Gianna Vitani Léon

* - - - once upon a time

full name: Gianna Vitani Léon
nicknames: Gia, Gee, Viv and Tani (only by her brother)
meaning of name: Gianna means god is gracious and lions are gracious. She is also to be a dancers and dancing is all about the grace of your movements. Gia is going to be a character that has grace when she wants to, but likes to stick to the more dangerous side of her personality. Vitani means war or demon of war in Swahili, so I thought that was a nice touch towards how her personality is going to be. She's going to be wrecking havoc. Her surnames actually came from me brainstorming about a name similar towards lions. I've always loved the professional and his characters name sounded like lion...looked it up and it meant lion. It also matched since he was Italian and her first name is Italian.
age: 24
birthday: August 17th (Same birthday as Mae West)
occupation: Preforming Dancer - Dance Instructor
play by: Adriana Lima
canon: Vitani from Lion King 2

* - - - the fairest of them all

From head to toe shall we? Gia stands at the full height of five foot nine 1/2 inches with a regal posture to match it. You will notice that she never slouches when she sits down. Its not that she hates slouching, which she seriously does. She can't be with someone if they slouch. She does had a very defined in ward arch in her back. Her face is slightly more angular towards the end of her chin. It gives depth in her jaw line which is very distinctive. Her cheek bones only appear high when she is grinning widely, aside from that her cheek bones stay soft. Her nose has been said to be somewhat cat like. Its very straight but flares out towards the end, keeping a very close distance to her lips. Her nose is also very close to her eyes and the bridge is very straight. Gia eyes are usually only wide when she is angered or taken off guard by something, regularly they are almond shaped and then some. Her eyes had a deep smoldering look about them, that comes from the position of her brow bone and a pair of lush lashes. The color of her eyes themselves are an electric blue with light hints of gray.

Gia's eyebrows are low towards the eyes and come up in a subtle arch. Her lips are usually in their natural pout. It at times gives her the appearance of a down turned smile. Her the top of her lip is very defined, the grove of her upper lip (Philtrum) below her nose is deepened to give her upper lips the look of very pointed vermillion border just below her nose. Behind her lips are where her uniquely shaped teeth are. Gia has straight teeth with slightly larger canines that give her a vampiric look when she smiles. When she smiles her upper lip is pushed up to show case the brilliance of her teeth. Her two front teeth are also a little bit large then the rest, excluding the canines. The effect of her smiling is best to be described as a predator being threatened, which can only be determined by the way her eyes come off.

Gianna is a natural brunette but she likes to keep her look light to match her skin tone. Above her head sits her long locks of coffee colored hair with light blonde high lights. When she was a baby to little girl..she had blonde hair. As she got older it darkened and she dyed it brown. Her hair has this messy wavy look to it and she usually has bangs spread across her forehead, shading her eyes somewhat. In the summer her hair will completely lighten into a caramel color. Its almost the same color of her skin, which is always a light bronze color. She has always been a bit darker in color since she was a baby. As she grew older the color of her skin darkened about a shade more, sun kissed coloring. Gia has a long lean body that comes from many years of dancing. She has a long midsection with even longer very toned legs. She is curvaceous, giving her round hips, an ample bust and a rump that pokes out. Its not as big as she would like it to be, but it fits her body enough. Gia likes to consider herself a voluptuous person. She is no where near the likings of models these days, all of them fitting into a size 0 or 2. She is the happy size of a 4. Her measurements are 35, 25, 36.

Gia has muscle tone in the places she works on, which is basically her legs and arms. Her stomach is flat and only slightly defined because of its length. Anything on her skin that can identify her body from everyone...would have to be the beauty marks she has scattered on random places. She has one just above her left eyebrow all the way on the tip of her eyebrow. Gia is also a fan of body art, especially tribal tattoos. She has one tribal tattoo that circles around her ankle and comes down around the side of her foot, that is accompanied by a star. The tattoo means that she finds her own way through anything she is faced. On her right thigh she has a tattoo of a tribal lion in black ink roaring lined in a golden yellow ink sort of like Pink's dragon tattoo...but with a lion. On the left side of her torso she has tribal swirls with black roses. finally, a pair of hung ballet slippers that start at the back of her neck and hang between her shoulder blades with the words 'sans limites' under it, meaning unrestrained or without limit in latin.

FINALLY, her choice of outer wear since walten isn't a nudist colony or anything. Gia's sense of fashion falls somewhere between...bohemian, rebel and dancer. In her appearance she likes to show that she has her own sense of fashion that isn't like anyone in the town. The girl walks to her own tune and dresses as well to it. From ripped jeans to cowboy boots, she only wears things that capture the eye...or at least her eyes. Huge slouched in hobo bags, shiny tights, studded heels, braided head bands, leg warmers, and converse. Most would say that she isn't dressing in the 'now' but that 'back then'. All of her jeans are low rise hip huggers, since she has the luxury of having...well...a low ass crack..so when she bends down you still can't see her crack or whale tail (when you wear a thong and you bend down...giving it the appearance of a whales tail). Her sense of fashion is similar to that of the singer 'Shakira' except a little more alternative and a little less well...fur and leather involving. She never wears anything BUT skinny jeans. Bell bottoms and and boot cuts just look wrong to her in so many ways.

* - - - look deep inside

PERSONALITY: Gianna is the product of a person that grew up with a bad mother and an even worse temper. So she isn't exactly a person that emits rays of sunshine. Don't get her wrong though...she is a great friend to those that are true to themselves. If you aren't fake and are a good person....then most likely she won't have a problem with you. Unless she gets a bad vibe..like you are some cupcake that is all about being a happiness fairy...then obviously you aren't going to be going out for tea with Gia. She likes to hang around others that have a common interest or personality to hers.

One thing she is, is judgmental. If she see's that you are drinking Fiji water and are looking at your nails for imperfections, she is going to think you are a prissy chick with no back bone. Its a flaw that she has and can't shake. Usually her judgments are right though. As much as it might sound like Gia is a lone wolf type...she actually isn't. She likes having people around and her being part of a group of sorts. She hates being alone and doesn't like to admit it. Gia is that down to earth girl that you know will be up for almost anything. You ask her if she wants to do something...most likely she will say...'yeah sure, I don't care'. She can be a jealous person most of the time...its only faced towards the relationship she has with others. Like if someone is trying to get with her brother...she's going to have a problem with it.

She's entertaining and protective. There's always a show or a good time when Gia is around. She also keeps her friends and family close at heart, so messing with them is out of the question. In that sense she is loyal unless you give her a reason not to be. She can be generous at times, if she has something that you need and its of no great importance...then she will give it to you. She's nakedly honest and at times arrogant if she thinks herself better then you. She can be sexy, seductive...very persuasive and knows how to get what she wants. Gia is ruthless, tough, intelligent and knows how to use a knife like no ones business. Vulgar to the extent of being too vulgar.

LIKES: Gia loves to eat and isn't shy about it like some girls tend to be. You show her some pizza and she will pour the toppings on it, especially the garlic and red pepper flakes. She loves to laugh and finds that she can find a laugh during the negative moments and positive ones. Say you have just tripped over the curb, don't expect her to be all motherly about it because most likely Gia is going to laugh in your face. She likes going to the movies and has a knack for getting into trouble. Of course she also has a knack for getting herself out of trouble. Gia is a big fan of roses no matter how much you think she can't possibly be romantic. She has a twisted sense of romance yes...mostly because she plays hard to get and likes when a guy is rough with her...but an out of the blue red rose and something planned without her knowing goes a long way with her.

She likes it when others can be creative and thoughtful. Gia is known to be the local bar regular along with a few select others. She usually goes over there to throw back a few drinks, dance a little and play some cards. If she can get in arm wrestling with someone and winning money for it, then she is all for trying. You will find that Gia hardly hangs out with girls...the only type of girls she can hang with are the ones that are rough around the edges. She also likes sex...go figure...but she has too much pride in herself to go bedding random guys. The girl has standards and rules for herself, no sleeping with them unless they are pure...which means they haven't contracted some disease from slumming with the hoes or they have to be in a relationship with her. She likes having fun and likes the feeling of being a positive anything in someones life. She likes eating cold Chinese food, punching walls when she's angry, motorcycles and knowing more about cars then some men. On one condition though, she likes old muscle cars...not those new ones that are more luxurious I'm going to break down on you constantly cars. She likes screaming at the top of her lungs for her team and cursing out the opposing team. Gia loves going to live baseball and football games. Cursing is something that you are going to find she does a lot of.

DISLIKES: oh, here we go now. there's a crap load of things that Gia cannot stand. number one, don't tell her to be an effing lady. She's not gonna strut around here like some stepford wife on crack okay. She is who she is and no one will change that...EVER!. Keep your filthy paws off of her possessions, because if she catches you thenbe sure you will be missing some sort of appendage that is of great use to you. Gia hates sloppy drunks, whores, sluts, incompetent retards, jerk offs, alcoholics, workaholics, sexaholics, commitment-phobics, peeping toms, megalomaniacs, emotional fuckwits, perverts, people that talk too much...gives her a horrible headache AND stomach ache every single time. Don't tell her that she curses too much, because it pisses her off. Don't get all grabby with her, like smacking her ass out of no where because she will try the same thing but with your balls.

People that don't talk enough, those who don't have opinions, those who opinions are worth shit, cowards, womanizers, ego tripping losers, those who take advantage of weaker people, weak people that can't open their mouth, people touching her car, being called a bitch behind her back SAY IT TO HER FACE, people standing up for her, raging narcissists, and basically any girl that tries to get with her brothers. Having to be the middle man between her mother and brothers. When people take 20 napkins, use one, then throw them all away.Finding a shoe and not finding its mate. people that interrupt you when your telling a story and then they continue to tell you their story and then ask you in an uninterested tone to continue on with your story when they are finished talking. Conspiracy theories. Guys who leave the toilet seat up. People who don't cover their mouth while sneezing or coughing. Most of all, being controlled.


HOBBIES: First and foremost Gia loves to dance. Nothing about her is really graceful when you look at her entire character, then you see her dance and then you realize that all of that natural grace every woman possesses is entirely placed into her dancing. Everyone needs something to be passionate about and since she needed to be put into something to keep her busy, dance was the first option. Dancing is expressive and you can interpret anything through dance. Its a good way to stay in shape and Gia is no fool...she knows that only good can come from it. Its the one thing that civilizations have kept true to for so many years. It also helped the world crawl out of its conservative shall a bit more. So that is her top hobby, love and job. Going along with the dancing aspect of her life, Gia also does capoeira which is a martial arts form of dance. It originated in Africa and was mixed in with the dance of Brazilians. Gia came to know capoeira through a martial arts class she took as a young girl. She was always getting in fights and her mother saw that better her daughter know how to fight and get all her aggression out into a hobby. Down the long run she knew that it would also help her if she was ever in danger and needed to protect herself.

Gia loves fighting, its a major part of her personality. She grew up with brothers that love to wrestle and play rough. She is actually better then both of them when it comes to fighting, because she loves the rush of it so much. In her family...if you have a problem..you take it outside and you wrestle for it. The person still panting on the floor squealing mercy is the person that is the loser...so whether it was over a remote control or who's turn was it to wash dishes...wrestling was the way to go. Another hobby of hers is glass blowing. Its something odd that many don't really get into...but she isn't exactly the girly type. She stumbled upon glassblowing on a field trip to a factory that creates the products from glassblowing. After that she was hooked, took a couple of classes in glassblowing and now she goes into town when she has extra time to do it. Gia keeps this mostly to herself..when you walk into her place you know that it must be a love of hers though. She has pieces she has made all over the place. All of them imperfect with bubbles in them and swirls of colors, but that is what she likes about them. She loves to listen to underground music, mostly around the rock persuasion. Live music is something that she loves though. Gia loves roller coasters, dare devil acts and such. She also collects knives ranging from shitty to expensive collectors keepsakes.

GUYS LIKES+DISLIKES: Well, someone that can make her laugh of course. A person that has a good head on their shoulders. Being headstrong is very important. She loves deep guys with tattoo's that tell a story behind each one of them. Someone that has eyes that speak all by themselves. A smile that could melt a stick a butter the size of the empire state building. Someone with a care free attitude and works for what they want without caring about what people think of them. Someone that she could have fun with that isn't a wallflowering party drag. A person that actually has some depth to their soul and hates magazines cosmo magazines just as much as she does. She wants someone that isn't trying to be perfect, but true to themselves. They don't want to change her. Someone complex and tough, but also positive and mysterious. Gia isn't looking for someone to kiss her feet and open doors for her..that's all nice and everything but she rather someone recognize that she is their equal. She isn't some trophy to put in their players cabinet. They have to be daring..have the balls to be put out of their comfort zone. Passion is of absolute importance and someone that can calm her down in a moment of rage...which means they have to be physically strong.

Don't be deceitful..she can smell a liar from miles away. Be respectful towards her family, friends and especially her. If you can't take a joke but you joke about everything, then expect to be punched in the face. Don't try to get in the middle of her fights unless you think that she is really going to cause some damage that will deal with her being thrown in prison. She needs someone that appreciates life. If he is a bum ass loser that never wants to work, let alone move out of his mothers basement and his goal is to live as long as he can without paying a single bill...then say goodbye cause there is no way Gia will even look your way. Making her sit in the back seat of your car or getting pissed when she wins at something you didn't...whomp whomp go cry a river. Don't treat her like a personal outlet or ever place a hand on her..or any woman because you will be singing soprano before you can say Pavarotti.

* - - - the family honor

Gia was born on August 17 to parents unknown to her in this time. She was too young to remember them and even if some say that a child never forgets what their parents look like...Gia sure wasn't one of those 'lucky' few. Supposedly she lived with her parents for a whole year and some months until her mother gave birth to a son. Gia doesn't know what it is, but usually sticks to the idea that her parents must have been broke and diapers are mighty expensive. So her and her brother Cole were shoved into the adoption agency. Two screaming, crying, eating, rollie pollie shitting machines of joy. All they had to them were their names and a closed agreement with the 'unknown' parents. The orphanage wouldn't have even told them that they ever had parents, if Gia didn't read her file before the left the damn place.

One day a little blonde girl and her dark haired brother, both with light eyes and a full head of messy hair were picked out by a stranger. All the other kids were so ready to leave the orphanage...Gia on the other hand wanted to turn eighteen and leave with her brother..so they could be on their own. In her mind, she didn't need anyone but him in her life. What her brother doesn't know is that this stranger was their real mother. Their real mother that had signed them under her old name and had now adopted them under her new name. She had gotten rid of both of the kids because she was a little loose when she was younger.

Mira had been around the block a few times with all the wrong men. One of them actually stuck by her..which was Gia's father. The reason why she kept Gia for so long and then she messed up. Mira went fucking around behind her fathers back and almost got herself killed. Mira liked the really tough rough guys that held power, even if it meant in the form of a really big gun. So she got rid of her mistakes in the world and picked them up later when all the work of them being taken care of was over with. Who knew they were moving into a shit hole in Gia's opinion...to meet an equally scare the shit out of you new daddy. Tyler took a liking towards the two kids right away. Towards Gia because she was a bad ass from the moment she walked in. Snatching her little brother from Mira's grip when she went to pinch his cheek. Tyler thought it was hysterical. He took especially well to Cole, Gia's brother and Mira took complete to Gia.

Supposedly she saw a lot of herself in the girl (made pretend that it was entirely by accident, Gia knew better). Growing up was rough for Gia. She always felt very strongly about protecting her brother, no matter how much she actually grew fond of Mira. Gia was impressionable and she took in her mothers attitude very quickly. She was the most obedient bad little girl you've ever seen. What Tyler didn't know was that Gia's real father bumped into Mira and Gia on the street, knowing right away that she was his daughter. Gia's nose, mouth and eyebrows were identical to his. He had been doing quite well for himself and so offered child support under the radar, meaning behind Tyler's back. Mira took it of course because she was a greedy bitch.

Gia had her ways though. If she didn't see a dime of that money going towards things she wanted...then she would tell tyler right away and the gig would be up. With this understanding Gia was placed into dance class..martial arts..you name it. She knew that someday she was going to make something of herself. She wasn't going to be like Mira and Tyler. She was going to make her money the proper way and save it like normal people did. Gia rocked her way through elementary..middle school and even high school with amazing grades. She wasn't as dim as some might have wished. Gia must have gotten her intelligence from her fathers side and all of her fight from her mother. She and Cole did amazing...It was just her mouth and need to resort to violence that caused her trouble. Enter anger management..which Mira was glad Gia's health insurance covered...especially because of her suspensions from school.

One day some big fight happened between Tyler and Mira...a real Broadway show that attracted attention because soon enough the lights and sounds of police were in front of their house. Gia remembered seeing Mira try to swipe a fist at one of the police officers that had slammed Tyler against the hood of their patrol car. Long story short..Tyler was a hot head, got into a fight and almost killed a man. Landing him in the big house for practically life. No way a man like Tyler is going to live in a place filled with brutes. That's when Mira began to seep her poison into the minds of her young. Making them think that this neighbor needed to get the karma that was coming to him and then some. She was proud that she had such good looking children...minus the son she had with Tyler who looked a bit kooky.

Her schemes and plots seeped into the kids. All to blame for them moving from the hell hole they lived in where all of their friends were...to some small town where all the people smiled at you constantly. That bit sort of pissed Gianna off a bit. People smiling at her constantly and wondering who she is, made her uncomfortable. Gia has become her mothers henchman yes, but in time she will break away. Mostly because she doesn't want some unfit mother always nagging at her and trying to take a hold of her money. Gia is on her way up and having a mother like Mira will only bring her down. She has love for her mother, then again...when it comes down to it...the only other person that matters is her brother and #1 which is herself.

* - - - connect the dots

Although Vitani played a minor role in the movie I felt that her character was pretty straight forward. Her and Gia have tons in common. They are both loyal to some extent. Vitani was loyal to her mother Zira, doing all of her dirty work and being far more crafty then her own older brother. She is an intelligent character, seeing that the fight between the pride and the outsiders is pointless. Which means she is practical just like Gia. Why fight someone if you have no reason to right? Gia only fights when she is provoked by someone else, that doesn't make her any less of a fighter though. Like Vitani, Gia is a lively girl that is up for a good time. Notice, when Vitani asks Kovu if he wants to fight in such a playful way.

Vitani is also very honest in the way she speaks. When her older brother is ranting on about how he should have been the chosen one, Vitani clearly doesn't see eye to eye with him on that. Gia would gladly bring down someone from their alternate reality. If someone is wrong, then she is going to point it out. Both Gia and Vitani have a tan color...it being Gia's skin tone and Vitani's fur...both have bright blue eyes and bangs..so I definitely have the look down. I'm sure if the movie were to elaborate more on Vitani that she would be a trouble maker just like Gia...a real handful. They are both tough females looking to fend for themselves.

* - - - the stuff heroes are made of

Gia walked into the pound wondering if anyone worth her time was actually there. Finger curled into the tight pocket of her black skinny jeans and arms closely pinned against her usual leather jacket. She sent a nod over to the bartender that was manning the station tonight. Gia was fond of him in that comical sense, because he was flamboyant and flared bottles like no one else. Theater bartendering was something Gia really thought was over the top, yet he could pull it off without it being cheesy. Walking over to the table located in the back of the bar, right by the done up modern wise juke box that was in the wall. She saw the top of a man's bald head and smirked inwardly.

Walking right up behind him she slapped her hand on his shiny bald head and gave it a 'shining' by taking her leather jacket, skimming it across his head twice and laughing. "Look at you Mr. Clean...If you ask me..looks like you went for a spit shine with how your head is gleaming that way. What are you trying to do impress a girl or giving her a personal mirror to look into" Gianna said laughing lightly as the guys at the table roared with laughter, that would blow your hair into your face...maybe even some spit, ew. 'I'll let you know that my woman likes a shiny head because she wants it to match the other one'. Now that made Gia laugh to the point of no return. She stumbled to the side of the man and took her seat at the table. A paused game of war right in front of her.

"Am I hearing you right Al? Cause it sounds like your girlfriend is calling you a dick head. You sure she wasn't joking with you?" A tear of laughter came rolling down the side of her nose, and she flicked it off with the side of her finger. The look on his unsure face was enough to really make her want to rub it in. Instead, she resisted and let the other guys take over. She shrugged her shoulders towards Al. She leaned over the table and gave a small kiss on the cheek to all the fellas. They were all biker dudes with gray hairs popping up all over the place and tattoo's that covered their skin...the fade of the ink telling you they were done years ago. "Hell Al..Some like that type of shit. You could be her white biker Vin Diesel or some crap like that. Fuck if I know..but your head is as smooth as a baby's bare ass..So she'll be rubbin' all on it for sure" Men were sensitive about things like that. So she wanted to assure him that she was only playing around with him. Gia had a way with being too brutally honest with her opinions...something she had to work on. She was good at making whatever she said better...that is if it were the truth. She hates lying about anything..so telling him some girls liked the cue balls of the world...was actually true.

"Now please tell me you aren't playing war all night? Lets get some pitchers of beer over here and play a real fuckin' game...Poker..lay down those presidents gentlemen." Gianna said taking her wallet out and pulling out a few bills. For her, there was nothing like a game of poker..which meant gaining more money with her awesome poker face and bullshitting with some real men...not guys that were reluctant to let go of their youth with video games...even if they were her age. This was familiar to Gia and that's what she liked.
