OVERALL PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION:
Giovanni used to be a very handsome man back in his golden days. Despite the fact that he has aged, a lot still traces back to it. Signs of his age and bad habits are visible in his wrinkles and teeth though. He stands at 6'0 and is of average weight. He used to be fit and thin but since he barely can participate in things, he has been gaining weight for a few years now. His hair is dull brown and he wears it back mostly. He also has a small beard. Often he wears stolen clothes on his free hours, then he walks around pretending to be someone else. Mostly to pick up widowed women of his age.
He always wears supportive bracers/bandages around his wrists. Those bones and joins are permanently damaged and he is in pain when he has to move it or gets pressure on it.
NON-MAGICAL SKILLS: Giovanni has very strong legs, he also has a lot of people skills.
MAGICAL SKILLS: None
WEAKNESSES: Vanni's biggest weakness is his addiction to alcohol, he won't get out of bed without a drink. If he didn't had any he gets nervous and shows withdrawal symptoms. There is also the guilt of the death of his sister and her husband resting on his shoulders. Which was the reason he started drinking and never dared to preform ever again.
STRENGTHS: Giovanni will besides exceptions always remain open minded and calm. He isn't very judgmental towards others and often sees chances of success in people while they have given up hope.
QUIRKS & HABITS: Vanni always walks around with his pocket bottle of rum, he sips in now and then in the middle of the conversation when he feels his headache starting to come up.
OVERALL PERSONALITY DESCRIPTION:
Vanni is a man who loves almost every human he meets, he is kind and generous to others. When something happens, he'll always take full responsibility which lead to him having to raise a kid once. Despite the fact that he does well with people on a friendly and family term, he is less lucky with the ladies. Of course he knows how to deal with them but he often only falls for the locals who won't give up their family and house to travel with him. This saddened him but didn't keep him down. What did however is the fact that he convinced the ringmaster that he could still preform as an acrobat despite his damaged wrists. Which eventually lead to his dearest circus members to fall to their deaths. In the past he used to be quite stubborn but things happened and now he regrets ever being that way.

CHARACTER HISTORY:
Giovanni grew up as the youngest child of a circus family. Ever since his birth this way of life had been normal to him. While he never got along very well with his elder brother, he did have a close bond with his sister. When he was young he showed be be really talented at the art of acrobatics, which he preformed together with his sister. He loved doing it and challenging his body to the maximum. When he was young, he was carefree and happy with his life. He loved the members of the circus and had a lot a fun despite the hard work. He was very young when he discovered the world of pleasure and girls, only fourteen actually. This mostly was influenced by his elder coworkers.
For a few years things seemed to be going great, his sister got engaged and married for as far there was money for a wedding. Vanni got along very well with her husband as well. Feliciano as the man was called, served more as a brother to him than his own brother.
His actual brother got a son around that time as well. Coincidentally the mother was the same prostitute Vanni had visited as well. Shortly after, his sister was expecting too. When another boy was born, he was crowned godfather of the little Raphael.
However happy days didn't last forever, at the age of 24 he got injured badly during a practice. Both his wrists were broken and disjointed. With the muggle care they could not be fixed. However he mostly was to blame for the fact he never healed again. Because he didn't want to give up on preforming yet to take a rest. Even when he was told to do so.
One year later he managed to convince the ring master to preform life again with his sister and her husband. Sadly this resulted in a disaster, the decor broke but in his mind his wrist gave out and thus causing his fellow performers to fall to their deaths. If he was at fault or not, he took the blame upon himself. While he had to take care of his now orphaned nephew, he really didn't know how to face the boy. Vanni would accept anything the little lad called him or did to him.
This happening made him make the decision to never preform life again. The once happy and carefree man now became a little shut in. He hid himself behind alcohol and for a couple of years he wasn't able to function in the circus at all.
At last he found a way to help at least a little. He took on the training of new members and worked on the lights, costumes and decor. Giovanni lived by the day. While he had recovered from a huge depression, his addiction would always remain. But at least he knew how to smile again. Helping others kept his mind clear.
At the age of 35, he came across a pregnant woman, traveling alone. Aoife Byrne was much younger than he was, only being 20. The circus was in England at that time. He was there when the woman gave birth, he held her hand and helped her get through it. When the little girl was born, Giovanni was warmed by the pure love he saw on the mother's face. He offered her to come with him and to join the circus, they'd gain protection from the circus in trade of a little work.
As she agreed, he often saw her behind the screens and in their free times. They got to know each other better and the more he spend time with her, the more he knew he was falling in love with her. However he never told her this, seeing she had a rather dark past involving a man and he didn't want to bring back those memories. Vanni always had been kind to her, they remained friends and he took care of the little girl when her mother had to work.
When the girl was aged ten her mother suddenly died of an illness. While Giovanni grieved over Aoife's death, he didn't hesitate to take in the girl who he saw as his own daughter by now. Ever since he has been taking care of her the best he could. While he gives her space he fears for the day he has to let her go.
