[/center]Hello! My name is Amanda.
I am 17.
I have been role playing for threeish years I do believe.
& {Sample
I don't have a quote so here is one that I made up,
Carmen's eyes flew open at the jolt of someone hitting her in the back. Her eyes widened and she turned around to see who it was. Jake stood there. He was as good looking as ever and had grown well into his height. She smiled casually.
"Long time no see." She said with a familiar look in her eye as she looked him over once more.
"Tell me about it." He said and sat down next to her at the bar. Casually he ordered a shot and ordered one for Carmen too. "How've you been, hun?"
Carmen gave him a sidelong glance, "Good." She drummed her painted fingernail on the bar before looking at him. "Shanna lost 'er baby I heard."
Shanna was Jake's sister. "Yeah, family had a long time of hurting before they were finally over it. Finally figured that they didn't actually know the kid so no sense in drowning themselves with it."
She smiled, but the smile didn't quite reach her brow, "I see," Carmen said with a hint of annoyance.
"You're still just as pretty as I remembered." Jake said looking her over.
Carmen's silky black hair fell over her shoulder and her bangs found her eyes. "Thanks," she said and turned away from him. A single tear of pain and remembrance fell from her eyes. She watched the drop fall onto the bar and sit there like a little dome. That day, her outfit had been a bit revealing with a tight tank top that showed off her chest, and a pair of tight jeans that accented her long, skinny legs. Thinking it over again she wondered why she hadn’t gone with her baggy shirt at least. Jake wasn’t someone she wanted to get involved with again. He had been nice yes, but he wasn’t right for her. So far she had built a wall around her heart instead of letting others in. Her thoughts were interrupted by a cough from Jake.
“You okay?” he asked gently. His charming nature had been what had caught her in the first place.
Carmen nodded. “Yeah, I am fine.” She stood up. “I have to go though,” she walked out of the room without another word said. Jake stood there stunned.
{ Carmen.
Name: Carmen Downs.
Age: 21.
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: Bi.
Social Standing: adult.
Physical Appearance: Carmen's eyes captivate most. At times they are a bold green and other days they are a dull grey. Some people think she is in some way tied to demonic things, but she truly isn't, her eyes just change colors a lot. With the unreal amount of abuse she has suffered she has many scars and other self harm marks. So, she wears long sleeved shirts a lot; even in the summer. Self conscious is her middle name. She is a bit short, but she doesn't mind that. The fact that you can see her ribs at times is what bugs her.
Many people are intrigued by her long, skinny legs. People have said she should be a model, but she always says no. Her unmatchable style would become ruined she has also said in many cases. She is in many ways a bold crazy person and it reflects in her clothes all the time. She will wear something that wouldn't normally match and pull it off perfectly. One thing that people love about her is her individuality.
Her edgy style is what intimidates people though if they don't know her. She isn't afraid to wear anything really. At something formal you might see her in a crazy dress or even in a suit. People at times wonder if she is seeking attention or if she is just being herself. The simple answer is that she is being herself. Yes, the attention she receives because of it boosts her self respect, but she hates being in the spot light all the time. People don't understand this and continue to draw attention to her. Here lately she has been found dressing semi normal and looking more and more like a normal girl.
She dyes her hair way too much, but she enjoys it. You never know if it is going to be bright red or a dark black. At times Carmen will do something really crazy like a pink or something, but that is usually only if she is feeling really normal. She goes through the stages where she wont brush it just for the rough look, but usually it drives her crazy and ends up brushing it after three days. She flaunts her hair all the time by wearing it down.
Carmen's style can be classified as emo, goth, punk, skater, prep, tomboy, and every other group there is. You just cant classify her. That is the one thing she likes the most about herself too. Her previous boyfriends have all said that they liked her looks though because she was always so different and creative. Her physical apperance is her greatest asspect in many ways, but it is also her greatest flaw.
Personality:
At times Carmen can simply be a bitch. Not on purpose usually though. Her past ties into this a lot. She was never really respected so at times she doesn't respect others. Everyone can usually look past this aspect and forgive her. She has hurt many though by being rude to them. Carmen always gets upset at this fact and can go through stages of depression. Thus, leading into her selfharm. The best thing to do is to just look past her bitchy side and let her be.
Emotional is her middle name. Things get her down a lot and she has had a history with cutting and other self harm instances. When she gets sad though she usually bounces right back and is happy again. If she is sad for too long though she becomes depressed and that is never good for anyone. Abuse has been a key thing to make her depressed. Sometimes she is overly negative and you have to threaten her to make her stop.
When Carmen is happy she will do anything. Her spirits are above everything and she is always running around hyper and crazy. People love being around her when she is happy because she is up for anything. If she is happy she can be a flirt with anyone. Even if she doesn't like the person she will flirt with them. Not on purpose, but its just her being herself. She can't help it, but who wouldn't mind a pretty girl flirting even if she didn't truly like them. It would make the person that liked them jealous.
In general though she is crazy and out there. She enjoys partying and having a good time. Nothing that she has done has made her regret it. This is one thing that hasn't changed about her over the years. If you get her drunk or high then there is no stopping her. She has never gotten into any major trouble though, but things do change and she does get more daring over the years so you never know. Part of the reason why she isn't afraid to do anything is because she figures that you have one chance to live and one chance to make everything worth wild.
Carmen's personality is always changing. The few things that wont change are her creativity, craziness, and flirtyness. These things are what define her. Her creativity makes her incredibly unique and bold. No one tries to copy her because they know that it is impossible. Through the years her creativity has just grown and grown. Admiration is what makes her even more creative. If her friends are happy with what she is doing it makes her want to go even farther.
History:
Her parent's died when she was 11 in an accident. She was emotionally disturbed for a few years before she finally realized that she was lucky to be alive herself. She ended up moving in with her grandfather and he saved her from herself you could say. When he died she was crushed, but was able to move on easier than with her parents.
At the age of 17 she dropped out of school. Not because she couldn't handle it or anything, but because she couldn't go to school and work to support herself at the same time. Her grandfather had died a few weeks after she turned 17 and was barely able to get out of going to foster parents. Everything had been left to her and she was also left with the debt.
When Carmen turned 19 she moved to New York to try to make it big with her music. She was close to making it, but her past began to reveal itself. The trouble with the law she had gotten in the past years started to poke at her. Nothing was major, but who wants a person fresh out of drug abuse?
When she turned 20 she began skipping from town to town playing at small bars. For the most part everyone liked her and they were all sad when she left. Most believed she had a natural talent that would take her far if she had the chance. This boosted Carmen's dreams and she decided she wanted to move to another big city and try again to make a name for herself.
At age 21 she finds herself staring Seattle straight in the eye. Her dreams of seeing her name in the papers is starting to fade, but she decided she would stay this time. She is tired of running. Her past cant hurt her anymore. It is all in the past and there is nothing it can do. This is where her life is beginning.
