Full Name: Adriana Lara Geordiades
Gender: Female
Age: 15
Power(s): Although some do not consider this a power, Adriana can run faster than the normal person. She was born with this power and found out she had it when she was six years old. She can run a mile in three minutes, when usually, people can run it in five or six minutes minimum. However, there are a few problems with this power, which make her not use it as much as she wished she would(see 'weaknesses' section).
Appearance: Adriana's eyes are her best feature. They are shaped as almonds and are the color of honey. She has light brown hair that reaches her shoulders, but she wants to let it grow longer. Usually, she doesn't have it tied up, but she always has a hair tie on her wrist just in case. The color of her skin is white, but she tans easily and prefers being tanned. She is 5 feet 4 inches, and weighs 115 pounds. She has strong legs, but the muscle doesn't show. She has a curvy shaped body. Adriana usually wears two bracelets, one with the ying yang symbol and another with half of a silver heart. Her best friend, who moved away when they were 10 has the other half of the heart. She walks with a straight back and acts confidently, since she has always been popular and considered beautiful by others. She has small hands with short fingers, an d she always paints her nails. Her nose has a tiny bump and is round at the tip.
She likes to wear skirts and skinny jeans. The shirts she wears usually include a band name on them or are short and show her skinny belly. Adriana wears converse with all of her outfits, no matter if it's pants or a dress. She finds that any other pairs of shoes are uncomfortable, unless they are Nike sneakers.
Personality: Adriana is nice to everyone that is nice to her. If someone she meets is really cool, her first thought is to become best friends with them. She considers herself slightly weird, because she loves making dumb jokes and laughing at them. If she doesn't know someone too well and is alone with them, she is kind of shy and starts saying things that don't make sense, but she knows how to talk to people when they are in a group. Sometimes, she can't even have proper conversations with her closest friends if it's only them in the room. What she loves most is going to concerts or parties. Her favorite bands vary from hard rock to indie.
Her hobbies include reading and painting. People always tell her that she is a great artist, and she wants to grow up to be one. Whenever she is overwhelmed with school or troubles with her friends, she paints to calm down. Running helps her calm down, too, but she doesn't like to literally run away from her problems. Usually, her problems are too much homework. When she has more than one hour of homework, she gives up and starts painting instead. It should affect her grades more than it does, but most of the time, she makes up the work and turns it in late. Another of Adriana's problems is with her friends. She sometimes gets angry for no reason and takes it out on her friends, which make them stay away from her for a few days. She hates being alone, so she tries to apologize to them every time, even thought it could "ruin" her pride. She also loves taking pictures, even though they never look "artsy" or "cool." Someday, Adriana wants to learn to take great pictures. She hates math, which is her worst subject at school. Most of her grades always end as A's, but in math, she always ends with a B or B-. Her favorite subject at school is Language Arts, where she does well. She feels pressure to be a good student because both of her parents did well at school and want her to go to a great university. Adriana has had a boyfriend, and is flirty with any boy she meets. When people ask if she means to flirt, she is always confused, since she's never really trying to. Sometimes, she even gets angry at people thinking this, because even her friends are rude to her about it. She would like to be able to control the way she talks to boys, but it isn't possible for her.
Weaknesses: Adriana has three main weaknesses. First, she gets tired very easily, which makes her running power be hard to always use. If she runs one mile in her fastest speed, she will need to rest for at least twenty minutes when she finishes. This complicates her because she can barely walk after running that fast. Another of her weaknesses is that she cannot stay still for more than ten minutes. Since she needs rest after running but can't stay still, her resting time is always longer than just twenty minutes. Also, Adriana doesn't think that her nose is pretty, which is a flaw in her appearance. She feels like its too big. That's the only flaw that she sees on her face, other than a few pimples on her forehead.
Strengths: Adriana could consider her flirting a strength, since boys are always paying attention to her if she talks to them. She could easily boss them around, or get answers out of them. Also, she is really socially smart, which is another strength. She knows how to solve her problems with friends without even trying too hard.
History & Family: Adriana was born on August fifth in Orlando, Florida. She has one sister, Janet, who is a year older than her, who she gets along with most of the time. She lives with both her parents and her sister, plus an adopted younger brother(four years old). Her mother is from Colombia and her father is from Orlando. She comes from a family with money to get by and to travel every few years to another place in the United States. Her parents never spoiled her, but she did get many clothes and presents from her grandparents and aunts. She always felt loved.
Adriana discovered her power when she was six. She was playing tag with some of her friends at school, and before she knew it, she had ran from the playground to the entrance in less than a minute. It was surprising for her, but she didn't find it too weird, since she was too young to know how fast people actually ran. When she got to elementary school, she realized that she was really fast, and started hiding her power from others. Adriana didn't want anyone to think she was weird.
When she was twelve, Adriana went through a traumatizing experience. She was on the public bus for the first time with only her sister. When they were at a red light, a man pulled the doors in the back of the bus. Adriana was sitting in the back seat with her sister, and was surprised by how the man had gotten in. The man had no weapons on and the bus driver made him get of, but all Adriana wanted to do was run out of there full speed.
In Character sample: (old post from one of my characters on another site: Athena Nakis on z7.invisionfree.com/Monsoon_Acedemy/index.php?act=idx)
Athena was running today, for some reason. To stay fit, yes, but she usually didn't run to stay fit. She was just bored that day. She jogged through her street and to the next, stopping at Gull's boulevard. She found it beautiful here. She had been here before, to visit her friends, but it never got boring or normal. She actually found the path more amazing every time. She decided to walk there, to enjoy the view. Athena lowered the volume of the music coming from her ipod. She was listening to One Direction, a pretty popular british band.
And then she tripped. Yes, she was paying attention to where she was going. No, there wasn't anything on the floor to actually trip with. But she kind of tripped over her own foot. It would've been funny, if it hadn't hurt. Her hair flew forward and covered her face. At least she had enough sense to put her hands infront of her, so she didn't hit her head. "Mrrrfff,"she muttered weird words that really weren't words as she inspected her hands. A few scratches, but nothing too bad. She dusted herself off. Yep, this was a great way to start her day.
