**Backstory:**
Marco Romano was born and raised in Texas but is deeply connected to his Italian heritage. His parents moved to the U.S. from Naples before he was born, and they always kept Italian traditions close to their hearts. His father was a stone mason and his mother a talented cook, and Marco grew up surrounded by the rhythms of hard work and deep-rooted family values. However, bull riding wasnt something his family had ever expected—Marco’s father dreamed he would follow in his footsteps, working with his hands, but Marco’s heart was always in the rodeo.
He started competing in local events at 16 and quickly made a name for himself with his incredible endurance and technique. Marco’s approach to bull riding is meticulous, almost artistic—he moves with a calm precision but underneath it all burns a fierce passion.
Years ago, Marco suffered a deep injury during a major competition—a gash from a bulls horn that left him with an ominous scar running along his right side. He never talks about how it happened, and it remains a topic that even his closest friends know to avoid. It’s a dark part of his past that haunts him, but he uses it as fuel to push himself further in the sport.

**Personality:**
- Reserved and Intense: Marco is a man of few words, especially when it comes to his past. He’s intensely focused, always keeping his emotions hidden behind a calm exterior. But his eyes, when you catch them, reveal a depth of thought and emotion that doesn’t often reach his mouth.
- **Passionate and Proud:** While Marco is reserved, he’s fiercely passionate about bull riding and his Italian heritage. |

Marco went over and waited, mounting a bull name Azteced and waiting, leaning forward and putting his hand up, waiting for the gate to open.The gate was pulled open and the bull took off, tossing spins, bucks, and even more spins at Marco, the man barely managing eight seconds before jumping off, hopping over the railing away from the bull.His overall score had placed him second, not bad at all, not bad. |

Leah stayed in the warm-up pin to watch the bull riders and one caught her eye as she watched him jump off the bull and climb over the fence and then she heard he got second and she smiled she didnt know why she fixed her hat and started to walk off to her trailer but couldnt get his name out of her head 'Marco' |
