Solana is a curvy, biracial woman, standing at five feet, seven inches tall and weighing in at a little over one-hundred fifty pounds. Her honey-colored skin is usually free of any blemishes, an exception being the vertical scar on her upper lip which she covers up with makeup. Her natural hair is curly, dark brown, and shoulder length. You'll usually see her with blonde hair, however, as she prefers to bleach it. Solana carries herself elegantly with good posture, long confident strides and her head held high. She often looks taller than her height of 5"7 considering that she's always wearing heels when she has the chance. Solana usually applies a full face of makeup in the mornings, therefore enhancing her natural beauty.

Solana has her nose and her belly button pierced, and has a small tattoo on her left shoulder of the sun. She also has a burn scar on her left thigh from a childhood incident.

When it comes to her fashion sense, Solana usually sticks to the basics: ripped skinny jeans, a solid color T-shirt, and whatever pair of sneakers that is popular at the moment. She likes to look her best everyday, and usually spends about two hours each morning making sure that there's nothing out of place. It's rare to see her in a state of disarray as she believes that she should always look prepared and presentable, especially when she's the most frazzled.

It's complicated. Solana has been on and off with the same young woman for a little over a year. Recently, she's been keeping her distance due to the woman not being a positive influence in her life.

Solana considers the core aspect of her personality to be determination. Her intelligence is mostly based on her determination to succeed. A textbook extrovert, Solana loves to chat and debate with other people, but isn't as friendly as she could be. Like her elder brother, she tends to speak her mind without thinking, even if it is some sort of insult. She is also very opinionated and slightly judgmental. In spite of all of this, Solana is only truly nasty when she's extremely frustrated or really dislikes someone.

Sol is a perfectionist who has high standards for herself, and has a tendency to correct people and nitpick. Every now and then, she is dishonest and manipulative. Because she is always glancing in a mirror or taking long periods of time to get ready in the mornings, a lot of people also believe that she is conceited and vain. Despite all of her shortcomings, there's no denying that Sol is extremely bold and dependable. For the most part she's pleasant enough to be around and is usually willing to extend a helping hand to someone.

Solana was born on January 1st in Brownsville, Brooklyn, the product of an unexpected and unwanted teen pregnancy. Despite being deemed "not ready" to raise a kid by her family, Solana's mother still decided to bring her "bundle of joy" into this world. She was very surprised to find that she'd been pregnant with twins. The twins' mother had much trouble affording clothes, diapers, and formula for her children. Solana's father had dropped out of high school and got a job, but it still wasn't enough to support all four of them. Long story short, the parents decided to put Solana and her brother up for adoption. The two were separated a couple of weeks later; Solana's brother was adopted by a couple from California, and Solana was adopted by a couple who lived in Bedford Stuyvesant. There, the small family lived in a small apartment until she was ten, when they decided to move to Manhattan.

Solana was extremely introverted growing up, and never made friends very easily. She'd spend most of her time, if not with her parents, in her room, singing and dancing around. It wasn't until she was thirteen that her mom finally convinced her to audition for her school's production of The Wiz. While her dancing wasn't as good, Solana's tremendous voice landed her the lead role. It was then that she began to break out of her shell. As she grew older, her acting and dancing improved, as well as her social skills. She soon started to spend more and more time rehearsing or hanging out with friends, and less time staying home. She also began to develop her own fashion sense, and by her Junior year of high school, was one of the more "popular" girls in her school. Things were starting to look up for her until the day her parents got into a fatal car accident, leaving the young woman alone.

Sixteen year old Solana, after her parent's death, soon began to spiral. She was put into the foster care system, her grades began to slip considerably, depression was a real bitch, and she began to get into more trouble than ever. Eventually, Solana just outright gave up and, after only finishing one semester of her senior year, stopped going to school. She'd even run away from her foster home, living with an old friend and working at a fast food joint until the feds found her and returned her home safely a few weeks later. It took a lot of convincing to get her to agree to finish the final semester.

After suddenly becoming an orphan, Solana lost all motivation and stopped attending school.
