--- SENSITIVE This is one of Giovana's strongest traits, however, it is also one of her weakest. It could be considered her strongest because unlike most closed off people, she isn't afraid to reveal how she feels. However, it can also be considered her weakest because she can seem almost 'too dramatic' and have tough problems maintaining good relationships. She does have bit of a sense of humor, but because of her rough past, she does take some things people day to heart. She is known as a big cry-baby. She can almost cry about anything. Those PETA commercials on TV can have her balling out in tears. She isn't one to start arguments, so when she finds herself in them she just wants to curl up in a ball and just cry. She tries to stay away from arguments because she tends to get her feelings hurt very easily. She has been told over the years she is over-emotional but that is just 'in her nature' as she likes to say. One thing she fails miserably at is hiding her emotions, and they show right on her face. When she is upset, her eyes will be to teared up not to recognize.
--- AWKWARD Gio is an overall awkward person. She never knows the right things to say. She says the wrong things at the wrong times. She isn't good at maintaining conversations, and providing to a decent conversation. She becomes uncomfortable whens he stares in peoples eyes for too long. She is obsessed with 'Twilight' and 'Star Trek'. She'd rather text than talk on the phone. She's just socially awkward? She's hard to make friends with and doesn't know how to keep friendships. Some may label her as an 'outcast' at times. She just doesn't know how to fit in, she doesn't like big crowds.
--- CARING Mean? Giovana? Not even. Gio finds it very difficult to be mean to a person. Even to the people that strongly dislike her. When some one has a problem she tries to help them find an answer. She's volunteered in numerous amounts of places. She believes in serving for the common good, that is why she does so. She hates it when people are mad at her and always tries to work out issues. If she can be a help to anyone, she tries her best to be that help - this is because she knows how it feels to be without things some people need. She believes strongly in love, and she believes the best way to receive love is to give love, if this is to a friend, peer, family member, it doesn't matter.

LIKES: piano, violin, dancing, acting, painting, all types of music, meeting new people, performing, her 'family' , her friends, feeling special, boys, cooking, going to the mall, shopping, nature, animals, and books.
DISLIKES: jerks, sluts, dark melody's, vanilla, the dark, scary movies, her insomnia, mean people, the naive, big crowds, unoriginal people, and polka-dots.

Giovana Emerson was not always an 'Emerson'. Yes, I stand corrected. She used to be Giovana Baltana, the daughter of an L.A prostitute and a drug dealing father. Her parents Roberto and Analese were living with her grandparents, and once Analese became pregnant at seventeen, Giovana's grandparents kicked them both out. They moved into a small duplex, where Giovana grew up most of her life. Her childhood was not an easy and simple childhood. She always went to school with dirty shoes, torn up jeans, and back pack that wasn't stable enough for her. Roberto and Analese did love each other, but they didn't know how to show it. Giovana had to go into her room, close the door, and cradle one of her stuffed animals as she grew up listening to her mom and dad scream at each other. Apparently her mom wasn't providing enough money, and her dad was an idiot.

Roberto became abusive toward Analese when Giovana was eight years old. Analese's mom never brought home the men she dealt with, but the thoughts that crept into Gio's mom throughout her ages was already creepy enough. Watching her parents struggled she decided she wouldn't be like them. She wouldn't be abusive with some one she'd love, and she'd have more respect when it came to her choice of job.

Over time Analiese began to slow down on her prostitution and began to dislike Gio. Gios mom began to become distant with her daughter, as the days would pass by they'd talk less and less. Maybe Gio's mother felt like Gio was the reason she had to do what she did? It was when Gio was eleven when she went to Clarissa's, her best friends, home and told Clarissa's mother what had really been going on at home. Clarissa's mom called Child Protective Services on her parents and Gio was placed in foster care. She was in an doubt of group homes with cruel little kids, where she went through a lot of emotional stress. She was thirteen when the Harper's adopted her, the process was long and drawn out but it happened. She was fifteen when she moved to Philadelphia, and started to attend the Emerson Academy. She majored in acting, one of the things she loved when she was in and out of group homes, she'd join plays as an escape but fell in love with what she was doing. Now she resides at Emerson Academy, with a rough past, but a steady future, and a big dream.

Leila had just finished her shift and there was no luck for tonight, instead of being the predator, she became the prey - silly her, tonight she went out alone, usually she asked Josh or another friend to come out with her, but tonight was different. she barely escaped with her life - was this some big reality check that was going to cause her to change her life and turn everything around? No - it just gave her a bigger intention and reason why she should kill these blood sucking freaks. they used their skills and their fastness, and strength for evil. Leila was fully aware that there were a few vampires that only fed off of animal blood. she didn't really care about that at all. they all deserved death. sure, killing an animal for blood wasn't different then slaughtering an animal for it's meat but - Leila didn't care. nothing could knock some sense into her stubborn mind. anything without a pulse wasn't worthy to be alive. Though, they were typically dead right - anything walking around her city wasn't 'dead' to her.

Oh God, if only sully - her boyfriend, knew the crazy life she lived. She was a murderer, a murderer killing murderers..if that made any since, and the government paid her for it! but hey - this was better then living on the streets, wasn't it. Especially in Alaska. Sully and she had been dating for quite a while now and she was absolutely in love with him. he knew she was moody and so on and so forth, but fortunately, he didn't know exactly how crazy she actually was. Good - she preferred to keep it that way.who would have ever thought Leila Petrov, the basket-case - would be dating one of the most adorable guys ever? She was in loved sully, and knew hey were a good match. he made her feel sane, and just like this little girl she swore she'd never act like. She found herself smiling out of nowhere when she thought of his face. his smile, his eyes - everything about him was amazing.

Leila had finished dressing herself for the evening, and now she was just waiting on the driver to get there. she was going on a date tonight -- Yes, the hunter was going on a date..they could have normal lives too, right? Leila was a little difficult when it came to Sully, she didn't know why, maybe it was because she was trying this love thing out? She was over-protective, clingy, and super emotional when it came to him. however, He could handle it and he didn't back out no matter how many flags were thrown up. when the car approached, she left her flat and walked downstairs, to enter the limo. Ha, sully was a sucker for her - but she loved it! He knew she did, obviously. She chuckled a little, looking out of the window as she approached the set up. why were they at his job? Oh god, she would be so mad if he made her dress up just so he could like - who knows - have her watch him cook! What the hell!?

She got out of the car once the door was opened for her and smile as she saw sully, standing there - looking super nervous. She approached him dressed in this " Sully, what the hell?" she smiled, walking up to him, wrapping her arms around him before she spoke again she leaned in to kiss him. " what's going on?" she asked with a small laugh, noticing the placed was closed down. Her heart skipped a beat. It his was so adorable, what did he have planned? Following him inside she looked around, " aw, Sully.." she said softly to herself, no one treated her as special as he did. Living life as the 'bad' girl and the 'rebellious' one never had its perks, but with Sully, it did? She had no idea what he actually had set up for her, but she was about to see, wasn't she. so when they approached the set up she smiled, " this is very beautiful" she said, her cheeks turning a light red - ugh she hated that. The view was beautiful, and everything smelt so good - oh yeah, she scored when it came to sully. "you're amazing."she told him, looking over at him, trying her hardest to stop her eyes from watering up. usually it was dinner and a movie but not this. He had gone out of his way this time.

Hi, I'm KEKE and I'm SEVENTEEN years old. I'm KIND. This is my FIRST application. I found NO REGRETS, JUST LOVE from LOOKING THROUGH ADS.

Okay, I'm going to start off by saying I can see the potential in this application, but there are certainly a few things that need work before I can accept it.

First of all, No Regrets is a literate site with fairly high standards and although we do understand that it's easy to make common mistakes, you do need to watch your spelling, grammar and capitalization. Things like names lacking in capitals and incorrect use of words like 'to' and 'too' and 'their' and 'there'. Easy enough things to fix, just make sure you use a spell check and read through your posts. (:

Secondly, some of the personality paragraphs seem, (at the moment), to contradict in certain aspects. Perhaps some further explanation would help us to better understand -

• How is being sensitive both her strongest and weakest trait? Is it because it makes her seem weak but is the most prominent aspect of her personality?
  
• If she cries at the drop of a hat, would a serious movie make her joke and laugh, realistically?
  

Just a few small things you need to look at.

Lastly, I'm a little bit concerned about the amount of drama in her history. Although it's understandable that some people have rough backgrounds, some of this is a little bit unrealistic. If a ten year old girl was running to a friend's house on most nights, most probably worked up, I highly doubt that friend's mother would've let it slide without talking to her parents. Also, her mother was prostituting her daughter at younger than ten years old just to get a little bit extra cash? This girl should be a lot more messed up than she is. Maybe try to tone down the drama a bit, because it seems as though her entire history is full of it, and I'm not entirely sure how plausible it is for someone with a background like that to have had a learning environment stable enough to be let into a place like Emerson.

One last thing - does the fact that her surname being 'Emerson' have anything to do with the name of the actual school? Just seems like an odd choice considering. (:

I'm terribly sorry if this seems a bit nitpicky, and if you need a hand with anything feel free to PM myself or one of the other administrators. I'd recommend having a look at the application again, taking on some of my suggestions and working through it. Once that's done give us a nudge and we'll re-evaluate.

For now, I'm going to pend this.

fixed!
i lightened up her dramatic history.
i changed her last name - i barely noticed that! smh.
i changed her 'random' personality to 'awkward', which would be realistic for a girl with her past, yes?
i fixed my grammar mistakes!
hope this works <3

Just be sure to watch your spelling and grammar, as well as the dramatics.
