Name: Alani

Age: 19

Birthday: April 5th

Alani has long, frizzy, ginger hair; that flows down to her mid-back. She has sunset-orange eyes to complement her hair and she has pink cheeks that contrast against her peach-colored skin. She, typically, wears skirts and blouses, that are of a lighter color (white, tan, yellow, et cetera). However, she likes to wear dark-colored leggings or tights, to go with her outfits (black, brown, dark grey, et cetera). She, also, wears booties or any kind of tall shoe; whether they be boots, high tops, even heels (when she feels like it).

Alani has a very bubbly personality. She finds it easy to talk to all kind of people and she makes friends, quite, easily. She is well-liked and she is very sweet to whoever she may be talking to. She likes to give gifts, whether there is an occasion or not, and she loves to "attack hug" people as well (she just runs to people and she hugs them when they least expect it). Despite her all-loving, friendly personality, she can have some, fairly, frequent, drastic mood swings; although she tries to keep them in control when she is around people. Typically, she can go from super happy to depressed in a heart beat. But, if something is really annoying her, she can go from super happy to enraged in a heart beat, instead. 

Alani is an only child and her mother had died during childbirth. Alani discovered this, from her father, when she was 10-years-old, but, surprisingly, she took it very well. As a 10-year-old, she talked about how her mother was an angel watching over them and that it was okay that she wasn't there with her and her father. Her outlook on her mother's death has changed overtime, but she has grown to accept it.

Alani has two sets of grandparents that seem to have polar opposite personalities. Her mother's parents are a very happy and fun duo, whereas Alani's father's parents seem to be more sullen. Although Alani loves both sets of her grandparents equally, she tends to have more fun with her mother's parents because they are always trying to have fun with her, and their personalities are similar to hers, so she can relate to them better. 

Alani's father inherited his parents character traits famously. He is timid and he can't meet the same energy level that Alani has, however Alani's father loves her all the same. Alani's father, partially, fell in love with Alani's mother because of her personality and how much he admired it. He admires Alani's personality, just the same, as he did with her mother.

Alani loves any and all kinds of fruits and vegetables. She is very open to trying news foods, so she enjoys lots of foreign foods as well; from different kinds of Asian noodles to different South American cuisines. However, there are some foods that she can't bring herself to enjoy, those foods are eggplant, octopus, and corn. However, it isn't, particularly, the taste that she dislikes about those foods; it is the texture. Alani isn't very fond of the chewy texture that she gets from eggplant and octopus and she can't quite place the texture of corn; regardless she dislikes it.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0AmU3ZVdJ

Despite Alani being a very high-spirited, energetic person, she hates sports with a passion. It isn't the physical activity that she dislike about it; it is the fact that she isn't very good at sports. However, Alani is very good at drawing, painting, sewing, and calligraphy; so she spends most of her time mastering those skills, over time playing sports. Alani, also, loves reading and writing, and she specializes in writing poetry. She enjoys writing poetry on pieces that she has recently, or that she is planning to, painted, because she believes that it brings out the emotion that she put behind the painting.

Contest holder, if you so wish, you may skip over this part of my entry, because it is not describing my character's personality or appearance in any way. It is introducing why I designed her the way that I did. 133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCnvOAgqwd

So, I chose to make orange soda because it is one of my favorite sodas, and it was also the first one I thought of doing. I chose the name Alani because "alani" means orange in Hawaiian, and I really liked how "alani" sounded. Orange soda is a fruity and bright-colored drink, so I could just imagine Alani being a joyful, radiant sort of person that can light up a room; which explains why I made her personality the way that I did. The likes and dislikes don't really have any meaning behind them, I just wrote what I felt would match her character best! But, regarding her dislike of sports, I felt like contrasting her personality with her dislike would make her appear more interesting, so that is why I chose to have her dislike sports.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlI989F9tMG
