Her dark brown hair easily sweeps her shoulders, framing her heart shaped face and large, gray eyes. Her plump lips are usually curved into a smile, matching the typical deposition she tends to have. At this point in her life it's obvious she takes very good care of herself, having a toned and trained body ready at any time (as a few broken noses and bruises can attest to). Her [url=https://i.imgur.com/Rmbq9EK.png]usual style of clothing[/url] varies depending on whatever whimsy she feels, though the one consistency is a [url=https://i.pinimg.com/564x/41/d5/39/41d53901b4d121671addae0f6cf663eb.jpg]pearl pendant[/url] hanging around her neck--she is never seen without it. On entering the [i]World of Fog[/i], Cara ends up in one of her favorite workout outfits: an orange and red cropped hoodie, a pair of trendy slit cross-lined yoga pants, and some laceless sneakers. She'll usually pull her hair up into a ponytail to keep it from getting too distracting, though she won't turn on her music since it's probably better to be aware of her surroundings.[/color][/indent] [color=lightsalmon][b]Height[/b][/color] [indent][color=Silver]5'9"[/color][/indent] [color=lightsalmon][b]Personality[/b][/color] [indent][color=Silver]Cara comes off as a very straightforward person. She has no issues offering her opinion on a matter, and is generally open minded, making her easy to talk to. She has a rather positive deposition, an optimistic view on nearly everything, and likes to look for the silver linings in even the worst situations. Having an eye for detail, she picks up on the little things, and is welcoming to whoever seeks her out. Calm and usually keeping a calm head, she is a driven woman who has taken on a lot of responsibility in a short amount of time, having learned to make difficult decisions for the good of her little family. That being said, she does tend to lean on the blunter side of things and seems to have no end to her sarcastic quips. Whenever her temper does flare up she won't hold backThere also tends to be a certain point where people realize that she hardly opens up about herself, keeping people at arm's length. She seems to struggle with confiding in people, preferring to talk about anything or anyone else. Her family seems to be a sensitive topic, though she does at least give the bare minimum on why in that department. She has a bitter point of view regarding her own life, doing what's needed to provide for said family.[/color][/indent] [hr] [color=lightsalmon][b]Persona[/b][/color] [color=gold][url=https://i.imgur.com/lJoWUFC.jpg][b]Philomena[/b][/url] of [b]the Lovers[/b] Arcana[/color] [sub][color=silver]Despite devoting herself and her purity to the Lord at a young age, her father promised her hand to the Emperor. In a fit of rage and influenced by the devil, he imprisoned and tortured her, visiting her every day and asking again and again for her hand in marriage. She adamantly refused each time, and repeatedly made several attempts at her life, with divine intervention saving her three times. Finally, the emperor had her beheaded, and thus was she able to keep her vow of purity. Centuries after her death, her tomb was discovered, and upon moving an urn with her blood, they glittered and shone like diamonds.

She was brought up with two principals: anything worth doing was meant to be put in one hundred percent, and family was everything. The former was exemplified with her hard working parents demonstrating it nearly every day, the latter coming easily with a loving family and a slightly annoying younger sister. Still, for Cara her main focus was always on training, her passion for mixed martial arts blooming around the time she hit secondary school. Once she turned 18, she finally received her mother's reluctant approval to participate in tournaments--the only caveat would be that she'd continue her education to fall back on. Cara was convinced that MMA was her life and wanted to dedicate everything to it. Six months ago, her priorities shifted as a car accident took not only her parents' lives but those of her aunt and uncle. To her complete shock, she was named as her cousin's guardian, and she was suddenly in charge of both her cousin and younger sister. Gone was any dream of hers, replaced with the reality that she was now responsible not just for herself but for two other people. Her nursing degree was no longer a backup, but her main focus as she prioritized both Julia and Esperanza's well being. She figured having a legitimate job was better than the inconsistent pay placing in tournaments. Of course, the rest of the family didn't make anything easier, the constant criticisms on how Cara handled everything from childcare to choosing to remain in her parents' home grating on her more than she wanted to admit. It came to a head at a family dinner when the topic of Juliet's decision to continue her secondary education as far away from Spain as she could caused an explosive argument. Deciding to get away, Cara chose to leave the country and emigrate to England. She chose London on her coach's suggestion, and once there sought out the therapist he had suggested. It felt like things seemed to stabilize for the most part, although juggling Juliet and Esperanza while trying to settle into a new life at a new university was exceedingly difficult. Still, it was for family, and Cara made sure both of them were taken care of while she worked on graduating. All she needed to do was overcome this first hurdle before tackling the next.[/color] [color=lightsalmon][b]Affiliations[/b][/color] [hider=The Lucero de la Barrera Family][color=Silver][i]Juliet Lucero de la Barrera[/i] [sub]Cara's younger sister.
