Cannoli

From Kokorodatabase

Revision as of 20:07, 1 March 2008

Cannoli following "Kiki" around as per usual.

Cannoli happens to be an alien. Yes, that's right. A member of the Amparists, he was sent to Cafe Mew Mew to protect the girls against the Returners, an enemy group from his home planet. He's quite the flirt, who likes the cafe for the variety of girls found there, but he seems to have made it a goal to win over the "feisty" Kiki Gamu. He seems to be very fascinated with the world around him, being quite the photographer and a pretty decent cook.

History

Before Kokoro

The only information about Cannoli's past at this point is the fact that he grew up in an entirely different environment than that of Earth, so basically, he has close to no knowledge of how many things like technology or even nature work. He's also mentioned that he grew up being close to Kisshu and Sumiko, and that he had supposedly gone out with plenty of girls back in his planet. Pira made note that Cannoli didn't have much of a liking for his world and often wanted to leave, but was afraid to visit Earth due to it being an entirely different place than his home.

Kokoro Days

Cannoli appeared in Kokoro one day, explaining how due to chaos occuring in his home, he was sent to Cafe Mew Mew to protect the mews. At first, it seemed as though no one really liked the guy, considering his first impression was being too flirty and straight-forward with the females, hitting on Ichigo, Gamu, and even Liz. Despite no one's liking towards him, he was still allowed to stay in the cafe, where he started to live for a while, sleeping on the roof every night.

Because of his unfamilarity with the world, Cannoli began to attempt to learn more of the culture, and is attempting to learn how to read and write--something Ichigo is teaching him--seeing as how that is a very important part of everyday life on Earth. Because he's becoming more accepted into the circle, people like Ryou are slightly helping him learn more of the ways of Kokoro.

Having stayed in Kokoro for about three months and with no sign of any danger in the area, Cannoli sensed it was time to return back to his planet to help fight in the war. Because of a distortion in the teleportation system of the aliens possibly caused by the enemies, Cannoli had to wait the distortion to weaken for him to go back. However, he knew once he teleported over there, it would probably be some time before he had the opportunity to return to Kokoro--if he ever got the chance.

Kokoro Draft Future

None available.

Personality

As soon as he popped up, he was recognized as a complete flirt. Basically, he tends to have a strong attraction towards girls and he doesn't keep his attention focused for very long when one shows up in the room. However, he does have some decency in the sense that he doesn't chase after girls who are already in relationships, plus he isn't as big of a pervert as many of the other boys in Kokoro.

He may seem like he only has a one-track mind, but really, he's not the most selfish being in the world either. He knows his boundaries and he isn't as persistent as one may think. Despite the fact that he doesn't know a lot about Earth and its ways, he's smart when it comes to the inner mind, such as feelings and emotions, though really, it's a mystery how he's so understandable on these things. Even so, people still tend to ignore him, not being able to take the guy seriously.

Cannoli also gets extremely fascinated by things very easily, especially with things he hears about for the first time. He's shown quite a fascination with nature, becoming in love with rain and lightning, and also loves to sleep on the café's roof, to watch the stars at night.

According to his sister, Cannoli often enters the "Mode", in which he loses his usual cool and goes on to do something completely reckless based on his emotions, changing from his usual attitude where he plans strategies out and thinks things through.

Relationships

Lovelife

• Kiki Reikaira: Whether or not he actually has real feelings for her is unknown, but it's no secret that Cannoli has some interest in Gamu, even if she threw him into the wall within fifteen seconds of meeting him. He seems to try talking to her a lot, although she usually just gets annoyed and does her best to ignore him. Whenever asked why he bugs her, he answers simply that he wants to get to know her and explains with no further detail. Also, despite the fact that she hates the boy, he still offers his advice to her, which she usually chooses to not follow. He insists upon referring to her by her last name, which is odd as he never does it to anyone else.
• Sumiko: On several occasions, Cannoli mentioned having been heartbroken once before. Eventually, he revealed that the girl was none other than Sumiko, the alien who accompanied him to Cafe Mew Mew. Cannoli and Sumiko had developed a close friendship, which eventually led to a one-sided love on Cannoli's part. However, because Sumiko has remained blinded by her love for Hiroshi, she never did return his feelings, thus it resulted in Cannoli giving up on love.
• Praline: One of the Returners. Apparently, she and Cannoli had some sort of minor relationship in the past and apparently Cannoli had been the one who actually taught her how to fight. Now they are enemies, and knowing his strength, while also still hating him for ending their relationship, she tends to try to avoid him when she can.
• ???: He says he's had "experience" before. Whether he just means flirting with countless girls or if he has actually been in a real relationship before is unknown. But apparently, he's said to be more "experienced" than Ryou for some reason or other.

Family

One day, Pira appeared in Kokoro, looking for Cannoli, claiming to be his little sister. Not much is known about their relationship, however, although it seems that they have that typical love-hate sibling relationship. Pira often refers to her brother as a total idiot, but seems to care much about him, often worrying whenever he's off on a mission.

Friends

In the alien dimension, Cannoli was quite a popular guy, especially with the girls. He did have a couple of close friends though, including Kisshu, who he shares a bit of similarities with personality-wise. Their close friendship is probably how Cannoli turned out the way he is, with her flirtatious nature (or possibly vice versa). Cannoli's also shared that he's been close to Sumiko since a very young age, though surprisingly, they have never been seen together often in the cafe. This is probably due to an awkward tension, considering Cannoli's past unrequited feelings for her.

Arriving in Tokyo, Cannoli didn't exactly give the best first impression, but eventually, some of the cafe residents began to give him a second chance. He seems to get along well with Ryou, whom he's had a couple of deep talks with, especially on Gamu, and who's helped him quite often in understanding Earth a bit more. Plum often takes advantage of the lack of knowledge he has concerning this planet, and attempts to teach him her ways and views on things, though Cannoli, luckily, hasn't been fully corrupted into it.

Cannoli and Ichigo have somewhat of a good friendship, as well. Despite his attempts to flirt with her upon his first arrival, she's ended up looking to him as a friend, having trusted him enough to look after her robot baby, Libby, for some time, so she in turn, tries to help him around the town. Another resident would be Kocha, who seems to like him the most out of everyone, often clinging to him and going on and on about how nice he is (though who doesn't she do that to?).

And of course, there's Gamu, who Cannoli seems to hang around the most, mainly because he enjoys being able to annoy her constantly, though the result is often him getting quite a whack to the head. Still, she has opened up to him quite a few times, despite for her strong dislike towards him, and so, with his metaphorical speeches, he offers advice to her. In the sense, an actual friendship between these two could end up being possible.

Alien Information

Cannoli's attacks as an alien are unknown now, seeing as how no one has seen him fight in an actual battle yet. However, as an alien, he does have the ability to fly, as well as teleport, though he only does so when he needs to get back to his planet, and usually just walks to get his way around Earth. He may also have the ability to call Chimera Anima.

Trivia

• He's Kokoro's very own Zelos! :D
• Cannoli was created for the sake of his authoress wanting another alien and another male (poor Bob isn't a pimp anymore :/).
• I'm beginning to think he's Kokoro's version of Yuki, an alien from the Mew Girls forum who was really close to Sumiko. Cannoli's a better name than Yuki. :3
