Fears:
Doubt this would count but during her days in junior high, she suffered a brief yet gripping strain of anxiety that was triggered by the bullying and harassment of gangs both outside and most notoriously in school. At a time gangs both male and female dominated alike would pick on Carmen for either turning down their shakedowns (simply paying them in some sort of way money or otherwise so they'll leave her alone) or coming in to save a friend of weaker fellow student from getting beat up or worst. This lead from one time or another getting ambushed and beat up while no one is around, at one incident almost made the principle call an ambulance for her after suffering the wrath of one such mixed gang of thugs. Every so often she would find herself having nightmares of, despite standing her ground and being well fit in a fight, finds herself getting stomped on and punched to the ground suffering blow after painful blow. Its only when for a brief moment did she see a splat of blood would she wake up in a cold teary eyed sweat. As she grew up and in a new town in time, the anxiety slowly died down thanks to some counseling, playing sports, unwinding in video games, ect. But the mental scars from such harsh times remained to this day.

Known Family:
Father: Gary Banks - Medical clinic doctor
Mother: Amanda Banks - Law firm lawyer
Aunt: Monique Banks - Amanda's sister - Santa Vista PD Detective II


Born and raised from the streets of San Angeles, Carmen is your spunky yet kindhearted gal next door. For a while, she once lived in a law abiding yet rough neighborhood where once in a while you either bump into by accident by a short tempered thug or hear the routine ringing of gunshots, or both. It was times like this that Carmen slowly grew a tough personality to withstand it all, yet regardless never lost her compassion to others especially when keeping to her guard. Her hard working parents sometimes refer their daughter as their "special little diamond in the rough". A saying that, to this day for some reason or another, always causes Carmen to blush and look away softly whenever she hears that from her fokes mouths.

While she tries to stay out of trouble and away from criminals and all, its not until during her years in middle school does she get hassled and bullied by small gangs for stepping up for a harassed and troubled friend or for turning down their invites to join their gang or pay some sort of toll, or risk a trip to the emergency room. It was due to her working out around gym time and her workouts in sports, most especially basketball, that she's good with her feet and fists and stand her ground when in a fight. Though however even she would admit there were at times when a guy AND girl gang of 5-6 get the upper hand, usually finding herself at one time roughed up something fierce that she had to crawl to weakly walk the nearest principle's office to report what happened. She only bursts into tears when she was in her room.

By hard work and sheer luck all while in an attempt to raise their daughter in better atmosphere, her parents were able to get nice promotions for their work however, their new work places is in a different city; the Pacific coast city that is Santa Vista. Eventually they moved in and became new residents of the town, fitting right in thanks to her aunt and her mom's sister Monique, who happens to work as a Santa Vista Police detective. Currently her dad Gary works as a doctor of a medical clinic, her mom Amanda is one of the many lawyers at a small yet functional local law firm. And eventually as she grew, Carmen herself picks up a job at the local photocopy shop, while in between taking classes at the community collage. The days are trying at times no doubt but hey, at least pay is decent. Regardless of how she's living in the "upper class" neighborhood of Angel Crest, she never took this or the fact that her parents worked hard provide for the family up to this port for granted.

When not at school or work, she'd either be at home kicking back playing video games with her shoes kicked off, or on the court playing basket ball. A sport that she found herself enjoying and engaging in since middle school and eventually joining the high school basketball team, helping win a good game or two.....or three.

==========================================================================================

Can you tell this is an attempt to a proper OC bio? And despite the many works of their feet and such, my attempt to show my characters does have some sort of.....character? Sometimes is nice to know the guy/gal behind the feet, you know?
Anyway, once again does anyone remember this little spunky cat gal of mine Mics. characters-Areis Mondell by lawman54 ?

That's right, like Copman she too has gotten an up-to-date facelift. A change in appearance AND name change. During this change at first, I figured her new name Carmen would suit her abit more than Aeris. Speaking of which, during alittle research I discovered that (more spelled correctly) Aries is a zodiac sign that could very well fit her as far as one's such personality. At first during the name change I thought about turning her old name into her very own zodiac sign, but recently decided to stick to the sign of Sagittarius. If anyone has a better idea on what zodiac would fit this gal, please let this sorry dope know cause.....it was kind of a dozy much like creating the very bio^^;.

And by the by to whom it may concern, Santa Vista is a fictional Pacific/harbor city of mine based on the California cities of (just to name the few) San Diego, Long Beach, Burbank and Santa Monica. As well as based on the counties of San Bernardino and Rancho Cucamonga. And speaking of such said county, the very city and surrounding neighborhoods and communities is based sourly off of Rancho Cucamonga as portrayed in the movie Next Friday.

I sincerely thank :iconjammerlee: for not only doing this but bringing my mischievous cat girl to a updated light. Can not thank you enough for this:).
