1: What is your OC’s human name and which country/city/state does it represent?
María Cruz Juárez Oñate/Ciudad Juárez
2: What is that character’s personality and how does it correspond to the country you wish to roleplay?
Poster child of a good girl gone WAY bad. Whereas she used to be quite the innocent Catholic, the conditions at her place got so bad that she's had to harden her heart considerably. The Juárez cartel is just plain ruthless--statistically, she's four times more violent than any American city. In addition, thanks to the insane number of femicides in her house, she's extremely mistrusting of men. She's also pretty prejudiced against white people, particularly Americans ('gringos').
But despite all this, deep, deep down, she does have a softer side. And is also completely terrified of bugs (particularly spiders).
As for school, she's here to sell drugs, rob Edisonians, and beat up anyone that looks at her funny. Despite what she would have you think, though, she actually does care about her grade (the city is widely recognized for excellence in education, believe it or not).
3: What are their relationships with other countries?
To make a long story short: it's basically her vs. the world. The UN's been called to take action to control her, but (and I am not fudging words here) they are too afraid to.
4a: How much do you know about the history of your character? Give us a little backstory on him/her.
Juarez's house was built and founded by Spanish friars (on land originally belonging to the native people, mind you). She and her twin sister, at first, lived in one house as 'El Paso del Norte'. But after the annexation of Texas to the USA, her sister became American, and was given the simpler name 'El Paso'. In 1888, 'El Paso del Norte' was changed to 'Ciudad Juarez' in honor of Benito Juarez, whom she helped during the French intervention in Mexico.
She got her first taste for the criminal life when the United States passed a prohibition law, giving way for the mafia to begin illegally trafficking in alcohol. That's where Juarez (along with other border cities from both Mexico and Canada) came in, though she hadn't truly even begun to grasp the scope of the destitution and lawlessness that she was about to slip into.
In the last few decades, factories were built in Juarez, and many people flocked there for work.
This was the prelude to the shitstorm that would follow. With the rise of the illegal drug trade in northern Mexico, the "Juarez" cartel became quite powerful, being located in a border city. But soon the turf wars exploded into a level of violence beyond her control. These criminals began to rape and murder the women that had migrated there for the factories. When it got to the point that she was getting attacked and molested weekly and couldn't leave her house at night, Juarez adopted a 'kill or be killed' mentality and became the most dangerous place in the world.
At the moment, she is locked in a war against the Sinaloa cartel for control of her house.
4b: What's their appearance? Please provide either a detailed description or a picture. Pictures are preferred if possible, but only one that is self-made.:
Normally seen with a baseball bat, though there is usually also a rather nasty knife with a serrated edge hidden on her somewhere. She always wears a gold cross necklace.
4c: How old are they/What year are they(freshman, sophomore,etc)?
19/sophmore
5: How active do you think you can be?
NEVER. I'M NEVER ON THIS FORUM. EVER.

¡Oy, gringa! Tell me where the bathroom is before I bust your teeth in.
7: You have several projects due! Do you get started working on them right away?
Not group projects? They are now.
8: Some girl/guy’s trying to hit on you! How do you react?
Hit on 'em back. Really hard. Until they get the message.
9: Uh oh! You accidentally broke a very prized trophy that the school had won! What do you do?!
Finish the job: break them all.
10: You see a student with a broken leg?! What do you do?
Finish the job: break the other leg.
11: A fight breaks out in the quad! How do you react?
Take out earrings. Punch. Kick. Bite. The usual.
12: It’s PE time! Are you good with sports and athletics?
"Oh it's that girl from the border, let's put her on the hurdle team!" Just watch. I guarantee you.
13: A big test is coming up! Do you prepare or do you sack studying?
1. Skip the test day and schedule a make-up.
2. Beat up someone with squinty eyes who's already taken it.
3. ???
4. Profit.
14: Someone is stalking you in the hallways! Who is it, and how do you react?
DIE, RAPIST-- ...Oh. Bandaid'll fix that right up.
15: What do you want to major and why?
Lawn-mowing. :I
...ADMIT IT, YOU BELIEVED ME YOU GODDAMN GRINGO--
