Vianney Merelie Priest-Verastegui

Vianney M. Priest-Verastegui is a journalist for T-Times played by Lemonsenthusiast. Vianney portrays the stereotypical "Chola". 
==Appearance==
Vianney is predominantly Latina. Both of her parents are Mexican, but only her papa was born in the country of Mexico. Obtaining most of her physical features from her papa, Vianney resembles that of a Mayan woman. She has big round eyes, high cheek bones, a dark tan, and messy black hair. Ever since Vianney has decided that she'd like to attend cosmetology school, she has dyed her hair red. She stands at 5'4 with poor posture, making her appear to be even shorter. She maintains a healthy weight and body shape. 
Her gold hoop earrings were a gift from her ma when she was initiated. At first, they were too big on Vianney, but now they seem to fit perfectly. The only time she takes them off is when she has to sleep. Sometimes she'll forget to remove them. Vianney can often be seen styling her jelly bracelets in unique ways that most people wouldn't imagine. It took time learning how to do so. 
==Characteristics==
"I will protect my own, no matter what."- Vianney telling Andrew about her view on the world.
Vianney is a teenager who is misguided, complicated and filled with anger, displaying several different emotions following the murder of her younger brother. Her emotions ranging from sorrowful to upbeat at times. 
Defined by her loyalty and respect, Vianney grew up heavily involved with gangs. She is a girl who has mostly been filled with anger and hatred. After her brother's death, she would skipped school, got into fights regularly, frequently participate in illegal activities, and made many other poor choices. It was all in the name of her family. 
When she arrived at Thirlcrest, her father begged for Vianney to turn over a new leaf. He wanted to see her change her view on the world. She still struggles with accepting new people into her life. Often acting as cold and distant to new people, she waited to fully accept them into her life. She wants to figure out if they deserve her respect or not. Most people at Thirlcrest already have pushed her the wrong way. In turn, she has decided to focus on those she already knows. They have become her family. She would do anything for them. In a way, she has become a mother figure to a few of them. 
==Character Background==
=== Chapter One ===
m.A.A.d city
It was the first day of school and she was waiting outside for the bus with her older siblings. Their neighbor was out front, washing his car. They all greeted one another and he wished Vianney good luck at her first day of kindergarten. A car came speeding by, gunshots ringing out. Before they could do anything, her neighbor was on the ground, lifeless. That's when she saw the undeclared war for the first time. 
Vianney Merelie Priest-Castaneda-Ayala-Verastegui is the second youngest child of seven. Her father, Mateo Gabriel Ayala-Verastegui, immigrated to the United States when he was only 18 years old where he shortly met Sylvia Priest-Castaneda. Not long after they met, Sylvia got pregnant with their first child, Gloria Alondra. The pair didn't officially get married until their second child, Osvaldo Exiquio. 
The family was heavily affiliated with the White Fence gang that ran throughout Whitter. Her mother was of the second generation. It was common for gang members to be in and out of their household. Vianney was used to their preaching about staying loyal to their own. Her eldest sister was already born before Vianney was born, but it was against her wishes to be an active member. Their mother always told her children that they should be apart of the larger family. Osvaldo joined right when he turned 13. To him, it was an honor to protect his own. "We ain't afraid to die for your own. At least when you die for you own, you die with respect. You die a warrior."- Osvaldo only fueling Vianney's negative outlook on the world.
Meanwhile Vianney's father never truly joined the White Fence Gang, but he never stopped his wife from involving herself with their activities. Being one of the only positive influences in Vianney's life, her father always told Vianney to be her own person. The last thing he ever wanted was to see the how Vianney might look after she is initiated in. Gloria tried to encourage her father's preachings until she moved out of the crowded household. Now it was really up to her father to prevent Vianney from joining. That's how it remained until Gabriel got initiated one night. He can never forgive himself for going against his own words. It was right after her brother, Felix, got jumped right outside their own house. Each sibling of hers got initiated one right after the other. Vianney knew her time would come soon. Just like Osvaldo, Felix, and Kico told her, she thought it was an honor to protect her own. 
Her brother, Osvaldo had been arrested right in front of her. The police had burst through the front door without much warning. Her mother told Vianney that the cops had taken him because he was respected by "their people". To Vianney, Osvaldo was innocent. The night of the alleged crime, Osvaldo had been babysitting her and the youngest brother, Francisco. There was no proof to support Osvaldo's words. She was only eleven years old when she watched her brother be slammed to the ground by white cops. A quiet rage against a race ignited. In strange twist of fate, her father only encouraged the rage that Vianney was feeling. The rage only grew inside of her. She eventually despised everyone unless she considered them to be one of her own. If they earned that title then she would grant them her respect. 
If asked, Vianney actually doesn't know how this war even started. She doesn't care about the history behind it. She just knows it's two sides who tripped each other way back. 
=== Chapter Two ===
Code of the Streets"They beat you so you won't break."- Her mother tells Vianney as she cleans up the blood on her daughter's face.
Vianney was initiated at the same age Osvaldo was. Her thirteenth birthday was just a week prior from her initiation. Then Vianney felt like she truly belonged in her household. Being a White Fence gang member meant that she had people she could call her own. Her family expanded far more than expected. Her father didn't say anything about the initiation other than just planting a small kiss on her bruised forehead. Now, her involvement only spreads to the other children at her middle school. Especially the ones that aligned themselves with her rivals. A target was placed on her back as soon as she returned to class. 
It was common for Vianney to get into physical altercations throughout middle school, but once she got to high school, her people were there waiting. That's when she noticed something of her own. An outsider looking in would never see it. She compared the schools to the city, which was like a prison. There were tribes, all separate and fighting for their own in the undeclared war. 
Francisco, who was the same age as Osvaldo and Vianney when he was initiated into the White Fence gang . Vianney and him were already close, considering they were the last two children of the parents, it seemed. Francisco was only two years younger than Vianney. She would often call him "Pancho" instead of Franco or Cisco, like her parents would ask her too. Pancho idolized Vianney for being the brave one, just like Osvaldo. He was just as eager to join as they were. A part of Vianney didn't want him to join. All she wanted was to keep him safe. If he didn't join, though, then he'd lose any sort of protection at school or out on the streets. She was silent when he came home, bloodied from his initiation. 
Pancho dug himself deep into gang relations. He was often out running for certain members. Their mother was extremely proud of Pancho for putting in his time to show his dedication. Vianney began to question things when she watched Pancho change for the worse. He became extremely violent against those he didn't consider his own. Suddenly, he refused to go by Pancho. He decided he wanted to be called Frankie. Everything that Pancho had become, Vianney despised. Multiple targets had been placed on Pancho. When he got to high school with Vianney, he was getting into more fights than Vianney had. Even if someone looked at him wrong, he'd assume the worst. Another gang member, one they call Bullet, only aided Pancho's spiral. In order to protect Pancho, Vianney went along with it. 
One day, while out on the streets with Pancho and Bullet, they all ran into this smaller man. His name was Vincent Kuhn. Bullet teased the young male, trying to get a couple bucks off of him. Her brother, Pancho, just kept mad-dogging Vincent. She knew what Panco's glare meant. Vianney took immediate action by pulling the male along with the group and getting to know Vincent. They instantly clicked. In a way, she put a claim over Vincent so no other person in their gang could try to mess with him. This course of action annoyed both Pancho and Bullet. Before Vincent left for home, he exchanged phone numbers with Vianney. The two remained close. It seemed like Vincent was fascinated with the gang culture of Los Angeles. Especially seeing how involved Vianney's family was. 
Her relations with the White Fence gang mentally shifted. She thought her brother and Bullet were taking their titles too far. Osvaldo would have never considered doing what Pancho and Bullet pulling against rival gangs. The two only fueled their rivalry with the 18th street gang. Pancho became more of a target than anyone else in his family. That even included Osvaldo. At least Osvaldo was "safe" and locked away. Because of everything Pancho was doing, Vianney's quienceañera was shot up after an altercation between Bullet and another person passing by the hall. Bullet was killed that night from multiple gunshots to his chest. Vianney hoped Pancho would realize that everything he was doing was bound to catch up to him. All she hoped was that it wasn't in the same way as Bullet. 
=== Chapter Three ===
Death Around The Corner
On Vianney's sixteenth birthday, she came home to a surprise. Pancho and her father were working on a 1968 Cadillac El Dorado. They wanted to turn it into a family lowrider, but primarily for Vianney to use. Her papa was then called 'Big Chente' for wishing the best for his children. He always talked about dreaming that he'll fix up this car with Pancho and drive Vianney up to college in it one day. The project car kept Pancho from making any poor decisions for awhile. It was a way for Pancho to turn over a new leaf. Vianney was happy to see her younger brother resort to his old ways. Kico would come by to help their father with anything that involved heavy lifting. After years of intensive labor, her father was getting increasingly tired. The family came together over this car. She was so excited to see the finished results.
In the barrio (neighborhood), Vianney noticed a lack of any commotion for a period of time. Even if it was two weeks, it was strange. All the violence had come to a sudden halt. There was no news of any drive-bys or jumpings. The family felt like they could be at ease being out. Pancho took advantage of this newfound calm. One day, he was out working on the car alone. Vianney was inside with her mother, just watching the news, when they heard a car screeching down the road. A series of gunshots could be heard before the two could manage to get outside. Pancho was bleeding on the ground. In their ma's arms, Pancho was killed by a drive-by shooting. 
The tragedy of Pancho's death took a massive toll on Vianney and her family. Her older brothers spent countless days hunting down the people responsible for his death, while Vianney spent time in isolation. Her father put the lowrider project on hold in order to give them all time to heal. Amongst her crew at school, Vianney was dubbed "sad girl", a common character amongst chicanos who had lost a loved one and is now left crying. Her long-distance best friend, Vincent Kuhn, even attended Pancho's funeral. He offered Vianney a shoulder to cry on, but she denied. Vianney wanted to present a strong front. She was trained to not break. 
Eventually, her brothers, Felix and Kico, caught up to the people responsible for Pancho's death. They are currently paying for what they did in return and will be locked away for a long time. Because of who Vianney's family is, she had to start watching over her shoulder everywhere she went because the people her brothers messed with are looking for revenge. More violence ensued within the barrio and Vianney's father truly began to worry about his daughter's safety. "When you play... You Pay."- Her family was warned just about what they were all getting into.
=== Chapter Four ===
Protect Ya Neck
Vianney had two accept two things: Pancho was gone and she was going to be next. Her mother warned Vianney about what she should expect every time she leave the house. She was to never be alone. They relied on Cruzer, another gang member of Vianney's age, to remain by her side. It irritated Vianney since she felt like she could handle herself out on the streets. Cruzer did not leave Vianney's side for the remainder of their summer between sophomore and junior year. He wanted to ensure her family wouldn't face any more loss and heartbreak. With three of her brothers locked up and one dead, Cruzer filled in the place of a son to Vianney's father. 
Even though Cruzer wanted to please Vianney, she despised him. She saw him as a reminder of what happened to Pancho. It was a reminder that her clock was ticking. The barrio was hot. Especially at the start of Vianney's and Cruzer's junior year. The two, walking to class, were jumped by a group of crips hanging at a local part. Cruzer exchanged gunfire with a few, while Vianney was cornered elsewhere. When she returned home, she had a gash right across her neck. Her mother got upset that Vianney wasn't listening to their warnings about what would continue to happen. 
Her father begged for Vianney to reach out to a family friend, Vincent Kuhn. If Vianney could get away from the barrio, then there would be less to worry about. Without Vianney though, that meant Cruzer was no longer needed by the Priest-Castaneda-Ayala-Verastegui's. He did not like that. Cruzer had actually begun to romantically pursue Vianney, but she was too angry to even notice the romantic hints he was giving her. It all came down to a boiling point when Cruzer told Vianney how he felt. She wasn't sure how to process his feelings and kissed him in response. She thought that she owed Cruzer something for all he had done for her. Cruzer took this as a sign that Vianney was his.
Cruzer would not leave Vianney's side now more than ever. He had breakfast at her house, added some of his own family pictures to their ofrenda for Día de Los Muertos, and sat at their dining room table for Thanksgiving. Vianney wasn't sure why Cruzer had become more clingy. It pissed her off. All she wanted was to be left alone. She confided this situation to her older sister, Nayeli. Her sister told Vianney to explain to Cruzer that she was simply not feeling the romantic connection between the two. Cruzer seemed like a cool guy. They were sure he could handle the rejection. They were wrong. 
When Vianney rejected Cruzer, he got angry. He was violent towards Vianney. His crew would harass Vianney and her friends around campus, despite all of them being within the same gang. Her parents were shocked by Cruzer's sudden switch up on Vianney, now making her a free target. She walked without protection from then on. Nayeli felt guilty for the advice she had given Vianney and agreed to stay by her sister's side until tensions died down. The pair grew closer. Everyday, Nayeli would pick up Vianney from class and then drive her home. Sometimes, they'd go on adventures around Los Angeles or further. Nayeli only did this thinking that Vianney would never grow old with the high target on her back. She wanted her little sister to see more than just the barrio. "Every time I step out that door, I am faced with the risk of being shot. I'm always wondering when will I be free. "- Vianney tells Nayeli about her worries. 
Her favorite trip with Nayeli was when she convinced Vianney to skip class and drive to the mountains. For the first time, Vianney saw snow. Her sister paid for their snowboarding lessons. Even though they were terrible, it became one of her favorite memories. Her daydreams consist of returning to the snow and seeing it float down to the ground. Nayeli took Vianney to San Diego, San Juan Capistrano, Palm Desert, and all sorts of places. Every single time, though, Vianney longed to return to the mountains. There was something about the smell of fireplaces burning, the log cabins, and the snow that made Vianney feel at peace. It was like if someone followed them up there and got Vianney, she would be okay with it. 
One weekend, when Nayeli had to return home to her own family for a bit, Vianney was jumped outside of her high school. Her mother was so worried when Vianney got home late. She walked home. Her father just begged Vianney to get away from the barrio, but Vianney had already accepted her fate. After everything, she'd be happy to see Pancho. Her parents couldn't bare losing another child. It was her father who called Vincent, asking about Thirlcrest Academy. Vincent explained the school to her father the best he could, but it didn't take much explaining to convince Gabriel to sending Vianney there. On her file, it says she has behavioral issues: starting fights, emotional outbursts, fits of rage, and aggression. This made Vianney feel like she was being painted in a bad light, but she had no choice. Vianney was out of the barrio.
=== Chapter Five ===
Runnin'
While at Thirlcrest, an incident occurred between Vianney and two male students. She immediately saw a need to get away the situation. Vianney called her papa, begging to come home just for awhile to get out of dodge. He agreed after Vianney poisoned him against the student body. She told him how the people there didn't understand their lifestyle or show any respect. The family arranged for Vianney to return under a family emergency involving her brother, Osvaldo, and his parole hearing.
Vianney returned home to a quiet house. Without all of her siblings, there were just her parents and whoever came through. The change took Vianney by surprise. Especially when she went to her own bedroom, seeing how still everything was. She once had to share the room with Nayeli, but it was all hers. And it would remain so until she moved out. The posters covered her walls, as well as magazine cutouts. While she began to settle down in her old room, she found an old school project Pancho had made for her. He called her his hero for "always being the bravest.". She knew it was time to let go of her little brother. For the first time since his death, now a year ago, Vianney visited Pancho's grave. She returned the flannel she had taken from him. Ever since Pancho had passed, Vianney never allowed herself to grieve. She thought it would make her look weak. Being at the grave, though, Vianney surrendered herself to all the pain she had been feeling since his passing. Her parents allowed her to sit there for awhile, just talking to him. And before she left, she asked for some advice. Her papa was proud of Vianney for giving herself this time. 
Osvaldo's parole hearing was nothing special. As a matter of fact, he had already been granted it. This was just a hearing to explain the conditions of his parole sentencing and a chance to meet his P.O. Vianney was excited to see her brother for the first time in six years. The last time she saw him was during his sentencing. Her parents refused to let her visit while he was locked up. They wanted to protect her from that side of their lifestyle. Osvaldo didn't want Vianney to see him locked up either. He thought she would see him as a failure. All that time, though, she believed in her brother's innocence. She wanted him to be a free man. So when she saw Osvaldo wearing a suit with a shaved head and tattoos all over his body, she was excited. It felt strange, though. Some of his tattoos were new. There were scars on his face. It was the suit that surprised Vianney the most. He looked cleaned up in a way she couldn't describe.
The family car was almost full once more. Vianney had to sit between Osvaldo and Nayeli since she was considered to be the smallest out of the three. Osvaldo couldn't stop rambling about his time locked up, but he also couldn't stop sharing details about his plans now that he was almost free. He wanted to get a job alongside their papa with construction and then maybe attend college. He wanted to get his own place one day. If he was lucky, he wanted to have his own family. With a long last name. Vianney and Nayeli filled Osvaldo in on all the details; from Bullet and Pancho's time together, Bullet ruining Vianney's quienceañera and his passing, to Pancho's death, how Felix and Kico were now in the state penitentiary, Vianney's time with Cruzer, and now her time at Thirlcrest. He found it funny that Felix got himself involved. If anyone was the smart one in their family, it was Felix. To Kico, Felix was like the mediator. He always Kico calmed down Kico. 
Osvaldo begged for their parents to take him to see Felix and Kico. He wanted to brag about how they got locked up when he got free. It was amusing, to say the very least. Their ma agreed. This trip home was becoming hectic for Vianney. So much was happening in a short amount of time. Vianney got excited to see Felix again. To her, he was artistic. If he hadn't been locked up, he probably would've been the next in the family to get his degree. Nayeli got pregnant at 18, and Kico just had no passion for pursuing a higher degree than what was required. Vianney wanted to talk to Felix, asking for advice, but when they arrived at the California State Prison in Lancaster, Felix denied her visit. He only spoke to Osvaldo and their papa. Similar to Osvaldo, he didn't want Vianney to see him, but he didn't want to become a martyr of sorts like Pancho was. He knew Vianney was angry. 
Kico allowed for Vianney to visit him. There were a few things he wanted to say to her. Mainly, he ripped into her for abandoning their own. Her absence in the barrio felt like she was trying to protect herself from everyone else. She wanted to worry about herself. Vianney tried to explain to Kico that she wasn't at Thirlcrest by choice, but she was there because of their papa. He didn't care. He saw it as a betrayal. He told her she shouldn't keep running away. He said it would all catch up to her one day. This struck hard with her. She ran from Thirlcrest. And she realized she had allowed herself to run away from the barrio. His words pierced through Vianney. His final words were to remember, "Justice doesn't mean the bad guy goes to jail, it just means that someone pays for the crime." He was arrested for avenging their brother, but in the end, those who got Pancho were able to take the coward's way out. 
The drive home was quiet. Not much was said between Osvaldo and Vianney. There were a million things racing through her mind. All she wanted was to be free. She wanted to feel safe. She wanted to feel just like she felt when she saw snow for the first time. She wanted to be at peace. When they got home, Osvaldo told her they needed to talk. Word had gotten around about his return. There were people out for him. If they got Osvaldo, then that meant her family was left to be sitting ducks. He wanted to make sure Vianney stayed on high alert. She took his warnings, but not well enough. She went walking down the street to a local corner store. People from another rival gang were outside, smoking and drinking, when they noticed her approaching. This trip was just to get some snacks, but it ended with Vianney getting jumped. Nayeli was called to pick her up. They didn't even know how long Vianney was out there. She kept her mouth shut on who jumped her. If she spoke, the cycle would continue. 
Her papa was already worried for Vianney's survival every time she left the house. Now, she couldn't even go down the street without facing the risk of being jumped or worse. She would become a dead man walking if she were to stay. There was so much she wanted to do, though. Especially with someone. She made a promise to someone that she wasn't even sure she could now fulfill. If she could make it to seventeen, then she'd at least try to make it out of the barrio. If she can survive this trip home, then that'll be enough. 
Osvaldo watched as Vianney hurried to pack her belongings. It was quiet between the two since she was jumped. Bandages covered her whole body. He felt responsible for it. His return put more pressure on their family name. Vianney always saw herself as a target, though. They only started talking when Osvaldo took a look at her school uniform. He found it funny that she was practically locked up in juvenile hall. She didn't disagree. She explained to him what she had thought about her old school. The school is just a like a city. And the city is just like a prison, with different sections depending on tribes. She explained what she noticed. She told him, "You have little wanna-be's trynna hit you at school, demanding respect they haven't earned. It looks like this." she painted the scene for him. "One tribe adjusting quietly to another tribe's territory without respect. As if to claim what isn't there." Osvaldo felt like he needed to change the way his sister viewed the world. From an earlier age, she had been poisoned against everyone else except her own. So they talked. "My friends are soldiers. Not of war, but of the streets. They fight for their lives. I've lost many of friends who have died in the undeclared war. To the soldiers that makes it all worth it. Risking life, dodging bullets, pulling triggers... It's all worth it."- Osvaldo had a private conversation with Vianney after he's released from jail on parole for good behavior. It had been six years since she last saw Osvaldo. 
After her conversation with Kico and Osvaldo, she wondered just why she was always feeling so angry. Her ma told her that it was just because she was going through grief, but Vianney didn't buy it. There was a bigger picture at hand than just what she knew. And right before Vianney was to return to Thirlcrest, she got word that her eldest sister, Gloria, was officially jumped out of their gang. Gloria was no longer protected. She was no longer their family. It took Vianney by surprise. Everything she grew up with was now being put into question. And when she'd return for spring break, she knew she was going to be faced with some consequences. 
== Relationships==
===Vincent Kühn===
Ex-Friend | Estranged"What are you doing that makes a goddamn difference in my life?"- Vianney's last words to Vincent.
Vianney and Vincent have known each other long before she had arrived at Thirlcrest Academy. In fact, her parents had researched into this school because of Vincent. She used to consider Vincent one of her own, but they had grown distant when she started dating Andrew. Vianney has also distanced herself from Vincent since she feels as if she doesn't belong in times. On multiple occasions, there were members within times that made rude comments about Vianney's lifestyle or behavior. She tried to brush past it and even mellow herself out, but she felt as if she was living a lie. Vianney formed a plan to leave times with her now best friend, Santana Torrez, which she informed Vincent on. Ultimately, she left without fulfilling it. The manner in which Vianney had left gave Vincent a bad feeling. Vianney holds no regrets on what she did or how she did. She just knows she feels better off away from times.

Post breakup, Vianney got word that Rex was heartbroken and needed his time to heal from it all. She rather remains silent on the whole situation.

===Andrew Wright ===
Boyfriend | Love-struck"There's no one like you, Andrew Wright"-Vianney said while slow dancing with Andrew at prom. 
One of her first friends at Thirlcrest, Andrew Wright and Vianney are close in friendship. They have had plenty of ups and downs in the short time they've known each other, though. Vianney's hotheaded personality often gets in the way with Andrew's beliefs. She tends to take things to the extreme, while he simply wants to work it out. Most of their difficulties come from misunderstandings by Vianney. After one major, long needed talk between the duo, Andrew and Vianney grew unexpectedly closer. They both provided each other comfort as they deemed necessary. Andrew's new found bond with Vianney led to Rex questioning their friendship, which ultimately led to their breakup. Vianney did confess to Andrew prior to breakup that she did have some romantic interest in the boy, but she wanted to stay with Rex. After the breakup, Vianney went to Andrew, where they only lasted one day before Vianney told him they were better off separated. Although she has now returned, they have grown closer as a couple. 
===Santana Torrez ===
Best friend | Loyal"Olvídense de los muchachos. Mantenga sus ojos en el premio."- Santana and Vianney comfort each other.

They were once even at each other's necks because of drama with boys, but they eventually came back together at Vianney's birthday. If Vianney isn't with Andy or Vincent, you can bet she's with Santana or looking for Santana. Their favorite thing to do is gossip with each other in Spanish. Recently, Vianney has found herself struggling in times. Santana was the first to hear about this struggle. So together, they planned to take on a pseudonym and publish a series of anonymous articles targeting the cliques. They called it a loathe letter.

Though Paulie's wild behavior has died down, she always anticipates something from the boy. They've had their ups and downs like when Vianney and Rex broke up.
