Hi y’all, I’m Blue & this is Yara! It’s been a hot minute since I’ve rp’d so I’m excited to be here! Feel free to hmu for plotting! 

welcome aboard, yara whitney, student #5. we are excited to set sail with you !  has anyone told you that you look like zendaya? according to our records, you hail from los angeles, united states,  prefer she/her pronouns, are a woman and are here to study marine biology. we also see you received a spot on the ss university because of your money — we won’t tell anyone. during your first few weeks here, other students said you were + charismatic, + compassionate, but also - brazen. it sounds like you spend most of your time at the game deck. upon checking your luggage, we noticed you packed a surfboard. hopefully your roommates don’t steal it!

Born & raised in LA and she was born into moneyyyy

More or less grew up on the beach–she’s always liked water from a young age and between living right near the ocean & all the yacht parties, etc. she just really took to the water

She’s super active and has always had trouble sitting still. She always really liked sports so growing up she played soccer, tennis, basketball, baseball, volleyball, boxing (only for a little while then her parents FLIPPED and made her quit b/c they were scared she’d get seriously hurt), and surfing–she absolutely loves surfing. You name it and she most likely played it at least for a little while.

 Honestly got the Cali surfer-girl vibe down pat; she’s usually pretty chill and go w/ the flow and it takes a lot to get her to pop off just because she like…doesn’t care? Like she’ll most likely just stop talking to you if you annoy her which is probably her toxic trait.

Don’t mess w/ her brother, Santos, tho ‘cause she’ll fuck you up. 

Her mom never really liked that she was so sporty, especially when it came time to go to fancy functions and she’d ripped her dress from skateboarding in it or had band-aids on her arms from playing too rough

One of her mom’s friends made an off-handed comment about how beautiful she was, her impeccable skin, bone structure, etc. when she was younger and mentioned modeling and her mom really took to that idea and started having Yara do print ads, etc for high-end brands.

Yara was annoyed by it when she was younger but as she got older she didn’t mind it quite so much because it’d get her out of schoolwork sometimes and it got her mom to stop nagging her so much. She started to realize that if she could do this and show up looking presentable at events to appease her parents, she could do her own thing when she wasn’t. 

That continued on into adulthood, even walking in some shows, etc. She was essentially just modeling and socialite-ing during her early adulthood until she decided to go legit recently. She kind of…got bored with what she was doing. Like there was no real excitement or challenge and it was never something she really wanted to do which is how she ended up here. 

She’d always liked animals growing up, especially marine animals and when she was little she wanted to be an animal trainer at the zoo so she decided she might as well study marine biology on the ship. She actually likes the challenge of it so far.

She likes to party but doesn’t necessarily always need to get fucked up to have a good time--she definitely had her little hedonistic phase which was exacerbated by the fact that she was modeling and put under a lot of pressure and it was what everyone else was doing but she just got tired of it. She’ll still party and drink and smoke and turn up but not all the time.

Really likes to travel (then again who doesn’t??) and has been to many countries throughout her life but it was always in a way that was pretty luxurious and grandiose--this will be different/a change of pace because they’re not staying at the nicest most expensive hotels and suites

She didn’t really have many friends until she got older b/c when she was a kid the bougie circles her family ran in thought she was a bit of a heathen tbh

Can come off as standoffish or intimidating to people but she’s usually pretty friendly and chill unless you disrespect her or do something to piss her off. 

Few Fast Facts

Certified disaster bisexual 

Is a twin - her and her brother santos are twins

Speaks several different languages including being fluent in Spanish, French, Swahili, and Mandarin. She also has some level of proficiency/knows at least basic Italian, Korean, and Portuguese

She’s a vegetarian/on the verge of vegan but can’t give up cheese & eggs

Adventurous and thrill-seeker--loves roller-coasters and all that

Still pretty spoiled in a lot of ways i.e. has never done laundry a day in her life and never plans to

9/10 not wearing a bra 

Really likes dolphins--wants to specialize in them as a marine biologist

Still working on an official connections page but some connections of top i’d really like are: 

best friend trio - these two are her best friends, be it that they’ve known one another for a while or they became fast friends on the ship and they most likely get into shit together

study buddy/major classmate - someone else who’s study marine science or something similar to her. maybe they don’t like one another but grudgingly have to admit they both have talent/skil or maybe they bond over their shared interest and end up working on different projects or research together

romance - smthn romantic (very detailed, ik). but could be enemies to lovers, exes that had to break up for w/e reason but never stopped carrying about one another, maybe they’re friends w/ benefits but secretly like one another, maybe it’s old fashioned enemies to lovers or friends to lovers, i’m open to w/e! 

Pretty much anything! i’m dtp, if ya know what I mean ;) (down to plot)
