Personality

Roxanne is stoic and strong, yet loyal to the bone. She's tough, athletic, but not much of a conversationalist. She makes for her lack of conversation with bluntness, sarcasm, irony, and occasionally brutality. A straightforward athlete, Roxanne lives for the speed and thrill and is willing to take up any challenge. She is also calm and collected compared to someone who might be more perky. Thanks to her athleticism, Roxanne is resourceful, adaptable, and can hold her own. However, because of her fierce attitude, Roxanne is not the most approachable person to be around nor is she willing to accept limits, and at worst she can be highly opinionated. Even those closest to her can have a hard time to help her to open up. Due to her dedication, she also has little patience for people who move at a leisurely or frivolous pace.

Despite her stinginess, frank, and cynical ways, Roxanne is a strong-willed woman who would do anything to protect her loved ones. When things get tough, she can become very serious and puts their lives over any obstacle that comes in her way. She is able to take control of a situation even when the odds are against her, making her a natural leader when needed be. Roxanne is committed to what she believes in and is determined to get the job done, which she passes on to her loved ones when their hopes are down. Along with her loyalty, Roxanne has a strong code of honor and uncompromising values.

However, what lies behind Roxanne's rough shell is perhaps an immensely compassionate heart towards humanity in general. She also tends to be recalcitrant, uncooperative and reckless and is known to head into conflict without thinking. Roxanne is fiercely independent and unapologetically authentic.  She doesn’t try to change for others.  She is not warm, sentimental, or overly emotional, but she cares deeply.  She wouldn’t do anything she doesn’t think is right.  She doesn’t talk about her feelings, but she acts on them. No words, no need to express what she feels. She just does what she likes or what she believes is right.

Roxanne  is direct, blunt, and to the point, which means sometimes she comes off as rude.  She wants to take action, and she wants to get stuff done.  She doesn’t accumulate information for the sake of it, she has a purpose behind her actions.  She doesn’t put up with nonsense and isn’t afraid to say so. Roxanne always trusts her gut, or her intuition, about a situation. It never lets her down.

Past: From the time Roxanne was born, it seemed as if she was destined for greatness. She was always testing the limits alongside being mischievous and rebellious. The fact that she was a tomboy just set things in place even more. When Roxanne was 8, she found her true calling in racing and became very invested in kart races, working her way up as she got older and went through puberty, joining the SCCA by the time she was 15.

Roxanne became very popular at school and in the community because of her racing and overall athleticism. She had many admirers including a billionaire named Christian Valentino whom she lost her virginity to on her 18th birthday even though he was 12 years her senior and married. Even though her family disapproved of their relationship, Roxanne and Christian continued to see each other and when she graduated from high school, she moved in with him after his wife left due to the illicit affair. Roxanne's reputation in the racing circuit along with Christian's connections resulted in her going professional and her career skyrocketed.

Six months later, Roxanne discovered that she was pregnant and Christian proposed to her in response. Balancing her newfound career, pregnancy, and college was very stressful for Roxanne but she got through it thanks to Christian's love and support. At age 20, Roxanne had a son which she decided to name Raphael.

Christian was overjoyed to finally be a father but sadly he didn't get to experience it as he died in a car accident when Raphael was 6 months old. Roxanne was devastated and when Christian's will was read, it was discovered that he changed it so she and his son would inherit everything he owned instead of his ex-wife. 

Deciding to live her life the fullest the way Christian would want her to, Roxanne graduated from school at the top of her class, majoring in Industrial Design and Mechanical Engineering. Now she's a huge international celebrity, focusing on her career and raising her son the best she can with support from her family and friends.

Personality

On the outside, Raymond may seem tough, intimidating, and looks like he has it all together. He might even look like he's not very compassionate or good at empathy. But that couldn't be further from the truth. Underneath his tough shell lies a sensitive man filled with compassion and lots of love to give. Raymond is a very complex machine indeed. He has a hatred for instability and the complete inability to be decisive. This makes him a wonder to behold for anyone lucky enough to be allowed into his inner world.

Raymond is very nurturing and need both to be nurtured and to nurture others which makes him a great family man. Unfortunately it's in his nature to distrust just about anything and anyone. It's what helps him survive in life. Raymond's very secretive and private to the point of notoriety. If he shows any vulnerability whatsoever, he really likes that person or environment. Another defining trait most people notice about Raymond is his charm. From his dashing smile to his gorgeous eyes, you won't be able to pull yourself away from his charm. What's more is that he knows just how captivating he can be and will often use that to his advantage when he lures you in.

Raymond is a very moody being. His emotions can change quicker than a flash of lightening and back again before the thunder claps. One minute he's hiding in his shell, the next he's holding you close, and before you know it, he's got that pincer hooked into your soft spot, then he's back to crying in his shell again. If in doubt, he can be jealous and controlling. Some might even call him clingy, insecure, needy, moody, or boring. He's also a bit reclusive.

Raymond leads with his heart, not his mind, and is therefore extremely affectionate, sensitive, thoughtful, intuitive, caring, and easily hurt. He is an expert in emotions and makes an excellent life partner both in a platonic and romantic sense. The way to his heart is through his stomach or his family. He is a bit of a home-body and invests a lot of thought and energy on (and time in) his home environment. His relatives are very important to him and getting to know them or his friends is a great way to enter into the heart of his world.

Past: Raymond had an upbringing with structure and firm but loving discipline. He was raised to have family values, personal responsibility, and a strict moral code. But Raymond went against everything his family stood for when he befriended a Latino girl named Carmelita at age 13. She lived in the South Side of Chicago unlike Raymond whose family was rich and she was a member of the Latin Kings and Queens which he didn't even find out about until 2 years later.

Despite his family's concern for Raymond's safety, he continued to hang out with Carmelita, even getting involved in some of her gang activity. Their relationship quickly turned sexual and once Raymond graduated from high school, he decided to move to Memphis to go to college and Carmelita willingly followed and moved in with him, her reputation as a Latin Queen enabling her to do so.

As Carmelita became more and more involved in the gang life, Raymond focused on his studies, deciding to become a sexual educator and therapist. But Carmelita's gang life caught up with her and three years later, she and Raymond were pulled over with ten kilos of cocaine in their trunk. Not wanting Raymond's life to be ruined, Carmelita took the full brunt of the charges and was sentenced to 12 years in prison at age 21.

Raymond stayed right by her side especially once Carmelita told him that she was pregnant with twins. She gave birth to twin girls that she named Diana and Diane, allowing Raymond to have full custody of them. But it came at the cost of their relationship as Carmelita decided to end things with Raymond, wanting him to live his life and raise their daughters better than she ever could.

Now Raymond is a single father raising his daughters on his own all while having a prolific career in sex therapy and education.
