We had diamonds and we had pearls,
Champagne life like a daddy's girl
Face Claim: Natalia Dyer
Player: Cassiopeia
CHARACTER NAME: Vanessa Leigh Bolton
AGE: 20
CURRENT RESIDENCE: Teronna
APPEARANCE: Vanessa takes more after her father's side of the family with her lighter hair, and eyes to match his. She's still very petite, despite being a grown woman, and her wide eyes and enthusiastic demeanor add to the childlike effect. She likes to wear dark colors (black, gray, and deep green) when she can, because she feels it makes her look more mature, although she has a soft spot for soft pinks.
MARITAL STATUS: Unmarried
FAMILY TIES:
Father: Haywood Bolton | Mother - Deceased | Older Brother: Xavier Bolton | Older sister: Farrah Bolton | Middle Brother: Preston Bolton | Cousin: @vance
POSITION/OCCUPATION: Nobleman's daughter--marriage material and socialite
TITLE/RANK: Daughter of a Marquis (Lady Vanessa Bolton)
GRAMARYE GIFT: None.
PERSONALITY:
Nessa has been daddy's little princess since the day she was born. Anything she wants, she gets, and she wants it all. She loves parties and dancing, although when she's looking for quieter pursuits, she likes to sketch pictures of her family. (She says they're the perfect models, since they're all so good looking.)
Vanessa is a brat, just like her brother, and loves to point fun at others' terrible decisions in hair, clothing, and relationships. She looooves gossip. She wants to know what's going on with everyone all the time, and treats it like a kind of game. She simply doesn't understand why everyone doesn't make the same choices she would.
While she is constantly vying to be treated like a Grown-Up Lady, Vanessa is still a sheltered little girl. She sees "Daddy" as the one who makes the world go round, the real king of the castle, and Xavier is her knight and shining armor. (Farrah is the evil queen, but don't tell her that. She'll get a big head.) She has no clue that all her favorite people are up to some truly terrifying things when she isn't around.
She's also fiercely jealous of the attention that her brother Preston shows to other women--she's not looking forward to losing him to marriage.
Hey, I want it all, don't have to choose
And when the heart wants what it wants, what can I do?
LIKES: emeralds, emerald green, pretty perfume bottles (she collects them), attention, dancing, drawing
DISLIKES: not getting her way, not being taken seriously, being short
HABITS: pouts and stomps her foot when upset, almost always has a bow in her hair
SELF IMAGE: Vanessa is a bit of a paradox--she loves to be spoiled, but she wants everyone to see her as a grownup, too.
REPUTATION: Spoiled brat, airhead, kiss-up
HISTORY:
Vanessa is the baby of the family, essentially expected to look pretty and get married. She can totally handle that. As expected of any well-to-do lady, she can sew, dance, recite poetry, and even make a flower crown. She's also a decent embroiderer, although she prefers sketching and watercolors.
She did love her mother, although she wasn't as close with her as Preston was. Her loss hit Nessa a bit more powerfully in the way it affected her father--his change in attitude was a blow to her. She works as hard as she knows how to make him smile and improve his day whenever she can. She's often disappointed when he's busy and doesn't have time for her.
She spends as much time as she can with her brother Preston, and the two of them 'Pressy and Nessy' are known to terrorize those who can't hold a candle to the Boltons.
