Thank you so much! I'm glad you like his lore so much :)

Finally completed Elio's Step 2 Bio. So this step is where Elio really goes through it alongside Tam and Elio. He's still very much close with the two.

He’s still bold, still spunky, still the boy who charges into the world with scuffed-up knees and a grin on his face. To classmates, he’s charming, magnetic, effortlessly brilliant. Although what it may look on the surface, he is not a natural charmer like Qiu is. Elio at first glance, with his attitude and everything, he looks like a rebellious child. That can't be further from the truth. He is a straight A student who is in summary, a dream student for any teacher that has him. He joined the choir at school and also helps other students study. Not only do people go up to him to have fun, but also to vent their struggles and find advice. He's still very much emotionally mature. He still brings his skates everywhere with him, although this pair is much more newer as he sadly outgrown the previous ones. He's often hanging around Tam and still crushing on Qiu, with Qiu not so subtly crushing on him too. He also now only goes by Elio. No one calls him Elliot anymore, not even his mother. He also dyed his hair into a much more purple color, although those sun streaks/fade somehow come back.

Everything appears to be going well for Elio. He has everything he could ever want. But not everything is as what it appears on the surface. Elio is stretched thin. Elio and how he deals with conflict is so much worse. He can't handle it at all and absolutely hates it. So, he tries to avoid/prevent it at all cost. Even if it sacrifices his needs/wants, its something he would rather deal with than deal with the conflict. He'll bury all his issues so it won't hurt others, won't burden others. Not put up any boundaries if it prevents conflict. Be open 24/7 if it avoids conflict. He knows he isn't the cause of Qiu and Tam drifting apart, but he feels like he is causing that drift to worsen. The only reason those two interact is because of him. He is now questioning if dropping those friendships would be better for all of them. He's even questioning his identity. He feels like he is slowly losing himself each and every day. Becoming someone he no longer recognizes. 

 hope you enjoy :)

Yeah, White hair is in fact already implemented to the game for a while now. I know that because I created a character who had white hair.

Elio is a morning person, which his mother especially appreciated when he was younger.

To answer the first question, Elio would love to receive chocolate but he would definitely give chocolate on Valentine’s Day. I am unfortunately unable to answer the second question as I don’t know anyone’s MCs well enough.

Omg, thank you. That was my goal, I’m glad I was able to succeed in that <3

Omg, this drawing is so cute <3

I solely use Procreate :)

I recently found this feature (thanks to a certain person here who unintentionally made me discover this feature) and decided to use it. I might draw him later idk.

Anyways, meet my beloved child, Elio. So a main goal in creating him is to round off the trio of Tamarack, Qiu, and him of course. I feel like I did a good job at that. I also made sure he is his own person outside of the trio. He has his flaws, but he tries his best to be there for his friends. He prefers to be called Elio, as he thinks its a more fitting name than Elliot, so yes he'll go through a name change in the future.  Also it's not shown in the pic, but Elio has light streaks in his hair and it fades lighter due to it being bleached from the sun. I wanted him to have a unique hair trait like the other two. He's also Native American :)

I have built the building blocks for his struggles for the future. I want him to have growth alongside the other two and not be stagnant throughout the game. Now let's go into the meaning of his name. Elliot means "The Lord is my god." But like I said, Elio doesn't really like that name and thinks Elio suits him better. The name Elio means "Sun." Belle on the other hand means "Beautiful." So the full meaning of his preferred name is Beautiful Sun, which I think fits him. It is the sun that lets the Tamarack tree grow and it is the sun that brings in the Autumn season. I want Elio to be the type of character to have an impact and instill growth in the other two while still being his own character outside of them.

Some other little fun facts, Elio is Ambidextrous, his ears are pierced, he has a scar on his neck, he has heterochromia (his eyes are two different shades of brown), he is very sentimental and keeps every little item that has that value, he loves roller skating so much he brings his skates everywhere with him, and he does singing lessons. Tamarack and Qiu have one passion that is music related (well Tamarack will have one in the next step), so I wanted Elio to join in on the action. Oh yeah, he is also crushing on Qiu, and is pretty bold with him. He is also really close to Tamarack, but sees her more as family than a love interest. He also adores horror, being the type to get giddy when getting jump scared or watching a horror movie. One other thing, his favorite color is purple!

Anyways, sorry for rant. I just love this little guy too much. I hope you like him too!
