The Character's Background

1) Give a description of your character's personality. Are you noble or sneaky? Arrogant or Humble? Anything about your character that might help the Sorting Hat decide. (Don't worry, you can copy this onto your character page later!) (Remember, personality must be at least one paragraph long for the first two characters, two paragraphs long for the third to eighth characters, and three paragraphs long for the ninth to fifteenth!)

Nikki Morello is the eldest Morello child which are a family who are entrenched in the Sicilian Mafia. His family were never large players but there were a lot of them mixed in here and there with various families. So growing up, Nikki was always surrounded by Mafia members and naturally gravitated that way as he got older. So much of his personality stems from being around that kind of atmosphere growing up.

Nikki is loyal to his family members to a fault. He'd die for any of them, just because that's how the mob taught him to be. He was also brought up in a very rough environment so he's very aggressive with his loyalty. He is not however a hot head about... instead he's very cool and cold. Which only makes it more intimidating when he threatens people for his friends and family members. Nikki is also incredibly strong and could easily beat the s*it out of anyone that he needed to. He goes toe to toe with most men, and Nikki fights dirty. He'll use brass knuckles or slide razors in between his fingers before he hits people to make the damage all the worse, and all the while, he'll keep his cool and not be yelling or screaming at you.

Despite the rough exterior, Nikki does have a heart. It's just buried under a ton of leather, bruises and steel. Nikki doesn't even really know he has a heart, but if the right person were to come along they might be able to break through. It would just take a very special person to do so... and Nikki hasn't met them yet.

2) Write about the history of your character. How did they grow up? Is there an incident that made them the way they are? etc. (Again, you can copy this onto your character page later!) (Remember, history must at least be two paragraphs long for the first two characters, three paragraphs long for the third to eighth character, and four paragraphs long for the ninth to fifteenth character!)

Nikki Morello is actually named Nicostrato Morello, and he was born in Sicily, Italy. He will not however let anyone call him Nicostrato. He'll kick their ass if they so much as even try. Either way, he's the oldest child of the Morello family. Nikki has three little sisters that he's fiercely protective of. One, ________, two years younger, ________, four years younger and _______ seven years younger. Nikki's parents, Gustavo and Lorena Morello met at Beauxbatons and married right after they graduated. Gustavo promptly became a Mafioso and Nikki wasn't born too long after.

Gustavo didn't bother to hide what he did from his kids growing up, so Nikki just got used to the fact. Of course, he always told people his dad was a businessman. The reality of it was that Gustavo was an excellent loan shark, and Nikki's uncle, Savino was Gustavo's muscle. For whatever reason, Nikki didn't look to his father... he looked to his uncle. From a young age, Nikki knew he wanted to be an enforcer like his uncle. He was big and strong, and his dad was tall and skinny. Damn quick with his wand, but still, not as cool to a little kid.

Eventually, Nikki went to Beauxbatons and was put into Ombrelune. Nikki got close with some kids, but none except the children of other mob members knew the truth behind Nikki's family. Nikki was very close with his cousins, the children of Savino. Of course, his sisters as well, but he was more protective of them than friends. Savino's oldest children were a pair of twins, who are Nikki's best friends. The three of them protect each other plus their little siblings, the three girls on Nikki's side and the two boys on the twins'.

Things continued as they were until Nikki's fifth year... that's when things went wrong. One of the clients fought back against Gustavo and Savino when they were sweating him. Savino made a move to punch the guy before the client drew his wand and had it up against Gustavo's throat. He made Savino drop his wand and weapons and back away slowly or he'd kill Gustavo. Savino did so, but then the client slit Gustavo's throat with sectumsempra and quickly disapparated. Savino stood there in shock... his brother... Gustavo... was dead.

Savino took in Lorena, Nikki and his sisters without any questions. They were family, but it also made him realize how dangerous what he was doing truly was. He wanted out of the mob, but they wouldn't let him go. So Savino fled, he packed up his kids, wife and nieces and of course Nikki and ran to England to try and get away from the long arm of the mob. The Morello's just arrived in England, and the kids will attend Hogwarts next fall.
