I did this for =daggerpoint's contest and actually finished her about a week ago, but needed to wait until I could come up with a good description before I could post her, since that was a key part of the contest rules. I decided to go with a kind of magazine article/interview deal, candid sidebar stuff, since the character is kind of famous for knowing people who are famous, rather than actually doing anything spectacularly meaningful or job-related herself.

So here it is. A little trip inside Solita's world.

SOLITA PAIGE AT BAR SIX
by Gristle McThornbody

MANHATTAN, NY - While scamming the crowd at Bar Six this weekend, this reporter ran into socialite and kinetic beauty Solita Paige, blatantly kept girlfriend of [name withheld], Chairman and CFO of [company name withheld]. We sat at one of the narrow tables and got to chatting over our respective beverages; iced tea for her - she doesn't drink - and a whiskey sour for me.

GM: So, Ms. Paige. You're known by the pink streak in your hair, and the pink color of your eyes. Are those natural or cosmetic traits?
SP: What do you think?
GM: They're definitely not common, either way. Sources say you've never been seen without them.
SP: I didn't know I'd been watched that closely. It's just what I look like. An eye, a dress, it's all the same. Some pieces change day to day, some don't.
GM: Your style is something else you're marked for. How do you put together your look?
SP: I wake up in the morning and I look at my day, what I have planned. I think about who I'm going to see and what they've seen recently. It's formulaic, and not hard. When you start with a good foundation of beautiful pieces, day to day comes together pretty easily. Accessories are important, too. Details are what make the difference.
GM: Maybe it's a knack.
SP: Maybe.
GM: It's been said that pink is your signature color.
SP: Pink is a very feminine color, and one that I personally have an emotive response to. Some shades make me feel powerful and fierce, others soft and sweet. I think it's only practical to use that to its fullest advantage when dressing for success.
GM: Would you say you're a party girl?
SP: I'd say I like to go to parties. I like high energy places, crowds, noise. Clubs or concerts. Have you ever been on the trading floor of the New York stock exchange? It's pretty sexy. But it's not the only thing I like.
GM: People call you a good luck charm.
SP: Do they?
GM: Some of the men you've been with suggest you've brought them good fortune. Your friends report finding money in their pockets they didn't have before after spending time with you, and getting promotions they thought they'd blown.
SP: [laughs] There's no such thing as luck.
GM: What's with the skeleton key and the lock pick set on your arm?
SP: It's symbollic.
GM: Of what?
SP: Unlocking doors.
GM: Do you ever use it?
SP: Which?
GM: Either.
SP: The skeleton key unlocks something in particular, but I can't say what. The lock pick set was a gift from an old friend. I don't use it anymore.
GM: Oh. Where do you go after this?
SP: I have a bikini wax.
GM: Does that hurt as bad as people make it sound, or is there a trick?
SP: Lay me down, spread my legs, slap it on, and rip it off. There’s no such thing as a painless bikini wax, just a fast one.
