In Depth Appearance;
Ida's a petite young lady, standing no more than 5'3, with definite curves in just the right places. She has a revealing vertical scar on her chest w/c she got from a heart surgery when she was 12. Because of this, she would wear shirts that would conceal the most part of her chest, usually to avoid people asking about it (w/c gets really tiresome to explain overtime). Although at some occasions she doesnt mind wearing V-necks or shoulder bare clothing, specially during her work hours. After highschool, she used to have long mid-length hair but, recently she decided to chop it off, for a change. 

Ida is somewhat a fashion nut to the point where she gets too overdressed,  as she has a fascination for pin up so most of the time she gets her style from there. She also has a fondess for dresses and cateeye make up, in a way earning it as a trademark. When no one looks, however, she has a lowkey fondness for silly graphic shirts and flannels.

Personality;
Positive Trait - Although a practical and straightforward person professionally, Ida's a free spirit, a complete opposite of the life she grew up in. A creative young woman and a good story teller, it's never dull when people hang out with her. She likes to socialize with different groups and collect a variety of ideas and opinions that she incorporates in her artistic works as a copywriter,  w/c  she is also very good at due to her outgoing nature. She aspires to be the best in what she does and would often take long nights of studying and research, a perfectionist, as some would come describe her. 

Negative Trait - She pushes herself too hard to the point that its too much for her to handle, as if she always wanted to prove something, to prove she's a better person than what people initially expect of her. She has so many insecurities that she'd shut people out when they get too close to her, and would mask her true feelings with her outgoing demeanor. Almost none would notice it, but someone who knows her well has no problem in seeing through the cracks and leaks. 

Place of Origin;
Manila, Philippines.




History;
Ida was born to a rich and controversial family of a political Dynasty. The Mercados were known for their power in the political seat during the 70's. Though the glory days have long been over, the family has always kept their reputation by squeezing in to fame through social publicities or politics. Ida hated it so much. 

She has 2 siblings, an older brother, Manuel, and a younger one, Alphonso, who were brought up to their parents strict standards, in both their public and private lives. Ida rarely had the freedom to enjoy childhood, with her every move watched and corrected by her mother, w/c more than once landed in harsh punishments. Ida hated her mother as much as she feared her. She never truly felt, therefore considered her as a maternal figure, but her caretaker, Nanay Edna, was more than a mother to her than she'll ever be. The kids are fond of Edna, and Ida always enjoyed her stories of fairies and dwarves as a young child who spent her years bedridden due to her heart condition. Overtime, Ida's heart condition worsened w/c immediately got her into surgery, and got that huge scar on her chest. Her condition was remedied for a time but  hasnt really fully recovered. By recommendation of the family doctor, Ida still has to be monitored regulary and as much as possible, avoid possible triggers that would endanger her current stability. 

Because of her parent's harsh upbringing it was no surprise that Ida rebelled against them, well, mentally at least. She was too good, too scared of defying her parents, until during her firsy year in college as an accounting major (by her parents wishes of course), someone, a good friend, had helped her get out and see the world. This is where she put her fantasy rebellion into reality, going to parties, skipping class(she hated math btw)and, oh yeah, coming out of the closet to w/c her parents, as the final being the last straw, banished her to New York with her Uncle Felipe. It's been three years since those events. She barely have any news of her family back in Manila, only through TFC or news articles and occasional calls with her younger brother, Alphonso. It seems like they dont even care and had completely forgotten her, w/c Ida is more than fine with as long as they dont bother her. At least that's what she tries to tell herself.
