First name: Carmen
Gender: Female
Favourite animal: Fox
Personality: People's first impression of Carmen is usually pretty much the same. A very optimistic girl with a positive outlook in every situation she finds herself in. But Carmen is far more complex than that. She is very optimistic, yes, but also very hopeful and trusting, traits that can sometimes mean a lot of trouble for her. She believes in second chances, even third if she really likes someone, but she is rather naive in her thinking, that everyone has a good side about them and that they can change. Carmen was sometimes manipulated in that aspect and used when people told her that they would change, but she became more careful, especially since she hit puberty.
Carmen is a subconscious learner. If enough things were done to her, like manipulation for example, she will subconsciously learn how to imitate them and tried to use it for her own advantage. So, one can say that Carmen has a manipulative streak, but she doesn't use it on purpose, rather with a pouty lip or sad eyes to get her out of trouble. If the manipulation itself is successful varies from person to person.
She tries to be honest as much as she can, but Carmen does resort to lying when strictly necessary, though she sometimes hates herself for doing it, even if it is just a small white lie. She is extremely thoughtful person and she does not hesitate when she sees someone needing help, even if it is with a small and seemingly unimportant thing. However, shameful as it is, Carmen does have a strong self-perservation instinct and flees anytime there is a sign of a fight, and tries to stay as inconspicious as possible. Though, if there was a strong reason for Carmen to fight, like endangered loved one or a friend, she would run into the struggle without a second thought.
Her personality is at its core, beside idealistic and optimistic, very daring and also a bit reckless. Carmen has a passion for adventures. If there is an opportunity to explore some parts of the little town she lives in, Carmen will take it without much thought, or even less, a plan, and go on an adventure.
Detailed Background Information: Carmen is living a pretty content life in her hometown. Her parents have known each other pretty much since they first set foot in school. They have been best friends, but somehow managed to make that awkward transition from friends to perhaps-something-more. And they succeeded marvelously. High school sweethearts, Cate and Aidan married before entering any college or university, as soon as they hit the legal age. Of course, tongues started waggling, but the young couple paid them no mind and in time, people could see how in love they were and the rumors of a 'scandal' quieted down. Cate pursued a career in teaching, while Aidan made a name for himself as an event manager.
Carmen was born a few years after the wedding, a very healthy baby with rosy cheeks and quite a pair of lungs. She had quite a normal childhood, with its ups and downs and had really nothing to complain about. Except school. School was always a problem for Carmen, who had slight learning disabilities while growing up. Carmen was always slow to pick up on things, but not because of some genetic problem, as doctors and her parents first thought, but because of the lack of motivation. Even now, in her teenage years, Carmen only manages to pass her subjects, finding it all to be rather dull and boring. Which sometimes raises problems between herself and her mother, since Cate is a teacher and feels like she failed her daughter in that regard or Carmen is failing her. Carmen tries not to feel guilty about it and vowed to try harder for her parents, but was failing miserably until her parents told her that unless she fixes her grades, she would have to do chores during all her free time. Carmen, not wanting to spend less time with her best friend Alice and other people she hangs with, is set on fixing her grades.
Other than usual spats between Carmen and her parents, they get along rather well and Carmen loves them to death. Lately, they have been talking about getting pregnant again. Carmen feels that if that happened, she will be pushed in the background. However, she will not tell her fears to her parents, wanting to see them happy, when her confession will just make them sad. For now, Carmen tries to get through school safely and without any complications. But hey, she's a teenager, anything can happen.
