Player: Leslie Character Name: Branca De Lacerda Species: Human Gender: Female Age: 22 Appearance: A lot of people find her mysterious with her dark brown hair that can be very wildly decorated around her pretty face. While most women have short bobbed hair to fit under their hats she only wanted longer hair. It reaches almost two inches past her shoulders. She has big doe like eyes with orbs of a hazel brown colour. Long silky lashes make her eyes the center of attention giving most people a sensation of drowning in them. Two pools of loving stares and twinkling desire. There is something hiding behind those eyes. Curiosity. Playful menace. Her heart shaped face can hold an alluring sadness at times. Her lips are nicely coloured with a soft pink hue. Her lower lip lays fuller beneath her upper lip. She loves them in a deep red colour to make them stand out together with her shiny eyes. Her body is that of a young woman. Fully grown but yet a touch of teenage youth and in process of being developed. She has nice curves and small hips. While she stands at 5'3" she does have lovely long legs and weighs 119 pounds. She is light on her feet and has a good balance. Her frame is lean and she bends in many small places. When she moves it is with care and grace. Slow and determined. One would mistake her for being lazy but she isn't in fact. She can be very fast and quick on her feet which surprises many people. Branca dresses in clothes she finds comfortable but her family insist she wears rich clothes. Soft fabrics, expensive materials and beautiful dresses that wrap tightly around her. Mostly dresses that reach her knees and look like its made just for her. At times her hair is held back with a band decorated with pearls. Branca can also be seen wearing men's clothes when she is doing a job. She pulls her hair back in a tight knot, wears a hat, makes her face dirty or hides it with a scarf... all for the sake of not being recognised as a woman. Derangements: none... (yet?) Personality: Her behaviour seems imprinted by the ones who are around her. She adapts and finds it fun to look at people to see who they are, what they are and how they tick. Most of the time she is silent and says little. She does not like huge conversations when people only want to show off or be better than others. She tends to give in then, make them believe they are right even though she has her own ideas on what is what and what is not. Whoever is able to open her up and find out who is hiding behind the facade she presents to the world will actually see that she is a loyal young woman and will fight fir what she believes in. She is also independent and strong willed in what she wants even though she might now show that all the time. Her mind is set on working hard when she is presented with a goal and won't accept a no when she needs a yes. Her biggest frustration is getting turned down in any way the word has its meaning. While with her family she will be elegant and proper but once she is doing what she likes there is a little devil hiding in the sight of an angel. Money always had her interest and so she is not afraid to rob a bank or to rob a transport of money. Sometimes even small errands for local clubs that weren't completely legal. She has patience in getting to know the lay of the land. People who flaunt their riches and money will get on her radar and she will get to know them in order to get to know them even after she has robbed of them she stays around so not to fall under any suspicion. Up till now she has never been caught and she hopes it will stay that way. However such small time jobs grew into something bigger and if she can pull it off she will take down. It provides her a larger amount to live from and less change to get caught if you don't do it too much and are well prepared. Actually she has saved up a nice amount in the last two years in New Orleans and is looking for a new challenge and maybe a partner in crime. Haven: A huge house in a lovely rich decor with a lot of details she does not care for. Lives with her dementating aunt. Background: Born in Setúbal, Portugal in 1898, December 1 to be precise to. Her mother Alícia Feraz. Her father Carlos De Lacerda. Her parents were a couple who had always been together. From the moment they had met they seemed to know that the only one they wanted to spend their lives with was each other. So the fact that they got a baby girl made them happier than anyone could have predicted. Branca was a calm child. Both her parents were happy with her but knew money was a fleeting thing hard to control. Luckily two years later in 1900 a mine had opened up and promised a wealthy future for those who worked there. Her father was a man of honour and wanted to take care of his family properly. So he went to work for the mining company in the Lousal Mine. Branca meant white which stood for purity. Her parents tried to raise the baby girl with a passion for working and raising a family. Many attempts for more children failed and that made her mother very sad. A big family was important to her seeing as she came from a household with five more brothers and sisters. Her father always said to then give extra love and care tip the one child that did bring them happiness and warmth but somehow that was never enough for her mother. During her years of growing up she tried to help out as much as she could but the fact she was the only child that her mother had been able to conceive was more a pressure on her than a relief. In the end she was a reminder of failure and not one of success. That made it hard on Branca to care for her mother. A distance got created between them by the time she was sixteen. Branca wanted more than this. More than playing house but the ages were not ready for a rebellious teenager and her parents even less. Her father worked day in and night. Her mother went out to clean the houses of richer high society people. Everything to get a bit more money so they could easily live their life. The mine if her father was a pyrite mine. It was also nicknamed "fool's gold". A name she would soon learn to hate and understand. One day there was an accident. One of the tunnels collapsed and her father was still inside. He didn't survive. Her mother was unable to live with the thought that the man who she loved so deeply was never coming back to her. A depression struck her and Branca was left taking care of everything by herself. Branca learned quickly how to find easy ways for money. It all started with stealing small things. The thrill she got from it was heavenly and she liked to do this. If others threw it around than surely they wouldn't mind her taking a bit so she could make a better life for herself and her mother even if that mother didn't know what day it was anymore. One day after a succesful job she found her mother at home in the tub with sliced wrists. It didn't surprise it nor did it really do much to her. It was sad but her mother had always been someone who was there and nothing more. Her father was the only one she had ever cared for and who had ever cared for her. Now as orphan the family on her mother's side didn't want her around and there was only a rich aunt in New Orleans who was her father's sister. Leaving her birth land had been hard at first but then she realised that she could gain so much from this adventure. The family didn't have the money at first and so she moved from one family to another. They gave up on her every time she proved to be a handful. New Orleans. What was so good there? What was she supposed to do there? She was 20 when they decided to send the trouble child over. Constantly she was expected to rehearse her etiquette. First she had been convinced she could be free here and explore her own tricks and abilities to find money. After all it was said America was a wealthy country but all she received were lessons. Constant reminders of how a proper lady should behave. Walk straight. Head up. Shoulders back. No looking at the ground! Sit with your legs together, keep those knees against each other. It drove her all mad. They all hated it when she could bend her fingers over in both directions. It was fun to freak her aunt out like that but she was punished for it a lot as well. She wasn't allowed to go anywhere and found herself stuck in this so called "new world". The dreams that the country promised weren't to be found where Branca was. She started to sneak out and that was much easier now that her aunt started to dementate. Nurses lived at the house and since a few months not much attention was given to Branca anymore. Now she stalks the days and the nights in her search for some fun and thrills. She wants to feel alive. She is a young woman with a wildly beating heart. There had to be someone out there with the same mentality or who could tame her at least a bit. Notes: English - Portuguese Character sheet: http://sheetgen.dalines.net/sheet/40110 |
