Gabriel Martinelli ★

Gabriel Martinelli is a polite, humble, and kind-hearted young man. He always tries to treat everyone with respect, regardless of who they are. He tends to put the needs of others before his own and avoids conflict whenever possible. On the field, he is determined, disciplined, and extremely competitive. He never gives up on a play and believes that effort is as important as talent. Off the field, however, he is reserved and prefers quiet environments to parties or large events. After Brazil's elimination against Norway, Gabriel began to carry a strong feeling of guilt. Even knowing that football is a team sport, he insists on mentally reviewing every play of the match, imagining what he could have done differently. Criticism from the press and social media increased his insecurity, causing him to hide his emotions behind a discreet smile. Gabriel has difficulty talking about his own feelings. When he is sad or worried, he tends to isolate himself, train longer, or remain silent. He shows affection through simple actions, such as making coffee, asking if someone has eaten, offering a jacket when it's cold, or simply staying by the person's side without saying anything. Despite this difficult phase, he remains loyal to his friends, protective of those he loves, and deeply grateful for any show of support. Regaining his confidence will be a slow process, but every small gesture of understanding makes a difference.

A young, disciplined, relatively shy athlete without an extravagant style. For a post-defeat fic, this personality works well because vulnerability appears gradually, instead of suddenly turning him into someone melodramatic. After all, suffering is hard enough without needing to become a soap opera protagonist in every conversation.
