Miss Vanilla enjoys touching her face and playing with her hair a lot. From this I concluded that she is either very insecure or extremely self obsessed.

Vanilla gives of a very unfriendly vibe, she tends to have only one expression (until someone around her talks to her briefly and she proceeds to plaster a very fake smile on her face) bad posture, her hands are crossed in the hallways and says no more than 3 sentences a class (on a good day). I cannot stress enough the amount of times this girl touches her hair, I actually started to
