Paciano 

A very handsome guy all around. Has the biggest heart and is such a caring person. He loves comforting other people and make them feel better to make themselves feel better. A very responsible, yet can get lazy at times. Hardworking man. Very beautiful eyes and the brightest smile you’ll ever encounter with. Has a very dark life and sometimes won’t admit it. Lowkey is always sad about something but they don’t like opening up to people. More of a listener. Is perfect from the inside as much as he is from the outside :)

paciano is the best person I’ve ever met!!! He makes me so happy

Karina Pasian 

A young vocalist who is pretty talented for her age but no Whitney Houston as many claim her to be. Signed to Def Jam records by Jay-Z in 2006, but has yet to really release anything. (?) She plays piano and makes sure to take pictures with every single famous person that she encounters. Her parents and family use her at every opportunity to meet famous people and take pictures as well. Probably won't get very far, sadly enough, considering the fact that her family will probably spend all her money.

That girl Karina Pasian has met EVERY single person in the R&B music world...and has hundreds of pictures to prove it. But where is her album? Sex sells, so Def Jam is just waiting for her to turn 17 so they can sex her up.

Paisano

Generally describes a person from the same origin as oneself.

Paisano originates from the Italian lauguage, in which it means "Brother." It is also the equivalent to "Homie" in the U.S. and often shortened to "Paisa" in slang terms.

Cristian and Jessica are both from Panama.

Therefore Jessica can call Cristian a Paisano. (or Paisa)
