GENERAL APPEARANCE
- Due to Bali's illness, she's terribly skinny and has a small frame for a woman her age. And honestly, skinny isn't really her thing. She enjoys having more than a little skin on bones. Thankfully, she's gotten a bit better and looks less thin than before, being still underweight, but healthy enough. Being half African-American, Bali's skin is slightly darker than some roaming New York. Most assume it's a tan, but all of it is natural, though she does get tanned more easily during the summer going to the beach. She stands at quite a tall height, at five feet and eight inches, or 177 centimeters, perfect for being a model except she instead goes the path of becoming a dancer. Her hair is obviously black and if she doesn't 'groom' it properly, it'll basically become an afro. However, she doesn't let this happen often and instead wears it back in buns and occasionally straightens it. Whenever she's too lazy, she'll leave it like so though. Her eyes are a dark green, even though she wishes they were bright and vivid, and she often puts mascara on her eyelashes to make them a bit more noticeable. She has earrings on both her ears, but takes them out during her dances.
Her choice of clothes is always specific and fashionable. Well, most of the time. Around her closest friends, she won't care what she wears. During her dancing, she'll either wear shorts of hip hop pants, tank top or a thin, loose shirt, all made up of basic colors most times.

To no surprise, Bali is very honest, perhaps too honest for her own good. She has the habit of speaking her mind right then and there, which can make her reliable, especially since lying is definitely not her forte. If she wants to lie, it'll be accompanied by obvious shifting and stuttering. However, she will always try to stay away from lying, even if it means avoiding the questions.
Most people, upon meeting her, will notice that Bali is a very outgoing young woman. She loves to talk - not excessively - and is generally friendly and can easily relate with people. Starting a conversation is no task for her. She's always encouraging others and helping them out. Making people smile and laugh is also something she does often without even trying to, and vice versa; Bali laughs far too easily. It's not very hard to impress her.
Bali is also fairly optimistic. She won't give up at something unless she definitely knows it won't work or if it's useless. Even if she was the last person trying, she'd continuously push herself to finally do something and complete it. She doesn't believe in 'No's or people giving up without having even put the effort in trying. Her daily encouraging attitude would always carry onto tight situations, no matter what.
And of course, she's hardworking. If she's given free time, she'll spend it practicing something, whether it's dancing or writing or choreographing or something else. She uses her time efficiently, not wasting any of the time she's given. When it comes to dancing, she'll work until there was bruises on her body that'll make her feel numb whens he wakes up but won't even care. If she's doing something she loves, what she feels later won't matter because she lives in the present.
Bali's quite susceptible to compliments of all sorts though, as she's not very hard to get to blushing. As much as she loves compliments, she's always shy when she receives them, mostly because she's on the giving side rather than. It doesn't really bother her though. If anything, she looks back on the times when her face went red and laughs wondering why she was so embarrassed.
- ✦Dancing - She wouldn't be able to live without it.
✧Compliments - Although she's definitely going to deny and blush, Bali still loves getting compliments. It makes her happier than you'd think.
✦Family/Friends - Her family is especially important to her since she was adopted and her friends even more so since now they are basically her second family.
✧Traveling - She's been to American, Japan, the UK, and still has plans to visit more since every place looks different.
✦Messing With Her Hair - Whether it's just her running her hands through her hair or someone else (or even Bali messing with someone else's hair), she loves it.
✧Criticism - Most people wouldn't, but Bali takes it as things to work on to becoming a better dancer, no matter the comment.
- ✦Big Dogs - They're just... big, and have claws, and teeth.
✧Birds - They make noise in the early mornings and constantly flood around her for some reason.
✦Mornings - Too early. Need more sleep.
✧Tangled Hair - It's fun to mess with until a tangle starts. Once it's there, it takes forever for Bali to get it out. It's definitely not a fun process.
✦Her Illness - Coughing, tiredness, being weak... that's not what a dancer is and not what a dancer can be.

- ✦Dancing - She'd been dancing since she was exceptionally young, how could she not be?
✧Gymnastics - Her sister did gymnastics often and Bali decided to give it a shot. She did pretty well.
✦Makeup - While Bali only wears mascara, she's basically a pro when it comes to dolling up her friends on special occasions.
✧Endurance - Despite her illness holding her down, Bali is able to push her body to the limit, although it takes a while to recover.
✦Choreography - She doesn't stick to any specific style and instead invents her own dance, picking pieces from here and there and putting it all into a single dance.
FLAWS
- ✦Her Illness - Explained.
✧Often Fatigued - Whenever she pushed herself too hard, Bali will become fatigued for a long period of time, being bedridden in the worst cases.
✦Head In The Clouds - She spaces out often and may fall asleep in the most unusual areas by accident.
✧Tone Deaf - Dancers dance to music, and she can do that. Just... don't invite her to a karaoke. Ever.
✦Not An Artist - Someone once picked up a sketch book in her room. They asked if her younger sister drew it. She had to embarrassingly say that the drawings were hers.
FEARS
- ✦Spreading Her Illness - While no longer contagious, Bali still has the fear that her illness may return to being contagious and she may infect her friends and family.
✧Not Being Able To Dance - That'd be the worst thing out there to happen. It's what she strives to become best at and to take that away would be torture.
✦Horror Movies - She's terrified of them, yet she does it anyways and then stays up way too late fearing some demon's living in her room or something.
✧Being Alone - Especially in the dark. She's watched enough horror movies to know what happens.
✦Heights - Being on the tenth floor is bad, but looking out the window would most likely cause her to start crying.

- Right to the point - Bali had and still has tuberculosis. When she was a child, the symptoms weren't visible, so she lived pretty normally in the beginning. Originally, she was adopted by a nice family that had two actually children, and then two adopted children including herself. No tragic story to that - she loved her parents and her siblings were her world, despite being one of the youngest. Her siblings were Yui, Aneshka, and Tessa. She was so protective of them and they stuck together like glue, just as she was with her current group of friends.
Then, symptoms began to show up. Her parents grew concerned over the amount of coughing she did each day, and even more so when she couldn't do physical activities for too long. It was discovered that she had tuberculosis. Without saying a single thing to any one of her friends, she suddenly left, giving only the excuse that they 'were moving away.' And just like that, gone. Their family really did move, to the UK for the time being. Bali struggled between the want to dance and the want to get better.
Eventually, she got better, kind of. The illness was no longer contagious, and her body began to return to it's normal, healthy state, but the symptoms were still there, occurring more often than she hoped. They still limit her, and she still takes medications, and all sorts of other things to ensure her health. Then, she moved back to New York, after suddenly feeling that desperate wanting to dance again with her old friends. Even though her parents beg her not to push herself, Bali continues to dance to prove that not even her illness can hold her back.
