I was raised in a Christian household, though I consider myself to be more spiritual than religious. I've never really been one to pay much attention to politics, but my family members are of the Democratic party, so I guess that makes me a Democrat as well. You could guess what people probably label me as, especially after seeing all my tats and who I hang out with or whatever. People see me and automatically think that I'm 'trashy' or 'ghetto.' I just like to express myself, ya know?"[/color] [/indent] [color=maroon]║ Occupation ║[/color] [indent]Valentina works part time at the bowling alley.[/indent] [color=maroon]║ Appearance ║[/color] [indent]When someone sees Tina for the first time, their eyes will immediately look at the four tattoos that cover her arms, and the small tattoos on her hand, some in admiration and others in disapproval. Each tattoo was designed by Tina herself, and she is very proud of them. She also has a few visible piercings including helix, conch, tragus, and lobe piercings in her ears, and two nose piercings. Tina is a light-skinned girl of average height, standing at five feet and six inches tall. Her naturally black hair, when straightened, falls just below her waist. Her eyes are dark brown, and are without doubt the most captivating aspect of her appearance, reflecting a look of wisdom far beyond her age that cannot help but draw people in. She has a curvy figure and weighs about 150 lbs. Tina's style of dress can be summarized as "Urban Fashion." Urban Fashion is edgy and reflects lifestyle, attitude, and individuality. Because she's never had much money, a lot of her clothes were her brother's hand-me-downs. She also loves to go to thrift shops and find clothes that she can make her own; you'd never be able to tell that they were "old." She has a few things in her wardrobe that cost a bit of money from when her or her brother had some extra money. Her wardrobe mainly consists of jeans, graphic T's, bomber jackets, Jordan's, and Vans. She always accessorizes with rings, chokers, and extra large hoop earrings. She's never been one to wear much makeup, but occasionally wears lipstick and eyeliner.[/indent] [hr][hr] [center][img]http://67.media.tumblr.com/85807da27454563360506194688af008/tumblr_ng1504V6m91qa1bxgo4_250.gif[/img][img]http://67.media.tumblr.com/7178a33dc467706367eb6f6f0188f092/tumblr_ng1504V6m91qa1bxgo5_250.gif[/img] [url=https://youtu.be/AT6iUz0rCuE]"One day...

She loves to make people laugh, and often gets in trouble for it. She acts as if she doesn't have a care in the world, and seems to be as tough and hard as a rock. Everyone who knows her, however, knows that she loves to create things, whether it be art, music, etc. One would usually see her working on a drawing or song while in class instead of doing her work or paying attention. Though very laid-back, Tina does not take shit from anyone. She always has a witty comeback, and has gotten into (and won) a couple of fights. She also has a distinct New York accent, and uses a lot of slang and curse words when speaking. [/indent] [indent][color=maroon]What I Know:[/color] Everyone who knows her knows that she loves to create art and music, but not many people know how serious she takes her work, assuming that she only "doodles" to pass the time in class. She has [i]never[/i] let anyone hear a song that she has written. Her friends also do not know about her love for Basketball, and how her career came to an abrupt end just a few years back. Though she may be "silly" and charismatic at school, Tina actually prefers to be alone. While she has many friends she doesn't let anyone get too close. Though she'll make an appearance at a party or gathering, she'd much rather spend her time locked in her room, vibing to some R&B music, writing songs, and/or painting. Despite not paying attention in class, she somehow manages to maintain a B average.[/indent] [hr][hr] [center][img]http://66.media.tumblr.com/4b89387e5290ef0c9827477cb651c165/tumblr_inline_o0enblR2C41qf0bzr_500.gif[/img][img]http://67.media.tumblr.com/cec8fee01cdaca29bba310e47a56fb6f/tumblr_inline_o0enbv1UwR1qf0bzr_500.gif[/img][/center] [center]"[color=maroon]To find yourself, think for yourself.[/color]" - [color=lightgray]Socrates[/color][/center] [hr][hr] [center][img]http://fontmeme.com/permalink/161127/89264c756967e0300fab265e98324bb8.png[/img][/center] [color=maroon]║ My Dreams ║[/color] [indent]Valentina would love to make it big as a Reggae/R&B singer.

Although her family was poor, her single mother tried her hardest to give Tina and her older brother a normal life. Their father had left the family before Tina was born, when her brother was five years old. She'd receive letters and postcards from him every year for her birthday, but left them in a box under her bed, unopened. Although never having the "pleasure" of meeting her father, Tina knew how much of a deadbeat he was based on everything she'd learned from her mother and brother, Terrance. Ever since she was a little girl, Tina has been an avid basketball fan. Every chance she got, she would play and attend basketball games with her friends, slowly but surely starting to fall in love with the game. At the age of eight, she'd finally convinced her mother to let her play on a team, and the rest was history. Tina grew up to be the star player on her middle school and AAU teams, playing the position of point guard. Everyone, including her coach, expected great things of her; they all just knew that one day she'd make it to the WNBA. Her mother, however, was pushing her to focus more on her academics. She didn't see any future for Tina as a ball player, instead wishing for her to get a practical job. She constantly pushed her to do her best in school, and forced her to join many clubs and school organizations. She'd even signed her up for singing and art classes, which she actually grew to enjoy. It was around that time that her love for tattoos started to develop. Unfortunately, however, at the age of thirteen, Tina tore her ACL, ending her basketball career. Her world came crashing down on June 14th, 2013. It was the last day of school, therefore they'd been let out of class early. Tina rode the subway home, as normal, arriving shortly before her brother. It was unusually quiet when she entered the house; her mother should have been getting ready to leave for work. Upon entering her mother's room, Tina saw that she was still laying in bed. She tried to shake her awake; if she wasn't awake within a few minutes, she'd be late for work. Tina shook as hard as she could, but her mother didn't move an inch. It was in that moment Tina realized that her mother was not breathing. Later on in her life she came to find out that her mother had stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Pancreatic cancer is often diagnosed at a late stage because it tends not to show symptoms early on, and because of this, the cancer was incurable. After her mother's death, Tina and Terrance moved just a few blocks away to their Grandmother's house. They've been living with her ever since.
