Biography
Buon giorno! I'm Claudio Piro. I am the younger of Count Piro's twin sons - my big brother

My father was a beggar boy who was given a pear tree that bore fruit all year round. One winter day, a fox asked to take his pears. Dad gave him the pears, and the fox brought it to the king. The next day, the fox bought more pears, and the king asked if his daughter could marry Dad. The fox got Dad a fine suit from a tailor. On the third day, Dad married the princess. Later, the fox told a shepherd that he should say the sheep belonged to Count Piro (Dad's new title), and did the same with a pigherd and a horseherd. He went to the castle of an ogre and ogress and told them to hide in the oven. When the ogre and the ogress hid in the oven, the fox trapped them in. Dad received the new palace.

(I know...I copied from Carlo.)

My family is doing very well. I'm living with them in a nice home. The fox lives with us too. At the moment, Carlo and I are in our second year of attending Ever After High. Carlo and I are close, and we even share a dorm room.

I grow pear trees with Carlo. The pears are very delicious. We plant them throughout the school grounds. Unlike Carlo, I'm actually willing to tend them as much as possible. During the warmer months I'll spend a few hours a day tending the trees. During breaks, Carlo and I will play with the hose.

I'm not good with animals, though, and I prefer to keep large animals away from the pears. I prefer to concentrate on my work. I wish there were scarecrows that could repel foxes and other animals. Even so, I think animals are cute, even though they get in the way of work.

I'm a Rebel since I'm content with raising pear trees.
