Yaay, Veni!! Hehe... me wuv's Veni... I know his hair looks a little funky... upping the contrast did that to him... but it actually looks better than it did before... if you can believe that

Veni is just all kindsa flavors of European. His father is half Italian, half French, and his mother is half German, half Austrian, and he lived in all those countries before he and his parents came to the States. Veni has the most delicious mottled accent that is completely unique to him (although the French and German bits are the most prominent, earning him the nickname "Mr Frangladeutsch".)

I love that violin. I wants it. It's an original Stradivarius Vieuxtemps, priced at over $1.5 mil. And the bow is a 1925 Eugene Sartori... priced at around $23,500. (Oh yeah... Veni is also filthy rich. )

Veni is one of those unfortunate individuals whose parents married for money, not for love ... and hate each other. Growing up watching them fight, he's come to believe that falling in love is a dumb idea; you'll just get your heart broken. So his lyric is:

Sometimes it feels like I don't really know what's going on
And time and time again it seems like everything is wrong in here
But there's still tomorrow, forget the sorrow
And I can be on the last train home
Watch it pass the day as it fades away
No more time to care, no more time today
But we sing if we're going nowhere
And we sing if it's not enough
And we sing, sing without a reason
To ever fall in love

Oh! one last thing.... Veni was extremely photosensitive during his mortality, so he's always been nocturnal, with black hair, pale skin, and red eyes whose pigments have never been altered by the sun. He's the polar opposite of his sire, Lamia: he looks dangerous, but actually, he's really not.
