♕ FED TO THE RULES AND I HIT THE GROUND RUNNING ♕
Likes:
♥Romance; She finds it quite interesting – beautiful would probably be a better word, and she’s always drawn to it. But it’s in her blood, after all. Carmen is from Spain, one of the ‘romance’ countries.
♥Cooking; She loves to make food for everyone. It’s something fun to do and she finds it very enjoyable.
♥Food in General; Particularly churros. She likes eating. She eats rather heartily too – it’s always entertaining to watch her eat a meal for some reason or another (she’s been told this multiple times).
♥Spanish; It’s technically her first language, but she learned Spanish and English about the same time. She likes the way it sounds, much more so than English, and often shows her affection for others in Spanish.
♥Fashion; While she’s not obsessed with it, Carmen likes to look stylish enough so it’s “acceptable in public”. After all, who doesn’t care about their appearance?
♥Music; She likes to play her guitar and sing whenever she can. She especially enjoys playing for other people. It’s a fun pastime for her.
♥Happiness; Seeing the people she loves and people in general being happy is what pleases her the most. Carmen believes that everyone deserves to be happy, no matter whom they may be.
♥Doing People Favors; She’ll help anyone in any way she can – whether the help is wanted or not.
♥Giving Compliments; Carmen is an expert at praising people and using her words to tell them exactly what they want to here. But even if they don’t seem to be, whatever she says is always true in the end.
♥Gossip; She enjoys hearing the newest things from people, and especially likes it when people come to her to talk about things. However, if it’s personal, you won’t hear a peep from Carmen when interrogated.
♥Dancing; Especially the tango. Even though it’s quite a complicated dance and it took much of her childhood to learn it, she simply adores it and loves finding dance partners.
Dislikes:
♠Bad Influences; Carmen refuses to be corrupted by anyone. She can often tell when other people are trying to influence her negatively and won’t stand for it. But instead of avoiding them, she may try to take matters into her own hands and attempt to reform the person themselves. Especially if it’s a close friend.
♠Nagging People; It may seem ironic, but she loathes nagging people. She knows she does it all the time, and it makes it even worse. She wishes to be able to stop, but she’s truly only concerned for their own safety and well-being.
♠People Who Piss Her Off; Blunt, but entirely true. If you’ve somehow managed to get yourself on Carmen’s bad side, you know you’re in trouble.
♠Paper Flowers; Once upon a time, Carmen was forced to make a thousand carnations made out of colored paper within a time period of twenty four hours. Ever since that fateful day, she has hated paper flowers in general because it brings back bad memories of the time.
♠Battleship; She hates the game for unknown reasons.
♠Liars; Carmen cannot stand liars. If you lie to her, well… To be honestly blunt, shit will hit the fan.
♠Contradiction; She highly dislikes any contradiction at all. She likes to be able to just go forward with something and not be divided about it. However, this also means she dislikes her own way of doing things and the way she is because she tends to change a lot herself.
♠Pessimism; She doesn’t like people who put themselves down or are negative. One starts by being able to do good for themselves before doing good for anyone else.
Quirks:
♣Tends to accidentally punch people in the crotches; It’s not on purpose, really! (Well, unless you piss her off.) Unfortunately, Carmen has a terrible past of somehow injuring men’s crotches. In some way. Just be careful around her, and you should be fine!
♣No loose ends; Communication is important – especially in relationships. Carmen sometimes has a hard time understanding other people and what they’re trying to say if they don’t express them fully. She also can’t suddenly break something off – everything has to be tied up as nicely as possible.
♣ “Boss”; It doesn’t matter where she is or even what position she is, she likes being called “Boss”. She’s liked it ever since she was younger, strangely, but it gives her a confidence boost.
Fears:
♦Loneliness; She often requires somebody to keep her company. She’s a people person, and needs some sort of other presence around her. Even being stuck with someone she absolutely hates would be better than being alone.
♦Abandonment; If there’s one thing Carmen wouldn’t be able to take, it would be abandonment. She does her best to help everyone she can, and to help them to be happy, but she doesn’t want to be left behind. She fears one day that her cherished one will find their special person and she’ll be left alone forever.
♦Failing; Sometimes, people’s lives depend on choices. Carmen is afraid of making the wrong choice at the wrong time. It’s entirely possible – and she hopes nothing will ever come to that, but it very well could.
Personality:
♕Passionate; Carmen is the most passionate person you will ever meet. Just by listening to her way of speaking you can what is important to her, and just how strongly she feels about a particular subject. She means what she says, and she says what she means. She either loves it or doesn’t love it – there is no in between.
♕Amorous; She may be one of the best lovers you will ever meet – most definitely the most passionate. Carmen does not often have one-night stands and prefers a steady relationship overall, but she is quite loving in general. At first, some people take her platonic affections in the wrong way, but they soon realize that’s just who Carmen is.
♕Cheerful; Never has a day gone by when Carmen was not cheerful. She refuses to shown any other emotion and it’s rare to see her frowning or displaying anything else besides happiness.
♕Optimistic; She always looks on the bright side of life. She radiates positive energy. Even if it seems like the smallest flare of hope, she will begin to thrive on it.
♕Motherly; If you are even an acquaintance with Carmen, she is going to be your new mother and she is going to nag you. She often reprimands people, as she has a rather strong sense of justice, but she won’t push it to any extremities. She just wants the best for everyone, and wants them to be happy.
♕Once a Friend, Always a Friend; Even if you’ve just met Carmen, you won’t stay an acquaintance for very long. She will make you your friend, no matter what you say, and take you under her wing. That’s just the way she is. But beware of getting her on her bad side – you’ll regret it.
♕Grudges; Just like if you become a friend with Carmen, if you piss her off in any way or do anything that insults her, she will hold a grudge. You better watch out – she’ll most likely do anything to make your life miserable.
♕Physical; She’s always been one to show physical affection whether it be hugs, kisses or anything in between. She also typically expects you to return it.
♕Ambitious; Carmen might be willing to sacrifice anything to accomplish her goals. She won’t stop until her mission is completed and will be furious if anything gets in the way of her succession.
♕Competitive; Challenge her to a competition and you’re on! She’ll do her very best to win.
♕Strong Morals; Overall, Carmen will do what she believes is right, even if there will be dire consequences for her. If it goes against her beliefs in any way, she will refuse to do whatever it is and seek out another solution to the problem.
♕Promises; If she makes a promise, she will keep it. If she makes a vow, she will keep it. If she makes an oath, she will keep it. No matter what, in the end, if she has promised something, then she’ll go to hell making sure she stays true to her word.
♕The Inability to Multitask; Probably Carmen’s fatal flaw. When she attempts to do several things at once, she ends up becoming distracted and subconsciously focusing on the most easy thing that’s able to be done out of the tasks she’s trying to accomplish.
♕Terrible Drunk; No matter what you do, do not let Carmen get completely inebriated. Being tipsy is perfectly fine, but to allow her to be completely intoxicated is letting an angry bear roam free in the streets to destroy whatever it pleases. She is considered to be a violent and angry drunk, but she never remembers when she wakes up the next day, hung over.♕ DIDN'T MAKE SENSE NOT TO LIVE FOR FUN ♕Roleplay Sample:The door of the café jingled merrily as it was opened, letting Carmen know she had yet another customer on the premises to tend to. It was a rather early morning, and there were only a few people occupying the tables. Another day serving warm food to the people of London. It might sound like Carmen was complaining, but she’s not. She absolutely loved her job, and wouldn’t trade it for anything else.
(Well, she did have another occupation, anyways.)
She was currently serving a lone man his tea, and after she gave it to him and wished him a good day, she made her way over to the previously empty table the new man had taken. His brown hair was very wet, and she tsked at the fact that he was lacking a jacket and an umbrella.
”You’re going to catch a cold if you continue on like this, señor,” she greeted him playfully with a smile, her notebook and pencil in hand. A hint of a motherly tone easily leaked into her words, but it was usually present anyways.”Going by the fact that you’re completely soaked, I’m guessing you’re new to England.”
It was a reasonable assumption to make; nearly everyone knew that it frequently rained and typically had the same weather patterns. Carmen enjoyed rain, usually, and having lived in London as long as she has, she’s grown used to it. She rather liked the scent of outdoors throughout the period of rainfall and following it. What was the word… Pet… Petrichor or something like that. The English language had too many words for the her liking; she preferred Spanish. It sounded much more beautiful and she loved the way the words rolled off of her tongue.
”So, what can I get for you, señor~? Coffee, tea?” Coffee and tea were usually the typical orders for these types of drinks, but there was the occasional hot chocolate as well. People varied in their tastes, which isn’t surprising, and she’s found that the majority of the native population preferred tea, while foreigners or immigrants usually prefer coffee. It was rather interesting. The little things one person could learn from the simplest moments of life could prove to be invaluable on rare occasions. Especially when you were an information broker for either the government, the lawless, or some poor chump on the street dying to know something with just the right amount of money.
Carmen was fair, though; she had never once in her life made an unfair deal for the other party. She was really just a simple woman, an information broker, and café owner. It was quite the life.♕ YOUR BRAIN GETS SMART BUT YOUR HEAD GETS DUMB ♕Name/Nickname: Mona
