Elio Richard White

platonic affection, the middle child, the pillow.

Leo, Lee, Ritchie (at home or with old friends.)

trans man (he/him) questioning his sexuality (but it will remain unlabeled.)

17

blonde with soft brown lowlights

long, fluffy and swoopy, long enough to barely be pulled into a tiny low ponytail. he is very proud of his hair. (stealing this hair fully https://bleedingcool.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/boburnham-1200x900.jpg )

sparse kinda scruffy beard he grows out over the winter but keeps shaved in the summer.

greenish gray

white/hispanic mixed

warm tan

athletic, he definitely works out but not in a bodybuilder way, he's still squishy.

moles and DIY ear piercings

he's extremely expressive, he walks fast and with purpose, talks with his hands, has very good posture, etc. he loves people and is usually the center of a group hug or people pile. very dramatic, photogenic and good at poses but looks very silly in candid shots. really hates yelling. his style is mostly pastels/light academia (google it, yes he wears the girly ones they're pretty and he doesn't care) (if this is relevant at all, he has had top surgery so he can also go shirtless under the sweater vests. I think it adds something.)

to Have. he's not materialistic, but he wants change as much as he wants stability and this evens out to a pulse of "what I have is what I'm meant to have, and when it leaves it was meant to leave." Elio is like a rubik's cube, he's very protective of his traditions and loved ones but he has no attachment to most places. it takes awhile for him to commit but once he does he's very loyal. be wary of this, though, if he sees you as no longer fitting into his lifestyle he'll warmly say goodbye to you. no hard feelings, but change is part of his life and he wants more memories than he has. cancer moon/sagi rising energy.

very bad at verbal comfort, thinks he can fix stuff he really can't. thinks he has to be presentable, turns everything into a show but still honest. doesn't know his limits.

just world fallacy, "I am what the fuck I am" in a palatable way, can be too adaptable to his environment, makes things a show.

comfort, making people feel safe, compliments, getting along with people, compromise, adapting, fashion, supporting his friends, moving on from the past.

journalling, design, fashion, socializing, designing things. he just likes experiencing the world.

leo sun, cancer moon, sagittarius rising, esfj, and his love languages are gift giving and quality time.

he's not religious, growing up christian but not strictly he sort of developed an ambivalence towards the idea of god. he sometimes finds it comforting, other times rejects it entirely.

he tries not to think about politics too much, he gets very heated over it and he's left-leaning.

he wants to be a travel journalist, something he's clung to for a long time and that maybe isn't the best fit but it's an ideal he's had for a long time. one of the few things that stays consistent.

puce, oxblood, olive green, saddle brown, tan, wheat, bone white, and cornsilk, in any combination.

italian food. he actually doesn't like south american food that much despite growing up with it. take him to an italian restaurant and you have his whole heart. he can cook his childhood staples pretty well though and they have good memories associated with them so he likes those too.

mini backpacks, puzzles, his shoes, favorite outfits, and bodywash.

he's versatile, really anything that could be used he'll use if he has it. he does prefer to use fire when he can though.

dogs! cats! fish! anything that loves him back!!

he's a cashier at a gas station, the environment keeps him interested and it "builds character."
