AMOR NIRVANA DULCE VALDEZ the type of kisses where teeth collide, when she laughs the heavens hum a stun gun lullaby. those twinkling vixens with a shining spiral eyes, their hypnosis goes unnoticed when she's walking by
basics
name & nicknames; amor nirvana dulce valdez is a very spanish name, with a splash of buddhist from nirvana. her parents named her these, love, freedom, and sweet, wanting her to truly grow into the meaning of her names. her only nickname is mor, nothing really else coming easily from amor.
gender & sexuality; mor grew up in a liberal home, so she was never forced into gender stereotypes. this lead her feel feminine, but not wholly, making her identify as a demigirl with no preference for pronouns (she's referred to by the feminine pronouns she/her because of her outward appearance). amor's love hasn't ever been restricted by gender, making her panromantic and pansexual, but she has a preference towards males and masculinity.
birth date & place & age; she was born in san francisco, california on february fourteenth, another reason for her name meaning love. amor will usually be seventeen or twenty, depending on the thread, but her age can range from sixteen all the way to twenty-two.
appearance
hair & face; amor's face is rather circular and on the smaller side with a chiseled jawline and full cheeks. dark brown hair with some natural lighter streaks in it frame her face matched by her dark eye brows and her chocolate brown eyes. mor's lips are on the smaller side, but her smile is big and bright, lighting up everything around her.
body; due to constant working out, amor has a very muscular, but very petite, build. she's toned, having abs, biceps, calves, and many more defined muscles. she weighs in at only about one-hundred and fifteen pounds, all of which being muscle. standing at five foot four and pair that with skinny shoulders and hips, she's not menacing by any means. lastly, because of her puerto rican roots, her skin tone is a gorgeous olive color.
modifications & scars; amor has a septum piercing, which she doesn't wear all to often. she doesn't regret getting it, but did it on quite an impulse and with little thought, so she feels like it's not always right for her. next are her soccer scars; years of playing soccer resulted in her legs being cleated on a regular basis, so she has some scars left from those days. her only other noticeable scar is one across her right forearm from falling into a cabinet that had plates in it when she was trying to hide from her stalker.
personality
the first traits people see from amor is usually how FRIENDLY and SWEET she is. she has always been this way, introducing herself to anyone and everyone and treating them with unconditional positive regard. even when people criticize her or her views, she still treats them like she would anyone. mor rarely ever expresses distaste for people and if she does it's only to her very close friends, family, or boyfriend, she'd prefer to try and get to know them before making snap judgements; she still gives extra chances after she knows them, though, she just wants to find good in people. often because of this, amor ends up being taken advantage of when people figure out just how FORGIVING she is. she will easily put herself in a bad situation for someone else or to help someone else, so she makes it pretty easy for others to use her. amor doesn't allow herself to be used, but she is so determined to find the good in everything she often looks past bad treatment. upon realizing that she is being used, it really upsets her. this is the second way the girl ends up finding herself in existential crises. all she wants to do is put love out there and only wants to see good, so when she sees a lot of hate and terrible things, is weighs heavily on her and discourages her enormously. these times are some of the only ones when she isn't completely OPTIMISTIC; her extreme optimism always wins out. because of amor's nature, most people who just meet her, and some that know her quite well, think she is innocent, but that just isn't the case. she isn't a "bad girl" by any means, but she isn't trying to be all that is pure. she drinks although she's underage, she parties, she has sex, she has done a lot of things and knows a lot of things, so she's far from innocent. in fact, she's a bit of a TEASE, well a major one depending on who's asked, she finds entertainment in being that way.
another major aspect to amor is how OUTGOING she is. she's always willing to put herself out there, unafraid of embarrassment or judgement. this most likely comes from her desire to experience as many things as she can; she almost never turns down an opportunity. amor is easily EXCITABLE, especially concerning new things and the many things she's passionate about. her face lights up whenever anything she even lightly enjoys is brought up, so it happens all the time. most of this has guided her and aided her to how SELFLESS she is. amor goes way out of her way for others, when asked and even when she isn't. she likes to do things for people that they can't or won't do for themselves; or just help them out to reach their goals. she's quite IMAGINATIVE, so it's come in handy in her quest to assist others. through all her actions, amor shows excellent and unyielding determination to obtain her own goals.
history
amor valdez was born to mateo and malina valdez in san francisco. mateo was an immigrant from puerto rico and malina was a san fracisco native. amor was their second child, being born nine years after their first, a boy named beau. the two young parents were very liberal, possibly hippie, and wanted their children to grow up as accepting and loving people.
her childhood was a happy one. she was close with her parents, excelling in school, everything her parents could've hoped for. as well, despite the nine year age gap, beau and amor grew a very tight bond. beau was always willing to hang out with her and take her everywhere and amor wanted to be just like her big brother. he unsighted her love for soccer and taught her everything she knew about the game; it became their thing. she went to every one of his games and he practiced with her whenever she wanted. amor truly adored him.
at thirteen, her world began to change. she was just beginning to love standing up for a cause and protesting as well as seeing soccer more seriously and not just something she did with her brother. beau was off at college, a few hours away from the close-knit family's home, and he was with the wrong people. his fun-loving and sweet demeanor did a one-eighty, making him almost a new person. one fatal day beau was picked up by his friends, unsure of what they were doing, but didn't decline the ride. the group ended up robbing a convenience store and killing the clerk. beau had only been in the car, but was still arrested and charged with accessory to robbery and homicide, sentenced to seven years in jail. the family is convinced the trial was rigged, though, believing the judge and jury were racist.
the whole family was heartbroken, but it hit amor the hardest. she lost almost all her motivation and couldn't even bring herself to look at a soccer ball, let alone play. she was mad and upset that her brother was dumb enough to let this happen and at the people who said her brother deserved to be put away.
