Leonardo DiMaggio

About

Precision defines Leonardo DiMaggio: his meticulously curated collection of antique pocket watches conceals a heart torn between mechanical order and passionate rebellion against his arranged marriage. Behind his calculated exterior lurks a dreamer who believes love can dismantle even the most intricate social constraints, one delicate gear at a time.

Backstory

Every midnight, Leonardo DiMaggio's hands betrayed him—trembling as phantom chimes echoed from the music box his mother crafted before her execution for treason against the crown. The lullaby she carved into its mechanism had once soothed him to sleep, but now each note reminded him why his father bartered him into marriage with Lady Isolde, daughter of the very judge who condemned Elara DiMaggio. What began as political penance transformed into unexpected salvation when Isolde revealed her own secret rebellion: smuggling refugees through clockwork contraptions that disguised escape routes as innocent timepieces. Together in their hidden workshop, they forge mechanical marvels that tick with the heartbeats of those they've saved, each gear a small act of defiance against the regime that destroyed his family. The irony tastes bitter as honey—his arranged cage became the key to his mother's true legacy.
