WELL HELLO THERE! I'M noma AND I'M CURRENTLY 19/b]! I'VE BEEN ROLEPLAYING FOR 6 years AND YOU CAN CHECK OUT MY ROLEPLAY SAMPLE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE. AS YOU CAN SEE, I'M CURRENTLY USING Jana Kramer AS THE FACE OF MY CHARACTER! LAST BUT NOT LEAST, MY OTHER CHARACTERS ARE none at the moment!
the basics
character name : Giovanna Lee Russo
nickname(s) : Gia
age : twenty-six
date of birth : January 11, 1987
member group: local
sexual orientation : heterosexual
occupation : owns her own wedding business "Head Over Heels"
the appearance
appearance : Gia is always in some nice dressy clothing during the week, like a southern bell. She may be a preachers daughter but she knows how to make classy into sexy. Typically she can be found in skinny jeans, heels, and a nice dress shirt or just a nice form fitting dress. People wouldn't use her business if she was some skank. On the weekends she dresses like your average country girl. Its not unusual to see her in worn daisy dukes and a tied off plaid shirt with her wavy brown hair cascading down her back.
Makeup is typically worn lightly, mainly mascara, eye liner and maybe chapstick to make her lips shinny. She doesn't see the need in having to cake on makeup to make herself feel better. Besides, not every eyeshadow goes well with her dark brown eyes. Her hair is almost always down, sometimes it'll be in a ponytail or some sort of braids, it depends on her mood usually. As for tattoos, on her inner left arm theres "Believe." Some small scars are scattered around just like any other person.

history : Giovanna was born and raised in a small town. Her father is a preacher and her mother practices nursing at the local hospital. Having been born premature by a month she sustained a heart defect, the doctors determined that it wouldn't sustain her life for longer than forty years at best. Her weak heart has prevented her from being able to do vigerous sports. While all the other children were able to run around and play soccer or other activities she had to stay off to the side and watch everyone else have a good time. Outside of school she helped her father out with church. Her favorite part was whenever someone would get married in the small church. She loved decorating and watching the bride walk down the isle. From an early age she had skill as decorating and arranging the flowers. Every night after a wedding she would always pray for god to bless her with the chance to get married, not an overwhelming wedding but a small, low-key wedding.
During high school she was always the person people would go to for advice. Other than that she was just the preachers daughter, her only friends were forced to attend church on Sundays. None of the boys in her town ever wanted to date her because they would be under a tough spotlight dating the preachers daughter. It saddened her a bit but she was able to concentrate on her studies. Graduating as valedictorian of her class she quickly enrolled in the local community college for business. Finally she was able to get more friends, ones that her parents frowned upon. They were wild, to say the least. Every weekend they would go muding or just have your typical redneck party out in the woods, to her those were the best of times.
Shy of her twenty second birthday her friends took her to a Harley Davidson shop. A concert of local bands were playing in the parking lot. It was there that she met her mystery man. She couldn't remember his name since he was a friend of a friend. They hung out the rest of the night, both pounding back bars on top of beers, one thing led into another and he took her V card. Knoxville was a place where everybody knew everybody's business. The next day somehow the word spread that the preachers daughter had given herself to a complete stranger. A month later she found out she was going to be having a child by this man. Of course she tried to get in contact with the man but he had left town and no one could get a hold of him. Four months into the pregnancy she started having fainting spells and found herself getting tired easily. The doctor ran tests and determined that the baby was putting too much stress on her already weak heart. Ultimately the pregnancy was terminated.
Her parents were not happy of her decision yet they were glad that her life wasn't in as much danger. Quickly word spread around town, some people called her a slut or a murderer when they never understood the whole story. Finishing her bachelors business degree she got a call from an old friend who invited her on a trip to Maine to visit one of their friend's for a vacation. Gia agreed on the trip, since then she hasn't left. Liking the town so much she rented a condo and decided to stay. Besides, she did some research and found out that Hope Harbor is a prime location to have her wedding business. Shes been in here for the past three years successfully being a wedding planner. Barely a mile from her condo she rents a small office for her business "Head Over Heels." On the side she helps out her neighbors by watching their children since they are single parents, plus they are children. She'll do anything for children. Hope Harbor is her home for now, where she plans on living out the next decade that she has left. Who knows what the town will have in store for her.[/b]
the sample post
The work week thus far was going quite well, despite for her assistant being out on a family emergency. It was only wednesday and she was able to book four more weddings for next summer. Generally, the weddings that Giovanna does aren't little by any means. She has the tendency to attract the most outlandish people who expect her to get everything but god himself to supply their weddings. With the shop, "Head Over Heels," only have been opened for the past few years she's making far more money than she had expected to be.
Sighing she took a break from writing ideas down. Some days she can only handle so much creativity before her brain starts to over heat with the plethora of ideas that just flow though her brain faster than Niagra falls. Leaving her leather seat she adjusted her black business skirt, the darn thing had a tendency to rise even though she had a belt on. Against the tiled floor her high heels clucked, the room was otherwise silent. Stopping at the window she smiled to herself, there were children from the nearby school heading home. They scurried about playing with one another before stopping until an adult would help them across the main street. Gia couldn't help but think where have those simple days gone?
A hand ran through her long brown hair as she closed her eyes. Certainly her job was stressful, like any other, but somedays all of that stress seemed to overwhelm her. All of that would worry her which wouldn't do her any good. The doctors always tell her to cut down on her stress level but she can't help it. All she ever thinks about is if she'll be able to get a heart transplant before this one gives out. All she would like is to be able to have a normal life without having to worry about things that elderly people are suppose to be worrying about. Someone her age should be starting to settle down from their partying years and be considering starting a family. Thats all she wants, a family, even if she might not be part of it for very long it would still mean the world to her.

Between the current wedding(we’ll say she organized it) & another up coming on she is of good use. We can’t wait to get to know you and Gia. Again, welcome to All Too Well.
