Family:

Personality: Dimitrie is very easygoing and is usually able to work with whatever happens. He takes pride in what he does and aspires to reach the top. However, he’s not as much of a fighter and will avoid conflict whenever he can. He’s very passive and prefers to try and solve conflicts without resorting to a fight.

He’s a social person and enjoys having conversations with people whenever he can. However, he’s shy whenever he arrives in Paris due to not being well-versed with the language; he soon gets over this as time goes on. He’s a quick thinker and can come up with solutions almost on the spot.

Bio: Growing up along the Romanian coastline bordering the Black Sea, Dimitrie lived with his parents where his father worked as a professional photographer and his mother as a bartender. During his childhood, they would occasionally get visits from his younger cousin, Luminisa, and her family. With both cousins being the only child in their direct family, the two quickly bonded with each other and developed a sibling-like connection. On their last visit to Constanța before the Raducanu family moved to France, Luminisa and Dimitrie made the most of their last visit before they said goodbye.

Upon entering middle school, Dimitrie sought an interest in Mythology and folklore, finding all the stories from different cultures to be incredible. He could always be found with at least one book on myths and legends during the day. As he got older, his interest only grew and pushed him to learn about as much as he could. Once he was out of high school and in a university, he started on his way to take all the courses he would need to get a major in Mythology.

While he studied at the university, he stumbled across Alya’s Ladyblog and became fascinated by the videos and information she had of Ladybug and Chat Noir. He only got more excited when he had realized he had seen figures similar to them in his history books, along with others. As he looked through the information, he could only imagine what Luminisa thought of the duo once he learned they saved Paris multiple times, completely unaware that his younger cousin was a Miraculous holder as well. One day during his studies, he was approached by his program director and was given a chance to study abroad in order to expand his knowledge of myths and legends, getting the chance to see it from another culture. Dimitrie jumped at the chance and agreed. The director said that he would get everything ready and before he knew it, he would be heading to Paris, France.

Upon arriving in Paris, he met with Luminisa again while the students from Française Dupont were on a field trip to the museum. The two cousins crossed paths and had a joyful reunion. Dimitrie had some difficulty introducing himself, but Luminisa helped to make it easier. They parted ways again, but they soon met up again at the Raducanu family's cafe, where he mentioned that Luminisa’s mother has arrangements made for him to stay with them during his study abroad program. During his stay in Paris, akumas continued to appear, causing Dimitrie to try and get a glance of the action. Yet, his main priority is to make sure his cousin and her parents are safe from the villains.

Extra:

• He’s going to college to be a mythology major.
• Dimitrie’s a big fan of Ayla’s Ladyblog and was excited to meet her for the first time.
  
• Since he lived in Romania for most of his life, he’s not as well versed in French as Luminisa and her family. He took courses at his university, but he sometimes still needs Luminisa to help translate for him.
  
• Dimitrie isn’t shy, but he can get shy because of how thick his accent is and how little French he does know.
  
• He swears that he catches glimpses of a figure looking like a tiny bat sometimes, but he’s never actually seen it, so he can’t be certain.
• Despite being cousins, Dimitrie and Luminisa have more of a big brother/little sister relationship since they're both the only child in their immediate families.
• He’s capable of self defense, but he prefers not to use it except in emergencies.
  
• There have been a few times where he’s almost caught Luminisa de-transforming after a battle, but he’s never truly seen it.
