CAMILA ARCADIA
EXTROVERTED INTROVERT
EXTROVERTED INTROVERT
24 years old with a passion for life and an accepting family seems like a pretty good set up, right? You'd think, except Camila is stuck in a rut and she's not entirely sure how to work her way out. Jack of all trades, master of none; that's how the saying goes right? She's had plenty of hobbies and pursuits growing up, but it's hard to know what you want to do for the rest of your short lived existance! Not to mention that she's been spoonfed her entire life by her way-too-doting parents, so it makes the 'self sufficient' thing a little rough on an otherwise shy-but-willing girl. An extrovert with the energy level of an introvert makes for a lot of things she wants to do, just not enough time to do all of them!
QUARTER LIFE CRISIS
Camila's parents were relatively well-to-do; they weren't rich, but they had the funds to support Camila throughout any point in her life, which meant feeding a variety of hobbies through her years. She's tried art, tried sports, tried the intellectual pursuits like writing and math, but it's never really... stuck. Music. Music stuck but she knows damn well there's nothing she can do in the real world with it. High school was just a tasting menu of things that never really led her down any specific paths.
Cut to the future and Camila, now age 24, has been shuffling her way through college and changed her major four times. Is it really just a matter of being indecisive? Mila is a bit of a people-pleaser, and she tends to jump on suggestions fervently only to abandon them later. What she wants to do with her future is no different, and every time she thinks she's made up her mind she realizes she hasn't. It wouldn't be so bad, but she's not getting any younger! She spent her entire high school living so much in the present that now the mere concept of the future scares her.
And she's not sure what to do about it.
Cue a few nervous breakdowns and rigorous impulse decisions, and now you'll find Camila living on her own in Ashdown. Does she have any idea what she's doing? Absolutely not! She's just as directionless as she started, and she's a little mad that the movies lied to her. Cutting her roots and starting over is not very liberating, but she's not about to tell her parents that she's coming home so soon either. They're still paying all her bills for Christ's sake! She can do this! Anyone else in her position could! But...
It doesn't change the fact that she's still utterly lost.
TIME'S TICKIN
Things around Mila never seem to age. Food specifically seems to be the most noticeable, as fruits seem to take forever to spoil! Everything in her pantry has a pretty impressive shelf life, actually, and she's not sure why!
ANYTHING ELSE?
+ Mila likes nicknames! Cam is fine, Mila is what her parents called her, Dia is cute...
+ She's also 24 years old like mentioned.
+ Camila's college major history was all over the ******** place. Currently she's back to undeclared and taking the semester (or two, or three...) off to try and... sort through this goddamn mess.
+ She has a wide range of hobbies, but never devotes the time to more than two or so at once. Music is the only constant, but she doesn't treat it like a career, nor does she have any desire to.
+ Mila is, on that note, a firm believer that it's impossible to actually work a job that you can love, which is precisely why she avoids incorporating her music into her work in the first place. God forbid she grow to hate it.
+ She's not actually that pessimistic on the front though! Mila loves life and experiencing things.
+ "Owns" (see: parents own) a flat closer to the outer edges of town. The view of the Waite-State forest in the back is nice, and it's in reasonable walking distance (Mila thirty minutes isn't that reasonable).
