Young Server From Norms

Description
Blanca is a young woman working at the Claremont Norms as a server and receptionist behind the paying counter. She has gelled jet black hair tied back in a ornament ball held together by a black, shiny, jeweled clip. On her rather small earlobes sparkle little red earrings. Her eyebrows are penciled heavily, and long eyelashes and black eyeliner surround the brown pupils of her almond-shaped eyes. Her smooth, slightly tanned skin makes the bright red lips stand out from the rest of her face. The blood red lips match the ruby tie on the white uniform every server wears. As the next customer in line steps forward to her, she smiled dazzlingly, showing her white, perfectly straight teeth. Below her left shoulder, a metal clip shows her name, Blanca. When she types something down on the computer behind the counter, she reveals shocking hot pink nails.  As she reads the names of people who are in line, I can tell her high-pitched voice is sharp and clear. She works very fast, and is very experienced. Soon, before I know it, we are at the front of the line and being ushered to a table. As she walks us over to our table, I notice that she has overly large buttocks, and is wearing matching black trousers and shoes.


Background Story
There is no way I can tell what Blanca’s real background story was by just watching her, unless I was someone like Dumbledore or Voldemort and could read minds. So I made up my own version of Blanca’s backstory.
Blanca was born in a traditional Mexican family in Southern California. She was one of five children.  Her family was neither rich nor poor, although her parents were always busy raising money for the five children and paid very little attention to Blanca. With little attention from her parents, she became a wild young girl. At an elementary school in Upland, she became more civilized and grew beautiful. But her grades were only mediocre. Blanca also lived through the end period of the Cold War. She and her family were always very scared about nuclear missiles from the Soviet Union. But luckily, when she was in junior high, the Cold War ended. She was a pretty popular girl and was surrounded by friends most of the time. Many boys at school liked her, but she had high expectations, and rejected all of them.
Although Blanca tried hard to improve her grades, she could not succeed because no one from her family could help. Even though Blanca tried her best, her grades stayed the same and did not improve. After she graduated from high school, she started to help earn money for her family. She knew could not get into college, so she has had minimum wage jobs ever since.
          Recently, Blanca has been a server at Norms Restaurant. After a few months there, the manager promoted her to be a receptionist. When I was observing her, it was just a regular work day. From her expressions, I could tell she enjoyed her job greatly.
