*·˚ ༘♡ (cindy kimberly, cisfemale) have you seen ximena de la cruz? ximena is in her senior year. the arts management major is 23 years old & is a cancer. People say she is indulgent, vibrant, temperamental and distrustful. Rumors say they’re a member of calloway society. I heard from the gossip blog that she’s recovering from a cocaine addiction that she abused to keep herself thin.

hi everyone ! i’m marci and i’m super excited to present ximena to you all. i’m awful when it comes to writing intros so please bare with me lol. if you like what you read, feel free to like this post or message me so we can get to plotting !

stats !

FULL NAME ― ximena sofia de la cruz NICKNAMES ― xime BIRTHDATE ― june 25th, 1997 AGE ― twenty-three years old ZODIAC ― cancer GENDER ― cis female PRONOUNS ― she/her ORIENTATION ― repressed bisexual

background !

again i tried to write this up asap so it might suck absolute ass, but just ignore that and plot with me anyway :-) also drug and addiction tw

― so ximena and her twin brother were born in nyc, new york BUT were raised in a number of places ‘round the world due to their mother’s constant travel

― despite the twin’s father being permanently located in chicago, illinois they followed their mother wherever her modeling work took her because their father was too busy being the ceo of a conglomerate to take care of them properly

― this company is a longstanding business venture started by the twin’s great-great-great grandfather meaning the de la cruz family came from old money— at least on their father’s side

― their mother wasn’t a stranger to wealth as she earned it herself while working her way up to becoming a world renowned supermodel. considering her familiarity with the working class she made sure to keep the twins aware of their absurd wealth and privilege, which helped the two stay grounded (especially ximena)

— of the two, ximena’s older brother (by 15 minutes) was always their mother’s favorite child and is often referred to as the golden boy by ximena. unfortunately for her, their mother’s preference for her only son had always been clear due to the constant discrimination ximena received

— growing up, she was a fairly chubby girl who barely resembled her mother. her teeth were crooked, her clothes never fit right, she was awkward looking, shy, and not the natural beauty the public expected her mother to give birth to

— the constant criticism ximena received from the outside world never compared to that of which she heard from her own mother. their conversations never veered away from being told how to look, how to behave, what to eat, who to talk to… it was absolutely draining and despite eventually growing out of her ugly duckling phase (thanks to puberty) ximena never seemed to be good enough for her own mother

— this never-ending stream of disapproval really chipped away at ximena’s confidence. it became clear to her in high school that no matter what she’d do, her mother would always view her as a disappointment

— her revelation didn’t stop her from trying to gain her mother’s favor though. she continuously watched what she ate and worked out more than normal, which lead to a mental and physical exhaustion that ximena couldn’t stand anymore. so instead, she looked to ways that would help her maintain the slim figure her mother constantly harassed her about and quickly found that cocaine was the easiest way to go about it

— at first, she only did it recreationally with some friends, but eventually she saw the benefits it had on suppressing her appetite and it encouraged her growing addiction to the harmful drug. the peak of her dependency happened her freshman year at yates when she was found in some bathroom breathing uncontrollably at the brink of an overdose

— after this incident, her parents sent her to rehab immediately and forced her to opt out of her sophomore year at yates so that she could get a handle on her addiction

— it has now been three years since the incident and although she’s been clean since, her mother’s criticism has only grown worse. ximena only hopes that she can manage to keep her past addiction under wraps if not for her family’s sake than for her own

tl;dr — ximena is a wealthy socialite twin with an extremely critical mother. she’s criticized to the point of  acquiring a cocaine addiction to keep up with her mother’s insane beauty standards

extras !

— with a last name like de la cruz i just imagine them all speaking spanish especially with each other and especially bc their mother is actually from spain so, FLUENT SHE IS. i also imagine her with a cute lil accent because of it

— ximena is a total daddy’s girl and absolutely adores him despite not seeing him as often as her mom. in fact, when her addiction became known to the family, he was the one who constantly checked in on her to make sure his little princess was doing okay

— her relationship with her brother is a little rocky due to difference in treatment they received from their mother. she loves him, but can’t help feeling resentful as he got the love and praise from the one person she swears hates her guts

— her parents definitely paid off the person who found ximena in the bathroom and made them sign an nda to keep the accident under wraps. her dad may love her unconditionally, but at the end of the day a scandal like hers could negatively impact the family company and that’s just a huge no-no

— personality wise ximena is a sweet girl who just wants to feel appreciated and loved. she won’t go out of her way to make sure everyone likes her, but will try her best to be kind and accepting of everyone. however, at times she can be a bit erratic because of the cocaine’s lasting effects on her. so if you catch her in one of her moods, she’s sorry lol

— mommy issues call for her repressing the attraction she has towards women in authoritarian positions. be mean to her and she might just get ~secretly~ turned on by it

— during her time in rehab, ximena turned her focus towards her art and used it to distract herself from the withdrawal symptoms she often struggled with. she’s hoping that after yates she can pursue her dream of opening her getting her art displayed at museums and possibly opening her own art gallery

connections !

i usually write out more than this, but again i’m RUSHINGGGG

— ok so again someone who got paid off by her parents to keep hush hush about the accident in the bathroom. maybe they hold it over her head to get more money or maybe they try to make sure she’s actually ok ?? idk you tell me what you like

— she’s an ARTISTE so be her muse !! there’s something about y/c that intrigues ximena and she just constantly finds them sketching/paintaing/doodling her all over everything

— ahaha obviously need a girl that helps her explore her sexuality and attraction towards women. maybe it started off as a drunk one night stand and ximena tries to deny it ever happening but y/c is like “sike ! that shit happened and it was niiiiiiice”

— she. needs. friends. whether they’re just acquaintances or attached at the hip, she needs them !

— someone she has a huge crush on !! maybe they know and tease her about it, or they don’t and are oblivious to her advances. they could reciprocate or not, whatever you think fits

— possibly a second ex ?? they met at yates and maybe used each other for something idk

— also enemies. maybe they’re rivals within their major or bc of the societies thing or maybe they’re in the same society and they just dislike each other for some reason

— literally anything !! i want to plot with everyone !!

[demonspawnss]

is that nina dobrev? no, it’s katherine pierce, a 17/500+ in # year old doppleganger/vampire who is a waitress. they’ve come to town to watch the salvatore brother’s from the shadows and they do not remember their other life. (lisa, she/her, est) - tbh idk any specfic trigers?just as long as they are all properly tag?idk?

what is she doing in mystic falls?

katherine came to mystic falls to check on the salvatore brother’s. ever since they were turned, she has always managed to stay in the shadows, watching them live out their vampire lives, even though she has allowed them to believe that she was still locked in the tombs with the rest of the tomb vampires.

have they already experienced any problems with their memory?

she has been having dreams of her being human, of her dying. but she hasn’t figured it out that they are real memories. she has caked it up to being just dreams for desires to go back to the innocent girl that she had been before being turned.

what has she remembered?

she remembers why she turned and how she turned. she remembers that her family was murdered by klaus and she remembers her time at the salvatore boarding house, but everything else has vanished--- blackness. like her memory has just vanished from her.

what is their job?

she currently does not have a job as she does not what the salvatore brother’s to figure out that she is in town --- just yet. though she is waitress outside of mystic falls city limits.

do they know about the supernatural? if so, how did they find out?

yes, she does. sadly, due to her past & now being a vampire, she had to find out about the supernatural all too soon in life.

is there anything about the way you play them that should be known?

i have played katherine on & off for years --- she’s been one of my favorite characters since she was first introduced.  so, i have always given katherine a more deeper portrayal. not just the cut throat girl that always put herself first. she does care for each brother -- both damon & stefan. but she never wanted damon to know that she actually cared for him. she doesn’t like people to know that she does feel everything. she views it as people that could use it against it --- like a weakness. 

there’s a song that i always said describes how i viewed & always tried to play katherine by -- the song is “ the lonley by christina perri. there’s a fanvideo on youtube with the title called “ katerina petrova | can the lonley take the place of you “ & it’s the video that always tugs at my heart strings for katherine.  so i try to play her a bit different than how the tv show has her out to be. she won’t just be cold hearted, though that is how she appears but deep down that is not true. she has never once turned off her humanity. she deals with her pain, heartbreak, anger --- she deals with every single bit of her humanity head on. 

i believe she just puts herself above love to stay alive, cause canon!kat said in 2x01 that she never loved damon but than admitted to canon!elena in 2x22 that she did in fact LOVED both salvatore brother’s and that it was okay for canon!elena to love them both. 

any plots that you’d like for them?

mostly just come to with any huge plots that you may want to do. i love plots but there aren’t many that i have, i always love to work out & toss back and forth ideas with others to come up with plots. so hopefully i’ll add to this once i get some plots going with everyone.  but the only plot that i have in mind right now for kat-- it’s more so for canon!kat, so maybe it’ll come into play with she regains her memories ( if she does ) is that she truly did care for each pair of brothers that she has been with. aka damon and stefan, klaus and elijah. i believe that’s why she fears klaus so much because at one point she did deeply care for him when she was human until she found out why he was interested in her and when she deserved the monster that he had hidden from her when they first met.

do you have any headcanons for their new life?

no, not at the moment. yes i know that i suck, lol.
