PERSONALITY: Ava is super outgoing and fairly excitable. She learned from an early age that if she wanted something, she had to work in order to get it and really put her mind to it. She isn't afraid to take chances or risks, something she shares with her brother, along with her snarky personality. Some say she's worse than Nate in that regard, but she normally just saves the attitude for him. She's also usually willing to try anything once.
FACTS:
- The youngest child, and only daughter of Victor and Mary Cross. Her eldest brother, Michael, was killed during a gang-related drive-by, so it's just her and Nathan Cross now.
- Has a sister-in-law, and two young nieces from Michael.
- After taking a couple of college courses, she realized it wasn't for her. So, at the age of twenty-one, and after saving for years doing dead end jobs, she took off to travel the world. It was difficult at first, but she got by day to day by posting consistently to social media and her blog, a-crosstheworld.com. Her views and followers skyrocketed, and she was able to continue traveling with donations, sponsors, and affiliates.
- Has been trying to go to 30 countries before she's 30. She's only at 25.
- As much as she loves traveling, she was missing home, and recently decided to come back to California in hopes of working on her writing. Ava wants to be known more as a journalist than a blogger, yet has been very fortunate for her beginnings.
- Was upset with Nate when he broke up with Pen McCarthy and still, till this day, doesn't understand why he did. She was fairly close to Pen, even if they weren't spending much physical time together, and even after the breakup, Ava was still sending her postcards from the places she visited.
- Has to wear glasses when using a computer, but often wears contacts.
- Has a weakness for sour gummy worms.
- Likes to wear heels whenever she possibly can because it makes her taller...and Nate doesn't let her forget that she's short.
- Absolutely loves the outdoors, even if she dresses like a "girly girl" most of the time. She'll out-hike or rock climb someone like it's nobody's business.
- Her favorite color is pink.
