biography
This is under construction! Itâs just so damn long and detailed that I gotta give it some more time. But I will give some bullet points to satisfy any curiosity.
mom is an italian immigrant and drug addict. dad disappears before even finding out he knocked up a girl. leoâs grandparents move from italy to raise him, and eventually adopt him.
heâs a sweet and shy child, he has a stutter from a young age and gets teased by other kids and by adults. he doesnât really make any friends but heâs very smart and loves reading.
grandparents are very kind and loving and hard working, which makes leo this way too. learns how to cook from a young age, and is making meals by the age of 10 so his grandparents donât have to work even more.
tries to pray away the gay when he was a young teenager. it doesnât work. he develops a habit: reading all his nonna's trashy romance novels and imagining himself in the place of the woman.
grandpa was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer when leo was in 7th grade. leo began helping out with taking care of him.
he never has a lot of friends, spends a lot of his time studying, doing community service work, or house work and taking care of his nonno
nonno passes away a couple months before leo graduates high school as valedictorian. leo has had major depression since he was a child (undiagnosed for a long time) and this makes it worse
goes to nearby NYU on several scholarships, intent on becoming a doctor. found his interest in the field after having spent so long taking care of his nonno. consistent deanâs list honoree; graduates with honors and summa cum laude, and passes the MCATs with flying colors.
nonna is diagnosed with myasthenia gravis while leo is doing his undergrad; and passes away as he as preparing to start medical school.
leo really has no other family. has never talked much to extended family in italy, and has made measures to cut his mother out of his life as she continues to be a selfish addict who only wants money.
despite being lonely and deeply depressed, leo gets through med school as he buries himself in his work, and has zero trouble getting a residency on match day. during med school he had developed an interest in going into pediatrics specifically.Â
he loves loves loves LOVES being a pediatrician. nothing has ever made him feel so fulfilled and complete.
hates his mother though, as well as being constantly surrounded by memories of his grandparents, whom he misses deeply. decides to up and move his life, landing himself in roswell a little more than 3 years ago
keeps to himself most of the time as heâs still painfully shy. he has a reputation as a great doctor whom patients and their parents love, as heâs just that lovely and sweet
had a pretty bad stutter as a kid, and still sometimes struggles with it a little, but especially when heâs nervous or anxious.
even among friends, not much is known about him other than heâs from new york; is italian-american; he loves to collect antiques, cook, and garden; and he's never, ever been seen dating anybody.
really wants to be a dad and has been considering fostering and adopting by himself
loves bicycling and running but has pretty bad back problems.
likes & hobbies: romantic books, movies, and tv shows; cooking competition shows; being curled up in bed with his cats; cooking and baking; quilting; collecting antiques and vinyls; soul music; doing magic tricks for kids; snow; peace and quiet; jigsaw puzzles; home improvement shows; dessert
he's a total grandma, but also a total dad friend. really just an angel in disguise in spite of his RBF
suggested plots/connections
friendsâhe doesnât have many of these just from virtue of being so shy, but I would like for him to have a support system. important: Leo does not drink alcohol, and REFUSES to be around anyone who is presently drinking. please, please keep this in mind and respect it. benefits: lots of amazing authentic homemade Italian food.
âadopteesââyounger muses who need a good influence in their life. this one is kinda important to me. he makes a VERY good big brother/dad and can be very helpful to those who need it, with minimal judgement. honestly, he kinda needs this too. very good guidance and voice of reason. benefits: lots of amazing authentic homemade Italian food.
specifically, maybe a friend (or two) that helps him with feelings and dating and relationships. he's extremely inexperienced, never been kissed, and is really gonna need the help and support.
honestly the found family thing is so important to me.
