FEARS: -Something horrible happening to her family, and her not being able to help in anyway (being helpless)
-Getting sick again, or worse, her sister getting sick
-Never accomplishing everything on her bucket list- which has been revised countless times, during and after her stint in the children's hospital.
SECRETS: People know she's an advocate for sick kids, and that she was sick as a child herself, but she's managed to keep her specific illness and the length of time in which she had practically lived in the hospital well under wraps. She doesn't want people to know that it was far more serious than she lets on.
PERSONALITY: Sweetheart && Naive Sor is a darling person. She wears her heart on her sleeve and tries to do whatever she can to help those around her. Sure, it can appear as though she's naive, running around helping everyone, but she's a firm believer in Karma and knows that her good deeds will provoke others to do good deeds as well. If that makes her naive, then she's more than welcome to wear the title with pride.
Driven && Determined Sorina never thought the word "if". It had always been "when" When she'd get better, she'd do this, when she got better, she'd do that. She was driven and determined to live through first her illness, and then the small troubles she had when she'd actually attended high school. She fought for everything she did in her life. Whether it was her modelling career, slowing that down for College or pushing through her illness to get better; get stronger. She had a strong willpower, and doesn't take no for an answer.
Scared Rina is actually, hidden deep underneath all her optimism, is terrified of getting sick again. It had been years now since she'd won the battle she'd been fighting, but because she'd been so young when she'd developed the cancer, there was always a chance that she could develop AML again, or something else entirely. She doesn't want that, but she doesn't really worry about it either, unless she's left alone way too long with her own thoughts. Then her fears get the better of her and it takes her a bit to get back to her usually cheerful self.
Caring && Humanitarian This blonde bombshell isn't just looks. She's a very compassionate young woman. She thinks it stems from the fact that she was in the hospital and she had caring people help her through the process that she wants to help others; especially kids. She knows the feeling of someone helping out a young child in need, just to see them laugh. She wants to give other children that same feeling. She's currently the face of the Bucharest children's foundation, having practically lived there for quite a few years when she was young.
Intelligent Sorina is very intelligent. Having spent so much time in the hospital, she read; a lot. Rina read everything she could get her hands on. And eventually she surpassed the grade level for her age. She wants to do something with her intelligence though, and not squander it on something that she considers useless. She's gone into Business Studies so she can be more apart of the children's foundation that she's the spokesperson for.

HISTORY: Sorina Elisabeta was born in a bright sunny morning to Lucian and Alina Lupescu in Bucharest, Romania. She lived there, legally until she was eighteen. She was a happy baby growing up with the usual problems. She sure didn't sleep through the night, and she developed colic when she was two months but it only lasted a month or so. Even at a young age, it was clear that she loved the outdoors. When she was three, her parents had another baby, another girl. At the time, the family thought everything was perfect. Boy did all that change. Sorina was seven, playing soccer with a city league when she fell and hurt herself trying to get the ball. It had happened before, so neither Lucian nor Alina thought anything of it. When about two weeks later, the pretty nasty bruised she'd developed hadn't shown signs of healing, they took her to the children's hospital; where her pediatrician's office was. They ran tests, took some x-rays, some blood. The doctor said everything would be fine, it was probably just a different bruise that hadn't been noticed before, and that the previous one was already long gone.
It took three days for the test to come back, and it took three days for the family's world to fall apart. Sorina was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, or AML. So so started the very long and often painful road to recovery and ultimately, survival. Because her sister was only four, and the chemotherapy and all the tests were wrecking havoc on her immune system, Sorina's parents wouldn't let her little sister visit in the hospital. The family was strained for quite some time. Alina stayed with Sorina in the hospital because all her job required was a computer to type on and a not yet released book; she was a Senior Editor and could really do her job from home most of the time. She did have to make trips into the office during hours and that was where her father would come to stay with her. But Sorina was very much her mother's girl, having spent so much time with her.
With the amount of time she had to spend in the hospital, she read. She read everything. Her mother homeschooled her, and so when she wasn't in getting treatment, or sleeping because of it, she was learning. There was no "if". It was always "when". When she got better, she would do something with her life. She wanted to help other kids like her; sick kids. Show them that there were people out in the world that could overcome and be somebody. By the time she was eleven and in remission, she was at a grade level far higher than those her age. She was able to go home at eleven, but she didn't attend actual school, like her sister. She'd lost all her hair, and she was still, really, recovering. So while her sisters friends became her friends, while they were over playing, they still looked at her differently. Sorina mostly kept to herself, in those first few years out of the hospital. She visited those she'd left at the Children's hospital everyweek, eventually some were allowed home and others, well, there were some that she donned a pretty black dress with white mary-janes and saw them one last time in a church. She didn't cry, she knew they were no longer in pain. They were finally at peace. She kept up her studies, and at thirteen, after her doctors and parents all agreed she was well enough, she enrolled in an actual school, a high school; for her junior year.
It was difficult for her, but she made some friends. And just as quickly, those two years were gone and she was ready for college. Sorina chose to take some time away from school, maybe enroll when she was the same age as everyone. She wasn't entirely sure, but she knew that she wanted to stay home for a bit. Sorina, her sister and their mother were at the mall, shopping for some new clothes for school, for Sor's sister when their lives changed again. Sorina and Madalina were joking around, using the change rooms as catwalks and just playing around when a woman who had also been shopping seen them. She'd watched the two young Lupescu girls for a few minutes before confronting their mother, about Sorina and a job. Being the polite woman that she was, Alina accepted the woman's card. At first, Sor's parents didn't want to let her even go to the audition. They thought it would be too much for her; after all she'd been through. She was still their fragile little angel. Of course, she was far from fragile, and she said so, fighting, arguing and debating until she was blue in the face. Since she'd been free and clear, she'd done everything she could, and her parents approved of all of that. So, why couldn't they approve of this too? She'd asked them that, and then, she added her dream of helping other sick kids, and how, if she went to the audition, got the job and earned the money, she could really help them the way she'd been helped. Finally, they relented and Alina took her daughter to the audition.
Sorina's teenage years were filled from then on with traveling to all sorts of different countries all over the world, go-sees, auditions, catwalks by all her favourite designers- and some of her not so favourites, parties, photo shoots and fundraisers where she spoke out about sick children. She was cutting her bucket list almost in half, and she wasn't even two decades old. By the time she was eighteen, Sorina had become the spokesperson for the Bucharest Children's Hospital where she'd spent what felt like a large chunk of her childhood. Shortly after her eighteenth birthday, Sorina decided to move to New York, full time and attempt a life there, with a fresh start. Sure, she still had her modeling and her jobs, she still went on go-sees and met with photographers and designers, but since she was fifteen those and other models were her only friends. She wanted to meet new people, normal people. She wanted to attend College, major in Business and be more a part of the Children's Foundations that she helped with. She wanted to start her own Foundation specifically for children with AML. And maybe, finally come clean about her own illness. She'd visited New York so many times in her short career, that she loved the city. Not as much as Bucharest, that would always be her home, but New York was a very close second.
She hadn't been in New York three months before her parents allowed their youngest to fly off to live with Sorina for the summer. She was supposed to be back home getting ready for another year of High school and thinking about which clubs to join; but no, she was running around the streets of the big apple with her big sister. Meanwhile they're determined, anything but fragile baby girl was starting school as soon as she'd put her baby sister on a plane back to Bucharest, business major, and working the runways as much as she could. She had wanted to be able to run the foundation she was a part of, to be more in-depth with the foundation than just the spokesperson. Two years passed, and the summer before her junior year of NYU, her parents let her little sister come visit her in the City for the summer again. When it came time for her to go back home to attend college and make something for herself, she finally came out with the truth. She'd been accepted to NYU. Their father had known, but not their mother, nor her sister. She'd been upset, their mother, but their father had managed to talk her into believing it was a good thing. So now both their angels were across the world, attending school. Sorina really wouldn't have had it any other way if she were being honest. She didn't want to leave her baby sister alone back home, but she'd really wanted to live in New York, at least for a time, and she wanted to see if she could be a normal person, without the AML and the possibility of developing it again, or something else, looming over her head. So far, so good on that front.
