APPEARANCE:
The first thing you notice when you look at Guiliana is her smile. She has a huge smile that's adorned with a set of the most dazzling teeth you have ever seen. Her eyes are a green-hazel which seem to grow brighter depending upon the colors she is wearing. Ana had long, dark hair and sports a year around tan with little to no up keep. Her personality is huge but it radiates from a rather small body. She stands at a whopping 5 foot 3 inches tall and weighs around 110 pounds. The girl is quite confident in her appearance but she'd be the first to tell you that her teeth are too large and her jaw is too wide. Most would say that she's a beautiful girl and, at the end of the day, the totally agrees.

DETAILED PERSONALITY:
The very first impression you have upon meeting Guiliana Lia DePaolo is, "Man, that girl has stamina."
Ana is a Scorpio. It is said that It is said that Scorpios embody both the best and the worst of all that are born under the stars and that is very accurate when it comes to this girl.
Like most of the women in the DePaolo family, Ana is very confident and very independent. She has the utmost faith in herself and her ability to achieve her goals, though, her independent nature can sometimes come off as bullheaded stubbornness. She does not freely accept the help of others and will rarely admit when she really has managed to get in over her head. Sink or swim, right? Well, Ana will drown to death while she's trying to swim out of it.
She's ambitious. In her opinion, there's no mountain too high, no valley too low, and nothing is out of her reach. Surprisingly enough, though, she usually has the drive and determination to support such an attitude. She knows exactly what she wants in life and nothing, I repeat, nothing is going to stand in her way. On the flip side, once she'd passionate about her goals and can, sometimes, become rather obsessed with achieving them... any means necessary.
Ana does nothing in moderation. If it's a good thing, you can multiply it by ten and it will become an even better thing. Multiply it by a hundred and it's an amazing thing... right?
She goes out of her way to hide this trait but she's a jealous, sometimes possessive, female. In her eyes, jealousy is a form of weakness and she'd much rather not have the emotion but... what's hers, is hers and she'd appreciate it if you would keep your grimy little paws off of it.
Guiliana is a natural dancer. The last thing she needs is a confidence boost but that particular characteristic only magnifies when she's on the dance floor. Turn on the music, give her a little bit of space and she can definitely put moves to any beat. Her dances are original. Most of the time, she's completely incapable of dancing the same exact steps twice. She makes it up as she goes along and will take hip-hop over line dancing any day.
Right now, at this very moment, Ana wants to be a choreographer more than anything else in the world. Of course, she doesn't want to stop there, either. If she's not choreographing for the stars, she's not where she wants to be.
HISTORY:
Guiliana Lia DePaolo was born exactly one week after her parents' arrival to the United States of America.
Luciano and Annata DePaolo were young when they conceived but they were both very devoted parents and raised a bright, street smart girl that seemed to perfectly fit into the huge city of New York.
Ana's childhood was mostly uneventful. She led a normal life... there were no traumatic events or world rocking experiences. Though, she did manage to break her arm at the age of eight because a few of the neighborhood boys told her that she couldn't do a cartwheel down a set of stairs and she hastened to prove them wrong. In the end, the boys said that Ana won the bet because she'd done the cartwheel... the landing is where she made her mistake. That didn't matter to her. As soon as she was out of her cast, she was right back on those stairs proving not only that she could do it, but also that it could be done flawlessly.
Ana has always worked diligently, being sure to pull, at least, passing grades... even if some of them were only barely so. Not a single one of her teachers would say that she lacks intelligence. The girl simply isn't motivated enough. Though, in all honesty, it isn't that she wasn't motivated, she just isn't interested in school work.
Ana started dancing just as soon as she started walking. Sure, her steps didn't have much purpose when she was stumbling around the house at the age of two but that has certainly improved over the years. She's a dancer first and foremost and she'll tell you that she's been one since the day she was born.
Regardless, Guiliana's parents have always pushed the importance of a good education and she's been happy to appease them by staying in school. She intends to apply to a college that has some sort of dance program, though. Her parents want her to earn a degree in business, but she refuses to turn her back on her one true love.
