Republic v. Obrecido III, G.R. No. 154380, October 5, 2005

FACTS: Cipriano Orbecido III married Lady Myros M. Villanueva at the United Church of Christ in the Philippines in Lam-an, Ozamis City, on May 24, 1981. They were blessed with a with a son and a daughter, Kristoffer Simbortriz V. Orbecido and Lady Kimberly V. Orbecido.

 

Lady Myros left for the United States bringing along their son Kristoffer in 1986. After few years, Cipriano discovered that his wife had been naturalized as an American citizen. Cipriano learned from his son that his wife had obtained a divorce decree sometime in 2000 and then married a certain Innocent Stanley and lived in California. He then filed with the trial court a petition for authority to remarry invoking Paragraph 2 of Article 26 of the Family Code. No opposition was filed. Finding merit in the petition, the court granted the same. The Republic, herein petitioner, through the Office of the Solicitor General (OSG), sought reconsideration but it was denied. Orbecido filed a petition for review of certiorari on the Decision of the RTC.

 

ISSUE: Whether or not respondent Orbecido can remarry under Article 26 of the Family Code.

 

RULLING: No, Orbecido cannot remarry under Article 26 of the Family Code because Paragraph 2 of Article 26 of the Family Code only applies to a valid mixed marriage; that is, a marriage celebrated between a Filipino citizen and an alien and since he failed to prove that his wife was already naturalized as an American citizen and obtained a divorce decree sometime in 2000 therefore he was still barred from remarrying.

FULL VERSION: (x)

Notes & lyrics:

(Note: these lyrics are directly transcribed out of the audio and i’m going off my memory, so there may be inaccuracies.)

[Hades is sat down on a stool downstage stage left (our right), in that little space outside the turntable but still on the main floor. Orpheus is in the center facing him; two spotlights are on him and Hades. Persephone, Eurydice, and the Workers stand behind him. The workers back off and Persephone moves to upstage center stage; Eurydice holds him close for a moment, a look on her face saying “be careful,” before backing off with the crowd of Workers.

A Fate presents Orpheus with his guitar; he takes it, and she walks away. Hermes comes over and places his mic stand in front of Orpheus, puts his hands together in a motion of almost-prayer, then backs off back to his station.

All eyes are on him. Orpheus twitches under the attention.]

ORPHEUS King of shadows King of shades Hades was king Of the underworld

HADES (spoken) Oh, it’s about me, huh?

[Orpheus pauses, nervous. He looks to Hermes.]

HERMES (spoken) Go on.

[He continues, slowly gathering confidence and an odd serenity.]

ORPHEUS But he fell in love with a beautiful lady Who walked up above In her mother’s green field He fell in love with Persephone Who was gathering flowers in the light of the sun And I know how it was because He was like me A man In love with a woman

… singing la, la la la, la la la… La, la la la, la la, la…

HADES (spoken) Where’d you get that melody…?

[Hades stands up and begins to approach.]

ORPHEUS La, la la la, la la la…

[Persephone moves slightly stage right and holds out her hand in a gesture and stops him.]

PERSEPHONE (spoken) Let him finish, Hades.

ORPHEUS La, la la la, la la… You didn’t know how And you didn’t know why But you knew that you wanted to take her home

[Orpheus turns to face Eurydice, who steps forward. The lights become tinted lavender--the color in between Hadestown’s fiery red and the Top’s cool blue.]

You saw her alone there against the sky It was like she was someone you’d always known It was like you were holding the world when you held her Like yours were the arms that the whole world was in

[The turntable begins to spin, Eurydice and Persephone standing on opposite sides . Eurydice keeps her eyes on Orpheus; Persephone keeps hers on Hades.]

And there were no words for the way that you felt So you opened your mouth And you started to sing…

La, la la la, la la la…

ALL¹ & ORPHEUS La, la la la, la la, la

ORPHEUS La, la la la, la la la

[Hades begins walking around the turntable, agitated, looking at all those who have joined in his melody, almost in a panic. The Workers, Hermes, and the Fates all come down onto the turntable’s outer ring and orbit around Orpheus. Hades is the only one out of sync.]

ALL & ORPHEUS² La, la la la, la la La, la la la, la la la

[He and Hades are together on the center turntable as it rises up and begins to rotate, Orpheus focused and impassioned, Hades staring at him and then gazing around at everyone who has come down to orbit around Orpheus and his melody. Eurydice and Persephone stand, still looking up at the two of them, while the Fates, the Workers, and Hermes are all moving in synchronization around the turntable in broad motions that match the scope of the song.]

La, la la la, la la, la

ORPHEUS La, la, la…

ALL & ORPHEUS La, la la la, la la la La, la la la, la la…

[Orpheus & Chorus continue. The band cuts. Eventually the song settles, the center turntable lowering back down, and the music begins to fade back in with Orpheus on guitar. The Workers and Eurydice clear away to stage left (our right); the Fates find spots upstage center stage; Hermes moves to stage right out of the spotlight; Hades has stepped out downstage stage right on the turntable. He faces away from Orpheus and all the rest of them. Persephone stands across from him, downstage stage left. Everyone has eyes on Hades.]

CHORUS La, la… la, la…

ORPHEUS And what has become of the heart of that man Now that the man is king? What has become of the heart of that man Now that he has everything?

The more he has The more he holds The greater the weight of the world on his shoulders See how he labors beneath that load Afraid to look up And afraid to let go

So he keeps his head low He keeps his back bending He grown so afraid that he’ll lose what he owns But what he doesn’t know is that what he’s defending Is already gone

[Hades turns slowly towards Persephone. Very slowly, they approach each other. The light is tinted lavender.]

Where is the treasure inside of your chest? Where is your pleasure? Where is your youth? Where is the man with his arms outstretched To the woman he loves With nothing to lose

Singing la, la la la, la la la…

[Orpheus stops playing. Hades sings, unimaginably soft.]

HADES … la, la la la, la la la…

[Persephone weeps. She nods.]

ORPHEUS La, la la la, la la la…

[She holds her hands out to him.]

ORPHEUS & HADES & PERSEPHONE La, la la la, la la…

[Hades moves to take them. A flower blooms in his hands. He looks down at it curiously, as though surprised; everyone else seems to be as well.

Persephone nods.

They weep.]

¹ Minus Hades, of course. ² Hard to tell because I was up in the nosebleeds, but I think I caught Reeve getting teary here. ³ I think the workers take off their skullcaps and regain that little bit of individuality with their different hairstyles during this song also, but I’m at a loss as to where. But they step up in pairs and remove them.

flower anon goes to hadestown and has a TIME

so there is no possible way for me to express my feelings and emotionsTM about Hadestown or my weekend in New York in an ask so I am sending them here. Just for context: I saw four shows in two days (my bank account is extremely pissed at me but it was worth it) and they were all special and phenomenal in their own ways. However, we do not have all the time in the world so I am just going to word vomit about Hadestown. 

So it is Sunday morning, I am on 48th and I am seeing The Lightening Thief at 1 but I made brownies for the cast and crew (as well as a separate batch for Eva because last time someone bought treats to the show she didn’t get one) and I was unsure if security would let me into the theatre with the food. So I “stagedoored” Hadestown as the cast and crew were coming in for the morning. I gave the first batch to Kay and she was incredibly sweet and lovely. I explained that the brownies were in fact not full of drugs (I do not have the money for that!!) which she laughed at and then we went on our merry ways. 

After Lightening Thief I had some time to kill before Hadestown so I went to dinner and when I walked back to the Walter Kerr they were stagedooring for the matinee show. I decided to wait and give Eva the batch that I made for her because I literally had nothing else to do. So Eva comes out and I’m at the very end so I am expecting her to come to me last (which is fine, I was going to see her again at the evening stagedoor!) but she STRUTTED down my way and I explained that these were for her and that I hoped she was surviving the two show day. She said that she had to give me a hug and of course I accepted. Then she complimented my top (which was leopard print) and exposed her neck tattoo and was like “they match!!” Eva was so lovely and then I left to let the people stagedooring enjoy their experience. 

Fast forward a little I am sitting in the Walter Kerr and it is starting to come over me that I am actually here and about to see this show. Then the light dims and Andre came out and opened the show. Saying “aiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight” back in harmony with the audience was indescribable, just as the actors were centring themselves for the show, I was centring myself for an unforgettable experience. 

Now I am just going to transition into some notes about the show (i would do every song but we would be here a while, so I am just doing what impacted me the most/I recall): 

The first trombone note played and INSTANTLY my eyes were misty oops 

when Hermes is introducing everyone Orpheus was kind of fidgeting/extending his fingers in a very specific way and was a very cute and subtle way of expressing his kind of nervousness/anxiety/ticks whatever you want to refer to it as 

The la la las hit so different live like holy shit the way the sound radiates around the theatre is magical and unlike anything else. 

The first interaction of Orpheus and Eurydice had my heart soft and I was not ready in any shape or form for anything to happen to them other than love and happiness 

At the end of Road to Hell when Hermes sings “we’re going to sing it again” Hermes WENT OFF. The lighting is absolutely gorgeous and the whole cast is like jazz handing at him and he holds it for an ungodly length of time and it was a legendary opening. 

HEARING EVA LIVE WAS EVERYTHING i watched her with wide eyes and so much love in my heart like i didn’t realise how intense the sound would be in a live space. I dont know shit about how sound and mics work but man like it is so different live the whole show I had chills.

Come home with me and wedding song are so fucking tender and horny like god i love this couple so much i had a bad seat for watching Eurydice drop her coat shoulder when she tells orpheus if he wants to take her home he better werk but the teasing tone in her voice was iconic and his little breathy hitch got me like isahdfsdhflhdf

During living it up on top when Eurydice dances with the workers chorus she did the Leg KickTM and I felt blessed 

also during his toast Orpheus’ voice broke when he said “To the Patroness” and it was the cutest thing in the world i love my nervous son 

All I’ve ever known was the first song to make me cry cry, it is just so sweet and such a special depiction of love and really hit home for me. it says a lot about me that the tender and horny song is the one that broke me. When the leg thing happened I was unable to breathe for a moment 

the tender horniess continues during way down, and i specifically watched the kiddos because I love to suffer. They start on a stool and orpheus kisses her neck while she taps the beat of the song on his thigh and theyre just so in love my heart could not take it. They move then to the centre of the stage and spoon and you can see Orpheus’ feet tapping along to the music here too. 

Chant is so fucking sexy there is literally no other way to describe it, everything about the design and the way it is performed is so so so good like h o l y s h i t it is so good. However I hate Hades sunglasses and wish they were different because they just make him look like my racist uncle lol 

Wait for me gave me a panic attack because i was very worried about bby orpheus getting bonked on the head but also THE LIGHTING IS SO SEXY the lighting tony was so well deserved i’m glad the american theatre wing did like at least one (1) thing right. Also i was full on crying at this point. 

Why we build the wall…. powerful shit I watched persephone during this and her facial expressions tell such an intense story of love, hate, desperation, and drunkenness. 

flowers rekt me and left me for dead. it was such an emotional performance and i personally resonate with this song a lot (haha thats trauma baby) AND THEN THE TRANSITION TO TENDER LOVING COME HOME WITH ME stomped on my grave. also orpheus ran right by me and i was like GO GET HER YOU LANKY FUCK 

i usually don’t listen past flowers because self care and I was already an emotional mess so when if its true began i was full on weeping. I felt so bad for the people next to me, you physically see orpheus break down and it shattered me and then rebuild with the support of the worker and the hope become restored (but it isnt strong enough in the end (OUCH)) 

epic iii instrumental with the dance was just so full of young love hades and persephone just beam at eachother in this new wonderful way and once again, i was weeping because orpheus did it he la la laed the world back into tune and it is so tender and so full of love 

EVAS BELT IN WAIT FOR ME REPRISE GOT ME FEELING ALL KINDS OF CRAZY i was leaning so aggressively forward in my seat i want to remember that sound FOREVER 

doubt comes in was a really bad time. obviously i know the story but something about the show makes you hold on to all the hope in the world and I was literally sitting in my seat, my nails digging into the flesh of my palm thinking “cmon orpheus you know who you are you can do this hold on please hold on” AND THEYRE SO SNEAKY WITH THE LIGHTS IT GETS HOPEFUL AND THE SET COMES BACK TOGETHER AND THEN IT HAPPENS AND OH LORD i audibly gasped and the tears were STREAMING down my face and the face of the lady next to me who had no idea of the story rip to her man 

i literally cannot recall any of road to hell reprise visually because my eyes were so messed up with tears but hermes voice was almost like a blanket coming to wrap me up and hold me again after all that hurt and hold on to the hope that it might in fact turn out next time we sing it 

also i made an active choice to not listen to we raise our cups before the show and BOY HOWDY that was a choice because the moment it began the tears came once more and it was magical watching the audience (all standing, get that standing ovation) taking in the last little bit of magic that the show offers you and the feeling of hope and light that seeing a sunflower in all of its beauty brings. 

after the show i stagedoored and was lucky enough to meet and talk with Cherie the SM (she called the show too so I felt rlly lucky) and she wished me good luck in law school then i met John, Timothy, Jewelle, Anthony, Kimberly, and of course Reeve and Eva. I might have cried on the train home and yeah it was just this absolutely incredible and life changing moment, I feel so lucky that I was able to go it was worth it in every sense of the word. Hadestown went above and beyond and I will hold on to the memories forever.

Costume Ideas for Halloween 2018: Boom! Studios edition (Power Rangers 25th anniversary)

It is that time of year again and we are going to start off with Power Rangers since this is their big year. Boom! Studios has blessed fans with a ton of new options for trick or treat this year to dedicated cosplayers, so we are going to start off with a few of them before moving on to the usual fare.

First up, of course, is...

Lord Drakkon (Evolution I, Evolution II and III)

One of the deadliest threats to the Power Rangers thus far, Drakkon made a lasting impact on the franchise. Having some good looking upgraded forms is definitely going to leave a lasting impression on fans. He starts out as a MMPR-Samurai hybrid, then evolves further with the Red Zeo subcrystal before attaining godhood by becoming one with the Morphin Grid. 

Female fans can do the standard Gokai Change method if they wish by adding a skirt or do an even wilder alternate take where Ranger Slayer Kimberly kills Evil Tommy and takes the powers for herself, adding the Bow of Darkness to the costume. However fans go about it, if done well, you will look like a badass when entering a room or going door to door for those elusive Snickers, M&Ms or other goodies.

“Super Zack” (or a variation) from “Forever Mighty Morphin Black”

Superheroes are all the rage these days, in movies, tv and in merch. So what if Power Rangers were a more traditional western style superhero team rather than an adaptation of a Japanese superhero show? You get this guy from a short story in one of the MMPR Comic annuals!

This version of Zack can fly like Superman and sports a variation of the classic MMPR Black Ranger suit with a full black cape, Superman-like boots that have a single black diamond with a white outline and elbow length gloves with black lining on the hand and finger parts of it. Or, if you have time, you could design a variant of the other colors. Imagine how cool a White, Pink, Red, Green, Yellow, Blue or even a Zeo version could be!

Zombie ‘69 Rangers

Let’s face it, these poor guys didn’t get enough “screentime” for our tastes. So, what if there was a “Blackest Night” scenario?  Zombie Power Rangers! Admittedly, a bit too gruesome for the kiddies, but scares are part of what Halloween is for right?

This would be an easy one, just wear tattered 1960s-ish clothes, a little make up and carry a Power Morpher or go crazy and make mangled Power Ranger suits. Daniel’s would have the shattered helmet visor with scary zombie eyes peering out of it, Jaime’s would have bloody entrails sticking out since she was crushed to death and Nikolai’s would be a singed Blue Ranger suit with exposed burns and some skeletal make up. 

Silver Space Ranger Sentry

A fan favorite among shows in the Power Rangers lore is Power Rangers in Space. So it stands to reason that a representative of what could go wrong if evil got that team’s Ranger powers should be present on this list. 

The Silver Space Sentries are vastly different from their original counterpart, equipped with a combat utility belt with the (Mega)Ranger symbol in the center and a few bulky pouches on each side of the hips, a jetpack with shoulder padding, kneepads and some kind of device on the left shoulder (energy gage?). Some kind of breathing apparatus tube flows into the helmet and they are equipped with twin blasters. 

Honestly, I chose this one out of the recent ones not cosplayed yet because the White Jungle Fury Rhino and Gold Dino Charge are way more complicated to replicate from scratch due to all the armor. But if you can pull those off, I’d love to see you complete the challenge!

And lastly for now, our recent lovely morphin’ lady, since Ranger Slayer is all the rage and cosplayed quite a lot, it helps to go for the less mainstream.

Solar Ranger

This shy-but-kinda-maybe-evil little sunshine gal is still very new, having not even uttered a word yet in the comics so far. And while her full costume hasn’t been given a lot of time to show off, we can tell that the costume has a purple hoodie with gold lining, bandages on her wrists and boots, some kind of star like pattern, gauntlets or morpher on the gloves and seemingly takes heavy inspiration from Kamen Rider Ghost and Kyuranger with a touch of SPD thrown in. She wields some kind of discus weapon that may or may not be made of purple crystal or just energy.

It is a challenge to translate to real world costume given the cosmic pattern of stars in her suit. But for the helmet, I recommend a purple or violet Maziora or Chromaflair paint and a few custom flakes to bring the “star” effect to life. Just be sure not to hurt yourself when applying and wear a mask when spraying. Since her costume is gender neutral like Trini’s suit, a Rule 63 is pretty simple to pull off, just make it fit your body with no add-ons needed.

And there you have it! 7 costume ideas to kick off the spoopy-spooky season.

Article 23 of the Family Code

It shall be the duty of the person solemnizing the marriage to furnish either of the contracting parties the original of the marriage certificate referred to in Article 6 and to send the

duplicate and triplicate copies of the certificate not later than fifteen days after the marriage, to the local civil registrar of the place where the marriage was solemnized. 

Proper receipts shall be issued by the local civil registrar to the solemnizing officer transmitting copies of the marriage certificate. The solemnizing officer shall

retain in his file the quadruplicate copy of the marriage certificate, the original of the marriage license and, in proper cases, the affidavit of the contracting party regarding the solemnization of the

marriage in a place other than those mentioned in Article 8. (68a)

Case: Republic vs. Orbecido III, October 5, 2005

Facts: On May 24, 1981, Cipriano Orbecido III married Lady Myros M. Villanueva at the United Church of Christ in the Philippines in Lam-an, Ozamis City. Their marriage was blessed with a son and a daughter, Kristoffer Simbortriz V. Orbecido and Lady Kimberly V. Orbecido. 

In 1986, Cipriano’s wife left for the United States bringing along their son Kristoffer. A few years later, Cipriano discovered that his wife had been naturalized as an American citizen.Sometime in 2000, Cipriano learned from his son that his wife had obtained a divorce decree and then married a certain Innocent Stanley. She, Stanley and her child by him currently live at 5566 A. Walnut Grove Avenue, San Gabriel, California.  

Cipriano thereafter filed with the trial court a petition for authority to remarry invoking Paragraph 2 of Article 26 of the Family Code. No opposition was filed. Finding merit in the petition, the court granted the same. The Republic, herein petitioner, through the Office of the Solicitor General (OSG), sought reconsideration but it was denied.

Issue: WHETHER OR NOT RESPONDENT CAN REMARRY UNDER ARTICLE 26 OF THE FAMILY CODE

Held: Yes. The Court’s unanimous decision in holding Article 26, paragraph 2 of the Family Code be interpreted as allowing a Filipino citizen who has been divorced by a spouse who had acquired a citizenship and remarried, also to remarry under Philippine law. 

The article should be interpreted to include cases involving parties who, at the time of the celebration of the marriage were Filipino citizens, but later on,one of them became naturalized as a foreign citizen and obtained a divorce decree. 

The instant case was one where at the time the marriage was solemnized, the parties were two Filipino citizens, but later on, the wife was naturalized as an American citizen and subsequently obtained a divorce granting her capacity to remarry, and indeed, she remarried an American citizen while residing in the US. The Filipino spouse should likewise be allowed to remarry as if the other party were a foreigner at the time of the solemnization of the marriage.

However, since Orbecido was not able to prove as fact his wife’s naturalization, he was still barred from remarrying.

New Post has been published on https://mix1079.net/garth-brooks-won-entertainer-of-the-year-at-last-nights-cmas-and-carrie-underwood-didnt/?utm_source=TR&utm_medium=1079mixfm+on+Tumblr&utm_campaign=SNAP

Garth Brooks Won Entertainer of the Year at Last Night's CMAs . . . and Carrie Underwood Didn't

We all knew the spotlight would be on the “women of country” at last night’s “53rd Annual CMA Awards”, and it was . . . until the end, when GARTH BROOKS won Entertainer of the Year. 

That last female to win that award was Taylor Swift in 2011.  The favorite this year seemed to be CARRIE UNDERWOOD.  She launched an all-female tour, worked hard promoting her album, but didn’t win a thing.  She was up for three awards. 

The CMAs did come through with a solid show.  It opened with an all-female medley that started with Carrie and her co-hosts, DOLLY PARTON, and REBA MCENTIRE.

And then came Jennifer Nettles, Kimberly Schlapman, Karen Fairchild, The Highwomen, Tanya Tucker, Gretchen Wilson, Crystal Gayle, Terri Clark, Sara Evans, and Martina McBride . . . who all took turns honoring decades of female country songs.

That could’ve been a tough moment to follow but Carrie, Dolly, and Reba rolled into the monologue without missing a beat.  They didn’t do any long and involved comedy bits, as Carrie did with Brad Paisley, but they didn’t need them.  They’re pros.

As for the performances:  MIRANDA LAMBERT had a spark in her eye while singing “It All Comes Out in the Wash”.  I think marriage agrees with her.  Speaking of that:  How many years before she and Blake Shelton shake hands and make nice?

We were treated to PINK and CHRIS STAPLETON doing “Love Me Anyway”.  It was one of those performances that remind you why awards shows can be so awesome.  It got a standing ovation.

OLD DOMINION performed “One Man Band” and it was subdued but really good.  Even better, later on in the show, they won their second Vocal Group of the Year award.

Hey, LUKE COMBS did a wardrobe change.  He was all dressed up when he accepted Song of the Year for “Beautiful Crazy”, but when he returned later to sing “Beer Never Broke My Heart” he was in short sleeves and a cap.  And then the suit came back when he won Male Vocalist of the Year.  For some reason, I love that.

KELSEA BALLERINI went solo with her guitar while performing “Homecoming Queen?”.  And then she launched into “Girl Crush”, which kicked off another succession of female performers that included Lindsay Ell, Runaway June, Maddie & Tae, Ashley McBryde, Carly Pearce . . . and Little Big Town.

The LADY ANTEBELLUM and HALSEY collaboration featured stripped-down versions of Lady A’s “What If I Never Get Over You”, and Halsey’s “Graveyard”.  They sounded great together.  How about an album?

The guitars came out and the volume turned up when BROTHERS OSBORNE joined BROOKS & DUNN for “Hard Workin’ Man”.

A night dedicated to women in country music seemed right for a pregnant MAREN MORRIS to perform her song “Girl”.  She also won Album of the Year for “Girl”.

Blake Shelton did a nice thing while performing “God’s Country”.  He showcased his fiddle player Jenee Fleenor, which was cool for two reasons.  She won CMA Musician of the Year, and, believe it or not, she was the first woman to ever win that award.

Hands down, the sweetest moment of the night was when KACEY MUSGRAVES and her hero WILLIE NELSON performed “The Muppet Movie” song “Rainbow Connection”.  Unfortunately, Willie’s voice was wavering, but that’s okay.

(There’s a nice selection of red carpet photos at CMAAwards.com.  And you can check out performance clips and photos on the CMA Awards Instagram page.) 

(TasteOfCountry.com did their Best-Dressed list . . . and Worst-Dressed list.)

Here’s your complete list of winners . . .

Entertainer of the Year:  Garth Brooks

Male Vocalist of the Year:  Luke Combs

Female Vocalist of the Year:  Kacey Musgraves

Vocal Duo of the Year:  Dan + Shay

Vocal Group of the Year:  Old Dominion

New Artist of the Year:  Ashley McBryde

Album of the Year:  “Girl”, Maren Morris

Song of the Year:  “Beautiful Crazy”, Luke Combs.  It’s a songwriter’s award so he shares it with Wyatt B. Durrette III, and Robert Williford.

Single of the Year:  “God’s Country”, Blake Shelton

Musical Event of the Year:  “Old Town Road (Remix)”, Lil Nas X featuring Billy Ray Cyrus

Music Video of the Year:  “Rainbow”, Kacey Musgraves

“The Wana Sambo Woman is Strong, Sexy & Exotic. She is you, she is everything you dare to be.”

All around the globe, women are fiercely taking charge and shattering boundaries in politics, sports, tech, media, finance, etc. The Wana Sambo brand has decided to celebrate these women by naming each garment after one woman every season, all year round to celebrate her achievement(s).

“The Woman Who Conquers” (Part 1) is an ode to women who do not conform to ideals that put limitations on women in the society. These women have defied the odds while daring to be more.

Home Life During Childhood — it was good, her parents have a bit of a strained relationship, but overall kept up appearances around Lady, and she was definitely spoiled. When she turned 16, they told her the truth about being adopted, but Lady just kind of--elected to ignore it, at least on the surface. What did it matter? Her parents still loved her and everything. Things only got tense when her mom got pregnant. Her father is warm, but he’s also very serious and gone a lot, works long hours. Especially when she was a kid because he was a lawyer--he only recently graduated to judge. Her mom and her were really close until she got pregnant.

What Did His or Her Bedroom Look Like — She’s had the same bedroom her whole life and has changed many times. But, it was always pretty organized. Soft pastel colors.

The room is decorated to match those colors--pinks and yellows and reds. Any Sports or Clubs — She did softball in middle school, rode horses basically her whole life.

Did well. Hardworker. Her grades slipped a little after she found out she was adopted, but she brought them up again quickly. Favorite Subject — English. Popular or Loner — Popular, but softspoken. A follower, not a leader. Important Experiences or Events — Finding out she was adopted. Her first boyfriend (when she was sixteen, his name was Patrick Banks, they broke up pretty amicably.) Her first girlfriend (Constance, was her sorority sister. They kept their relationship a secret. Broke up because Constance wanted to go #public.) Her nudes getting leaked. (By her boyfriend, who she broke up with after he showed up at the sorority house drunk one time, Don Barker. They sued him. (Part of her still loves him, because what they had was ~real.))

Overall (do they get sick easily)? — Pretty hardy, only gets colds and such. Physical Ailments — None Neurological Conditions — None Allergies — None Grooming Habits — Very good. Uses face masks/hair masks. All good high-brow products for her makeup and lotion and stuff like that. Sleeping Habits — Sleeps pretty well. Can’t sleep in. Gets up at 8 almost every morning. Eating Habits — Eats pretty healthily, she’s pretty aware of her weight and doesn’t really like to eat around others except for small things. Which always made her family get-togethers hard. But, she definitely loves her Southern food. Exercise Habits — Does yoga. Goes for walks every morning. Is pretty in-shape. I give her a 6/10. Emotional Stability — Pretty good. She does the whole conceal, don’t feel thing. But she also tries to just push through things. Body Temperature — Runs a little hot. Sociability — She’s kind of nervous and quiet for the most part, a follower, not a leader. But, if she gets the hint of something she’s curious about she doesn’t let it go. Addictions — Sweet tea? Drug Use — None, usually. Has smoked pot before. Has done Molly. Alcohol Use — Binge drinks, but not often.

Your Character’s Character:

Bad Habits — doesn’t speak up for herself, timid, follower, too curious Good Habits — very courteous, also curious, kind, warm Best Characteristic — her curiosity Worst Characteristic — letting herself get pushed around Worst Memory — her break up with her girlfriend, Constance, and her boyfriend, Don--her photos getting leaked. Best Memory — getting inducted into Phi Mu Proud of — her status in Phi Mu Embarrassed by — her leaked nudes, her weight, the fact that she’s adopted. Driving Style — excellent driver, usually the DD for her friends, has a clean record. Strong Points — loyal, kind Temperament — mild, so mild, the most mild, even if she gets bothered, it is hard to annoy her. Attitude — very southern and charming, of course. Weakness — doing whatever people say Fears — that people won’t like her for who she is Phobias — doesn’t like the dark, or snakes, or spiders Secrets — she’s adopted, she is still in love with Don, she actually doesn’t want to be such a Good Girl, is resentful of her brother Regrets — breaking up with Constance/Don, Feels Vulnerable When — people talk about her weight or appearance or what she’s eating, etc, etc Pet Peeves — people who are rude Conflicts — wanting to break out and be rebellious v being afraid Motivation — to prove herself Short Term Goals and Hopes — explore Swynlake and all it has to offer Long Term Goals and Hopes — get married, settle down, start a life Sexuality — bisexual (closeted) Day or Night Person — day person, definitely Introvert or Extrovert — introverted, for sure Optimist or Pessimist — a little bit of both? I’d say more of an optimist for others, pessimist for herself

Likes and Styles:

Music — Country, of course! Loves Dixie Chicks, Lady Antebellum, Garth Brooks, Dierks Bentley. Both the more recent stuff and oldies. Though, she also loves some good pop music and more folky stuff too. She finds rap to be offensive and too “urban” and can’t understand why anyone would listen to something like that. Same with heavier stuff like rock’n’roll or screamo, etc, etc. Anything that shocks or offends is definitely not Lady’s cup of tea. She will go out of the way to listen to the clean versions of songs and I think that says a lot about her. Books — Gone with the Wind is her favorite. Her favourite book as a child was “Because of Winn-Dixie”; A Streetcar Named Desire, loves Pat Conroy and Nicholas Sparks. Also enjoys some Flannery O’Connor. Also enjoys In Cold Blood. Magazines — Oprah’s Magazine, The New Yorker, InStyle, Vogue, Country Living, Vanity Fair, The Weekly Standard, The American Conservative--she has a bit of a magazine addiction. Foods — Lady is very conscious about what she puts in her body. She’s certainly not vegetarian or a health nut, but she tries to balance herself. Though, that is hard to do with all the delicious Southern food. She loves ribs and barbecue and coleslaw and baked beans. Mashed potatoes and gravy. Chicken wings. And she absolutely adores sweets! She loves lemon drops and keeps boxes on her pretty much all the time. Drinks — Sweet tea, of course! Lady’s blood, she’s pretty sure, is sweet tea at this point. Chick-fil-a is the second best sweet tea to the one she makes at home and she used to go and get one almost every day. She was addicted. She’s gonna hate not having Chick-fil-a in Swynlake, or England really at all. Animals — Lady isn’t too much a fan of animals. She likes cute ones--dogs and cats and horses, but hates animals like rats/mice or possums. She believes they’re vermin that should be killed and dealt with. Hates snakes. Hates raccoons. Really she dislikes more animals than she likes probably. Sports — road horses, did softball when younger. Social Issues — right-leaning, is pro-life, things the gays shouldn’t get married (at least, outwardly, she’s still accepting that part of herself), is kind of afraid of people who seem “middle eastern” or uh like y’know just kind of in general American racist. You know. (Which is ironic bc she’s Mexican/Kuwaiti.) Favorite Saying — “After all, tomorrow is another day.” -- Scarlett O’Hara Color — Bright colors! Pinks and blues and reds and yellows--as long as it is bright! She also loves pastels, they are classic when it comes to fashion. Baby blues and powder pinks. She wears a lot of more neutral clothing too, but it is bright colors that make her the happiest and she will almost never be caught in something like black! Clothing — Her favorite stuff is her white dress for most Phi Mu events. Also loves her straw hats. Definitely a fan of her cowboy boots. She tends to dress modern/Southern. Owns way too much Lilly Pulitzer, probably. Jewelry — Her necklace of pearls is her favorite and she wears them to all special occasions. She wears jewelry to accessorize otherwise, but it’s usually costume jewelry. Websites — tumblr, instagram are her big ones TV Shows — Heartland, Pretty Little Liars, Gilmore Girls, Golden Girls, Gossip Girl (do you see the pattern here?) Movies — Gone with the Wind, of course, is a Southern classic. She also loves Under the Tuscan Sun. All Nicholas Sparks movies. Secret Life of Bees. Forrest Gump. Also loves musicals--loved La La Land when it came out and loves Wicked, Phantom of the Opera, etc. Not too sure about Hamilton. Some of the songs are good, but she doesn’t understand the hype. Greatest Want — to fit in somewhere Greatest Need — to accept herself

Where and How Does Your Character Live Now:

Home — She lives with her Aunt Sarah. She hates it. Household furnishings — Pretty modern. Nothing special. Favorite Possession — Her journals. Most Cherished Possession — Her pearls, they were her great grandmother’s. (Her older cousin Sarah Beth was pissed that Lady got them and she didn’t.) Neighborhood — Tortuga Place. Town or City Name — Swynlake Married Before — No. Significant Other Before — Patrick Banks, Constance Gutting, Don Barker Children — None Relationship with Family — A little strained, atm, but overall pretty good. Car — She had a black Chevy Sonic (2015) but not anymore. Career — Journalist for the Swynlake Squire. Dream Career — Journalist for Vogue or InStyle Dream Life — Married, writing a fashion blog, two kids, a dog. Love Life — Pretty nonexistent. Talents or Skills — Excellent writer, very organized, very good at taking care of people. Intelligence Level — Quite smart, rather intelligent.   Finances — Cut off, currently. Makes a meager wage at the Squire.
