A P P E A R A N C E
- Height: 6'0"

- General description: Tall and lanky, but with a lot of muscle on her bones and enough curves to be conventionally attractive. Her eyes are blue, and usually narrowed out of suspicion or annoyance. Sharp features and slightly tanned skin from her heritage. Most notably, long, thick, black hair that seems to flow slightly in the wind even when inside. Her hair is never up when around others. Missing her right arm right above the elbow, but with minimal scar tissue. Some small scars on that side of her body on her shoulder and side. Wears mostly tight leggings, boots, and oversized tank-tops or t-shirts, sweaters are a fav when cold. Loves doing grungy eye makeup looks.

- Any details?: Has tattoos, but all are covered by clothes. Almost uncomfortably tall when in heels. She is very aware of this and wears them as an effective power move.

H I S T O R Y
- Birthdate: August 31, 1995

- Country of origin: the Netherlands

- History: Raised happy and healthy by a very multicultural and accepting  family. Her mother was a language professor originally from England and her father was an immigrant from Bosnia to the Netherlands during the genocide there. Her parents loved her and supported her through difficult childhood years when mental illness and gender issues came up, leading her to becoming comfortable with her issues before most children even had issues. She was a star from preschool to her older years, and once of age, became quite a party animal. Met a tall, handsome boy named Alex at a bar and they quickly fell in love despite her past. Being 19, she was ready to see the world, and he had the money. The two traveled far and wide. Alex wasn't much of a tourist, however, and spent most of his time in the different countries helping those who lived in poverty conditions. His bank account was shrinking quickly, but almost none of it was used on the two of them. They lived small and simple, and made an impact wherever they went.

Once the money had run out for the most part, the two returned home to the Netherlands and got engaged. Romania moved back in with her parents and Alex got a small apartment for himself as they prepared to marry and move in together at the young age of 20. One night, after hanging out at his place, he was driving her home when a drunk driver swerved into their lane. Alex swerved out of the way but ended up hitting a large tree and then spinning into a nearby canal. He died in the crash, but Romania lost her arm. Grief-stricken, Romania went as far as she could to get away from any reminders of her fiancee. She ended up studying chemisty and computer science at the University of Phoenix in Arizona, and lives in a small apartment about a block away from campus.

P E R S O N A L I T Y

calm / aware / introverted

• Calm: Romania's calmness was instilled in her by her father. Even in times of great stress, it only takes her a breath or two to regain her composure.
• Aware: Romania is almost painfully aware of herself and her environment at all times. A skill gifted to her by her anxiety and upbringing. She thinks before she says anything and has impeccabily controlled body language to get her message across quickly and efficiently. Makes an uncomfortable amount of eye contact. Picks up on people's rudeness or anxiety quickly, which stresses her out, leading to her being a bit short and snappy. She stays calm regardless, but requires a lot of recharge time in her room.
• Introverted: Despite her loving family, Romania was raised in a culture where problems are kept to yourself and your immediate relatives. Because of this, it is rare that she reaches out to the team if something is wrong or if she needs anything. Small favors are easy to ask for, but personal issues are kept to herself to be worked out slowly like she was taught when younger. This can lead to a build up of negative feelings, but thanks to her methods, she keeps herself in a relatively mentally healthy state. This intoversion also extends to being EXTREMEMLY uncomfortable when others come to her to talk about their problems. Even if she is in a good mood, mentioning thir own emotional troubles is a huge trigger and you will quickly drive her away.
