well she wants to be a singer in the band, maybe i'll give the girl a hand and a microphone. looks like she's all alone, she can bring a friend though she's not my kind of friend, she keeps staring me out with her ol' black 'n' blue eyes. and i can take her dancing just to give the girl a chance, and i was never that good at being nice when i should, i guess that she'll forgive me right before she tries to kill me, 'cause i sold her on yesterday's come-take-me-home eyes.
FULL NAME her full name is araminta cosimi vello, with regard to her grandmother and grandfather's names, arabella and costello.
NICKNAMES she mainly goes by arlo, but close friends tend to call her minty or ara for jokes and for simplicity's sake.
ALIAS(ES) as for aliases, fans endearingly call her blip or sticks, sticks as short for drumsticks and/or fishsticks.
DATE OF BIRTH she was born on december first, making her a sagittarius.
GENDER she was assigned female at birth, and continues to identify as such.
PRONOUNS she prefers she/her pronouns, but doesn't mind they/them pronouns either.
SEXUALITY she identifies as bisexual, as well as greyromantic. she rarely ever feels romantic attraction towards others, but it's not completely out of the question either.
PLACE OF BIRTH she was born in salvador, brazil, and spent most of her younger years there. she moved to the united states when she was about fourteen with her mother, and spent four years in san francisco, california.
RESIDENCE she currently lives in los angeles, california.
OCCUPATION(S) she is the creator and the drummer for [i]filth! the band.
ALIGNMENT her alignment is neutral good.
TEMPERAMENT her temperament is sanguine.
LANGUAGE(S) SPOKEN she speaks portuguese fluently, and english quite well, though she does get tongue-tied from time to time. she sort of understands and speaks a bit of spanish, as well as italian, but nowhere near enough for a real conversation. she also knows american sign language, but that's a work in progress since she's still learning.
TRAITS joyful, happy-go-lucky, bright, optimistic, kind, honest, outgoing, bold, adventurous, confident, generous, diligent, charismatic, ambitious, impatient, gullible, childish, impulsive, reckless, clingy, dramatic, stubborn, indecisive, tactless, etc.
PHYSICAL HEALTH araminta is hard-of-hearing, she actually began losing her hearing in early high school when she began practicing her drums with the band more often, slowly but surely. it wasn't noticeable until they were beginning to gain momentum with the band that she got her hearing checked out and it was deteriorating. she does have hearing aids, and is learning ASL slowly in preparation for the future.
MENTAL HEALTH araminta has had ADHD since she was young, so she has it pretty "under control" by this point. by that, she is medicated and remembers to take her medication most mornings. she can never get any practice in without her medication since she gets distracted easily, and doesn't focus.
HEADCANNONS
 about her nicknames: actually a pescetarian, which is pretty known to her fans as well, hence the nickname fishsticks. drumsticks for the drums, not the chicken. as for blip, it was mentioned in an interview with the band once when they called her a "dot on the stage from a distance, a little blip," as a joke. and her social media handle, @stickintodrums (which she uses for all social media), is unknown to fans if it's supposed to be "stickin' to drums" or "stick into drums." everyone hopes it's the second one cause she accidentally tore/stabbed a drum in her drum set at the end of the concert once and no one wants to let her live it down.
 known for her meme-able tweets on twitter, and her cute aesthetic on instagram. oh, and you know, being the drummer of filth!, but mainly the memes. also responds to people on twitter and instagram all the time, and fans like that.
 brought an all girl band together in middle school that went by "dollz" and araminta thought they were so cool. and then they broke up because they were upset that not all of them had the same "popularity." and then brought filth! together in the united states and they've been pretty good since.
 no one ever thinks that she is a cat person, and yet, she is. she has two cats named jiji for kiki's delivery service, and haku for spirited away. she loves them both with all her heart even though she's pretty sure they don't feel the same way.
 always drumming, the type to drum with her fingers during conversations or just hanging around. loves coming up with new, random beats, always has her eyes on the prize. she loves music, and pushes herself really hard when it comes to the drums. it takes a toll on her, though, when she feels stagnant or uncreative, as if she's letting herself and all her bandmates down.
 not really sure how to feel about the fame. she's proud of them for having accomplished so much, and for making music that not only they want to share, but that people love. and yet, she never expected for them to be in the spotlight so much. it overwhelms her, even if she's not the most recognised person in the band, so she can't imagine being the frontwoman.
 loves meeting fans, but always tries to keep all eyes off of her. values her privacy more than ever now that they're known everywhere. however, is also the type to invite fans to get coffee or something and chat whenever she has the time.
 wants to make a difference with the kind of voice and platform that she has, but doesn't exactly know how to go about it quite yet. so for the time being, she settles for sharing her thoughts and memes and funny events in her life.
