backstory:

aspen filomena santos was born into stardom on september 14 to alesandro santos and elizabet kambalov. her father is an a-list actor/director, and her mother, a retired ballerina turned fashion designer.

she is the baby of the family, and the only girl out of five kids, so it’s only natural that she was always treated as a princess.  

aspen’s mother put her into ballet at a very young age. she had been wishing for a girl so she could have a dancer, and naturally, aspen fell in love with it. she would cry when ever she had to leave the studio, and once she got on stage for the first time, she never wanted to leave.

her mother enrolled her at the joffrey school of ballet  at age six. her mom spent her entire career with joffrey before retiring, so she always very heavily tried to influence aspen to dance with joffrey so she could kind of live through her. at the age of 18, she got offered a contract from both american ballet theatre and joffrey ( which btw, wouldn’t actually happen irl. but for rp proposes, we’ll say it does ). her mother wanted aspen to follow in her footsteps and accept joffrey ballet, but aspen chose abt. she’s always had a dream of living in NYC, and this was the perfect opportunity. 

so she's now a soloist with american ballet theatre. her mother is still mad at her for it, even four years later.

personality:

aspen has always been VERY independent. much to her parent’s dismay, who wished they could have coddled her and kept her as the baby for as long as possible. ever since she took her first steps, she’s liked to do things on her own. she’s also so insanely stubborn and determined. once she gets an idea in her mind there is no way she is being swayed from it.

her father is greek, so she fluently speaks the language. she travels a lot to greece to visit family that still lives there, and it is her favorite place ever. her mother is also russian but after she came to the states as a child, they never returned. aspen knows quite a bit of russian & can understand it when family speaks it, but doesn’t fluently speak it herself. 

she loves art… in like every form. dance, photography, painting, poetry. she’s just one of those super artistically talented people and everyone is just wondering h o w

she’s kind of shy until you get to know her ?? but once you do she’s just a lil ray of sunshine with a huge heart,,, she literally loves everyone & is a very selfless & loyal person. 

hardcore insomniac okay this girl NEVER sleeps. aspen’s also such a workaholic she has no clue what do with herself when she has days off.

aspen is a major perfectionist. she’ll stay for hours in the studio rehearsing if even just one step in her variation is wrong. her mom has always been very hard on her & expected perfection, so she took on the mind set and then some. if she messes up in a show or has a bad rehearsal she’ll mope for days 

she has a tendency to always see the good in things… she trusts that almost everything is good until proven otherwise, and it gets her hurt a lot
