Dino Bardi, born and raised in the underground city,dreams of going aboveground --to pay for what he did with his brother.

He wears a cropped black jacket over a black tee shirt which is not neatly tucked and somewhat appears to be baggy, and has a black glove on his right hand. He has metal chains hanging around his neck, waist, and left hand, and wears a pant with huge pockets attached on the outside.

## **Personality**

He has an aloof, serious and nonchalant personality, and has leadership skills by which he is able to lead his faction though he can't fully control them. He is also kind and understanding as shown when understands Airis' reasons for not helping him with his plans instead of pressuring her to help him and lets her stay in his house. Because of his opinion of breaking the Spinner of Tales' rule and breaching into the Aboveground, other residents of the City consider him to be a vicious rebel who is a threat to their society though he just wants to get rid of this unfair rule which has robbed them of their freedom. Even thugs think of him as a bad guy and try to sell Airis to him by claiming that she is Aldo's girlfriend, but Dino rescues Airis from them and lets her go.

## **History**

Dino was born and raised in the Underground City along with his older brother Aldo by his father. When he was a child, he and Aldo frequently went to the magical blue cave whose end led to the door linking the City with the Aboveground. One day, Aldo suggested that they sneak to the Aboveground, but Dino was hesitant at first since the Spinner of Tales had warned the Underground City's residents not to break his rule by going to the surface. But he paid heed to Aldo's suggestion and went to Aboveground with him, and befriended Frederick there. Days passed and he continued to sneak there with his brother and played with Frederick, but the Spinner of Tales found out about this one day. The Spinner of Tales questioned the Underground City's residents to punish the culprit, and hisfather came forward to save his sons. So the Spinner of Tales erased his existence and locked that door, and this left the young Dino devastated. From then on he started looking for ways to go Aboveground, and a rift was formed between him and his brother because of their opposing opinions. Ultimately, he started fighting with Aldo and formed the Dino faction.

## **Abilities**

Dino uses powerful wind magic by creating swirls of wind around him, and these swirls appear as bright, shimmering green light swirling around him. He can also make wet things dry using his magic, and is agile enough to deflect and dodge attacks.

## **Relationships**

1. **Frederick Grey-** He was Frederick's childhood friend and met him aboveground when they were children. Dino is annoyed by Frederick's obsession with cheese, and says that they became friends only because fate struck them.
2. **Aldo Bardi-** They were close siblings until they lost their father and formed different factions. Dino's relationship with him became strained and they were distant, but still they deeply cared about each other and avoided conflict as much as possible. And in the end, they resolve that issue and reconcile.

## **Trivia**

* Dino hates cheese and food items having cheese.
* He is not good at cooking and doing other kitchen work as shown when he struggles to peel the shells of boiled eggs without the use of magic.
* He was afraid of getting his face wet when he was a child after some unknown incident in the river aboveground. He explains that it was because he had never seen a river before since there's none in the Underground City.
