Armani is around 5’6 and has a curvaceous body type, leaning more towards a pear shape than an hourglass. Her skin is a medium tan. She has dark brown eyes and curly black hair which is usually pulled back into a ponytail. Her clothing is very casual, comfort > style. (think hoodies, leggings, converse, t-shirts). Notable features: Amy Winehouse esque eyeliner, hooped earrings and long claw like nails and a black / grey sleeve of tattoes. Her sygal is usually seen on her hoodies.

PERSONALITY

Motherly- Armani will love you, she will love you so damn much you might just suffocate. She is strict because she worries, she disciplines harshly because she cared and she gets angry because she knows what you are capable of. She will confront your bullies, she will help you fight your demons and will do all she can to protect the people she cares about. Though she is not a mother herself, she considers her younger siblings her children and now they have all flown the nest she projects her motherly nature on the patrons of her motel.
Entrepreneurial- Armani is good at making money. A fact that stems from the fact she did not have any as a kid. To her every penny is precious and should be invested instead of wasted. She bought the motel with the money her Grandmother left her for cheap and spent two years fixing it up, she learned how to plaster walls, how to fix wiring and even decorate to get the place in working order. It was a labour of love, a result of her blood, sweat and tears. Now it turns a comfortable profit and has been able to send two of her brothers to college from the proceeds. When life is s**t, you work damn hard to find yourself in a better situation, and Armani works hard.
Good sense of humor- Armani works hard and parties hard, despite her frugal nature she values experiences more than cash. Though she is no club bunny she does know how to have a good time. Wanna drink a bottle of wine whilst watching black and white movies? Want to ride on the back of her bike as she drives really, really fast? Want to go camping and tell really bad ghost stories? Armani knows how to party on a budget and is very comfortable in her own skin. She does not need to feel pretty to have a good time, she does not need attention to have a good time. All she needs is good company and a good vibe. Life is precious and people are the the most important thing in one's life. Live and laugh and you are the wealthiest wo/man on Earth.
Hot headed- Armani is so full of sass. Her brothers soon grew taller and stronger than her, though they all still shrink into a corner when she starts running her mouth. Armani knows she is the freaking bees-knees and will not shy away from confrontation. Confident, loud and sarcastic; Armani is a hard pill to swallow for some, but if you do not like it you know where the door is.
Argumentative- Seriously though, this girl will chew you out.
Permanently stressed out- If Armani is not burning herself out, then she does not feel like she is working hard enough. She has gotten used to being so stressed that if she ever lets the levels reduce she feels like she is not pulling her weight, so when she does have some free time she spends it working rather than relaxing. This makes her rather moody and more confrontational than she would be is she actually took a moment to smell the flowers. She does this until she gets ill and then gets her a** handed to her by her Momma who comes over to take care of things when she has spread herself too thin. And if you think Armani is a monster, wait till you meet Momma D’Cruz |: even she does not sass that old lady.

*** Note: When hero training begins, her mother will take over management of the hotel, telling her daughter to ‘take some time to herself and relax’ by this she did not mean becoming some kind of amazon warrior, k. Armani why u do dis? | :

DEITY
Which deity blessed your character and marked them for recruitment? Hera.
What makes them fit within the sphere of this particular god? Armani loves children and is like a lioness when it comes to protecting her five younger siblings, sure they are all grown up and having babies of their own now - but they are her babies, k.

Armani D'Cruz: 728 word count.

She knew this day would come, but she did not think it would come so soon.

The Cruz boys had a reputation around town for being trouble makers; mainly due to the social circles they eldest three ran with in their youth. They were petty criminals and they caused Armani great deal of heartache growing up, however when the eldest Tyson was sent to prison; Isaiah and Jerome straightened out. They youngest of the boys, Aiden, was very different in his nature but looked enough like a Cruz boy to be stuck with the stigma. They were large, well built and handsome, it was hard for them to go unnoticed.

Aiden had always been Armani’s baby boy and though she was not meant to have favourites, he had always been special. He was nineteen and was ambitious, Aiden aspired to be a mechanic and was attending college to do just that. He said he was going to have his own shop one day and Armani never doubted it, she believed in him so much she was paying his tuition. God, she never expected he would be the one to get some girl pregnant.

Armani did not know how to take the news; she was as horrified as she was excited. She had never met this girl, she did not have a job, he did not have a job and they were both so young. She just stared at him after he told her, asked her if she would go with him to tell their mother. They were keeping it then, she realised, knowing Aiden would not tell their mother if they weren’t. Rosa D’Cruz was a scary woman, she had to be to control her boys and Aiden would not tell her if they were going to terminate.

Isaiah had children, but Isaiah was married, Isaiah was in the army and had home. What did Aiden have? Well, he had his big sister. He had left and Armani diverted from her routine to digest the news. She swirled the liquor in her glass and just stared into space; the local Dive smelt of stale cider and cigarettes and was her go to place when she wanted some peace. Aiden was going to be a daddy, Aiden was still a kid himself.

She ran her manicured nails through her thick hair and shook her head. Worrying was not going to change anything, she told herself, knowing the best thing to do now was to just be there for him. Help him however she could; I mean if she was scared then how must he feel? Downing the last of her drink she stood up from her stool and left some notes on the bar. The tanned woman made her way outside and let the cold night air fill her lungs.

Everything was going to be okay; better than okay. She was going to be an auntie again.

That was her thought as she stepped out into the night to begin the short journey back to the motel. The road home was quiet and dark due to the lack of lampposts and in places it seemed more like a dirt trail; but that is what you got when you lived in the middle of nowhere. Before long the light from her establishment illuminated her face and she started to rummage through her purse to find her keys.

She was not looking at the door as she approached the reception and when the glass panel smacked her in the face she could not help but feel like she deserved it. It hit her just right and all of a sudden small pecks filled her vision.

Armani fell backwards and hit the ground, the stars above suddenly filling her vision. She did not know if it was the blow to the head or the alcohol that made her hallucinate, but she could have swore she heard someone speak to her; maybe it was the person who had opened the door?

Armani, I am Hera and I have chosen you. Your story is just beginning, please accept my blessing-

It was all she heard before her vision went blank, not realising she had just set the wheels of destiny in motion. Not knowing what challenge she had just accepted. That was when she heard another voice, a more familiar voice, shaking her awake.
