Biography
Hi! I'm Lelio Colombo, the son of Nardo Aniello and Filadoro. My parents met after my father found my mother mocking snails. He realized she was the daughter of an ogress, who caught him and imprisoned him. Mom helped Dad escape from the ogress. He went to go to the palace to get her a fine dress. The ogress cursed him to forget his love after he kissed. At the palace, his mother kissed him. She arranged his wedding to a Flemish lady. Meanwhile, Mom disguised herself as a man and worked in the kitchen. She made a pie for the prince, and out flew a dove, who reminded Dad of his travels. He decided to take Mom as his wife instead.

Life is pretty happy with my parents. It seems weird that I am a quarter ogre, since I don't even look it or act it. (My ogress grandmother ate her human husband before Mom was born.) I don't mind it though. I have a big appetite, which I guess must come from the ogre side of the family. I have three older sisters named Lara, Lavinia, and Letizia. Being the only boy means that I get to be king some day. Currently my grandfather is king. I'm very close with my paternal grandparents.

Ever After High is a cool place. I've got a nice roommate and there's lots of nice students and teachers. There's even a cooking class. I love cooking and baking. I especially like baking pies, which I get from my mother. I'm also skilled with astronomy - I often look at the stars with my telescope. I'm good with computers, and mapping out the stars is fun. We keep an observatory on the cliffs of my father's kingdom.

I'm set to be the next Filadoro. I know that it might be rather tough having to stay with my ogress grandmother, but at least she can control her hunger around me. I like working in the kitchen and I don't mind doing a little housework, so that's defnitely a plus.
