The Valmont family has enough money to ensure that Daphne never works a day in her life.[/indent] [color=b8f1ff]Appearance Details[/color] [list][*][b][color=b8f1ff]Hair:[/color][/b] Dark Brown | Mid-length | Often styled in soft, carefully-placed waves. [*][b][color=b8f1ff]Eyes:[/color][/b] Light blue with specks of hazel green. [*][b][color=b8f1ff]Height:[/color][/b] Five feet, seven inches. [*][b][color=b8f1ff]Body Type:[/color][/b] Slender, hourglass shape. [*][b][color=b8f1ff]Clothing Style:[/color][/b] Uniform || Daphne's uniform is always impeccably pristine and perfectly pressed. She takes great care in ensuring that her tie is neatly placed and her blouse is perfectly tucked in. Her plaid skirt is deliberately situated just below her mid-thigh, showing just enough skin to draw attention without being too provocative and landing her in the principal's office. Daphne's attention to detail extends to her choice of stockings, preferring white or nude with delicate lace detailing that adds a touch of elegance to her ensemble. In terms of footwear, she opts for designer closed-toe pumps - Louboutins or Prada, if being specific. To complete her look, Daphne wears dainty jewelry - usually, a diamond bracelet and earrings to match. Casual || Daphne's casual style can be described as chic, tailored, and feminine. Her wardrobe is designer-heavy, featuring luxury items from Birkin bags to La Perla lingerie. While she doesn't stick to one look, it's safe to assume that she'll wear a dress or skirt paired with a blazer- you would rarely catch her in jeans or sweatpants, however. [*][b][color=b8f1ff]Makeup Wise:[/color][/b] She prefers to keep a natural, dewy look for day-to-day affairs; rose tinted lips, sheer foundation, subtle highlighter, neutral eyeshadow, and false lashes. However, she prefers stronger make-up looks on night outs or special occasions, such as galas and nightclubs. [*][b][color=b8f1ff]Scars, Tattoos and/or Piercings:[/color][/b] Single ear piercings on each lobe. [/list] [color=b8f1ff]Personality[/color] [indent] Daphne is a bittersweet and complex entity. From her perfectly manicured nails to her prim posture, there's no denying the magnitude of wealth this beauty holds. Opulence is not only found in her outfits, but in her entire lifestyle. Never could she be spotted with a strand of hair out of place or a chipped nail, unless she's in the middle of a great party. One would expect her to be able to steer clear of trouble, given her privileged background and refined appearance, but looks can be deceiving. Beneath that polished exterior lies a girl with a hatred for boredom and an inability to resist temptation. Daphne is a notorious socialite who is known for her party girl antics. She’s effortlessly confident, impulsive, and charming - simultaneously unpredictable and captivating to the public eye. Usually the one instigating fun (or drama), there’s never a dull moment around her. As a result of her affluent upbringing, she can come across as superficial and entitled, an elitist to be more precise, but don't mistake her for a rich fool, her mind is as sharp as her looks. Even if not excelling academically, she is particularly observant of her environment and she is able to notice subtle changes in social situations. If she has something to say, she will say it without blinking, regardless as to whom she hurts. When it comes to her inner circle, Daphne is fiercely protective and will do whatever it takes to ensure their success and happiness, even if her methods are [i]questionable[/i] at times. [/indent] [color=b8f1ff]Acceptance Status:[/color] [indent]Parents paid for her place in Edgebaston Academy.[/indent] [color=b8f1ff]History[/color] [indent] From the moment Daphne Valmont enters a room, her elegance and grace are palpable. It's impossible to ignore the aura of luxury that surrounds her. Born and raised in Manhattan, New York to a blue-blooded family with wealth dating back centuries ago - she is practically considered American royalty. William Valmont - business magnate, real estate tycoon, and father to Daphne - is most widely known as the owner and CEO of Valmont hotel and resort enterprise that extend around the globe. Whereas Lena Valmont, his beloved wife, is a Spanish-born heiress and celebrity chef - owning a chain of Michelin-star restaurants. Doted on hand and foot, there's nothing that Daphne could ever be in want of, nothing that she could ever desire that wouldn't be hers the moment she told her parents she wanted it. However, she often found that the "flawless" world she lived in was actually immensely flawed. Regardless of what their lives were behind the cameras, the Valmonts were expected to portray the perfect family in the public eye, whether it be in philanthropic auctions, movie premieres, or business galas. At age thirteen, she found her father in the Egyptian Cotton adorned California King Bed with his personal assistant. Daphne felt obliged to tell her mother, who immediately wanted to file for divorce. Her father, however, knew exactly what strings to pull and her mother emerged the following evening wearing glistening Harry Winston jewelry around her creamy neck and a boarding pass with Daphne's name in her manicured hand. Her father found it was best if Daphne wasn't around as he pursued relations with his assistant. Thus began her [s]forced[/s] enrollment at Edgebaston Academy. The transfer was devastating for Daphne, who had to leave behind the Big Apple for a small rural town in the middle of nowhere. Her mother wasn't a saint, either. She was equally disengaged from her daughter's life, more interested in her own pursuits than in nurturing a relationship with her child. She spent most of her time jetting off to exotic locales on private jets or lounging on their luxurious yachts. Whenever she did spend time with her daughter, she would push her into becoming the fakest, most "perfect" version of herself. She would serve less food on days where she looked “a little flabby”, and even personally coordinated a plastic surgery consultation for her “Dumbo ears”. Because of her mother's erratic behavior, Daphne's quest for having the perfect appearance was cemented into her mindset, even if her actions didn't quite match her pristine exterior. Her obsession with her image extended to social media, where she unapologetically posts at least once a day and obsesses over the smallest details in her content. As the years passed, Daphne became accustomed to life in North Carolina. She has become notorious for being the quintessential socialite and has hosted a multitude of academy events (plus underground parties) for students at Edgebaston Academy.
