Simona is nothing if not modest. Everything she wears is pleasant and demure and would never be too revealing. She does enjoy being ladylike, however, and so doesn't cover up everything in giant sweaters or anything of the like. She likes simple, however, and nature-y, so she doesn't go for things like jeans or really designer clothes. Her favorite things would be longer type skirts and tank tops or sweaters; easy, but pretty, and fitting with her personality. She usually wears sandals, unless the mood takes her elsewhere, and she abhors cold weather, since it means extra layers that she doesn't feel like wearing.
Added to her ladylike dress, she tends to move like one would expect a lady to. Very graceful, very floaty, she hardly ever moves too fast or too slow [..well, depending on your definition of fast and slow] and she tries not to do anything awkward. She isn't too terribly clumsy, mostly from years of babysitting and having to be the more agile person in a situation.
Simona, with her natural look, also looks very stereotypically Italian. Her hair and eyes are both a deep brown, which accentuate her olive skin. Her eyebrows are also fairly thick, just like her hair, which is very typical in mediterranean cultures. And that thick hair goes far past her shoulders, almost to her midback, and is not quite straight, but definitely not curly, either. It gives her a soft, floaty sort of appearance.personality
Being the oldest girl in the family of seven [and second oldest child], Simona has developed quite a few "mom" tendencies. While making friends isn't completely difficult, despite her shyness, she finds that she thrives more in environments of younger children. They tend to flock to her, since she is calm and nurturing, more like a mother than a teenager. Of course, that does not make her less of a teenager than anyone else--she enjoys her friends and is not opposed to a night out of partying [...well, okay, maybe a little opposed, but not really]. But she does tend to shy away from boisterous or rebellious activities, especially sports, though her family is a very sporty family. She's not very adept at making friends this way, however, her quiet, unassuming nature make it much easier for people to just naturally latch onto her.
And yes, Simona is quite quiet and unassuming. It's very easy to not notice that she's there, since she tends to move in a little personal bubble. She's not very outspoken [unless you count to her brother/siblings] and she doesn't particularly like straying from the norm. When she speaks, her voice is soft and calm and she hardly ever raises her voice. Even when she babysits, which is really her forte, scolding is done gently and she has almost never yelled at anyone [unless, again, you count her brother]. Likewise, with her quiet, calm nature, it is fairly easy to startle her. She generally assumes that the world around her is quite as serene as she is and when a loud noise or sudden event make that untrue, she tends to be awkwardly alarmed.
Unfortunately, with past events that have transpired, Simona tends to get nervous around large crowds and older boys, especially bigger older boys. And when she gets nervous, she tends to revert to Italian, almost as if she never learned English in the first place. She can be very old fashioned at times--chivalry is never dead in Simona's world. She is very unlikely to make the first move in anything--ever. If someone wants to take her on a date [and yes, people do take her on dates frequently], they can ask her. That doesn't mean she's helpless, however. Indeed, she can be quietly stubborn and insist on doing things for herself when someone else [generally of the male persuasion] offers to do them for her.family & history

HISTORY:
Live in Birmingham, England. Have a summer home in Sorrento, Italy.
It didn’t take very long at all for George Weston to convince Lucia Arraco that she was just as in love with him as he was with her. He was on a year-long vacation in Sorrento, Italy at the time and had instantly been taken with the young beauty. A few months later, they were married and not too long after, they were expecting their first child. After Phillip was born, they packed up their belongings and moved across to England, to Birmingham, where George was originally from.
It was there that, three years later, they had Simona who, despite the fact that she lived in England, took to Italian far better, even as an infant. It wasn’t that she couldn’t speak English, no, she caught onto things quite quickly, but she always just seemed more inclined to speaking Italian. And indeed, where her brother took after her father, she seemed to take after her mother far more. It wasn’t too many years later that the third child was being born. Though Simona was only three, she was already showing a more mature streak. By the time Araminta was three, Simona was looking out for her just as much as she could.
And this maternal instinct only seemed to get stronger as she got older. Perhaps it was because of all the time she spent with her mother, who she adored, rubbing off on her or perhaps it was simply because she had always been very much a homebody. Either way, as more and more siblings were born [four more, to be exact], Simona gladly took on the babysitting responsibilities. She wasn’t really into going out, so it didn’t matter too much, although she did occasionally go out with her friends.
It was on one of these such occasions of going out that Simona and Phillip’s best friend connected. She had always known him, of course. He and Phillip had been best friends for years. Zack, like Phillip, was four years older than Simona so, when she was just at the tender age of 14, he was already an adult. But that didn’t stop her from falling head over heels for him; he was an older man, an older man she’d known for as long as she could remember, and she trusted him. She never expected, though, for him to return any sort of attention and so, when he started making eyes at her, she was beyond thrilled.
It didn’t take too long for them to decide that they wanted to be together, though they both agreed it was best not to tell Phillip. He had always been quite overprotective, after all, and Simona was only fourteen. That was just asking for trouble. So they started dating, spending as much time together as possible. On some level, Zack did care about Simona romantically, but there was no denying that their age difference caused problems. Simona, of course, was inexperienced, so she listened to everything Zack said, whether she should have or not.
Had Simona not been blissfully unaware of Zack’s activities, she would probably have made certain that they were no longer. Despite the fact that he had had a steady girlfriend for going on two years, Zack went out and partied with Phillip frequently. Simona never gave this a second thought; she trusted Zack and he obviously told her that there were no women involved. Still, she trusts Zack and being sent off to boarding school was hard. But Phillip had gone here and it was now Simona’s turn and she was ready and waiting to get it over with.dream form
Simona's dream form is an angel. Though she is quiet and unassuming, in dream form, she manages to stand out strong. She has the same facial features but, of course, the addition of feathery white wings. She doesn't necessarily wear a white robe, but she does wear all white at all times in the dream world. She is far more outspoken and commanding than she is in the real world; her strong and more powerful side showing through.
