And while we're on a role, how about your age?
*a tall female with a young face glances up from a cup
of tea, smiling slightly* *she nods her head as if to
say hello* My name is Gloria Alejandra Basilio. People
tend to be lazy, so I get called Glory more often than
Gloria. *smirks a bit* I don�t mind it. I mean, Gloria
does mean glory, after all... *shrugs* As for my age,
I�m sixteen years old. *holds the tea cup to her
mouth*
2. Tell us a little more about yourself. What's your
personality like? Any bad habits? Any passions or
ambitions? Any hobbies? What are your likes and
dislikes?
*smiles a bit, setting her tea down on the table*
Well, I�m not one to boast about myself or anything,
but... *shrugs a bit* I�m a nice person overall. At
least, I try to be... *smiles* I don�t really care for
confrontation or arguments. *shakes her head* Most of
the time, I just keep to myself. That�s the best way
to ensure no problems, yeah? *smiles some* Anyway... I
suppose I do have some bad habits. Only, I don�t
really know what they are... *laughs a bit* People
don�t really tell me these things, y�know? *shrugs*
Passions... well... *wets her lips* I wouldn�t mind
being a mother some day. *smiles a bit, shrugging*
I�ve always loved children. I guess it�s because I
grew up with so many brothers and sisters, and lots of
cousins. I�m good with kids, and I love to be around
them. *smiles* I don�t really have any specific
hobbies. *shrugs* I love to dance. *smiles* I�ve been
an avid Flamenco dancer since I was just a young girl.
*laughs* I�m prone to breaking out into dance if I�m
bored. *thinks a moment* I like to sing. It sort of
goes along with Flamenco. Y�know, the three parts of
the Flamenco; Cante, baile y guitarra; The song, the
dance, the guitar playing. Only, I don�t know how to
play the guitar. *shrugs* My father always wanted to
teach me, but he never got around to it. *pauses a
moment, wetting her lips* As for likes, I like a lot
of things. *nods* I like to dance, and to sing... I
like to eat. *laughs* I�m a big eater. And I like
children. *shrugs a bit* Dislikes, that lists a bit
smaller. I don�t care for rude people. *shrugs*
3. Now it's not like we're blind or anything, but how
would you describe your outward appearance?
*smiles a bit, blushing at the thought of describing
herself* Oh, well... *shrugs* I�m a bit tall. About
5'8, 5'9... I have dark eyes. They�re very dark; they
almost look black. *nods* My hair is dark brown, with
some lighter shades scattered about. *smirks a bit* I
have a slightly skinny build. *shrugs* Father always
said I was some kind of medical miracle; I could eat
and eat and eat and never gain a pound. *laughs*
Hmm... As for clothes, I always wear skirts. *nods* I
find it best for ladies to wear skirts in the presence
of men. *wets her lips* My hair is usually down, but
I�ll sometimes put it up if I get too hot. *shrugs*
Sometimes I�ll even put on a cap. *smiles a bit,
shrugging* Is that enough?
4. Not to pry into your business, but could you
possibly tell us a little about your past?
*nods some, wetting her lips* I don�t mind telling you
about it. *clears her throat before starting* I was
born in Barcelona. My father was a handsome, respected
Spanish man. He was a free spirit, traveling all over
Spain and France. My mother was a beautiful French
woman, an artist and a model, living in Toulouse.
*smiles* They met there, in Toulouse. They fell in
love instantly. *sighs a bit* Anyway, they moved back
to Barcelona and became wed... A few years later, my
first brother Lucio was born. *smiles some, nodding*
After Natalia, Julian, Gabriel, Miguel, Ramon and
Sabina were born, it was my turn. *laughs a bit* Two
more were born after me; the twins, Susana and Vasco.
See, I told you I had a lot of siblings... *smiles*
Anyway, I loved growing up with a houseful of
siblings. There was always someone to talk to, some to
be with, and it was sure as Hell never boring.
*smiles* Anyway... Mother died while giving birth to
my last sister, Zara, who died along with her.
*frowns, running her finger over the brim of her
teacup* Father became a mess. He couldn�t deal with
having to raise ten children all on his own, even with
the help of the two eldest ones, who were nineteen and
twenty at the time. *bites her lip, pausing* He became
distant... Spending more and more time away on
�business�. Eventually, there came a time when he
never returned. *sighs* Lucio and Natalia were put in
place of raising us, and they did a good job... the
best they could. *nods* There was a fire... *closes
her eyes a moment, sighing* At our home, in Barcelona.
Lucio, Gabriel, Vasco and I were in town when it
happened. It... It took the lives of the rest of our
siblings. *bites her lip, obviously holding back
tears* *clears her throat, regaining her composure*
The four of us had nowhere to go. Lucio, who was
twenty four then, decided we might as well move
overseas. So we did... We ended up here in New York.
*nods* Lucio, Gabriel and Vasco went off to find jobs
while I tended to out tenement home. *sighs* We were
in a rather rough place. We could never make our rent,
and we barely had enough money to afford food and
clothing. So I decided to move out. *nods* I miss my
brother�s dearly, but it was just too much for them.
They�re better off now. *nods* I still get to see them
now and then... They live across the bridge, in
Manhattan. *nods* Once we start making a decent profit
for ourselves, I�m going to move back with them.
5. Do you have any living family members? If so, do
they reside in New York?
*wets her lips, nodding* Yes... My brothers, Lucio,
Gabriel and Vasco live in Manhattan.
6. How about relationships? *Grins* Got a sweetheart
or anything? Tell us a little bit about your
significant other, or the one you admire from afar.
*Wink*
*shakes her head, smiling some* No... No, I don�t have
anyone I�m sweet on. *blushes slightly*
7. Why did you decide to join our Second Heaven
Community?
*shrugs* I already told you, yeah? *smiles some* It
was too hard for my brothers to pay rent with me not
working. So I found myself a new place. *nods* *sips
her tea*
