Ivory, Faith, and Burns ... somehow, I can't quite get them to fit together as one person. I'm thinking she's very pale, and bi-racial (caucasian and asian, perhaps). She's trying to fit into two cultures, and it doesn't really work.
Her father is very, very rich and spoiles her rotten. (She never wears the same outfit twice.)
Hispanic. Passionate about ballet and loves kids. Is very generous, like donating to the Red Cross and Make-A-Wish. Has unconventional interests other than ballet though, maybe listening to bands like Nightwish. Works as a barista to pay for ballet lessons.

because memory moves in orbits of absence, because she holds her hands out in the rain, and rain remembers nothing, not even how it became itself. - Las Ruinas del Corazon, Eric Gamalinda
Has an overly-romantic mother. Likes to work with wood--aspires to be an architect and does carpentry as a side hobby. Physically fit. Was teased because of her [it is a her, right?] name---thus hating it when she was younger. Doesn't hate it as much anymore now that she's older and can appreciate that it's a unique name people rarely use.

The idea that a poem was a made thing stayed with me, and I decided then that I wanted to be an artist, not just a diarist. So I put myself through a kind of apprenticeship in writing poetry, and I understood even then that my practice as a poet was deeply related to my reading. — Edward Hirsch
