Birthday: 29.06.1997.

3. Background
Manuela lived in an unstable household growing up, having only her
grandmother as a proper parent figure. However, her grandma died when
Manuela was only 12 years old, which left her to fend for herself.
In school she barely had any friends, so she found solace in drawing and
painting (as she did at home). She used it as an escape, she also had a natural
talent for it.
When she rolled in the most prestigious Fine Arts Academy at a rather young
age, she grew in popularity and more and more people came to know her
name. This is when her classmates and other people from the academy
started wanting to befriend her, but Manuela wasn’t too keen on other
people.
By the age of 24, she is living by herself with more than enough money to get
by due to her popularity.
5. Inner motivation:
Manuela loved all forms of art from an exceptionally young age, including
photography, painting, drawing and music. She was eager to find out as much as
possible about artists and musicians' personal lives. That led to her wondering
what else could have been created if some creative people have not been
influenced by the society and money at their historical period. She disappears to
let go of her previous life experience and to live by herself, where she can create
any kind of art and not be influenced by anybody.
Outer motivation:
Manuela has had a traumatic experience in her adolescence when her grandma
passed away. She was the one that encouraged Manuel a to pursue her dreams
and ignore the influence of others. After her death, Manuela started developing
fantasies about running away and travelling the most remote places of the world.
6. Appearance
Large, leaf green eyes, dark eyebrows,
light brown hair, pale skin, narrow face
with a dainty nose and small ears, full lips.
Body: tall, petite, lean, long limbs.
I believe that an existing actress that
would the most suitable one to play
Manuela is Milla Jovovich.
8. Interests and hobbies
Some of the most dominant interests of hers are fine arts, this includes:
- Painting
- Drawing
- Photography
- Pottery
- Music (piano)
- Poetry
- Literature (Shakespeare, Virginia Woolf, etc.)
Her other hobbies are knitting, baking, gardening, writing, etc.
9. Habits
Manuela tends to run late and lose track of time.
As she spends a lot of time on her own, she often speaks to herself.
Usually drinks throughout the entire day (mostly wine) and she is a regular
smoker.
She has no strict schedule and just lets the day take her where it chooses.
She goes with the flow
Sometimes she gets on a train and rides with no destination.
11. Important relationships
One of the most important relationships that Manuela had during her lifetime
was with her grandma. Her name was Valentina, she always inspired Manuela
and they spent a lot of time together even though they lived separately. She
was encouraging Manuela to pursue her dreams and to create art without the
influence of others. Valentina and Manuela had a lot in common. Manuela
started playing piano because her grandma did so. Valentina was an amazing
baker, had a small garden where she liked to spend time and would often
recite some of her favorite poets. All of this influenced Manuela.
Manuela had an on and off relationship with her boyfriend. His name was
Anthony and she really felt like he loved and cared about her, however she
could not say the same thing about herself. He was honest, diligent,
courteous and likeable and Manuela knew that after so many years of being
alone and to have a person like him was pure luck. However, she still did not
love him as much as he loved her, and this relationship was a constant
struggle for Manuela.
12. Manuela lived in an unstable household growing up, with her parents fighting
a lot. Her relationship with them improved once she moved out. She kept
visiting and calling them once in a while, as well as sending off some the
money she made. However, she constantly felt like they had little in common
and when she visited or called them on the phone, they usually ended up
having nothing to talk about.
Her best and only friend was Amelia. They met when they both enrolled into
the prestigious Fine Arts Academy. Amelia left pretty fast due to that school
being too hard for her. However, they stayed friends and went out often. They
could always make each other laugh and Manuela really loved her.
13. She had two brothers – Lucas and David. Lucas was 8 years older than her and
contact between them was rare, due to difference in age and lack of similar
interest. In their parents’ house they just stayed in their own rooms and did
not interact much. When he moved out, when Manuela was 10 years old, she
realized she didn’t miss him as everyone else in the household did. However,
her relationship with David was different. As they had to share a room in their
parents’ house, they became good friends, partially because he was only 3
years older. Manuela felt that David, after her grandma died, was the only
person from her family that believed in her. He didn’t understand much about
art, and she didn’t understand much about astronomy, which was his passion,
however she still felt supported and cared about. When he moved out, he
married pretty fast and had a child. Manuela liked visiting them, however she
never stayed for too long due to the fact that she would become bored. She
didn’t like their “basic” lifestyle, as she saw it. She wanted to travel and see
the most remote places of the world, however, David never wanted that, and
she could not understand that.
14. Fears
Manuela fears staying in the town and country she was born in forever. She
really wants her life to be interesting and exciting and she has been dreaming
of running away and disappearing since her teenage years and she is scared of
not being able to do it someday.
Although she isn’t afraid of her own death, due to traumatic experience in
her childhood she is scared of losing other people, like her parents, brothers,
Amelia and her boyfriend.
Sometimes she is scared of hurting people who, in her opinion, don’t deserve
to be hurt. Due to this fear, she can’t properly break up with Anthony. She
finds him a very kind person and therefore cannot break up and hurt him.
