AU AGE: Somewhere in the ballpark of 30-ish! AU OCCUPATION: President and CEO of Veil Retrieval Specialists, Incorporated BLURB:
❖ Born the daughter of a wealthy international art dealer ❖ Grew up generally (read: disgustingly) well-to-do, but to a set of parents who always went above and beyond to instill in her an appreciation for hard work and personal independence ❖ Orphaned at age fifteen when, while on a vacation with her parents, their living arrangements caught fire and the roof collapsed. Carmen was able to escape the blaze but her parents tragically were not ❖ Unsurprisingly, is pretty badly claustrophobic as a result ❖ Spent a handful of years being raised by close friends and business associates of her parents, who then continued to manage her parents' estate while she pursued her studies ❖ Worked several years as an insurance claims investigator, ultimately developing a reputation as an expert at recovering stolen items ❖ Was badly injured on a case, leading to a medical leave of absence and her move to Recollé to recuperate, at her former guardian's urging ❖ Suffered from cabin fever for a while before eventually deciding to stop looking at her leave of absence as a burden and opting to instead treat the time off as an opportunity ❖ Assembled Veil Retrieval Specialists, Inc., which combined her personal work experience with her family's resources and connections to create an elite training organization that teaches other people to do the job that she once did herself ❖ Is never seen not wearing red in some capacity ❖ Tends to channel her personal wealth toward philanthropic goals and probably has a foundation of some variety ❖ Is an avid supporter of local museums, art galleries, libraries, and historical societies ❖ Has almost certainly funded at least a few scholarships ❖ Always wins at Trivial Pursuit
LOOKING FOR:
❖ FRIENDS, because the downside of her ambitious career-oriented lifestyle is that she hasn't really cultivated a lot of meaningful personal relationships prior to settling down in Recollé ❖ Business colleagues ❖ Are you going to school on scholarship? MAYBE IT'S NAMED AFTER HER ❖ No seriously she loves kids and if you are a kid then she probably wants to aggressively encourage you to follow your dreams and shoot for the stars ❖ idk date her she's hot and single
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME:
❖ I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF I'M GOING TO GO THROUGH WITH THIS BUT WHAT THE HELL, FEEL FREE TO TRY TO PERSUADE ME IF THIS SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD IDEA TO YOU ❖ All of the above is subject to change/tweaking because I'm not super committed to any one idea! This is just kind of my first pass at translating her canon shenanigans into an AU framework. o/
