For this one, my first impression was model but I wanted something more than that but than that and was going to skip it but then I saw the 2nd pic and it struck me more as a celebrity like the wild TMZ pics you see/hear about. But there’s a nonchalant vibe to it, especially in the 2nd pic. She’s completely unbothered.
Which is what lead to my idea for this.
She’s an heiress.
She’s rich, smart, pretty, and powerful. A very deadly combination. My initial idea is she’s American but I could easily switch that to make her Russian or European, which would changer her character and role in a story depending on what direction I want to go with. But she’d be based in New York City no matter her nationality.
She’s single and while is often seen out at parties and events, it’s more to promote her image/brand/company. She doesn’t enjoy it and tolerates it because she has to. She’s the type of girl that guys tell her she should ‘smile more’. But it doesn’t bother her when they say it to her because she knows any guy that does is beneath her and not intitled to get a reaction from her.
She knows she’s better than most people but sees it as a simple truth, black and white fact, not as a snobby, nosed turned up thing. She lacks emotional IQ to understand people that have to struggle their whole life and weren’t born into money. She’s not vindictive, she’s just 100% ‘Can’t Relate’.
Mostly she’s bored with her life and wonders why she can’t find something she’s passionate about like those around her. But she’s not depressed or lonely either. She seems too indifferent to let those kinds of feelings bother her either.
Depending on the story/plot, she could easily be the villain or the victim, which I think makes her more interesting in that regard.
Being an heiress, she travels with a full security team, at least 4 to 6 guys including a driver, that are all professional and are Secret Service level, or just below, in terms of skill. She doesn’t get annoyed by their presence and sees their value and generally listens to their advice/recommendations but is not attached to any of them and expects them to protect her no matter the danger to them, hence their big paychecks.
Still not sure about her relationship with her parents. Maybe cordial or businesslike since she’s taking over someday but not angry or bitter at them. Maybe she has a younger sister by a couple years and that’s the one person who brings her fun and joy.
That could be a good angle for a story.
