Me

Marcella is a fun character. She and Valentina Rivera of the Keepers look very similar to each other but are incredibly different characters, which I find interesting. She's chatty and bold in a way that my characters usually aren't. She is one of two future lawyers on the Zodiacs, which is pretty neat. The other one, if you're curious, is Jake Price.

## Appearance

### Simple Appearance

Marcella's Italian heritage is clear from her thick, curly brown hair to her warm-toned tan skin. Her eyes are a dark hazel bordering on brown. Despite her classy clothing, Marcella holds herself like a fighter and is just as likely to duke it out in a parking lot as she is to debate an issue.

### Detailed Appearance

Marcella Florentino is a respectable young woman, an up-and-coming law student with a bright future and countless prospects. Her family has a rich Italian-American heritage, which shows in her deep brown hair, thick and curly, and her warm tan skin. Her hair is worn loose whenever she isn't at her internship or actively on hero duty and she takes great pride in the numerous compliments it gains her. Her eyes are a captivating hazel, a dark color that is nearly brown. She has mastered the art of the death stare, with several variations in intensity ranging from "you stole my seat on the bus" to "I know you killed your husband, and you are going to admit that in court". Her posture is always confident and relaxed, though there is always an undercurrent of steel. Marcella is a fighter and that comes through in everything she does.

For clothing, Marcella opts for something either classy and professional or very dramatic. She doesn't believe in middle ground. Generally, she goes for tailored blazers and dress pants with a warm cream blouse when she's in class or at her internship, often with a low heel shoe. Off duty, her clothing choices are a lot bolder and often more risqué. She's in California, after all, and she's here to have a bit of fun. Her favored colors are white, black, turquoise, and mossy green.

## Background

### Childhood

Marcella was born the younger of Alastair and Andrea Florentino's children. She was born on May 29 in New Orleans, LA. Her sister, older by three years, was Camilla Florentino. Andrea was a police captain in New Orleans while Alastair mostly stayed home and took care of the kids. He often did odd jobs for neighbors, but Andrea was most definitely the breadwinner in the family. They were trying to save up enough for Alastair to go back to school and thus get a good job, but with Camilla and Marcella to take care of, that goal seemed distant.
