Eiffel Embers
Gluttony
Warning: Pretty??? Well, don't be fooled, because this chick can kick @$$!!
I actually don't even know how to start introducing her. I've been working on her for so long, so I guess she's quite well formed already. She's the first original character I ever used in a fanfic, after all.
Her name
Well! Eiffel as in the Eiffel tower. When I thought first on creating an OC, she would be a model. Upon the word model, Paris Hilton came to mind. Shocks, I don't wanna name her Paris so I decided on taking the name of the famous tower found in Paris... Besides, the name sounds more beautiful, haha! I came up with the EMBERS when I was watching our grill coal burning and I thought it looked cool so hey! Why not make that her last name? So there, we have, Eiffel Embers!
Gluttony is one of the seven deadly sins. As it shows with her obsession for food, this sin is associated to Eiffel's character. It may be a shallow reason to associate. There’s still much more to work on…
NOTE: The picture above is not the real Eiffel, but is only a visual aid so to give the readers an idea on what she really looks like. She doesn't smile at pictures and she never reveals a cleavage because she's a tomboyish prude, LOL. So far, this is the only picture closest to her resemblance.
Basic Information
Name: Eiffel Embers
Stage name: Ayame Nao
Age: she was originally 20 but I decided that she’s more suited to be 18, a part time student and a part time model
Family:
Kenneth Embers (brother) is Eiffel’s older brother by one year. Ironically, this older brother tends to be less mature compared to his younger sister. His stage name is Kenichi as he lived in Japan and became a vocalist for a teenage band. He loves music and guitars. He loves to sing and he collects audio cds. Kenneth is known for his carefree attitude and sister complex.
Lauren Embers (mother) is a well known fashion designer in France. She came from a rich family, but rumor has it that she left her luxurious life to elope with a half British half Japanese doctor. After two years, they had a son and the year after that they had a daughter. Although Lauren was banished by her own flesh and blood for her scandalous elopement with a common man, Lauren was happy and content with her life now that she has her own family and career.
Dr. Vahn Embers (father) is the charismatic and handsome young doctor who eloped with a rich, French woman. He is a kind and understanding parent, smart as well as wise. He is very supportive to his children.
Alan Monroe (uncle but actually a family friend) is Lauren’s best friend since childhood. He was rumored to have been responsible for helping Vahn and Lauren elope. He didn’t deny it either. Alan is strict yet liberated. He loves to go shopping and spend his days on spas. He became the guardian of the Embers children when both Vahn and Lauren had to work overseas.
Forsythe Embers (cousin, father’s side) is also known by his stage name: Fuji Nakawara. A famous teenage actor in Japan swooned over by teenage girls far and wide .He is charismatic and a narcissist. He has a secret crush on his cousin, Eiffel and he’s also a masochist. I’m quite sure after knowing all of those facts about him, you wouldn’t want me to continue. I can’t believed I’ve developed or underdeveloped this character…
Occupation: part time model, volleyball athlete
Descriptions are typical but necessary
Hair: long and black
Eye color: blue
Height: 5'8
weight: around 130 pounds but it constantly fluctuates due to her insatiable appetite and strenuous exercise routines
Profile
Eiffel is a girl with a usual frown to her lips and cold, reluctance in her blue eyes. As suish as it may sound, she is still pretty even when she is angry or sad. She has a rather short temper so her bursting into angry fits is a common everyday occurrence. Eiffel is sometimes found sulking somewhere in a corner or in her room after she had screamed at someone or worse injured them because of her inability to control her temper. She sulks because she regrets her deeds and wonders as to how she will ever become a 'good' person.
As expected from the genes he got from her French mother and Half Japanese half British father, Eiffel grew up to be a very attractive and beautiful young woman. Her model career seemed only natural for someone like her, but this isn’t exactly what Eiffel had wanted.
All her life, because of her parent’s overprotectiveness, she had not been able to decide things for herself since her parents always decide things in advance for her. At 16 she decided she wanted to live and be independent. She did not get her wish instantly. After two years, she was allowed to work for her own allowance but only part time.
Likes: Food esp. dessert and other sweets, videogames, kids, nature, volleyball, watching movies, skating, detective stories/ mystery novels, police stories
Dislikes: Dates (yes, she doesn't like boys much) diets, flirts, smokers, playboys, liars,
Her family
To start off with a background, Eiffel is brought up by a beautiful, caring family, a family so close to perfection. Her mother is a fashion designer and her father is a doctor, both usually overseas to work. Her brother is in a band and Alan M became her manager during her career as a part time model. Forsythe is an actor.
Relationships
Eiffel is ironically a loner despite the fame accumulated by her and her family's careers. Mostly because she doesn't like getting involved in other people's business and she prefers doing things on her own. She hates crowds and she hates hearing fan girls shriek.(add that to her list of dislikes)
Her brother has a sister complex His overt affection for her embarrasses Eiffel and this usually ends with Kenneth being flipped or injured by none other than his so-called cute sister. Even so, his affection did not waver in the least. Lauren and Alan M are concerned about her feminism and appearance.
She does not have many friends. For one, she isn't very friendly and then when her only friend disappeared all of a sudden, leaving her, she dreaded experiencing the abandoned feeling. She became even more lonely. Though for those who assumed and insisted on being her friend she may often find them annoying but she actually cares for them deep inside. She's extremely loyal and protective when she gains friends.
Her suffering
When Eiffel was young and fat, Lauren and Alan M (mother and uncle respectively) collaborated on creating the perfect girl out of Eiffel. So they changed her desserts into leafy salads, her sodas into protein shakes and her hobbies of watching tv was replaced by aerobic sessions. All of these, forcibly implemented to her. The threat was a decrease in allowance for every pound she gains. Now that she has grown up, she still eats a lot but then she has to do twice as much exercise to keep in shape else she'll be broke, grounded and unemployed. Poor Eiffel...
Her Career and skills
So why become a model? Actually, she really didn't have much to choose for a career. Eiffel has only her looks, some martial arts she learned from watching action movies and volleyball skills to rely on. A slight knowledge in playing the piano came from her high school best friend, Immanuel. Because she basically doesn't have much talent in any other areas, she doesn't get accepted in other jobs. She is terrible at cooking! Her family went as far as banning her from the kitchen ever since she had set fire to it when she attempted to ‘cook’ food.
Romance-wise
Eiffel does not believe in true love, love at first sight and other things she prefer to call childish fantasies. Her cousin is a playboy who flirts at her and she hates him for it. That is why she has no interest in boys and in having a boyfriend. Period.
Ayame’s voice
Assigning voices to a character is an idea inspired by WriterApprentice. With this, Ayame is given more life as a character. So, if I were to choose someone to do her voice acting I would pick Yuu Asakawa. Her voice is deep but feminine and it suits her tomboyish personality.

^In this one, she is having a conversation, so her voice is much clearer.
TRIVIA:They said she’s the same voice actress who did Rider from Fate stay night and Megurine Luka vocaloid. I was drawn to her voice the first time I heard it. ^^
