Vanessa Banks

== About Vanessa... ==
Some would say Vanessa is a very down-to-Earth, sort of free-spirited, bohemian kind of girl who loves fashion. She is a tall, young 20-something from the southside Chicago freshly out of college with a major in Communications. She had two lovely parents, Romeo and Margret, who were so proud of her to be the first one of her family to go university. When given the the option to get a brand-new car by them, Vanessa instead asked for plane fair and starter funds for her to start her life in Los Santos. Vanessa wants nothing more than to become a model like her idols Twiggy and Beverly Johnson.
With nothing but a suitcase and big Vinewood dreams, she ventured far from home to the city of Saints to start anew.
During her first year in Los Santos, she found herself hustling multiple side jobs back to back like flipping patties at Burger Shot, working at a skating rink, mowing lawns, anything to survive. But not all that money was just to live with, though her wants to become a model are her top priority, she is a hustler through and through. She ends up buying out a prime piece of property in southside, the gentleman’s club ‘The Vanilla Unicorn’. She gutted the place out and re-did the entire inside. The Unicorn ended up becoming one of the hottest spots in Los Santos.
Though her business was thriving, Vanessa still doesn’t want her goals of being a model fizzle out. She would often be going to go-see’s and auditions to one day hope to land on a famous magazine cover, like Jet, Vogue or maybe Playboy.
You may spot her around town either working out, rollerblading around, enjoying a smoke break at the VU, at a nightclub burning it up on the dance floor or maybe ‘smoking’ with some friends.

Though the Vanilla Unicorn has been a success, Vanessa has been busting her ass to try to get modeling gigs around the city. Though some say she has been seen at a lot of events and industry parties, she still hasn’t quite grasped the spotlight just yet. 
About sometime near the end of the year, an arsonist who was rumored to have been stalking Vanessa had left many threats on her and the building. And by the start of ‘76, Vanessa had to sadly deal with fixing the Vanilla Unicorn back up having to liquidate all of her assets in the process. But Vanessa is a hustler through and through and is still aiming towards her dreams of stardom.
