Name: Cadenza De Luca
Nicknames: N/A
Age: 17
Birthday: October 25th
Sign: Scorpio
Blood type: O-
Fav. Food: Turkey sandwiches, panini style
Hated Food: Onions, anything with a distinct taste of onions
School: Barren Pines
Hobbies:
Cello: Her cello playing is what got her into Barren Pines, and it's something that she enjoys very much. For all she likes the attention, she will often take time by herself to simply play what and how she chooses as a way to center herself.
Facebooking: Cadenza is a social butterfly, and when not able to physically be around people, she is often on her phone or laptop, spaming out game and quiz invites and sending 'hello' messages to anyone online, hoping to strike up a conversation.
Gemstone: Opal
Gift:
Cello: Coming from a musical family, Cadenza picked up instrument playing at a young age, and has quite a flair for the cello. Not normally seen a versatile or contemporary instrument, Cadenza plays it with an unusual intensity that can only be described as passion. Her natural talent has been honed through nearly a decade of practice, hard work, and dedication and she takes great joy in playing. Classically trained though she may be, she brings a youthful perspective on how how the cello can be used.
* Please see Ben Sollee for Cadenza's more non-traditional use of the cello.
Virtues:
Dedicated: From years of practice centered on the cello, this virtue has been learned well by Cadenza. Reliable and steadfast, she's certainly not one to shirk off her responsibilities upon others or make excuses to herself so that she can procrastinate. This virtue extends from the cello and into her school work, and any other extra curricular activity she may find herself involved in.
Sociable: If there's anything in life that Cadenza loves more than playing for an audience, it's mingling with said audience. For her, being in the middle of a lively conversation is just as rewarding, in it's own way, as being center-stage. Whether she's on a first-name basis with everyone in the room or doesn't know you from Adam or Eve, Cadenza is hardly ever ill at ease in a crowded room.
Flaws:
Know-it-all: Cadenza is the student that needs an extra piece of paper to finish up her short-answer sections on tests, the first one with her hand in the air to answer a question, and definitely the one to step up in a group project and take charge. While these leadership qualities can be admirable, Cadenza's earnest and energetic belief that she knows best often gets the better of her, and mixed with her penchant for showing off, explored further below, comes off as arrogant and self-centered.
Showoff: Going hand-in-hand with her know-it-all nature, Cadenza is prone to leap at any chance that presents itself to show off just how good she is, and not just with the cello. School, family gatherings, even just hanging out with friends, she might go off on tangents about the time she did such and such, played with so and so, and earned this and that award. She's certainly not someone offended by the sound of her own voice.
