Da Nameless Wonder
NAME: Brittany
NICKNAME: Shorty/Squirrel (one're da other.. I dunno if Shorty is already taken, but that's my preferred name)
ORIGIN OF NICKNAME: *sighs* height.../hyperactivity
AGE: 15 (awright, so i bumped it up a couple months, but this is still a story, eh? *grins*)
GRADE: 9th
DESCRIPTION(include clothing): blonde hair down to mid-back (which sadly isn't perfect and straight... experimentation with perming leads to poufiness, folks... but straighteners come in handy if you've got the time... otherwise, it'll be thrown up in a bun), grey-blue eyes (but more blue than gray), wears contacts, two ear piercings, i like eyeliner but not lipstick (m reeses and tootsie roll chapstick!), fairly pale complexion (which can be a problem if you blush - and i do, sadly...) oh yeh. and the shortness. which i already mentioned. 5'2"? yep. dat's me.
As far as clothes go... i'm a bit of a nut. (not like, in a seriously bad way. lol) I usually wear jeans (from like a&f, aeo, gap and the like..) and a graphic tee, pretty tight fitting, w/ a hoodie over, silver necklace w/ a 'B' on it, studs in upper ear piercing, hoops in the lower, extra ponytails and a green ribbons from christmas around my wrist, grey/white/pink shox or my big black boots and a belt. don't really like skirts... unless i have the occasion for dressing up...
PERSONALITY(include attitude towards life): extrememly shy until i feel i know you well enough, (you guys see my internet side fortunately) and then i get... spaztic. i mean really hyper. and i laugh at some pretty dumb stuff. Oh yeah, and if i don't kow you... don't touch me. It freaks me out. As does any sudden movements... I spaz. No particular reason why.
I love scary movies/books (STEPHEN KING! woo!) and old music (*beatles*/clash/david bowie/john lennon/boston/rush/elton john/rolling stones/cars... you get the picture. I listen to my dad's radio station most of the time, if that ain't sad.) not to say I won't listen to new music. I like it, but am pretty clueless as to who does what song and such.
Cherry Coke is man's best friend. And I mean that quite literally, folks. uhh.. foods, pizza, *orange chicken*, chicken... just in general. pork is gross. it is not the other white meat. don't like salad, either... ok, i'm working on it, but i can still only do a few bites. Also good is grape soda and slushies... and strawberry-banana smoothies! double chocolate cookies! i'm gonna get off the subject before i starve!
I'm smart. (wow... that was blunt, but there's really no way 'round it.) i take all honors classes i can, and somehow do well in them. even thoguh i absolutely hate homework and put it off until the last second (doing it right now) and cram for tests. I take piano, and am just starting guitar. I like computers/programming and writing. I also love drawing and art (and have been told i'm pretty good, but hey, that embarrasses me, ya guys! 'specially when people are like... oh that's awesome! my stuff sucks. and i'm bad at saying no it doesn't. because i can't lie worth sh*t.)
I think you've pretty much got my take on life... but... i'll try to add more. Mostly I just go with the flow. I don't like making the first move, and like long-term relationships. I love hanging around with friends, but staying at home is okay, too. I want really bad to do well in life and have people like me (i start getting paranoid if i think they're mad at me...) but i dunno writing that out doesn't really capture it. i hope you get it more better (uhh nvm) from the above.
PERSONAL HISTORY(include family life): Born in STL, raised in STL, living in STL (STL is St. Louis, folks. ya know, the arch?) and am TERRIBLY bored of it. (possible reason i got the heck out??) I did live in Tulsa, OK for like a year (in kingergartedn) I wanna go somewhere and have fun... we take the same two vacations every year! FL or Branson! *pulls out hair*
was a horrible idiot dork-face until about fifth grade (wow... i seriously seem tohave some self-image problems, but it was that bad) but i have gladly changed my ways... and made some freakin' friends!
I don't really much like my mom. She's not horrible to me like Skunk's mum was, but.. I just don't like her. My dad's alright. And I have two and a half sisters. Krista, 10; Erin, 4; and Tara (the half-sister... my dad's side), 19.
RELIGION: none, i believe what i wanna... which is pretty messed up... fate, karma (somehow those exist at the same time afterlife?)... all that good stuff but it's wierd.
CRUSH/BOYFRIEND(include second or third choices): Skittery, Kid Blink/Spot/Mush (those three can't be ranked... *sigh*)
DOES YOUR CHARACTER SMOKE? nope
ANY OTHER INTERESTING FACTS: haven't I bogged you down enough yet? oh... maybe... i think i forgot to mention the sarcasm. i'm pretty sarcastic (hopefully it's apparent enough). Oh.. and my birthday's april 5th? kay, sure... and I take german. used to take french. so sometimes my conversations get tres wierd, ja?
uh... lol did'ja get all that? hehe I really hope I make it... I luv this story so bad! Good luck w/ it and the casting call and everything!!
-Luv Again-

I'm changing my character around a little for this. I've decided that she's needed a change anyway.
NAME: Alison Wood
NICKNAME: Alaska
ORIGIN OF NICKNAME: It's because I'm cold and distant when you first meet me.
AGE: 17
GRADE:11
DESCRIPTION(include clothing):short, jet-black hair; ice-blue eyes; 5 foot 2; long, slender fingers(you can tell she's a writer this way) Has dimples if she ever smiles.
Clothing - comfortable is the best way to describe it. Loose pants and t-shirts. Loves hats of almost any kinds, newsie hats, bucket hats and cowboy hats are her favorites. She loves the color black and basically any other dark colors like brown, gray, deep green, ect. Will sometimes wear bright colors like blue.
PERSONALITY(include attitude towards life)She's a pessimist and hates most of life. She feels like she'll never amount to anything. She doesn't care what people think of her however. She rarely smiles, even though she's told that she has a nice smile.
Some mistake her silence for shyness, but it's really because she's had bad experiences from friends and family in the past and doesn't like to get close to anyone. She can be really rude and sarcastic at times, but she doesn't cuss. Gets mad really easily, but can be extremely forgiving. Likes to sing when she thinks no one else is around. Is constantly putting herself down. She'll deny being pretty if you tell her that she is. She could be right beside you and you would never notice. She's really stealthy and can get around almost anywhere without anyone noticing, like walk out of a room or something like that.
She doesn't think that a guy will ever like her. Alaska gets along better with guys than with girls though. She doesn't like to show emotions to others. She'll make up excuses if caught crying to cover for it. She takes everything as a part of natural life. Dying and stuff like that doesn't faze her and she's not afraid of it.
She's been talking herself out of running away for a while now, but finally did it. She's a loner most of the time. She'll be quiet around you unless you're a really good friend. She is also a bit of a rebel. Don't make her mad unless you like being yelled at or given the silent treatment. She knows how to fight.
PERSONAL HISTORY(include family life): Grew up in Texas. Her family was constantly putting her down and it made her feel like she'd never amount to anything. They always wanted her to be better at everything and expected too much.
Because of this, she was constantly wanting to run away from home. She was always talking herself out of it. Her dreams were crushed early in life, although she still holds onto hope that she'll be a writer or actor someday. It's the one thing that's really made life worth living to her.
Her friends slowly started to stop hanging out with her. She's not the type of girl to care about fashion, but a lot of her friends were. Once middle school started, most of her friends abandoned her. Only three people have been able to stay friends with her over the years.
She ran away finally when one of her friends moved away. The others became too busy to hang out anymore and she didn't see a reason to stay there any longer. She just left one night, leaving no note or warning behind.
RELIGION:Christian
CRUSH/BOYFRIEND(include second or third choices):Mush, Bumlets, or Skittery
DOES YOUR CHARACTER SMOKE? No
ANY OTHER INTERESTING FACTS: She's constantly falling for guys she has no chance with. It makes her feel better because she knows that nothing will ever happen. She loves drama. She also loves to write and do so constantly, almost always carrying a journal and pen around with her. Songs and poems are about the love she wishes to have and the life she ran away from and the freedom that came with it.
She tends to daydream a lot, it's one of her weaknesses. She's been caught daydreaming many times by old classmates and will probably continue to by anyone she happens to meet. It takes a lot to get close to her and she doesn't like to talk about her past. Believes in 'True Love Waits'.

2004-01-19 . chapter 4
NAME: Lute McDonaghey
NICKNAME: Swinger
ORIGIN OF NICKNAME: She just loves swing music. You know, from the 1940's and stuff? ^_^
AGE: 17
GRADE: 11th (Junior in high school)
DESCRIPTION(include clothing): Brown hair, cut off at her chin. Her eyes are hazel-green, and in the sunlight, completely green (hazel-green eyes can do that, trust me, I have them). Her build is very stocky, broad shoulders, wide hips. She's very short (5'2''), with large feet and pretty hands. She has premature laugh lines because she spends so much time laughing at people and teasing them. Her smile is very catching and pretty, but it's the only thing that would make someone stand and take notice at first glance. Her skin has a light tan to it, something she got from her mother. Her legs are curved and rounded, very pretty, only noticeable in modern-day stories when she wears shorts or the rare skirt. Her cheeks are very rosy, and her walk is proud, with her back straight
Clothes: Starting at the top: She always wears a fedora of some sort, usually black, but she also has red and dark green. Baby-tee style shirts, mostly, from preppy-ish stores like Pac Sun (But never Ambercrombie; can't afford it), or section shirts from her days in marching band (Our current shirt is so cute, I just can't resist). Boy-shorts or baggy jeans. Mostly chunky wing-tips from Hot Topic for shoes, but also occasional slips. Never open-toed shoes; she's highly embarrassed by her toes for some reason.
PERSONALITY(include attitude towards life): Proud, haughty, big mouth, likes to put up a façade of being able to take care of herself, when, in reality, she can't, and she knows this deep down and refuses to admit it. Her favorite method of showing someone she likes them is to tease them mercilessly; "I wouldn't waste my time on you if I didn't think you were worth it" is her motto this way. And thus, her friends will often take this as a turn to tease her. And she can take it. She's a bit of a 'mommy', meaning that she tends to baby people when they get hurt or are upset. She often takes this too far, worrying, petting and babying the person until they're scared to death of her and just about ready to run away from her. She's a bit of a big mouth and tends to let her words get ahead of her brains; she could serve to learn from the saying 'Think before you speak'. She's also very set in what she thinks about things, and is always willing to cheerily give her view on a situation, whether she's asked to give it or not. She puts up the tough face, but if you have big, innocent eyes and a sweet smile, it's easy to wear her down and get her to listen to what you want her to do
As for her attitude towards life: the whole damn thing's a game, isn't it? Just a game. And since games are supposed to be fun, she's going to have fun with it and just go with the flow. ^_^
PERSONAL HISTORY(include family life): Not much to tell. She's a daddy's girl, just loves her father, and she and her mother get along pretty well too. She has a big sister, Lissy, who's married with a son, and a younger sister, Leah, who's boring and depressing. The entirety of her family is from Charleston, West Virginia, and her parents still have their mountaineer accent.
RELIGION: Agnostic Christian; they believe in God and Jesus but don't go to church or anything like that.
CRUSH/BOYFRIEND: Snitch. If he's unavailable, leave her single.
DOES YOUR CHARACTER SMOKE?: Hell no. She's a band student, yes? A wind player? Never would she smoke and ruin her lungs and never be able to play again.
ANY OTHER INTERESTING FACTS: She's been in the marching band (a piccolo player) ever since her freshman year and she's absolutely obsessed with it. The band is her pride any joy.
If you need anything else, lemme know! Good luck with your fic! ^_^
