She had a relationship with someone but it wasn’t exactly working out. That kind of happens when you catch someone with their pants down. Literally.[/i][/color][/indent][/indent] [/indent][indent][indent][sub][sub][color=sienna][h3][b]Connection to Rachel[/b][/h3][/color][/sub][/sub] [indent][color=gray][i]The connection between Stephanie Méndez-Carter and Rachel Ashford lies through her parents, or more particularly the opportunities provided by working for Carnation Island. Stephanie isn’t one of Rachel’s friends at Woodford University, though a handful of the service staff on Carnation Island even have a “Rachel story”. For Stephanie this can be attributed to a meeting held in her off-time, to which Rachel insisted to take Stephanie on a journey across the island, introducing her to some interesting people. Safe to say, the kitchen staff didn’t appreciate that Stephanie was late to her shift. Though what were they going to do? Fire her for conceding to Rachel Ashford? As if.[/i][/color][/indent][/indent] [/indent][indent][indent][sub][sub][color=sienna][h3][b]Appearance Details[/b][/h3][/color][/sub][/sub] [indent][color=gray][i]Stephanie is the daughter of two worlds. Her father, acclaimed chef Héctor Méndez, came to the United States from Guatemala when he was ten years old. Her mother, Hannah J. Carter, on the off-hand was a seventh generation American with Scot-Irish ancestry. Suffice to say, she looks like both of her parents. At five-foot-five, Stephanie is a reasonable height. She’s not too tall nor is she too undersized. Personally, she finds it a benefit that she can just meld into a crowd at a given time as she isn’t one who wants to be noticed for anything but her skills in the kitchen. As per base appearance goes, Stephanie looks undeniably Hispanic due to her father’s genetic profile taking precedence. Her skin is darker than her mothers and her hair is a brown-black as opposed to her mother’s strawberry blonde. That aside, her eyes and other features represent her mother far more. Though perhaps the mother-daughter’s equal love for sarcastic wit, dismissive quips, and vengeful retorts are more prevalent than a first-glance look at their appearance. When it comes to Stephanie’s fashion choice, she is a woman of many tastes but being on Carnation Island and mostly in a working environment has changed a lot of things. She’s a long way from Troy, Michigan. Adapting to the climate differences have been a fun exercise, though she hasn’t had a lot of time due to the circumstances of her live-in job. She honestly misses the metropolitan feel of Detroit, as odd as it sounds. But she won’t be on Carnation forever.[/i][/color][/indent][/indent] [/indent][indent][indent][sub][sub][color=sienna][h3][b]Personality Traits[/b][/h3][/color][/sub][/sub] [indent][color=gray][i]Accommodating Diligent Envious Judgmental Patient Progressive Proud Sarcastic Spiteful Temperamental[/i][/color][/indent][/indent] [/indent][indent][indent][sub][sub][color=sienna][h3][b]Upbringing Synopsis[/b][/h3][/color][/sub][/sub] [indent][color=gray][i]Rachel Méndez-Carter was born in Troy, Michigan to a loving albeit highly competitive family. She is the third oldest of a group of five children, of which she has taken the “responsible big sister” role more times than she is comfortable with. Her parents, a professional chef and a shrewd accountant, would raise the five of them with determination but also a clear-sighted goal of toughening them up so the world couldn’t ‘eat’ them. The measure of their success was based on how ready they were and as a result it created an interesting dynamic within the household, though perhaps not the most healthy one. Her brothers Daniel and Patrick often teased her and challenged her in their attempt to make her react, to which is quite possibly where her temperamental and easily annoyed personality comes from. Like her brother Daniel and Patrick, Stephanie aspired to follow in her father’s footsteps. The Méndez-Carter family kitchen as a result was often described as an “arena” and “battleground”. All three of the culinary-minded siblings would find it equal parts a bonding exercise and a exponentially difficult test of their growing skills as potential chefs. It would be no surprise that all three of them would apply to different culinary schools and apply for different prestigious jobs in the industry as young talents. Stephanie often speculated that her father's name got their foot in the door faster, but it was what it was. Stephanie in particular ended up with possibly the most “big name” employment, though her brothers do to this day continue to mock and challenge her through social media. This job, in particular, was being kitchen service staff – particularly that of a line cook – to Carnation Island. It’s been a wild first year, full of challenges and a burnout romance with a fellow employee of the resort. It’s hard to say what’s next, but Stephanie is going to give it her all.
