01. Lavi keeps learning new ones while asleep in class, playing lessons on his mp3 and wakes speaking Swahili or whatever language it is that he was learning. He has a very up to date version of Rosetta Stone on his laptop and other language-teaching software applications though he never does the lessons, instead just loading the speech files on his mp3. There is a very small song folder for those that nab it from him and it isn't out of battery juice.
02. Teaching Lenalee another Chinese language but instead of putting a sock on the door like he does during other tutoring sessions, he leaves the knob clear. He'd gladly teach Kanda as well (especially Mandarin) but only if the stoic guy asks himself, which is never going to happen.
03. Stripped his shirt off in the subway station and yelled for Lenalee to come make love with him one time when he was drunk and she was taking him home. She ignored him of course but that night Lavi also got more than a dozen phone numbers slipped in his pockets.
04. Gets his tattoos not out of any kind of rebellion, but because words are special to him and each one on his body has a special sort of meaning behind them. They're words that define him. He's currently looking for a new phrase to get somewhere else on his body but is thinking of getting an ancient padlock on the hollow of his throat.
05. Thrives in the cold, which is why he loves New York winters though he frequently goes back up to Vermont during the Christmas holiday (and invites the other three) so they can enjoy the fresh, clean snow together. Though trying to get them to join him in the Polar Bear Club isn't working...
06. Out of the
6,500 languages in the world, Lavi knows how to speak, read, and write about a hundred of them so far. He's in no hurry to learn them all or to really learn all of them. He'd be happy with hitting 500 when he gets to his grandfather's age.
07. Can play any position on the soccer field but he prefers to play the position of keeper (goalie) because he doesn't have to run all around the field like he did when he was a kid (was told he played striker) and it's a relatively easy job if your team is good.
08. Has enough money in the trust fund from the insurance paid out to him - from the accident and his parents' life insurances - that he can afford to live comfortably for at least twenty some years. Could even afford his own place now but prefers the liveliness of the dorms to living by himself.
09. As of right now - despite his degree in linguistics and current major in history - Lavi has no occupation in mind, no job in mind though he has several offers (even from the military), no plans for his life other than to be a student.
10. Is a virgin physically even though mentally his mind has forever been spoiled rotten and is in the gutter by reading and watching erotic material. He'd like to get a girl friend at one point in his life but aside from Lenalee he's seen no one he'd like to let that close.
11. Hates getting tattoos where he can't see them, after getting the birds on his back he refuses to get a tattoo in a place that he cannot see without the aid of a mirror. It's just not worth the extra effort to look at it.
12. Normally wears things of
this collection, big fan of North Face brand.
13. A virgin who hasn't gotten very far at all! He's kissed plenty of girls but I think that he finds intimacy something that he doesn't want to do. Not with just anyone. Which is why he goes around with as many girls as he does. Trying to find the right one to go all the way with and to truly mean that sock he hangs on his and Allen's dorm room door. But if there's no special connection (believes in true love) then he just tutors the girl like normal. And to be honest, he hasn't even once considered guys. I think he's straight.
