The Burst Brigade
Jon | Rydel | Camille "as a confident and sassy kid, alba’s not afraid to speak her mind. she can come off as boisterous or inappropriate and sometimes slips into spanish rants, but alba puts her heart into her friendships with the brigade. if she’s not in a turf war or hanging out with her squad, she’s probably flirting."

Full name: Alba Cabrera
Nicknames: Leaving ( ), Alb/Albs

Age: 15
Species: Inkling
Gender: female
Sexuality: homosexual
Partner: Pixie King
Family: Tomas Cabrera (father, 38), Elana Cabrera (mother, 40), Ysabel Cabrera (sister, 18)
Main color: purple (vs lime green)
Interests: her Carbon Roller, Turf Wars, Marie (HUGE FAN), winning, fashion, flirting, sweets, soda, 'debating'
Dislikes: opponents who use the Carbon Roller (Deco) or have any parts of her outfit, losing, being lime green in a match, people looking down on her
Gear: Pilot Goggles , Berry Ski Jacket , Crazy Arrows

Weapon(s): Carbon Roller (Burst Bombs | Inkzooka)
Fighting style: The Brigade has dubbed her as a Wildcard. She doesn't listen to strategies unless it involves splatting others. Alba loves splatting others and takes pride in her weapon having the fastest 1-hit KO.

Personality: LOUD is a good word. She has a tendency to be the center of attention, and if she's not, she'll point the limelight at herself. Her lack of a filter for what comes out of her mouth can make her seem like a troublemaker, and she comes off as obnoxious to others. That might be why she can't score a date despite being the flirtiest of the squad, but hey, she'll learn eventually, right? Despite her boisterous front, Alba really does care about others. Even if Jon is her bestest friend, she's super close with Rydel and Camille as well and would do anything to make sure they're doing alright. This can very well mean calling out someone in the Plaza for upsetting her friends and whacking them with an inkless roller. Her ADHD doesn't rule her life but it's very prominent.

Backstory: Alba's family is surprisingly well-off. Her parents are an IT manager and accountant, and her sister is currently in college to become a lawyer. Where does that leave Alba? She's not smart and doesn't exactly have anything going for her future, not to mention the rebellious personality... Turf Wars make her feel like she's good at something, and the Brigade doesn't look down on her for her recklessness in matches. In a way, Alba is slightly addicted to Turf Wars, given they're what she's good at and can prove herself to everyone. Out of the entire squad, she's the only one who does Turf Wars regularly, since dinner at her house is tense and judgemental.WELL there's my first Inkling I ever made, so that's pretty cool. She looks a lot different than the first time I drew her, huh?
