Dante Gonoru (MLTO)

Wandering Warrior

Adventurer

**Dante Gonoru** is a Main Character in "*MLIV:TO*" 's spinoff- "*Miracula Luxia IV: Miracle of The White Star*", as well as "*Miracula Luxia IV: The Oath*".

He is the son (and only child) of Donovan Gonoru and his wife Sharla Gonoru, who recently became fed up with always staying in his parents' kingdom and decided to go outside to learn what it is like being a hero. Grabbing nothing more than his armor, spear and shield, the young do-gooder went outside, slaying many powerful foes on his way to glory.

His adventures eventually led him to Adam Kaos- one of the greatest people that his parents have ever met. Wanting to soak up some of the knowledge that the mighty veteran hero has and use it so he can help others just like him, Dante makes the decision to join him and Aurora, hoping to be useful whenever they need his help.

After staying in the Empire's greatest prison for a while, Dante experiences a strong clairvoyance, a feeling of anticipation that has been absent for a very long time. Thus, he decides to embark on a new journey, hopefully to discover the true meaning of Life.

Dante serves as the Tritagonist of the spinoff, as well as a semi-main character in the original series.

## Personality

Dante is a passionate young man with a fiery personality. He can be angered easily whenever something goes wrong, but has the unique ability to put down the fire in his heart, effectively diminishing all of his anger in nothing more than a few seconds- something which only his paternal uncle was capable of.

Although young and rather incapable of being a leader, Dante is shown to be extremely loyal to the people that he helps. He takes his job very seriously and greatly values those who are capable of putting their own feelings aside to help others, seeing them as mirrors of truth that show him what he has to be.

In times of peace and prosperity, Dante is known to be quite mild-mannered and peaceful. Having inherited this calm attitude from his mother, he often uses it to unwind from whatever problem he had to take care of. In his free time, he likes to read books about magic and heroism, play videogames where you get to be a hero and save others, and check on his family- two of the most important people in his life.

Since his Element is Fire, Dante is shown to be rather annoyed whenever he has to stand in the cold. He greatly despises it and wishes to stay near a warm fireplace instead of freezing to death in the frigid wastelands outside of his father's kingdom. Still, his honor prevents him from simply running away and he does nothing more than complain about his current situation, even though he is completely aware that it is nothing more than a simple monologue.

Sometimes, Dante's own emotions get the best of him. When that happens, he allows his more aggressive self to take control. Such is the case when Geralt decided to donate the money that Almaria gave him and his team to a lonely, besieged orphanage in the middle of nowhere. Dante wanted to take the money for his own kingdom, however, thinking that it will help solve all of its problems when it could not even solve a single one. However, he is also capable of exercising a surprising level of self-control when confronted with strength and passion, withdrawing when he realizes that he is at the wrong side and that it will be best if he simply allows it to happen instead.

In other words, Dante is a kindhearted, selfless, adventure-loving young man. His feelings often get in the way of his true emotions, but he always develops new ways to make up for them.

## Fighting Style

Dante is a skilled fighter with a heart of fire. His primary weapon that he has used ever since he was a young do-gooder is the spear, although he is capable of using other types of weapons in battle, like swords and staffs. However, since the magical spear in his hands helps him channel his inner magic and unleash it more effectively on his opponents, he often prefers to use it instead.

Unlike many warriors who fight with brute force and wield two-handed weapons, Dante is also capable of using a shield. He often sees it as a sanctuary that protects the soul from the cold world outside and uses it to protect others from the same horrors that he is forced to come face to face with.

Dante's specialty lies in magic. Although he is skilled in using magic from all four elements, his most powerful spells are Fire and Wind elemental, as he has trained the most in those circles. In addition, he is also capable of casting a bit of healing magic, although he often has to be very careful, as his fiery personality may cause harm to others instead of helping them.

Despite his incredible skill in both blades and magic, Dante is shown to be rather feeble. He is unable to take many blows in combat and has to rely on others to protect him from stronger opponents. Even so, this weakness serves as an additional advantage, as he grows stronger and angrier whenever he gets hurt.

## Fate

After Dante was rescued from Blackstone Keep- his prison- by Geralt and his allies, he realizes that his place is not in this group. He does not want to drag them down anymore, so he makes the hard decision to embark on his own journey.

Motivated by his kindhearted cousin Geralt, Dante obtains the strength and motivation he needs to embark on his new adventure, in the hopes that he will find what has been missing in his life and that he will not feel like a neglected noble any longer.

The ultimate fate of Dante Gonoru remains "Unknown". However, it is more than certain that he is still alive, still performing noble deeds for the good of this world. There is no way that it could be otherwise.
