Image
Height: 5'6
Nationality: She is Italian  and Latino 
Appearance: 
Belinda has creamy tanned skin. That is blemish and scar free. She is a average height girl with a good weight. Belinda does have some curves to her body. She has a nice sized chest, not ample, but still very nice around a C cup. She works out regularly to maintain her weight. She has a small waist that contrast to her wider hips. Her stomach, legs and arms are toned though her thighs are a bit too thick for her taste. She has long brown hair with black highlights. Her hair is very thick, which she finds tedious. It naturally is wavy, though in some spots is naturally curly. Giving her a mixed texture. When her hair is wet it becomes big curly waves. She has dark thick eyebrows that she has shaped regularly Her eyes are her favorite feature they are green on the edges but are a bright green color with flecks of gold in them. She usually does a smoky eye look to draw attention to them, though they are striking with or without makeup. They are covered by thin but long dark lashes she also has naturally long bottom lashes, she is often asked if they are real. She has a beauty mark above her lips, which are full and rounded. She has high cheekbones and a pointed chin as well. 

Clothing Style: 
Belinda has a very specific style she calls it good girl gone bad glam. She wears alot of skirts (hence the good girl), but wears them with cropped tops (bad girl) and Sky high heels (Glam). She loves flowers and things that could be seen as hippy but she's not a hippy over all. She is a self pronounces diva. You hardly will ever see her makeup free (Though she doesn't cake it on she only enhances her natural beauty), without a french manicure, and with her hair done, unless she's working out.

Fears
Becoming her mother: 
"My mother hasn't worked for a damned thing. Everything she has is from some rich guy, or celebrity she's dating, or a sugar daddy. She has more ex fiancees and husbands than liz taylor, Marilyn monroe, and half of hollywood combined, ok that's exaggerating, but still. Especially the guy she's with now, Patrick.  She let's him run her life and she put him before my safety. Me her daughter! I think she's pathetic. She was a terrible mother, I feel no pity for her. 

Failing:
"It's not an option for me. I put all my efforts into this. Acting is my life. It's my passion. I have wanted to do this since i was a kid. Don't get me wrong I have a back up plan. But I can't lose. I will not lose. "

Intimacy:
"Not physical, that's not a problem, its the mental. I'm not good at letting people in. I used to go to therapy all the time. But other than that no, I don't share. I'm not an over sharer."

Dreams
To become a Movie star:
"I know how cliche but that's all I want, I want to be on the big screen. I wanna be the next Marilyn Monroe or Angelina Jolie. Either way I wanna be a movie star sex symbol"

To be self sufficient:
"I don't want to rely on anyone for anything. I want to need myself, and only myself."

To find someone to love her:
"I've never really seen real true love. I've seen the fake stuff my whole life but no real true, unadultured love . The kinda love that you let them see all your scars and flaws. "
Talents
Knowing people's secrets:
Not going to say she's the Regina George of the school but she's definitely Gretchen. She knows everyone's secrets. Mainly because she's trustworthy, a bitch, but she's trustworthy. She's like Naomi from 90210. She's a bitch but she's everyone's favorite bitch.

Getting into character:
As previously mentioned, she engulfs herself in character. She eat, sleeps, and breaths that character whenever she gets a part. Whether it's big or small. 

Modeling:
At a certain time her mother was married to a famous designer. He was designing a teen line when she was in high school and he had her model for him. She got to walk runways and everything. She even did editorials in magazines for the line. 

Speaking Spanish: 
It may not make since since her dad wasn't around much. But as a child she was part of her fathers latin culture. It is her second language. 
Hobbies
Woking out: She works out rigorously. She goes to the gym at least three times a week
Running: She runs every morning . She loves to run. She loves feeling the wind rush past her. It's calming
Yoga: She's actually very flexible. Probably since she's been doing yoga since mommy and me as a child. Well in her case Nanny and me. She did it with her mom once.
Interior designing: Which is very obvious by her dorm. She loves interior designing she designed her floor of her house 
Playing the Guitar: Her Father was a latino pop star (See history) It does make sense. She plays it Spanish guitar style


Secrets
She got pregnant her junior year but... WIP

Personality:
Belinda can come off many different ways depending on how much she trusts and likes you. Her friends would describe he as passionate, honest, sweet, and loyal, yet guarded. People who don't know her might say she's distant, intimidating, Moody or a bitch. She always says things like "I know I'm a bitch" but the truth is she's not she just puts up a facade for protection. In reality she honestly just wants someone to protect he. She wants someone stable she can depend on, which she never had growing up. 

Belinda is very passionate. Maybe it's because she's latin and italian but she is definitely passionate. This makes her a better actress as well. Yes she is dramatic, and she can be a prima donna, but that's just part of who she is. She can have a little bit of a fiery temper but you would never know because when she's upset he voice becomes level, which is even more terrifying. 

Belinda is... a socialite. Yes she was raised in the limelight. Being what some might call a tabloid baby (she was born into money and fame ) she knows how to schmooze and work a room. She also can be quite the party girl. When she wants she is also quite the flirt as well. Really Belinda is just full of surprises.

History
To understand Belinda you have to understand where she came from. Her mom was a girl from a proud Italian family. Her dad was a butcher, her mom was a teacher. She didn't come from much. She met Belinda's father while trying to sneak into a concert, she got caught and begged the guy to let he in. Turns out the guy was Antonio Valentino, himself. And the rest was history. They had Belinda maybe two months after that and got married two months after Belinda was born. Turns out marrying a pop  star you've only known for four months isn't a good idea cuz' they got divorced two years after that and Belinda went to live with her mom. Her mom being the Jersey meatball she was, was living it up. Which was fine because her mom always had someone to take care of her. First it was that Actor, then that fashion designer, that banker, that wall street broker, the hotel tycoon, The magazine editor, That guy from Punk'd, the list goes on. She's been married in total 5 times and has seven ex-fiancees. 

Each time she dragged Belinda along. Sometimes before she broke it off with the guy she'd go MIA for months leaving Belinda with the guy. Her longest relationship, which she's still in, was the one that finally made Belinda snap and leave. Her mom is currently married to a guy names Louis, Louis is one of the leaders of the italian Mafia. When Belinda was thirteen she was visiting her mom while on break. Her mom didn't tell her about Louis temper. And when she yelled at Louis, when he disrespected her mom, Louis slapped her in the face. Instead of her mom comforting her, her mom yelled "See? Why the hell did you do that? You made him angrier. Ya' happy now? " Then chased after Louis like a lost puppy. 

Belinda wasn't the same after that. She came back from he boarding school that summer and told her dad what happened and he became her legal guardian. But Belinda wasn't sweet, worried Belinda anymore.
Place of Origin: Where are they from?

Melrose Academy Move-In Day


It was move-in day!

It was late August, the warm California sun beating down on poor, defenseless people as they made their way through their different lives, each going on different paths. Some crossed such paths; others, went on by without even acknowledging each other. But it was lively on Melrose Academy campus as the students filed in by groups. Squeals and yells of excitements could be heard a mile away as friends reunited. Some were not as escastic as others. Most, however, were filled with a new sense of adventure and wonder at the looming year of backstabbing, creativity, blooming romance, rivalries and friendships.

Who's ready for an awesome school year?
(OOC: I know. this sucked. but my creative juices are dry right now as i stare at psychology in the face)

Mom, we've been through this," Nina said calmly, staring up at her anxious mother with expectant and weary eyes. No matter how many times they have done this - unpacking her clothes in a room that wasn't hers and separating for at least a week - Mirella Lovell seemed to not get used to it. Sad green eyes took in her daughter's stance; Nina was seated on her bed with her legs crossed and her body propped up by her hands on the bed. At the moment, Nina Lovell looked like the little impatient child that had to wait for her mother to stop prancing around her room because she was leaving her at Melrose Academy for the first time alone.

Mirella sighed.

It's been a long time since Nina had been that girl and it still felt like that day every single time.

"Fine, fine...I'm leaving," she said, holding up her hands in surrender. Nina grinned and stood, ready to walk her mother to the door. When she stood, a small childish part of her squealed in delight. At some point, Nina became just a few centimeters taller than her mother and she revelled in that revelation. However, just as they began walking into the common area of the suite she was sharing with her other roommates that she had not been able to see, Mirella turned back around and Nina placed impatient hands on her hips. If her mother could pout, the woman would probably be doing so. "I know, but I just...are you sure you don't need anything? Maybe new curtains? Oooh...we can go get that rug - "

"Mom, we literally bought out IKEA this year because you wanted to get everything new," Nina reminded her, taking in her bedroom. She was happy that she got to have everything to herself save for the bathroom, kitchen and living room. Having a bedroom was like achieving near Nirvana; you didn't get there, but you damn sure feel like you were close enough. "I have snacks that could last me the rest of the semester, I like my room, I have my laptop, I have my TV, and I am going to be fine. I'll be even better when you leave." Nina gave her a mom a pointed look and Mirella sighed, defeated. The two women walked out of the room and then out of the suite, arms linked.

Do not get Nina wrong; she loved her mom a lot and she understood where the woman was coming from. Nina had gotten sick during their trip to Montpellier this summer and the woman nearly flew into an anxiety attack. Since then, she had been watching Nina like a hawk. If Nina complained about the smallest of headaches, she was suddenly being whisked away to the hospital. Nina could recall accidentally hitting her arm against a door. It was no secret that Nina bruised easily. Did that stop Mirella from rushing her to the hospital? No. Even when the doctor told her that everything was alright - that it would be rare for her to develop her cancer again during this age range, especially after having made an astounding recovery. But Mirella was steadfast in her desire to watch out for her daughter. Having to separate was probably a pain.

Just as they reached the parking lot, Mirella began listing off all the things she wanted Nina to do and the brunette smirked.

"And call you on Wednesdays after seven because you have choir rehearsal at four-thirty and bible study at six," Nina finished for her and placed her hands on Mirella's shoulders. "Mama, I am going to be fine. If I get the first symptom of anything, I will be in the nurse's office. Pinky swear." Nina even held up her pinky to the older woman and after a moment, Mirella smiled sheepishly and linked their pinkies before pressing her forehead against her daughter's. Nina closed her eyes, smiling.

"Mī thōḍē ēka, āpaṇa prēma," she whispered and pulled away slowly, a bright smile on her face and tears glistening in her eyes.

"Love you too, Mom," Nina replied and watched her mother get in the car. She folded her arms over her chest and walked to the driver's side. "You drive safely. Tell Paṇajī āṇi ājōbā that I love them and I'll call." Her mother nodded and before long, Nina was watching the tail end of her mother's Ford driving off, leaving Nina alone in the parking lot. With nothing to do, Nina straightened out the skirt of her outfit before deciding to text Carmen and find out if she was on campus yet.

"Dad, I'm fine. Just finished settling in is all," Mason said as he pretty much hurled his suitcase on his bed. Sighing at the task as this was the second suitcase he brought up to his room - second to the trunk of belongings he also had - Mason plopped himself behind the big bag.

Like always, James Lockwood could not come to Melrose Academy or even LA to see his son off. It wasn't that Mason wasn't used to this. Since the incident-that-shall-not-be-named, his father had not been able to look at him the same without some ounce of pity or guilt in his eyes. There was the time with Amber last year and that entire debacle, but other than that, Mason hardly saw his father unless he had somehow gotten into serious trouble. In truth, Uncle Charlie was probably the only real father figure Mason had in his life and normally, that was fine. But, somewhere in the back of his mind where he would deny this vehemently while looking just like the little boy that loved being swung around in his father's arms, he had actually hoped that today would be different.

It wasn't.

Really shouldn't have expected anything more.


"Yes, Uncle Charlie is helping me," Mason answered, almost missing his father's inquiry. Agitation was very much clear in his voice and at some point, Mason didn't care if his roommate - whoever that was - heard. It wasn't like privacy was going to be much anyway; it never was in double rooms. "Yeah, I checked my account. Thanks." At least, that was something Mason could always count on. Money. As sad as it was, that was the one thing his father provided without fail. After a few more moments of meaningless and awkward chatter, Mason bid his father adieu and pretty much threw his phone on the bed. Sighing once more, he layed back and sprawled out, staring at the ceiling.

This was going to be a long year.

"Belinda mi pincessa," Belinda could faintly hear as she stirred awake. She was never that much of a morning person, at least not without coffee. Her dad, dramatic as usual, swung the door open. "Mi princessa how long will you sleep?" He said, gently pulling her covers off. She sighed "Hi Papa," She said kissing his cheek before sliding out of bed. She yawned stretching out her body. "C'mon princesssa," he said as he rose from her bed and walked out of her room. She sighed and walked over to her shower. 

 

Belinda decided to wear a fit and flare shift dress. It hugged her top but was loose everywhere else. It was a bit short resting on her upper thigh's but she had long legs so technically it wasn't her fault. She paired it with thigh high black socks and her favorite beige platform boots. She added she accessories before walking over to her full length mirror. "You look perfect."She told herself doing a quick spin. 

She ended up wearing her hair down, as usual, but Jessica Rabbit style with a deep part. She matched the pin up hair with pin up makeup. Red lips and winged black eyeliner. She glanced at her bedroom before sighing and leaving.



She lived about an hour away from the school and since her father had her car, a vintage light blue convertible, towed to the school a week before, she was driven in a limo. Don't get it twisted she loved making a grade entrance but this was a bit much. But her dad was always all "Princessa keep a low profile," or "Princessa let's take the back to avoid paparazzi, "pardon her french but in her mind fuck the paparazzi. she was fabulous. 

An hour later, and three Starbucks stops later, she was pulling up in front of the school. She, along with the people her father paid to unpack the rest of her dorm headed inside. She decided to ignore the curious gazes or the jealous glares. 

She breazed through the suite straight to  her bedroom It was already petty much decorated it just needed pictures. And she had alot of pictures. She also added a few extra touches. She sighed as the movers left. Plopping on her bed, her soft comfy bed. "No, no no no get up right now," She commanded herself. She checked her outfit in the mirror again before heading out. 

Once she got to out the suite she realized she didn't know what to do. She pulled out her phone. It was time to stop avoiding this problem. 
To:[b] Leo 
[b]Message:

Hey Leo its me. I know I didn't answer you or Ava's calls or emails or texts over the summer but I'm ready to talk now. Meet up? I'm in the quad. 

She sighed and tucked an imaginary strand of stray hair (Habit) behind her ear. She smiled the next time she opened up a new message. 
To: Nina 
Message: 
Nina, I'm here darling and unpacked. If you need me I'm in the quad. I might see Leo.

'Her a.k.a. is stealer, she steals guys’
hearts and pulls the strings like a pilot '

Leo was having a nice nap but his phone rang out which ruined his blissful sleep and to add to that he recognised the ring tone which he especially set up for a specific person. He must thank his kpop friend for setting this up as no one would recognise the lyrics if they are korean or if they are a big fan of U-kiss but there are hardly asian people around apart from that one Chinese dancer that he see's sometimes. He grunted as he got out of bed and pulled his hoodie off his head as he rooted around for his phone which was in his backpack.
He put in his password and looked at the message, it was from Belinda who is his ex girlfriend. He read the contents of the messages and snorted in disbelief.
She was ready to talk now?
He is looking forward to hear what she has to say and see whether she can convince him or not. Leo left his dorm and headed off towards the quad.

After awhile he reached his destination and looked around to look for Belinda, then he spotted her not too far away. He smirked to himself as he walked over hands in pocket, once he reached her he said "Hello Belle darling, how was you're fine summer? Broke any guys hearts recently?" He asked cheerfully as if it was just an ordinary question to ask.

Belinda was sitting in a chair waiting for  Leo. 
"Hello Bel darling, how was you're fine summer? broke any guys hearts lately?" He asked in his fake cheery voice. Before she could bite her tongue her latino temper kicked in. No I was a little busy. Get any more girls knocked up?" She sat back down and breathed "Stop making me the bad guy ok. I was supposed to take care of.. it and I was going to come back and be with you. But Ava had to run her mouth. And I knew if I talked to you, you would convince me to keep it." She pulled the bobby pins out of her hair, letting the faux flapper hair loose. Her hair began to fall like a  waterfall framing her face until it settled on her lower chest. The neat coifed curls now revealed big curls resembling waves. She sighed and ran a hand through her hair. Her hair always annoyed her, but Leo used to like it. "Stop it," She commanded herself . 

" Leo my point is everyone is pretending like I broke everyone's heart. That's not fair. I had to wear those baby doll dresses the whole end of the school year to hide it, I had to act distant to you, I had to lie to my friends. Then when summer finally came I went to the doctor and he said it was too late for the abortion. So I had to break up with you, because ,let's be honest you don't want a child." She looked up at him full of rage and hurt "Then I told Ava, not my best friend in the whole world Nina, but your sister. I thought she would see my point. Turns out she didn't. But there I was in labor with my mother , because my father was on tour. And this gorgeous baby that was the perfect mix of the two of us. The kind of baby people wished they had. Remember, we used to say that with our genes we would have the most gorgeous baby . And we did. Big blue eyes, curly brown hair, perfect weight. And I had to hand my baby to my mother who did a suck ass job at raising me. So spare me the crap. And when your done treating me like I'm some evil heartbreaking bitch, you can come by my room and pick up your crap."  

She stood up, composed herself, pulled two bobby pins out of her purse to pin her bangs back, and brushed off the imaginary lint on her skirt. "I guess I'll see you around, She said briefly kissing him on the cheek, leaving a faint red lip shape that she didn't care to fix. Then like the brilliant actress she was she left with her head high, looking like she was walking the runway at fashion week. She glanced back at him one more time before really leaving, 



Back in her room She shut the door. Her first instinct was to turn on music, but as luck would happen 'wrecking ball' was playing. She shut it off quickly before plopping on her bed with her laptop in front of her. If music couldn't make it better, Breakfast at Tiffany's sure as hell could.

Nina chuckled at Carmen as they sat the girl's things in her room.

Not even sure how that would fit in your mouth, sweetie," Nina replied and pulled out her phone. A small squeal escaped from her mouth as she recalled that Belinda was, in fact, her suite mate. She hurriedly responded to her best friend's text.

To:Belinda
Heading to the caf with Carmen. Come :)


With the text sent, Nina turned all of her attention back to the blonde before her, flipping some of her hair over her shoulder. While she adored having her hair longer now and was ever grateful for not being that bald, sickly child she remembered looking at it in the mirror, it could get annoying. Nina almost had the right mind to tie it back into one of her chignons, but refrained from doing so. She was wearing the headband for a reason.

"I invited Belle for lunch," she told Carmen, hooking her arm with the blonde. One, because the girl would need to refrain from putting too much pressure on her toe. Secondly and probably the bigger reason, because she missed Carmen. Talking on the phone and occasionally Skyping was one thing; seeing the girl in the flesh and being able to just be in her presence was something entirely different. "Come on, I actually want a burger right now."



Image


"Carmen? She's probably just exaggerating it, honestly." Mason chuckled to himself. He remembered Carmen. She was friends with Nina and well, the bubbly blonde was cute. Mason knew nothing would come out of it and actually hadn't thought about her all summer. Then again, the girl from Pasadena was pretty mind-blowing. Anyway, he could recall Carmen's tendency to over-exaggerate. He presumed that Theo and Carmen were close. Actually, now that the thought crossed his mind, he recalled seeing them every now and then.

While putting away his clothes that required being hung up, Mason overheard Theo saying that Carmen was probably getting help and his earlier assumption that Nina was outside was confirmed. He almost abandoned the conversation with his new roommate to confront the brunette, but heard her voice slowly fading away down the hall. I'll text her later.

"What department are you in, then? Not music." Mason shook his head, pulling out one of his leather jackets and hanging it up in the closet.

"Theater," he replied shortly. After a beat, he smirked at Theo before plastering one of his most determined and passionate expressions, a fist clenched in front of him. "Alas, you're stuck with one of the many thespians roaming the hall, beguiling young damsels and slaying the monstrous demons we call teachers." It only took a second for Mason to go back to being himself and he chuckled at his own show. "No, seriously. Just an actor. I do that a lot. Forgive me."
