Nikki has had her sights on the goal since age fourteen: to become the best nail tech in the Long Beach area. In order to achieve that goal, she plans to enroll in cosmetology school as soon as she graduates and enroll in every additional seminar that can help her expand her knowledge, all the while continuing to perfect her craft along the way. Her mother’s business, along with her under the table work on friends and family, means that she’s blessed with the benefit of having a steady client base to help her take her first steps into the competitive field.

💋 Hair: Brown and sometimes with highlights | Fashionably Styled
💋 Eyes: Brown
💋 Height: 5’3”
💋 Body Type: Slim | Petite.
💋 Clothing Style: Nikki’s personal style can’t exactly be defined under one term. She can go from coquette, to cottagecore, to grunge, to Y2K all in the span of days. She wears whatever feels right with her mood, and her closet holds a variety of items to make this happen.
💋 Body Markings: A few scars along her legs from cheer. | A birthmark on her right cheek under her eye, and one oddly shaped like a star in her shoulder blade. | One lobe piercing in each ear. | Belly button piercing (don't tell her parents!)

💋 Youngest daughter of Nicolas and Hilda Vega, and younger sister to Mikaela.
💋 Born and raised in Long Beach, and has attended schools in the area all her life.
💋 Was brought up in a stable home with hard-working parents who always made sure their girls were comfortable and well taken care of.
💋 Being born into a Hispanic family meant that Nicolas and Hilda were strict about their positions regarding outfits, dating, parties, etc. But because she was blessed to be the youngest child, Nikki learned to bend or get around the pesky rules that killed her vibe.
💋 While she was a “goody-two-shoes” the majority of her life, Nikki decided that high school was the perfect time to shed her old persona and morph into the party girl she is today: dyeing her hair, putting effort into her makeup, wearing more stylish, provocative clothing, etc.
💋 Her new look, along with making the cheer squad and her sunny personality with anyone she came across, meant that Nikki quickly rose up the ranks and became one of the most beloved members of her class.
💋 Her hopes for this upcoming school year is to enjoy every moment to the fullest and make memories she will cherish for the rest of her life.

💋 Fully bilingual in Spanish and English.
💋 Although she has vast music tastes in both languages she speaks, Nikki has a soft spot for reggaeton. Her favorite artist of all time is Bad Bunny, followed by anything from Karol G, Young Miko and Rauw Alejandro.
💋 Performs nail services out of the spare room of her parents’ house, which they turned into a mini nail salon for her. She does anything from acrylic nails, Gel-X, PolyGel overlay, gel polish, French tips, designs, all the way down to simple manicures.
💋 Is a sucker for rom-coms.
💋 Will be the one dancing on top of a table, chair or countertop at any party.
💋 Has 1.8k followers on her personal TikTok and Instagram, and is working on growing her professional page.
💋 Is always dancing. Like always.

N/A

♡ Facebook: Jolie Elizabeth
♡ Twitter | Snapchat | Instagram | TikTok: très_jolieee

♡ Bookworm ♡ Nerd ♡ Julian's Sister 🙄 ♡

Senior | Grade 12

3.8 | Jolie’s parents are strict about their children keeping up with their education, so her grades fluctuate between A+ and B-.

♡ Creative Writing
♡ Art
♡ World Cultures
♡ Calculus ^{“Thank you for the math brain, Dad!”}

♡ Art Club
♡ Math Olympics

Jolie aspires to be accepted into one of the top 5 universities for art and design: the Royal College of Art in London, the University of the Arts in London, The New School in New York, the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) in Providence, or the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge. She hopes to complete her university studies with high marks, obtain a position in a prestigious museum as an art curator, and hopefully find her soulmate somewhere along the way.

♡ Hair: Dark Brown | Layered | Naturally wavy, but blow-dried and worn down most of the time, with the occasional ponytail.
♡ Eyes: Brown
♡ Height: 5’5”.
♡ ]Body Type: Hourglass Shape | Slim
♡ Clothing Style: Casual & Comfortable || Jeans | Cargo Pants | Shorts | Sneakers | Tank Tops | Crop Tops | Slightly Oversized Jackets
♡ Body Markings: Three lobe piercings on each ear | One helix piercing on her left ear. | Freckles on her cheeks and nose. | Small moles across her body.

♡ Jolie is the youngest of the two Russo children, having been born 23 minutes after her brother Julian.
♡ Born and raised in Long Beach and has only attended schools in the area, while her parents Jace and Ariana are transplants from Palm Beach, Florida.
♡ She had a happy, comfortable, stable childhood in an upper middle class neighborhood, with two parents who loved and spoiled their children as much as they did each other.
♡ Watching her parents’ relationship, petty arguments aside, is where JoJo thinks her Hopeless Romantic origins come from. The way her dad looks at her mom, and the way she smiles brighter than the sun whenever they're together, is the kind of love she aspires to have in her life one day.
♡ Contrary to her brother who loved the spotlight since he was born and made many friends, Jolie always tended to stick to only a handful of close friends, most of which she remains close with to this day.
♡ Although their personalities are night and day, the twins have always been close to one another, and are an integral part of who they are as individuals. Growing up and finding their chosen families means they've drifted apart a little, but their bond remains the same. No matter how much they bicker, argue and get on each other's nerves, Julian and Jolie would die for one another.
♡ Her love for reading presented itself at an early age, as did her affinity for keeping physical records of her innermost thoughts. She's kept journals and diaries for nearly ten years-- since her parents gifted her with her first one on her eight birthday. Having a nosy brother meant that the hiding place of Jolie's writings changed constantly, and she constantly stressed about them being found until she asked her parents for a fireproof safe. She wears the key as a necklace, and has hidden the spare copy somewhere safe and out of Julian's grabby hands.
♡ While it was obvious that Jolie was academically talented and did well in her studies, it was also clear that her future wasn't in Education or STEM, but rather in art and its history. She wasn't much of a painter herself (only did it for fun), but she enjoyed looking at painting exhibitions and knowing the story behind each piece.
♡ Throughout her life and during her high school career, Jolie has walked on that tightrope of not quite being a wallflower, but not quite being popular either. Being Julian's sister, attending various sporting events (don't ask why) and representing her school in the Math Olympics means that people are at least aware of her existence, but not enough to wreak havoc on her life. She's quite content with the position she's in at now, as it doesn't distract her from her goal of college. But life has a funny way of working out, and you never know what can happen next…

♡ Jace Sebastian Russo || 54 || Father || Mathematics Professor at UCLA || FC: Giacomo Gianniotti
♡ Julian Sebastian Russo || 17 || Twin Brother || High School Senior || FC: Christian Daloi

♡ Her name means ‘pretty’ in French.
♡ Speaks fluent English, conversational Italian and can get by in Spanish.
♡ Drives a vintage blue convertible her parents got her for her 16th birthday.
♡ The way to her heart lies in museum dates, international cuisine dining experiences, book shopping, hangouts by the beach and surprise flowers or sweet treats.
♡ Enjoys sweet pastry treats, baked goods and her father’s homemade, authentic Italian food.
♡ Loves to read spicy romance novels, especially those sports romances where the star athlete falls in love with the most unexpected person… _{“Thanks, BookTok.”}
♡ When she doesn’t have her nose stuck in a book, she’s got it in one of her journaling notebooks.
♡ Her favorite way to preserve memories is by scrapbooking.
♡ Loves indie and alternative music, the likes of Tame Impala, Glass Animals, Cage The Elephant, though she indulges in artists from all genres, like Morgan Wallen and some T. Swiftie when she's feeling romantic, though she'd never admit it.
♡ Her favorite movie of all time is 10 Things I Hate About You.
