DISTINGUISHING FEATURES.
Xenneth is no stranger to sticking out. The most noticeable are his form overall as he is a male with a very charming feminine shape and form. His hair that is paved in light colors, right cheek has a tattoo of a heart placed right there under his eye. His voice is considered feminine because of the tone it takes when he speaks; light, but not heavy like most would have. He wears his rings along his fingers in selective places: his Vongola Guardian ring on the left middle finger apart from his personal rings being his favored Mood Ring on his middle finger of his right hand next to the Friendship Ring, both showing significance as they were given to him by his sister. His thumb ring being a single band his deceased father once worn is on his thumb and represents his strong will that grows as it is needed, but it would fade to show the personality of ditzy young Xenneth we all know and love.
He is a fan of clothing that expresses “bright” and “lively” colors. This usually includes clothes with “flare” and emblems with hearts and stars. He wears some of the strangest designs, usually clothing that are bell bottom open pants legs and matching denim jackets for the attire. He usually wears something to cover his head, the default being a fitted round cap with a flat bill. He is a fan of house work, so an apron and hair bandana is not out of the question. Nobody can forget his default wrap up of a helmet with goggles when he is running his delivery boy duties as well.

"some say it's what's on the inside, counts."
LIKES.
- Happy People! Xenneth likes nothing more than to be by someone positive. It is mostly because he himself always feels as if he’s “upbeat” and “in his own world.” He does not like to face the reality of things, usually being that those things are how harsh people can be, and mean spirited. It usually sets him up to be duped or used easily seeing that he always cater to satisfy someone rather than doing so by his own will. It is Rosetta who usually gives him insight on what he “wants” and not want someone else wants from him.
- Flowers are Xenneth’s first love when it comes to hobbies. They make him feel invigorated but peaceful, happy, and content. It is usually the aroma and sight of one that right away gives him delight as he can spot on from a long distance, and usually they are an excellent resource for him seeing he uses the seeds for his past-time and for battle itself.
- Cooking isn’t just for survival, it’s a way of life! Xenneth is a cook, even though not particularly good at the moment. Most of his recipes are dependant on using his Herbs, spices, and many plant-like remedies. The only thing he can do well is boil a good tea leaf to perfection, no more or no less. Although his cooking skills are poor, it is his skills with herbs and spices applications that make him a gourmet when he is not alone.
- Love! Bitter and sweet, Xenneth is a fan of love Novels, Movies, and any way shape of form of media that is not rated to an extreme degree of inappropriate sexual content. He likes poems, music, and often is heavily with his mind in romantic gestures that surround him making him doze off just by thinking about it. A single “Rose” makes him bubbly eyed and brain dead. It is because of his respect for this however that it can spark some “life” into him when it is threatened.
- Ice Cream, it’s delicious, point blank. Xenneth adores all sorts of flavors: Vanilla, Chocolate, Swirled, Cookies and Cream, Peaches and Cream, Strawberry, or even a good dose of Rocky Road. A trait that both him and his sister shares is that they can not help but to have the treat showing their childish sides. Want to cheer Xenneth up? Go grab a waffle cone and a swirled topping of the cold stuff, and he will get over any problem.
DISLIKES.
- Lies! Who doe not hate a good lie? Xenneth can’t absolutely stand them! When it comes to not only being the Vongola Sun Guardian, but a person, he can’t stand deceit between one person and another. It’s most likely why he is non-compatible with the “Mist” ring’s abilities when Rosetta slipped it on for a try. An honest person with an infinite amount of innocence, Xenneth is constantly seeking the truth and expecting as much between friends.
- Violence is bad! It’s the first rule of being a child next to “Keeping your rule clean” and the “Earning Respect” thing. Xenneth does not like to be violent, nor does he like the sight of it. He often thinks fighting solves nothing to the point where he rather he has himself pummeled than anyone else. He hates the idea of bullies, and often when pushed the right way, he can retaliate in a defensive, but non-aggressive manner.
- Pain! When someone’s hurt, Xenneth is hurt…emotionally that is. Often it is injured and crying that draw Xenneth’s attention as he tries to heal them to the best of his abilities. Being an herbalist, he is quite knowledgeable about certain plants and herbs that can be consumed to be pain killers, inhibiters, and even disinfectants. People that suffer are part of the reason he is what he is today.
- Helplessness is something that Xenneth experiences often, and more than anything, he detests the thought. When someone suffers or is in trouble, more than often, he is stuck at a crossroad unable to know what to do. His lack of self-confidence and self-esteem makes it so that he often places a block between himself and his consciousness of his abilities; in other words, he knows how to bandage a paper cut, but is skeptical about what to do when it comes to a person near death…unless he is given the right push.
- Being Alone is the most darkest feeling that Xenneth could experience. He is often accompanied by people that he befriends. If not that, then it is usually with his family. He is always around people to do things, or even go somewhere for fun. When not surrounded, often, he has that cold and lonely feeling because he feels alienated, useless, or even indifferent because he is considered “Not Normal“ because of his girlish form and not being able to do what others do commonly, such as go “hang out” to have fun. However, he does try his best to understand those ideas of ‘fun.’
STRENGTHS.
- Studying is what keeps Xenneth ahead, because knowledge is power! When It comes to his knowledge on plants, Xenneth knows some things that might be unknown to others, and even valuable. Usually this can be a surprise when it comes to battling and people underestimate the most simplest thing in the world as a “Plant” which Xenneth can bring the potential out with using the Vongola Rings.
- Simplicity is a good thing! When you look from things from afar, it’s usually from up close that one could see the “real” problem, and break it down piece by piece until it is no more. Xenneth is a very simple person, often not looking as far as “complications” can go. Even though his sister, Rosetta, is a genius, it is Xenneth who can show some of his wit just by looking at things from an angle…one that no one else would see when it comes to needing a slow and simple minded solution.
- Strong Potential is within Xenenth just waiting to be released and let loose into the world. It is because of his “blocks“ of his opinions of himself and his inadequately thought perspective in comparison to others that he missed just how strong he is as a person. When things are not about him, solely about others that he loves or wants to protect, Xenneth can often show his true strength as no matter what, he aims to defend precious life: whether plant, animal, or another human being he feels strongly for.
WEAKNESSES.
- Ignorance! For a smart guy, Xenneth can be really dumb. Although he has knowledge of plants, a simple solution to a problem, and vast potential; he is very ditzy. It is because he was so “reserved” and “pampered” that he often does not show strong feelings when it comes to trying to prove himself. He is not very “brave” when the reasons are selfish, nor is he even acknowledgeable of the fact he has the strength or some terrible power seeing he fears it. He is strongest when he acts on instinct and not on awareness.
- Complications can kill a man, but for Xenneth, they cause a complete melt down to the third degree. Xenneth’s mind can not understand a lot of complicated things, including the fact that he is a “Vongola Guardian.” Purely, he understands little about his own strength and skills, but simply acts on a whim and facts about plans that he learns from his books and whatever Rosetta has taught him about the rings. He is not exactly, “dumb” but rather, he needs things to be broken down to him in a more “motherly” way.
- Low Self-Esteem! It‘s just there! Xenneth believes so little in himself, he can not even feel that tying his shoes is an easy task he can accomplish without simple guidance. This bad characteristic comes from years of hounding and loathing that came from his peers in school, which were punished by Rosetta kicking them in the shin nonetheless, but still, the effects remained. Being persuaded that he was “nothing,” Xenneth often acts as if he does not have a strong will when in fact, the Sun Flame is as bright as the actual glowing mass in the sky itself.
HABITS/QUIRKS.
- Nyaaaaaa! Xenneth can not resist a good scream when he suddenly bothered, teased, or surprised. Often, this is within the privacy of his own home, but within battle is no exception, especially when caught off guard. His feminine traits of a voice does not make it seem out of place either, and one would not be surprised by the squeal the second time they hear it.
- Finger presses! Xenneth’s main habit to show when he is nervous, along with blushing. His fingers press into one another as he tends to let his eyes drift. However, it is these finger gestures, no matter what, that show how unsure he is, especially when it comes to talking to someone. His uncertainty is as easy to see as the light of the sun as his emotions are easy to see by via “Mood Ring.”
- Day dreaming! Xenneth is an air-head, especially when it comes to his little fantasies that make him happy. Whenever he thinks about something that embarrasses him, he usually has a blush and his eyes drift as if his mind steadily is taken away by a cloud. An odd dilemma, but at least it shows that he still has a heart and imagination of a young teen, right?
FEARS.
- Being Different is something Xenneth fears because of the way he is. Every since he grew up the way he was, he has been urged by his sister to be the person he wants to be, but at the same time, he feels pressured by others to fall into the crowd just because they disapprove of him not being “manly” or “strong.” However, he has more strength than he could imagine, he just has to unleash it in the right form: via Dying Will.
- Family…Xenneth’s is not in a good condition. It is because of his deceased father and weak mother that he s depressed that one day his family will just slip away. This makes him extra protective and open to ears to his younger sister, Rosetta. Constantly, he is overworking himself and taking care of the house that he lives in, but this great fear is also his greatest strength as Xenneth will do anything to keep his family from slipping away and not being alone ever again.
SECRETS.
- GIRLS! Xenneth fears them, and they are the only thing that can make him completely vulnerable. He likes romances, but the thought of him being in one is as scary to him as an actual monster making a threat on his life right before his eyes. He does not understand girls or women, and this makes him dread them whenever they draw too close to him seeing he is not good with talking to one, let alone breathing. Physical contact causes him to freeze as if he is on ice.
- Faux Vongola Guardian! The Vongola Guardian Ring of the Sun was actually not given to Xenneth, but to his younger sister, Rosetta. Xenneth had been given the ring by his sister, who was aware of her calling, and told to keep it as a keepsake of their friendship. However, Rosetta did not think it was right for her to use the Ring or be within Mafia knowing it would not go over well with Xenneth, nor did she want to leave him alone. Xenneth was given the Ring by Rosetta so that he may bring out his potential as a person.
HITMAN ABILITY. Bo Staff [Wood]
Xenneth’s main weapon of choice is a wooden Bow Staff. It is because of his preference for not attacking aggressively and defending that this weapon is used for covering most ranges with its length being six meters long. It can be used acrobatically to help in evasion, and because of its strength it is easy to defend with. This weapon may seem easy to break, but with Xenneth’s knowledge, it is not as the tree is made out of imported rare “Teak Wood.” With the strange wood, the staff is able to take a beating and with the “Activation” properties of the Sun Flames, Xenneth is able to accelerate cellular growth regardless of the lack of the roots in order to regenerate its form.
Although at current, this is beyond his knowledge…
Xenneth’s main ability is not using his Bo Staff, but rather using the “Activation” property of his Sun Ring and using any seeds he roots along the “Teak Wood” or from a Box Weapon to accelerate the growth. The Seeds or plants may seem useless, but with the “Activation” property of the Sun Flame, they are more potent than usual. The poisons can be quite fatal or effective or a larger scale as they are capable of harm or good depending on how they are applied and the knowledge one has on them. Xenneth is aware of this “knowledge” because of his studies and is able to act not only as the Vongola Sun Guardian, but also Vongola’s effect herbalist/apothecary. This makes him known as the “Hitman with Posies.”
He lacks strength and power when it comes to attacking, but knowledge at knowing when and where to strike is vital to him as it allows him to create openings that fellow fighters can take advantage of, or he can simply play support from afar while others do the fighting. Not a fighter to use on the frontlines, but one that is nearly a necessity to any support, Xenneth is a perfect example of a Support-Type combatant that fights without the need of killing or seriously injuring his foe; he just makes it so they can not fight no longer.
BOX ANIMAL. Bombos della Sole [Bumblebees of the Sun]
Small, but effective. That’s the point of the “Bumblebees of the Sun.” Using this Box Weapon, Xenneth is able to unleash a swarm of Bumblebees that not only are able to attack physically, but also play a good supporting role as a swarm. Small, they are hard to see as they are radiant as a group with glistening Sun Flames upon them. They almost appear as if they are a large cloud of yellow that others are able to see, but hearing the dangerous buzzing, one would know that its no cloud.
The Sun BumbleBees treat Xenneth as if he was their vulnerable queen and sting anyone that draws close. They exhibit two abilities that compliment Xenneth’s fighting style:
- Sole Hormonal Sting ~ Bees have a powerful ability to affect the muscles and chemicals inside one’s body. Usually, they can suppress the female worker bee’s hormones to leave only the Queen to mate. This ability is also able to manipulate the hormones of the opponent upon stinging them in a rapid rate because of the Sun Flame‘s “Activation“ properties, striking points that may increase hormonal output or decrease it. This seems minor, but actually is quite effective in limiting the opponent’s stimulation through their body in moving certain body parts nearly ceasing their movement, or it can be used just as well on an ally to speed up reactions and movements through hormonal manipulation. (Although the sting would be unpleasant)
- Pollenation ~ The Bees are not just useful for a sting, but performing their usual duties. The Sun Bees can spread out in groups, usually carrying pollen along their body and using their wings to spread out any chemical they have on them into a wider area depending on flight pattern and giving potency to the chemical with the Sun’s “Activation” properties. This is a tricky ability, because it can be applied in a stealthy way by a single bee, even though more effective with many. The Sun Bees are able to carry pollen from certain plants Xenneth can use in order to affect far away enemies that otherwise would escape the effects if not applied by the plant’s direct or close range contact.
BOX WEAPON.
- Seeds ~ Okay, it may seem like Xenneth is carelessly storing his junk into Box Weapons, but there is actually reason behind him having seeds. By his little Sister, Rosetta, hinting that seeds are useful for growing things and helping people, she had led him to believe that the Sun’s “Activation” properties can have a miraculous effect on plants…and that it can! Using seeds, Xenneth is able to apply the “Sun Flame” in order to make plants grow with more potent effects than usual to the opponent or ally. An example is using the ability of “Poison Ivy” to not only cause swelling and itching, but tightening tissue causing restricted movements and serious rashes, or even brewing teas that are said to give energy to even heal wounds upon consumption! There is no limit to what Xenneth can do, but if there were, it would be by the number of seeds he can acquire, and considering his family owns a Flower Shop, that being very little.
Seeds are controlled by Xenneth’s rings, each given to him by Rosetta upon her acquiring the Vongola Sun Ring: The Sun Flame, like the Sun, causes growth. The Rain Flames, through the calmness of the friendship ring, causes stimulation and calmness, therefore halting the rapid growth of plants caused by the Sun Flames or the breaking down process caused by the Storm Flame. The Storm Flame completely destroys the plants and scatters seeds and remnants that would be just as potent if exposed by flame. A good, and most popular use, is Cannabis which is used to fool the opponent that Xenneth is using “Mist” properties which is actually incompatible with him. Last but not least is the “Cloud Flame” that subtracts from the potency from “Sun Flame.” Basically, the Flame usage works like this:
Sun Flame = Multiply
Cloud Flame = Divide
Storm Flame = Break Down
Rain Flame = Stop
An effective system that uses Dying Will flames and Plants in order to overwhelm and confuse the opponent. - Gardening Tools ~ Another pile of junk Xenneth keeps, or rather not? Xenneth can store Gardening Tools within his boxes not as weapons, but much like emergency equipment. Using Gardening Tools, he is able to grow and harvest certain types of seeds in a pinch. Usually, outside of battle, his harvested seeds and fruits are more effective because of the growing conditions being more natural: Soil, Actual Sunlight, Water and some of the Sun Flames to speed up the process. You never know when you might need a plant or two with a nice healthy fruit boasted by the strength of the “Sun Flames.”
- Tea Pot and Cups ~ The most high quality money paying Teapot you can buy does more than just makes tea….well, not really. It’s just an ordinary Tea Pot, but still useful. As mentioned before, Xenneth is able to grow nice herbs and spices, all which can supply revitalizing strength to anyone who consumes it on a larger scale. It isn’t a “Magic Potion” but pretty close to it when it comes to helping healing anyone in need.
FULL PERSONALITY.
Xenneth’s personality is in bundles, wraps, whatever it all takes to make a train wreck trying to be patched and did not work.
At best, the violet hair boy is looked up on as wimpy, scared, very limited when it comes to ability. They think he can not do anything right other than ride a small moped and deliver a simple bouquet of roses, or mess with a flower and give it water; in their opinion, the things they think the most simplistic idiot could do. He is often alone, looked at as not being very popular, but noticeable because of his feminine features. The most kick they get out of him is seeing someone fall for him when they think that he is some kind of invisible cute girl. It mostly never fails until someone tells them before hand that Xenneth is a boy. Frowned on as not being very “manly” when it comes to his characteristics, Xenneth’s true strength does not lie in muscles or aggressive overwhelming power, but overwhelming kindness and knowledge.
Xenneth’s thoughts about himself are usually the same when it comes to him looking in a mirror. He has low confidence, nearly any drive, a block between him bringing out the potential of all his power put into his rings. He usually reflects upon himself what others do, because he takes in opinions and other peoples thoughts and opinions without proving them wrong or giving no effort to do so. The only people that stop Xenneth from spiraling into his depression is his very own family and anyone who he befriends and look into. Usually, alone, he feels inadequate and non-confident because he does not care much about failing himself, but he cares a lot about when others depend on them, something he wants to prove to them is that he is useful. Using his very own body, Xenneth often tries to scratch with too and nail to support and protect others close to him until the very end, traits that make him available to be a Vongola Sun Guardian.
Xenneth’s vision to the world? It is in the clouds and not so Earthly. Xenneth is one who tries to escape reality a lot, often turning away from the bad things to think of the good. A good example is when he turns away from people who tease and mock him, he turns to his family who he gives all his attention to rather than standing up and proving himself. He feels that as long as he has the friendship of others already and that someone sees the value of the little things he does, he does not feel like he needs to change, even from being weak. This is a problem because Xenneth’s ability to “adapt” is hindered this way, and he has a strong ability to do so just as natural as nature. When Xenneth looks to the world, he sees sunlight, trees, and laughter, and that keeps him strong in his own way since it keeps him from giving into depression too easily.
When it comes to friends and family, Xenneth is protective. He values the people close to him, the people that believe in him for some minor reason, and the people who get him to get up during the day with hope. It is that same hope that shines bright within Xenneth and makes it so that he drives forth with eagerness and confidence. Even though he is easily dispirited, he is usually thought to be the most confident all because he wakes up thinking that things can change for him since he does not sit around moping most of his days, and he puts up an effort when he is forced to with all his strength, whether pass or fail. However, if not in the best of spirits and sadness settles in, Xenneth can avoid his problems, and sometimes try to avoid life altogether until someone sets him back on the right path.
As a Guardian, Xenneth feels inadequate as ever. Lacking confidence in his abilities, how useless he is, he usually belittles his own self. Even though Xenneth usually wants to prove himself and show that he is useful, being involved in the Mafia and being a “Guardian” is intimidating making it feel as if he is not the right person because of the awkward feeling. Although he values the friendship and closeness of the Mafia Family life, the thought of fighting pushes him away, but it is that same closeness that draws him back as the young boy never abandons those that he cares about. Even in organized crime, Xenneth does not consider “Laws and Rules” but rather “Friendship and Love” since he thinks statistics and procedure are the enemies of bonds and understanding.[/font]

PARENTS.
- Tadashi Hikari - 38 ~ Shibuya Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Deceased)
Tadashi Hikari is a man that revolved things mostly around himself when it came to his life. This included: his business, his relationships, and reputation. A local businessman, he saw most of his life as assets and expenditures, mostly too caught up to think about more than being successful. A dream chaser and risk taker, he did not think of the simple things, and this included his wife and kids as although he was nice to them, he was always thinking about work and let them slip from his grasp. However, he had went to get them back, only to learn that his wife, Chiasa, had taken up a local life as a working mother in her own Flower Shop. Although he was happy to see her and she him, the only flaw was that he wanted her to quit working in order to let him do so, not understanding that the Flower Shop was her passion, and that Xenneth and Rosetta loved being there. Not accepting it, their marriage ended at that time, and Chiasa lived with the children at the Flower Shop. Tadashi had become deceased ironically ill from the very Pharmaceuticals and chemicals he spent his time around, the irony being that he died by the very job he given his life to. - Chiasa Hikari - 39 ~ Tokyo Bloom (Namimori Branch)
Chiasa is a strong willed woman who gives the world to others, and mostly her children. Rosetta and Xenneth show strong remnants of her blood within them because of their kindness and consideration, and uses the work ethic of their father in order to fulfill those needs. Once married to Tadashi, Chiasa felt that she lived a closed life, one that was unfulfilling not because of her life with her family, but because she could not do her part to help by being active other than cooking and cleaning. It was her sister, Chezza Lu, that had opened the window for her offering her the job of working in Tokyo Bloom and insisting that she take over a branch store she would open in a local small town of Namimori. Chiasa was only hesitant to do this because she knew that their family’s business with the Flower Shop revolved around the “Other Business,” being supplying local drugs in assistance to the Mafia. Chiasa had insisted that nothing of the sort would get in the way, and she would keep that business away from the children as long as she lived. With Chiasa agreeing she started the business branch of “Tokyo Bloom” Flower Shop within Namimori and after discarding her marriage, had become independent. However, it is because of another condition, her sudden illness, that she leaves the business in the hands of Xenneth and Rosetta who take over on her bad days as sales associate and delivery girl while Chezza comes in and takes care of her older sister, Chiasa.
SIBLINGS.
- Chezza Lu - [28 ~ Professional Apothecary [Face Claim: Sei Bai Line Burst Angel]
The younger half-sister of Chiasa who has no problem taking care of herself. Family complications caused her to be born, mostly because of the fact that Chiasa’s father had broken up and remarried because of Mafia life. The second wife being selected for him amongst members because of the occasion. He was half-hearted about it, especially Chiasa who showed strong dislike for the Mafia-life, but overtime, she had accepted it as long as she lived under the house and taken care of her younger sister before she pursued a married life for herself. Chezza is more different than Chiasa in terms of that life. Mostly, it is because of how she accepts the life, thinks little of it, and trains herself to the fullest to not be “weak” or “vulnerable.” She has a strong distaste for sexist men, and it is usually her skills and knowledge as a woman using plants and medicines in order to incapacitate the foe, or gain the advantage in a battle…not that she would need it with her martial arts. She has a carefree pop-happy attitude, and the mean-streak that runs in the family. - Rosetta “Berry“ Hikari - 13 ~ Tokyo Bloom (Cashier)/Grade School Student [Face Claim: Nia Tepplin from Gurren Lagann]
Rosetta Hikari is the youngest sibling in the Hikari household, and the young brother of little Xenneth. Unlike Xenneth, Rosetta is a scholar and very dedicated researcher. She studies a lot, more so than Xenneth since she started at an early age with her observations. She constantly shares her secrets with auntie Chezza Lu, including the “Mafia World” that she learned from the woman. The first thing that Rosetta received from Chezza during one of her sea faring trips, was the parcel that was the Vongola Sun Guardian Ring that was to be given to her. However, when explained to her what it was for, Rosetta had refused and had a better idea, that she would give it to Xenneth. It was a farfetched idea that seemed out of place because Xenneth had the same characteristics, but not fearless like his sister, Chezza was convinced by Rosetta insisting he “needed” it. Chezza had given Xenneth the ring as a keepsake from Rosetta and made him swear he would lie and say it was “delivered to him” when the time came to throw suspicion that he was not the original Sun Guardian. Chezza and Rosetta even supplied rings with “Special Properties” and disguised them as common rings so Xenneth would always wear them, but not know exactly what they did until it was time for him to learn. With Rosetta and Chezza looking over Xenneth and helping him with his studies, his quest to mature under the eyes of the genius of the young plant scholar and the Professional Medical Doctor begins now as they baited for Vongola to find him…

FULL HISTORY.
When Xenneth was born, he was considered a “Blessing” because of the first child in the family. The image of him they wanted would be “Peaceful” but “Unique” and special in their own way. That brought the word “Zen” to mind, and thus they named him “Xenneth.”
Throughout the years, Xenneth had shown to be special in his own way as wished. With his father’s absences, he took on the kind traits of his mother, and as usual, was always kind to others and lessons of “Respect, Love, and Family” sunk in easily for him. Even when his younger sister “Rosetta” was born, it seemed that she gained that kindness from Xenneth and continued to support him through being attached to him wherever he may go. This made Xenneth develop a since of “Responsibility” as he watched his sister mature, and defended her, even if his defenses throughout the years ended with him being helpless seeing he was not a fighter. However, it was Rosetta that had gained the traits of being “defensive” as well which nonetheless made Xenneth proud, but at the same time, question his own strength as a Big Brother, and as he got older, a person.
It was when Xenneth was nine when his family was going through tough times. His father had begun to try to accomplish things on his own, all while Xenneth’s mother had gone through being single and out of work. It was his auntie Chezza Lu, who he had seen for the first time in his life, had given their mother a chance. However, Xenneth’s feelings towards Chezza seemed to be “awkward” as he looked at her feeling a strange aura about her, unaware that it was actually his sensitivity to her own Dying Will. Xenneth, as well as Rosetta, were both looked at by Chezza in the same way as she was most interested in her sister’s children because of their potential blood grown out of their family that faintly associated with the Mafia, their fading past was coming back over the horizon with the new generation and themselves working at the Flower Shop would prove that.
Over time, Xenneth had matured, not in the most “full proof” way, but as a person. As he turned eleven, he had shown strong preference and promise in wanting to spend time around flowers and seen them as romantic gesture, while his sister had shown more promise because of her studies revolving around flowers and their effects and uses. This caused for more frequent trips by Chezza Lu who not only brought medicine to Xenneth and Rosetta’s ill mother who begun to become weak because of exhaustion and pushing herself, but also because of Xenneth and Rosetta’s progression. Chezza had made a promise to their sister on one of those days that she would keep them away from their family’s “other side” when she had seen this, but even as Chezza had made that vow, it was far from her control as the next Vongola Sun Guardian would be named, and it was up to her to deliver the trinket to next one in line, Rosetta.
Even as Rosetta had shown promise, and Chezza was hesitant in giving her the ring, the woman had kept to herself. She had studied Rosetta and saw that she was indeed perfect for the role over Xenneth who had shown more of an interest in the simplicity of Flowers. When making her choice and convincing herself that Rosetta would be alright, Chezza had talked to Rosetta and explained the “minor” details to her at first. Surprisingly, the ten year old understood that she would be needed some years for now, but however, her worry mostly drift to Xenneth who was her older thirteen year old brother at the time.
He was klutzy, often ditzy, and he had no courage…
It was Chezza who thought it would be dangerous as Rosetta suggested that he do it. It was not out of “statistics” but “Confidence” that she had in her big brother. Even though Chezza strongly argued that Xenneth was not “Mafia Material,” Rosetta had insisted that he was “Kind” and “Strong” when it came to family, and if that was not what Mafia Material was, then it was certainly needed. The proper young girl made a good argument in its own way and show complete and utter faith in her brother. Chezza had agreed to pass on Rosetta’s duty on one condition and if it was Xenneth matured a little over the years.
Xenneth did not mature “greatly,” but nevertheless, it was the little things that mattered.
Overtime, he had shown instinct with the help and guidance of Rosetta manipulating situations when Chezza was around to witness it. One example was when he had to make a delivery to a dangerous area, she had boasted to Xenneth that what needed to be delivered was very special in sentimental value in her and Xenneth needed to get it to her friend. Even though Xenneth had passed through dangerous neighborhoods, was beaten and bullied, he still gotten the package while bearing a lot of scrapes and wounds. He had only shown aggression in short bursts and it was to get past an obstacle, and he easily adapted to tough conditions when done. Therefore, when Rosetta manipulated the tasks cleverly for Chezza to see, the woman could not deny that Xenenth had potential, but was still hesitant about him being put in that danger.
However, a deal was a deal.
It was on Xenneth’s fifteen birthday that Chezza had presented Xenneth with several rings. Each of them were specially designed and crafted upon request. All of them had special qualities for holding different Dying Will Flames, and depending on Xenneth’s heart, which he seen through a Mood Ring’s changing colors, depended on his direction in obtaining each of the ring’s abilities. It was then that Chezza had tested Xenneth herself using that Mood Ring and the other rings equipped in order to see if he could make them show their appropriate “Dying Will Flame” when needed.
So far, as Chezza put Xenneth to the test, there was only one ring that responded, and that was to Xenneth’s kind support that he had given to his sister during their hardships of their sick mother, but Chezza thought it was more than enough since it was the exception that it was the Vongola Sun Guardian Ring that gained a flame. It was up to Xenneth himself to see if the others would light and respond to his heart in the future.
However, even if Xenneth is not aware of the power of the Vongola Sun Guardian Ring and the strange flame at the moment, a year later, he would be soon enough…[/font]

ROLEPLAY SAMPLE.
“Auntie Chezza! Auntie Chezza!”
It was cool afternoon that mixed with the cries. The flowers had swayed with the inaudible breeze that fallen silent behind the cries. The local park area was free of one spot in particular filled with lush green grass. The trees were patted around with the most purest of soil, and the sounds of the city were nearly silent compared to his crying out and the faint sounds from the other side of the park. It was a peaceful little closed in space with the sunlight reaching down from above through the clear glass of the expansive green house.
“Oh, our ‘Meeting Grounds!‘” the violet haired figure had cooed before he reached to his pocket. His right hand unraveling a sheet of paper signed with ink and rushed in strokes to follow its directions. Here he stood looking about the scenery as the sunlight had lit up some of the most beautiful areas of the area. “I wonder why she wanted me to meet her here.”
It was silent once again. His eyes had looked at the area around him. As usual, the plants and greenery had the usual fragrance and his eyes were lost amongst the beautiful bright colors. The roses are red and the violets were blue, he could not think of another place he would run away too. This was his favorable retreat after all, the calming serenity under the bright yellow sun. The area was wide open, but out of sight because of the tall green plants that covered his appearance. It was like it was a place he could be himself.
He had walked away from the center of the Green House and continued to one of the nearby plants that had called out to him with its vibrant color. His right hand had stretched out towards the edge of the blue petal that had beckoned him to give it a touch of its fluffy light texture. As he smiled warmly with his slow reach, he had felt comforted by each passing second.
“Well, since I‘m probably early…” Xenneth had thought as he reached.
*SLAP*
“Nyaaa!” He jumped startled as his head had tossed. He was shocked at that second only to notice at the next moment, the figure was familiar and glaring at him with serious eyes. He had bypassed the look. All he had seen after all was the familiar face, supple upper body, and hips slightly covered by the long blue and outlined jacket. With a serene smile, he had let out a sigh of relief.
“Oh! Auntie Chezza! You scared meeee-”
His words were cut off as at the next moment he had let out a scream. The form of the woman went from her grasp and then to a whirling hip toss as her right hand reached out towards the direction of Xenneth’s vision that had looked at her from a retreating distance and upside down view. Was he…flying? He had closed his eyes as he felt at the next moment an unpleasant feeling he could do without.
*CRASH*
His back hurt, his eyes were closed. He could feel a soreness he had not felt since he crashed his small little delivery moped on one block before. He had turned his body around attempting to push himself up as he had tried to regain his strength. He looked to Chezza only to see her approaching with a long wooden stick in hand before she had opened her palm and thrust it forth towards his direction.
“Catch…”
With a snap reaction, the boy did catch. He fumbled the stick around as he had gasped from one moment to the next as he saw the item and then the charging form of his auntie who had her arms slung back and feet stamping the ground like a speeding animal. He had recovered slightly kneeling but his breath tried to reach her before she reached him with that dashing speed.
“W-w-wait a minute, Auntie Chezza!”
She did not, and with her closing in, she had spun her body as she leapt through the air aiming her right foot in a spin. The boy had quickly brought up his hand as he lifted the item he had in his grasp to defend himself. He did not register it was a stuck, but fortunately for him, it was a strong and hefty one that took the impact and sent him flying back with minimum damage from the shock as he crashed backwards once more.
“You blocked, Xenneth…” the woman had said taking a stance once more from her kneeling position as she recovered, “That‘s good, but very sloppy. Barely any good for your first spar.”
She had turned her back, eyes going to the shut door of the green house. The glass was clear enough to see the face beyond it as a lone little girl stood with her big eyes gazing towards her and the fallen boy. Chezza had let her eyes narrow coldly while Xenneth had pushed away the bundle greenery and bags of soil that were around his body.
“Why did you do that?!” he had cried, “I could‘ve gotten hurt, and…” Xenneth had paused seeing the sight of the girl beyond the greenhouse door. Chezza closed her eyes, but Xenneth could not simply ignore it. His feet were suddenly not as pained, and his body not as sore as he ignored it to the best of his abilities. He began to rush forth past Chezza as she had stood there silently as the young girl had begun to walk away.
“Rosetta-chan! Wait!”
Xenneth had cried out as he slung open the door and quickly rushed away from the greenhouse. Chezza, alone, had dropped her head and pressed her palm against her forehead as she felt a painful headache trying to take in the situation.
“This is a mistake,” she had thought, “Maybe…he‘s not ready for this kind of life.”
The greenhouse had become partially shaded in darkness making the young woman look to the sky. A single aloof cloud had blocked out the sun above her. Her eyes grimly gazing to the sight as if it was a bad omen, only for a moment. She had become silent as the warmth left the greenhouse without it for a moment as the coolness set in. With a sigh, the young woman had let out a stare towards the boy retreating in the distance a bit pained as he stopped at one instance, reached to his side, and then tried to stand again.
He was relentless, not giving up out of simple concern other than for himself. A reassuring sight, but still, she knew she was guilty for letting this fate befall upon him.
