LAUREL ANEVA WHITMAN
full name: laurel aneva whitman nicknames: laura, whit, whitman age: nineteen birthdate: june 21 gender: female sexuality: straight wealth status: filthy rich occupation currently held, if any: none, really. she works for her father most of the time social standing: college freshman
let's get physical,
height: 5'5" weight: 125 lbs hair color: dark brown (almost looks black) eye color: hazel (sometimes look green, other times look brown) tattoos/piercings: just a really cool lookin' tattoo on her back and her ears portrayed by: kristin kruek
physical appearance in depth: aurel is a beautiful girl, and not just on the outside. You can’t help but love her, and by the time I’m done, you’ll understand why...
To start, Laurel has the type of eyes that you can get lost in. Their hazel, but most of the time they hold more green than brown. They also shine in ways you wouldn’t believe when she smiles or laughs. Since Laurel’s a “heart-on-her-sleeves” kind of girl, her eyes and face will always tell you how she feels, whether she wants you to know or not.
Then there’s her hair. Sometimes it’s hard to tell what color her hair is because the lighting often changes the color. Most of the time her hair looks black, and it matches her skin perfectly. Of course, from time to time it will look dark brown, but you can only see that when the light hits it in just the right way. Her hair is also naturally straight, and so you’ll hardly ever see it with any type of wave or curl. Laurel usually wears her hair up, but she will also wear it down from time to time.
One of the first things people notice about Laurel is her body. She has the body of a gymnast, probably from all those years of cheerleading and ice skating. She’s also about average height, reaching about 5’4”. Her weight, I’d say, is around 130-135; but that’s just a guess. You’ll also notice her skin tone. It’s definitely different than most people you’ll come across. It’s hard to tell whether she’s Latina, Asian, or Native American. If you ask her, though, she’d tell you she’s a little of all three, and leave it at that.
The only other thing even worth mentioning is her style. Laurel’s never really been into fashion, but she loves clothes. She loves being comfortable and looking good at the same time. I guess that you could say her style is more on the preppy side. She’s always wearing low rise jeans and tops that hug her body just right. As far as shoes go, she’ll wear just about anything that would look good with her outfit. She also loves earrings and sunglasses, and that goes to say that the only piercings she has are in her ears. ((yeah, i know, it sucks, but i'm tired, so i'll do better later))

personality: Laurel Whitman is the kind of girl that most people look at and whisper that she’s perfect. Laurel’s the one that you’ll notice when you walk down the street. The girl that every girl wants to be, every guy wants to date, and everyone hates just because she’s pretty and rich. Laurel’s classified with the stereotype of a rich kid, but that’s just not who she is. There’s so many things to Laurel that don’t meet the eye, and many don’t even want to see. She’s a good girl, though, with a good heart, and probably the closest thing to perfect that anyone can get, even though she’s far from.
Sweet. Laurel’s one of the sweetest and kindest girls that you’ll ever meet in your life. She’s a complete and total angel when it comes to some things, and she’s the kind that would never let you in on her own problems. Laurel hasn’t experienced much in her life. Her life has been easy street by any standard, and for the longest time she was sheltered from the horrors of the world she lived in. Still, that doesn’t mean Laurel can’t be a good person. She knows what’s right and what’s wrong, and she doesn’t consider herself to above anyone. She’s the kind of girl that anyone would aspire to be. She’d never stop being friends with someone just because of who their family is, what they do for a living, or who they’ve been in the past. At the same time, she’s also the kind of person that’d do anything for just about anyone. She’d easily help someone out if they needed it, and never ask questions as to why. Laurel’s one that you know that you could come to with your problems, because she’d try to help you out, and she’d never once judge you because of them.
Down to Earth. Laurel can be a little crazy from time to time, but for the most part, she’s extremely down to earth. She’s not the kind of girl that dreams days away and lives with her head in the clouds, and she would rather step back and look at the world around her than get caught up in it. She’s constantly showing people the road that they should be following, and she tries her hardest to keep everything running smoothly. She’s always had a soft spot for the weakest link, and she’ll do anything she can to make them stronger. She’s always there to lend a helping hand, and she can often be quite insightful in what she says. However, with all her wisdom also comes a fierce anger when messed around with can be a deadly thing. Laurel is not the type to jump to conclusions or accuse anyone of anything, however, if her or her friends are threatened, she will make it a fight until the end. With all that she is, she can also hold a mean grudge, and can be your worst enemy if she chooses to be. Most people choose to avoid this side of her, and it takes a lot to make her this way.
Sensitive. Considering how in tune she is with the feelings of the people around her, it’s no surprise that she has a soft heart. Sure, she’s sweet and kind, but she can be upset easily. It may take a lot to make her angry, but all it takes is one word to break her heart. She’s pretty good at hiding how she feels, but when she’s upset, it shines through as clear as day. She’s not the kind to stick up for herself if she’s teased or pushed down. If she gets angry this changes, but if it’s something hurtful, she can’t even imagine putting someone in their place. One thing to learn about Laurel, though, is that she doesn’t stay down long. All it takes is one person to make her smile, and it’s not long before she’s her good ol’ self again. She’s also a very forgiving person at times, and so she’ll forgive anyone that’s within reason to forgiveness. This hasn’t always turned out the best for her, but people learn from their mistakes, and sometimes that’s all it takes to learn a lesson.
Deep and open minded. Laurel’s a pretty open minded person. She often sees things in a different way than other people, and so she understands a wider range of people better than others. There’s no way to know how she became this way; it was probably because she wasn’t influenced, and grew up to see things the way they were then the way people wanted her to see them. Laurel tends to see the bigger picture, and not just what’s been set in front of her. Because of this, she’s able to see through people as well. Very little ever gets past her, but that doesn’t mean that she can read every person she comes in contact with. Still, this is only a portion of who she is. Laurel can also be pretty deep. Her opinions on a lot of things are often not what you’d expect, and she can sometimes leave you thinking. On occasion, she tends to leave you with more questions than answers, and she can do all of this with just a single look or phrase.
Outgoing. Laurel is extremely outgoing. She’s spent her entire life mingling with strangers and talking with people that she doesn’t even know. She’s not afraid to just be who she is, because she loves who she is, and she’d be the first person to walk up to a new kid at school. She’ll talk to just about anyone who will listen, and she’s really never been one to hide something. She’s never crossed the line of crazy, because you’d never see her at a wild, drunken party, but she has been to a club from time to time but she’s never gotten carried away. Laurel’s got a brilliant, happy, glowing personality about her, and she’s capable of making just about anyone smile. She simply lets the world see who she is, and by doing so she let’s the world see what she’s capable of being. Laurel’s never been shy about anything, and she’s certainly not afraid to take risks. She’s pretty much up for anything at any time, and sometimes what she’ll do may just surprise some people. But that’s what and who she is, and she’d never even think of changing that.
Intelligent. Laurel is intelligent on more than one level. She’s always been a straight A student and she graduated at the top of her class, just like her brother. Laurel’s just not smart when it comes to school, though. Because her whole life has been spent around conceded, arrogant rich kids, she knows what people tend to be. She sometimes sees things about people that others don’t, and she’s always been smart about who she chooses to keep close to her. Laurel’s not the kind of girl that’ll fall for half the crap that guys dish out and try to show the world. She doesn’t fall for the lies or the deceit, and she’s never put herself into situations that would harm her. That means to say that she’s not just intelligent as far as books go, but also in common sense. Very few people can say that they’re blessed with both things, and even fewer can say that they use both. Laurel’s like this, though, because she’s pretty much seen it all. She’s watched other girls get hurt by guys that are anything but committed, and she’s learned to see the signs of the wrong kind of guy.
Romantic. Laurel is a huge romantic. She’s like all other teenage girls who sit at home and read books or watch shows with guys that are sweeter than sweet. She’s not so naïve as to think that every guy on earth is like this, but she knows that a couple of them are. She also knows that any guy can be anything if he wants to be, and sometimes they only need a reason to be. Still, Laurel’s very into the whole candle-light dinner, cuddling by the fire, holding hands on the beach kind of thing. There’s really no reason to explain this in any sense, but Laurel’s one time relationship made her see the good in the guys around her, and every girl has a little bit of a romantic in them. That’s not to say, though, that she’s a hopeless one. Laurel’s romantic enough to be sensible, and that’s really all that she can be.
a little bit better,
history in depth: Laurel Aneva Whitman was born on February nineteenth to one of the wealthiest families on the East Coast. Her father, Charles Whitman, was a big business tycoon who had made a lot of good investments over the years and had earned a big name for himself. Her mother, Aneva Whitman, on the other hand, was an heiress to one of the largest restaurant chains known to man. Together they were practically richer than God, and have been ranked among the wealthiest families in America. They made a great life for themselves, living in one of the wealthiest areas of New York. A year after they were married they had their first child, a boy they named David, and two years later they had their second, a daughter they named Laurel. Their next child wouldn’t come for another five years, and that would be their daughter, Olivia. Their nest filled up quickly, but the love that both David and Aneva shared for their children was unmistakable. To those around them, this was the charming, all-American family. They were successful and rich and very charitable. To the world, they were the perfect people and the best known family. Whitman Electronics provided most of the world’s devices, having partnerships with Apple, Microsoft, and many other well known companies. Not to mention Aneva’s constant income from her father’s restaurant chain. Yep, this family was doing great, and the world seemed to love them.
But what came out for the public wasn’t always how things were at home. From the start, Aneva resented her children because they sucked away from her attention. David took all the help’s time in raising, and Charles was always onto her to help out with his upbringing, which she absolutely refused to do. When she became pregnant with Laurel, she was once again able to suck up all the attention, everyone always wanting to know more and more about her baby. When Laurel was born, though, that all stopped. Charles fonded over Laurel even more than he had David, and Aneva hated her daughter for it. When Laurel was two her father would carry her on his shoulders around their mansion while he worked. He would hold her hand and drag her around the parties he and his friends held from time to time, showing her off in her little white dress, her dark hair pulled back into pigtails. It was only a couple years before that that he had done the same kind of thing with his wife. Laurel, with a bright and innocent smile that she still has to this day, always seemed to capture the hearts of anyone she came in contact with. Then men and women at the parties fell in love with her, and were constantly making jokes about stealing her and taking her home with them.
When she started school, Laurel immediately made friends in her prestigious little elementary school. Every one of her classmates knew the Whitman name, and were constantly asking her about her mansion, the grounds surrounding it, or her father. Her classmates had money of their own, too, but no one was as rich as Laurel Whitman. As she worked her way through her school, she soon discovered that this was pretty much true no matter where she went. She was popular simply because she had money, and that didn’t always sit so well with her. She didn’t think that it was right to like someone just because they had money. When she was in the fifth grade, Laurel truly learned just how cruel people can be… especially rich ones. She walked into a bathroom just as one of her classmates was starting an insulting conversation about her. She said that Laurel was a stuck up and conceded little princess who thought she was better than everyone else and was constantly begging for attention. That couldn’t have been farther from the truth and in fact was the exact definition of her mother, and the girl that was saying the words. Laurel ran out of the bathroom crying and when she got home told her mother and father what had happened. Her mother had brushed it off and told Laurel to suck it up, but Charles had taken her to the side and told her a life lesson that she would always remember. There would be people around her for her whole life who would hate her just because she was rich and because they were jealous of her. She had two ways to react after that: sink to their level and dish it right back, or rise above them and ignore it. Laurel chose the second, and she’s lived by that her whole life.
Laurel made it through school quite easily. She had some love, some friends, and some bad times, just like anyone else, but nothing that was ever monumental by any standard. She had one love of her life, though, and that came in the form of Joshua Wright, a man from a much lower down family than her own. He had worked nights as a janitor around her school, but from the moment she set eyes on the man, she couldn’t help but be attracted to him. He had stunning blue eyes, dark, messy hair, and a body that any number of men would wish for. She’d been staying after school with a couple of girls, tutoring some of the less intelligent students, and had just had a terrible time with the guy she was trying to teach French too. After getting hit on, felt up, and insulted beyond all belief she’d left to cry in a nearby hallway. That’s when she’d met him, and he’d taken the time out of his work to make sure she was alright. He was a pretty remarkable guy, and like pretty much every other guy on the planet, he fell for Laurel almost immediately. She promised that she’d see him again soon, and after that she left. She couldn’t stop thinking about the boy, and when she stayed after that Friday night, she managed to grab herself a date with the boy. They were together quickly, and fell into an extremely passionate relationship that was pretty much secret, though that wasn’t how Laurel had wanted it to be. She wasn’t ashamed of the man that she had found, and after much persuasion, she managed to talk him into meeting her parents.
Had money never been an issue in any of this, Aneva and Charles would have loved Josh. In fact, they did from the minute that he entered the room. He was clean cut, good looking, and completely charming. Neither parent could ignore the way he looked at their daughter, nor the way that she looked at him. It was as they dug deeper into who he was that things changed… for Aneva at least. Charles was asking questions like a machine gun, firing one right after another and completely interested in what the boy was saying about him and his family. Aneva, after learning that Josh’s mother was a nurse at a local free clinic and that his father worked construction, she’d had enough of the conversation. When she learned that by “works at my school” meant on the janitorial staff, she was inches away from throwing him out of their house. After he had left, Charles had nothing but good things to say about Laurel’s choice in men, but Aneva simply preached that he was not good enough for her, and that she wasn’t going to see him again. Laurel, of course, didn’t listen, but going against her mother was a terrible thing to do, and it soon made Josh’s life a living hell. In the end, despite how much they cared for one another, Josh and Laurel agreed to break off their relationship, and after that he and his family were safe. Laurel kept contact with him for a while, but eventually it was just too hard for the both of them, and they let it go. Laurel never forgave her mother for doing such a thing, and Aneva never forgave her daughter for sinking so low.
Laurel’s relationship with Josh caused the word scandal to be associated with her name several times during her last year or so of high school. Laurel simply ignored the things those around her said, and she lashed out on a couple people once or twice for being so narrow minded and conceded. Mostly, though, Laurel rose above them and ignored what they did and said. She didn’t care who had money or who didn’t, and a lot of the time she befriended those kinds that were in the school on scholarship. She loved having friends that didn’t have all the money in the world, because they were different people. Everyone of them that she met were nice to her, and she couldn’t help but wonder what it was with kids like herself. How could they possibly dislike someone just because of their station in life? Laurel wasn’t a hypocrite either, incase your wondering. She did have friends who were as wealthy as her, but most of her friends were from lower income families. She had another boyfriend before leaving high school, but he turned out to be a conceded jerk and was only with Laurel because she was pretty. Laurel couldn’t help but want a ticket out of the lifestyle she’d grown up in, but there wasn’t a way that that was going to happen. That is, until her father gave her an opportunity. He was planning on taking a trip to Africa, working on the whole publicity thing and making him and his family look good. They were headed over seas to help out in the way that rich people usually do, and in a second, Laurel had signed on to go with him. Not only that, but David had joined her too.
In Africa, Laurel soon saw what the rest of the world was like. In the village they were staying, no one had running water, and hardly any had food. She couldn’t understand how people with her money and her standing just sat back and let stuff like this happen. Her father taught her another lesson then, and that was that many people don’t really care about the lives of others, but only about their own lives. Laurel decided right then and there that one day she would change the world. That she would make it better to the best of her abilities. The trip was a great one for Laurel. She got to spend time with people who didn’t care who she was, what kind of money she had, or who she had dated in her life. She got to spend time with her two favorite men in the world, and she got to be away from her evil mother and sister. Olivia, her younger sister, was the spitting imagine of Aneva. She was the type of girl that Laurel had grew to hate in her lifetime, and Olivia was constantly judging Laurel in the same way Aneva had done. Laurel was glad to be away from it all, and she hated to go back. Laurel spent the rest of that year working for her father, but at the start of the year, she decided to go off to college. She followed her brother to Yale, but found herself sucked back into the world of conceded little rich kids and immediately went searching for a new school. She found one in Seattle, and against her mother’s will, she went there.
Laurel’s now in Seattle to go to college and work on making a name for herself, and not just that of her family. She’ll do anything to get away from the life she’s always lived, and can’t wait to see what Seattle has in store for her.
addictions: none. criminal record: none. aspirations: Laurel doesn't really know what she wants in life. She'd like to do something to help out the people around her, the ones that can't get by on their own. More than likely she'll probably end up working for her father, but recently she's entertained the thought of being a doctor, and has started going to school for it.
than before,
the family:- Charles Michael Whitman - 45 - father - business tycoon
- Aneva Anita Whitman - 44 - mother - heiress
