Mel Zamudio for Opal
Opal:
24 year old girl
She is very bold and extroverted, needing to be around people a lot of the time
She can be selfish, whiny, egocentric, lazy, greedy, competitive, vindictive, lustful, and easily driven to anger when insulted or hurt
Despite all these flaws, she is extremely caring towards what and who she cares about; she also is enjoyable to be around and has a keen sense of fun; she is often seen being goofy, happy-go-lucky, and flirtatious (she is very much a glass half full type of girl)
Opal does not and can not conceal her emotions, what’s going on on the outside is usually what’s going on on the inside
Opal is NOT stupid, Opal is actually fairly intelligent and capable, but she still makes dumb decisions based on her impulses
While she does go after a lot of guys, she always goes after them from a place of power and self confidence, not out of an attempt for attention
Opal is unapologetically herself, and is very confident in herself as well
Opal is hardly embarrassed about anything, being the type to openly talk about sexual encounters, but she can be embarrassed about liking “nerd things”
-
Opal enjoys life, despite everything it throws at her
Though at times she can get really sad and vulnerable, but will always reach out for help
-
When engaged in something, she can be really motivated with what she’s doing
At the same time, when something is boring, she can be incredibly unmotivated
[Waiting at the front desk to a barren store, extremely bored] "Ugh, my brain… stupid boss won’t even allow me to use my phone..." (The phone rings, she picks it up, and answers in a fake cheery attitude) "Hello, this is ‘Clever Closet,’ the smartest clothing store in town, Opal speaking, how may I help you?" [She then thinks to herself in either rage or disgust.] "I hate this slogan so freaking much."
[Recounting a story about a bad mistake she made while drinking]. "Anyway, we got to talking, and he was telling me all about his problems and stuff, and I mean, we got a bit drunk..." [apologizing to her best friend] "I'm really sorry I missed the movie night we had planned..."
[Extremely happy] "Oh my God!! I love it! It's so cute, and fluffy, and cute! I just want to hug the little guy!"
