dante is the eldest between his sister, adriana, and himself. though dante can be serious, he much prefers to take a lighthearted approach to life.

he doesn't take himself too seriously otherwise he becomes more controlling and he finds that overbearing side annoying.

because of that inner struggle, it is sometimes difficult to find a balance for him. adriana has recently begun to scold him about it since it affects not just his work opportunities but his relationships with family, friends, and love interests.

in the past, he has struggled with his mental health (depression and anxiety) along with substance abuse and an identity crisis.

dante never wanted to come to terms with the fact of his sexuality. growing up with strict parents, he never felt like he could openly tell his parents and he intended to take that secret with him to his grave.

he stayed closeted, but he also started hooking up with a close friend of his, isaac, who also sold him weed or any other drug he had at the time.

one night while he was at a party, he did a line of coke. after that, he constantly craved that blissful effect.

after a while though, his family took note of some changes in personality and adriana discovered his stash by accident. she was 14 and he was 17. she told her parents and they pulled him out of school and sent him away.

for the rest of his high school experience, he was in and out of rehab centers and he was surprised when he managed to graduate.

he didn't go to college, instead getting a couple of jobs to make ends meet.

as of right now, he is seven months sober. he goes to meetings regularly to ensure that he doesn't relapse.

more recently, he came out to adriana and she supported him unconditionally.

he isn't a very talkative guy when it comes to absolute strangers, but once he knows you, he can be a blast to hang out with.
