FOR "OLIVIA" READERS: This is Lisbon's dress (chapters 4 and 5), imagine it with her hair curled and up, and without the slit.

I'm Brazilian-American, but basically a child of the world, as I travel and move a lot in occurrence of my mother's job. I'm a student, somewhere in between a kid and a woman (not to go all Britney...), and I'm between coursing History or Journalism. My passion is writing, and in my opinion, along with reading and being lazy, it's the best thing I do. I speak English, Portuguese and Spanish fluently and grasp at some VERY basic Italian and French. Currently I'm living in Brazil, so maybe that explains why I'm a little behind on my favorite TV shows, which are, "How I Met Your Mother", "Castle", "The Mentalist", "New Girl", "Pretty Little Liars" (my guilty pleasure), and also very cheesy, very romantic, spiritual Brazilian Soaps, the most recent having been "Amor, Eterno Amor", LOVE Miriam and Rodrigo to death, he's just so handsome it irks me! Anyway, one of my best friends is basically imaginary (that's just how painfully unsocial and picky I am), his name is Pablo, he's adorably cute, looks like something between Ian Sommerhalder (is that how it's spelt?) and Gael Garcia Bernal.

Some of my favorite authors are Gabriel Garcia Márquez, Isabel Allende, Umberto Eco, Marion Zimmer-Bradley, Margaret George, Mario Vargas Llosa, Mary del Priore and Eduardo Bueno.
