Picture? Pending.
Age: 19
Height: 5"5
Weight: 155
Bio: Originating from humble beginnings, Jesalindajah came from the town of Bacnotan, La Union, Ylokandia.Her dad, Pacifico a rice farmer and her mom, Shaceela a Carabao breeder found out that their youngest child was destined for great things when the family spotted a birthmark that resembled the national animal, the naturud on the bottom of her right foot. Over the years, she excelled in everything and was exceptionally bright.By the age of 5, she finished her doctoral degree in Business Administration and a minor in Ilokano Studies/Culture. By the age of 12, she was recognized nationally for being the nation's youngest multi-billionaire due to establishing the first national food conglomerate, AyNagimas!Despite the early success and fortune, she remained humble and instead of buying the name-brand clothes, she prefers the clothes she buys with her allowance given by her parents.Peculiar but quaint in her ways, everybody loved her. All the boys & girls/men & women in her home province would look up to her as a younger/older sister and was treated like family all over La Union. No one offered to be her boyfriend(or girlfriend for that matter) because they could only see her as a friend and a sibling. That did not mean she was plain, what was on the inside also reflected her physical appearance. A reubenesque,golden brown buxom young lady who was generally indifferent about her looks most of the time was the object of desire by both the male and female population outside her home province. During her first term as ambassador of Ylokandia (as appointed by the people)she was sent to a neighboring nation which was at the time losing in a war with Ylokandia and wanted to start negotiations of ending the war and signing a peace treaty. The treaty almost didn't go through when an opposing faction from that nation sent a contingent to kidnap and rape brutally the then 17 year old Jesalindajah for even showing up due to the fact they felt insulted when they saw the ambassador was only a blossoming teen.Unknowingly, that teen also was well-versed in the national martial art of Agbigla translated literally as "suddenly,unexpectedly",an empty-hand system that specializes in single but fatal split-second techniques and short lethal combinations and couinter combos utilizing all parts of the body some even gender-specific.(don't want to go into details because this is classified info) In short, she made quick work of them and even more suprisingly, none of them got killed. She later explained that she used an off-shoot style of Agbigla which was also non-lethal.A year later, both countries commemorated statues in her likeness in their respectful capital buildings. Jesalindajah despite being so young has accomplished so much in so little time. She is the leading philanthropist of the country donating 95% of annual earnings and is the lead engineer in proposing a National Defense System while remaining 100% environmentally friendly. Even with such a heavy schedule, she finds time tending to her parents farm, working out, playing sports, producing world class art in all it's forms and is a renowned General who has prevailed in 3 previous theaters of war and hones her skill by participating in daily war games with allied nations. When Ylokandia was in a brief period of peace, she lead her University(the University of Luna)to the national American Football Championships where they mercilessly smashed their rivals 72-28 by relying on a run-oriented offense and with a 4-4 defense stacked at the LB position and got the MVP award for leading the nation in rushing yards, passing yards, most interceptions,passing efficiency, and has set a record in world's longest field goal at 85 yards! Is a six-star prospect running a 4.15 40 yd dash and Squatting,Benching over 500 lbs and just recently set up a professional women's football league and established girls football in the high school and collegiate levels.The "Balisitang nagapwan jay La Union" is a lovely, young woman with many talents and even though i do want to go on mentioning everything she accomplished....I would rather have the Miss Nation States committee to interview her themselves to verify that she is the "real deal".


*Also I do not want to use any more of your time as the Committee leader you have hundreds of entries to inspect and review so I bid you adieu*-Anidelle Armas,official spokesperson and agent of Jesalindajah Barrientos :D

The entire process is usually 10 years long (4 for bachelors, 2 for master, 4 for doctoral). To get it before age five means she had to be studding a few years before birth!

OOC: I have to agree, a childs mind - even a prodigies- is not developed enough to have obtained the amount of knowledge needed to get even a baccalaureate. I'd have to agree with the 12-14 age range as a bare minimum. Dreaming is not forbidden, the totally unjustifiable / unbelieveable is.

TO St. Mimic:

Our Holy Constitution forbids a woman attend any kind of competition, unfortunately... Would it be a problem if we send a male representative to Miss Nationstates?


Not at all

Notice - Having offered the OP of this thread my services to run the pageant, my offer has been accepted. I will have a IC thread up before the weekend is out!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rules

1) Every nation may send one (1) Competetor and one (1) National delegate/ Coach/ Representative.
2) That Competetor must be between the ages of 18 and 8 or the racial equivallent there of - they must have reached the minimum age of majority for their species and must not be over ten years older than that minimum.
3) The Competetor may be of any gender and species from within the nation they are representing.
4) The Competetor must be a citizen of the nation they are representing.
5) The Competetor must be of sound moral character and have a clean criminal record - No fellonies, no active wants/ warrrents/ BOlO's/ Hold for Investigation.
6) The Competetor must not be married, must never have been married, must not currently be pregnant, must never have had children. ( being a surrogate does not count in this reguard.

Structure

There are three portions to the judging:

A) Personality - this takes place over many days as the judges interview each contestant, in both private and small group settings; perhaps multiple times. This covers 73% of the weight of the judging

B)Bathing suit and /or talent - A contestant may chose one or the other or both. This covers some 15% of the weight of the judging with participating in both granting a bonus percentage, and winning one or the other - or both - granting another bonus percentage atop that.

Evening Wear - The formal wear appropriate to the gender, species and national culture. This is weighted at 12% of the judging

Additional Requirements

There will be two nonjudged presentations which all contestants must participate in- a dance and song routine, and a national costume presentation.

The contestants and their attendant delegate must at all times uphold the character of the Pageant, and must be available for requested interviews with journals and other publications. These interviews will be requested in writing and preapproved - no one need worry about being ambushed.

Security is being provided by the Archonal Bodyguard, and will be highly discrete and very thorough. All contestants will have free time available for shopping, seeing the sights, spa treatments and other leisure activities.

Hotel suites - two bedroom suites with every amenity - and all meals will be provided at the pageant Venue.

Dear Pevisopolis, given that I am sure that your government granted blanket amnsety to such actions, that particular charge will not count against your chosen contestant. Sometimes revolution is the moral and ethical thing to do.


Dear St. Mimic, as long as Father Stocky meets the age requirements listed above - that is being between the ages of 18 - 28 ( that is - for your species - the equivallent minimal age of majority, and ten years after)

Sincerely.
