Nerina Aurora Zappa !
THE DAY WE MET WAS LIKE A HIT AND RUN
and i still taste it on my tongue
and i still taste it on my tongue
nickname(s): basically whatever you can create off her first name, though it takes her a while to start reacting to them all
age: twenty
birthday: 21st March
sexuality: straight mostly, but she does have her fantasies and could be persuaded easily enough
grade: sophomore
job: concert cellist when something pops up, but no other job yet[/font][/size][/ul]
THE SKY WAS BURNING UP LIKE FIREWORKS
you made me want you oh so bad it hurts
you made me want you oh so bad it hurts
weight: 130 pounds
body type: Ner is lean sort of girl. There's little muscle on her as she does little exercise, but at the same time she just likes running around, so always burns her energy quickly. She's proportionate, nothing standing out too much from your average body type...average breasts, butt, though she does have long legs.
hair and eyes: large brown eyes / long wavy hair, almost black. she wears it mostly down without too much of hair products in it
distinguishing features: only ears pierced and a scar from having her appendix taken out a few years ago
clothing style: Nerina is the sort of person that puts on whatever they feel like at the moment they go raid their closet. She has a thing for bright colours, so there's almost always something that pops at you from her outfit, be it a piece of clothing or an accessory. Talking about accessories, the girl has a thing for handbags and jewellery of any sort, so she hardly ever leaves the house without that. She likes dressing up, but she doesn't overdo it; there's time for nightwear when she goes out, while during the day the dress style is a little more toned down. Also she has her aunt making sure she's presentable when it counts and Ner picked up a thing or two from the older woman and her experience. Then again, there's always time for simple shorts, tank top and flip flops on a sunny day, nothing fancy added.
overall appearance: Nerina is a good mix of things - her father is pure Italian, whereas her mother is a Dutch whose mother was black, so she has a few things coming together where her appearance is concerned. She's on the darker side, which makes her sort of interesting, especially if she says she's a Zappa and that makes people expect full blown Italian person. She's happy with the way she looks and while she keeps fit, she's not obsessed by any means. Ner likes having fun, so upon meeting her, she's friendly enough, nothing offputting. She attracts a bit of attention, but she certainly doesn't think she's the most stunning young woman around. She's easy to read though, whatever she thinks or feels reflects on her face, so one look your way and if you're not completely daft, you know how she feels about you. [/font][/size][/ul]

personality: Ner is not easily defined by many people's standards. She's someone that reacts easily to her surroundings. She's not too sensitive or whiny, but her mood is influenced by what is going on around her. Her mood can change quickly if something happens to make it so and she is generally a passionate person so when she feels something she's open and honest and blunt about it. She's not exactly a good liar, at least not when it comes to important things, but she's proficient at leaving out minor details and telling half truths. She doesn't like lying because for one, she always forgets what she said as a lie and secondly because she prefers people being honest with her, so she thinks being honest with others is a good start for that. As Italians are known well for, when she's happy she's very happy and when she's angry she's pretty much furious; she doesn't believe in restricting herself in any way, letting her emotions flow freely for better or worse. There are things that are deeply anchored in her persona, like love and loyalty to her family, friendship and betrayal, all reflected clearly in her behaviour towards the people in various groups at the ends of her varying emotions.
She is one stubborn woman, especially when she thinks she's right or she's after something. In those cases she's persistent and inventive and rarely takes no for an answer; she'll plead, smile, flirt, curse, in extreme cases even threaten to get her way. Though as much as she likes getting her way eventually, she likes the challenge of getting there. If someone doesn't automatically nod and do as she wants, she's intrigued and you definitely have her attention. Even when she flirts with a guy she likes a balance. She's a dominant type, but as much as most people would guess she'd be after someone more submissive, she hates that. She wants someone on the equal footing with her, whether we're talking potential love interests of friends. She's opinionated too, not thinking too much about the things she says and certainly not censoring herself around people. It's her way of weeding out the people around her. Ner's always been one to live for now. She has only very vague future plans and rarely anything longer term or too far into the future, since most of her plannings happen to go awry, so she just does instead of plans to do. Sometimes this makes her push her problems in front of her and they build up instead of her solving them right away and be done with it. She generally refuses things to dampen her mood and if it ever comes to it, she takes it out on her beloved cello and playing.
Despite growing up somewhat in the public eye, if only by extension, Neri has never been bothered by what people think of her - her looks, clothing style, choice of fun or anything else for that matter. She also doesn't just adopt anyone's belief, but thinks about it and then sort of arrives to a conclusion. Once she makes up her mind, it's difficult to make her change it, though she'll do her best to listen, nothing's guaranteed. She gets on many people's nerves with how she is and so isn't exactly the most popular person around, but she's fine with that. She has her few close friends and then a long list of people she knows and is ok with going out with to parties and such. Despite the classical music and not-so-easy attitude, she's not stuck up or stuck with a high and mighty attitude. On the contrary she can be quite accessible at times. Also the way she seems to people tends to surprise them, because for some reason they expect a prude little daddy's girl, though she's neither. She hasn't done half the things she talk about easily; talking about sex for example hasn't bothered her or made her blush since she was like fourteen - doesn't mean she had sex at fourteen though. She just believes that that sort of pleasure is as good as any other and sees no reason for people to deny themselves or label it a taboo. [/font][/size][/ul]

history: Nerina was born as a third child in this particular Zappa family on 21st March 1989, just barely managing to stick to the late eighties. For a few years she remained the youngest child of the couple and was spoiled, but then the twins were born and the family had new darlings. Except for her aunt Noemi, who adored little Ner and who was her favourite, despite liking all of her family. But Nerina had a normal childhood. Her dad worked late and mum was gone for a few days at the time, but for both a family was important so they made their time for their children. Not exactly the sort to write homework with them, but both Evelien and Mario made sure they knew their children. Part of that was giving them most of what they wanted, but always led them to knowing how to earn those things. Mario especially had the approach of a businessman - you do something well, you reap the rewards and also nothing is for free. Her parents were quite opposite from each other - her father a businessman, yet passionate like Italians are known to be and her mother the artistic sort, but much more controlled where her emotions were concerned. They always had a loud household, not always necessarily because of fights, but those happened from time to time too.
Nerina started playing cello when she was four. It wasn't because she'd be forced to take up a sport or an instrument. But she was always curious and she's heard a cello song and pestered her mother into paying for the lessons, alongside her gymnastics idea. This way she always had something to do and something to discover. Needless to say, the cello stuck for longer than the gymnastics, though with gymnastics for Ner it was just fun to try do a cartwheel and then eventually other jumps and twists and turns. It was the fun and the fact that she never pursued it in a competitive sense that made her last with it until she was about sixteen and broke her ankle one time in a bad fall. It was only three months after she's had her appendix removed after it got infection on it, so she spent quite a few time not in perfect health, wandering around with crutches. She always had some sort of bruise on her from one thing or the other. As for her cello, she always saw it as her outlet. She wasn't completely lousy and soon her parents began realising that she actually had a natural knack for the instrument. She's tried a few others, like piano and violin and few others. She can play some better than others, but none like cello. Ner even plays at various concerts, been for about 6 years now and she doesn't plan on quitting, instead enrolling at the University, partially in the music department's programme focused on cello and musical theory.
But that's getting a little ahead. Neri went to a private schools, though thankfully not all girls' schools, nor catholic ones. She threw a tantrum when her father enrolled her in a catholic primary school and refused to eat until he changed his mind. And given how stubborn she is, he just picked out a different school; one where she wouldn't be forced to pray three times a day and recite the bible by heart by the end of her first year there. Nerina has never thought she was much different from other people. She had friends, enjoyed getting into a bit of trouble. As she grew older, she liked exploring new ways of fun, but none of the very rare use of drugs and some drinking never grew into anything serious and frankly speaking she hasn't touched drugs in years. Drinking, well she has a good stomach for wine, but stronger drinks she isn't as immune to. She went through her typical little rebellious stage, trying things just for the hell of it, but never because of peer pressure - the girl never really knew the term since she disregarded other people's opinions of her. She had a few boyfriends, few cat fights, some drama and all in all, just nothing out of ordinary. Her first year at the University was fun and she's looking forward more of that this year, maybe even trying something new, though she doesn't know what that'd be yet.[/font][/size][/ul]
I'M CHECKING INTO REHAB
cause everything that we had didn't mean a thing to you
cause everything that we had didn't mean a thing to you
role-playing experience: almost 2 years
age: 22
anything else: anything at all?
RP sample:
Well getting too sitting in the Three Broomsticks in Hgosmeade wasn't exaxtly what she had planned for tonight, at least not with the person she was here with, but it was all Ciaran's fault. One moment they get along just fine and the next he starts lecturing her and being all himself and just annoying. Who did he think he was? So the night they agreed to go grab a pint originally, she walked into the common room with the intention to grab the first person and drag them out for the evening with her. I mean it couldn't be that bad going out with her no? She was nice and friendly and fun. It didn't matter much who it was, but she wanted to go out tonight and she'll find someone to go with.
The blonde was dressed up in a dress with sleeves up to her elbows, but reaching only mid-thigh. She didn't have much to show off in the chest area she thought and was never entirely comfortable with the idea anyway. Now she had long legs so she reckoned she might take advantage of that, no matter that some grumpy sorry excuse of a Scot MacCormick thought she was short. She combined it with a pair of boots reaching mid-calf, grabbed her coat and walked down the stairs to the Common Room looking for someone to grab and make go out with her tonight. Her eyes scanned around the place when they automatically reacted to the portrait opening and clicking shut and she spotted Felix. He had his jacket on so she guessed he had been outside, which was perfect because it meant that she wouldn't have to wait for him to get dressed.
Grinning to herself having settled on her target tonight, she walked towards him, grabbing him by his arm and making him turn. "Hello Felix dear, hope you're not too tired, since you're going out with me," she had said simply with a wide smile. She wouldn't have taken no for an answer tonight and he must've realised this for he went along with it and a little later they were emerging from a fireplace in the Three Broomsticks in Hogsmeade and getting a table for themselves. Lil felt nice in the warm pub, taking her coat off and putting it on the side, elbows on the table a smile still on her face.
She didn't know Felix all that well, but they've spoken a few times, both being in their second year at the University. Besides if you were a Gryffindor, you were bound to meet people from your own house in the common room and she was friendly enough to start a conversation and he didn't seem too shy the first time he came to talk to her. So she knew his name, major, and so on; the basics pretty much. This could be a nice, if a little calmer maybe, night out, but then again there was always the Bat Cave in Dufftown, only one floo trip to the Dufftown's depo away, so there were possibilities. Grinning at him, she went to speak again, having chatted enough on their way here.
"Sorry to have dragged you, but it's no fun going out alone," she said, presenting her excuse to him as they waited for someone to come and take their order. "I just didn't feel like staying in tonight and you just happened to appear in the Common Room," she told him simply. Maybe it was not a way to stroke a man's ego, telling them that picking them up was a random choice, but as flirty as she could get, she hardly was one that read into these things a lot, still being a little childish in certain aspects.
