AU PHYSICAL CHANGES

★ Has a more define and tone hourglass figure due to all the exercise she has done throughout her life.
★ Her height is 5'8".

AU BACKSTORY

★ Was born in the US by an upper middle class couple.
★ At a very young age, her parents had her go through an array of hobbies and other activities until she found one that she felt comfortable in -- it turn out to be tennis.
★ Ava had a gift for tennis due to her natural talent in her hand-eye coordination, lack of fear of getting hit, and observation skills; however she lacked balance.
★ To make up for lack of balance, she was registered to take aikido classes a year later.
★ Once she began middle school, Ava began to participate in countless tennis and aikido tournaments.
★ Ava did the best in tennis to which she began to gain classifications and high rankings.
★ Due to her parent's work and wish for her to better improve in the sports she was actively participating in, Ava had to move a couple of times across the US: Texas, California, Florida, and Georgia to name a few.
★ Once she began high school, Ava felt burn out in her training and practice regimen that it began to reflect in all aspects of her life: her grades at school and sports rankings in major tournaments began to drop.
★ Discouraged by her lack of improvement in reaching the necessary titles to play internationally or being chosen to participate for the Olympics, she decided to live a normal life for high school, doing whatever she wanted and participating in whatever sport for enjoyment, that's when she moved to Recolle with her family.
★ Ava joined the tennis teams at Recolle High School with the requirement that she could arrive for practice whenever she wanted to in exchange of representing the team for major tournaments.
★ Ava had decided to dedicate most of her energy on aikido to help maintain her figure and skills in the mean time.
★ Whenever it became active season for tournaments, Ava would always score high for the school while occasionally winning them awards: top fifteen for junior tennis in a national level while gaining the champion title for Recolle in local tournaments.
★ Due to her impressive skills in tennis, she gained a full scholarship for Recolle University as long as she joins the tennis club as an official member.
★ Her official major of study at the university is business, to become a consultant, just like her mother.

AU HOBBIES/FUN FACTS

★ In Texas she was introduced to parkour from a couple of friends from middle school, who began to secretly teach her which helped awaken her rebellious streak of sneaking out of her house whenever she wanted and needed.
★ Throughout high school, she occasionally would sneak out of her house to explore the city, meditate, or do whatever she wanted at the time.
★ While in college, she no longer sneaks out, but does attempt to disguise herself.
★ Ava is naturally tone deaf and has little interest in singing or even listening to music.
★ Other than parkour or going out on her own, running helps her relax whenever she is feeling overly anxious or stressed out.
★ She is very superstitious, doesn't believe in luck, and is afraid of anything related to occultism or "true" magic.
★ Has no interest in religion, but does follow the pacifist philosophies taught in aikido.
★ She follows a strict diet, and it has motivated her on learning to cook now that she was living on her own in the university dorms.
★ Was raised in a overly strict, conservative household with a mother that uses her talents and achievements as though they were her own (extreme stage mom or soccer mom types).
★ Comes from a middle-upper class, to low tier high class family (once she began to win prize money for tennis, gained sponsorship, and used her image for modelling her mother's company).

LOOKING FOR:
★ Other characters that may have trained or are actively training in: tennis and aikido.
★ Recolle high school graduates that may have known her (for the short two year stay) through tennis club and/or current college students that are in the tennis club, practicing aikido, or have a business major.
★ Tutors! Ava needs help in keeping up with most of her classes and her grades do affect her athlete and scholarship status.
★ Professors, coaches, teachers, and just authority figures that look out for her or want to make her life a living hell.
★ Characters that may have been her friend or crossed her path throughout her elementary and middle school years. Pen pals, anyone?
★ Those who would cross her path during her nightly strolls around the city!
★ Surprise arranged marriage (has to be male and successful and/or from successful family) anyone? Secret SO (male or female)? I am open to this possibility.
★ Wildcard! If you have a fun idea, pass it by me and we will discuss it!

OPTIONAL ENABLE ME:
