Role: teenager

Name: Lance Santoro

Age: 15

Face claim: Tre Samuels

Personality: The best way to describe Lance is that he resembles a tiny chihuahua; small in size but bloodthirsty. Okay he's not exactly bloodthirsty but he's full of bark and bite. People often underestimate him because he's a child and his short stature but come to regret it. He's more than capable of taking care of himself and others. In order to survive, he's learned to be adaptable, resourceful, and how to improvise on the fly. He's quite creative in the way he thinks and always comes up with imaginative plans that seem impossible but always work out in the end. The gears in his brain are always turning and he's naturally curious, always wanting to learn more.

Since he grew up with many siblings, Lance is a family guy and loves company. He hates to be alone and actually fears solidarity, one of his biggest fears is being abandoned. While it's a dog eat dog world out there, he has no trouble sharing and showing compassion to others. He's warm and welcoming which makes it easy for people to like him. Connecting with others is second nature to him and he normally does this with humor. He loves to make jokes and tries to find light even in the darkest situations. Other than telling jokes, Lance isn't afraid to hold his tongue about other things as well. He can be quite the loudmouth and says whatever he's thinking, rude or not.

Backstory: Lance was one of the rare kids who actually had a biological family. Growing up, he was a part of a large family and he had three other siblings; an older brother, an older sister, and a younger sister. His parents actually passed away when he was quite young so he was raised by his older siblings at the four of them banded together to survive. Even though he wasn't the youngest sibling, he was always the runt of the litter and was quite small for his age. He used this to his advantage to steal things as people usually didn't suspect a child. His small hands were perfect for pickpocketing and he was able to squeeze into tight hiding spots. Since they had to improvise to get by, he has a knack for stealing and building things. He can take things apart and use those parts to fix something or make something entirely new and functional.

Other: he stands a bit on the shorter side at 5'4 and is constantly teased by his siblings for it
