[OOC] Growing Up | It's Anything But Simple

[lopsided]

@Universorum weeeell i was discussing with @Raxacoricofallapatorius about our character's potential relationship, nothing serious i think. She never is serious about these things.

[Hey Im Jordan]

@lopsidedI meant more like a friendship or something ;p

[lopsided]

@UniversorumOh, LOL sure of course. She needs every friend she can get. XD

[Xtreme]

OK so got most of Dom's relationships sorted now.

Really looking forward to this, already I can see from the relationship sheets we've got lots of interesting things to jump off of storywise.

[Silent Whispers]

Loving the fact that everyone is so psyched for this and love all of the relations.

I've discussed relations with two people so far. Anyone is free to PM me with their thoughts or ideas regarding relations!

Also, let's not forget that the first thing is first that it will be Natalya's birthday so might want to center your opening posts around that aspect first. :/ But anything goes, of course.

Possibly starting this today since I have to be at work much later.

With odd old ends stolen out of holy writ,
And seem a saint, when most I play the devil."
-Richard III, Shakespeare

In Depth Appearance:

Standing at 5’4” and weighing around 120 pounds, Echo could be described as the Canadian version of a California girl. Her body borders the line between slender and muscular, perhaps a bit stocky, though still retaining the expected curves. Her soft face and gentle brown eyes are bordered by locks of long brown hair, normally curled and draped down her shoulders. Her attire usually consists of a comfortable pair of faded jeans and a white tank top, covered by a loose plaid shirt whose sleeves have been rolled up and generally left unbuttoned. Around the apartment she is usually found wearing plaid pyjama bottoms and whatever top she feels like wearing, along with her favourite slippers. For outdoor footwear, a pair of riding boots or comfy pair of flats adorn her feet. Her work uniform doesn't stray from her daily clothes, however she wears an apron over top if working at the coffee shop.

- Being interrupted

Fears:

- Large crowds
- Being the centre of attention
- Mice in her apartment
- Snakes (why does it always have to be snakes…)
- Clowns

Personality:

♦ Focused ♦ Shy ♦ Kind ♦ Stubborn ♦

Echo is generally a quiet person, often preferring time to herself rather than going to a big party. She is extremely focused and therefore can be rather jumpy when working on a project, however because of this she often misses things outside her skill set and doesn't see the bigger picture. She is quite stubborn once she's made up her mind, but this also translates into extreme determination and she will often go many hours without sleep if it means finishing the task at hand.

Echo is extremely nervous when put on the spot or when meeting new people, mainly because most of her childhood was spent working on computers or learning to code. As well, she's pretty much the definition of an introvert and nervous breakdowns over small things are not uncommon, one can only imagine what would happen to the poor girl if something big happened.

History:

Born in the bustling city of Toronto, Echo was an odd child to say the least. Her real parents couldn’t afford to keep her, so they had put her in an orphanage shortly after she was born. At around three years old, she was adopted by her father, Michael White, a well off businessman who developed software for large corporate companies. The two lived in a beautiful high rise in the downtown core, where he home schooled her for the first few years of her life. He taught her all the basics, including learning to speak both english and french fluently. However, her education in math and computers was the high point during this time.

She learned basic coding in a good three to four languages by the time she was finishing the public school curriculum and had also learned how to assemble a computer and how to troubleshoot it when something went wrong. Of course, like any child, she was always more interested in the games one could run on a computer and frequently got distracted from her homework by them.

After finishing public school, her father got a job offer in California and after getting all of the paperwork in order, the two of them moved there so he could pursue his career further. Echo started high school, her first year at school with other people. It was rough for the first little while. No one was really interested in computer programming and she’d never felt more lonely in her life. At home, she often kept to herself and her computer, either writing increasingly advanced code or playing games.

High school graduation day was probably the happiest she had been in a long time. Being the youngest one there was interesting, yet satisfying at the same time; Echo had skipped grade ten because of her excellent previous education. She was quick to move out despite her father’s protests and finished her college education in computer sciences four years later. She moved out to San Francisco into a small apartment with another girl, hoping to make a few friends and enjoy herself for a while.

Extra:

Echo's favourite activity after a long day standing at the coffee shop is probably playing a few rounds of Battlefield 4 on her computer. Fun fact, I enjoy doing the same thing....only I don't work at a coffee shop. :P

Anything Else:

Nope

Didi Sabello

“Stop seeking out the storms and enjoy more fully the sunlight.”
-Gordon Hickney

---

Name:

Dolores Sabello

Nickname:

Didi, Dottie by her grandfather

Birth Date:

January, 3 1995

Age:

20

Gender:

Female.

Sexuality:

Closeted Bisexual

Relationship Status:

Single

Occupation:

Part time tutor/sitter/whatever she can get

Apartment Number:

?

Major:

Computer Science

In Depth Appearance:

On lazy days Didi doesnt care much for fashion, as long as it covers what needs covering it was good enough for her. Most of the time she steals her brothers wardrobe and would style it to her liking , but on the regular, she wears faded jeans, a pair of chucks or combats and a shirt or a crop top over a hoodie. She wears a dark buddah bracelet on her left wrist, and a bunch of other bracelets to go with it. Make up is totally out of the question.
Her height is average, standing 5 foot 5, with a slender build, her skin is of rosy complexion, with just the right amount of tan on her arms and above the neck. Her freckles are lightly clustered at the mid portion of her face, most visibly on the nose and cheeks.
Didi usually just hand brushes her short dark hair, she would tie it into a pony at times or brush it back when theres no scrunchie in sight. She has emerald colored eyes, or hazel when the sun casts over them.

M Y Q U I R K S

Habits | Quirks | Oddities

- Frequently chews gum (and sticks it under something even if the bin is just a few inches away.)
-Absentmindedly wrinkles her nose when concentrating.
-Blows her fringe away from her face whenever it gets in the way of her eyes.
-Has a habit of writing or drawing stuffs on her forearm when bored.
-90's cartoon junkie but she wont just admit that to anyone.

Hobbies:

-Doing homework.
-Doodling on anything, even on other people's bare skins.
-Going to places with her bike at 5 in the morning.
-Experimenting with codes.
-Picking on people she feels like it.

Likes:

-Seaside strolling
-Singing even if she's bad at it.
-Dancing even if it's just as worst as her singing.
-Cool morning breeze.
-The feeling of coffee buzz.
-Reading Palanuk on a rainy day.
-Rootbeer pong.
-Feeding the pigeons by her bedroom window.
-

Dislikes:

-Super crowded areas
-Small spaces
-Annoying children
-Politics
-Midnight fridge raiders who steal her Fanta.

Fears:

-Being judged
-Cats
-Being alone for the rest of her life.

Personality:

♦ Intelligent ♦ Imprudent ♦ Easygoing ♦ Fragile ♦

One thing that best describes Didi, is that she's a smartass. A smart ass to those who deserve it, or to those who may not but needs to pull out a pole off their ass every once in a while. Most of the time she's composed, and is actually a nice person once you get to know her. She has a knack for computers, but despite being smart she never aimed higher. Being simple, and learning to live with what she have is a lesson she learned from her grandfather. Dreaming big tends to stale the appreciation of the little things, and when you have little, you learn to love more.
If not spending her days and nights in front of a computer, she would go out and have fun, even by herself. She is never a fan of clubs, but would rather dance under the rain. A horrible singer she may be, she'll kick your ass in a kareoke showdown.
But even with her though, wild child demeanor, inside she's a fragile girl who easily breaks down when things fall out, even if she hides herself in tough facade. Times like these she yearns to depend on someone, and that person may yet come.

D E F I N I N G M Y P A S T

History:

Didi grew up in East Oakland, with her three older brothers and a younger sister, all of whom she doesn't share the same father with. A bit of a tomboy, she frequently hangs out with some of her brothers friends, but they would sometimes make a habit of bullying her , which forces her to hang out with her much younger sister. She was especially close to Toby, her eldest brother's best friend, and at one point developed a crush on him. When she acted out on these feelings, Toby rejected him and it broke her heart. Her mother took odd jobs to put some food on the table, and providing them proper education. Didi never had problems with school, however. Despite being a trouble maker which sometimes earned her a visit, or two, to the principal, she greatly excels academically, and soon applied a scholarship for college.

Unlike her siblings, Didi knew her father. Rich fancy business guy, who owns one too many fashion outlets scattered all across San Fran. And unlike the other sperm bags her mother used to date, he does his responsibilities as a father, although not legally bound to his child, he would provide everything for her. When Didi was 12, his father visited their home but her mother wouldnt let her see his daughter. The whole exchange were angry screams, mostly evident to her mom, while her father stood there quietly, a middle aged man of high standard, looking at her for the first time. Didi never saw him again until years later. Even though she never kept in touch with him, her dad still payed for her school and everything she needed or wanted, but Didi never took advantage of her father's wealth. He would contact her, without her mother's knowing and with regular chats and catching up, they developed a good friendship.

Eventually she went to collage, and took a Computer Science major because she secretly dreams of becoming a real life Lisbeth Salander. Even with her abundant allowance thanks to her dad, she kept it aside for her other siblings. Rather, she applies at random jobs for her own necessities, never really having a anything permanent. Right now she focuses more on enjoying what she does, the very last wish her grandfather wanted for her.
