OKAY SO IM MAKING A NICARAGUA IVE SPENT ALL MORNIGN RESEARCHING AND I PLAN TO DO MORE HERES THE INFO I HAVE SO FAR FFHFFJF IM GONNA DO A LOT MORE AND I STILL NEED TO DO HER OUTFIT IM JUST SLEEPY 


LEGAL NAME: Josefa María Domínguez de Ribera

    josefa: common spanish name, feminine version of jose which is the spanish version of joseph. a name meaning "god will increase". important to nicaragua, as an important, well known feminist born in nicaragua had the name.
    maría: for the virgin mary, highly venerated in nicaragua as is in most catholic countries, as there is a week of festivities dedicated to her immaculate conception -- la purisma.
    domínguez: "son/child of domingo", meant to be a nod to santo domingo, the patron saint of managua, capital of nicaragua. celebrations of patron saints are important to nicaragua.
    de ribera: "of the riverbank", i choose this second surname for her given that rivers are a large part of nicaragua's ecosystem, and the largest river in central america is the rio coco, which forms the border between nicaragua and honduras.

NICKNAME/ALIAS[ES]: Pepa, Pepita, Chepa, Pina, Nica.

PHYSICAL AGE: She is physically 20/21 seeming.
COUNTRY AGE: 600-700+  
It is said that the indigenous peoples of Nicaragua migrated south from Mexico centuries before the Spanish arrived in the territory, though this is mostly known through oral history; some dates I have found say around 500 CE. In the 15th century, before Spanish arrival,  the territory, specifically western Nicaragua, was heavily inhabited by several indigenous groups related by culture to those of Aztec and Maya. Since the first, earlier date isn't 100% reliable, I decided that leaning her age toward the second date would be more practical. Though most time spent before Spanish revival was as a baby. Officially, Nicaragua was named so in 1522, which would make her, as Nicaragua, 500 years old -- almost (494 as of 2016). There are many independence dates (from Spain, 1821; from Mexican Empire, 1823; from Federal Republic of Central America, 1838), as well as the Nicaraguan Revolution, in 1979 when the Sandinistas overthrew the government, and when the current constitution was made in 1987.
BIRTHDATE/ZODIAC: September 15th, Nicaraguan Independence Day (from Spain, in 1821) / Virgo.

GENDER/SEX: Cis female (she/her).
SEXUAL PREFERENCE: Bi-curious.
There are many legal challenges for those of LGBTQ+ in Nicaragua, and the general opinion of the public seems to sway not in favor of LGBT citizens. However, I have taken my time to look around for opinions from those in Nicaragua, and it is said that people of Nicaragua are very welcoming regardless of sexuality. The history of LGBTQ+ in Nicaragua is not very lengthy, but there is an importance to them in the Sandinista Revolution -- which is a very important revolution to the history of Nicaragua. Despite their challenges faced, I will believe that Josefa herself is bi-curious; she lacks any sort of relationship experience with women. She is also rather closeted about her curiosity to a relationship with women, and any attraction to them.

RELIGION: Roman Catholic.

NATIONALITY: Nicaraguan.
ETHNICITY: Mestizo (Nicaraguan).


BODY/BUILD: Josefa's body type is an hourglass mesomorph; she is not at all overweight, but manages a curvy-looking body type naturally. Due to Nicaragua having close to half of it's population below the poverty line, and being one of the poorest countries in the Americas, she is not exactly the most overnourished-looking person around. She is more average in terms of weight, and does attempt to build some muscle. Here's how I'd imagine her body type. She is, along with all this, short -- as the average height  for women in Nicaragua is barely over 5'1.

HAIR: Her hair is long, reaching almost to her mid-back, and a dark brown almost black color (used to be black, but overtime had a more colored tint to it due to Spanish/European influence). It is thick, Type IV curly, naturally so, but it is not uncommon that she straightens it and it ends up more wavy. She manages it as best as she can though it is difficult given it's texture and how thick it is. She tends to keep it in a ponytail, sometimes over her shoulder, or behind her back.

EYES: D37; her eyes are hazel, and bright. I have decided this color for her because of Mestizo being the dominant ethnic group, it is not as if she couldn't have an eye color other than brown/black -- and, since Nicaragua is dominated by a large, unique ecosystem to throw some green into her eyes. Her eyes are thin-almond shaped, and her eyes seem more relaxed or neutral. She has thick eyelashes, and 2.1 soft angled low arch eyebrows.

SKIN: Between Type IV-V. Her skin is naturally dark and tans very easily. She has some moles/beauty marks littering her skin, one more noticeable one on the right side beside her lips, sort of below them; it represents San Cristóbal Volcano. Scars are a wip.

FACIAL STRUCTURE:

    NOSE: Hawk nose, downturned.
    LIPS: Full lips, lower lip a bit more plump; she likes to wear lipstick often, but her lips are a bit dry (climate).
    FACE SHAPE:  Round, with wide cheekbones.

GLASSES/CONTACTS: n/a

HEIGHT: 5'1 || 155 cm.
WEIGHT: 132 lbs || 60 kg.
