Backstory

Sofiano is a middle child and has 3 siblings. His two older siblings are twins and were showered with attention and affection by their parents until they were old enough to be independent. Shortly after Sofiano was born, and for a short while, he too was showered in the attention and affection a parent would typically show their child; however, his time in the spotlight was cut short as his younger sibling arrived, turning his parents' attention towards them rather than Sofiano, leaving him feeling neglected for a big part of his childhood.

During his youth, Sofiano had a short rebellious streak in an attempt to get any form of attention from his parents. However, when that backfired and they only ended up screaming at him and berating him, Sofiano realized that causing trouble wasn't the right path and instead turned towards his studies, sinking all his time into doing well academically in hopes of receiving praise from his parents; however, even that ended up failing.

Having sunk all his time into his studies, Sofiano never quite developed well socially and struggled with making friends, which in turn just led to him becoming more and more withdrawn, which also made him easy pickings for bullies and the likes, as he would never fight back, nor would he know better when they ended up using him.

Details

Sofiano is a 20-year-old college student who is majoring in English education with literature as his minor. Sofiano stands at around 170 cm tall with a slender build. He has short, straight brown hair with a slender face and heterochromia, with one of his eyes being brown and the other a dark green.

Sofiano grew up in a crowded household with three siblings. Amongst these three siblings, Sofiano was the middle child, which meant most of his parents' attention was focused on his older and younger siblings, leading to him feeling neglected for most of his childhood. Due to this feeling of neglect, Sofiano turned towards studying, hoping to make his parents acknowledge him by doing well in school. By sinking all his time into his studies, Sofiano never developed socially, instead becoming really shy and introverted.

Sofiano is really observant and also a really good listener, easily memorizing details about both people and his surroundings. However, despite being a good listener, he struggles with responding and giving advice, especially if it's a heavy subject, typically just leading to him nodding along.
