Definitely yes!!!

I live vicariously through Elio, so I would naturally give him most of my strengths while letting him realize certain dreams that I know I can't fully achieve in real life (i.e. being wealthy, fit, talented, heathenistic, charismatic, more physically-capable and socially-flexible, etc.).

For example, his design-filled black aesthetics and love of Lo-Fi Hip-Hop come from me.
