Giselle Carolynn Garcia (Carly Garcia)

This character was in response to a Character Call. The only information given for the Character Call was as follows:

Background information on character: Carly is the best friend of Ashleigh Brown (Patrick Stump's girlfriend). Carly is originally from Miami, and moved to Los Angeles in 1999.

Giselle Carolynn Garcia was born on October 27, 1980 in Miami, Florida. Carly is the youngest of five and has two older brothers and two older sisters. Her mother, Rosalinda, is a nurse at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami and her father, Andres, is a state trooper for the Florida Highway Patrol. Her cousin Jayden is her best friend. Her siblings are: her brothers Andres, Jr. "Junior" (August 12, 1974) and Antonio "Tony" (January 26, 1976) and her sisters Anabella "Ana" (September 4, 1977) and Maricella Natalia "Nat" (March 30, 1979). She is closest to Maricella since they are closer in age. She is an aunt and the godmother of Junior's daughter Isabella (February 8, 2002).

Carly is the "peace maker" of the group in the story. She is outgoing once you get to know her, loyal to her friends and family, a hard worker, and determind to get what she wants.

Carly moved to Los Angeles in early 1999 after applying for and getting an internship with Interscope Records. When she moved to Los Angeles, feeling a bit alone as she was living by herself for the first time ever, she got a brown Yorktese from the Humane Society and named her Brownie. In 2001, she decided to move when her lease was coming up and moved into a gorgeous new apartment in the same building as Pete Wentz, who had also just moved to Los Angeles. Carly and Pete became good friends and would constantly spend time with each other. In 2002, Carly was home in Los Angeles after touring with another band and went to a bar/club and ran into Kendra Stanley and Ashleigh Brown. The three exchanged numbers after getting along great that night and became fast friends afterwards.

Carly works for Interscope Records in Los Angeles (Santa Monica) and has worked in various capacities for Interscope Records over the years. Most notably was when she toured with Express Yourself Clearly (better known as E.Y.C.), on the Backstreet Boys' "Into the Millennium" tour when they toured the U.S. in late 1999 and early 2000 as their assistant tour manager. Currently, Carly is working in the office at Interscope, waiting for her next chance to tour with an artist, as she is not assigned to be the manager of any particular artist at the time.

Carly is currently single, but does go out on dates when she has a chance. Her belief is that she is young and doesn't need to be tied down to one person right now. Her work is extremely important to her and she doesn't want a man to get in her way of accomplishing goals that she has set for herself in her career.

Carly's relationship with the characters in the story are as follows:

Kaci Roman: she thinks Kaci is really cool and sweet and is glad that Pete finally found someone who loves him for him and not because he is in a band. She doesn't know until Jayden visits her while Kaci is in Los Angeles, but Kaci is also friends with Jayden so they have that connection.

Nick Carter: she knows Nick though the industry. The last time she saw him was when she was on the "Into the Millennium" tour, but the first time she's actually seen him and hung out with him away frim the business was at Fall Out Boy's album release party where he got a little too wasted.

Kaley Colecka: she doesn't like Kaley, at all. She thinks Kaley is fake and isn't impressed by Kaley because of what she has heard around town about the Mayor's daughter.

A.J. McLean: she knows A.J. quite well and has a huge crush on him. There is the potential of something becoming "more than friends", but Carly would only pursue that if she was given the okay by Kaci, who everyone in the industry knows A.J. only has eyes for.

Pete Wentz: she is really good friends with Pete and loves hanging out with him and Patrick. She is estatic that he has finally found someone who always puts a smile on his face and has essentially controlled his bi-polar ways.

Patrick Stump: she knows him through Pete and Ashleigh and thinks he is really nice and is glad for one of her best friends that she has such an awesome boyfriend. She finds the he is kind of quiet though, and thinks the quiet ones are the ones to watch out for.

Maksim Chmerkovskiy: don't get her wrong, she thinks Maks is a great guy, good looking and someone who is a ton of fun to be around. However, she isn't sure of him because she doesn't think a straight good looking guy dances ballroom. Essentially, she thinks he is gay (she sees nothing wrong with the lifestyle and encourages love for everyone equally) and his relationship with Karina is a cover-up.

Ashleigh Brown: she knows Ashleigh the best out of all the characters in Sweetest Taboo and she is her best friend and has been her best friend since they met in Los Angeles in 2002.

Kendra Stanley: she loves Kendra and her "I don't give a fuck" attitude. She knows Kendra because of Ashleigh, but she hangs out with Kendra without Ashleigh as well, and they usually have a great time together when they do so.
