General Appearance:
Most girls Jia's age are into fashion and makeup and trying different styles but Jia just wears what's comfortable. More times than not you will see her in jeans and a shirt when maybe a jacket and occasionally a hat. She rarely wears dresses or shirts unless she absolutely has to. Her she drives her mother crazy but she can't help it.
She wears little to no makeup ever, a little lipstick, foundation, and eyeliner that is pretty much the extent of her makeup expertise. Her mother always said she didn't need makeup around her eyes since her crystal blue eyes were enough to get someone's attention. Paired with her eyes was the unusual curly hair of hers. Normally eyes like hers are paired with blond locks which always gets her the delight of people Psking her if her hair color is natural.
Personality:
Jia's mother would describe her as stubborn, and sometimes rude. Her father on the other hand would describe her as honest and strongwilled. Both are the same but twisted so one is more negative than the other. They are both true. She is stubborn but at the same time strongwilled, she won't let anything come between what her morals are. If she's made up her mind about something it will take a lot to get her to change it. On the other hand she is honest to the point that it may seem rude. Like her mom always told her "there are truths that you just keep to yourself," and honestly Jia just blurts out the first thing that comes to her mind. Even if it the rudest thing anyone could think of, if it's true you can bet Jia will say it.
When it comes to her passion, photography, Jia is a perfectionist. Everything has to be completely perfect or she isn't happy with it. She will take shot after shot until she gets the right one. Most artists are perfectionists from what Jia has learned from the many people she's meet over the years.

History:
Jianna was born and raised in Sicily. Her whole family pretty much lived in the same neighborhood. You can't go outside without a cousin or grandparent there. When she was born her parents were already on the verge of their success so she pretty much was well off her whole life. She was a chubby kid which was where her nickname Polpetta came from, it was given to her by her grandpa and it just stuck from day one. She didn't mind it though, it was meant as an endearing term.
Her grandparents owned a farm their whole lives, they raised sheep and goats and some chickens. Her father was raised on the farm so he knew the meaning of a hard days work and he wanted Jia to know that as well. So for the first 10 years of her life she would help her grandparents on their farm.
Her father became a successful hotel owner when she was 5. His hotel comoany already had 10 worldwide and it was growing. Her mother was a fashion magazine editor for 10 years before having her. Jia has one younger sister, she was born prematurely so everyone into he family was very protective of her especially Jia. They were onlyna few years apart so they were extremely close, almost best friends.
Jia showed interest in photography when she was 12. She doesn't remember what made her love it so much but she knew she did. So for her 12th birthday her parents got her the best camera available and turned one of their spare rooms into a darkroom. She would take random pictures of just about anything and everything and spend hours in that room. Some pictures turned out wonderful but she would get rid of the bad ones. She still has the film since her mom insisted on keeping them.
It was decided that she would got to Meilleur Academy when her parents realized she had a real talent for photography. Her gift had evolved over the years and she'd even began offering her skills professionally. Jia had heard of the school but she wasn't sure if she wanted to be so far from her family, but her parents had already decided.
