cw: anxiety mentioned
[name_f]Ottavia[/name_f] " [name_f]Avia[/name_f] " [name_f]Angelina[/name_f] [name_f]Lotti[/name_f] (19) is the youngest of Salvatore’s siblings and the most anonymous in comparison, granted she has no plans of attempting to surpass anyone, including her brother. Currently majoring in philosophy and theology as a combined degree, Avia’s always been the quiet one of the family, but she’s never been unhappy about this; in fact being up in her room with a good book and an iced coffee is her favourite place to be. This doesn’t stop her respecting how other people handle the spotlight - especially her eldest sister, who’s just had a major breakthrough in her career as an opera singer - but it’s really something [name_f]Avia[/name_f] enjoys being removed from. She’s relieved her sister used their mother’s maiden name for career purposes, as the idea of everyone at school badgering her for autographs or insights into the world her siblings inhabit terrified [name_f]Avia[/name_f] in high school; where even being vice president of the Photography Society took a lot of deliberating when the suggestion was made by one of her close friends. The group she belongs to mostly met in middle school - as one of the local one’s closed down meaning a greater influx of new people - and they’re a second family as far as she’s concerned, trusting them with all her fears, hopes and dreams.
Sometimes [name_f]Avia[/name_f] seems a little lost in her own world - when she isn’t fixed on knitting [an interest she picked up from her other oldest sister] or continuing to capture the natural world on the polaroid her parents got her for graduarion - but she’s more in tune with her surroundings than she seems. At school and college she unintentionally has a talent for uncovering gossip due to people assuming she’s wrapped up in work then spilling ongoing drama, so [name_f]Avia[/name_f] tends to get questions from her own group about what’s going on. This has led to [name_f]Essie[/name_f] joking about never letting her go to Rook’s house, as she’d be an ideal mole for publications looking for the inner workings of the bands dynamic, but [name_f]Avia[/name_f] and he have met a few times, getting on well due to how much privacy means to both of them [and of course, she’s approved of by the sister he loves so dearly, which gets some extra points].
Now entering her second year of university, [name_f]Avia[/name_f] recently moved in with three friends - two she’s known from school, one’s also part of her philosophy course and they bonded after having to find the classroom when it was moved for a couple days - and also accompanying them is one of her friend’s guide dogs, [name_m]Hector[/name_m], who’s become the clear favourite of the house. The group take time to participate in ‘house activites’ - including bowling, bingo and thrifting - which [name_f]Avia[/name_f] enjoys more than she wishes she could express, as its helped improve her confidence considerably. She was officially diagnosed with anxiety only a few years ago, a relief of sorts after debating this internally for several years, and her family supported her following this; especially [name_m]Salvatore[/name_m], who she tends to spend a lot of time with, and always clung to when they were growing up. His metaphor always amuses her, although [name_f]Avia[/name_f] grants herself lucky as the youngest, as by this point in time their parents had practically no contact with the infamous aunt who to proves such a drain on them.
