About
PERSONALITY
Even from afar, one can tell that Carabelle carries herself with a lot of class and pride. She is a very upbeat individual with a very optimistic view on life. A fashion designer at heart, Carabelle loves coming up with new ideas for her next apparel line. Her designs are very well received online, so she has herself quite a following. People who see Carabelle in public would always ask for a picture of her, to which she would happily provide (and she even offers to take selfies too!)
Carabelle’s looks also match her tastes. She’s often drawn towards fancy and stylish items, and does not hesitate to purchase them for her own use and display. She values both comfort and beauty, so she always finds a way to combine the two in her creations and at home. With Carabelle’s good eye for style, people would always come to her to decide between different design choices, such as for color combinations or the general question of “which one do you think looks better?”
Outside of work, people would describe Carabelle as a party gal who… tends to drink a bit more than she can handle. She would never say no to a new glass and would gladly try out different alcohol mixes. In this state, she becomes very loud and boisterous. While she would never do anything scandalous, she would often do some quite embarrassing things such as dance exaggeratedly in the middle of the dancefloor or just laugh at a joke so hard she starts banging the table. Her friends are the ones who watch over her and take her home while she’s passed out from drunkenness.
Of course, Carabelle knows when it’s the right time to either drink heavily or work. When she hits a design block, she puts on her favorite music to relax and drinks a little bit of alcohol to get her mind working. Inspiration always strikes when in this state, and she will not hesitate to draw or write down any idea that comes to mind. Once she’s rested up and fully sober, she reviews the designs she made while in a tipsy state and makes adjustments accordingly. Carabelle is always proud of anything she makes, and even more so when people also enjoy them.
STORY 🍨
Coming from a well-off family, Carabelle was given plenty of opportunities as a kid to explore her fluctuating interests. She took up singing lessons, ballet lessons, and even guitar and cooking lessons. While these were all fun activities for her to do, nothing brought her more joy than drawing– specifically, drawing and designing clothes and accessories. While going out and about, she would observe people’s garments and note down features that would catch her eye to combine and make her own outfit design.
She would keep this specialty of hers with her until she was older. Carabelle had already decided on working in the fashion/clothing industry, with her family supporting her career wholeheartedly. Her parents would often tell others it was her talent or gift that would lead her to where she is now, but Carabelle would always deny this claim. If you were to ask her, she would instead say that her success is purely because of her hard work and determination– and she’s right!
What others don’t know was that time and time again in the past, Carabelle would often receive rejection emails from different brand companies about the designs she came up with. More professional designers would call her creations “plain, boring, or too unoriginal”. While she would be dejected by these words, that did not stop Carabelle from pursuing her passion. She would ask people to criticize her designs and no matter how harsh, she would take it in and keep note of it to make her future styles better.
She would create all articles of clothing and apparel herself, and would often be her own model for them. She would ask a friend to take pictures of her and she would post them online on different social media websites. Eventually her photographs would gain traction and she soon became viral online, to the point where magazine websites would write about her and her story. One day, someone offered her to help her create her own fashion line and she immediately agreed! Carabelle would eventually make a name for herself, and people who would purchase apparel made by her would often flaunt it to others, saying it’s made by the one and only Carabelle Sorbetes.
EXTRA
- She loves taking long, drawn out bubble or mud baths. It's one of her favorite activities as it reminds her of home.
- Despite being diligent, she had to retake a few classes in college due to missing deadlines from being drunk. She graduated college a year later than she was supposed to, though she at least did well in her studies whenever she chose to focus.
- Being somewhat rich, she loves offering to buy anything her friends need. If you're short on cash during an outing with Carabelle, you can always count on her to pay for the rest of it. Though of course, she won't let herself be taken advantage of.
- She's half deer/carabao- she appears more deerlike in her humanoid form while she looks more like a carabao in her shadow form.
- This is also why she has a dislike for meat products. Although she's vegetarian, she's still fine with foods like normal milk and eggs.
- Voice headcanon: Sadayo Kawakami from Persona 5 (Michelle Ruff)
- Motifs- (Neapolitan) ice cream, shadows, fashion, alcoholic drinks

Relationships
Xell Greyfashion model / drinking buddy
"Xelly boyyy!! God he's so fun to be around, we always have stories to tell whenever we go out and OMG the gossip he always has about our mutual friends! How DOES he get those details!"
With Xell being in the modeling business, he and Carabelle have been fairly acquainted for a while now. Carabelle always asks them to try out her new designs, and he always gladly accepts.
Outside of work, they also have a semi-close relationship. They often go out to eat, drink, and do karaoke. With the both of them being fairly popular in their respective businesses, rumors about the two dating spread like wildfire. They're often one of the favorite topics of tabloids, and when asked if they are together they would always say no, as they really are only close friends.
Though there might be more to their relationship than what is made known publicly.
Musika Muretecollege dormmate
"My favorite—wait... my only roommate ever! I wish we became closer back then. I mean, we practically lived together, right? But she was always so quiet, I had to be the one to initiate conversations all the time. Though... I do wonder how she's doing now."
Musika and Carabelle were college dormmates, though not by choice. Carabelle was the first to occupy their dorm room but due to increasing room rates, she had to share the room with someone else. Luckily, Musika has just started college and needed a dorm to stay in and with no other room available, Musika had no choice but to share a room with Carabelle.
The two did not get along at first- mostly on Musika's part. Their personalities clashed too much and Musika hated how loud Carabelle would be, especially when calling with her friends. She would often consider Carabelle a disturbance to her studies, and this irritated Musika immensely. Carabelle sensed the animosity Musika had towards her, so she one day asked Musika how she felt about their living situation.
And so she did. Musika let out all her pent up frustration, and Carabelle took it all in. Carabelle apologized profusely for her behavior, and promised to be a better roommate towards Musika. Musika initially did not want to let it slide, but forgave her in the end because she could tell Carabelle was being sincere.
The two would soon have a better relationship afterwards. While not truly "best" or "close friends", they were at peace with each others' company. Carabelle would stay quiet while Musika would be studying, and Musika would do her work somewhere else when she knows Carabelle would be having a long conversation with someone on her phone.
Because Carabelle's college stay would be delayed for a year, the two graduated around the same time. They promised each other that they would keep in touch, but after Musika's disappearance from the public, Carabelle has been left to wonder what had happened to her old friend.
