Who is Jezabell Barbosa?

Sometimes, you just want to know…

There have been so many changes to my life in the past few months that I wondered if others saw me differently, did others see me the same, well shit dayum what the hell did other people think about me. I decided to do a little exploration, a little exploration of self. I prepared a memo that I passed to a few friends of mine who were awake at the time I decided to conduct this investigation. Only one question was asked “Who is Jezabell Barbosa”, no further instructions given, only one requirement asked of the participants-to use their name on this blog. Sound simple? I thought so. I ignored all questions regarding this inquiry. I have no time limit; I allowed for no revisions, I did not edit responses. Responses have been listed in the order that they were received.


So, who is Jezabell Barbosa?
According to:
Amythest Morigi
“Jezabell is magic. She's not a cheap magician's stunt, she's real magic. she effortlessly pulls off one feat over and over, she keepsamazing and entertaining me. It's not her job, but no one does it better. I've known Jez since I first popped up in SL. She's my first and only girl crush. She has a sense of humor that tickles me with it's range. I never know what she will do next--but I always need to see. That's who Jezabell Barbosa is: The person who makes it seem like an actual second life-- a more fun one.”

“Who is Jezabell Barbosa? Jezabell Barbosa happens to be my best friend in SL. She is the coolest person I have ever met in here. She's unique and isn't like anyone else, she is Jezabell. I couldnt ask for a better friend. She's sexy, hawt, she's funny, she's crazy at times but there is never a dull moment when she is around and she rocks. If I wasn't married, I'd marry her LOL.I know if I ask her for anything, she will be there just like I am for her. Anything you want Jez, you got it.”

“Jezabell is my love. I don't know that i could say all that she is or what she means to me. More than anything i can think of right now, this question has made me wish i was a poet. Because i want to paint something so beautiful with words about how i see jezabell Barbosa that she would know not only how wonderful she is, but how very sincerely i feel for her.”

“OOC'ly...she is...
A very dear friend who has a wonderful lack of walls, masks and other such defense-mechnism style guards up...
A razor sharp sense of humour and a fantastic taste in music (which makes her just about the only SL DJ I will listen to.)
She's also one of those rare rp'ers that doesn't try to make their character nigh-perfect and/or god-like.
IC on Tox she is....
A lycan chica that basically non-stop lies to me whenever I interact with her on Tox and has almost a total inability to completely hide her intentions, whether doing so would greatly increase her chances of success in her current endeavor, or not.”

Corwyn Sweetwater
“((I know Jez in one context only... In character, in a sim world called Toxia. While the characters we play in recreation time are not US 100%... they are pieces of us, both who we are, and who we wish to be. This isn't as detailed in some ways as real life knowledge... but roleplay is, according to some, a window into who we truely are. Dreams speak about us.))
The first time I saw Jez, she was with her man. Dancing. Nice clothes... if you like em ripped.I do.Matter of fact, I don't think I have EVER seen her and Merc apart for more than 10 minutes at a time. Now, in my experience that's something.
But who is she?
Dedicated, and loyal. Ain't a Lycan for nothin, ya know? Call ya her friend, she'll mean it. Cross her... well, I've seen that too.
Her family is important. Sicko's the lot of em. Like em, myself. May not like all their friends... but them? Yeah. Of course, rough, not just round the edges, but all over. Seems more honest that way, I think.
Party girl, always ready for a fight. Her and Merc, their appartment ain't far from where I hang my hat. Solid brick... but sometimes the walls shake.
Who is she?
Damn, if you have to ask, ya ain't met her. Cause I wouldn't have to remind you... you'd already know.”

“Jezabell Barbosa is a sexy rad chick who laughs and farts at the same time. I want her body even when she RPs my sister. :>”

“She is a dream for me, I met her years ago when we were all sisters 'in a group' I fantazied about her, I even told my best friend 'Adrianah' that I wanted to be in Jezzys arms but I was too afraid of rejection, I could never emote at her level so that was that. I still say hi once in awhile and am always happy to talk to her. I miss you always my dream Jezzy.
Always... Lala”

Interesting responses. Curiously, I did not expect some of these responses. Do they give me an insight to who I am? Yes, in a way they do. Moreover, this little inquiry gives me more insight on what I present as myself. Is there congruency between who I really am and the 'me' I present to the world at large? As always any exploration only bring more questions. How do I appear to others and does their judgment of me, alter me?
