What's in a Name?

Daniela Bazzi

Daniela Bazzi – Lebanese-Venezuelan ancestry; Daniela Bazzi is a beautiful girl of partial Venezuelan descent who dates Jorge Calderon during his college years once his father receives a temporary job transfer back to his native Florida. He maintains a steady relationship with her throughout the years until they amicably break up just a few short months before he relocated to the Northeast. She is of Hispanic heritage, although she physically appears to be racially ambiguous and previously went to Oxford University. She is known for being lively, gregarious, and unreserved, leading to Naomi's occasionally feeling insecure when seeing images of her on Jorge's social media once they had broken up. Daniela is labeled as attractive and has long, sun-kissed hair with blonde lowlights, as well as sparkling brown eyes, a slender build, and a lightly tanned, olive complexion. Naomi could act jealously and feel uncharacteristically possessive of Jorge when she felt slight envy over his and Daniela growing closeness. She is portrayed as having a "beachy sort of vibe" in her appearance by Naomi, with her tanned skin and small beauty mark beneath her left eye. She loves prints and neutral colors, as well as earth tones and mixing fabrics and textures that she finds while thrifting. Daniela is described as indefatigable and shows an exceptional desire to put her life on the line for the things that she believes in. She shows courage and poise against impossible odds and has proven to be very capable of taking care of herself. Her demeanor opposes Naomi's in many ways, with Daniela being relatively charismatic and socially graceful and having a regal energy about her. Strong, sensitive, and a bit secretive, she is a very talented writer who really blossoms when she is speaking on stage and enjoys Gossip Girl, as well as reading chick-lits with happy endings. 

Daniela is incredibly candid and free-spoken, as well as bold, vivacious, and self-assured and seen as ambitious and a "go-getter" type of girl. She was an overachiever in Jorge's former high school and was enrolled in several advanced courses as a teen, with a passion for writing and photography and desire to study broadcast journalism when in college. She is a very playful, dramatic, and smart individual who looks at life through a different lens, always snapping pictures of and filming her friends. She is healthy, athletic and full of energy, which leads her to participate in a wide variety of sports, such as surfing, flag football, netball and rock climbing. Daniela is a sassy girl who has no fear of confrontation or situations and is very organized, as she knows who she is, what she wants, and how to get it. A true trendsetter, she is always chasing after the next big adventure and making a statement by just being who she is. As a journalist, she always strives to reach the truth behind the story, even if that means resorting to dishonest means to get it. Like Naomi, she has a passion for traveling to foreign lands and dreams of bringing light to immigration policies and related social issues with her work, in addition to exploring and bringing focus to different cultures and their practices. Daniela supports all of her friends, allies, and families, whether adopted or biological deeply, and she is always willing to help and fight for a good cause. Being interested in experimenting with her plants, she became the potion master of the group who specializes in brewing and creating remedies and medicines, and she often uses Za'atar. She is shown to have a sensitive personality to the point where she would instinctively care for her friends, as well as less popular students when they are in distress. 

It is shown that she has an insecure side to her personality however and has problems when it comes to believing in herself at times. Daniela's insecurity would sometimes cause her to hide most of her feelings to the point where she would have problems expressing them. She is one of the most diligent student at and is cautious of her actions, and although she has a kind-hearted side, she at times gets very angry at her enemies, which can cause her to act quickly and show a more aggressive side of herself. She can also be upfront whenever she is angry or feels threatened, sticking up for herself when others put her down, and when she feels that there is something wrong. She is not always seen wearing a smile on her face, but she does crack jokes in order to cheer her friends up whenever they are sad. Daniela is eloquent and succinct in her words yet is described as having been "the type of person who always had something new to talk about or interesting to say". Feminine, glamorous, and gracious, others often view her as inspirational and "a true people person" due to her tendency to take command, particularly when she shares her thoughts in her writings for the school newspaper. She is not pretentious, but is instead relatively open-minded and explores alternative trends in fashion, fitness, and beauty, which include Pilates and eating a plant-based diet. She deeply appreciates Jorge's dedication to his family upon meeting him and finds his closeness to his sick mother and desires to aid her with her struggles with multiple sclerosis to be admirable. Jorge in turn is immediately captivated by Daniela's looks and charisma, as well as her warmth and hospitality towards him throughout his stay at university, causing him to gradually develop an attraction to her. 

After the communication patterns between Jorge and Naomi become increasingly distant and laconic as they become preoccupied with their lives, their texts lessen in frequency. He develops a relationship with Naomi after confiding in and developing a strong emotional connection with her through a series of meaningful conversations. He unexpectedly becomes intimate with her one night during their college spring break trip to Anguilla, breaking Naomi's heart and causing them to momentarily part ways. Regardless, Daniela is also considered to be incredibly perceptive overall, as well as a particularly good judge of character. While she and Jorge date for some time during their college years, she has noted that Jorge is deeply in love with Naomi and that his heart has always been with her to an extent, sensing that his connection with her is special. He claims to have found someone in her who somehow always be able to bring him back to a secure, comfortable place that "feels like home." Although he is charmed by her sociability and confidence, Jorge can't quite forget his feelings for Naomi, and despite the length of their relationship, Daniela's personality and specific life vision eventually causes them to part ways. Daniela has a strong will and temperament which unfortunately made her clash with her boyfriend, culminating in their break-up. She shows her maturity by that choice, understanding that relationships do not always work out, and that it is perfectly fine to go separate paths, yet without animosity towards each other. They break up on amicable terms, yet Jorge only has eyes for and sees something unique and particular in Naomi, in whom he has found a rare beauty. She choses to remain single for a couple of years as she experiences the thrills of young adulthood alongside her best friend and roommate, a raven-haired girl named Esperanza who has trichotillomania. 

Daniela is often described as "tall" by her peers, and she has noticeably wide hips and says that her favorite land animal is a cheetah. She started using a special hair gel before it ended up getting recalled for attracting bears, and she also has a variety of hats, her most prominent being a sun hat. She is always practical and logical, sometimes to a fault, and her tendency to get engrossed in technology and enthusiasm for it can be irritating. She is for the most part described as being calm, encouraging and having a lot of faith, as well as always providing a shoulder to cry on. As an adult, Daniela is always on the hunt for a new adventure, whether that be traveling to a new land or trying out something new right at home. She always keeps in touch with all of the friends she has made while traveling, and they help her keep up with the latest exotic trends. She later meets and develops a long-term romance with a neighbor of Cuban-American ancestry named Germán, who was a public administration major. The couple eventually marries and gives birth to a daughter named Catalina a few years after Daniela has graduated. Daniela states that she was put in charge of the January Jamboree and created a BFF Snack Match app that becomes popular, and she gets lobster as a result. When her father hijacked her Quinceañera, her brother helped her stand up to her controlling parent for taking over the festivities. She apparently has millinophilia, an extreme love of wearing hats, and bears a strong resemblance to her great-great grandfather P.H. Phlorange, but she strongly denies it. She is shown to have a habit of heel stomping throughout the house, meanwhile her parents are living in West New York by the time she is in her early forties. INFJ 3w4
