Paulo 'Coelho' Brandão
Gen 4""Coelho", meaning bunny or rabbit in Portuguese. The name started when Paulo was around 10 years old because he was skinny and had big front teeth. Every time that his friends would come by Paulo's house to call him for training, they would yell "Coelho", Paulo's mother would get infuriated with the name and promptly run them out of the house, this only instigated the kids to continue calling Paulo by Coelho, a nickname that carried into adulthood."
