appearance

Adriana considers herself to be rather aesthetically pleasing and unless you happen to be a man with awesome abs, she doesn't give half a damn if you agree with her or not. She has high cheekbones, a straight nose, and thanks to her heritage, she has wide brown eyes and naturally tan skin. She has thick black hair that just reaches the middle of her back when it's straightened; when it's left in its natural wave, which is less common, it just barely reaches her chest. Ana is very proud of her D cups. Being proud of her breasts is a tad ridiculous seeing as she did nothing to earn them other than eat, but there you have it. She's heard some women have problems with back pain which doesn't sound like much fun to her, but she hasn't had any problems with it - not yet, anyway. She was an athletic child, involved in all manner of sports and games anyone could think of, but that all stopped when she switched schools; when she entered best school in the district, she became focused on academics and her athletics sort of fell by the wayside.

She lost muscle and gained weight, which gave way to her aforementioned boobs and some lovely curves. When she sees someone with legs more toned than hers, she looks over at their boobs, then down at her own chest, and all is right in the world. She's rarely insecure about her weight, but she is insecure about her height. Ana was a premature baby so she's on the short side, reaching about five feet, four inches, even though both of her parents tower over her. She learned composure from her mother, though, and is very good at the "fake it til you make it" concept, and when she entered puberty, she discovered the magic of make up. The stuff was extremely hard to get in their district, but she somehow found it. And when she couldn't find it on the dinky store shelves, she made it herself (which turned out badly more times than not). A bit of concealer here for the acne, some eyeliner there to make her sort of oblong eyes look larger... And thanks to hydrogen peroxide, she has an ever present, pearly white smile that doesn't quite reach her eyes. Otherwise, those yellow teeth really aren't attractive. At all.

personality

Adriana grew up in a wealthy family but it was not a particularly loving home. She's a very ambitious person and her parents fostered that attitude in her by footing the bill for anything she wanted to try. Despite her enthusiasm, she mostly succeeded because of her work ethic; though she likes to believe otherwise, she's really not that intelligent. She excelled academically because she saw it as a competition she wanted to win. She gave up on petty things like a social life and sports; even then, she wasn't quite at the top of her class, but she was #3 in a fairly large class.

Ana is not a bubbly person by nature but she can pretend to be when it suits her, and she can generally give good first impressions. Between that and her appearance, people seem to think befriending her will be easy. They're wrong, and for their sake, it's a good thing. Ana is not very good "friend material." Outgoing people are sometimes nice, too, but being outgoing and being nice are two very different things. Outgoing people are generally energetic and like being around people and smile a lot. Nice people see the best in others and are pleasant to be around for long stretches of time. Ana is not a nice person. Ana has a bad habit of only seeing the bad in people. If someone is genuinely nice, she'll think they're fake; if someone is smart, they're egotistical, and so on. Once she picks a negative adjective for someone, she is not open to changing her mind. She's pretty set in her ways and is generally convinced that her way is the best. Telling herself that other people are idiots is easier than admitting she was wrong.

She's not a particularly lenient or forgiving person and if you get on her bad side, you're likely to be there until the day she dies. She used to have a very quick temper but she more or less learned how to control it. Because of it, Ana's not one to fly off the rails and yell at someone; she's more likely to make some sarcastic remark, give a smile to reassure you that she didn't mean it, then plot revenge. She found out this method was much more efficient because, one, it's easier to think logically when you aren't staring down some piece of shit who tried to screw you over, and two, it's easier to pretend you're innocent around other people when they don't hear about you screaming your ass off at someone in the hallway. She adopted this attitude to adjust to high school life; once she's traveling an entire region, where you're (hypothetically) less likely to run into people you've met before, she might just go back to telling people what she thinks. Loudly.

For most of her life, if there was something material she wanted, her parents paid the bill and she made it happen. If there was something she wanted that her parent's money couldn't buy (usually a boy), she used her body to make it happen. To put it politely, she has a laissez-faire attitude towards sex. She's not a slut, exactly, she just enjoys the ego boost of winning someone over and the physical pleasures of sex more than the emotional connection of a steady relationship with one person. At least, she's fairly sure she wouldn't enjoy the emotional connection more; she's not entirely sure as she's never bothered to try having one. When she wants someone, she's pretty good at acting sweet or sexy or whatever it is she thinks that particular guy would like. She doesn't have much of an interest in long term relationships, though, so she lets the facade fall pretty quickly and moves on.

history

To put it simply, Adriana was born out of a misunderstanding of sexual education. Her mother and her father were quite successful at their goal of not having children for most of their fertile years. They lived on fairly large property in District Ten, where the mom was a doctor and the dad was a . They were, shall we say, a passionate couple. Both were entering their forties on the fateful day when they realized they were out of condoms. They (wrongly) assumed that because they were getting older, such precautions were no longer necessary. Surely old age meant her father’s man-juices wouldn't have the mobility to fertilize an egg? Right? Wrong. In fact, he managed to fertilize two eggs. What a badass. And eight months later, the aging couple who had been happily avoiding the hassle of parenthood, ended up with twins.

Despite being a bit premature, Adriana was a healthy child. Her brother, Alex, was not so lucky. He weighed just over four and a half pounds at birth, which is a big deal, as the ideal weight is closer to seven pounds. He spent the first two months of his life in the NICU, and the doctors were able to take care of most of his problems – except for one thing. He developed ROP (retinopathy of prematurity), and this isn’t a pathophysiology lesson, so let’s skip ahead here: by the time he was eight months old, Alex was blind. Growing up with a blind brother was not easy for Adriana. Suffice it to say, she was not a particularly understanding toddler, and she resented all the attention her brother received. However, there were bigger problems with her parents. Some people grow up knowing they want to have a big family; her parents had chosen the opposite path wisely, because they just weren't cut out for it. Her mother in particular barely had the patience to deal with one child, much less a pair of children with one being blind. As soon as her doctor said it was okay, she started working at a hospital further away because it had 'higher pay', but her real motivation (even though she vehemently denied it) was to get away from the infants.

Her mother wasn't good at being a mother and she didn't enjoy it, but she didn't want to intentionally deprive them of anything. Her father was more willing to learn the ropes of fatherhood and even if he couldn't quite muster affection, he was able to provide food, shelter, safety, and the other basic necessities. He rearranged the house to make it easier on Alex, made sure all of them learned Braille, and so on. He struggled to find a good school for his children to attend, as the school closest to them really wasn't famed for its academics. He eventually found a school with a school that included blind integration, although it was quite a walking distance away. That could paint an unfairly negative picture of their parents, though. One of the perks of being successful and not having kids for so long was the absurd amount of money they saved up, and her parents were more apathetic than negligent. Alex and Ana never wanted for anything. Whether it was clothes or cars or drum sets or anything money could buy, they had it. One of the richest families in District Ten, they never had to worry about food (or the lack of it).
