How ever he has hidden gentle heart but needs to learn how to handle a lady in disguise. He sets limits and forms structures which often triggers her need to break his beliefs with facts of her experiences. He sets boundaries, his mission is precisely to establish them while she breaks his traditional views.

He is hard-working and ambitious, aspiring to create something that will stand the test of time, and he detests the idea of being financially dependent on others but doesn't mind taking care of someone or others but often he takes himself for granted.He often needs social recognition for his achievements, which –approached through the prism of psychology– usually touches upon his relationship with his father figure and authority figures in general.He does not express his feelings and often seems to consider sexuality a necessary evil. His guilt and strict self-imposed restrictions do not allow them to loosen up. Despite having a conservative mind, though, He is in need to transition from theory to practice, thus she providing the realism he lacks.

Character description: a happy go lucky Girl who tours the world and in each town she visits she finds an experience that teaches her a lesson! She leaves her life as she can afford to and always looks for a better way to turn around things for others and herself! She often meets characters and circumstances that reveals to her what the environment and what people are like! SIA is of a mixed cultural background which allows her to blend easily with others but her character is complex. She is deep but at the same time can be playful, she can't tell jokes but she is funny. She is often focused, emotionally sensitive, complex, determined, and charismatic and in moments when she is pissed or needs to achieve a goal at a task or teaching someone a lesson will exhibit less flattering characteristics such as being stubborn and even cruel during moments of extremity. She is 6ft tall, broad shouldered, not the average looking female when she wants to! She is a lady and a tramp when it suits to bring justice to an occasion or situation! She speaks Russian and English and aspires to learn French, Dutch and Spanish! She knows how to dance into a variety of music genres which includes Latin, Hiphop and ballroom styles, not to perfection but she sure can spin circles around guys she likes from time to time! Her home is a house painted in white and black colours on the outside and on the inside the decor is colourful and practical! She bought the house about 2 years prior. In an almost dilapidated state, but she takes the pain and pride in restoring every part of it by herself! It is her castle, her hiding place from the noise of the world but even then there are those moments when even there she can't hide and she takes off on her journeys of self and the worlds search! On occasion she pisses off the neighbours by playing her music loud, loves movies, eats healthy and cooks her own meals and on occasion takes herself out! She breaks and bends the socially held rules, cultural and religious beliefs. She seems to the public eye a rebel but keeps sacred values of love and friendship and can and will break them should the need arise! She is a heavy in stature gal and have always been. Shy that she has no usual standard looks for a model she tends to hide in a variety of ways! In moments she puts on traditional attires of countries she visited but most of all she preferred men styled suits for receptions as that accentuated and hid her self imposed image of herself and body! She finds it hard getting out of that mental picture with fashion and seeks her own style! She lives alone most of the time but often gets visited by friends who she at times journeys with and family members who seem always interested in how her personal life is! She often shrugs the idea of settling down but has her moments of passion and pain which fuels her writing and quests for the worlds mysteries! She is spiritual but not religious, she mixes with all in ease but sometimes departs in fierce passion, be it with friends or foes! Her life is a mixture of mysteries and fantasy, thrills and drama. She also possesses the ability to foresee events through dreams and flashes of visions happening as she makes her journeys! Most of the time she doesn't like to be dependent on anyone and saves! She is a freelancer and often has odd jobs that pay her basic bills but not for extravagant trips! She prefers to rough it out and from there she takes the experiences where she writes her stories from!
A white male in his 40's. Nice but tough, tall and cute!

Hi Robert, what can I do for you this early morning?

Hello, I know you are not used to me calling you in the mornings but this is a business call! I know I have invited you a million times to come over for a grove but always get a no! I am beginning to wonder if you are running away from me?
SIA
(She smiles in reply! )
No, that's not the case, I just don't make trips to grove except when I have a job mission! I am beginning to think that you think that I don't have fun!
ROBERT

Your kind of fun is hard, do you ever let loose?

Don't you have anyone there to help you out!
ROBERT

Sincerely I don't because most of the people I know are in the Oil and Gas industry and creativity doesn't exist in their vocabulary!
SIA
(She nods!)
Ok, but I need to coordinate with my boss, so I can see if this can be placed on the next issue of the magazine/news paper or I wouldn't be able to have the space to execute!
ROBERT
(With a serious tone he says)
I will pay for all your needs!
SIA

I know most business people are broke sometimes, so allow me to handle my basics, you spend what's needed for the event and at the end we will share in the profit! Kapish?
