Virtual Worlds Assignment - Virtual Identity

I chose the virtual world YoVille, for which I created an avatar designated by the single letter "i."

Virtual Identity: "i", age 23, was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and moved to the California coast as a child. She comes from a family of artists, writers, and musicians. Her father died when she was a teenager and she developed a drug problem during her teenage years which was later resolved. She is somewhat reclusive and has only a few personal friends, whom she considers to be an extended family. She works as a copy editor, and in her spare time she paints vaguely disturbing, brightly-colored images of people and things from the world around her. Oils are the preferred medium. She also writes poetry, but never shows it to anyone. She can be very distrusting of other people and dislikes making eye contact with strangers. She is plagued by a wide variety of health issues. Her goal in life is to make the world more beautiful while she still has use of her physical body, because without a body it can be a lot more difficult to make things happen.
