IC Info Basics Name: Captain Lola T. Blanco Nicknames/Aliases: Cap, or Blanco. Age/DOB: 34, Jan 3 Marital Status: Widowed four years ago. Orientation: Heterosexual Physical Appearance: She stands a hair over five foot six, and sports an impeccably well-maintained physique; well muscled, but lean with a bit of wiry definition and feminine curve in the right places. Lola's overall obsession regarding her body is health and strength rather than appearance, and trains to to that affect. She prefers to keep her dark hair long, and though it is always clean and usually trimmed, it lacks any certain style- either up or down is about the extent of it, and she's never dyed or permed it. Her eyes are large and a dark mix of brown with a touch of gray in the right light. She has slight, feminine features and a wider mouth with full lips. Her skin is a dark, natural copper tone- a rich combination of Spanish, Native American, and African color. Ethnic Identity: Hispanic/Creole Usual style: If she's not in uniform, she's in something comfortable and practical. Lola doesn't consider herself a tomboy, but skirts make her uncomfortable, and she despises heels with every fiber of her being. Distinguishing marks: Paisley tattoo on her right shoulder. Medical issues: Fit as a fucking fiddle, thankyouverymuch. Personality First Impressions: Authoritative Bitch served with a side of biting sarcasm. Five Positive Traits: Quick on her feet, rational, strong leader, thick-skinned, compassionate. Five Negative Traits: Emotionally guarded, natural introvert, pessimistic, prone to moodiness, strong resistance to change. Three Strengths: Great health, good shot, pilot's expertise Three Weaknesses: Insecure, full of regrets, lonely Biggest Goal: She really doesn't have any. Biggest Fear: Becoming like her mother. How they view others and how she views herself: Lola tries not to think too deeply on the motivations or intentions of anyone around her. It's easier to be a soldier when you can follow orders without worrying about such details- hell, it's easier to go through life in general. It's been her way of detaching herself, a protective mechanism that keeps her from the hurt that comes with personal investment in other human beings. Unfortunately for Lola, she can't simply weed out or ignore her empathy. Or her loneliness. Favorite/Least Favorite Food: Thin Mint cookies/any meat off the bone Animal: Owls/snakes Color: Dark green/red Book: Where the Red Fern Grows/Catcher and the Rye Movie: The Producers (but she'll never admit it)/Predator Holiday: Christmas/Halloween Scent: Night blooming jasmine/bad body odor Song: Anything by Tom Waits/anything by the Beastie Boys Biography Hometown: New Orleans, Louisiana Parents: Wanda and Fredrick Banks (both deceased) Siblings Lawrence Banks (deceased) Significant Other: Hector Blanco (deceased) Friends: n/a Enemies: n/a Pets: n/a Schools attended: Cabrini High (NOLA), LSU for one semester before dropping out and enlisting with the US Air Force Religious affiliation: Non-practicing Catholic Occupations (past and current): Worked at the local Dairy Queen in high school, before enlisting Important Events: 1998 - Lola decides to follow her father's footsteps and enlist in the US military- she chooses the Air Force under her uncle's advice, and falls in love with flying. 2002 - Lola marries Hector Blanco, a Marine she met while serving in Germany.
