Check family (Ray's OCs)

(Ignore the infobox above! Rather, refer to this when looking below at Check sister Nerissa’s profile)

**The Checks** are a family of OCs created by Rayvena for RPing. They are primarily a Colombian-American family.

## History

When the German, Welsh, and Chinese families Schaunhoffer, Bevan, and Tong each immigrated to America in 1925, America was strife with drama and politics, and each of the families were treated very rudely (mostly the darker-skinned Chinese immigrants) by the mostly white majority. Unable to find solace and having trouble keeping cash, the three families banded together and created a “superfamily” they called the Checks after what they sought most: money. Many children of the three original families had children with each other in order to produce children and expand their family. As years slid by, the family prospered and began to hold a reputation as a successful family. In 1983, members of the Colombian Madrigal family moved to America, and Esperanza Alejandra Madrigal married Jackson Xiaolong Check; their children also went on to marry other Colombian Americans.

In 1992, Miguel Viranos Check, one of the grandchildren of said original children, a charming man with dark olive skin, blue eyes, and blondish-brown hair (who also had a reputation as a serial liar) married Isabel Gianna María Flores, is a dark-brown skinned Colombian-American woman with wide brown eyes and curly black hair. Their three children are currently the most well-known Checks for their beauty, generally bratty personalities, and Ray’s tendency to use them.

As a sidenote, Isabel’s younger sister, Mira Carmela Arian Flores, who literally looks just like her (their parents couldn’t even tell the difference between them), moved to Colombia to connect with her ancestral heritage, where she met half-Sudanese, half Colombian man Félix Augustas Hashim Sodana (he’s a man of few words, with literally black skin, brown eyes with red flecks in them, and a trademark pouty black afro) and had a child with him named Dolores Sodana, who is very close with the main three Check sisters.

## Personality

### Likes

Flowers, electricity, herself, being popular, rightful vengeance, her sisters

### Dislikes

People who insult her, Arianna’s demands, being stressed

### Personality Flaws

Nerissa cares a lot about taking care of her younger sisters, and allows it to stress her out. Most of her weaknesses come from this: she may try to please one sister over the other too much, she may get upset with one of them and spark a rivalry, and she might care too much about their happiness while discarding her own. It really depends.

### Personality Strengths

Nerissa is easily persuasive and has a strong sense of justice (which she uses unfortunately sparingly) and is a leader. She also cares about her sisters a lot

## Communication

### Accent

A slight Colombian accent, a little more profound than her other two sisters’

## Abilities

### Physical Strengths

She is the strongest physically of her sisters, and the most athletic

### Physical Weaknesses

Despite her strength, she’s best pitted against those shorter than her, and against someone taller she’s in for a lotta pain

### Social Strengths

She’s popular! People know who she is and more often than not admire her, especially her sisters

### Magical Powers

Being the hottest of her sisters (it’s true.. let’s be honest with ourselves..)

**Nerissa Luisa Check** is one of the three main Check sisters. She’s the most headstrong, and generally takes it upon herself to take care of them, which sometimes causes her stress. Other than this she can be.. honestly jerky if we’re being real, and despite her care for her sisters enough can turn her against them. She’s generally a complex figure, juxtaposed between her desires to help her sisters and her hopes to find out who she is without them. Her nicknames are Neri and Rissy.

## Appearance

### Disabilities

Virana has mild social anxiety which often makes talking difficult for her, an issue that is undiagnosed but is obvious that she has.

### Fashion Style

Typically trendy, but also less attention-getting than her sisters’ fashion styles. She tends to favor shades of silver and blue.

## History

### Siblings

Arianna Isabela Check and Nerissa Luisa Check

## Personality

### Likes

Oceanic plants, the color blue, feeling safe, being liked, her sisters (when they’re nice)

### Dislikes

Feeling unsafe, being disliked, her sisters (when they’re mean), herself (mostly)

### Personality Flaws

Due to her meakness and her tendency to stay in the shadows of her older sisters, she is often subdued and unhappy, and because of this often negative and pessimistic.

### Personality Strengths

She is the best at persevering out of all her sisters

## Communication

### Accent

A slight Colombian accent, the least noticeable of her sisters’

## Abilities

### Physical Weaknesses

She’s a terrible fighter and not very athletic

### Social Strengths

She’s often recognized as being the Check family’s younger sister and as such could easily be popular

### Social Weaknesses

Unfortunately, Virana is not bratty like her sisters or as stylish as they are. As such, she is generally the more picked on Check, and most people who recognize her only do so because they know her sisters, not because they know her

**Virana Mirabel Check** is one of the three main Check sisters. Being the shyest and the least bratty, she generally doesn’t feel very seen and even her sisters despite their best efforts tend to alienate her. She tries her best to please, but often doesn’t feel like a “real Check”. She tends to be slightly childish. Her nicknames are Vi and Vir.

None (she sees the three Check sisters as being like her own sisters, though)

## Personality

### Likes

Oranges, gossiping, herself, the Check sisters, drama

### Personality Flaws

Dolores is CONVINCED life is some type of play or movie or book, and she is the main character. She will use this as an excuse to do stupid things and be a jerk to people, because she “has plot armor”.

### Personality Strengths

She’s generally caring, mostly towards her family, and always regrets whenever she’s mean

Colombian Spanish, English, some Sudanese

A slight Colombian accent, and even a tad bit of a Sudanese accent all modgepodged up in her American accent

## Abilities

### Social Strengths

She’s popular, mainly due to her cousins, but also because she knows da dirt

### Magical Powers

Plot Armor (according to herself)

**Dolores Sodana** is a first cousin to the Check sisters, and is popular as well as them, and generally likes to hang out with them. She’s kind of gossipy and always knows the dirt, but isn’t that bratty or rude. However, she literally thinks she is the main character of.. life, I guess, and has some tendencies to do stupid or nasty things due to her insistence she has plot armor. Recently some people have begun to suspect her “main character syndrome” is an act, though.
