Name:     Vanda "Van" De Amour

Age:   31

Gender:   Female

Sexuality:   It is about the who, not the what.  Pansexual.

Occupation: Guest.  On a working sabbatical from a university in France.

Persona: Generally a quite and thoughtful individual. Not much of a party girl, except to meet interesting people.  A good listener, but not a passive one.  Can appear somewhat stand-offish at first; which is more about prudent approach than personal affront. Her social energy is directed by discrete, rather than exhibitive, behavior.  Behind closed doors is a different matter.

Description:

She's French, is only two feet, two hands, two thumbs and eight fingers; and no unnecessary inches.  Oh... metrics!

At 1.6m and 54Kg, Vanda is not an impressive presence until you look a little closer. Her musculature is finely sculpted; firm, some definition and feminine. The skin-tone suggests Mediterranean ancestry.  Thick, dark copper hair falling in a natural wave to the shoulder may hint at some northern bloodline. The clear green eyes seem to focus way inside your head; suggesting the impossibility that a cat may have wandered into the antecedent mix.

Eighty-six, Sixty-four, Eighty-six, would be gross measurements in the USA.  However, in centimeters, this fills a petite size four dress delightfully. It sounds odd, but apparently America went metric in cup sizes, which in Vanda's case is B.  This conformity of cup sizing is due to the difference in bust measurements coming to the same distance regardless of the  difference in tape measure markings with which the difference is measured.  Vive la différence!

History:

Vanda was born and raised in and around Sainte-Maxime, located on the French Riviera; part of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in Southeastern France. There was nothing particularly outstanding about her childhood.  But it can be said that her parents did provide well for their children; supporting them to the best of their abilities. Of course, as Vanda grew into the terrible teens, eventually it came time to follow ones interests and see where it led.

Where things led was to the University of Marseilles and on to Cambridge in England. Vanda's field of study was archeology, for which she has a passion. To offset the academics, she engrossed herself in the Performing Arts programs available. Vanda efforts ended up with a Doctorate in Archeology, and more than a passing grade in Performing Arts.

On completion of her studies, Vanda began working within the world of Archeological Investigation Projects.  On the odd occasion this included consultation in Forensic Archeology. Vanda's most recent exploits earned her a sabbatical, provided she could use the stops in ports to compile some initial reports for possible future projects.  It seems that an anonymous benefactor has also backed the working sabbatical. Conspiracy Theorists and Scandal-Mongers, make of that what you will. The reality is far more banal. But, then again, Vanda would say that, wouldn't she?

Optional info:

Hobbies:   It is hard to say what is a hobby, or what is part of Vanda's needful skillsets. Or even what she does on a daily basis for her own gestalt well being. She knows things and what she wants, or needs, to do with that knowledge. And, there is always room for more knowledge, skill improvement and application to make whatever-it-is mo' betta.

Likes:   K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Stupid)  Animals, especially cats. Honesty. Discretion, especially when committing indiscretions.

Dislikes:   P.P.P.P.P.P.P. (Piss Poor Preparation Produces Piss Poor Performance). Self-entitled, self-righteous, self-deluding, self-aggrandizing ignoramuses. Dishonesty.
