HISTORY
If you asked Emilio, Yesenia has always and will always be more of his hero than any of his other siblings, and that is because Yesenia was actually there for him. Still is, if we're being completely honest. Carlos Slim is one of the most talked about billionaires in the world and has made his mark on America by moving there, but if there is one thing Yesenia will always call him before she ever calls him father, it is a rolling stone. Which, well, to be quite honest, doesn't fall too far from the mark. After all, he has thirteen children, six of whom were conceived outside of the three marriages he has had in his lifetime. Which, again - if we're being honest - has lent to a bit of hostility between the siblings. Who will be the greatest at this? At that? Who will eventually take over the family business? Who made father dear smile the most? Who has his attention? Who does he love? For Yesenia, when her mother had still been in love, those first four years were absent of such feelings. She didn't need her father because her mother provided all the love in the world. However, her mother died giving birth to her baby brother and despite how much anyone else will think that Emilio has had an awful role model and that she's been nothing more than a party girl all of her life, Yesenia stepped up to the plate for her brother when her eldest siblings refused.
At first, it was simple things. After all, she did not have to do too much when there were plenty of staff members and the like who could care for a newborn baby, but it wasn't Daddy whose name Emilio was first uttering. It was "Senny" and for years, it was the only name she allowed her brother to call her. Technically, it still is. And, again, if we're being honest, Yesenia's entire identity - and that is us ignoring outside opinions from judgmental people who do not know the full story - is built around being a big sister. A surrogate mother. A giver. And, despite how selfish she might be with her sushi or how nonchalant she tries to be, Yesenia has given more for her brother than anyone else has in the boy's entire life. At a young age, it was obvious that she was meant to use her hands. She was a smart girl and the first and only, of all of the children to be scouted for Le Rosey, the top private school in the entire world. Which she was accepted to and moved to by the time she turned eight. However, when she was thirteen and realized that Emilio was all alone and that none of their siblings were actually watching out for the gawky, tiny boy, Yesenia made a sacrifice Emilio still feels guilty for to this day. She couldn't be taken from Rosey without having an actual issue, considering she had such stellar grades and talents. So, she turned to partying, being carefree. She would never fail classes, but it was enough to garner a bad reputation in the halls of her school. Just enough for Carlos to respectfully withdraw her from the school and send her to California, at Buckley where he would later enroll Emilio. Yesenia would tell everyone she didn't miss a damn thing. Emilio will always remember that his sister gave up a bit of her childhood for him.
At Buckley, despite her past and the expectations that came with her educational legacy, Yesenia focused all of her time and energy on watching out for her brother. Sure, she sketched and to this day, honestly needs to talk with her father about real estate development considering her ideas for architecture, but her aspirations during those years was for Emilio to have whatever he needed. It didn't matter that she and her brother lived in a luxurious mansion with maids who could cook for him and help him through school. She did it and even made sure to keep him on the straight and narrow while she went out and lost herself in drinking and partying with socialites and the several celebrities she would befriend. And she kept up with it, despite knowing that she could have been the highest in her class and that she could have actually gone off to schools like Columbia instead of staying in California at Berkley just so that Emilio wouldn't be alone. However, despite her longings and such, Yesenia doesn't regret the work she put into making sure her brother got the chance to have a real and supportive family. Even if it was just her.

PERSONALITY
In order to actually understand the complexity of Yesenia, since she is far more complex and harder to read than most people assume, it's probably better to simply start with what people think of her. From the first glance, Yesenia is a gorgeous and energetic young woman. Vivacious and always ready for an adventure, she is that friend you almost always want to go on a road trip with. Not that she doesn't use her family's private jet or yacht to get by on those occasions, but the point is that she's spontaneous. Exuberantly so. As a young woman who seemingly needs to always be entertained lest she get bored with her current company or life in general, she is always down for fun in all of its various forms, whether that includes playing video games or working out with the guys, parties, a movie or television binge (which, honestly, keeps her attention far more than any socialite event she has been to), or running off to some party in the middle of another state. It doesn't matter. She is the type to love fun and being on the move and living life the way whatever deity - God, Satan (hopefully, not), Buddha, Yoweh, whomever - intended. Though, if you ask others, those same deities probably didn't mean for her to be so...well, wild.
Let's be clear, Nia's energy and flirtatiousness can be endearing. She's not as overtly sexual as others would have you believe, but she's made it a point to not be a perfect socialite on a regular basis. Why? Because there is no point, at least in terms of who her family is. Being the second to the youngest of thirteen siblings has enabled her to seem lackadaisical and stubbornly selfish, always willing to do something that would tarnish the family name. She does things on a drop of a hat and is indomitable, rarely - if ever - adhering to someone else's supposed power over her. She's arrogant...or vain - vanity is probably the better word for it and she has such a loose tongue sometimes. And see, this is where you would have to know her or know those closest to her to understand where the bravado ends...or rather, where the assumptions should end. Yesenia does like fun and being a bit reckless and enjoying herself, but none of this was without purpose. While some people are pressed to be the absolute best and tear others down to get there, Yesenia's already partially had the best. She's been a model since she turned ten because, well look at her? She was at the best school in the entire world; she was even able to skip a grade while away. That's one thing most people tend to forget or just be ignorant to. She might be the girl you are afraid to leave your man around (she don't want him, she just likes fucking with you btw) or the one who's bringing the life to the party, but none of her actions are exclusively impulsive and reckless, nor has she not thought something through. Yesenia had one of the highest grade point averages in a school with students with the highest IQs; she is not a dumb girl and never will be. She's honestly a self-sacrificing, self-deprecating, insecure and unmotivated girl.
When her mother died when she was four and her younger brother was partially blamed for it by their father, Yesenia made it her life's goal to do whatever and whatever for her real family - which, at the time, included only him. So, if that meant letting this chubby little baby go around calling her "Mama" until he was able to pronounce a bit of her name, so be it. If it meant spending nights curled up with a too warm tiny body just so he could get a good night's sleep because Emilio had recognized the difference between the hold of family and of staff, then she would do it. And when she got older, if it meant giving up the education of a lifetime and moving on in her life for him to have someone other than some servant to come home to in a country he was not familiar with, then that was what needed to be done. She took her promise to Emilio more seriously than anything else - whatever he needed, she would be. Even if it meant she learned to downplay her own talents in order to uplift him and his. She's a lot more selfless and family-oriented than most people would think, but it's also lent to a crude persona that can be a bit of a challenge. It means that Yesenia has lost herself so in this image she constructed in order to get her father to pay attention to someone - at least, one of the youngest of his honest-to-god soccer team of a family - she lost faith in getting it herself. She became and still is last on the totem pole. She's buried underneath this party girl persona that she has forgotten that she means far more to people than sex and a good time, that she's far smarter than her current situation and that she still has far more potential than a lot of people she would want to compare herself to. And she hates subtle reminders of this goodness when, to be quite honest, she feels dirty.
Which is why she contends herself with relationships with guys she knows she will never love. Because she'll never feel worthy of anything deeper than that. Plus, she knows she's a possessive, blunt spitfire that most wouldn't be able to handle. Yesenia will tell you the truth about yourself even if you didn't want to hear it, but is probably the first to refuse to hear anything you have to say about her. Partly because she knows some of your reasoning would be based off the perception she gave you, partly because she's far more sensitive than the tough girl act she gives off. She isn't the time to back down just because you will her to and she doesn't fear many people; in fact, despite her effervescence and naturally seductive mannerisms, she's a bit intimidating herself. After all, you can run game on her all you want or try to impose whatever ideals you think you can. You will be highly surprised by how quickly she shuts you and your shit down, and then makes sure that you remember that violence will be her next course of action if you fuck with herself or hers. She's a fan of tough love and while those who know themselves as her friend know that they can come to her for advice even under the guise of her "no chick flick moments" request, she doesn't sugar coat anything. She's not entirely insensitive to people's issues, but if a girl who can't handle emotional situations without hardening herself does that for her own situations, she's probably gonna do the same with yours. The difference is that she is able to distance herself from it and be objective. You've just gotta be prepared for her inability to care about how delicately you want certain matters to cared for. And she hates her possessiveness - hates this desire to keep things as hers and being upset when people infringe upon her territory. Acknowledging the feeling meaning acknowledging a weakness; acknowledging that she needs someone or something. And since when has Yesenia Slim-Helú admitted to being needy?

DISLIKES
When anyone assumes that they know her | Being the last to know the truth, particularly about the people she cares about | Someone flirting with the one she has feelings for | Drugs | Anyone who tries to force her to do anything she doesn't want to do | Hangovers | Most fast food places (because how the fuck do you make nachos without a real queso??) | Staying in one place for long | Judgmental people | Any form of bigotry | Internalized misogyny or sexism | Smoking | Slut-shaming | Being taken care of when she's sick | Twizzlers | Being vulnerable or feeling weak | Brussel sprouts | When guys automatically assume she wants to give up the goods to them | Beer (tough or no, that shit tastes like hot piss) | Anyone who messes with her brother or those she cares about
FEARS
✦Always dealing with that disappointed stare her father levels her with occasionally ✧Being alone ✦Anything every happening to her younger brother that she could have prevented (Like, she would die for this boy) ✧Actually letting someone in, being vulnerable with them - only for them to realize that she's not good enough for them ✦Jelly-fish (They look cute as fuck, but won't be so cute once them motherfuckers sting your ass and got you writhing on the floor in shock) ✧Never fully being able to be proud of herself or like she's accomplished anything
ASPIRATIONS
✦Live to see the day Emilio opens up his own veterinarian office and accomplish all of his goals ✧One day, not be considered one of the fuck ups of the family. She's not particularly looking for her father's approval like when she was younger, but perhaps a bit of her own ✦Oversee the real estate development of Grupo Carso and design a few homes herself ✧Get on the level of real estate developers like Mohammed Hadid and have that one construction that will go down in history (of course, you would seriously have to get this out of her to know of its existence) ✦To get married and actually be a mother to her own child and stop "mother-henning", as Emilio says, her brother ✧Build an environmentally friendly, cost-efficient home for the homeless with a program designed to get those people off the street and in the process of finding jobs
SECRET(S)
✦The fact that, despite what anyone else believes, Yesenia remained a virgin until she was seventeen and had only lost it to a guy she actually liked enough. ✧How she technically does have a Master's degree in Architecture and a Bachelor's in business. It's easy for most people to assume she majored in something rather basic. ✦Despite both being party people and typically the ones for one-night stands or sex-only relationships, Yesenia does have genuine romantic feelings for CJ Rockefeller. They just scare her too much and why the fuck would one of her best friends want her when he can have literally any girl in the world?

GENERAL APPEARANCE
From the second she was born, the world knew Yesenia Slim-Helú was going to be a very lovely young woman and that vision has definitely come to fruition. She is very much the standard Latina woman with her deep olive complexion and dark hair. What set her apart, and is a blessing in disguise, is both her stature and build, a gift from her mother's side of the family. While a few of her brothers and cousins have grown to detest it, Yesenia is a surprisingly tall young woman with legs for days, toned and shapely for her slender physique. She would never have said that she towered over anyone, but she definitely never felt tiny or inferior to her male counterparts, and honestly if you're feeling the silken skin of her legs wrapped around your waist, even you would have little to complain about. One of the most notable physical traits inherited from her mother, aside from the golden-flecked eyes that seem to always see past your bullshit and somehow seem lighter than they actually are when they catch some wayward beam of the sun, are, well, her curves. It was one thing for Yesenia, with her pouty lips and high cheekbones, to capture her attention. It's a completely different story when, to accompany her naturally sensuous charm, comes a figure most girls have admired and hated her for, specifically her ass. Her pear-shaped figure, kept fit and trim over the years due to a desire to never let her actual weight show or have anything slow down her fast-paced lifestyle, is eye-catching, particularly her bottom since its roundness is kinda not something to be ignored. Full and pert, the only way you don't notice her butt is if you were blind and it doesn't help that her long, silky and thick hair seems to sit just above it, practically teasing you. As if Yesenia herself isn't a tease.
