//P E R S O N A L I T Y:// Prideful. Snarky. Cold. Judgmental. Hard Worker. Easily Provoked. Irritable.


It took quite a while for her to even be able to gain a prideful appreciation for herself after the neglect of her mother. But after the separation of emotional abuse being around her father she was able to recover the damage that was lost in herself and steadily moved towards a strong and healthy self image. Although now it's a bit too strong.


When it comes to social interactions or interacting with other people her standoffish nature takes into place although it's not really meant to it's more of a defense mechanism, often times she may not know what to say or might not even care which makes socializing that more of a chore. Those that can get close enough to her to gain her trust and vise versa can earn a friend for life or those who get on her bad side will potentially burn a bridge. She's a type of a person to be either be loved or hated and anything in between. Her cruelty in words comes as a harsh reality to the pain that she's endured of a “tough love” atmosphere which gives light to her snarky tone. But in her very unique ways she shows affection to those she cares about they just have to be taken into account. She's “sweet” on people that she fancies and can become harsh on people that she both likes and dislikes as it is unbiased.


It's not that she doesn't like people, it's more that she doesn't like the feeling of abandonment so would rather not have those people in her life if they aren't going to be lifelong rather then to go away on a whim. She would rather cut the cord before it even starts. She's pretty judgmental and believes to be right most of the time leaving little room for debate. She handles pressure extremely well yet she doesn't feel the same about unwanted critique. This goes for food critiquing as well as personal in any merit she might feel inclined to hear it if you were perhaps a really close friend or perhaps a boss but other then that not really.


She can be easily provoked, albeit it's for a challenge on proving who can make the best dish, the best chef or pretty much anything else. You can tell she's a type of person that doesn't like to lose, losing isn't really an option in her book and should she ever do, she won't ever count it and will always count her wins.


//H I S T O R Y ://


This one didn't really go though an extensive amount of hardships but some in particular shaped her into becoming who she is today. Her parents met while her mother was on a trip to spain, after liking the view and many other things she made it a habit to return for vacations, when she could and the like.


Her father proposed to her mother when their daughter was born in his home city and they moved again to a decent location where she was able to commute from work to home. Although she took her job far more serious then her homelife she began to neglect those around her including her young daughter and her husband. Often to the point when there father would go to work the “neediness” of a child was not amusing to her at all and would send her into isolation. she would always dismiss it as being her fault for being nosy. After a few late promises of not doing it again, there was a time when after a while there was going to be no change.


So, after months of finally getting the papers ready for the divorce and custody her father won and became a single parent. Although her mom could visit she rarely did, While she was growing up her father always showed her how to cook and would even help him with picking out ingredients, she loved it and basically she fell for the love of cooking. It was something that you could control, and create from basically nothing. This sparked a shelter and comfort away from the coldness that she often felt and began to grow naturally in it's world.


When she got older, her father worked a lot of overtime to be able to send her to culinary school and she herself kept up her grades in order to win scholarships in order to go because even that wasn't enough. When she earned her goal amount and her father added in what he could, she was off to culinary school where she of course strived to be the best of best. Because if you are going to do something you better be the best damned at it. After graduating she worked for a few restaurants and gaining status where she worked while also working to pay her father back for everything that he has done for her.

Now, she works as a fish chef at Papaver Rhoeas. As suggested by her father, who believes that she can prove her skills much more there, then the places she was working at. He likes the repetition they have and felt that she would be a great addition, so during a father-daughter outing at Papaver Rhoeas, He slyly proposed the idea. Being intrigued by the restaurant itself, obliged.

Taking her work a little to seriously, she doesn't like to see people butchering any type of meat and of course fish is a no go.

She sends her father gifts and money every paycheck, just because.

// A D D I T I O N A L I N FO://

= 100% Certain, she dislikes anyone talking to her about her mother. She basically x'd her out of her life and isn't going back. (Until perhaps she attempted to reconnect but that hasn't even showed signs of happening yet)


= Speaks with a Catalan accent.


= Can speak in French, Creole, Catalan and English.


= Has a very short span for any type of drama or overt aggression which she will front with her own.


= Rarely backs down from a challenge


= Can also overwork oneself even when not feeling well, she doesn't like the vulnerability but of course if it was anything contagious she would indeed stay home under..heavy fire.


= Even if she's struggling to get something on the top shelf do not get it for her, she'll be peeved.


= Has a Rottweiler named Bistro and a Black cat that she saved named Tapenade


= Adores the colour Purple


= When she was younger she thought normal hairstyles was not standout ish enough and if she wanted to make a mark she had to be unique to be remembered so wanted to try something different, but she didn't know what. Until she saw a devil on a cartoon show and wanted to have devil horns just like the villain. She's kept the style ever since, her hair is cut that way, with added hairgel for extra sharp point.

= She has three tattoos, A bar code on the back of her neck, Wolf prints on her stomach, and a black star partnered with Nicolas. hemadehergetit

= Loves beautiful tattoos on the human body. loves them more on nicolas but he'll find that out later


= Yes, she ties her hair up when she cooks.


//R E L A T I O N S: //


Nicolas Sotirios: Hate-Love basically sums up this relationship. She met him when she went to culinary school and couldn't stand the way he massacred fish with his butterfingers and lacked the meaning of finesse. Because she excelled in her class they asked her to help him in fileting and some other things. He's been a thorn in her side ever sense and even now he's working at the same restaurant as her so it must be a trick. She does have a soft spot for him though. At the moment though he's currently one of the strongest relationships she's had. She doesn't really understand why but it is what it is. Confused by this, she's unsure of the process but she clearly likes him in her own way otherwise she would have ignored him. Acknowledging nicolas, means she has accepted the way he is in some form.
