I’ll do anything for Eden, she’s my home. I have to protect her, this world won’t look after her… it’s too cruel and it takes things too easily.
Liro is a monster, a creature that has physical mutations that sets them apart from other beings within Spirita. He was born to two loving parents who tried to protect him when war broke out and monsters were massacred by humans. Sadly, his parents were killed in the fighting and he was left alone and scared at a young age. The war ruined his home, and with nowhere to go, he hid away from others and lived on the streets for quite a while.
Eventually he used his abilities with a needle and thread, not only to clothe himself, but also to make clothing for others to survive. His skill with a needle led him to Eden, who needed someone to fix her magical ribbon.
The two became close and stayed together. They live in the city of Spirita, with Grifyen, and try to survive in a world that doesn’t agree with their existence.

The mistreatment of non-humans is written within the law, creating a divide that we are supposed to accept.
Spirita is a beautiful metropolis that houses a variety of people and creatures. It's gorgeous streets and incredible buildings cloak the inequality which is reinforced by the very law itself. A strict hierarchy controls the rights and freedoms of all people. Magic and anything non-human is seen with suspicion and disgust, often treated cruelly and are closely monitored by the government to keep them under control. Under the guise of a bastion of freedom, the darker side of Spirita is covered up by its leaders.
From the Monster Extermination, to the capture of the beast Prodigium, many events have pushed the image of non-humans further down the hierarchy and tightened the laws around their rights. One of the few points of pride for non-humans is the angel leader, Varendel, who fights for the rights of his people and any who are suffering with inequality.

Bella, I have another routine for you to try out. How about we get some time together so you can practice, love?
Adrien works with Bella quite closely, practicing dance routines and creating music that will match her performance style. Though he is slightly over familiar with her and will sometimes receive threats in return. They've developed a teasing, playful relationship. Adrien likes getting her to come out of her shell and is trying to help her find comfort in other people's presence.
He also enjoys buying her new outfits, often dragging her out with him. Adrien has let Bella see into his mind so she has a good grasp over his feelings and how he struggles with himself and his upbringing. She shows signs of frustration at him hiding his struggles, but doesn’t bring it up. They very rarely discuss their pasts, he finds comfort in knowing she understands a similar upbringing and they fill their time with not thinking about their struggles.

Current
Adrien found his way to the Limbo Freak Show by chance. They were performing in town, to offer solace to the people during a hard economic hit. When he saw their show he saw a chance to escape from the life he'd been caged to. They saw his interest and saw something in him that was seeking freedom. He agreed to join them and travel to help bring light to other people.
He became their musician and choreographer. The Show has given him a sense of family and he's coming out of his shell a lot, finding comfort in their company.
History
Adrien was born to two musical geniuses. Isabella and Mateo Giovanni de Luca. The atmosphere he grew up in was suffocating and very strict. His oldest sister, Maria, grew to be cruel and unpleasant as well. Both Adrien and his younger sister, Ani, were struggling under their parents. Neither wanting to be constricted to their parent's plan for them. Even from a young age, Adrien has been very talented with instruments and music. The pressure of his parents made him avoid his responsibilities as much as possible in order to push back about it.
Becoming a little jaded and neglecting himself and his emotions, he tried to protect his sister as much as possible. When his father died, his mother grew even more controlling. Likely to help bring some more control into her life, that she believed she'd lost. When he realised she was going to lock him into a life he didn't want, he left home with no word to his mother or sister, only giving Ani a way to contact him.
Important events
Leaving home
Around the age of twenty, he finally managed to pull out from under his controlling mother. Not long after his father died and her treatment and personality worsened. This event helped him escape an abusive situation, and opened up his life for freedom and a chance to be comfortable in himself again.
Joining the show
Met and joined the freak show very soon after leaving home. Working a dead-end, boring job just to survive, he went to see them perform in the nearby town and was brought in by day/night, who saw a great deal of musical talent in him (As well as a lot of pain).
Reconnecting with his sister
A few years after having joined the freak show, he received word from his sister, Ani, that she was free from their parents and searching for her own direction in life. This event took a great deal of weight off his shoulders. Adrien is highly proud of his sister, and writes to her as much as he can.
