FULL NAME ♡ Xavier Picante
OTHER NAMES ♡ — Taejin / as his real name is hard to pronounce, most of the students and teachers address him by his given Korean name
NICKNAMES ♡
— My Lord / the name used to a sign of endearment from Sunhwa from when they were young children, but now it is used as respect, since both Xavier and Sunhwa come from high class families
— Jinnie / shorter version of his Korean name, usually his female regulars address him as this because it's cuter and more affectionate — Bulljin / like the word 'bullsh*t,' only replaced with Xavier's name. Clair uses it every time Xavier suggests or does something stupid, but when does Xavier never do something stupid?
PLOTLINES ♡ Human Cheshire AGE ♡ 17 BIRTHDAY ♡ 12/24/1996 BIRTH PLACE ♡ Paris, France HOMETOWN ♡ Seoul, South Korea ETHNICITY ♡ Korean French LANGUAGES ♡ — French / native / he spent most of his childhood in Paris, but even when the family moved to Korea Papa Picante continued speaking French to his children
— Korean / fluent / Mama Picante still spoke to her children in Korean during their childhood, and of course that improved once the family returned to Korea
— English / conversational / since the Picante children will be inheriting the family business one day, Papa Picante wants them to learn the number one language. Xavier is still learning in Daehwan
♡ "I like my friends how I like my macaroons - slightly sweet, yet with a bit of nuttiness." ♡

WHO IS THE FAIREST OF THEM ALL...
FACE CLAIM ♡ suga
— gallery
APPEARANCE ♡ Despite having European blood running through his veins, Xavier received more of the Korean genes from his mother and has slightly dark brown hair and eyes. There is a scar about 2cm running down his right arm, which he received when he was three, after tripping on sharp gravel as he ran through the neighborhood playground. On a regular day, he quickly swishes his hair to a right side part or lifts it up with a bit of gel. Xavier stands at 176cm and weighs 60kg. He is naturally lanky and slim, therefore he cannot gain much muscle, much to his disappointment. But his toned legs from soccer makes up for his lack of upper body muscle. Xavier has both ears pierced, but he only wears earrings when he's not at school. |

but looks aren't everything。
YOU'RE ONLY AS PRETTY ON THE OUTSIDE AS YOU ARE ON THE INSIDE...
PERSONALITY ♡
— frank, mischievous, straightforward, rambunctious, reckless
If you asked anyone who knew Xavier Picante what their opinions were of him, they would answer one of two ways: "Xavier? That dude who has a never ending waterfall of words? Ugh." or "Taejin? Man, he's nothing like Clair!" He definitely catches people's attention with that charming smile and cool aura of his, and people can't help but approach him for a conversation. Unfortunately, the moment he opens his mouth, all first impressions of Xavier shatter. Xavier is no doubt, one of the loudest people you will ever meet. You'll hear his voice before you even see him. His lips never stop flowing and has something to say about almost everything. Xavier is extremely comfortable standing in front of a large crowd and speaking without a trace of awkwardness. He is the kind of person who expresses what's on his mind without hesitation, and is very open in terms of his thoughts and emotions. Xavier exceptionally enjoys entertaining people with his never ending gags, jokes, and pranks. The downfall is, Xavier's pretty ignorant in the way that he lacks awareness because with no filter to purify his words, he speaks with a certain bluntness that sometimes turns people off. He knows no boundaries, not understanding when his humor goes beyond the appropriate timing, and unfortunately, he doesn't care. Xavier's snark however, can be quite deadly, as his mouth works faster than his mind. On one hand, his snark can taken very literally and offensively, often sending the boy down the road of trouble, punishments, and detention. On the better hand, it is one of his best traits, as it makes him Xavier Picante. It's his way to find people who are actually worth being his friends. Xavier understands that his words may hurt other people's feelings, but he doesn't bother sugar coating his words and lying, because he would never keep people in the dark. As annoying as he is, Xavier isn't trying to be mean, he just hates to be the guy who simpers and up to other people. To him, friends are supposed to be people who don't get -hurt easily by his comments, which makes him comfortable around them. He enjoys the company of others, as he can share the many things he wants to say. However, Xavier is perceptive and rather calculating. While he is academically brilliant, he isn't that naive to believe and trust people so easily. It does take some time in order to get him to open up, and when he does admit you into his world, he cares for you in his strange little way — not by displaying signs or words of affection, but rather bestowing playful smacks, gentle teasing, and sometimes even insults. When it comes to trust, Xavier takes the issue very seriously and he doesn't spread his trust around like cheap margarine. If someone does break that trust, he drops you as a friend without hesitation, and won't take you back unless you actually drop down on the knees and beg for his forgiveness. From jumping down flights of stairs three steps at a time to sliding wooden floors in slippery socks to eating vomit flavored jelly beans, Xavier possesses a very daring and reckless spirit. He'll plunge into the newest things just to experience the thrill and accelerating feel. Xavier dislikes to obey orders and therefore is always stirring up trouble wherever he goes. Members often have to help Xavier out because he is so prone to getting in sticky situations. He never listens to instructions and insists on following his own set of rules, forever causing him to mess up drastically. Xavier Picante never regrets, no, he's much too prideful to admit his mistakes unless it is absolutely necessary. Pride is one thing he values, and he despises it when people fuss over or pity him. Xavier never wants to burden others with his own problems and would prefer to deal it by himself. Xavier has trouble controlling his temper. If you do manage to piss him off (which is quite easy), his temper will immediately escalate from a candle flame to a wildfire. When Xavier is frustrated, he tends to blame things on people, even if it is his own fault. Xavier is very rude once the fire has started, and it'll take a lot to calm him down. Xavier rarely apologizes immediately, even if it really is his fault. When he knows he's wrong, however, it's not uncommon to take days or weeks for him to realize it, and he'll apologize with a genuine, somewhat cheeky smile. |

THERE'S MORE TO YOU THAN MEETS THE EYE...
PAST ♡
Henri Picante traveled to Seoul on a business trip on behalf of his father, who was bedridden with the flu at the time. At that time, he was married to someone else, the daughter of French political figures, but it was an arranged marriage and Henri was bored of his strict, rather dull wife. The event Henri had to attend was the celebration of the first anniversary of Golden Royale Hotels & Restorts, a international chain of hotels known for having several worldwide famous celebrities stay at. Henri was yawning through another boring social event when he noticed a beautiful Korean woman enter the ballroom. This woman was Kwon Bokhee, who was fresh out of college and the heiress to the hotels. After a night of dancing and talking, the pair fell in love and Henri extended his stay in Seoul to spend time with Bokhee. Henri immediately divorced his lawful wife (much to the displeasure of his parents) and married Bokhee, who moved to Paris to be with him. Two wailing but healthy babies were born on a cold winter's day on December 24th, 1996. Xavier was the first to enter the world, and Clair came ten minutes after him. Their parents were proud, but the happiness did not last long because Henri soon had to return to his work, while Bokhee had to begin focusing on Golden Royale, since her father stepped down from his position and passed it to her. The twins were put into the care of a nanny and spent six years of their childhood in Paris. They spoke French to their father, nanny,and servants, while they spoke Korean to their mother and her relatives. As a young boy, Xavier was energetic and could not sit still. He always ran around the large space of his house, picking up sticks and tumbling in the grass. His parents thought it was cute and did not bother disciplining his mischievous behavior. At the age of five, he became obsessed with the saxophone ["Maman, it's so shiny! Can I please have it?"], an instrument he expressed patience and passion to. When the twins were seven, Henri announced to his family that they will be returning to Seoul permanently. Xavier soon grew into a handsome boy, courtesy of his parents' good looks, with a love for pranking people and making people smile. When the time came for the twins to attend high school, they didn't have to worry about applying because they were already immediately admitted to Daehwan, the product of their father's hard work. The summer before their second year of high school marked a new beginning: the host club. Xavier and Clair were at their vacation villa in Bali lounging on the beach when Clair suddenly mentioned how she did not want summer to end becauase they would have to return to Daehwan. Xavier (who had been watching way too many adult shows) commented that he wanted to join more clubs and whimsically mentioned the idea of a host club to his sister. Clair immediately shot down the idea, but after Xavier reminded her of the wealthy students at Daehwan and how the club would benefit their connections, she slowly opened to the idea and the twins began discussions on the host club. PRESENT ♡ Xavier is currently a second year at Daehwan with his younger twin sister Clair, with both of them being in the top class of the second years. Every morning, the twins depart their house at seven in the morning with their personal chauffeur driving them in a silver Mercedes Benz. On the car ride, Xavier takes a short nap with his headphones shoved into his ears so he wouldn't have to hear Clair complain about the special student or whatever is bothering her. Xavier may mess around and land in detention a lot, but he surprisingly has excellent grades, his best subject being English. He is that one student who lounges in the back with his legs on the desk talking about unrelated school topics but receives ridiculously high marks because of how much he studies at home. Whenever there is a class debate or discussion going on, Xavier is one of the more vocal students, although half the time he is being sarcastic and not focusing on the given topic. Despite his detention record (he proudly declares he has gotten thirty so far), most teachers appreciate his participation and bright mind, while a few try not to strangle him because of his father. When the tedious school day is over, Xavier visits the music club to review music compositions and rehearsal times before heading to the host club he loves so very much. After a couple of hours of flirting and pleasing his regulars, he and Clair are the last to lock up the place before heading home. Once soccer season starts though, he stays behind at school to practice with his team for another hour or two. As the son of wealthy socialites, Xavier lives in a modern Beverly Hills style mansion, which stands by itself on a hill above another wealthy neighborhood. He even has his own entourage of servants and bodyguards waiting on him. Usually when he arrives home, his personal chef would already have a platter of macaroons or some sort of food waiting for him to eat. Afterwards, he would invite Jimin and Kyungjoo over for a game of basketball. When they're all sweaty and tired, this is the time they begin studying and working on homework, though Kyungjoo mostly watches and lazes around. Henri and Bokhee are rarely at home in time for dinner, so it's mostly Clair and Xavier who eat alone while their butlers try to engage them in conversation or entertain them. At around ten at night, Xavier sits on the balcony outside his room and plays his saxophone or watches a Disney movie. He falls asleep at midnight with his class notes lying by the side of his bed, as he always studies a little before bedtime. On weekends, Xavier normally has a family socalite event or charity to attend to or takes his fiancee out to lavish places. Sometimes he tags along with Kyungjoo to visit the chocolate shop and cause some mischief. TRIVIA ♡ Likes + macaroons ; a French pastry that has been his favorite dessert since childhood + fuzzy socks ; they're comfortable, they keep his feet warm, and they're fun to slide around in + jazz music ; Xavier definitely loves all kinds of music, but being a saxophone player, he favors jazz slightly more because of its smooth beat and rhythm + Disney movies ; call him a softie, but there is a whimsical feel to it and Xavier always enjoys singing along to the musical numbers + arcades ; very vintage and they have the coolest games ever existed in the universe Dislikes
- nosy people ; he may be annoying, but he respects other people's privacy, so please respect his - mathematics ; his worst enemy since he entered school. He and numbers do not click - boredom ; being a boy of excitement, Xavier hates doing nothing. If there's silence, he'll resort into mischief and pulling pranks - rich people stereotypes ; not all wealthy people are snobby and care about themselves! Once a customer told Xavier this and he almost cried on the spot - coffee ; surprisingly, he hates bitter tastes and has a fondess for sweet tastes Habits
> tends to flap his arms like a crazy bird when he's overjoyed or excited > whenever he gets in trouble, he starts babbling in French hoping the person condemning him knows he's a foreigner who doesn't know any better. It doesn't work > calls the people he hates peasants ["You dare make Clair upset, you peasant?!"] > scratches the back of his neck when he's tired > wears his red and white striped fuzzy socks when he's in a good mood Hobbies > practicing soccer and basketball > playng the saxophone > pulling pranks on other people > watching movies, mostly Disney // Xavier is the captain of Daehwan's soccer team, something he takes extreme pride in // he has been playing the saxophone for over ten years, and especially loves to play for his regulars. Sometimes he just jumps up on a table to play, resulting in Clair yelling at him to get down // he is the proud owner of a Golden Retriever named Honey, who has been with the Picante family for over eight years // he doesn't have his driver's license yet, but he already has three cars from his father; a silver Lexus LS, a red Tesla Model S, and a black Porsche Panamera // according to him, the day he is quieter than usual, doesn't make any jokes, and doesn't use sarcasm will be day he is in love with someone // he has his own fanclub, but doesn't pay much attention to them because he believes fanclubs are overrated. He does love them dearly though // since he doesn't drink coffee, Xavier serves his customers rose tea, which is said to improve the skin complexion and is very aromatic // give him fuzzy socks or macaroons and he'll love you forever // although he is very wealthy, Xavier hates wearing designer brands and prefers comfortable, every day brands. He's rejected almost every leather loafers, diamond watches, and silk ties given to him |

never forget。
YOU'RE NEVER ALONE...
FAMILY ♡
— father / Picante, Henri / 48 / socialite / outspoken, organized, princely
It's amazing how different Henri and Xavier are in personality, yet similar in many ways; both have the same lighthearted laugh and I-don't-give-a-crap aura. Although Henri always returns to the Picante household late at night, he makes time to talk to Xavier. On weekends, they bond on the couch over macaroons and shamelessly singing along loudly to Disney movie songs. Xavier admires his father and desires to be like him, though Xavier knows he can never be as orderly and leader-like as his father. Occasionally however, Xavier feels a tiny spark of resentment towards Henri because of how much pressure Henri placed on his son; after all, Xavier doesn't want to live his parents' life, nor does he want to be put in an arranged marriage — mother / Kwon, Bokhee / 42 / head of Golden Royale Hotels & Resorts / free spirited, vivacious, whimsical Xavier used to be a mama's boy, but since Bokhee is always flying around the world attending to the hotels they've grown apart. Xavier mostly video calls and texts his mother, but they're very short as Bokhee is rushing off to meetings with people importance. Bokhee loves her son dearly and does her best to show it, but it often rubs Xavier the wrong way and causes him to think she doesn't. She is very interested in Xavier's life, especially his romantic life, and loves to brag about his soccer game victories to her colleagues. — twin sister / Picante, Claire / 17 / student / authoritative, elegant, manipulative
Xavier and Clair argue over the stupidest things, like who pays the bill for lunch or who opens the door for people. Their relationship usually goes with Xavier taking her things as a prank or sarcastically commenting on her appearance, and she retaliates by childishly hiding his saxophone or elbowing him deep in the gut. Whenever Xavier creates an outrageous plan, she's the first to shoot it down without proper reasoning because she thinks he's an idiot and whatever comes out of Xavier's head equals stupid. Just to annoy her, Xavier slungs his arm over Clair's shoulder or embarrassing her in front of the guys. If someone was to ever hurt or badmouth Clair, Xavier wouldn't hesistate to get revenge. FRIENDS ♡ — close friend, partner in crime / Jang, Kyungjoo / 17 / lively, naive, possessive
As dumb as Kyungjoo is, Xavier values his friendship and company. After all, Kyungjoo isn't like some of the guys at Daehwan who try to up to or badmouth Xavier. And Xavier just loves how calm Kyungjoo is after his relentless pranks and tricks - that just means he can prank Kyungjoo as much as he like. One of their favorite things to do together is converse in French, because no one understands a single thing they're saying, which makes their friendship much more special. Xavier can always rely on Kyungjoo no matter what, whether it's keeping a secret, supplying the host club with sweets, hiding from Clair, or making macaroons just for him. Kyungjoo has even created 'Macaroon Monday' for Xavier, because the latter has such a fondness for them. Plus, Xavier is and forever will be the number one fan/strong supporter of 'Kyungsuk' — close friend, soccer co-captain / Park, Jimin / 17 / charming, curious, playful
If Kyungjoo isn't there for Xavier, then he can certainly rely on Jimin. These two have been together since Xavier's first school day in Seoul, when Jimin was interested in the boy with 'the fancy accent and last name.' The duo is notable for cracking jokes, stealing food from the cooking club, dancing crazily on the soccer field, and tag teaming in general. They make the grownups groan at the sound of their names and are very proud of it. As the co-captain of the soccer team, Jimin is always there to watch Xavier's back and takes charge when he's not available. He is quick to defend Xavier and usually sweet-talks the teachers into shortening their detention time, which is one of the infinite reason why Xavier loves having Jimin around. Jimin visits Xavier at the host club often and, as a joke, requests for Xavier in the girliest voice possible while batting his eyelashes seductively.
— rival / Park, Kyung / 17 / arrogant, humorous, social
Kyung is just nasty to Xavier just because he feels he was the better choice for soccer captain. Both have similar personalities, meaning both are always competing to see who is the funniest, the loudest, and the more fun. As expected, they're not on friendly terms. They shove one another violently during soccer practice and steal the ball when the other is least expecting it so they'd trip. It's mostly Xavier ignoring Kyung, but that doesn't mean he isn't making sarcastic comments on Kyung behind his back. The two are always spitting insults and throwing cruel remarks to each other. Xavier also likes to pull pranks on Kyung, such as replacing his chocolate truffles (props to Kyungjoo) with chocolate covered golf balls and snatching his soccer shorts from his locker and hanging it on the Daehwan flag pole, thus fueling the fire even more.
OTHERS ♡ — fiancee / Song, Sunhwa / 17 / composed, elegant, soft spoken
The two are childhood friends, yet they act almost like strangers. In school, they avoid each other like the plague, but but if they happen to meet in the hallways and in class they smile politely and nod. It's not like Xavier hates Sunhwa; it's just awkward to think she's his future bride. The friendship built from childhood had been strained from the moment they realized they were engaged, and Sunhwa, a rather free minded girl, prefers someone a little more serious and mature than Xavier. They do, however, have a large amount of respect for each other. Xavier admires how strong willed Sunhwa is, while she admires how easily he wins the hearts of others, despite his loud nature. He calls her 'My Lady,' and she calls him 'My Lord,' nicknames that came from their childhood. Even though they don't talk in school, they are willing to assist one another in their studies. As a cosmestics heiress, Sunhwa praticularly excels in chemistry and that happens to be Xavier's lowest subject. She is well aware of the host club, and has even visited Xavier. During social events their parents often force them to attend together and Sunhwa and Xavier have to pretend to act like a couple in love. Under the pressure of his parents, Xavier often delivers extravagant gifts and exotic flowers to Sunhwa's house, while her own parents pressure her into doing the same for him. — favorite female regular / Jin, Hayeon / 16 / bold, fiesty, opinionative Hayeon is absolutely shameless with her interactions with Xavier; she jumps on his lap and runs her fingers through his hair, but that's as far as she goes. Xavier enjoys her company because they always carry a good conversation and bond easily over the smallest things. Hayeon also wins Xavier's affections over his other regulars because she never fails to bring him a bag of macaroons from the best confectionary shop in Seoul. What Xavier likes about Hayeon is how simplistic she is, unlike some of the other girls. She loves what she dubs 'the commoners' things' and discards everything luxurious. Much to the outrage of her parents, Hayeon takes the bus to school and eats cup ramyun rather than gourmet.
