ysabetwordsmithThese are the character notes for "A Great Deal of Energy and Determination."
Stèfanu Gabbana -- He has olive skin and gray eyes. His hair was dark in his youth, now deep gray with silver temples. He is tall and lanky with a long, angular face. He wears glasses. His heritage is Sicilian; he speaks English, Esperanto, French, German, Italian, Sicilian, and Spanish. Born on November 14, 1962, he is 54 years old in 2016.
Stèfanu is the husband of Doménicu Dolce, father of son Giuseppinu (10), daughter Fara (8), son Rimiggiu (6), and daughter Tresa (4). The family runs the famous fashion business Dolce & Gabbana. Technically they live in Sicily, but they travel around so much, they spend more time elsewhere than at home. The fashion business is notable for hiring diverse models, including soups, and for making fashionable clothes to fit a variety of body types. They have connections with the Marionettes but are not a Family business per se. Stèfanu has an eye for unusual combinations of color and pattern.
Origin: His abilities emerged at puberty.
Uniform: Stèfanu is a major trendsetter in Italian fashion with global influence. Sometimes he dresses in fine, flashy menswear. Other times he slouches around in jeans and a T-shirt. He most often wears black or blue, but occasionally more opulent shades of red, gold, or purple.

Argentea (Armina Russo) -- She has olive skin and green eyes. Her long hair was dark in her youth; now the ends are pewter and the top silver, almost white. She is tall and graceful. Her heritage is Italian; she speaks English, Esperanto, French, Greek, Italian, Sicilian, and Spanish. She is 62 years old in 2016.
Armina grew up in Palermo, Sicilia, Italy. She enjoyed beach sports and Italian culture. Through Family connections, she joined the Marionettes as a comare and took the name Argentea. Her high emotional intelligence played well in that career. Her fashion sense also made her popular as a model in the Family. Now an elder, Argentea still works as a comare, but she also teaches younger ones. However, her striking appearance makes it impossible for her to blend into a crowd. She always attracts attention.
Qualities: Master (+6) Comare, Expert (+4) Emotional Intelligence, Expert (+4) Grace, Good (+2) Beach Sports, Good (+2) Fashion Sense, Good (+2) Italian Culture, Good (+2) Tall
Poor (-2) Conspicuous
