body type;; Overall Sapphire is pretty much your average person. She doesn’t think of herself as pretty or ugly. She’s just who she is and if anybody has a problem with that then it’s their problems not hers. She loves to wear her long blond hair down whenever she's at work or she goes out. Having spent years with her hair pulled back during dance recitals or practices, Sapphire enjoys the feeling of the soft strands blowing against her face or brushing over her back whenever it's worn loose. Although she may hold parts of it back with a clip or even in the occasional ponytail or french braid, Sapphire lets her hair go free.

From years of dancing, Sapphire’s body is toned and trim with hints of muscle under her skin. Sapphire doesn’t believe a girl should look masculine so while she may lift light weighs, Sapphire doesn't lift anything that will build up too much muscle mass. Sapphire also loves to jog and through her sorority sisters from UCLA, Sapphire has also picked up the habit of doing yoga on a fairly regular basis. This keeps her body lean and toned as well as keeps her stomach flat while keeping her limbs and body nice and flexible. They also help to tone her muscles while keeping her from getting to bulky. She likes her feminine body the way it is and believes if she had been meant to look masculine then she would have been born a guy.

personality;; For the most part Sapphire is extremely easy to get along with. She's fairly mellow and fun loving. She's always the first one to suggest going out for dinner or or drinks at the end of a workday and has actually gotten a few employees who go out with her regularly on Friday nights for dinner and/or drinks. She loves to dance and although she's not the best singer in the world, Sapphire loves to go out with friends to karaoke bars whenever she can get them to agree to it.

Sapphire does however have her darker side and although it doesn't come out too often, Sapphire can be one of the biggest bitches you'll ever meet. Years of dancing have caused her to be extremely disciplined and she is a firm believer of there's a time for a play and a time for work. She hates people slacking off at their job and while most everybody loves her, those who work with her on a regular basis have seen her blow up and go off on people who she has felt weren't doing their job properly. Sapphire actually operates on a three strike policy and she tells people who work for her that like in baseball, if you fuck up three times then you're out. She believes that if a person gives their job their all when they're supposed to then things get done a lot more quickly and it allows for more play time later.

father;; Antonio Parrino (47 Years Old/Restaurant Owner)
mother;; Reagan Parrino (46 Years Old/Dance Instructor)
siblings;; Ruby Parrino (26 Years Old/Dancer) & Pearl Parrino (26 Years Old/Choreographer)

history;; Sapphire was born as the youngest daughter to Antonio and Reagan Parrino. Antonio's family owned a small Italian restaurant in Beverly Hills that was a couple blocks away from Rodeo Drive and it was there that Antonio met Reagan for the first time. Reagan had come into the restaurant at eighteen looking for a job while she attended UCLA to study dance. Having developed an instant crush on the young dancer, Antonio got his father to higher the inexperienced New York native and it wasn't long before the two were dating. With Antonio attending UCLA to study business and minoring in the culinary arts, and with Reagan there studying to be a dancer, it was rare that the two were ever apart.

The two had been dating for two years when Reagan discovered she was pregnant. Although Reagan had originally wanted to be a professional dancer, she changed her direction when she found out she was pregnant. Instead Reagan decided she wanted to become a dance teacher to which Antonio was all for. The two also decided they wanted to marry and with both their parents blessing, the two married by court a few months into Reagan's pregnancy. Since both were still in school they applied for school housing for married couples and not long after they moved into their new home their twin daughters Ruby and Pearl were born. The two finished school a couple years later and Reagan was working as a dance instructor at a local dance school when she discovered she was pregnant again. Deciding to take time off from work, Reagan stayed home to raise the twins as well as to prepare for the arrival of her third daughter.

After Sapphire was born, Reagan took one more year off before she decided to go back to work but she didn't want to work for somebody else. So with the help of her husband who was now running the family restaurant, Reagan was able to lease space in a building in Beverly Hills where she opened up her own dance studio. Ruby and Pearl were able to begin taking classes right away but Sapphire wasn't able to start for another year. Once she began however Sapphire, like her sisters, shone at it. They all seemed to have inherited their mothers skills and all of them loved to dance.

Aside from daily dance practices in jazz, tap, ballet and other styles of dance, Sapphire's childhood was fairly normal. She went to school like other kids, had to do her homework and even had chores at home. By the time Sapphire got to high school, she was extremely well disciplined and while her other friends were out partying or getting drunk, Sapphire was off at practices or at the gym getting in some exercise. When she was finally old enough for college, she got accepted like her both her parents and her sisters before her to UCLA.

Originally she wanted to be a dancer like Ruby, or a choreographer like her Pearl, but after one of her dance classes was invited to participate in a music video that was being shot on campus, Sapphire developed an interest on what went on behind the scenes. Changing her direction a bit, Sapphire decided she wanted to be a music video producer and ended up graduating at the top of her class.

Having interned at Aurora Records while she was attending UCLA, it wasn't hard for Sapphire to get a job there after she graduated. At only twenty three and only one year after graduating, Sapphire has already began to climb the ladder of success. She is only just starting out her career but already people are talking about her work and she knows that it won't be long before she's among the best that the business has to offer.

let's see what you got;;

rp sample;;

"I'll be fine on my own dad. I've been into the city alone before so don't worry." Arianna said as she gave her father a quick hug then took a step back to look up at the older panthiras. Her father looked down at her with a slight scowl on his face but her own features were set to match his and after a few moments he let out an exasperated sigh. As he nodded in the direction of the door, Arianna grinned and gave him a quick kiss on his cheek before she turned and practically ran out of the room. She knew she had to get out of there before her father changed his mind so without stopping to talk to anybody else in the pack, Arianna made her way out of the house. Despite being over a hundred years old, Arianna's father still treated her like a child and it drove her crazy. Stepping out of the house, Arianna made her way towards her Corvette and after putting the top down she headed away from her families plantation and into New Orleans.

Once she reached the city, Arianna weaved in and out of traffic until she arrived at her destination. She smiled as she looked up at Kalo Bira but scowled when she noticed there was no parking on the street. Turning the corner, Arianna found a parking spot at the end of the block where she quickly maneuvered her car to fit. Quickly putting the top up on her car, Arianna then slipped out of her car after grabbing her cell phone. Tucking her cell into her back pocket, Arianna reached into the glove compartment and grabbed her forged license which she quickly tucked into the other back pocket. After making sure her car was securely locked, Arianna began to walk away and headed for the local bar.

Listening to the click of her heels as she walked along the sidewalk, Arianna adjusted the shirt of her outfit a bit before arriving at the front door of the bar. After showing her ID to the bouncer, Arianna made her way into the bar and looked around. There were a few other weres in the bar and even a couple vampires that Arianna made a mental not to keep an eye on. She didn't normally fight with vampires but she didn't like them leading innocent humans away to be their meal. If she saw that then she would have no choice but to follow and then her father would be upset with her because she had gotten into a situation where she could get hurt.

"Can I get a madori sour please." Arianna asked the bartender as she leaned over to hear Arianna's order. With a nod and a smile directed at Arianna the bartender stepped away to begin to make her drink. As the bartender made her drink, Arianna turned her back to the bar and began to look around the bar to see if she recognized anybody.
