## Introduction

The **Scavenger Leader,** or **Lionel Dio Goldenwood** (Belarusian: Ліянэль Дыя Голденвуд)**,** is the leader of the high-class criminals gang, the Hvitur Clan. His right-hand man is Francisco Morales.

Lionel prefers to go by his middle name, Dio (not to be confused with Dio Brando from *Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.)*

## Living

### Hometown

Miami, FL (born in Cambridge but moved to the US at an early age)

## Appearance

Dio is a stylish brunette who tends to wear many outfits, but in his official art, his clothes are quite plain.

In his official art drawing to the right, he has a more masculine appearance compared to his book description. He has the usual sky-blue eyes, dark brown hair, and tan skin. He wears a dark gray top hat and a small golden hoop earring, as well as wearing a white collared shirt with red suspenders and bluish-gray pants. He is of a small and compact build.

In the book, Dio has an androgynous appearance. He has very delicate facial features. He is not strong-looking like most of the other Scavengers, in which as a result, he looks "cute" and "childlike" compared to them. As Sector T's leader he wears two hats that indicate that he is leader, in which the one on the bottom is shorter and lighter-colored. He wears a golden chain necklace with a "$" charm decorated with blue diamond studs, which might also show that he is leader, besides having two hats. He wears a collared white shirt with puffy sleeves, along with a dark gray vest with golden buttons. His hair is divided into thick strands, and his bangs are a set of four strands. His hair is a shade of dark-brown.

Dio has slightly tan skin. His body has a strange feminine shape, showing slightly plump legs and a thin waist. Ellie Nevermore thinks he looks like a woman that way, since she thinks of men differently than the other Scavengers.

According to Raegan, he has a very clear and high voice. He also sounds somewhat like the English voice of Harufrom Beastars, but without the slight accent.

## Personality

Charlie described him as "quite feminine and acts like a little old British lady." He also calls his fellow men names like "my dear" which they think is trivial and extraneous. He is sweet and respectful, but also has a passion for jewelry and treasure.

He is very friendly, affable and tends to see only the good in others.

## Name meaning

The name *Lionel,* of French and English origin, means "young lion." This has nothing to do with his personality, but it may refer to his childhood, where his parents hated him for being gay, when they'd found out when he was just around 14, as revealed in the *Kidnapped!* Arc. He wanted to have freedom, which adds to the term "free like a lion."

Goldenwood has no meaning because Raegan (author) says that she combined the words "golden" and "wood".

His middle name, Dio, means "god" as of Greek origin.

## Trivia

* His favorite cuisine is Japanese, and his favorite food is ramen, as revealed in Arc 4.
* His favorite tea is chamomile. He also likes to put additional herbs in his tea, if he is in the mood to.

## References

* **JoJo's Bizarre Adventure:** Dio was chosen as Lionel's middle name as a reference to *Dio Brando* from the show. Dio Brando could possibly be Raegan's favorite character.
* **KiraKira PreCure A La Mode:** His hairstyle looks awfully similar to a character named *Akira Kenjou,* one of the show's main characters*,* but only in her "Cure Chocolat" form.
* **Team Fortress 2:** The way he wears his hats look like the *Noble Assessment of Hats.*
