Mano Bello-Serpente

Prince Mano Bello-Serpente, just called Mano, is the son of Biancabella from Biancabella and the snake. In the destiny conflict, he is a Royal. His story, his role, his people mean the world to him, and he has to do his best to be the ruler they need him to be.

Appearance
Mano has somewhat shaggy black hair that covers his ears and one of his eyes. At least, where one of his eyes would be, he was born without one, and spent most of his life trying to hide that fact. The eye he does have is greenish-brown. Under his hair you can see ridges of scales on his ears and the back of his neck, but again, he tries to hide that fact. His skin is a light tan.

He wears a pale green long sleeved shirt with pearl buttons shaped like fangs, a golden belt and tan pants. He wears brown and green cowboy boots with a snake scale pattern.

Personality
Mano strives for perfection. He has an image that he wants to uphold and because of that he is very selective of who he hangs out with, and what he's seen doing. Because of this, people could very well say he's stuck up, but he actually is very down to earth if you talk to him.

Imperfections and mistakes are not something he does. At least, not something that people know about. If he gets a B on a lesson, the boy runs to the teacher in private and begs for a retake. (Actually, according to Mano, princes do not beg. They plead.)
 * Regal, but actually not regal, just the obvious, I'm trying way too hard to look regal.
 * Definitely not chill.
 * Don't point out his flaws or he'll freak out
 * He often freaks out
 * He admires a lot of people, and needs them to tell him how proud they are of his if they're proud of him for anything at all.
 * He likes his jewels.
 * He puts up walls when it comes to friendship. He'll want to be your friend, but you probably won't know that.

Friends
Any friend he's ever had has judged him for his snake relatives or his lack of an eye. He was seven when he started hiding the scales and the "eye", he was ten when he ordered Dira to stop hanging out with him until she changed her look, because of jokes and teasing from his "friends."

Mother: Bianca Bella-Serpente
He adores his mother, and wants to learn the best way to be the person the story needs him to be and follow his destiny, her path, to the letter. Bianca tries to tell him that trying to pretend he doesn't have snake relatives is just going to hurt him in the future, but he doesn't really listen. Bianca has held him for ours after he told her about kids calling him Blinky, or worse things, and told him that it's their insecurities, not his.

Father: Fernando Charme (deceased)
Fernando died when Mano was six, but even before then, he really only saw his father as a figurehead, rather than a parent. To Mano, his dad wasn't "dad" he was "king." Bianca still misses Fernando, and Mano wants to find someone or something to fill the hole in his mother's heart that Fernando left behind.

Aunt: Sami Serpente
Scary woman who randomly shows up to ask for a favor or give a lecture, they aren't too close.And that's putting it nicely. He doesn't like Sami at all, she horrifies him. He does like the idea of her approving of him, but he knows that that will probably never happen.

Cousin: Dira Serpente
They used to be best friends until the gossip got to Mano, and he knows he hurt her. He can't fix it though, in his mind he can't heal the hurt that all these years of neglect sprung on his cousin, and he knows his mother doesn't approve of any of this that goes on with Dira, but also believes it's important for Dira and Mano to work this out themselves.

Interests
Chess: No one ever beats Mano at chess, but he doesn't compete in this, because it was deemed a weak and unprincely activity from his aunt on his father's side. He still likes to lay in private, if he can find someone to play it with him.
