Noted Outfits: 
,
She also likes adding organic elements to her outfits. , Personality: Solstice is very introverted and some may even call her anti social. The latter is not the fact. Although she tends to keep to her self the reason behind it isn't the norm. She has a habit to always analyze, weather it be people or her surroundings, or even the method of scenarios that happen in her daily life. She has a photographic memory and a form of OCD along with it. She'll often form opinions of people in her head based on her analysis even before she gets a chance to know them, preventing her from wanting to get to know them. She isn't aggressive toward people she doesn't wish to associate with. If anything she's passive to them. Social habits aside Solstice is a pretty caring person, and though her expression, and the way she carries herself wouldn't show it; she's also pretty sensitive, another reason why being social isn't one of her best abilities. She's very opinionated and has a thought about any subject matter, most of the time she's very open to share her thoughts, and even more willing to debate anyone that disagree's with her notions. Some people think she likes to instigate, while others think she just likes being a know it all. Due to these indifferent social traits its not uncommon for people to dislike her, not usually getting opportunities to see any side of her aside from the argumentative one. When faced with an issue she's bound to take it on from a tactical stand point, rather than head on, or searching for assistance. She's stubborn and hot headed, although not usually hostile she does get quick tempered.

Biography/History:
Life
Although Diego had been in an average enough house hold, she was doomed from the start. She was born with a heart condition. It wouldn't impact her greatly through out life at all, but it was expected to shorten her life span severely. The thing is, she was basically a time bomb, faith had a predetermined course for her, and it was an unexpected death.
Her father had wanted a boy, which is were the name Diego began; It was in the family. His father had just passed and he wanted to pass it off to his next kin but failed to produce a sperm of his likeness. She always resented her parents for naming her Diego, not that her middle name, Margret was any better. Diego was the youngest of three children. She had two older sisters Helena and Melisa. They were only a year apart from each other, but acted like twins. Of course the two of them were eight and nine years older than Diego and never really formed bonds in her childhood. There isn't much that Diego personally remembers back from those days, she didn't actually stay in that setting for too long before she ran away and never came back. She lived with her family in a knock off wanna be suburban setting untill the age of ten.
Her mother was a waitress, as far as her children knew she worked at the Ihop 5 cities over, although this was a lie to cover up the grotesque nature of her actual job, which Diego saw many years after leaving. Her father was a factory worker for a company that made steel window panes. She and her sisters were always being left in the care of some sort of sitter, most of which were hardly qualified, too clingy, or just plain out freaks. With her sisters always running off by themselves Diego spent alot of time by herself, since her main interaction with people was in sitters for the first few years of her life she learned to avoid people which ended up a trend for her socially later in life. When she was old enough to attend school she didn't make friends easilly, actually she was bullied very frequently. At this stage in her life she was pretty submissive to it all. With time she grew colder mentally. She didn't like her siblings, or even her parents. She just didn't have any ties so she left. And at first running away was the better option. She lived by her own rules, and did what she wanted but when summer turned to fall and than winter her survival instincts were challenged.
It was cold, and she was thin and starving, the people on the streets in the warmer seasons were kinder. The vendors had more open hearts and the folk that she saw that saw her back, as the homeless girl on third Avenue; they were warm people. When the weather grew wet, dark and cold, the personalities of the folk in the city also changed. Its the very reason Seattle has a high suicide rate, the weather makes people unpleasant. At this point in her life Diego had formed a habit of getting up and leaving when things got too disappointing. So that's what she did. She got up and left again, traveling down the road hoping to find a better way to live. One night while walking a man attacked her. He wanted far more than just her money and for the first time in her life she ignored the voice in her head that told her to stay submissive to problems. She had a face covered in dirt, ratty hair, and stains of mud damaged her clothes, yet the look in her eye was not defeated, she kicked him in the chin and grabbed a bottle laying broken by it's neck near by and slit his neck with it. Then stole what he had on him.
For the next few years she squatted in various areas across the country. She stowed away in boats and compartments, she learned to live to get by on close to nothing. She saw parts of the city others wouldn't discover until many years later, if ever at all. When she was 14 years old she was living in LA she got there while stowing away in the cargo hold of a luxury liner. It wasn't the friendliest city in the daylight.. Diego was still just squatting were she could manage to go unnoticed. She found an abandoned house that's windows were boarded up and the lawn was a mess. She lived there for a few months and actually made herself quite comfy. There was an old sofa that was torn apart in the back. The water and electricity was still on. The upstairs had three rooms in a walk around format that ends with a stair case to the basement. The door inside however was locked. Which didn't bother Diego one bit in the slightest. Until the day she found out why the door was locked, and what was going on in the bottom level of 'her' house. Too keep it short, the operations happening beneath the ground were of a sketchy variety. After the discovery she continued living above till one night the stair case door swung open. She had been in the opposite side of the house and heard it, afraid of what would happen if she were found she fled. At this point she was already a young teen and she was more capable of living in the streets of the city. However that time developed her persona, she became a stereotypical street rat, a bratty punk. but this phase of her life was abruptly cut off when soon after she got involved in street wars. She had joined some gang, she didn't really know what their message was, she just liked wearing the color, yellow and she had been bored and wanted to get involved in something mischievous. She was in over her head without knowing it. The third scramble she attended she was shot in the chest, along with that bullet 6 other bullets flew through the gun, grazing people left and right only a few other went deep. One person died, but the mass effect were those that stood by and saw it, several cars peeled out leaving 4 including herself on the streets.
She lost a lot of blood, passed out and woke up surrounded in white. It took days before she managed to push some answers out of people, but even once one answer was given she was left thinking of others. She was in a hospital, and an officer had come in to ask her questions. At the time she was less than cooperative. However they managed to figure out she was a homeless teen. They shipped her off to an all girls group home across town were she was forced back into a common society. She was kept there till she was 18. The institution had tried very hard, and seamingly spent alot of money to make themselves appear to be a private all girls academy. However it was obvious that in the walls of the 'Academy' there were girls with back stories far more tragic than Diego's.
When uprooted from the streets and taken in for her injury no one ever managed to get Diego's name out of her. She gave them a fake name, Solstice. And since then it's the only name any one has had to identify her as.
Her time in the Academy was very lonely, she opted out of making conversation with the people of this forced habitat and instead kept to herself solely. When she was released she got a job, and rented her own apartment. Five months after she moved in she was hit by a large truck while crossing traffic. She had a near death experience while she stayed in a short coma, were she claims she saw soul society in dreams previous to ever dying. She lived for 3 days after that point and then died when her heart ruptured coincidentally.
Soul Society:
The days between when Solstice was hit by the car, and the day that her heart eventually burst were all blurred together in her mind. As she rested in that coma before hand she saw foggy delusions into the world she was later brought. In fact thinking back she couldn't recall any time as a whole after her death. Just a heavy warm sleep, and being greeted by that first soul in Rukongai. When she first found herself in the third district she was resting in this old ladys bed. She explained to her that she was a retired nurse and that a soul reaper had brought her here through the senkaimon. The old woman spoke kindly of the reaper although Solstice didn't remember him herself.
For a while after that Solstice stayed with the old woman and helped her with chores in return for the spare room. However she later opted into finding her own place in this new world. She explored a few districts of rukongai. She found that in alot of them it was a trend to pick fights and assert toughness, some men felt it was exceptionally easy to pick on those thinner and smaller than they while passing by, and although Solstice definitely fit that description it was a fairly deceptive one. Although she wasn't the best, and it did ocur that she would sometimes be beaten in a scrimmage, she happened to have a pretty good streak in her favor. This alone pursuaded her to do something a little more meaningful with her life. And she entered the soul reaper academy.
