Player Name: Fryn
Name: Felipe Luis Vila Nova
Nickname: Palhaço (Joker in Portuguese), Luis (to his friends back in Brazil)
Age: 17
Birthday: October 21st
Place of birth: São Paulo, Brazil
Grade: Senior (Silver)
Appearance: At 6'2" tall Felipe is somewhat impossible to miss. He weighs in at 175lbs and is athletic more than muscular. His hair is very dark brown and his eyes are of the same colour. He normally dresses casually but 'cleans up' well if the situation calls for it!
Personality: Quiet and unassuming, Felipe is the owner of a ready smile and normally good temperament. A practical joker but one who somehow gets away with it, thanks to his open and innocent-looking face. A good and loyal friend but also possesses a fiery temper. Understandable given his Brazilian blood, perhaps. He isn't easily provoked but when he is all hell is likely to break loose. He speaks English well but with a heavy Portuguese/Brazilian accent.
Town area: Santa Monica
Job: Currently unemployed but looking!
Transportation: By foot, bicycle or public transport
Family background:
Father: Vicente Vila Nova - owns his own dental practice in Malibu
Mother: Luciana Vila Nova (nee Silveira) - home-maker
Brothers: Ricardo (aged 22) and Victor (aged 24)
Sister: Ana Izabel (aged 15)
Dog: Rufio - pedigree Fila Brasileiro. Fila means 'faithful' when translated and the breed is protective of their master and anyone else they consider to be family. Gentle and patient, yet loyal to a fault.
Felipe was born in São Paulo, Brazil and only recently moved with his family to California. His father wanted to set up his own dental practice and found that virtually impossible to do in São Paulo. Thus the Vila Nova family uprooted to start their new lives in the Land of Opportunity. His two older brothers are both car mechanics, working together to start their own business in nearby Venice Beach. Ana Izabel also attends Silver and her brother is determined to make sure she doesn't encounter any problems there. Felipe is very protective of his sister.

Likes: Felipe likes company and socialising. He tends to make friends pretty easily - at least, he did back in São Paulo. Hopefully that skill will have been brought with him to Santa Monica. He loves soccer and is patriotically proud of his country's team. That's not to say he doesn't appreciate others as well. He is a good fencer and is only too happy to continue that hobby in his new home.
Dislikes: Racial attacks and any form of bullying - either physical or verbal. He also dislikes spending Saturday night at home and alone.
Other Information: Felipe is secretly hoping to go into acting but hasn't revealed that to anyone for fear of ridicule (on the part of his brothers) and lack of support (from his parents). He knows the only person who would offer encouragement is Ana Izabel. Failing that, he would love to be accepted into the Brazilian soccer team - but he knows that's only a dream.
Celebrity used: Rodrigo Santoro

"Felipe! It's past ten!"
"Não… Eu quero dormir ainda mais..." he mumbled into his pillow. The same pillow into which his face was currently pushed. He'd only crawled home last night - this morning? - at 3.30 and was far from ready to leave his bed.
"Felipe!"
"Ok, ok... I'm coming, mama!"
He rolled out from between his sheets and rummaged for his clothes. As he slept only in a pair of shorts, it wouldn't really do to wander downstairs as he was. Ana Izabel was sure to be up and about and besides, his mum would have a fit.
"Bom dia," he greeted on a yawn and his little sister giggled. "What?" he demanded in sleepy good humour.
"You've got your t-shirt on inside out!" she replied and she laughed again.
Felipe favoured her with a glare... The only problem with that was it was pretty obvious to anyone present that his heart wasn't in it. Not one damned bit.
"What do you have planned for today, Felipe?" asked his mother as she placed a mug of black coffee virtually under his nose. He cupped his hands around it in open gratitude.
"Going back to bed," he replied.
"Felipe... no.
"I was joking, mama. Thinking I might check out the town. You wanna come too, Iz?"
"Can I mama? Can I?"
"You promise to look after her, Felipe?"
He drew a cross on his chest with his finger. Ana Izabel giggled again. "What now?" he asked with a scowl.
"Your heart is the other side, silly!"
Felipe rolled his eyes and then returned his attention to their mother. "I'll even take Rufio with me," he assured her. No one would bother them if the family dog was with them. Well, they might try but they wouldn't get all that far.
"Fine. Be back for lunch."
He settled back to enjoy his coffee with his sister opposite barely able to control her excitement. After all, they'd only arrive in Santa Monica yesterday... The entire town was one big adventure to her.
