Olivia and Levi Cranston

Hello, everyone!

Hopefully you all had a great Fourth of July! And to those who don't actually celebrate that holiday, I hope you had an amazing day as well. 

This week, I am going to give you a brief character sketch of Olivia and Levi Cranston, the two main characters from The Magic Video Game. These two characters played major roles in the first and second novels (however, the second novel mainly gives an overview of these characters' lives while they are at home for the summer).

And, without further ado, here is the character sketch of Levi Cranston.

• Levi Cranston was born on October 30th, 1991 in Warwick, Rhode Island.
  
• He hangs around two other boys on a regular basis: Jack Andrews and Asad Prejesh. 
  
• Levi and his two best friends also hang around with David Savino and Kevin and Caleb Boca.
  
• He is an athlete; he plays soccer, basketball, baseball, and tennis. Mostly tennis.
  
• He is extremely headstrong.
  
• Levi does not associate himself around other athletes. He associates himself around gamers, since he is also an avid gamer. His two best friends are also avid gamers, so most of what they talk about is games.
• Levi underwent an emergency tonsillectomy when he was almost fourteen. His recovery was very painful.
  
• He asked out his girlfriend, Mackenzie Burbanks, four days after his tonsillectomy.
• Levi has four older sisters: Louise Jennifer Baranovsky, Elizabeth Michelle Baranovsky, Victoria Kelley Ann Cranston, and Olivia Chloe Monice Cranston. 
  
• He has an adopted younger sister: Evelyn Maeve Cranston (Loden).
  
• Levi’s middle names are Andrew Caleb.
  
• The kids’ names spell out LeVole, which is their mother’s maiden name. 
  
• Levi has broken his foot twice.
  
• The family is partially Jewish, with the children's mother being Jewish, and their father being Methodist.
• He has also cracked his ribs from falling down the stairs when he was fourteen.
  
• Like the majority of his male friends, Levi has a very high metabolism rate, so he eats a lot. 
• Before his family moved to Valparaiso, they lived in Rhode Island and Crown Point.
  
• His family lived in Rhode Island until Levi was six. 
  
• They lived in Crown Point until Levi was ten, and they have lived in the same house in downtown Valparaiso since they moved from Crown Point.
• Levi has had moderate asthma since he was five. He has been hospitalized for it before.
  
• Levi is not a morning person.
  
• Levi is very accident prone. 
  

Here is the (pretty detailed) character sketch of Levi Cranston. Now, here is the character sketch of his older sister of a year, Olivia Cranston.

• Olivia Chloe Monice Cranston was born on May 19th, 1990 in Warwick, Rhode Island.
• In The Magic Video Game, The Tennis Summer, and The Crazy Chicken Escapade, Olivia is dating a boy named Cameron Sedley. It is uncertain if they are still dating in later novels. Although Cameron is mentioned numerous times in the first two novels, he is never formally introduced. However, in The Crazy Chicken Escapade, Levi gives a brief description of Cameron to his friends.
• Olivia's best friend is Audrey Bersigno, who, again, is never formally introduced. She is, however, briefly mentioned in The Tennis Summer by Olivia. In The Crazy Chicken Escapade, Levi mentions Audrey Bersigno to his friends by giving them a brief description of her and also by telling them that Audrey lives close to the Cranston's house.
• Olivia does not make an appearance in The Crazy Chicken Escapade.
• Olivia's favorite color is blue.
• Her most favorite food is anything Italian.
• Unlike Levi, Olivia is not very accident prone.
• Olivia has helped their mother take care of Levi when he was very sick and/or when he was injured.
• Olivia's dream job is to become a nurse, while Levi's dream job is to become a biomedical engineer. Olivia's passion is briefly mentioned in the first novel, but Levi's passion is not mentioned until in later novels.
• Unlike Levi, Olivia is not headstrong.

Here are the brief character sketches of Olivia and Levi Cranston. Next week, stay tuned for brief character sketches of Victoria and Evelyn Maeve Cranston.

Also, on Friday July 18th and Saturday July 19th, A Run in the Game (the sequel to Rockybado) will be listed for FREE on Amazon, so check it out!

Have a great rest of the weekend!
