She has a slim, statuesque build and seemingly flawless, warm, caramel-colored skin. Dark, thick locks of hair cascade down her back and curls around her youthful face. She has a prominent nose and full lips that always look poised to speak something important, but her most compelling features are her piercing brown eyes that can change from affection to aversion in an instant without notice. Weighing in at a little over one hundred sixty pounds and standing at five feet, ten inches tall in flats with all the grace and poise of a queen, Aulora probably could have been a model if she wasn't so infatuated with the theatre. Aulora carries herself elegantly with good posture, long confident strides, and her head held high. Due to this and her love of high heels, she often looks taller than she really is. When it comes to her fashion sense, Aulora always dresses to impress and loves making statements and setting trends. Her style can best be lumped in with urban-chic or street wear fashion. She has a talent for putting an interesting twist on what she wears, mixing high-end and low-end effortlessly. She does love striking makeup, though only when she wants to make a scene; her everyday glam consists of nude and brown shades of eye shadow, lipstick, and blush. As far as jewelry goes, Aulora is always iced out. With her flashy necklaces, rings, and bracelets, she can make the most basic and minimalist outfits look like they belong in a fashion editorial.[/indent] [color=#425790]Personality[/color] [center]Confident [color=#425790]♦[/color] Impulsive [color=#425790]♦[/color] Adventurous [color=#425790]♦[/color] Careless [color=#425790]♦[/color] Free-Spirited [color=#425790]♦[/color] Stubborn [color=#425790]♦[/color] Self-reliant[/center] [indent][color=#425790]»[/color] Ever since the day she was born, Aulora Kelly has been an adventurous free-spirit, something that she without a doubt inherited from her mom; Aulora's mother was the epitome of a free spirit. She was child of the 60s and 70s; she made her own clothes, dated men on her own terms, always spoke her mind and had a mess of thick, Italian-American hair, which she never wanted to tame. Aulora vividly remembers going through puberty and her mother telling her that she didn’t have to shave her legs or wear a bra if she didn’t want to. She was taught that makeup, clothing and all other objects of vanity should be tools to make her happy, not anyone else. She was shown that women can too be bold and adventurous. Aulora took her mother's advice to heart over the years, so it’s no surprise that she ended up being a free spirit herself. There is a certain confidence in the way that Aulora walks and talks; she has a way of commanding attention the moment she steps foot into a room and making strong first impressions. She has never been one to shy away from any platform or spotlight, and will always speak her mind without hesitation or timidity. This can easily be seen when she's performing in burlesque shows or auditioning for a lead role in an upcoming production. Also thanks to her mother's superb parenting, Aulora has grown to be a very self-reliant and independent young woman. She knows how to deal with things on her own, and rarely calls on the help of her family members or peers. There are a few downsides to Aulora's persona, the main one being her impulsiveness and carelessness. While being adventurous, Aulora also has a history of making decisions without thinking them completely through, which probably should result in her regretting them later on. The thing with Aulora, however, is that she [i]doesn't[/i] regret much of anything. In fact, one of the many philosophies she lives by is that there are no regrets in life, just lessons. Therefore, she'll usually apologize if she does someone dirty, but the apology may not always be sincere. Aulora also has a problem with relationship commitment; she feels as though she functions better when she only has to worry about herself. She doesn't ever plan on having kids, and even the idea of marriage is laughable to her. [/indent] [color=#425790]Upbringing Synopsis[/color] [indent][color=#425790]»[/color] Aulora Kelly spent the first ten years of her life in Baltimore, Maryland. She was raised by a single mother who worked as an elementary school art teacher; she didn't bring in much money, but she made just enough to afford them a two-bedroom apartment downtown and keep food on the table. Since Aulora's father was an anonymous sperm donor and her mother rarely brought men home, she never had a father figure around the house; not that she needed one. Aulora always believed that all she ever needed in this world was her mother, therefore she never tried to find out more about who her father was or why he'd made the choice to help impregnate random women. Growing up, Aulora was always taught to be herself in every aspect. Her mother had no problem when her nine year old daughter decided that she wanted to dye all of her hair bright pink and wear rainbow pattern socks to school everyday. No, she [i]encouraged[/i] it. Aulora had such a tight bond with her mother that she knew she could tell her everything from who was bullying her in school all the way up to when she was sixteen and had sex for the first time. Even after the two of them relocated to New York and Aulora decided that she was in love with Broadway, her mother was one hundred percent on board. She took Aulora to as many Broadway shows as she could during her teen years, during which time Aulora made the decision to pursue a career in theatre. Theater geek. That was what most people referred to Aulora as in high school, but she didn't give a damn. In fact, the only things that Aulora was worried about at that time were her small group of friends, one of them being the Daphne Seara, and her goals. Her hard work paid off; she was given an almost full-ride scholarship to NYU where she would move on to double major in theatre and dance. Aulora was devastated when she realized that a good portion of her friends were moving to other states for college, but she perked up as soon as she caught sight of the NYU Frederick Loewe Theatre. She graduated four years later with two bachelors degrees and a heart set on acting. Burlesque dancing was not exactly what Aulora had planned on doing for the first couple of years following her graduation. She'd found the job on accident, but ended up enjoying it more than she initially thought she would. By day, Aulora spends her time auditioning for upcoming productions or movies, and by night she ditches the scripts and ballet slippers for feather boas and corsets. She now lives in a small apartment building in Queens with her Yorkie, Patsy. While all of her friends were getting hitched early on and designating Aulora as one of their bridesmaids (eight times, to be exact), Aulora dates often but rarely brings any of them home to meet Patsy. In fact, most of them rarely make it past a third date. Aulora was happy for her friend when she received word of the upcoming wedding. She was also excited that her longtime friend wanted her as a bridesmaid, and even more so when she found out that it'd be in [i]Vegas[/i].[/indent] [color=#425790]Extra! Extra![/color] [indent][color=#425790]»[/color]She loves drinking and hearing herself talk, hates cats, and paces when she's nervous.[/indent] [hr][center][img]https://i.imgur.com/hrIXD8X.gif[/img] [url=https://78.media.tumblr.com/732d4aa73493fa32c423dde75f9bfc4c/tumblr_orkafoyIov1v6tynoo1_500.jpg][sub]Ashley Moore[/sub][/url][/center][hr] [/color] [/hider]
