Her sharp intellect and innovative thinking allow her to excel in any endeavor she undertakes, often coming up with solutions that others might overlook. Additionally, her creativity knows no bounds, whether she's working on a professional project or engaging in her artistic hobbies.
However, Giovanna's life is also marked by the challenges of living with bipolar disorder. This condition brings with it intense highs and lows that can be difficult to navigate. During her manic phases, Giovanna's energy and enthusiasm can be infectious, inspiring those around her to aim higher and dream bigger. Yet, these periods can also lead to impulsive decisions and overcommitment, as her mind races with endless possibilities.
In contrast, her depressive episodes can be profoundly challenging, sapping her energy and dampening her spirit. During these times, Giovanna may struggle with feelings of hopelessness and fatigue, making it hard for her to maintain her usual level of engagement and productivity. These swings can be tough on both her and those close to her, requiring immense patience and understanding.

She actively seeks treatment and employs various coping strategies to manage her condition, demonstrating incredible strength and determination. Her openness about her struggles fosters a deeper connection with others, as she bravely shares her journey to help break the stigma surrounding mental health.

Her ability to navigate the highs and lows with grace and fortitude is a testament to her inner strength and character. She remains a beacon of positivity and inspiration, showing that it is possible to live a fulfilling and impactful life despite the challenges of mental illness.During her manic phases, Giovanna's creativity and productivity reach extraordinary levels. She is often brimming with innovative ideas, capable of tackling complex problems with a fresh and unique perspective. Her enthusiasm is infectious, motivating those around her to think outside the box and push their own boundaries. However, she is also aware of the potential pitfalls of these high-energy periods, and she works diligently to channel her creativity in sustainable ways, often collaborating with trusted friends or mentors to keep her projects on track.
Conversely, during depressive episodes, Giovanna's resilience and resourcefulness come to the forefront. She has developed a toolkit of strategies to help manage her mental health, including mindfulness practices, regular exercise, and creative outlets such as painting or writing. She is proactive in seeking support, whether through therapy, medication, or leaning on her close-knit support network. Her transparency about her struggles serves as a powerful reminder to others that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
Giovanna’s journey with bipolar disorder has also made her a passionate advocate for mental health awareness. She uses her experiences to educate others, breaking down misconceptions and encouraging open, honest discussions about mental health.

== Strangers Again. ==
Giovanna started out with joining Greasers, she thought it would've been a good hobby for her, something for her to do to get her mind off of these things that needed to be left in the past. She quickly learned that the greasers, or hangarounds are not to be messed with. As she was running alongside of them, she was seen next to the greasers when the girls weren't around. And near the Pink Ladies when she was a Hangaround and an Trustee. She made a awful a lot of friends during the way, and a lot of terrible heartbreak. She thought if she got far enough in life she could do these things on her own. 
==== THE HANGAROUND: ====
At the time she went by 'Jane.' It wasn't her real name, but it was americanized so they could say it better. She took a keen interest to a nonnie named Jeremy, was this a good idea? FUCK NO. But she liked him, She LOVED him. These times was desperate, she never found herself liking someone so... kind. At first it was nice, but then it just started to spiral. The boy had anger issues, while... Jane had bipolar. Which didn't go in sync with each-other. One day, it had cracked down to where Jeremy was gripping onto her wrists a little too tight, and scared Jane then caused to run off and tell the Greasers. They were actually angry with him, and had bloodied him up, and hung him on the flag pole near the Varsity Field. Jane that day realized how much they could show their initiative. She chose not to hang around them for a bit, soon a couple days later going to a party where she saw Jeremy, and had spoken to her trying to ask why she did what she did. Jane couldn't let any words out of her mouth. She was scared, she couldn't bare to tell him it was all in the moment of her mania. She felt like she had to tell someone, she didn't want to get hurt like last-time. Soon after that... that was the last time she ever saw Jeremy. 
==== THE TRUSTEE ====
Here we are once again, Giovanna being somewhat more into the fights now, and putting more initiative there. Herself being known a little bit around the school, a few friends from each clique saying hi to her, others not so much... She had her enemies. Once she reached this she was considered to be one of the Hangarounds. A couple weeks into this, Stefani had left Hangarounds, you could barely see her around anymore. Stefani was basically a sister to Giovanna, and was very understanding of her. She appreciated her company. She watched how Robin became the head-hangaround. Jane didn't know her that well. So she was a little misplacing of her judgment. Of course she thought the girl was nice, she had no hatred towards the girl it was just Giovanna didn't like change, she wouldn't be able to get over Stefani leaving so fast out of the clique. 
A few weeks before, Giovanna had gotten with a guy named Erwin Huggins. Erwin was the type of guy, that Giovanna adored she knew she would never be able to find a guy like him. In her eyes, he was perfect. Giovanna and Erwins, personalities sort of aligned with eachother. But Erwin had a few downfalls to his demeanor. Giovanna was practically around guys all the time, the greasers, and others. Erwin didnt like that about Giovanna, he was over-protective of her. He felt the need to protect her, since noone would. She felt at peace with Erwin, but she knew he wasnt the one for her. 
Sometimes if you look close enough you can see those two hanging out in private or just being themselves. 
====== Ending: The Girl With The Brown Hair. ======
Giovanna was hanging out with the hangarounds and just being herself. A group of cheers had came up, talking to Giovanna for /NO/ reason. Soon insulting her and dragging her off into the bathroom, the hangarounds were locked out, and Giovanna was beaten up, her head being stomped on, and her losing the fight and losing her jacket. This enraged Giovanna, she came out stumbling with her head pounding. Soon after a day, Jane had found her extra LR and backup MR jacket. She left it on the table in the Auto-shop, leaving the girls. She had messaged them in the groupchat, explaining that she could no longer go on, and continue fighting a lot. She was tired of it she was SO exhausted. She hoped the girls would understand and so she left the group-chat, going into some nonnie clothing.
After a few days, Giovanna had found herself talking to the Varsity Cheerleaders. Explaining to her that they were the more prettier girls in campus. And could have some more significance to her life. Giovanna had found this strange right after her leaving, she hesitantly accepted and attempted to fit into the life of a cheerleader, for 3 hours. If anyone actually knew Giovanna it would be the hangarounds, they would know that she would've never fit in with them, let alone joining them. She left the cheerleaders, not exactly hoping they would stay around her. Recently she had been avoiding them, and starting to do her own thing, being happy in her own solitude.
