Name: Isabella Alessandra Moretti
Nickname: Isa
Age: 18
Birthday: January 5th
Sign: Capricorn
Gemstone: Garnet
Blood Type: AB-
Fav. Food: Her mom's noodle salad.
Hated Food: Meats, mostly pork and beef.
School: St-Magsdalena's Seminary
Hobbies:
Videogames - MMO, RPG, FPS. You name it, Isa plays it. Most of her time is spent away on videogames, she owns every single console and handheld out there. Her bookshelf is actually filled to the brim with her games, and some are on the floor from the lack of space. She's spent many nights and morning on her games, but she likes the challenge and all the different other worlds that allow her to escape her own.
Cooking - Her great grandmother was a cook, her grandmother was also a great cook, her mother is a chef, and Isabella follows closely her family's cooking history. In fact, she plans on becoming a chef like her own mother except preferably working in her own restaurant when she has the money. For now though, she enjoys every Sundays helping her mother prepare food for the whole family.
Virtues:
Intelligent - If there is one word that could truly describe Isabella, it would have to be geek or maybe even nerd; she seems to fit into both categories. She's good at logical analysis, and likes to use it on practical concerns. She typically has strong powers of reasoning, although she's not interested in theories or concepts unless she can see a practical application. And like your average geek, Isabella likes and enjoys spending time alone, because this is when she can sort things out in her mind most clearly.
Responsible - Isabella feels a strong sense of responsibility and duty. She takes her responsibilities very seriously, and can be counted on to follow through. For this reason, people naturally tend to rely on her. She does have a difficult time saying "no" when asked to do something, and may become over-burdened. Isabella's internal sense of duty often lends her a serious air and the motivation to follow through on tasks, she's organized and methodical in her approach, and can generally succeed at any task which she undertakes. She isn't comfortable with breaking laws or going against the rules. Isabella has been told that she is overly obsessed with structure, and quite insistent on doing everything "by the book".
Friendly - Isabella is friendly. Really friendly. She's That One Girl, the person who seems to have a little something in common with just about everyone. She's amicable in the sense that she can socialize with anyone and keep a conversation going for hours. She's not a social butterfly per say, but she does like fitting in one group or another, part of them all but not really belonging to any of them and having many friends on all sides.. You're pet goldfish just died? Oh damn, she's so sorry to hear that... she'll come by and try to help cheer you up and maybe bring so good old Italian spaghetti for good measure.
Flaws:
Nit-picky - Isabella is very nit-picky, she likes things to be orderly and perfect to the point where she'll actually be annoying to others around her. If she sees something that she doesn't like, she will say something and than go on about it until it's fixed. She likes everything to be in order and neat, if she see's something out of place she'll fix it right away. Isa will always let someone know what's bothering her and expects it to be fixed. Though she tries not to correct everyone, it's a little hard for her not to noticed certain things.
Stubborn - Once Isabella has made up her mind, it's nearly impossible to shake my morals and opinions even if she is wrong. She doesn't wield to the instructions of others, so best believe that she's only going to do what she thinks will be best for herself. Once she has made up my mind, there is a very slim chance that anyone will ever really persuade her into changing it. You could try. She'll consider your argument, then act on her own accord. Isa will stand her arguments or opinions no matter how many or who will try to dissuade her, this has often caused her to lose some friends and get into very chaotic arguments.
Secretive - Secrets are something that everyone has. Does this mean twisting a few truths to keep certain things hidden? Of course, but it's more of a white lie. A lot of people don't understand Isabella in the long run, but she does her best to remain as guarded as possible with who knows what about her. She isn't either someone that is going to give away what she is truly thinking or feeling or she may lie. That's half the reason why she is usually the one on the side listening, there is no need to lie when you're just listening.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Eyes: Almond shaped with her eye color being hazel.
Hair: Dark chocolate hair which reaches down below her chest, it usually has a wavy look. Style
Face: Heart shaped face, her lips are plump and full.
Clothes: St-Magsdalena's Seminary girl uniform. Jewelry

You've got a couple typos in the body or the quest you might want to check:
Under friendly whe suddenly changes names (I assume you've quested this character before with a differnt name?)
It's pork not porc. wink .
Overall her quest seems pretty interesting, though i wonder if her stubbornness isn't written more like a virtue right now than a flaw? At the moment it has a lot of traits that show how powerful she is as a person, and not the potential downside of her stubbornness. I would assume, possibly incorrectly, that she can be just as stubborn when she's wrong as when she's right, but it's not written that way.
What does she do for work to pay for her own tiny place btw? Since her folks are living with another family because they cant afford a place of their own, it seems implausible that they could afford to house her? Or is the entire family living in the tiny place?
I also assume that in her history that the fathers baby girl is not with her mother? Again, I'm guessing and I'd just like to know more.
The one thing in her history That does give me significant pause, especially in this era where people see abuse around every corner, legitimate or otherwise, it seems super, super unlikely that a man, however irresponsible, is going to get away with trying to throw an EIGHT year old out of the house without serious repercussions. Throwing out an eighteen year old is one thing, an eight year old is another animal entirely.

Oh my god thank you for the crit o.o
That was exceptionally fast O.O
Yea, she's actually a character from an old RP that I grew fond of so, just wanted to update her since she's almost a year old xD
And lol, wow French typo right there xD
I'll fix up her stubborn trait thanks ^.^
Oh they're still living with the family friend at the moment, I put 19 since it's in her future ^.^ Maybe I should take it out to avoid confusion xD Or change it up. I'll probably add her job in there somewhere, I think I may put her as a dishwasher at some restaurant.
Yes, the baby girl is from the other mother. I'll clear that up.
I didn't mean literally throwing them into the street xD A figure of speech, but that's why they moved in with the mothers grandparents. I'll clear that bit up ^.^
Again thank you for the crit biggrin

Wheeeeere does she get the money to have all those consoles and games? @_____@ Since you say she and her folks can't afford to get a place of their own, why doesn't she sell a few of those to help out? If it is because she is too stubborn to part with her stuff, that adds a whole new dimension to that flaw, as well as possibly creates another flaw, like 'selfish' or something along that line.
It's just a little something that suck out to me, considering my own family is tight on money, so sometimes I have to sell my stuff to help out....
Also, part of St.Mag's description goes; "The school is touted as a reform school for girls with behavioral problems, though it’s rumored that there are a few girls in there that have actual criminal records."
Soooooo, what's her damage? Why was she sent to a reform school?
