4. What type of discipline was your character subjected to at home? Strict? Lenient? 

May was the strict parent, Lisia was the lenient one. Levi figured out pretty early on that while his best little pout and kicked-puppy look would get Lisia to ease up on the punishment, that trick didn’t work on May at all. Eventually, however, Lisia caught on as well and started to be a bit stricter with her son when he tried to get out of trouble by acting cute. Now Uncle Wallace and Uncle Steven, on the other hand, despite being fathers themselves, were totally lenient with their grandnephews any time they babysat them – letting them eat tons of junk food, stay up late, watch R-rated movies, the works. They were totally trying to play up the ‘cool uncle’ angle.

10. Is your character street-smart, book-smart, intelligent, intellectual, slow-witted?

Levi is very emotionally intelligent, so to speak. He’s good at reading people and figuring out the best ways to cheer them up or approach them. He’s the type of friend who everyone goes to for relationship advice or if they’re feeling down. He has a real way with people and easily makes close friends. He’s also a very good gift giver. In terms of book-smarts, he has a bit more trouble, but he can always count on Solomon to help him with his math homework in exchange for some sweets or something.

22. Who are their friends? Lovers? ‘Type’ or ‘ideal’ partner?

Levi has a whole ton of friends, but his closest ones are probably Caleb (Flannery’s son), Nora (Winona’s daughter), Apollon (Wallace and Steven’s son), and Eve (Brendan’s daughter). He’s been dating Rhys (Wally and Anabel’s son) for about a year now and the two get along really well. Levi and Rhys had been close friends from a pretty young age and their relationship evolved from good friends to lovers fairly naturally. It helps the Rhys is also totally Levi’s type and he finds his boyfriend super hot. 

25. What are their hobbies and interests?

Levi’s always loved performing, which led to his current work as a contest idol. He loves singing and dancing and showing off his wonderful pokémon as it brings joy to both him and the audience. He really loves anything that makes others happy, pretty much. He also has an interest in modelling and has done a few shoots organized with help from Uncle Wallace. A less public hobby of his is actually spiritualism and crystals. He first got into crystals from Apollon, who makes jewelry, and then later found an interest in the spiritual side of them, which led into an interest in astrology and tarot reading and the like. Solomon thinks he’s ridiculous for ‘buying into it all’ but Levi loves checking his horoscope and getting in touch with his magic through stones and mindfulness.

43. Does your character have any secrets? If so, are they holding them back?

Levi doesn’t have any huge life-changing secrets, but he does have a bad habit of hiding his insecurities. He feels like he needs to be the emotional pillar for his friends and family and doesn’t like to admit how tiresome it can be for him between his idol work and keeping up his social life. Rhys and Solomon are two of the only people he feels comfortable confiding in. He feels like he can’t tell his parents because they both have high-energy public jobs as well (as a Frontier Brain and Gym Leader) and because he doesn’t want to admit doing what he loves can be too much work sometimes. Keeping his stress a secret is going to come back to bite him soon since barely anyone knows how much he’s struggling.
