Rent:
"The landlord should win 'Douchebag of the Year'."
Has only been late on rent once, and that was when she first moved in and hadn't found a job yet. At the moment,
she's up-to-date.
Time in 85 Irving:
"Probably one of the longest tenants here..."
Three Years and Five Months to add everything up, however, at one point, she moved out to temporarily live at
a friend's home when she felt like she wasn't able to pay rent for a few months after losing her part time job throughout
her course. She returned anyway, at the same room and couldn't have felt more at home.
Appearance:
"I ain't that pretty."
She's not a natural red-head, she had only started to begin the red-head trend when she moved to New York and wanted a
new look at a new place. She had maintained the red-head style for a few years and wouldn't go back to her natural brunette
hair. Her current haircut is shoulder length, permanently waved and a side fringe, which is swept from left to right, and the
split of her hair is more towards the left side. Ysabella doesn't like her natural hair color and complained that it reminded
her that she would be the same as everyone else. Her eyes are of a lighter green, which were inherited by her Father's strong
green eyes. Her skin is light, which made her eyes stand out more, but she would tan easily if she stayed out too long.
She is the tallest female in her Family. Her weight is pretty average for someone her height, though people figured she
would have - at least - gained weight, considering where she worked and how much pastry she often brought home to
her neighbors. Ysabella has an hourglass figure. Her measurements as of the beginning of the year were 34C-24-35, and a
toned stomach. She's particularly fussy of her body and would do workouts in front of the television or go to the gym when
she had free time. She had a strict eating regime and mainly drank water, but from time to time, she would treat herself
with a treat.
On her body, there's a scar that is at the back of her neck, which she received during her preteens while playing tag with her
neighborhood friends in the vineyard, and she tripped over backwards towards the fence, where a wire had stuck out and
pushed into her skin and across one side to the other. Ysabella was hospitalized for bleeding and had to get stitches in order
for it to heal. Since then, she had it inked to hide it. From the back of her neck and down midway to her back, she has a
big colored tattoo of flower amongst a grapevine, to remind her of where she came from, where she was raised and where
she received the scar from. Ysabella's ears are pierced, but only two as she doesn't want any other holes in her ears.
Fashion sense, well, Ysabella is always casual. Stripes are her best friend, but she would also be seen with loose shirts that
would have a print at the front. Her pants are always colored jeans, although she's often seen wearing black jeans when she's
working. Boots are her favorite, but she wouldn't limit to them, especially during the Summer.
Personality:
"Well, where to begin..."
Towards people, Ysabella is really friendly, smiling and communicative. She wouldn't reject a random hello, and she
wouldn't hesitate to say it to a random stranger either, well, maybe since it's part of her work to do so. She does, however,
have a bad temper, and she would get really annoyed at people who have no manners and bad-mouth innocent people, and
if she ever saw that happen in the Bakery, her mouth would open without a filter. Though, Ysabella doesn't like cussing as she
was raised to be slapped when a cuss came out of her, and she never liked the idea of cussing in every second word either.
She is honest, enjoyed freedom of thought and travel, and would laugh about her misfortunes and mistakes, even while
she is upset or in pain. Though she would get angry if her integrity is questioned, but other than that, she is kindhearted,
though sometimes tactless and can be deceived in romance, but is rarely misled in other areas of life. She has a strong love
for taking risks, both physical and intellectual, and would stick by her own very clear moral standards. Ysabella doesn't treat
people differently, especially if they have a rich-and-poor statues, and she would only see everyone as an equal.
Her relationship with her neighbors are neutral, and she would often bring them pastry that weren't sold to them when there
was enough, and sometimes, if there were way too many, she would go to the other floors too. Once and a while, she'd give
some to the Landlord.
Ysabella likes freedom of action, alternative ideas, being on the move, food and drink, perfumes and beauty aids, raffles
and lotteries, parties, flirting, baking, cooking, pleasing others, sports and men. She does appreciate gifts, getting some
compliments, a hearty person, socializing and meeting new people.
Though she dislikes disapproval from others, making promises that she couldn't keep, being too safe, secure, or confined,
tight clothing, having her honesty doubted, a broken promise, friends who aren't who they appear to be, arguments, conflict,
quiet and unsociable people, being alone and being unappreciated.
To sum her up, Ysabella would be the type of girl that you either love her or hate her.
Skills:
"I may be a Baker's Assistant, but I do have some other skills too!"
Cooking and Baking were the main skills she's recognized for, however, throughout her life, she was taught various things due to
her participation in sports. She's a strong swimmer and a fast runner, and she's also quite persuasive as it would be part of her
social skills she learned throughout her teenage years. Ysabella's work demanded her to know First Aid, which included CPR and
bandaging up wounds that were made in the kitchen. And while studying, she's really confident with a knife, which meant that she
would be able to throw it with quite an accurate aim.
Weaknesses:
"Okay, let's be honest, we're not perfect."
Sometimes, because of Ysabella's dislike towards being confined and being too safe, she would often be impulsive and would react or do
things without thinking about the consequences. From time to time, she would get easily emotionally attached to a person or a thing that
watching them get hurt would make her cry, and because of that, seeing blood would make her feel nauseous and wanting to puke. As
she doesn't drink too often, alcohol would make her act differently. Ysabella has a problem with her right knee, which she injured during
a tennis game in High School that left her inactive for more than a year out of fear of getting it operated on, and if there's
too much pressure added onto that knee or if she doesn't have a brace on, she would feel it cramp and can't walk for a while.
Religion:
"I was raised with the belief of God and Jesus."
Catholicism
Dedication to Religion:
"Once I moved, it became neutral."
She would attend Church when she can, but due to work and her other commitments, she didn't have time to attend
any Mass. Her belief is still there, but not as much as when she used to live with her Parents and it wasn't as strong.
Family:
"The Crane Family."
Mother and Father are still alive and breathing. Thirty year old Older Brother is alive and in the Army. Twenty-Seven
year old Older Sister passed away after giving birth to her first Child. Nineteen year old Younger Sister
is alive and in College. Seven year old Nephew is alive.
History:
"If anyone asked, I seriously would tell them all this, even though it's not very interesting."
Born as the third of four children of the Crane household, Ysabella was probably the most busiest out of all her
Siblings as she admired her Brother so much that she joined the same sports and activities as her did. Throughout her
childhood, she played Soccer, and in her teens, she played Tennis, but when she reached College, her love transferred to
cooking. She discovered her talents as a Baker in her Senior year of High School and went took a course instead of taking
up a proper degree in College like her friends. Ysabella's Parents disapproved with her decision to be a Baker and wanting to
own her own Bakery due to it being unprofessional and taking the easy way out.
Ysabella didn't play dolls like her Sisters did, and she only played with them when her Parents forced her to become more
appreciative of her femininity. Her relationship with her Father became strained when he showed favoritism towards her
girly Sisters and had snubbed her whenever she showed him something that he should have been proud of. It was throughout
her teens that her Father and her officially became awkward and no longer spoke as often as they should, and when they did,
it was more of an argument than it was to talk. Her relationship with her Mother was neutral, because her Mother particularly
showed favoritism to the only boy in the house. All in all, if Ysabella had to put a label on it, she was definitely just a lost
child amongst the four. Add in her Nephew, and she was definitely invisible.
The Crane Parents were devote Catholics and attended Church every Sunday and made their children attend Sunday school to
become closer to their Religion. Both Parents worked. Her Father was a Lawyer, and her Mother ran the Florist business in
her hometown of Napa, California. Her Older Brother enlisted in the army when he turned Twenty-Five and hadn't returned
home to visit ever since. Her Older Sister got pregnant at the age of Twenty, but had difficulties during labor and passed
away a few minutes after she saw her baby for the first time, and her Parents have raised him since. Her Younger Sister
moved out to Ann Arbor, Michigan to attend College there. All the while, Ysabella moved to New York to attend a course and
get a job at a Bakery, being an Assistant and helping run the business with her female boss.
One day, Ysabella wanted to open her own Bakery, become recognized, open more branches and prove her Parents wrong.
