PERSONALITY
This is me swallowing my pride; standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night

The term handful isn't just appropriate, it sums up Viola quite well. She is a vivacious and strong personality, which has always given her a sense of charisma most people spend their whole lives trying to achieve. Vi's never been one for responsibility when it doesn't suit her, and from a young age she had trouble expressing her emotions properly; especially when it concerned the vulnerable ones. Somewhere along the line, she began to see vulnerability as weakness instead of humanity, and decided she wasn't going to let herself be weak. Love always held a special place in her heart, though, but she learned early on that being in love was one way to weaken even the strongest person. Her tendency towards more selfish and hedonistic impulses pushed her away from that 'princess waiting for a prince' mindset she was born with, and she decided instead of being weakened by love she would help others find it instead. Viola has never really let herself experience love save for one time, convincing herself lust and affection were pretty much the same thing, and just the experience of finding love and feeling how weak it made her feel scared her enough to shut down the emotions she'd opened up to. Her confidence has always been high, and she was able to push the heartbreak to the back of her mind; or so she thought.

Her bond with her sister has always been strong despite their differences, and while Ophelia was always more responsible than she, there were moments she showed her true intelligence and compassion. It's hard to take Vi seriously sometimes, though if she really wants to be listened to then she'll make sure people pay attention. She's cunning and manipulative without being cruel, but definitely doesn't let anyone else get in the way of what she wants. All of which is a cover for the emotions she can't seem to accurately express and so cause her turmoil everyday; all of which cover the heartbreak she feels constantly once she realized she lost the one thing that ever really mattered. Losing Taylor hurt more than she'll ever tell anyone, and it's the most frightening thing she's ever realized. She finds it difficult to try and express her emotions or deal with them and not shut herself down, and it's almost exhausting trying to get her to change in this regard; though Vi really is trying.

Most see her as powerful, enigmatic, and incredibly outgoing. They know Viola is a love doctor, having an eye for chemistry and an inability to be ashamed of expressing herself, so there are many people at school who come to her with their problems. She says what's on her mind almost always, though being raised in the prestigious family she was has taught her how to be political and keep up a good front at all times. Vi is the more wild of the twins, and she can definitely be a walking bundle of contradictions and unexpected surprises. She excels in school and can swindle with the best of them, but then you can catch her twirling in the rain or singing along with the radio without a care in the world. Everything is on Vi's time and whims in her mind, and she is often late for things without realizing as punctuality isn't high on her list of things to focus on. She is a fan of the unexpected, but also knows when to be the proper and poised lady (though that part of her is always there whether she's playing it up or not).

A natural flirt, Vi has a way with people. Where her father and sister use the coolness and emotional inability to their advantage in other ways, Vi is all about interacting with others. She may not ever tell you how she's really feeling or confess deep fears and secrets to many, but she can make almost anyone feel comfortable. There is almost always a smile on her face, though most know Viola isn't a sweet and innocent little thing. She loves attention, loves affection, and is a fan of the idea of love; just not all the hard parts that go with it. Everything is fun so long as nobody asks too many personal questions, and Vi tends to close up and turn on the ice if she feels someone is digging too much. Her temper can be quite vicious if she's crossed, and most know not to piss her off or risk the vengeance that is sure to follow. She's a force to be reckoned with, especially when her talent for music comes into play, and it's next to impossible to figure out all the sides Vi has to offer; especially since only a select few get to see her completely stripped of all masks and walls, and therefore don't see the unique and beautiful gem that she hides beneath the facades and poise and flirtation.

HISTORY
I'd go back in time and change it, but I can't, so if the chain is on your door I understand


COMING SOON!

THE QUESTIONNAIRE
Maybe this is wishful thinking, probably mindless dreaming, but if we loved again I swear I'd love you right



THIS SECTION IS TO BE COMPLETED IN FIRST PERSON BY YOUR CHARACTER! THIS IS ALSO OPTIONAL.

1. What is your earliest memory?
I'm not sure how old I was, maybe three or four, and our father was home during the day for once. It was a rare occurrence, and even then I understood how important it was. Ophelia and I were learning to read, and instead of sitting with the tutors we ran straight to daddy and asked him to read to us. In a rare moment of warmth, he pulled us both up on his lap and read that whole story at least three times. I don't think I've ever seen my father smile as much as he did when we each managed to put a full sentence together on our own.

2. What is your favorite memory?
The first time Taylor ever kissed me. We were stealing some time away during the summer we met swimming down by a lake without anyone else around. It was one of those places that look like nature's own little piece of heaven, and the sunlight was so beautiful as we sat dripping wet on the branch of a tree where we'd tied up a swing. He was just smiling at me, and when I asked him what was so funny he told me he was just so happy to be there with me. Before I could even respond, he was leaning in and kissing me in that way that makes your whole head float away and your body warm from the inside out. I'll never forget a single detail of that moment.

3. Tell us about the worst day of your life.
This is a hard one, though not because I can't choose. I just hate thinking about it. It was the day that Tay told me that he loved me. The emotion in his eyes, the way those words seemed to shoot straight to my heart, it took my breath away. Almost immediately, however, the fear crept into my head. Knowing he wasn't what daddy would want, knowing I was no good with my emotions, knowing he was too sweet for me. It was all too much. Without a single word, I got up and walked away. Let me tell you, anyone who says a broken heart is a figure of speech has never felt the pain of one. I thought I was going to die it hurt so bad...

4. Tell us about the best day of your life.
Why do all these answers involve Tay? Haha. The best day would have to be seeing him at Mystic Veil. Despite how panicked I felt, the relief and happiness that he was actually there was overwhelming. I'd thought I would never see him again, and watching him walk into class that day made everything seem right again. I knew then, even if I was still too scared at first, that I would never be able to resist telling him how I really feel.

5. What is your favorite past time?
Matchmaking! Seriously, it sounds silly I know, but it is the best hobby I have ever discovered. I have a knack for chemistry and signals, which makes it easier, but I love spotting a good match and making it happen. Nothing is more satisfying then knowing I helped two people find the love I enjoy everyday.

6. Who is the most important person/ biggest influence in your life?
I think this one is going to have to be a tie. I can't choose between my father and my twin. Ophelia is the only person that grounds me, and truly my other half in so many ways. She is a good influence on me in as many ways as I am a bad one on her. I don't know what I would do without her. I also respect my father so much and he has influenced a lot about my life and how I deal with the world. He's an amazingly intelligent man and I hope to be that successful some day.

7. Whats the the most important lesson you have learned so far?
Don't try and run from how you feel. No matter what it will always catch up to you, so why bother putting yourself through the pain.

8. How would you like to be remembered?
As someone who lived life with passion and exuberance, yet did something worthwhile with her life. I want to be happy, but I don't want to make a dozen mistakes to get there.

STORYLINES

Ophelia Salem || TWIN
Viola and Ophelia may be vastly different, but they have inherent similarities that bring them close. They are as everyone imagines twins to be, though without the creepy co-dependency. Ophelia grounds her and reminds her when she's getting too ahead of herself, and she tries to loosen her twin up when she feels she's shutting people away. Viola considers her twin a best friend and other half all in one, and would be lost without her.

Taylor Dayami || TRUE LOVE
Their relationship is passionate and intense, and when they're not openly showing nauseating amounts of affection, they are most often together just enjoying being close. They are truly Mystic Veil's IT couple, especially considering her matchmaking reputation, and the not-so-secret fact about Taylor being her 'one that got away'. More accurately, he is the one Vi PUSHED away. They had a big gap where they were apart, separated by an ocean, and Vi convinced him she didn't love him. It was a lie built out of fear, and killed her to say, but she did it out of fear. Once Tay transferred to the same school, however, she could no longer deny her feelings. It was not easy at first, and she still has a lot of work to do, but she is quite happy he's given her another chance.



London Hardy || BEST FRIEND
What is there to say? London is Viola's best friend in the entire world. They are partners in crime, they are confidants, and they are a support system whenever the other needs it. Vi loves her best friend and would do anything for her. She keeps London out of her gossip, but she's not exempt from her matchmaking.

NAME || THE EX/MALE BFF
Vi was not always a taken woman. While kicking herself over the Taylor incident, she began an ongoing friends with benefits scenario with her best guy friend. The two are exceptionally close, they dated before Viola met Tay, and they are the type of friends who people sometimes mistake for a couple. She adores him and values his opinion, yet doesn't quite realize how the closeness might make Tay feel.



Gerard Salem || COUSIN
Having no brother of her own, Vi looks up to Gerard. She'd always wanted an older brother, and even when the two clash, Vi still finds herself having a soft spot for the only male Salem. This doesn't mean she lets Gerard off the hook when he's being annoying, but she does love him and consider him the brother she never had.

Brooklyn Salem || COUSIN
Brooke is one of her favorite cousins for a variety of reasons. Both girls share a love of aloofness, and Vi admires the girl's poise and cool exterior. She shares the emotional distance that Brooke possesses, and neither of them feel the need to entertain or put on a show for the other. They can be content in silence, and are both rather protective of their family despite not outwardly appearing nurturing.

Kali Salem || COUSIN
Kali is impossible not to like. Vi might be vastly different than her spirited and upbeat cousin, but the girls get along well. They are both friendly, both charismatic, and both very much people-oriented. She has a tendency to put people who might try to hurt Kali in their place, and very much wants to protect the girl's sweetness. Vi also enjoys laughing and being silly with her, and feels more carefree around the redhead than almost anyone else.

Detroit Salem || COUSIN
Detroit is one of Vi's cousins. Out of all the girls, she finds herself a bit distanced from Detroit the most. Vi doesn't dislike her cousin, in fact there are times when their leadership and tenacity mesh very well. She simply does not like seeing Dee destroy herself, and the overly sexual/addictive behavior is not something she can relate to; so therefore she tries to fix the problem whenever possible.
