Personality

Lola is the type of person looks first and then leaps. Circumstances in her life have trained her to be a hard worker and her work ethic is to give 110% with everything that you give. She’s worked for everything her entire life and knows that through hard work you can achieve anything. Lola is married to her job, you could say. When it comes to friends, Lola doesn’t have much time for them. People in general are great, and she’s very friendly, even compassionate, with her clients, but there’s a soft reservation there. She’s been burned too many times to trust people automatically.

Lola’s persona changes depending on who she’s dealing with. With clients it’s warm professionalism. With strangers she meets them with silent regard. Everything she does is done carefully, and she rarely does anything for herself. There’s only one real person in her life that she goes above and beyond for, and that’s for her baby sister and only living relative, Candice. For Candice she would find a way to move Heaven and Earth, and she grew up before she was ever meant to. For Candice, she’s a warm, laughing, energetic being. There is compassion in her, and there is loyalty and trust, but to find it a person is going to have to prove that they aren’t a threat. Lola, above all else, hates lying with a passion. She absolutely despises it and will dismiss that person until they’ve earned her trust back.

Lola doesn’t have many passions, but one of her goals in life is to make other people happy. An impossible goal, but it’s a goal that she can wake up and strive to achieve. As long as one person is happy because of her work and sweat, she feels satisfied. She hasn’t had much time to herself to actually examine what makes her happy, so often people get a confused look when they ask what she likes to do for fun. She’s a woman who does for other people, but rarely for herself.

Lineage

Lola is a thoroughbred American. She knows she's got some European in her because of how pale she is and her red hair, but other than that, she doesn't know and doesn't feel it particularly necessary to know at this point in her life. She knows English and enough Spanish to order a taco at a food stand, and that's about it.

History

The first of two children, Lola Basher was born to a single mom with too much work on her hands. Their back story wasn’t a pretty one, but their mother went above and beyond for her two kids. She did the work of three parents, or so it had seemed to Lola. Eventually her go go go attitude caught up with her health and it rapidly began declining. She did her best, but when Lola was fourteen and her sister Candice was nine, her mother went to work and never came home. Child services took Lola and her sister in for awhile until a family member stepped in and took them in. It went from bad to worse from there. Their aunt was rarely, if ever home, and it was a place that was not fit for children, to put it politely. Lola lied about her age and worked under the table at a diner down the street so there was food on the table and her sister could have clothes for school.

When Lola turned sixteen, she got special permission to be emancipated from the state and she took Candice with her. She dropped out of high school and worked three part time jobs as a waitress to make ends meet. Her sister Candice was brilliant, and went through high school the top of her class with honors. She earned scholarship after scholarship, and on graduation day was valedictorian of the small private school that Lola had worked so hard to send her to. Candice, a very sweet and shy girl, went to UCLA with a full ride and Lola eventually went back and got her GED. For the past several years she’s been switching from job to job, sending part of her pay into Candice’s well balanced bank account so her sister had money for food, clothes, or whatever she needed so that she could focus all of her efforts on studying.

It wasn’t until Lola was twenty four that she found a job as a travel agent. She was trained with that firm and for the past year or so she’s been working there full time. She’s found a passion for it, and threw herself into her work. Within a year she found herself holding the title of manager at Fantasy Vacations & Travel Inc. Her sister Candice met a biomedical engineer student freshman year and this year he proposed to her, and they’re set to be married in a year, two months after graduation for the both of them. Lola see’s her sister as often as possible, but for now she lives in a modest apartment building, constantly working.
