Name: Vanhi TalwarNickname: N/A at this time
Age: 18
Birthday: December 5
Sign: Sagitarius
Gemstone: Follows your zodiac sign.
Blood Type: A
Fav. Food: Chai, those Cinnabon cinnamon stick things...
Hated Food: Pizza, it just... really doesn't do it for her. It's all... goopy... and greasy in a not-so-tasty way. Frosting, cake is ok but frosting is just... a little too much gritty sweetness.
School: Crystal Academy
Hobbies:
-Make up: She doesn't like some of the headaches in trying to get matches in some things, but she does love playing with color. Lipsticks, nail polish, eyeshadow... she has it all, and she has a lot of it. It's fun, non permanent, and an great way to explore her sense of identity. Halloween is her favorite, a great excuse to turn herself into someone almost entirely different with careful strokes of makeup and paint, and sometimes even carefully applied sequins. She loves applying it to others as well, using others as creative canvases, and kind of thinks she might like to go into special effects someday, rather than a beauty parlor. She's not sure yet. In addition to her make up, she also likes to occasionally change her hair color, and has recently discovered the wonders of hair chalks and brush in pigments. Ooh. MORE COLOR.
Blogosphere She started out trying to write for school papers, but she discovered pretty early on that they tend to be a bit... soft core... for her taste. They don't REALLY want to hear that the sports team is doing something illegal, or that the bullied kids actually have legal recourse if they get stuffed in a trash can (Wake up Sheeple! Assault is assault! "Boys will be Boys" doesn't cut it anymore!"). Instead, she's turned to the internet, and is the queen of her own space. She doesn't yet run alternate blogs or identities, but leave it that she's done her legwork, and is reasonably clear she could lay down a false identity and false trails if she really wanted to go under the radar. As it stands though, she hasn't yet run a story that made her feel it might be necessary to hide her identity. Hasn't yet.
Virtues:
-Solid like a Rock: Like Merida's mother Eleanor, Vanhi carries herself with an air of quiet nobility and power that requires no shouting to draw attention. She almost never raises her voice, and her sense of calm can be infectious, or comforting to others, a grounding point when others around her are flying into chaos, she can be a rock to hold onto. Panicking about finals? She'll help you figure out a study plan. Zit before the big dance? Here. She has the perfect cover up, and a nice, not too harsh wash that should help. It's just a little pimple. They happen, ok? Life goes on, and the people who you should keep in your life won't care. Not that she never gets angry though... she's just... deadly quiet about it.
-Curious: What are you doing? What are you eating? What's it like? Can she try? No one can accuse Vanhi of being closed minded to new experiences, in food or almost anything else. She wants to learn everything, try everything... DO everything... Now if only she could find a way to make there be an extra eight hours so she could still sleep while doing more things... damn...
-Studious While not a trait that will endear her to everyone, Vanhi matches her curiosity with a drive to dig deeper. If there's more to the story, she wants to know about it, and if she catches hold of a secret, she'll dig to find the rest until she knows it thorough and through, not just memorizes, though she can, she just really wants to know. Ideally, she wants to be a reporter... and still believes... so far, that reporters are... or should ideally be... people who seek truth, and if they don't.. they should be denounced and shamed for their failure to serve the public.
Flaws:
-Nebby: Secrets are secrets, yours or anyone else's, and Vahni's curiosity can bring her to argument with people who aren't ready for her drive to know, or who want to keep secrets when she's figured out they have them. She doesn't want to cause problems for people, but she really really really really REALLY wants to know. Just tell her. It'll be ok. TELLLL HERRRR.
-Mooch: Vanhi loves to try things, but sometimes she kinda looses track of personal boundaries, especially with food, but sometimes also with clothing items. She comes from a large family, and there's a lot of sharing around and hand me downs, and even more communal munching, and she doesn't think much of sneaking a bite off of someone else's plate, expecting others to do the same. She's honestly and habitually confused by the idea that this bothers people. They're friends right? It's just a little food...
-Merciless: While a man might cruise through as just being 'strongly principled', Vanhi instead is more likely to be labeled 'Merciless Hell b***h'. She's firm on her stance about things that are important to her, to the point of being absolutely savage about it. Her stance on crooked reporters is a fine example of her being practically willing to savage people with her own teeth if it gets her point across. It's also unlikely to endear her to people who she may choose to disprove of, since while her disapproval is frequently silent, it doesn't mean it's not entirely clear in body language, or quiet, deadly polite words.
