Aline Ribeiro

Aline was born in Brazil, where she lived until she was eight with her twin brother, Luciano, her mother and her aunt and uncle. She spoke Spanish at home and with her family, conversed in Portuguese with the other Brazilians and talked in very limited English when necessary. For the most part, Aline loved Brazil, but she has always had an itching to travel and see what else was there in the world. Even since she was a little girl, Aline has loved adventure and change and despises monotony. Luckily for her, her dream was realized when her mother started dating a rich, white American, Fred Meyer.

Less than a year after her mother’s marriage, Aline and Luciano moved to Beryl Heights, USA, where he resided. Aline grew up surrounded by the whispers of Blue Royalty, and the competitive nature in her longed to achieve such a goal. Her stepsister, Kaitlyn, was former Blue Royalty, and she always told Aline and Luciano that they didn’t have what it took. Aline has been itching to prove Kaitlyn wrong since middle school, and so she was obviously excited with the approach of her senior. However, her estranged grandfather fell deadly ill, and so her mother decided to take the whole family to go see him in Brazil and to be there for him when he died. With his death in early December, Aline and Luciano are back in Beryl Heights for the latter half of senior year. While she is excited to see her friends again, she is even more excited to see her name on that list at the end of the year.

Aline is sweet, kind and caring---well, most of the time. She does genuinely exhibit an affectionate behaviour towards her close friends and family, but there is a lot more to her than just that. She will always go after someone who has wronged someone closed to her. Aline isn’t particularly short-tempered, but her anger is an explosive one. That, combined with her impulsiveness and tendency to seek revenge isn’t the best mixture for anyone who gets on her bad side. She can appear to be a sweet little puppy, but inside her, she has the aggressiveness of a pitbull. She writes in a journal as an outlet for slight anger, but for the anger that practically encompasses her, journaling isn’t enough. Her loyalty is hard-earned and even harder kept, as she isn’t one who trusts people easily, nevermind being loyal to them. Despite this, she will stand up for many people she thinks deserve it, whether she is loyal to them or not. She can be very passionate about what she believes is right. Aline has no problem playing up her sweet side if it means getting something she wants---she always gets what she wants. Aline is often very flirty, and for the most part, you can tell when she likes someone. Deep, deep inside her, she is a hopeless romantic and longs for a connection with someone that transcends time. She falls for people (or the idea of a person) very quickly, and if you are very close to her, you will hear her talking about them like they’re her soulmate. If you aren’t as close to her, she’ll probably brush it off as a short-lived high school crush. She is definitely someone who will kiss and tell and, needless to say, she loves her gossip. Aline likes to know what is happening with the members of her community. She always keeps tidbits of information stored away in her mind or electronically, just as potential blackmail she might require.
