girl who *won't* give it to him.
