if you were to ask who adira was ten years ago , she couldn't give you a proper answer. over the ten years, adira has changed a lot.

for starters, adira would've called herself a naive little girl before stepping foot into the world of fashion marketing and design. she had no idea what she was getting into then, but now, she is highly experienced.

for one, adira is ambitious which can sometimes be read as a workaholic. driven to do her utmost best, adira never let's herself off the hook. she's determined to show other people what she's made of due to the fact that she got fired from her previous job because her articles were not 'living up to their standards'. and, let's face it, she's a little bit obsessed with status and the trappings of success. but, hey, it's worth it because she's a self-made multi-millionaire all on her own.

she's persistent which is sometimes read as relentless. adira may not be the fastest, cleverest, or the most talented, but hard work beats talent every time when talent doesn't work as hard. that's why adira made it - she never gave up. not even in work life, but for others now, too. she's always working to make her friends happier now, and since she's in a much better mindset than she was ten years ago, it's a lot easier now than it ever was before.

honestly though, adira is a realist which is sometimes read as a pessimist. she's realistic when it comes to what she wants to do. sure, she definitely has dreams and goals in life, everyone does, but she makes them realistic and grows from there. she believes that there's a difference between unrealistic goals and not working hard enough.

for example, one of her goals when she was first starting out was to become a CEO of a fashion magazine. now sure, that may have been a bit unrealistic to someone else, but in order to achieve that goal of hers, she knew that she had to make a smaller and clearer game plan about how she wanted to go about this so it doesn't come unrealistic. she believes if you put in the work, then it's achievable.
it becomes unrealistic to her when there is no game plan and no starting point. if you have none of that, then obviously it's not going to work out. but putting in the hard work might be the difference between being successful and being in debt.

she's sensitive but it can be read as touchy. adira has zero tolerance when it comes to being made fun of, like, ZERO. she will hunt someone down if they feel mocked or undermined by them. however, when something affects her, she does not let it show. she's a bottler, and will bottle everything up until the smallest thing can tick her off and she'll start crying about everything. it's not her fault though, she just hates being vulnerable. she hates putting her problems onto other people, and she rather work them out of her own than have someone else help/do it for her.

adira is highly intelligent. she's always smart and intuitive about how things work, and likes to get involved and just do it rather than read/write/watch/listen to it. she wants to make a change in the fashion world, and that's exactly what she's doing. she believes everyone has a style even if they don't like fashion the way she does. but she believes that people need to express them through clothing. and she one hundred percent stands by the fact that you need to love yourself in order to find who you are. and that's exactly what her fashion line, and magazine, is all about.

adira is now disciplined. if there were a test with twevle people all together, and they could either get one thousands now or wait and get two thousand afterwards... guess who'd be a winner? right. adira. she could sit there in that laboratory for years if she thought this was a battle of wills with a tangible reward. adira can make sacrifices. she can control her urges. she is rock solid.

but above all that, she loves to have fun! she's definently outgoing and is the life of the party. she's talkative, but not annoyingly chatty. she always has something interesting to say. she's never just having a boring conversation about the weather; she's usually partaking in deep conversations about life. she can easily strike up conversations with strangers, and it a lot better at making friends now than she ever was before. she now knows how not to come of too strong, and can read people very well and the situation. she now knows how to adapt to the person she is talking with and controsl herself and not make herself over the top.

but, she definitely is overdramatic, and sometimes stretches out the truth a bit to make it seem a lot worse than it was. but she's definitely fun to be around, and she's one of those people that you can't help but gravitate towards.

though, just like the old adira, she is very selfish and cruel and will stop anyone from "protecting" her. she cares a lot about herself and judges how the situation will effect her. so, this preoccupation with herself often makes people think that she is selfish. that, and she genuinely is selfish. she wants the best for her, and sometimes that means doing the most to get it.

she is also a fighter, and will not let someone walk over or push her around. she is hot-headed and straight to the point. she is not a doormat and doesn't like being spoken down to like a child. she is strong willed and is up for a challenge. she sticks her ground and doesn't let anyone hold her back. not to mention that she's also EXTREMELY stubborn and rarely ever changes her views or ideas because she thinks they are perfect.

adira is overly confident in herself, which comes off as vain, but she doesn't mind it. she is also very selfish, as stated as before, and sometimes likes to show off what she has. she dresses better, drivers better cars, and brags about her success. she doesn't mean to, however. it's just, she grew up in a culture where looking good meant everything, and she feels the need to do the same. every time she goes to Lebanon, she feels intimidated as they all look like supermodels and then there's her. so, she feels like she needs to look good at all times. that, and she's in the fashion world. she has to look her best at all times or else people won't trust her and her brand.

adira is very greedy and always wants more and more, often feeling unsatisfied with what she has. she works unnecessarily hard for what she wants, and will never stop until she gets it. the inner capricorn inside her makes her work and train hard, never letting herself off the hook. adira will snap at anyone that tries and overthrow her. she is very independent, and doesn't like working with others. she is ruthless fighter, and often acts on judgement rather than emotions. she doesn't allow emotion to cloud her judgement, as she now knows that it will fail her.

she used to be dependent on other people to make her happy or make her feel whole, but now, she is truly happy with her life, and she couldn't wish anything less for the people she has in her life, the opportunities she had, her daughter margo, and her multi-million dollar brand.

but with all of this, this makes adira now adira, and she's the happiest she's ever been in a long, long time.

- backstory -

ooh boy, this backstory is a doozy.
where to even begin ?

once adira gave birth to her daughter margo at the age of nineteen, is when everything started to take a turn for adira. before, she was definitely depressed. she had lost everything she had ever known. she lost herself and she didn't know who she was or her own identity other than her name and her brand. she had spent a long time by herself designing her little heart away. she had gotten accepted into three schools, Bridgeport University, Fashion Institute of Technology, and London College of Fashion. But, with her baby on the way and the fact that she would have to pay either as an international student or out-of-state fees, she had decided to stay and Bridgeport so the bills wouldn't be over the top.

adira gave birth to margo on september 8th 2020, making her a virgo. immediately as margo was born, adira had cried happy tears and held her close to her chest. from that moment on, margo had been the light in her life. she didn't realize how much she needed her until then. that baby became her everything the moment it was born into her life. while she had just given birth, she took the first semester off of university to spend time with her child. she had spent many sleepless nights caring for that child, and making her that both her and dominic got equal time with margo.

around when margo was one years old, adira had gotten herself a internship at a fashion magazine called "style & stars". she worked under many influential people in the fashion industry during that time, and she was the first ever intern to write her own article for the magazine. she then graduated at Bridgeport university with a degree in fashion marketing and design. she got a full-time job at "style & stars" and began working there fulltime. adira was truly happy with her job at the magazine company, and she genuinely enjoyed writing and coming up with the latest trends saying what was in, and what was out. during this time, she had changed her fashion brand from 'NewWay Fashion' to 'Lavish', and continued to sell clothing. she was making a good amount of money, and margo was put into kindergarten while adira was at work. she was determined to make margo have the best life possible...

that was until she got fired from her job at "style & stars" because her articles were not 'living up to the magazines expectations'. adira had lost the best job she ever had and was incredibly heartbroken by it. it took her a little bit to realize that she shouldn't be sad about this and make her own magazine. she was determined to learn everything that she could, and even turned to her father jad to help her start her business. he did help her, and shortly after, adira had her own small studio with four workers under her; a writer, editor, a photographer, and a graphic designer. it was small, but it was hers, and adira was happy with it at the time.

she had spent many sleepless nights working on her company and fashion line. cried for many hours out of frustration and failure. has been stressed out of her mind. had almost went bankrupt over the years. and she even made deals that she definently shouldn't have, to finally making profit off of what she was doing! her small company of ten people quickly turned into something more, and the moment that she turned twenty-five, she bought her first permanent luxury apartment in paris, france. she built a headquarters in france, called 'fashionscape paris', and a fashion boutique in paris for her brand 'Lavish'. and eventually, at the age of twenty-seven she moved to milan and opened up another headquarters in italy and called that one 'fashionscape milan'. she then also opened up another fashion boutique for Lavish in milan as well. and she currently has a bunch of stores all over the world, and only three headquarters; bridgeport, paris, and milan. her main stores are also in bridgeport, paris, and milan. she lives in paris and milan, but lives in paris most of the time.

but, over all that time, she had gotten into a few relationships. nothing big happened from those, however, as she was way too focused on working on her career and margo. margo was struggling with school for a long time before adira decided it would be best for her if she was doing online school/be home schooled so she could work at he rown pace and pass. it ended up working for both margo and with adira's busy schedule. adira is often helping our margo with math homework, and sits down at the kitchen table helping her. she and margo visit dominic whenever they can, usually when adira can get a break/vacation. they make the most of what they have (which is a LOT), but adira is really the happiest she's ever been.

about margo !

- margo lives with her mom adira, yet visits dominic every summer and every winter break.

- margo used to go to a real school, but it got way too complicated for her. she didn't understand the teaches very well, and she had a hard time following and keeping up with her classes. so, for that reason, she now does online school/is home schooled in french. which is easiest for her and adira's busy life/schedule.

- she is almost fluent in italian.

- french is her best language.

- can speak conversational arabic.

- english is a bit of a struggle for her as she's barely around it, but she can understand it, just doesn't speak it well.

- she struggles in math a lot.

- she absolutely loves her parents dominic and adira, and even though she doesn't understand why her parents are not together, she loves them both. but she's happiest when she gets to be around both dominic and adira instead of one or the other.
