Biography
Hi! I'm Drusiano Fantoccio. Only I prefer to be called Dru because Drusiano is an ugly name. (Mom and Dad named me after my uncle.)

My mom Cassandra grew up with her sister Adamantina. One day, Adamantina traded the family linen for a doll. Cassandra was so angry that she gave her sister a harsh beating. She was proven wrong when the doll made gold coins appear, making them rich. Of course, the neighbors got jealous and stole it, but it wouldn't give them the same riches, so they threw it away. A servant of the king found it, which led him to my mom and her sister. He married my aunt, and eventually found a husband for my mom.

I live in the palace of my uncle. My dad is a count, thus making my mom a countess. I'm an only child, but I do have company in the form of my cousin Allegra. We're best buddies - we spend a lot of time together.

Allegra loves dolls, which she inherited from my aunt. She has a huge collection, and she always invites me to play with them. (I don't mind playing with dolls even though I'm a boy - I hope nobody is giving me any dirty looks!) She even makes her own dolls. She's quite talented.

My true passion, though, is in fixing dolls and other toys. My dad is good at fixing toys, and he taught me all I needed to know. I dream of opening my own doll hospital and fixing toys in need so they'll be good as new.

In terms of the destiny conflict, I'm a Royal. I know that might conflict with my dreams to fix toys, but I'll have lots of time to do what I want after my story. Plus I want to be supportive of my cousin Allegra, who is passionate about her destiny.

Trivia
