Uh, Charlotte on my mother's side and Alexis middle name of my dad's. I never knew either of them. My parents kind of did the running away together thing Home life - My father didn't stay long. Bills piled too high and a kid that wouldn't stop crying was a little too much for him to handle. It was just my mom and I for a really long time. And money was hard. I mean, we literally had zip. I tried to work as soon as I could, but you know, child labor laws. Life was tough, but it was good to always have her around. Adjectives Feisty - Got bit of a firey tongue as my firetamer species might suggest. Some might want to call me caddy, but it's nothing like that. I just sometimes come off the wrong way and if someone dares to try to wrong me in some manner, I don't stay quiet or easy about it. My temper probably helps out with this. A common trait in all firetamer's, really. Blunt - With my uh, feisty tongue, comes my very blunt nature. I don't like beating around the bush. Small talk? Skip it. I'm not interested in how your day went. If I do, I'll ask. I mean what I say, nothing deep into it. Reading into what I say is people's biggest mistake. They wonder if I'm mad or jealous. Trust me, I'll say something. Keeping something in for a long time doesn't sit well with me. Eventually, it's got to come out. Liar - I know I just got done telling you I'm blunt, but there are circumstances when I have to lie. These circumstances aren't normal, so no one should worry. This is past me, hopefully. Rough - You could call me a tomboy cause I'm really not good at the dingy and gentle little soft stuff. In fact, those girls generally just piss me off. Princess material isn't my style. I'm pretty rough all the time. You hand me something soft and delicate, I'm more than likely going to break it. These hands of mine are not baby soft or whatever. In fact, they're... the complete opposite. Guilty - I've done a lot in my life. Getting my hand's dirty is a little bit of a nice way to say it. There was a point in my life I wanted to do anything for money and to provide for my mother. I won't even tell you other things I tried, but I was a quick learner. For that, I... this guilt on my shoulders. I want to get rid of it. Do nothing but good after that. It haunts me. But I can't linger on it. I'd get nowhere. Caring - I do care for people that are worth being cared about. I'm fiercely loyal and protective though. Nothing's going to get past me, and I'm very aware of the evil in the world. Sometimes I tend to hover, but I'm pretty stubborn to stop. If I were a mom, I'd be helicopter parent like nobody's business. Careful - Because I know whats out there, I'm very careful. I'm careful about relationships. Who I talk to. Who I'm mean to. Who I'm nice to. I watch everything. it's not so much paranoid as it is just wanting to make sure I don't have to become paranoid. Being careful isn't bad. it just takes more effort. Animal Spirit Killer Whale - In the zoo's and appearances and stuff, they look adorable and swim with a bunch of their trainers and stuff. They're friendly, do a lot of cool tricks, but one of them in the wild? They're terrifying. Wolf of the sea. They're not called 'killer' whale for nothing. Fears - Finding someone from my past. Not my past from Manuka, but the between Manuka sessions. God, thats terrifying. - Being unsure of myself. Wondering where I was at and if I was doing the right thing took it's toll on me. I did not enjoy it. But I did know myself well enough to know it wasn't what I wanted. So to be in that same position freaks me out. - Money. I was at a point in my life where I was starving and nearly homeless. It's strange how green pieces of special paper define the way I live, but there you have it. Secrets - I used to be an assassin for money. Favorites Smell - Tea. It's relaxing and very subtle. But it even smells healthy Flavor - Vanilla. Sound - Birds in the morning. Makes me feel like I'm in a movie. Kiss - Ones you don't expect. No surprises. But the ones that you don't expect to be emotional or sweet. Movie - Classics. Pretty Woman. Thin Man. Princess Bride. Memory - Oh, it's so childish, but I remember sitting in the Ellis house, sneaking out of my chores and sitting in the back as they watched the movie. One of them called me out, and I was about to leave, but... they sent me back in to watch the rest of it. I was going through a rough time, so that moment meant a lot to me. History The Servant Child - My father left my mom a little after I was born. It was just her and I, and frankly, there wasn't much my mom could do. She had been grown as a stay at home mother for so long. She tried to get into business but my mom... wasn't cut out for it. The thing she found that made us enough money was being a maid or servant in a household to large rich families. She'd nanny, but with me, it would have been so much harder. I helped her out when I could, but I was little. She found a long term job at the Ellis house. Most of my time was honestly spent trying to sneak away from my duties to hang with the other children. I was closest in age with Aiden Ellis, so clearly I hung with him the most. We played games. Superheroes. When he developed his firetaming ability, it was even better. I was a weird kid. I liked it. My mom was human, but working with the Ellis kind of meant we both knew about the supernatural kind. I didn't know I was one of them at that time... The Move - My senior year. Senior. Year. And my mom announces that we have to move. I was angry for a long while. I grew up with these guys, and now, I was heading out the other direction. Very aggravating. Still don't know why we moved out. In fact, things took the turn for the worse... The Problem - Money. We had none of it. My mom had a job, but it was paying her less with the 'promise' of maybe one day being paid more. Nothing like you would have thought. We were hungry. This city cost more to live in. It wasn't like we could move back. My anger against my mom disappeared when she was bawling in front of me telling me she'd do anything to ship me off and that I didn't need to stay here after my year of high school. I wasn't going to allow that. The Solution - I was desperate, but I was picky. It was awful. I tried everything. Prostitution didn't work out, cause I chickened out and kneed him in the nuts instead. He tried to hit me and I moved behind a chair. He asked if I took classes. I told him no. Then suddenly, he changed. He said he'd give me money if I took some classes and did something for him. At first, they started out as just threatening people. Throwing them around a bit. There wasn't too much harm for the money it gave me. But it slowly started going into something more. Each time... The Firetamer - I wasn't perfect. I made slip-ups. Nothing serious until one... He pinned me down, telling me he was going to treat me like the bitch I was. Something exploded. My blood pumped and I just exploded. There was literally nothing left of him. I knew about firetamers to know exactly what happened. That just ended up being my greatest advantage... The Death - My mother died not too long after that. We were living peacefully, middle class now. Someone who had a grudge found my address and my poor mother answered the door. I don't know how long I cried. And I don't cry. At all. As heartbreaking and horrible as it was, it changed my life... The New Beginning - I was no longer going to be that person. All those innocent people I killed would have justice. I swore that if I ever raised a hand again, it would be for the light side. Now that the war has started, this is my chance to make things better. My unique set of skills will be used to fight the enemies that I was once among. ------------------------------------------------- RP SAMPLE ..... I CAN'T READ
