[name_m]Lucian[/name_m] " [name_u]Luca[/name_u] " [name_m]Danilo[/name_m] Kowolski (18) is Clover’s boyfriend and main source of support throughout the implosion [name_u]Forest[/name_u] Nymph is enduring. A little ironically, [name_u]Luca[/name_u] has absolutely no knowledge of or ties to the music scene - he’s firmly an aspiring engineering who did a couple of guitar lessons when he was 7 and quickly realised it wasn’t for him. [name_u]Luca[/name_u] specialises in working with electronics, and has helped build several sound systems for both his girlfriends band and a couple others - including Edge of the [name_m]Axe[/name_m] - which he really enjoyed (nothing to do with all the time he got with [name_f]Clover[/name_f] either, no sir). He often jokes about trying to manufacture specialist earpugs to block out the demands and criticisms of their frontman, but seeing [name_f]Clover[/name_f] so upset by how her friend is behaving means [name_u]Luca[/name_u] always offers an ear so she can reflect and confide in him about her complicated feelings given the situation. Her strength is something he admires a lot - very vocally - and when they first became an item, [name_u]Luca[/name_u] even admitted it was a surprise as he considers himself very boring next to her vibrancy.
Also coming from a single parent household, Luca’s circumstances are pretty different from [name_f]Clover[/name_f] and all of his friends: his mom chose IVF to have him after coming out of an emotionally abusive relationship and knowing she wanted a child more than anything but couldn’t face trying to be with anyone while she needed to heal. Since Luca’s gotten older she’s dated a bit - being kept busy by her job as a dermatologist (and he hands out her free skincare advise to anyone who asks) - but hasn’t settled down and [name_u]Luca[/name_u] jokes about how he scares people off given he’s quite protective of her thanks to what he knows she endured. It’s no secret she absolutely loves [name_f]Clover[/name_f] though and is always happy to see her at their house, insisting on giving her leftovers from the traditional Polish dishes [name_u]Luca[/name_u] and her make together.
Outside of working on his engineering projects and supporting the members of [name_u]Forest[/name_u] Nymph to the best of his ability, [name_u]Luca[/name_u] skateboards and hopes to get a motorbike someday (if his mom doesn’t ban him of course). Machinery naturally fascinates him and he would like to pursue it more given his hopes for the future but doesn’t have much time - as well as generally being tired thanks to birning the candle at both ends, a habit he’s not quite able to let go of. His friend group are primarily fellow STEM aspirationals, and one of them is the significant other of [name_u]Forest[/name_u] Nymph’s drummer who’s really been grateful to have [name_u]Luca[/name_u] and [name_f]Clover[/name_f] around given how terribly they’ve been treated especially. [name_u]Luca[/name_u] often jokes about how atypical his friends are though, as you wouldn’t imagine them going for high academics at first glance, and he’ll own up to not being the most intensive where his studies elsewhere are concerned, but Clover’s got him more motivated to try.
