NAME
⇶Dr. Nelida Karmele Raquel Melendrez
Even though Nelida would much rather
prefer a shorter name, she recognizes
the significance of paying both her
grandmother and great-grandmother
tribute by carrying their names in her
own.
NAME MEANING
⇶Nelida — bright one, shining one
Nelida is a unique feminine forename
with Spanish, French, and Hebrew
origins. It is a variant of the name
Eleanor, meaning "bright one" and
"shining one."
⇶Karmele — garden, the garden of God
This name derives from the Hebrew
“Karmel,” meaning “garden", "the
garden of God", "garden-land.” It is a
holy name in honor of the Blessed
Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel.
⇶Raquel — lamb
Raquelle, also spelled Raquel, is the
Spanish form of the Hebrew girl's
name Rachel, meaning “ewe.”
⇶Melendrez — red
Melendrez is a Spanish surname of
Basque origin, derived from the word
"melen", meaning "red."
NAME PRONUNCIATION
⇶nelly-dah kar-me-le rah-kell meh-len-drez
In of pronunciation, people
typically find Nelida's name rather
problematic. Owing to its infrequency,
they often mistakenly spell her name
as "nel-i-da", as opposed to how it is
supposed to be pronounced in Spain.
She regularly encounters the same
issue with her middle name, given the
rarity of Karmele.
NICKNAMES
⇶Nel
Nelida prefers this plain abbreviation
to her full forename, as do most
people seem to. This inclination is
rather convenient because it helps her
steer clear of potential
misinterpretations concerning the
pronunciation of her name.
⇶Nelda
The formation of this particular
nickname dates all the way back to
her student years, throughout which
her teachers often mistook her name
for the similar feminine forename
"Nelda". Spotting an opportunity to
create an innocent jest out of this
recurrent oversight, Nel's friends took
it upon themselves to regularize its
usage among each other.
⇶Nelly
Regardless of how well the nickname
may honor her forename, Nelida
would rather people used her other
one. She's never been able to take a
liking to this one. From her standpoint,
it is nothing short of childish, as
further proven by the fact that it's
typically used by prejudiced people
who intend to make light of her input,
or disregard her competency from
either a personal or a professional
perspective.
⇶Mi Corazón
Seeing as both Nelida and her partner
are medical professionals specializing
in cardiology, this Spanish term of
endearment does a rather nice job at
subtly alluding to their line of work, as
its English equivalent would be "my
heart". Nelida and her boyfriend use
the term exclusively to refer to one
another, even honoring their native
language by doing so.
⇶Doc
Nelida typically only comes across
this nickname in her work environment.
She had encountered plenty of patients
who had hoped to establish a more
friendly relationship with her by calling
her various unprofessional names, of
which the most common one is "Doc"
— to her considerable exasperation.
While Nelida does have a spirited side
to her character, she would prefer to
maintain a distinct boundary between
her professional and her personal life,
which includes the demonstration of
adequate respect and courtesy. The
usage of deprecative does little
to assure her that she is being taken
seriously.
AGE
⇶twenty-five years old
By and large, Nelida's way of thinking
reflects her maturity, as does the
manner in which she conducts herself.
There are certain instances and
aspects of her personality that
indicate a more youthful worldview,
but such a buoyant attitude is
predominantly associated with the
need to alleviate the accumulated
pressure of her demanding occupation.
Under pressing circumstances, Nelida
has no trouble getting her priorities
straight and adopting an adequately
professional approach.
(Depending on the roleplay, Nelida's
age may vary slightly.)
MENTAL AGE
⇶fifty-one years old
Nelida's mental age suggests that she
has gathered a wealth of knowledge
and experience throughout the years, a
wisdom whose significant amount can
be traced back to her mentally and
emotionally taxing line of work. Due to
her ability to maintain her composure
under burdensome circumstances, as
well as to retain her concentration, Nel
is often sought out by close ones for
both intellectual advice and emotional
. Her expertise enables her to
provide valuable insight, because of
which she is often viewed as a mentor
and an adept leader.
Nelida holds the impression she has
on other people in high regard. Leaving
a lasting and positive impact is equally
significant to her, hence why she would
like her legacy to reflect her dedication
to the development of the healthcare
system. She has a notable
understanding of life's complexities,
which contributes well to her ability
to approach challenges with a calm
and measured perspective. Her aim is
to find a balance between the necessary
amount of detachment and the
emotional that her patients
often expect from her, all the while
still keeping her own physiological
condition intact so that she may
remain sufficiently stable to tackle
whatever her career may throw her way.
PHYSICAL AGE
⇶twenty-three years old
Nelida takes great care of her physical
welfare. Her time-consuming career
may not allow her to exercise for
extended periods of time at a stretch,
but she makes sure to dedicate at least
forty-five minutes to physical activity
daily. For the most part, her workout
routine consists of her habitual morning
jogs, followed by strength training or
additional cardio at the hospital gym —
that is, if she so happens to find a few
free minutes.
Apart from exercise itself, Nelida
follows a healthy diet of white meats
and high doses of fibres, substituting
soft drinks with water. She only
consumes junk food occasionally and
is trying to cut down on alcoholic
beverages, despite having taken a
particularly unhealthy liking to them.
DATE OF BIRTH
⇶November 23rd
Nelida was born a healthy baby girl
just a week short of her pre-estimated
due date.
PLACE OF BIRTH
⇶Granada, Spain
Nelida was born approximately five
and a half hours' distance from her
hometown, Albarracín, in Vithas
private hospital.
ZODIAC SIGN
⇶Sagittarius
Sagittarians thrive on challenges of all
types, whether physical or cerebral,
and they invest their unlimited and
contagious energy into cognitive or
physical activities. Sagittarius natives
have dynamic natures. Sagittarians
are typically outspokenly optimistic
extroverts who elicit respect and
affection from everyone they come
into with. Sagittarius natives
are a loyal, smart, assertive, and
comionate personality. They are
one-of-a-kind, talented, and have
impeccable discernment. They are a
caring personality type because of
their blend of autonomy, intellect, and
empathy. One of the most prominent
characteristics of this sign is
independence. A Sagittarius values
independence and the ability to do
what they want, when they want, above
all else. They are adventurers,
risk-takers, and have a sharp business
and sports mentality. Sagittarius
natives are known for their emotional
intelligence, which helps them connect
with others.
They may also rebel against people in
positions of power, resulting in
workplace disputes. Furthermore, while
Sagittarius natives are outstanding
team players, their independent nature
might make it difficult for them to reach
a consensus. Sagittarius natives get
along well with a wide range of
individuals and are always prepared to
sympathise with their counterparts. As
a result, Sagittarius natives are excellent
conversationalists.
They have a real care for other people's
experiences and well-being, which
shows in their warm, generous
inclination to put others at ease. A
professional relationship is similar to a
personal relationship for them as it is
based on trust and open communication.
Sagittarius natives thrive in all of these
areas.
BIOLOGICAL GENDER
⇶female
Nelida was born a female, and has
never felt inclined to question this
label. Her clothing style, though not
necessarily the epitome of femininity,
reflects this comfort with her gender
identity. Depending on the weather
conditions and her current mood, Nel
may just opt for clothing items which
could be considered traditionally
feminine.
CHOSEN GENDER
⇶female
SEXUAL ORIENTATION
⇶bisexual
In of sexual orientation, Nelida
identifies as bi. From an early age, she
has found women to be equally
attractive as she did men, but only
when her sister came out as trans
did Nelida begin to seek a deeper
understanding of the various identities
and orientations. She was quick to
discover that she was on the LGBTQ+
spectrum herself, with a male lean but
bisexual nonetheless. Although Nel
doesn't voluntarily establish herself as
bisexual to people, she does come out
to them when doing so is relevant or
called for. She isn't ashamed of her
orientation, per se, but she does harbor
some mild reluctance to her
sexuality due to the fact that her
parents were relatively hesitant to
come to with her confession.
ROMANTIC ORIENTATION
⇶biromantic
Nelida's romantic orientation aligns
with her sexuality.
NATIONALITY
⇶American
On of her mother accepting a
once in a lifetime job opportunity, Nel
moved countries with her family at the
age of 13, therefore commencing, as
well as graduating secondary school in
the USA while simultaneously refining
her English competency. Nelida has,
eventually, acquired her citizenship five
years following her relocation to the US.
Despite having moved to Hanover, New
Hampshire less than a decade ago, Nel
returned to her home country for the
duration of her higher education at the
University of Barcelona. After receiving
her medical degree, she returned to the
States to commence her residency in
New York, where she moved in with her
boyfriend.
LANGUAGES SPOKEN
⇶English | Spanish | limited Italian |
Latin medical terminology
Born and raised in Spain, Nelida
acquired Spanish gradually as her
speech skills developed, hence
considering the language her native
one.
Nel has been exposed to the English
language from a young age courtesy
of its mandatory part in her primary
school's curriculum in Spain. After
moving countries, she picked up the
language at an elevated speed due to
the daily exposure in her environment.
Throughout high school, Nelida was
obligated to take a course in a second
foreign language of her choice — in
consideration of her long-term pursuit
of medical school, she decided upon
taking up Italian, so as to further
prepare herself for the extensive Latin
terminology that she would be required
to memorize. Given her preliminary
fluency in Spanish, she didn't struggle
nearly as much with Italian as she did
with honing her English skills.
OCCUPATION
⇶cardiothoracic surgeon
Nelida has always been fascinated by
the human anatomy, even more so by
the structure and function of the heart
in particular. Although her incentive to
pursue a medical profession may not
have been a devastating personal
experience — fortunately so —,
throughout her studies, she has been
equally steadfast in her aspiration to
become a doctor as any other pre-med
student. Given both Nelida's inherent
predisposition to helping other people
and her STEM-inclined orientation, her
career-relevant plans have been quite
consistent from a young age. Having
always found the practical aspect of
matters considerably more rewarding
than the theory, Nelida found her niche
in surgery. Not only did the profession
allow her to specialize as per her
interest in cardiology, but it also
presented an opportunity to apply her
knowledge and skills in a more hands-
on approach. The direct responsibility
of someone's life and the sense of
accomplishment after a successful
procedure rendered her years of
consistent learning more worthwhile
and gratifying than she could imagine
achieving in any other field of work.

SKIN TONE
⇶honey beige
Given the natural tan of Nelida's skin,
she was born fortunate enough to not
be nearly as susceptible to suffering
sunburns as many other people in
comparison may be. Though she has
never struggled with any major skin
conditions, she was prone to breaking
out in acne during her teens, which
was only further aggravated by her
naturally oily skin.
EYES
⇶chestnut
Nelida inherited characteristics — both
appearance and personality-wise —
from her parents to about an equal
measure, and in regards to her eyes,
the same case can be observed. While
her eye shape resembles her mother's
to a greater degree, their color reflects
more so that of her father's.
HAIR
⇶cool dark brown
Similarly to the condition of her skin,
Nel has struggled with greasy hair her
entire life, needing to wash it
approximately every three days so as
to maintain its appropriate texture.
BODY BUILD
⇶hourglass | fairly fit
Nelida grew accustomed to recurrent
physical exercise in order to sustain an
appropriate weight and muscle mass,
not only to retain her position, but also
to perform adequately on her high
school swim team in hopes of
increasing her chances of acceptance
into higher education institutions. Nel
didn't particularly enjoy competitive
swimming, but did have a liking for the
sport disclipline, as well as an overall
affinity for exercise that carried over to
adulthood as well. Even though she no
longer puts her swimming skills to use
as frequently as she used to due to her
jam-packed schedule, Nelida makes
sure to keep fit by resorting to running
and working out at the hospital gym.
HEIGHT
⇶175 cm | 5'8"
In of height, Nelida is considered
to be above average by a few inches/
centimeters, both in comparison to
American and Spanish women.
WEIGHT
⇶62 kg | 136lbs
Due to regular workout, Nelida's body
mass index falls under the healthy
category. By and large, her weight
consists of more muscle than body
fat, which Nel intends to keep as is.
CLOTHING STYLE
⇶indie | business casual
Like most people, Nelida prefers to mix
and match various clothing styles, as
opposed to exclusively sticking to one.
Overall, her sense of fashion could be
best categorized as indie, but Nel never
quite deemed it necessary to classify it.
Though she puts a significant amount
of effort into the way she presents
herself, she acknowledges that her
personal choice of fashion may not
necessarily come across as dependable
to those seeking a healthcare
professional's reassurance, primarily
due to its predisposition to be labeled
as nonconformist. In consideration of
her patients' sense of security, Nelida
has assembled a wardrobe consisting
of clothing items best defined as
business casual, which she chooses
from to wear underneath her white coat
during her shifts.

Nelida had her first tattoo done on a
whim by her dormmate in medical
school, who wasn't a professional
artist, by any means, hence the reason
behind the small design on her wrist
aging rather poorly. Though she could
have had the tattoo touched up later,
she decided against a fix in order to
preserve its originality.
Nelida once again turned to body art
so as to commemorate the first time
she had been called upon to scrub in
on, and assist with a procedure in the
operating room — hence the scalpel on
her right upper arm, reflecting the
milestone.
Nelida's third, foreseeably final, as well
as evidently most complicated tattoo is
on her chest, depicting an anatomically
accurate human heart. She had been
contemplating going for this design for
the longest time before ultimately
concluding that she likely wouldn't come
to regret the decision after having given
the idea years of thought. Perhaps part
of the reason that she is still in love with
the tattoo, to this day, is the expertise of
her artist, who had a flair for completing
complex designs with incredible results.

Nelida has assembled the current
setup of her piercings gradually
throughout the years, but has
eventually grown annoyed with, and
ultimately, out of her nose piercings,
therefore abandoning them.
SCARS
⇶fingers | right ankle
Though it's not a particularly frequent
occurrence, surgeons are more prone
to inadvertently cutting themselves
than people may realize. Nelida has
had her fair share of minor fumbles
over the years spent working in her
position, and even though most of the
cuts healed up without any permanent
scarring, a few of them left subtle
marks.
Nelida suffered a cycling accident
learning how to ride a bike when she
was just six. The incident left her with
a sprained ankle that required surgical
intervention because of a lateral ankle
ligament rupture, which needed repair.
DISTINGUISHING MARKS
⇶a few moles on her cheeks
MAKEUP
⇶varies
To avoid weirding out both her patients
and colleagues, Nelida settles for a
moderate amount of makeup during
her working hours. Because she prefers
a relatively flamboyant look, however,
she likes to go all out in her free time.

PERSONALITY TYPE
❝ People with this personality type
feel called to serve a greater purpose
in life. They are thoughtful and
idealistic, and strive to have a positive
impact on other people, as well as the
world around them. ENFJ personalities
rarely shy away from an opportunity to
do the right thing, even when doing so
is far from easy.
ENFJs are born leaders. Their ion
and charisma allow them to inspire
others not just in their careers, but in
every aspect of their lives. Few things
bring people with the ENFJ personality
type a deeper sense of joy and
fulfillment than guiding people to grow
into their best selves.
ENFJ personalities are genuine, caring
people who talk the talk and walk the
walk. Nothing makes them happier than
motivating others to do what’s right.
When they care about someone, they
want to help solve that person’s
problems – sometimes at any cost.
However, getting involved in others
issues isn’t always a recipe for success.
They tend to have a clear vision of what
people can or should do in order to
improve themselves, but not everyone is
ready to make those changes. While this
personality type is known for being
insightful, even the wisest of them may,
at times, misread a situation or
unwittingly give bad advice.
These individuals possess the unique
ability to remain hopeful in the face of
difficulties, always ing that
there is something to be grateful for.
They tend to be vocal about their values,
that including authenticity and altruism.
When something strikes them as unjust
or wrong, they speak up. But they rarely
come across as brash or pushy, as their
sensitivity and insight guide them to
speak in ways that resonate with others.
These personalities possess an innate
sense of justice and an unwavering
commitment to standing up against
what they perceive as wrong. Their
secret weapon is their purity of intent.
Generally speaking, they are motivated
by a sincere wish to do the right thing
rather than a desire to manipulate or
have power over other people. Even
when they disagree with someone, they
search for common ground. The result
is that people with this personality type
can communicate with an eloquence
and sensitivity that are nearly
impossible to ignore — particularly
when they speak about matters that
are close to their hearts.
People with this personality type are
devoted to standing up for the people
and ideas that they believe in. This
strength of conviction bolsters an
ENFJ’s ability to guide others to work
together in service of the greater good.
Still, their greatest gift might actually
be leading by example. In their
day-to-day lives, ENFJs reveal how
seemingly ordinary situations can be
handled with comion, dedication,
and care. For these personalities, even
the smallest daily choices and actions
can become an opportunity to lead the
way to a brighter future. ❞

HOBBIES
⇶guitar
Though Nelida isn't an artistic person
by nature, she does enjoy plucking her
guitar as a means of relaxation, even
if she hardly ever finds the time to do
so next to her time-consuming career.
⇶candle making
Nelida has taken a particular liking to
scented candles, but found that they
typically leave behind a significant
amount of residual wax after burning
down. So as to salvage the remaining
portions, she learnt how to recycle
these chunks into new candles.
⇶nail art
While guidelines often advise
healthcare providers to keep their nails
free of artificial enhancements in order
to lower the likelihood of infection and
transmission, the hospital protocol of
Nelida's workplace permits nail polish
and acrylics, so long as they are kept
short and do not interfere with the
physicians' nitrile glove usage. When
Nelida has a sufficient amount of time,
she likes to do her nails herself; not
only is it considerably cheaper long-
term, but she also finds the process
therapeutic, and it allows her to
accurately customize the designs as
per her own concept.
⇶exercise
Not only does regular physical exercise
improve and maintain one's overall
welfare, it also helps relieve stress, as
well as establish a healthy daily routine.
In Nelida's line of work, it is advisable
to find methods to alleviate the
accumulating tension, otherwise the
continuous mental strain could become
detrimental to both her emotional and
physical wellbeing.
⇶mixology
While in medical school, Nelida
bartended part-time for a few months
during summer break, leaving her
equipped with a wide knowledge of
different beverages and their recipes,
as well as decent mixology skills.
INTERESTS
⇶biology
Nelida's fascination with biology, while
being the original motive behind her
pursuit of a medical career, extends
beyond her professional obligations.
Because her surgical training provides
her with a deep understanding of
the human anatomy and physiology,
she finds her research sessions all the
more intriguing while delving into
broader biological fields in her free time.
⇶volunteering & charity work
Nelida believes that medicine should
extend beyond hospital walls, even if
people's generosity doesn't typically
last once they aren't able to benefit
from a case financially — which is why
she hopes to dedicate a fair share of
time to volunteering whenever possible.
Nelida finds fulfilment in leaving a
positive impact on the community with
her kindness, whether that may be
assisting in free clinics, participating in
medical outreach programs, or
contributing to fundraising events for
underprivileged patients. Charity work
helps her reinforce her commitment to
the humanitarian aspect of medicine,
which serves as a reminder of the
deeper purpose behind her profession.
⇶research
Nelida recognizes research as the
driving force behind medical
advancements. She is especially
drawn to studies on innovative cardiac
procedures, and her findings often
come to her advantage while in need
of developing a viable surgical plan for
particularly problematic cases, as
such experimentative methods help
her think outside of the box.
⇶philosophy
Though Nelida prefers taking action to
theoretical subjects, she does find an
intellectually stimulating discussion
to her liking. Given the demanding
nature of her job, Nelida often ends up
contemplating ethical dilemmas. Due
to the fact that she is rather prone to
overthinking matters in general, her
tendency to take a philosophical
approach typically doesn't come to her
advantage while attempting to resolve
a complex ethical conundrum.
⇶ballet
Having taken ballet lessons in her
teenage years, Nelida retains a sense
of respect and iration for the art
form that demands so much discipline
and dedication — the primary reason
behind why she quit. Since balancing
education and extracurricular activities
proved detrimental to her academic
performance, she chose to prioritize
her plans of going to med school. To
this day, Nelida still enjoys watching a
ballet recital from the audience.
⇶ice skating
Ice skating represents Nelida’s favorite
blend of athleticism and artistry. She is
fond of the freedom she experiences
gliding across the rink, and finds that it
isn't only a pleasant form of exercise,
but potentially also a fun pastime
activity to engage in with others.
⇶bonsai
Tending to bonsai trees appeals to
Nelida’s fastidious nature. Pruning,
wiring and shaping these miniature
trees resemble her responsibilities in
the OR, helping her practice patience
and precision, which are skills that she
finds remarkably transferable to surgery.
ASSETS
⇶dexterity
Nelida’s fine motor skills are among
her most prized assets. Though she
has always had a steady hand, her
dexterity was, and continues to be
honed through countless hours of
surgical training and practice.
⇶composure
Balancing a strong-willed personality
with the need for professional calm is
a challenging requirement to adhere to
in Nelida's line of work, but she has
learned how to transform her emotions
so that they boost her concentration
when a poised approach could mean
the difference between whether a
patient lives or dies.
⇶concentration
Both Nelida’s analytical mind and
perfectionist tendencies help her
maintain unfaltering concentration in
the OR. She finds that over the years, it
has become surprisingly easy to tune
out distractions when she is fully
immersed in a procedure, save for the
scarce few occasions when her OCD
just so happens to interfere with her
work ethic.
⇶teamwork
Despite her competitive streak, Nelida
has always preferred combined effort
to individual work. She respects the
expertise of other healthcare providers
and values collaboration. Nelida relies
on her resourceful nature and desire to
help people in order to establish a
ive atmosphere, even more so
when tensions run high. On occasion,
her rebellious side can spark friction
due to her dedication to find and have
the most convenient treatment plan
approved, even if it may not adhere to
the pre-established medical code of
conduct directly. Nevertheless, at the
end of the day, she stands by her
opinion that teamwork allows for a
better outcome, regardless of the topic
at hand, considering the diverse array
of available input.
⇶critical thinking
Nelida’s inquisitive spirit and inventive
mindset make her adept at diagnosing
medical conditions quickly, as well as
devising innovative solutions, should
one be necessary. Her analytical nature
and extensive medical knowledge both
contribute to her ability to thrive in
situations that demand a quick and
strategic approach, though her
rebellious streak sometimes leads her
to challenge conventional methods if
Nelida believes that either a more
effective treatment exists, or that one
can be developed. While this makes
her an asset in innovation-driven
environments, it can also create
friction with more traditional
colleagues.
⇶social awareness
Nelida's line of work centres around
encountering patients from diverse
backgrounds, which requires her to
interact with them without involving
any prejudice towards them at all. As
an inherently open-minded individual,
Nelida has never found practicing
social sensitivity challenging due to
her accepting nature, but if anything,
her job has refined her ability to look
out for her patients' emotional welfare
as much as she does for their physical
wellbeing when delivering diagnoses.
⇶time management
Balancing a time-consuming surgical
residency with personal interests and
hobbies requires excellent time
management skills, something that
Nelida had no other option but to
develop and improve over the years, if
she didn't want to risk the career that
she has invested a decade's worth of
effort in to consume her.

FEARS
⇶operating on loved ones
Medicine, for all its precision, can
never completely eliminate the risk of
fatality, a hard truth that Nelida has
come to accept and acknowledge over
her practicing years. It is because of
this reason that the prospect of
performing surgery on somebody dear
to her heart terrifies her, perhaps more
than any other of her fears. Though an
empathetic person by nature, Nelida
must conduct herself with a certain
amount of detachment in the OR for
her to be able to remain poised, as
well as to be capable of making the
objectively most convenient decisions
for her patients' benefit. With a loved
one under her knife, Nelida suspects
that she couldn't manage disregarding
her personal ties, which would likely
alter her approach and influence her
choices, potentially to the detriment of
the end results. She could never
assume responsibility for a loved one,
in light of the inherent risks of surgery.
Whether potential complications were
to arise due to a fault of her own or
a reason outside of her control, Nelida
could never live with the knowledge of
having been unable to save somebody
whom she was closely connected with.
⇶losing a patient
Although Nelida has learnt that loss is
inevitable in her line of work — more
often than she'd prefer —, the thought
of failing a patient is one that she will
never quite be able to get acclimatized
to. Losing someone whom she had
taken responsibility for reminds her of
her limited capabilities, which she
typically converts into the driving force
behind her motivation to work all that
harder, and to seek innovative solutions
in hopes of salvaging more lives in the
future.
⇶loss of control
As somebody with an inborn
predisposition to approaching matters
from a studious perspective, Nelida
has swiftly grown accustomed to the
order and precision imperative to be
established and upheld in the OR. In
contrast, Nelida fears the
unpredictability that is associated with
losing control over her decisions and
actions, whether during a surgical
crisis or in a more personal setting.
Unlike what many would justify it with,
this fear isn’t just about the
unexpected, but more so about the
vulnerability that arises upon no longer
being able to guarantee the outcome
of her efforts.
⇶growing old
The aging process itself unsettles Nel.
Not so much the prospect of a long
life, but the gradual loss of both the
physical and mental agility she relies
and prides herself on so heavily.
⇶having no purpose
Nelida thrives on ambition and drive,
therefore the thought of losing the
interests that she once depended on
and found herself immersed in alarms
her. With her entire life structured
around pushing forward and never
settling for where she currently is at,
the idea that she might one day reach
a point where she no longer feels
useful, whether due to career burnout,
personal struggles, or unforeseen
circumstances, is a concept she hates
to entertain. Nelida fears stagnation
more than she does failure, hence why
she strives to always feel that she is
working towards something greater.
⇶infidelity
Loyalty is one of Nelida’s most
prominent values, and the idea of
betrayal is one that she has always
feared, and always will, regardless of
how strong her relationships may
prove to be. Having been gifted with a
deep sense of empathy is a virtue on
its own, an attribute that Nelida has
profited from immensely in the past,
but such a tendency also renders her
keenly aware of the devastation
that suffering infidelity is ought to
cause. Her analytical mindset inclines
Nel to scrutinize every potential risk,
even when they might not even be
present, and are only in her head.
Though she isn’t inherently distrustful,
Nelida is prone to be cautious and
even a little intense in relationships, as
she seeks reassurance that her
emotional investment won’t be
misplaced and taken advantage of.
⇶losing her heritage & cultural identity
Being of Spanish descent and having
moved to the USA during her
adolescence, Nelida holds her cultural
roots close, lest they dissipate the
longer she spends outside of the
environment in which they are honed.
In a world that often pushes
assimilation, Nelida worries that her
heritage might be diluted or neglected,
unless she remains proactive about
upholding her ethnic traditions. She
does so by adhering to small rituals,
such as speaking Spanish at home,
preparing traditional dishes, and
celebrating Spanish holidays, even if
she may not be in her home country to
partake in the festivities
⇶letting others down
Nelida holds herself to high personal
standards; consequently, the concept
of disappointing those who rely on her
in their vulnerability is a consistent
concern that she entertains. The fear
of letting others down isn’t just about
the personal sense of failure, more so
about breaking the trust, as well as the
expectations that people place in her.

PHYSICAL HEALTH
⇶above average
In Nelida's field of work, it is inevitable
that stress will accumulate over time,
to the point where it becomes
particularly detrimental to her overall
welfare. In order to relieve the tension
and establish a healthier lifestyle at
the same time, Nelida turned to
physical exercise in the form of not
only frequenting the gym, but also
going for a run every morning, and
taking dance classes in her free time.
Nelida also makes sure to follow a
healthy diet of white meats, lots of
fibres and minimal amounts of
carbohydrates. She also prefers to
substitute fizzy drinks with water.
MENTAL HEALTH
⇶average
So as to avoid potentially
compromising her patients' welfare,
Nelida must maintain a balanced
mindset amid the everyday pressures
of her demanding career. Though the
high-pressure work environment brings
about moments of burnout and
self-doubt, Nelida has learnt how to
manage these challenges effectively, to
which her ive network and
disciplined nature contribute
significantly.
EMOTIONAL STABILITY
⇶stable
Because Nelida's career demands that
she retain her composure while
istering care and operating under
immense pressure, she has learnt how
to suppress her anxiety and cope with
stress while put on the spot.
HEALTH CONDITIONS
⇶arterial hypertension
Hypertension, more commonly known
as high blood pressure, is a long-term
medical condition in which the blood
pressure in the arteries is persistently
elevated. While it usually does not
produce symptoms in and of itself, it is,
however, a major risk factor for serious
health complications such as stroke,
coronary artery disease, as well as heart
failure — to name just a few. As a
certified cardiologist, Nelida is more
than familiar with the various potential
consequent complications; because her
condition is congenital and not caused
by another underlying health issue, she
is able to regulate her blood pressure
simply by consistently taking the
prescription-only medication Amlodipine.
⇶PTSD
PTSD is a psychiatric disorder that may
occur in people who have experienced
or witnessed traumatic events or a set
of circumstances. Symptoms can
include flashbacks, nightmares and
severe anxiety, as well as uncontrollable
thoughts about the traumatic events.
Nelida developed the disorder as a
result of the recurrent exposure to
distressing and often tragic events at
her workplace, both in and out of the
operating room — but primarily inside.
Despite the fact that Nel must remain
composed and focused in order to be
capable of istering care to her
patients with the appropriate heed,
there is only so much loss that she can
digest beneath the poised exterior
before the blood on her hands begins
to take its toll on her emotionally.
⇶OCD
Obsessive–compulsive disorder is a
mental and behavioral disorder in
which an individual has intrusive
thoughts and feels the need to perform
certain routines repeatedly to relieve
the distress caused by the obsession,
at times to the extent where it impairs
general function. In Nelida's case, her
ticks manifest in the fear of
contamination — which is only further
aggravated by her profession and its
strict sterilization process —, requiring
items to be ordered appropriately, an
inclination to keep things even and
balanced, such as patterns, shoes and
objects on shelves, as well as the urge
to repeat certain movements, thoughts
and sounds until the stress-inducing
impulse dissipates. Fortunately for Nel,
her ticks — while certainly bothersome
— do not disrupt her working hours, at
least not considerably enough to render
her inadequate for her profession.
ALLERGIES
⇶celery
ittedly, the likelihood of Nelida
consuming celery is negligible to none,
seeing as she absolutely despises the
vegetable; from its bitter odor to its
flavour, she can't stand any aspect of
it. But if she were to accidentally eat it,
she would be left with swollen cheeks,
allergic urticaria and some stomach
issues — thus far, her most severe
symptom was mild shortness of breath,
which, though landed her in the hospital
for preventive measures, resolved within
an hour.
ADDICTIONS
⇶alcohol (mildly)
While Nelida’s drinking habits do not
interfere with her work or daily
responsibilities, alcohol has become,
for lack of a better word, a type of
crutch in her life. After particularly
stressful shufts or emotionally charged
experiences, she often gravitates
toward bars or a bottle of alcoholic
beverage, resorting to it as a means of
swift relaxation. Nelida doesn’t consider
her inclination as a problem — at least
not yet —, however she does hate to
entertain the thought that her reliance
on alcohol to decompress could
eventually escalate past being just a
habit. For now, it is but a controlled
indulgence, one that she justifies as a
small escape from the unpleasantries
of her everydays.
MEDICATIONS
⇶Amlodipine | Paroxetine
⇶Amlodipine
The calcium channel blocker, which
Nel had been prescribed for her high
blood pressure, is used to treat a large
variety of cardiovascular diseases.
⇶Paroxetine
Though Nelida has an active
prescription for Paroxetine to modulate
both her PTSD and OCD with, she only
ever takes the medication when either
one of her conditions experiences an
upswing. Since it has been proven to
result in withdrawal symptoms upon
consistent consumption, Nelida wishes
to reduce the likelihood of ending up
dependent on the medication herself.
PREVIOUS ILLNESSES, INJURIES
⇶broken vertebrae | broken right ankle
Nelida suffered a reasonably major
motorcycle accident when she was 19,
but, for better or for worse, was let off
with only three broken ribs, which was
a comparably fortunate outcome,
considering that she was hit by a car
at a high speed.
Additionally, Nelida also required a few
months to recover from a broken ankle
that, similarly to her other accident, she
had attained by attempting to tackle a
tricky curve in the road without braking
sufficiently.

CURRENT LOCATION
⇶New York City, New York, United States
After having acquired her medical
degree in Spain, Nelida returned to the
United States so as to commence her
residency at New York Holistic Care
Private Hospital. Courtesy of her
boyfriend's recommendation — who
has been employed at the institution
for a few years by then —, Nelida has
been offered a position at one of the
country's top surgical centers, a once
in a lifetime opportunity that she
accepted without any further ado at all.
The decision indicated that Nelida would
be required to settle down within
reasonable vicinity of her workplace,
which prompted her to, at long last,
take the leap and move in with her
boyfriend in Hudson Yards.
QUALITY OF LIVING
⇶opulent
Residing in a state-of-the-art penthouse
alongside her boyfriend, Nelida is one of
the few privileged enough to enjoy the
perks of luxurious household amenities
and the atmosphere of the city views.
Because her contribution to the
penthouse’s upkeep is minimal as a
result of the vast disparity between her
earnings and the resources available
through her boyfriend’s family, Nelida
often feels undeserving of such
opulence, as her comparatively modest
income leaves her leaning on her
partner's financial , which
covered the costs of the residence
to begin with.
RELATIONSHIP STATUS
⇶taken
Nelida has been in a committed
relationship with her boyfriend for seven
consecutive years, having begun dating
during her pre-med education. At that
time, her partner has already been
attending medical school, noted for
having skipped several grades, as well
as having been fast-tracked previously
due to his exceptional intelligence and
giftedness. Their partnership is
characterized by devotion as much as it
is by relatively frequent disagreements.
Nelida’s pursuit of balancing quality
time with her loved ones alongside a
time-consuming career often contradicts
her boyfriend’s tendency to prioritize
work, which he often struggles to
empathize with, due to his challenges
with emotional intelligence, a
characteristic of his individual case
of neurodivergence.
FAMILY STATUS
Nelida envisions starting a family
someday, though she acknowledges
that the near future may not be the
ideal time for it. Her demanding career
in surgery leaves little room for the
additional responsibilities that
parenthood entails. Moreover, she
harbors a concern that her boyfriend’s
struggles with emotional intelligence
could present challenges in nurturing
and raising a child — a worry
compounded by his career achievements
enjoying priority. Although Nel would
never it it openly, the lack of
expressed interest on her boyfriend's
part regarding building a family further
reinforces her belief that their current
life stage and priorities may not yet be
aligned for parenthood.

Nelida was born into a relatively
expansive Spanish family as the second
of four children. Her remote hometown
encomed as few as just two
thousand residents, and her family,
while not struggling to get by, used to
be in a rather inconvenient place
financially due to the lack of well-paying
work opportunities around the area,
which taught Nelida the importance of
both independence and hard work.
Nelida's love for biology commenced
with simple intrigue about the small
creatures she would come across in her
garden, and her nurturing tendencies
manifested early on, as she would often
"treat" her stuffed animals for imaginary
ailments.
At the age of 13, Nelida’s life took a
significant turn when her family
relocated to the United States due to her
mother’s work opportunity. This
transition — while accompanied by the
vast potential to establish a higher life
quality — came with its own set of
challenges. Although Nelida was rather
quick to integrate into the diverse
cultural environment, she struggled to
acclimatize herself with the fast-paced
lifestyle, particularly due to the language
barrier that she found significantly more
troublesome to overcome than she
would have preferred, primarily because
of her scientific orientation, and
comparably poor language skills. During
these adolescent years did Nelida's keen
interest in the sciences behind to
develop further, and by extension, in
medicine specifically as well. Nelida's
commitment to her ion was
nurtured through both her own
academic pursuits and the of
her close-knit family.

MOTHER
⇶Belen Valeria Melendrez
• alive • chef • ive relationship •
Appearance-wise, Nelida takes more
after her mother than she does after
her father. Her skin tone and hair —
both in of texture and shade —
resemble that of her mom's, though
similarities in regards to personality
can also be detected, particularly
when it comes to flamboyance and
whimsicality. Nelida's comionate
approach towards people in general is
also much more akin to Belen's nature.
FATHER
⇶Joaquín Hugo Melendrez
• alive • forensic science technician •
close relationship •
Though physical similarities can be
discovered, Nelida takes after her father
primarily in of her scientific
orientation. Additionally, while she isn't
an emotionally detached person by
nature, Nelida attributes her ability to
establish a poised approach during
surgeries to her father's cerebral
mindset.
OLDER SISTER
⇶Ivette Davis-Melendrez
• alive • actress • very close relationship •
married to Nathan Davis •
Ivette is Nelida's older sister by four
years. With Nelida's scientific
orientation and Ivette's gravitation
towards the arts, they don't have many
interests in common, but do still get
along, perhaps surprisingly well,
primarily because Nelida was the first
person to express her for her
sister's identity when she came out as
transgender.
YOUNGER BROTHER
⇶Carmelo Alvaro Melendrez
• alive • law school student •
close relationship •
Nelida has always been close with her
brother, though, similarly to Ivette, the
two of them don't have much in
common — apart from their extensive
academic pursuits. Seeing as Nelida is
an extroverted person by nature who
seeks out opportunities to socialize
instead of spending her free time by
herself, her preferences activity and
mindset-wise largely differ from that of
her brother's, what with his inclination
to enjoy the peace and quiet.
YOUNGER SISTER
⇶Julia Carolina Melendrez
• alive • high school student •
close relationship •
Julia has struggled significantly with
self-esteem complications in the past,
which she had managed to overcome
predominantly due to Nelida's
and incentive to accept and seek
professional assistance. With Julia's
interests heavily gravitating towards
the arts, similarly to Ivette, prior to
Nelida's pursuit of helping her sister,
they didn't have much to bond over
either. Julia has only begun to open
up towards Nelida after experiencing
her devotion to her welfare firsthand.
PARTNER
⇶Niall Mendoza
• alive • cardiothoracic surgeon •

A cardiothoracic surgeon at New York
Holistic Care hospital himself, Niall
and Nelida have been coworkers since
the beginning of the latter's residency
at the institution. Courtesy of Niall's
initiative, Nelida has been offered a
position in the program, and with their
specialties aligning, received the
opportunity to work together with her
significant other, alas much to their
supervisor's initial skepticism.
However, the couple have proven
themselves to be capable of
maintaining professionalism in their
workplace environment, regardless of
the fact that they often find themselves
at a dispute with the other, more than
anything because of their conflicting
priorities. With Niall's intelligence
quotient far suring the margin
defining giftedness, he had been
evaluated many times before in
surveillance of his atypical cerebral
function. The vast majority of the
analyses determined that while Niall
possessed an exceptional proficiency
in divulging unconventional solutions
for matters that would be likely deemed
impossible by neurotypical people, this
logical and scientific excellence did his
emotional intelligence a disservice —
an area in which he lacks more than the
average individual, hence the frequent
and unresolved disagreements between
him and Nelida.

❝ As a doctor, let me tell you what self-
love does; it improves your hearing,
your eyesight, lowers your blood
pressure, increases pulmonary function,
cardiac output and helps wire the
musculature. So, if we had a rampant
epidemic of self-love, then our healthcare
costs would go down dramatically. So,
this isn't just some little frou-frou new
age notion. Love yourself. This is
hardcore science. ❞

what is the sorcery behind how you have a background yet still have color?!
also beautifully made oc🩷
Reply to: ⋆𝗁𝖾𝗅𝖺𝗇𝖺⋆
Ahh well, it wasn't particularly easy to put the background together, but basically:
I firstly gather some pictures that I'd like to be included in the background. Then I use an image editor app (I prefer PicsArt) to select the respective color, which I crop and resize to fit the shape of the Wiki background. Afterwards, I add the chosen images, whose sizes I also adjust as per my concept. Then I move some of them to each side of the base, so that a stripe of color remains in the middle.
Sometimes I mess up the proportions and have to redo the entire project. 🥲 Anyway, I really appreciate the kind words, and am really glad that you liked my OC! :two_hearts:

Reply to: ⋆𝗁𝖾𝗅𝖺𝗇𝖺⋆
Thank you so much, I genuinely really appreciate your approval! The entire Wiki did take super long to complete, so I'm very very glad to hear that people actually find it well-put together! <3
Congrats Nel! She’s super well done. I’ll add her to the wiki now ^^
Thank you!! I was sweating blood trying to get her Wiki done today because she's been sitting in my drafts for WAY too long (like since 2024 are you kidding). :sob:
