Virgil Salinas

Virgil is an eleven year old boy who just finished a year of education in middle school.

He is called Turtle by his parents because he "wouldn't come out of his shell."

School life is not fun nor easy for him, because the bull kicks him around like a soccer ball, and he spends his time in the resource room because he can't do his multiplication tables properly.

He yearns to be friends with Valencia Somerset, a girl in his school, but he is too shy to do so.

Virgil is a Pisces, known for their timid, shy, and kind nature, while Valencia is a bold, amiverted, and independent Scorpio. (You do not have to believe this. Only a few are like their zodiacs. I am an  Aries  and I am exactly like the ram, but my sister is a  Leo , and her personality is more like a Virgo)

Virgil could never get the courage to talk to Valencia, so Kaori, a junior physic and one of Virgil's scarce friends, decides to bring them together.

Virgil's family is made out of his 2 outgoing parents and 2 popular and athletic brothers.

Then there is his Lola.

Kaori believes that Lola is one of them, meaning, she has THE GIFT.

We don't know about that, but Lola sure does have many weird dreams about a stone eating a boy.

One day, this comes true.

Chet Bullens, a.k.a the bull, throws Virgil's bag which contains his Guinea pig, Gulliver in it, down a well, and Virgil goes down to retrieve it, but he once he was down, he couldn't come up.

Virgil is later rescued by Kaori, Valencia, and Gen.

Valencia was disguising herself as Rene, because she had seen an add from Kaori and thought that she might fix her nightmares but didn't want to take chances. Kaori sounded like a madwoman to her.

At the end, Virgil is at home, safe and sound.

He stands up to the bull, and asks his mother to call him Virgil, Virgilio, whatever, but just not turtle.

Virgil had the chance to befriend Valencia, but he was too timid to do it.

Kaori, despite knowing that Virgil was still very shy, is disappointed in Virgil and says that "there is no hope for him".

Virgil must have taken these words seriously, because he texts Valencia a message.
