Name: Angelina “Angie” Cortez Gender: Female Age: 19 School: George Hunter High School Hobbies and Interest: Partying, playing the piano, music, video and sound editing, the vaporwave scene Appearance: Angela Cortez is of Hispanic descent, specifically from Venezuela. She is 5’5” and she weighs 140 pounds. She has moderate curves with a slightly smaller waist, creating an almost-hourglass shaped figure. She is considered to be pretty by a certain number of people, and she makes sure to keep it that way. She has an olive complexion, black, thick hair she keeps in a high ponytail and a pair of brown eyes. Her skin is clear from her strict face cleaning routine and a particular care toward her personal hygiene. Her teeth and buccal hygiene are an important part of her beauty routine. She brushes and flosses her teeth in between her meals. Her teeth are naturally straight and artificially white from her methodical uses of teeth whitener. Her nose is well-proportioned and centered on her face, adding more symmetry to her face. She has a v-shaped chin with a pair of plump brown red-ish lips placed in the middle. Her clothing style can be considered vain. She often emphasise her body with tight clothing and tries as much to dress in a feminine manner. She mainly wears shirts she bought online related to her favorite musical genre – vaporwave – and wears skinny jeans. During special occasions such as a wedding, she wears one of the many cocktail dresses of her mother. On the day of the abduction, she was wearing a vaporwave-related shirt with “$UICIDEBOY$: KILL YOURSELF” written on it in a speech bubble but had it covered with a chartreuse sweatshirt with the school logo on it due to the language used on it, a pair of skin-tight jeans and had a pair of black shoes. Biography: Angelina was born from the newlywed couple of Karen and Phillip Cortez in the city of Chattanooga, Tennessee. Her early childhood was marked by the traditional way of her family: her mom stayed at home, taking care of her and, soon, her siblings. Her father was the sole income of the household, working as a technician at the local electric plant. Their low income made them live with her maternal grandparents and they led a frugal and modest life. She has one brother, Ramsey (18), and three sisters, Maya (15), Aimee (14) and Flora (12). Her family being Catholic and still practicing, Angie was baptized quickly after her birth. She was raised with the Holy Scriptures, went to church every Sunday, often spent time with her family doing volunteer work and attending Sunday school. While her siblings were compliant, Angie was the black sheep of the family. She often rebelled against her parents, refusing to go service or praying with her family during dinner. She also showed a lot of signs of impatience, fidgeted in her sit quite a bit, disrupting the audience and making noise as the preacher talked. As the older sister of the family house, she was often held up as an example despite her young age but because of her strong resistance to religion, she was regularly scolded by her parents. Her parents enrolled her in piano classes before starting elementary school and bought an electric piano. Angelina was initially uninterested until her first class. She thought it would be similar to her experience with Sunday school. Her teacher, Mr. Dwyer, taught her and she quickly found an interest in playing the piano. She wasn’t particularly good, above average at best, but enjoyed the classes. Her parents used the course as a bargaining chip with her when she was misbehaving, especially during sermons. Elementary school did not help Angie with her behavior. It was then that the school psychologist realized that Angie had a severe problem with authority, often resulting in fights with her teachers and throwing tantrums. While using piano classes worked for a while, Angelina’s temper often got out of control at school. She disliked being told what to do and especially being forced to stay seated for long periods of time. Her grades were bad, she grew restless after a few hours at school, she had few friends because of her impulsivity and anger, and her parents struggled with disciplining her since nothing was working. Her parents, searching for a solution, went to the school psychologist, who referred them to a childhood psychiatrist. After testing and a short hospital stay, Angelina was diagnosed with ADHD and medicated. She was taking doses of Ritalin, which were covered by Phillip’s health insurance, to deal with her symptoms. Her behavior showed signs of improvement. She stopped spacing out during classes and it quieted down her temper. She still had fights with her parents and teachers but they were greatly reduced in size, time and intensity. Due to her disorder, she had to retake first grade because of her bad grades despite her improvement during the end of the year. She felt ashamed so she worked harder the second time taking first grade. She was able to get more time during tests and have separate settings which helped her to achieve better grades and concentrate on her work. She was able to achieve good grades, especially in art and music. She made friends during elementary school but most of them left her before she received proper treatment due to her aggressive behavior. She was, however, quickly joined by her younger siblings. She initiated herself in Maya and Aimee’s friend group despite being older. She was accepted by the younger students as one of their own. She also made friends with people in her grade after receiving treatment, becoming somewhat popular. Despite her rough start in her academic career, Angie has good memories of her time spent in elementary school. Angelina’s relationship with her family was tight. She was very close to all of her siblings, spending most of her time at home with them. She babysat them sometimes, but it was a rare occasion because of her stay-at-home mother. When her younger siblings needed help, she was there for them and vice-versa. Middle school was mainly a continuation of elementary school. She continued to take piano classes and doing recitals, her relationship with her family was still very close and she continued to have decent grades. She took as an elective class in multi-media. It is where she was introduced to video and sound editing. At first, she wasn’t good and took a lot of time to learn how to use the various programs to edit clips. She even disliked it, at the beginning. However, her piano teacher, Mr. Dwyer, gave her a task to edit clips of the latest recital. Without the pressure of the academic setting, Angie started to enjoy it. As of now, she continues to edit the clips from the studio. Angelina started a YouTube channel during her 8th grade. She started by making lyric videos for songs from artists or bands she enjoyed listening like My Chemical Romance. Views on her videos were eclectic: most of them barely went over the bar of hundred views but lyric videos of new and popular songs often hit in the thousands. Her YouTube channel was a source of self-confidence for Angelina. She bragged about it at school and to her siblings. Her parents didn’t really understand what she was doing but they were happy for her. Catholicism never worked with Angie. She finds going to church boring, praying to God a burden and having to thank everything to Him annoying. However, she realized she couldn’t voice her feelings due to her status as the eldest so she kept going to church to give the good example to her younger siblings. She continues to put up an act when she is with her parents and her family but when in private or with friends, she openly voices her dislike about her religion. She, however, still prays to God in private when she feels stressed out or in need of help, finding comfort in the idea of a higher being helping her out. Angie was invited by her boyfriend at the time, James Knight, to his prom in her sophomore year. She went with him and had a good night. She was then invited to go to the after-party and it was there she learned about the joy of partying. She lost her virginity to her boyfriend before the party, smoked weed and drank some drinks. She knew she couldn’t tell her parents about it because they would react poorly, so she hid the fact what she did at the party. They suspected her of drinking a bit but not of having premarital sex and doing drugs so they let her go. The boy, James, broke up with her few days after, leaving a sour taste in Angie’s mouth. After that party, she started to seek them out carefully because she enjoyed the experience but disliked the boy. She talked about parties with her friends trying to get invited to them, and even sometimes planning them out with them. She often parties despite her parents disapproving because she enjoys having a good time with her friends. While they know about their daughter’s party habits, they don’t know about her recreational use of drugs and her sexual encounters with boys. Her younger sister, Maya, attended one of the party that both of the sisters were invited and Angie, when she learned about her attendance, forced her to go back home. Maya complied and went home and gossiped about it to Flora and Aimee but nothing came out of it. Her party life is punctuated by hangovers, good times with her friends, enjoyable discoveries and a lot of new friends. Her party habits have interrupted her treatment for ADHD, sometimes leading to her not taking her medications. However, since she takes her Ritalin before going to school, she rarely misses it but on days of hangovers or waking up late she doesn’t take it. It leads to her spacing out and struggling to concentrate. This has led to fights between her and her family, especially with younger siblings taunting her about her party habits and threatening to reveal it to her parents. They, most of the time, meant in a joking way but Angie still feels wronged by them and insults them. Other than that, she is able to cope with her disorder and sometimes takes Ritalin before going to parties to stay awake during the night. She avoids being scolded by her parents by staying at her friends for the weekend sometimes, or staying at their house until she isn’t suffering from her hangover anymore. Her parents dislike their Angelina's party habits and the attempts of controlling her aren't working. She rarely lies about where she is going but doesn't divulge everything to them. She says she's going to a friend's house but doesn't say about anything about the party she will be attending, leading to her parents not really knowing what she is doing. They try to ground her, stopping her from going out but she often just sneaks out through a window and she comes back at dawn. Sometimes, she does listen to her parents and doesn't head out, but it's very uncommon and it's often because she isn't feeling well. Her little brother, Ramsey, came out as gay to Angelina during her last year of high school and confessed he wanted to come out to their parents. Angelina was supportive but also apprehensive due their heavy religious background. To help her brother, she scouted ahead for him and started to bring up the topic of LGBT students at her school being bullied. Her father ignored her but her mother took it as a sign and had a discussion about the potential homosexuality of her daughter. While Angie denied it, her mother continued to push Angie and warned her that if she was indeed gay, she needed to stop because she would be kicked out of the house if she continued on that path then asked about Ramsey which she also denied. Ramsey took the information that Angie gathered and decided not to come out to his parents instead opting to save up some money. She feels strange about the situation. She is conflicted because she loves her parents but she also loves her brother. She plans on helping out her brother but, at the same time, she feels she is betraying her mother’s trust when she denied that Ramsey was gay. She feels conflicted and doesn’t know what is the right thing to do, leading to anxiety about her home life. Angie’s personality varies on the time of the day. At school and around her family, she is a perfectionist. She tries her best to get good grades, be admired by her classmates, be friends with the most people she can, be kind to everyone and be pretty. When she is alone or with her closer friends or at a party, she is more relaxed about the rules and doesn’t care about how she looks like as much. She enjoys having a good time and she wishes she didn’t feel the need to behave like a perfectionist and try to be perfect at everything she does, but she feels forced because of the example that her parents are setting her to be. She feels that since she is the example for her siblings, she needs to be perfect around them so they can be as good as her. The only sibling she doesn’t feel she needs to act like that is with Ramsey, she feels okay with opening up to him. Angelina found out about vaporwave during her last year of high school during a party. She likes the sound and the aesthetic. What originally started as preference became quickly a favorite, she enjoyed the beats and the musicians behind it. She also enjoys the aesthetic, feeling a connection to the retro vibe it gives off while looking futuristic at the same time. She made a SoundCloud account and quickly befriended fellow fans and some artists. She enjoys the scene, feeling like she is in a community that caters exactly to her need of good music, aesthetically pleasing images and having a creative outlet. She still plays piano on a weekly basis, less than she used to. She strayed away from classical music, however, preferring to cover more actual songs. She often feels she needs to master a song before going on to the next one, and feels bad she doesn’t achieve her standards of success. She hates uploading versions that aren't perfect, which leads to anxiety because she feels she is doing a bad job taking care of her channel. Due to her musical background and with the help of her piano teacher, she was able to acquire free sound editing programs and she tried to make a song. It wasn’t a success on YouTube but she started to do more of them, often inspired by popular culture. For example, she used samples of Charles Manson’s interviews and segments of her school choirs for her songs. She started including her own recording of piano and voice samples. She goes by “&G3L” on Soundclound and YouTube, where she posts most of her songs. She gained a small following, often keeping them updated with demos and life updates on her twitter. People at her school either like or dislike Angelina because of her personality. She tries her best to be overly nice to people which can rub people in the wrong way but also due to her perfectionist ways, she is known to be an annoying and demanding partner in group projects because of her high expectation and zealous ways. She has quite a lot of friends, especially party-goers and fun seekers. With her good grades and passion for music, she revealed to her family she wanted to become a sound engineer. She plans to go at the Mesa Community College where she had been accepted and her parents are more than happy to help her achieve her dream despite their modest lives. While she wants to become a sound engineer, she still thinks a lot of about making a Patreon and making a living out of her art. She knows it’s probably a pipe dream, but she still toys with that idea. She is also eager to live on campus because she would be away from her family, and would be able to let loose on her inhibitions. Advantages: Angie is a pretty and likable young woman, she has many friends and is well-known among her peers as a nice girl. Despite not being religious, she finds strength in praying and it helps her calm down in stressful situations. Disadvantages: Some people grew to dislike her due to her personality, especially since she attempts to look perfect to everyone. She will also undergo the possibility of going several days without her medication, leading to bigger and bigger flare ups of her disorder. Edited by Leaf, Feb 10 2018, 01:53 PM.

Howdy howdy, I'm Ruggahissy and we're going to be looking at Angie. What exactly does her shirt say on it? I'm fine with her wearing a shirt with foul language if she's got the sweater on so the school folks wouldn't clock her for it, but if she takes off the sweater on the island it'll be good for people to know what she's wearing when they check the profile for reference. " Her early childhood was marked by the traditional way of her family: her mom stayed at home, taking care of her and, soon, her siblings, and her father worked as a technician at the local electric plant" - This sentence is a bit confusing. Soon, her singling and her father worked at a local electric plant? Whose siblings? Why do the siblings and mom and dad all work at the electric plant? " Angelina was initially uninterested until her first class. She thought it would be similar to her experience with Sunday school but she was wrong." - You can stop the sentence at "school." The second bit is a bit isn't really in keeping with the tone of profiles. "Catholocism never worked with Angie." - "Catholocism" is misspelled. Should be "Catholicism" "she openly voices her miscontentement about her religion." - "Miscontentment" isn't a word. Maybe "dislike" ? "they were referred in childhood psychiatry." - Referred to a childhood psychiatrist? About the ADHD: I was a little surprised when it came up because it didn't seem like there were symptoms of it in the profile beforehand. This was the first I saw that she had trouble focusing in class and while it's true that kids with ADHD can be irritable and angry, that seemed to come more from the fact that she disliked being made to go to church and had problems with authority. Does she not like church because she gets restless? Is it symptoms of the ADHD that cause friction between her and her family or is it religion and being told what to do? I'd like maybe a mention or two of the ways ADHD affects her before we get to the point where she's getting a diagnosis. " Her behaviors shown signs of improvement:" - Should be "Her behavior has shown sign of improvement" " Her parents didn’t really understand what she was doing but they were happy for her." hahaha " She lost her virginity to the boy at that party," - Is "the boy" her date James? "Talking about it to friends, sometime planning them out with them." - This is a sentence fragment. There's no subject of the sentence. What is she talking to them about or what is she planning? "She often participates in them despite her parents dissapproving it." - Again I don't know what "them" refers to in this sentence. Also "dissapproving" should be "disapproving." "Her younger sister, Maya, attended one of the party she was invited to and she threatened her to head back home before she would get angry. " Threatened who? Angie? Before who would get angry and why? Is the sentence that Maya attended a party and she told Angie she was going home before Angie could get angry? Or did Maya come to the party, Angie got angry and told her to go home? " be kind to everyone and looking on top. " - What does "looking on top" mean? "She enjoys having a good time and she wishes she didn’t feel the need to behave like this but she feel forced because of the example that her parents are setting her to be." - Behave like what? "Her party habits have interupted her treatment for ADHD," - "Interupted" is misspelled and should be "interrupted." This says she has withdraw when she doesn't take her Ritalin in the mornings, but according to withdrawal.net, there usually would be no withdrawal symptoms from someone taking it as medicated for ADHD. There would only be withdrawal symptoms if someone is abusing it or taking more than the prescribed dosage. If it does become habit forming the symptoms are fatigue, depression and disturbed sleep patterns. - If her parents are so religious, why are they ok with Angie going out to parties at all? It says they know about the partying and a bit about the drinking, but not the weed and sex. So why are they fine with her going out to parties? How does she get away with coming home drunk or high? - In the hobbies and interests section it says she's interested in the "vaporwave scene." Can you elaborate on that? We mostly hear about her making the music and uploading it. - What kind of piano music does she play? Does she use any of that in any of her online music? - How does she feel about her parents generally and what is her relationship with them? What does she think of the big religious influence in the family and how did she feel when she found out her brother would be rejected if he comes out? Is she planning to help him or something when she leaves home? - We don't hear a lot about how she's nice or a perfectionist. Last I remember, she works hard following being held back in school, but I don't remember her being a perfectionist. I think that's it. What I'd recommend is maybe for the future a grammar/spelling reader to take care of a lot of the smaller things like spelling. Post when done! |

Alright cool, that's most of everything. One additional question: - Since her parents are pretty strict and they seem not to like her going out, are the consequences? Do they try to stop her from going out or do they punish her when they think she's gone to a party? Does she lie about where's she's going? |
