.
--- COLDGrowing up in a very strict enviornment, Svetlana has carried the same cold exterior with her throughout her entire life. Though she has feelings and does feel emotions like everyone else, she jus has trouble expressing them. The ability to connect with her inner-emotions has never been there. Needless to say, Svetlana has never been the girls to blush when kissed, or even cry at a funeral. In her eyes emotions are for the weak, and that was one thing her father taught her never to be. In fact, it is because of his teachings and constant pushing that Svetlana is the woman she is now.
--- DETERMINED/HARD-WORKINGGrowing up in the competitive world of dance, Svetlana has always been a hard-working and 'go-getter' type of girl. She strives to be the best at everything, and won't stop until she gets what she wants. It is her determined attitude that has actually helped her make it so far in the world of dance. Because she never gives up or stops working hard, she has gained respect from several of her peers, along with improving her dancing. Simply put: Svetlana is the girl who tries her hardest to be the best and will not let ANYTHING get in her way.
--- CARINGThough to some this may contradict her coldness, Svetlana is actually a caring woman. She cares severely about her students, and although she may seem harsh or down-right cruel at first, she does it out of love. Much like her father, Svetlana has a hard time showing that she cares; the way she pushes her pupils is just a method of 'tough love'. She believes in loving her students enough to let them go. Unlike most, she knows a student can never truly learn unless you allow them to fend for themselves, which is what she does for her students. So Svetlana may not be Mary Poppins, but she does care about her students and their impending future.
LIKES: - Dancing, Healthy Foods, Children who care, Being alone, Respect, Chivalry, Teaching, Swimming, Coffee, Learning.
DISLIKES:- Love, Disrespect, Her father, Russia, Bullies, Emotions, Crowds, Loudness, Liars, Thieves.
Svetlana Dumas was born and raised in Russia. Her dad a typical business man, and her mom, well she basically sits on her ass all day. The two met at a local bar in Brazil (her father on a business trip) and as they say: the rest was history. A few years later they were married and had produced a beautiful baby girl. Her parents would wait until the baby was born to name her. Not to shy away from stereotypes, they named their beautiful baby girl Svetlana – named after her great grandmother.
As a child Svetlana was a pleasure to be around. She loved to be around the other kids and was always seen with a smile on her face. Svetlana was blossoming and becoming a beautiful young lady. Like most young girls, at the age of six Svetlana inspired to be a ballerina. It was every little girl’s fantasy and Svetlana was no different. So, as requested, the Dumas parents put their little girl in ballet. At first Svetlana displayed no skill what so ever; in fact, she was severely behind the other girls’ talent wise. Though this only caused her to try harder and by the age of ten she was finally getting the hang of it. But still, Svetlana inspired to be something greater - she wanted to be the best! Though ballet would soon take a backseat because of an unfortunate event: the death of her mother. She was enjoying her day at school when she heard the news of her mother’s death. The death of her mom hit Svetlana hard – she was practically her best friend and to say she was heartbroken would be an understatement. Her mother’s passing would be the start of Svetlana’s change from the friendly girl, to the mega-bitch that many have come to known today.
With her mother gone, Svetlana was at an absolute lost of what to do. Though her father had other plans; he wanted his little girl to follow her dreams, so he pushed her. He made sure she tried her hardest at everything she did, and soon enough Svetlana was not only excelling in ballet, but she was one of the best. Sadly all the pushing only caused Svetlana to close her self off even more from the world. Her father, too busy trying to mold the perfect daughter for his late wife, failed to see the error in his ways.
Svetlana would be dealt one final blow when the news came that she would be moving to America. The news was sudden and unexpected, but like all things her father did, Svetlana came to accept it quickly. Though the catch? He wasn't moving with her. Vladimir believed it was time to finally cut the cord, and that was exactly what he did. Upset at her father's cold and irrational ways, Svetlana was sent to America where she would attend none other than Emerson high. Fueled by anger and pure determination, Svetlana remained one of the top dancers at Emerson her whole highschool career. After graduating, it was no surprise to anyone that Svetlana decided to attend Emerson College, even though her father asked her to return to Russia. After four more years of hard-work and sweat, Svetlana had finally graduated. With her degree, and above-average dancing skills, Svetlana decided she would like to stay at Emerson, only this time she would be here as a teacher - the dance teacher nonetheless.
Alessandra smiled at her reflection in the mirror - it was nice to get rid of all the make-up and glam. Not that she minded being all 'dolled up', it was just nice to feel normal for once. Then again, when you were a supermodel, normality didn't seem to exist. Alessandra gave herself another once over; she looked perfect. A simple t-shirt and a nice pair of jeans, it was the perfect outfit. Though her mother would be turning in her grave at such a thought; she didn't believe in the art of dressing down. In fact, she was pretty sure the woman had never worn a pair of jeans. A sad smile played at Alessandra's lips at the thought of her mother who was no longer alive. But as always, Alessandra just shook the bad thoughts away and tried to focus on something else.
That's when her mind drifted to Gilbert, her firefighting friend whose house she was about to be on her way to. To most the scene would be kind of suspect, but Alessandra knew it was nothing like that. Gil was nothing more than a friend. A friend who was going to be mad if she didn't hurry up and leave!Alessandra quickly grabbed her keys off of the counter, and made her way out of the door. It was only a matter of seconds until Alessandra found her little, black BMW: a little gift she had bought herself when she signed her major contract last year. Getting in her car, Alessandra hit the gas and was off.
She almost knew the way to Gils by heart, the place was like the perfect hideout, and she always seemed to have a good time. Gil was one of the few people who accepted her as Alessandra the person, instead of Alessandra the model.It wasn't long before she was outside of Gil's house. It didn't take much time for Alessandra to run up to the door and release a series of light knocks. As always, Gil answered the door promptly with a smile on his face. "Gibby!" Alessandra knew how much he despised the nickname, but she couldn't resist the urge to utter it every time she saw him. "Great! Food! I'm starving. And I'm okay, been worse I suppose. You?" Alessandra said, trying not show that work was stressing her out a bit.
" I see you've cleaned up! Your girlfriend must be proud." Alessandra said jokingly. Truth was she wasn't sure if Gil was dating or not, she had been too busy recently to stop and ask. But that was what this night was for - for the two of them to catch up and play games! Well, more so of the former, but Alessandra fully enjoyed the latter of the two.

The only problem I really have with this is your sample. It starts at a weird place like it's been cut off and you repeat your characters name a lot. Do you perhaps have another? Also you need to change your display name to be uniform with the others and the title of your application needs to be your character's full name in lower case.
