@sakurasanSoon, hopefully. We're just held up on me, I think, and I"m trying to get my last couple of sheets done once a day. Shouldn't be TOO much longer.

Another character done. If I can bust out my next two in the next couple of days, I'll try to get with @Silent Observer and work out the opening IC post.
Just so everyone knows, the current plan is to have the opener be at a new art gallery/auction at the club. The members of the community will have received hand-stamped letters just that morning. Is this agreeable with everyone?

As it stands, this will be my only PC until I can get around to making the rest of the DiVale clan. Or get inspo for more characters. xD

Adielle has been, and always will be, a woman of great beauty. Even before she was old enough to grow into her own body, Adielle had always been extremely beautiful. From her golden-blonde hair to the fact that she always had the most amazing eyes that had a deep emerald shade to them. Her skin always flawless, and differing eyebrows that would look very thick one moment, and extremely thin the next. It’s true that she has suffered from pale skin most of her life, but she has owned that. Some would even say that it’s something that makes her even more beautiful.
Adielle DiVale, unlike most women, has a towering figure of 5’10. Still, this doesn’t take away with how she presents herself. Her figure is slim and lean. Everything about it fits so well into those dresses she loves to wear so much. These dresses, much like the amount of money in her bank account, is way above what most would expect. They’re elegant and simple. No elaborate designs on them. Nothing that would make her stand out too much. Most of them are single color. If they aren’t, they are divided down the middle either vertically, horizontally, or diagonally. Her accessories, shoes - everything - is always matching with them in some way, shape, or form.

Free-Spirited | Zany | Social Butterfly | Unpredictable
No one -not even her husband - can predict how Adi will act. Sure she’s a lot of fun to be around and she definitely livens up any social event that the DiVale’s would either be attending or hosting, but that doesn’t mean she isn’t without some instability that may or may not make those around her wary of what she might do next. Even her daughter, Vivian, has expressed certain doubts about Adielle’s tendency to go a little wild here and there. To her, even if there isn’t a party, there is always fun to be had.
Now that isn’t to say that Adielle DiVale is without her upsides. All unpredictability aside, Adielle exhibits unwavering devotion and love to her husband, Gabriel, and her daughter, Vivian. They are her world, and no amount of loose screws in her brain will be able to change that. To her, they are her world, even if she does act a little squirrely every other night.
As someone who is very involved in her community, it shouldn’t be completely improbable that Adi is one of the most sociable housewives in Lakewood Summit. Her inviting smile and jovial laugh is trademark when this bubbly, borderline-eccentric blonde wants to get to know someone. Or, on the opposite side of her coin, wants something from someone. Sometimes she might be subtle about it, using some passive-aggressive tactics, or she might jsut flat out say what she wants(whatever that may be). Whichever it is, whomever is on the receiving end of it will know by the end of the conversation what she wants and when she wants it(AKA that very instant).
To those that Adielle doesn’t like - well, let’s just say this blonde milf is someone you don’t want to cross. It isn’t her tactics that will strike the Fear of God into someone, but rather how dangerous she can get. Putting aside the Mafia ties that her husband has, Adielle, when she’s devoting her entire efforts to bring down someone, is vicious. One could say she learned it from her cousin-in-law, Viola Mossos, but then again, she is pretty out there, so maybe it’s the fact that she’s a crazy bitch who does not like being wronged. So, ladies of Lakewood Summit, you might want to be on the lookout for this one. Odds are, if you wronged her, Adielle is coming for you bitches.

The joining of the Hart and DiVale families was definitely something that wasn’t expected especially considering at which age Adielle got pregnant. It happened when she was just sixteen. No one really knows how she and Gabriel met. Elijah definitely didn’t know how they met, but the fact remained that they met, they fucked, and, oh, about a year later, Vivian Annabelle was born. This caused ripples through the Hart family, for sure, specifically Elijah. He pretty much declared Adielle dead to him for the longest time. She was also kicked out when she was eighteen, with a barely-a-year-old Vivian in her arms.
In her years of pretty much raising Vivian on her own, it wasn’t until Vivian was a few years older than when her mother got kicked out that Adielle was contacted by Gabriel. Now only nineteen, she eventually moved in with him. Despite protests from her now renewed relationship with her brother, Eli, Adielle moved in with him. She was still willing to do anything to spite her brother and spite her parents, that she would move in with a guy that she has, on several occasion, heard was a horrible guy. She didn’t care. Adielle was determined to make it work.
And so it did. It didn’t matter to Adielle that he might’ve been a bad guy. He was good to his daughter. He was good for her. Adielle saw a different side of Gabriel. He not only treated Adielle well, but also their daughter. It would soon become evident to Adielle that she made the right choice when she moved in with him because of how the years that would follow played out. They, at some point, moved to Lakewood Summit, bought one of the biggest houses, and started their life as Vivian would grow up as an only child. It was magical and straight out of a fairy tale. Soon, Adielle would know what true happiness was..
Well, until she grew bored, and Gabe was hardly home due to his frequent trips to Italy and Southern Europe. One could say that Adi was growing impatient, often indulging in other men to help pass the time. It became evident that Adielle was a serial cheater, and enjoyed the feeling of being a homewrecker. What a gal, huh?

.:| O C C U P A T I O N |:.
Does being a housewife count? If so, then that’s what Adielle is. Oh and on-and-off homewrecker has also been mentioned on her resume.
But in all seriousness, Adielle had a stint or two in doing porn. Nothing major. She just ran an online website for five or so years. What? She had to pass the time somehow. Besides, it wasn’t like she needed the money - she just enjoyed the attention. Fun fact! She got contacted by a few major studios like Vivid because of her shows. She never took them, of course, but still.
On and off, Adielle has been known to run her own freelancing photography website, which she has been commissioned a time or two by major clients with a lot of money in their bank accounts. Some of her work has even been featured in Lakewood Summit’s numerous galleries.

.:| H O B B I E S |:.
{{ Socializing/Partying/Gossiping}} — Adielle has always been one for the gossip and the party scene. Ever since her teenaged years, she was always a bit of a wild thing and free spirit. Whether it came to talking with her friends or making new ones, Adielle always enjoyed socializing with anyone. She has an undoubtable aura about her that just draws people in. On the flipside of the same coin, she also enjoys gossiping about others. Some would wager that gossiping and talking about someone’s struggles is what Adielle lives for at any social event. Of course, this has never been proven.
{{Drinking Wine(and lots of it)}} — One could say that Adielle has a drinking problem. If she isn’t gossiping about the old man that lives on Willow Lane or how the book club is just another reason for more gossip, then Adielle has a drink in her hands. Usually it’s wine, but she’s not picky. Granted, she loves white wine. But again, she won’t be picky on what kind of wine it is. REd is fine, too.
{{Photography}} — Adielle has always had a passion for photography. It was a passion for her when she was in high school and she kept at it as the years passed. Though she has been married and with child, she has always felt some kind of close connection with whatever she was capturing in her camera. It was like her escape. Whenever things got rough for her, Adielle always was able to find an escape from reality in the form of her photography. There's just something about it that made sense to her. No, something about her that MAKES sense to her.
{{Hot men and women}} — This is easy here. Adielle loves men and women. She loves flirting with them. She loves fucking them. She loves looking at them. She loves the way they feel on her skin. She loves the way that they make her feel. Everything about the male and female anatomy is everything she desires for. Though she has a husband, he’s gone a lot, and she needs to feel like she’s wanted. Sometimes, she’ll seduce someone else’s husband -or wife. Hell, she isn’t above seducing someone’s son or daughter. She has no limits. Well, if they are ugly, then she might not go for them, but still..
{{Romantic television shows}} — As if she doesn’t get enough romance in her life from the men and women, Adielle is a sucker for watching her soaps. Sometimes it’s the ones that are on daytime or even primetime. She doesn’t care. She watches a lot of them. Some are better than others, but that doesn’t mean that they hold any higher position than the others. She’ll always love them and that’s all there is to it.
{{Comic Book-related things}} — Adielle admits that she has a guilty pleasure when it comes to comic books. She blames her brother for getting her into them. There’s always been something about them that she found interesting. She’s a big fan of the movies, the television shows, and even the books themselves. She definitely prefers the single universe stuff as compared to the multiverses that Marvel and DC have made over the years.
{{Exercising}} — For Adielle to keep her body in prime condition, she must do all that she can to make sure she doesn’t get fat. This includes an intense exercise and diet regime put together by Lakewood Summit’s top personal trainer, Clayton Bennett. She personally asked for this regime, and he defintiely delivered. He gave her a strict guideline to adhere to. She did so, but boy was it hard. She had to go on daily runs, do yoga every other day, no red meat or fattening foods. No artificial sweeteners. Nothing that would prove otherwise harmful to her body. Not only that, but her diet was severely limited. Most of her favorite foods have been banned until she got the results she wanted. It’s hard, but Adielle wants the best body she can get, and the advice from Clayton is the best that money can buy.

DiVale Manor | Gabriel’s Aston Martin V12 Vantage Convertible | Adielle’s Ferrari 488 GTB
Gabriel Adriano DiVale – Husband – 52 —Gabriel is Adielle’s husband and her daughter’s father. They have been living in Lakewood Summit for at least ten years now. They have been married for about ten years now. Though it started out as being madly in-love with each other, it’s been suffering due to Gabe’s traveling. His work has him away for most of the year, and Adi - well, she’s a woman of needs. Can’t blame her if she decides to branch for companionship outside her marriage.
Vivian Annabelle DiVale – Daughter/Best Friend – 17 — Adielle’s daughter is the one thing she has done right. Everyone knows this, and because of that, she has grown very protective over her ray of sunshine. Sometimes it might seem that she’s just a bit over-protective over Vivian, but she means well. Viv knows this, too, which is way she doesn’t complain too much about her mother’s ways. At teh end of the day, she knows her mother means well. She knows that not everyone is perfect.
Elijah Damian Nelson – Step-Brother/Step-Son(what is this? Game of Thrones?) – 30 — Elijah is Adielle’s younger brother by marriage. His mother is married to her father, and she is married to his father. It’s a strange relationship that they have when you count in that they used to be more than friendly with each other that step-siblings should have been. It also doesn’t help that their relationship has been strained due to the fact that Adi married his father. That would make her his step-mother, also. It’s very twisted and very Game of Thrones-ish. Elijah likes to not think of it like that. She’s his sister. Despite the obvious strains, he loves her.

.:| Coach | 31 | Single | Heterosexual | Female |:.
.:| A P P E A R A N C E |:.
- 6'0"

- Generally likes to dress professionally during the day time, comfortably while coaching (except on game days.)
.:| P E R S O N A L I T Y |:.
Andrea is a rather intimidating person to look at. Most know her as the scary girls' basketball coach of Lakewood Academy, and she is commonly referred to as "Coach Thompson". She is passionate and very into her job, even though most don't take her seriously since she's only the girls' basketball coach, often overshadowed by the boys' basketball team. Most pictures of her around the school is of her pacing up and down the basketball court as she watches her girls play their hearts out. She demands 110% out of all of her players, and any less isn't acceptable. Overall, as a coach, she is very dynamic and skilled, but knows how to take care of her girls and make sure they don't get burnt out.
Outside of basketball though, she is very light-hearted and easy going. It's very hard to make her mad while she's not in basketball mode, since she just takes that energy she gets from being mad and uses it for her coaching. In the freshman English class that she teaches at Lakewood Academy, a majority of her students consider her as a very sweet, caring, and definitely nurturing person. A definitely big change in dynamic between her two roles at Lakewood Academy.
.:| H I S T O R Y |:.
Sarah was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan on March 19th, 1985. She was born to a nurse and a sergeant in the US Army. She spent the majority of her time in Ann Arbor, since her father worked closely with the University of Michigan. Growing up, she and her baby sister were raised free-range style, meaning that they were free to do what they wanted to do, and learned via making mistakes. It worked quite effectively with Sarah, allowing her to develop as a person at a very young age. The one thing her parents did control was having her play basketball, since they wanted to instill some discipline into her as well.
Sarah likes to refer to her childhood basketball coach as an absolute asshole. But at the same time, it helped her big time when it came to life. She was able to stand up to even the worst of adversity. Her discipline had pulled her all the way through high school, where she tore it up as a power forward on her basketball team. It earned her a scholarship to practically any school she wanted, including her father's school, University of Michigan. But she did not choose to follow in her father's footsteps. She instead went to University of Florida, where she played all four years through - for the most part.
She was expected to go pro, and play in the WNBA, but then... she tore her Achilles tendon. It was severe enough to end her career, but not severe enough to permanently hinder her ability to walk. It was disappointing to hear. Knowing that she wouldn't have a future in basketball, she capitalized on her education major and got herself an English teaching credential and coaching lessons, and before long she was offered a job at Lakewood Academy as an English teacher AND the girls' basketball coach.

Hey, newbie here! This RP really caught my attention. I hope you don't mind my butting in. If nothing else my character served as good practice for my character sheets. (Good lord I hope I did this right...)
.:| A P P E A R A N C E |:.
Ginny dresses in expensively simple suits and dresses. They are usually subdued in tone, with a few pops of color when the mood suits her. Her jewelry is modest and simple: sterling silver, platinum, diamonds and the occasional opal. For formal occasions, Ginny opts for simple dresses. They are either ballgowns for galas or cocktail dresses for everything else. She prefers to wear chunky jewelry to pop off her subdued attire on these occasions. Her makeup is simple and her hair is always cropped short.
.:| P E R S O N A L I T Y |:.
Virginia is not a showy woman. She dislikes public exposure and prefers to observe from the sidelines. She is (in)famous for her rapier wit and does not gladly suffer the company of fools. She has a few close friends but mostly spends her time alone with her three German shepherds. When she speaks, she is direct and to the point. To her, time is a commodity and does not wish to spend it on pleasantries. She is extremely intelligent, testing at genius levels as early as 9th grade. Life has made her bitter, a bitterness she suppresses deep within her. In her weakest moments, she finds more strength to suppress in a glass of sherry. Her piercing gaze passes instantaneous judgment and gives an accurate estimate of your worth. She is not easy to fool, those that have tried have always failed.
.:| H I S T O R Y |:.
Virginia Dredd was born to a defense attorney and his homemaker wife in 1959 in Martha's Vineyard. She had a younger sister named Mabel who was her constant companion. Home life was very unhappy. Their mother was emotionally abusive to every family member and was prone to fits of histrionics and constantly threatened suicide. In 1966, Mr. Dredd filed for divorce after his wife gave Mabel a concussion when she slapped her, causing her to fall down a flight of stairs. Mrs. Dredd was awarded custody of the girls, however, when she convinced the judge that Mr. Dredd was the abuser. He was arrested, and Mrs. Dredd fled with her two daughters to Boston, where her abusive tendencies worsened. At that point, Virginia dedicated every ounce of her being to succeed. To her success was the key to escaping her mother. The day she was offered a full ride to Harvard Law School in 1976 was one of the happiest days of her life. In her jubilation she had forgotten all about her sister, who she would be leaving alone with their mother. The day she left, Ginny urged her sister to do the same as her. That was not to be. When Mabel graduated two years later, she could only afford to attend nursing school. She was still trapped with her mother, who now focused all her vitriol on her remaining daughter. Mabel grew to resent her sister for escaping. A resentment that grew more intense as the years went by. Virginia worked her way through school, graduating with a doctorate in law, a masters in political science and an associates in psychology. Back at home, Mabel was finally free of her mother, who died in a suspicious fall, nut no further inquiry was made. Mabel still resented her sister, and thus cut all ties with her. Virginia, now effectively without family, focused all her energy on her work. She became a DA in 1987 and eventually set up a private firm in 1990. over 20 years she built it up to a wildly successful firm with some of the greatest and brightest attorneys from all over the world. In 2010, she sold the firm and retired to Lakewood Summit as one of the wealthiest women to ever grace its grounds

Virginia Dredd was born to a defense attorney and his homemaker wife in 1959 in Martha's Vineyard. She had a younger sister named Mabel who was her constant companion. Home life was very unhappy. Their mother was emotionally abusive to every family member and was prone to fits of histrionics and constantly threatened suicide. In 1966, Mr. Dredd filed for divorce after his wife gave Mabel a concussion when she slapped her, causing her to fall down a flight of stairs. Mrs. Dredd was awarded custody of the girls, however, when she convinced the judge that Mr. Dredd was the abuser. He was arrested, and Mrs. Dredd fled with her two daughters to Boston, where her abusive tendencies worsened. At that point, Virginia dedicated every ounce of her being to succeed. To her success was the key to escaping her mother. The day she was offered a full ride to Harvard Law School in 1976 was one of the happiest days of her life. In her jubilation she had forgotten all about her sister, who she would be leaving alone with their mother. The day she left, Ginny urged her sister to do the same as her. That was not to be. When Mabel graduated two years later, she could only afford to attend nursing school. She was still trapped with her mother, who now focused all her vitriol on her remaining daughter. Mabel grew to resent her sister for escaping. A resentment that grew more intense as the years went by. Virginia worked her way through school, graduating with a doctorate in law, a masters in political science and an associates in psychology. Back at home, Mabel was finally free of her mother, who died in a suspicious fall, nut no further inquiry was made. Mabel still resented her sister, and thus cut all ties with her. Virginia, now effectively without family, focused all her energy on her work. She became a DA in 1987 and eventually set up a private firm in 1990. over 20 years she built it up to a wildly successful firm with some of the greatest and brightest attorneys from all over the world. In 2010, she sold the firm and retired to Lakewood Summit as one of the wealthiest women to ever grace its grounds

The first thing you notice about Fiorella Aguilar is that she is always, always looking as if she's just stepped out of a fashion magazine, as she is always dressed with brand and expensive clothing. She loves to wear attention-grabbing jewelry and carries her stuff around in brand and expensive handbags of all shapes and sizes. Fiorella is a short woman (5'3", to be exact), but she looks taller because of her tendency to always wear brand heels that are no shorter than 3". She carries herself with an air of confidence and superiority, always with a confident smirk and seductively swinging her hips from side to side.
Fiorella's Puerto Rican roots are evident: from the long, light-brown hair with a light blonde ombre effect, the intense brown eyes that gaze so deeply into your soul, and the ever-tanned curvy body that has been the downfall of many men in the entertainment industry. Her curves consist of wide hips, thick thighs, big breasts and a perky, round ass.
Fun fact about Fiorella: she uses her hands a lot to gesticulate when she talks, and her face always shows whatever thoughts or emotions she's having.
.:| P E R S O N A L I T Y |:.
Extroverted, loud, proud and confident are the perfect words to describe Fiorella Aguilar. Strongly judgemental and opinionated, Fiorella isn't a woman to hold back on anything she thinks or believes in. Though others might see her as an airhead due to her materialistic nature, Fiorella is anything but. She is a quick-witted, intelligent, cunning woman, willing to go to great lengths to get her heart's desire. Fiorella is strong-willed and stubborn, which comes from her Hispanic roots. When it comes to men, she's nothing but a bombshell that attracts all eyes in a room with incredible magnetism, very sexually charming, passionate, intense and gives no damns about boundaries: if she wants a man, she'll get him without caring the slightest if he's taken, married or anything of the sort.

Giovanni Aguilar (child of a Puerto Rican father and an Italian mother) and Marina Rodríguez (100% Puerto Rican) had met through mutual friends at college and eventually fell in love during a study trip around Europe. The couple dated for a year after and married after a year-long engagement in which they had finished their bachelors' degrees. They decided to pursue graduate studies, which they did and achieved with honors while their first daughter was on the way. On November 7 of 1998, Fiorella Marina Aguilar Rodríguez was welcomed into the world with open arms. She would be the only daughter of the CEO of the Puerto Rico Merck Pharmaceutical plant and the head of the Pharmacy department of said place.
Due to the nature of their demanding work positions, Fiorella was raised in the upscale part of Guaynabo (a town in Puerto Rico) by her maternal grandmother until she was old enough to attend school. The mature woman provided Fiorella with the love and attention only a grandmother is capable of giving, but was slightly blinded to her granddaughter's misbehavior. This fact would be especially important in Fiorella's life for various reasons: the first one being that it was her grandmother who gave her the 'Lela' nickname, the second being that Lela grew up thinking she could get away from everything, the third being she learned to respect elders, and the fourth being that she didn't have a strong authority figure at home.
From the moment she was enrolled at Puerto Rico's most expensive private school at pre-K (4 years old), Fiorella had been one of the most popular girls at school. After a rocky start because of the sudden change of being away from her grandmother, Lela made friends easily. Apart from being a social butterfly, Lela excelled in her studies (even when her school had an advanced bilingual curriculum) and even in sports. As she grew up, Lela became involved in whichever extracurricular activities she could handle, which gave her experience in pretty much every field. She performed in various school plays, participated in sporting and academic competitions, was a cheerleader, dancer, team player... All the while keeping top grades in her classes. To nobody's surprise, Lela was voted Senior class president, and worked her hardest to make sure her and her classmates got the graduation, prom and Senior Trip to the Bahamas they deserved.
Fiorella had discovered her love for the communications and media field back in her teen years, so she applied and was accepted to the best US college for said field: the University of Southern California. During her college years, she made sure to take any and every opportunity that presented itself to enhance her C.V.: joining a sorority, getting involved in clubs regarding her, and ultimately interning every summer at the KTLA television station thanks to a sorority connection. The internship proved to be the most important thing she ever did, because by the time Fiorella graduated with top grades she had secured a job as the assistant of Millie Jane Rowland, the host of the talk show "The Scoop".
When the station announced Millie was bowing out so she could dedicate herself to raising her family, Fiorella took it upon herself to do anything in her power to score the spot. This 'anything' proved to be something that was quite easy for her: seduce the senior producer of the show. She did so without any hesitations or regrets (yes, even if he had been married to his wife for 20 years), and at just 26 years old became the host of the talk show "The Scoop". Rumors of how she'd obtained the job had floated around the channel for some time, but Fiorella didn't care. She had gotten what she'd always wanted, and that was all she cared about.
With the job came the popularity, and soon Fiorella was nothing short of a celebrity. Now rolling in the millions, Fiorella spent her free time traveling, rubbing shoulders with Hollywood's most popular celebrities, dining with important figures of the media industry and having her notorious escapades documented by the tabloids. She had built a reputation of being a very active player on the Hollywood party scene, one that she lived up to proudly. At 29, this would change. The morning after a particularly long night out, Fiorella woke up in bed with a stranger and a pounding headache that brought along an epiphany: her 30th birthday was drawing closer every day, and did she really want to spend the rest of her life doing this? The answer? Absolutely not. And so, with the thought of wanting to settle down soon, Fiorella decided to buy a $5 million dollar property in the suburbs, in the Cherry Blossom Boulevard of Lakewood Summit. She has lived there for a short six months now.
