Arturo is actually extremely intelligent. From years of trying to prove himself to his family. Since he was 'the black sheep' he was always forced to get good grades in class. And now that he's not living with them, he hasn't forgotten this habit. He can often be found with his nose in a book of some sort. He is very level headed and mature for his age, as well as displaying strong self-confidence. However, he can also be extremely sullen and pessimistic at times, being blunt and saying 'the truth about the world', even if its offensive or hurtful. He believes above all in 'tough love' and 'the truth at all costs.'

Depending on if he is dating a girl or a boy, the way he acts in a relationship is different. He tends to be rougher with men than women, and tends to use more chivalry with women.

Arturo was an accident, conceived long after his parents had decided to give up having children. He overheard his mother and father talking about him being the 'accident child' when he was six. When he turned eight, his mother went insane, completely deciding to abandon him while refusing to get help. She was never around to take care of him, leaving one of his two older brothers home alone with him most of the time. His two older brothers (who were twins) abandoned him without a word, going off to hang with friends rather than care for their younger brother. His father was never around because he had to provide for their family, and never saw the breakdowns the mother had. So Arturo had to learn quickly to care for himself, surviving on a diet of Ramen and Hot dogs.

When he turned ten, his father died of a heart attack caused by stress and the fragments of his mother's mind shattered. At seeing the state of their mother's mind, she was hospitalized. Arturo was too young to live on his own, and sent to live with his Grandfather in Japan.

From here, he were forced to learn Japanese quickly, because his Grandfather did not speak Spanish or English. Arturo initially struggled in school, earning the contempt of his grandfather. Arturo studied as hard as he could, learning as quickly as his mind would allow in an attempt to prove himself to his grandfather. He actually did well for a while, getting straight A's. He even decided to pick up an instrument as an extracurricular, using his own money to buy himself his first ever Harp. He showed impressive prowess at the harp, and some at his own school called him a 'genius.' His grandfather also expected Arturo to care for himself, and here, Arturo learned to cook healthier meals.

However, everything changed when Arturo kissed his first man. His grandfather had brought him up as a strict Catholic, so the idea of being with a man enraged Arturo's grandfather and he kicked him out of the house and onto the street at the young age of fifteen.

From here, Arturo picked up a few jobs here and there with whoever would hire him, even living in the Amusement park and resorting to stealing a few times to survive. At last he got his break when he lied about his age and was hired as a cook for the Family Restaurant. Proving himself to them as a line cook, he soon was promoted to Sous chef.

During his five years alone, Arturo adopted a kitten named 'Carlita.' The brown fluffy tabby lives in his apartment, and is toilet trained.

Arturo has plans to be a doctor of some sort eventually. Just so he can rub it in his family's face. In particular he wants to work with the brain, this might have something to do with his mother who went insane.
