## Biographical information

### Status

Active

**Giovanni** is a male Griffon from Griffinstone. He's the son of Grandpa Gilbert and Grandma Ginger and the father of Gilbert Jr. and Gentileschi.

## Personality

His father claims that Giovanni is "lazy", while Gilbert's friends insist that Giovanni is actually a lot like him. While adventurous in his own right, Giovanni would much rather loaf around on the couch while watching cricket all day. For all his laziness, Giovanni also takes after his father in regards of being incredibly crafty and intelligent. As he's not really kin to actually put in the work to earn an honest living, he resorts to finding ways making some bits by doing as little work as possible. Despite this, Giovanni has a moral compass and though he likes making money, he will never resort to endangering others for the sake of getting it and loves his family dearly. In fact, Giovanni can be quite vulnerable and emotional, taking after Ginger that way.

## Appearance

As far as colouring goes, Giovanni possesses a very light cream-brown fur broken only by patches of darker greyish-tan fur on his underbelly, wings, tail, paws, and facial markings. His fur is several shades lighter than Ginger’s, a trait that most likely comes from Gilbert, whose white colour mixed with Ginger's own results in a light brown.

Giovanni inherited three-tufted ear rims from his mother, Ginger. He has spiked bangs, which look rather similar to Gilbert's. His tail tuft matches his father's in shape. His eyes are dark brown, also like his father's.

The colour scheme of Giovanni's beak and talons is more of a golden-brown tone like that of his father, but it is tempered by the brighter light yellow hues of his mother, Ginger. The shape of his beak also resembles his mother's, as well as his eye shape.

## Relationships

### **Grandpa Gilbert**

Though he loves his son, Gilbert is often frustrated by Giovanni's laziness and his reluctance to do anything to help with the business or when he finds himself in a difficult situation. His attempts to lecture Giovanni usually either go over his head or simply fall on deaf ears. Although Gilbert is shown to be annoyed by Giovanni's somewhat lazy and spoiled attitude (openly wondering where he got it from), it also made him want to teach his son that hard honest work is the most rewarding, which Giovanni slowly picks up. He also enjoys watching sport events with his son, despite it being one of the main reasons he's laying around. Aside from that, the father and son have a generally loving relationship. Giovanni is shown to look up to his father and is interested in his job as a royal guard. He also enjoys listening about Gilbert's business trips and the adventures he has with the rest of the guards. Sometimes, Gilbert embarrasses Giovanni in front of others by bringing up incidents involving him as a fledgling, likely as a way to get back at him for not helping around with the merchant business.
