O V E R A L LxxA P P E A R A N C ExxxGiovanni would strongly reject any claim of him being good looking, despite constantly claiming he is a sex god. He has these moments where you could almost see him as an attractive male, other days he looks like human disaster. His impossibly curly hair is never brushed, left to take whatever form it decides. He has bags under his eyes, making him appear tired, but his blue eyes shine with energy and impishness. With a big nose and slightly crooked teeth, Giovanni has a unique look about him. He has a cute smile, showing off his dimples and laugh lines. His face is very expressive and it isn't hard to guess how he's feeling. Giovanni is a slender male and especially squishy with absolutely no trace of muscle. His average height is a sore spot, considering most of the guys are taller than him. Giovanni is waiting until after Hogwarts to add some tattoos and maybe a piercing.
How would Giovanni describe his style? It's hard to describe considering he has all the latest styles, made of the nicest material, yet still looks homeless. His clothes are often mismatched and not coordinated, which he somehow manages to pull off. Giovanni likes clothing with patterns or designs. He had a fondness for leather jackets, especially the one he wears everywhere. It's unknown if he has a solid color in his wardrobe. His clothing is loud and obnoxious, drawing the public eye. As long has he has a trusty pair of sneakers, he's ready to go anywhere. On rare occasion when he does look put together, he can be seen as quite dashing, like a princely pureblood.

Unlike most Ravenclaws, Giovanni doesn't care much for school or grades. He understands the work, but is slow to do it and will intentionally get one wrong just to irritate the teacher. He is a lazy student, making him an odd Ravenclaw. He's been called a false Ravenclaw many times for his inability to do homework. Giovanni doesn't let the bullying get to him, but when his own house gets onto him too, it hurts. He keeps a few good friends around, just because he can get paranoid if people are interested in him (rarely) or his family's money and prestige. He suffers mild paranoia of people using him for their own gains, but Giovanni plays it cool though. He may seem jovial and open, but he is scrutinizing your every move.
Giovanni is a dreamer and a free spirit. He considers himself a spiritual person, seeing and feeling what the world has to offer him. He longs to explore and learn about everything the world has to offer. When you're with Giovanni, you feel like anything is possible and his way of thinking doesn't seem too crazy. He can unlock a part of a person that allows them to feel free and relaxed. Life is so short and it needs to be experienced, he says. Giovanni sees the good and the bad in the world, believing both are needed for the world to continue to function. His ideals are his own, but he is open to other ideals and philosophies. Giovanni is accepting of all people and believes differences need to be celebrated. These ideals were hard to foster at home. His family is forcing him to see reason and logic. All he wants is to dream and imagine, but those dreams seem to be getting further and further away.
Many people don't recognize the depth Giovanni has, which he doesn't typically show. He is more intelligent than he lets on. When he is surprisingly wise, like a monk, he has great insights into life and it's many facets. Giovanni's wisdom is often vague, not understood by others until it becomes relevant. For some, he is wise beyond his years and to others, he sounds like he's been eating those funny mushrooms. Giovanni believes normal conventions need to be challenged, that things aren't 'good as they are.' He wants rules and social norms to be challenged so more can be learned about if this is the truly the right way to live. Giovanni doesn't take things at surface level, preferring to look deeper into a subject and person to find out what makes them tick. He gets too interested in people and can come across a clingy and invasive. He appreciates a challenge whether it be from a class or a person, but he can become obsessed with figuring it out. The same could be said with his love life. Giovanni tends to go after people unattainable, not that he would break up a relationship. He isn't a homewrecker. Giovanni enjoys the chase and learning everything about a person. However, he gives up after being rejected or when things start getting meaningful and has been accused of being hesitant when committing to a relationship. Giovanni believes if love is meant to be, it's meant to be. He believes it should be natural and easy, not understanding the work behind it.

D I S L I K E S xxx Giovanni is convinced you can die of boredom, which is why he stays away from such activities or people, especially if it it is boring and repetitive. Close-mindedness don't sit right with him. He has never been fond of athletics or Quidditch, but he does enjoy watching the games. Being scolded by the staff irritates him, but it happens so often that he's accepted it. Giovanni has always been prone to accidents so flying is difficult for him. He doesn't enjoy things that are unchallenging, easy is boring. Giovanni has never been fond of sweets, one bite is too much.
S T R E N G T H S xxx Giovanni is very open-minded. He doesn't judge others and is willing to listen to others' opinions. It helps with his strong critical thinking skills, the source of his intellect. He has a natural talent for potions and transfiguration, much to his dismay. Giovanni has a warm demeanor, making him more trustworthy initially before he spouts one of his theories. He is very observant are top notch, able to pick up what other people miss. Giovanni is multilingual speaking: Italian, English, French, Spanish, Latin, and Parseltongue. Three of which were self-taught.
F L A W S xxx Giovanni is known to absentminded, always lost in thought and not present in class. He either ignores or doesn't recognize social cues, continuing whether good or bad. Giovanni is brazen in attitude, not apologizing for challenging social conventions; it's also said he can be careless. His rebellious nature gets him in a lot of trouble. Giovanni disregard for his own safety is worrisome. In any endeavor, Giovanni is too loud, making sneaking around a difficult task.
S E C R E T S xxx Giovanni wouldn't consider himself secretive, but he does hide how intelligent he is from others and he would rather explore the world than be stuck taking care of his family's estate. He doesn't share some of his more colorful adventures, because he would get in trouble with the staff. Also, he's an unregistered animagus.
F E A R S xxx Being trapped in an monotonous life, never to venture out. Small spaces freak him out, making him claustrophobia. He fears anyone reading his journal, considering the damage last time.

P A T R O N U S xxx Weasel. Weasels are one of the worldβs smallest carnivores! This means they have to compensate for their size by attitude. Weasels seem like a cute little rodent youβd want to keep as a pet, but they are quite mischievous little things. They are quick-minded and slick. They are masters of chaos and are actually quite intelligent. A weasel is a strong Patronus because it easily outwits any predator that threatens it.

Giovanni was always the odd one in his family. A family of Slytherins didn't understand their free-spirited and curious child. Giovanni was more strictly punished than his brother, considered the disappointment by his parents. He stuck to the shadows and would be off on his own, enjoying the solitude. Giovanni was grateful he didn't have to face all the pressure of running the family business, leaving that to Luca. Giovanni had the freedom to look into other options for his future. He loved the idea of traveling and seeing the world. He would write down all of his ideas in his journal, some for his travels and others for spells. The idea of creating a new spell was fascinating to him, despite the danger.
Hogwarts was a neutral place for Giovanni. Being placed in Ravenclaw fit his personality and his dreams, despite what other Ravenclaws may say. His free-spiritedness was troublesome at Hogwarts, especially when everyone learned his brother was the most powerful Slytherin in his year. Giovanni felt isolated at the time, finding solace in two of his professors. Professor Bromin and Professor Baldock recognized the intellect in him and helped cultivate it. Professor Baldock 'forced' him into the Potions Club because of his ability, and a way to help him make friends.
During the summer of his third year, Giovanni began to journal about a spell in his mind. Lightening has always fascinated him and he wanted to see if he could create a spell that would summon lightening from the sky. He had mapped at the incantation and how to wave the wand, but he had yet to test. One day, he went to do some revising on the spell when he found it missing. From his bedroom window, he saw Luca out in the field behind their house, with Giovanni's journal. He rushed outside, but his brother had already begun the incantation. The spell worked initially, but the strikes went haywire. Luca was struck and no healing magic that Giovanni could do would save him. It was a catastrophe in the Wizarding Community, someone so young and gifted to die. Giovanni's father blamed him for his brother's death. Giovanni had long accepted that it wasn't his fault, but he did play a role in what happened.
His family didn't want Giovanni to be the heir to the family business, but after Luca's death, Giovanni's father began to get sick. The doctor believed it to be an blood malediction, from a past curse on the Mancini family. His mother didn't want to leave the family's good name in the hands of Giovanni so she was quick to get pregnant after Luca's death. The birth was very difficult for his mother, paired with the emotional trauma of losing a child, she ended up passing away in childbirth, leaving Mariella the only survivor. While Giovanni loves his little sister, despite her being a reminder that his parents don't think he's good enough and his mother's death.
Giovanni changed a lot after his mother's and brother's death. He used to be more reserved, but he's begun to come out his shell. He became more defiant and fierce. As his father's illness gets worse, it's apparent he will inherit the family fortune and estate. Giovanni has accepted this, even though he doesn't want to take it over. His father isn't getting any better so it's only a matter of time. Since he doesn't know when he'll be taking over, he's taking advantage of what time he has left to be free.
