Lou has always lived life through her own lens, possessing a free-spirit that is curious, imaginative, and passionate. She is haunted by a relentless desire to leave the world better than she found it, despite the crushing weight of knowing her individual impact is a drop in a polluted ocean.
She likes to be surrounded by the things that make her pulse quicken, which is almost always art-related. She paints obsessively (admittedly to a point thats probably a bit unhealthy) often losing entire days to it without realizing the world outside even exists.
Freedom is her ultimate North Star. Lou hates the sensation of feeling stuck, whether thats in a physical place, a stagnant routine, or even a version of herself. She is constantly drawn to the pull of adventure and the "whats out there," though that perpetual searching can sometimes leave her feeling unmoored, never quite settled.
She is deeply expressive and confident at her core, though that sentiment can certainly shift at times. Lou struggles with borderline personality disorder, and it manifests in the sheer intensity of her emotions and the way she finds herself questioning her own identity constantly. Her biggest fear is that she is simply "too much" for the people around her - or, conversely, not enough. She carries a quiet, persistent hope that one day she will feel truly loved for exactly who she is, both by herself and someone else.

It's hard to get a true read on Gianni - not because he's intentionally guarded, but because he possesses a stoicism and temperament that very little seems to rattle. He has a quiet, thoughtful way with words, often listening more than he speaks. When he does decide to share, it tends to linger with a weight he doesn't seem to realize he's even applied.
He views the world through a lens different than most; holding no interest in the modern obsession with power or the suffocating structure of a nine-to-five life. He prefers a life that is slow and deliberate, following the pursuit of soul over profit.
Italy suits him, but there is an instinctual curiosity toward something beyond the same water, streets, and routine. He doesnt chase it - not actively. Gianni prefers to let life unfold as it will, trusting things will fall into place.
Late at night, he can usually be found by the water, sitting in silence, lost somewhere between memory and meaning. Theres a steadiness to him, something grounding and reflective - like hes always just slightly removed, watching the world as much as hes living in it.
