    Both are Donna Noble from See The Light.

    What is your most important accomplishment to date? Surviving with the Doctor around!

    How would you describe your ideal job? My ideal job? Been there, done that, never going back. 100 words a minute now, mind you.

    What goals do you have? I...i'd like to visit the Moon. There you are, Doctor, next time you ask me, the Moon. Oh, and I'd like to make my Granda proud. Proud of me

    How do you plan to achieve these goals? I've just got to get in the Doctor's good books!

    How do you personally define success? Not dying.

    Describe a situation in which you were successful. Yesterday, when the Cybermen attacked Chicago, and it was me, not him that stopped them. Take that, alien boy.

    If you had to live your life over again, what one thing would you change? I'm not doing that again. Turn left! Not bloody likely.

    Would you rather work with information or with people? The Doctor's pretty much both.

    Are you a team player? I can be. If I want. Not that I usually do.

    What motivates you? My grandad, really. I always want to make it through, just so I can go and tell him all about it.

    Are you a goal-oriented person? No. If I want to do it, I usually do it.

    Tell me about some of your recent goals and what you did to achieve them. Like I said before, I survived. Ha.

    What are your short-term goals? See above.

    What do you see yourself doing five years from now? Probably still flying around with the Doctor in that spaceship of his.

    Where do you want to be ten years from now? Kids, maybe? I'd like to be married. To the right non-evil person.

    Do you handle conflict well? I've been told I get angry easily, but I can't recall ever...

    What major problem have you had to deal with recently? Almost being killed.

    -Amber Emmanuelle Waters
    - I am Currently 19.
    -Long really dark brown hair green eyes, stupid round face that makes me look like a little girl, a button nose, thin but almost perfectly shaped lips, I have big boobs. Yeah… that’s What I look like.
    -My speech patterns? I think I’m well spoken , often eloquent. When I’m being sarcastic my voice often drops, that’s how my friends know the difference between my sarcasm and seriousness.
    -Its called lying by omission. I do that a lot! But when I do lie, you can’t tell I’m an actress (well sorta) so yes I am an accomplished liar.
    -I’m quiet and unassuming. I look all sweet and innocent, but I’m really not. I do have a very animated face, I’ve been told I have some of the best facial expressions, although most of the looks that are “the best” when I’m disgusted, offended, sad or angry.
    -I get so pissed, but I used to yell and scream and rant a race, but not any longer, I get spiteful. I get extremely calm and say very mean and cold things, I go for the kill shot not superficial flesh wounds. Little things set me off without warning, sometimes people taking the wrong tone with me sets me off. I don’t really know if people are afraid of me. I mean I wouldn’t be I’ve never been in a fist fight before.
    -I try and avoid confrontation, and I get passive aggressive, and do mental warfare like with my exroommates I would do things porously to annoy them. I got a sick satisfaction out of pissing them off.
    -I don’t really have any power . I mean I like to think I’m a leader and independent, but with Lestat, he’s the one in my life with the power. I mean I shouldn’t speak so ill of my lover but he does have the power, he’s a vampire, he physically powerful, and mentally and emotionally powerful. He has money, and money is power. Oh I stand up to him and pretend that he as no power over me, and he likes my spunk, but we both know who hold the power not just in our ‘relationship’ but with everyone he encounters.
    -I’m the quiet and maybe a little weird but good girl.
    -I’m kind of weird as hell, but that really doesn’t come across in my appearance, I mean I don’t really open up to that weird side of me unless I know and trust you and very few people get to see that weirdness.
    - Well I’m currently in my first year of college, and I plan on getting my doctorate in History. I’m pretty book smart, and though I have enough common sense to get me by I really don’t have street smarts I was sheltered as a child.
    -What have achieved? Good grades in college, made amazing friends and found myself in love with a vampire who I thought was fictional. Not bad for one year out of high school not bad.
    -Well I’m from a small town in Ohio. But the past few months I’ve been bouncing between a Plantation in New Orleans and the Vampire Lestat compound near Monterey.
    -I live with Lindsey and the rest of the band and Lestat.
    -I am Lestat’s mortal love, like Daniel Malloy was Armand’s mortal lover. Saying Lestat is my boyfriend just sounds wrong. Then I have my mother, she’s the only blood family I have left and I would do anything in the world for her just as I know she would do anything for me.
    -That would be miss Lindsey Margret McKay. I met her the day we moved in to our dorms. I told her I liked her hair. Then we had a history class together and through our studying we soon became good friend, inseparable. We are both insanely loyal and we just fit together as friends. And we both have trouble making friends… especially with other girls. I love her and I don’t know what I’d do without her.
    -I don’t really have enemies, besides my ex roommates, and then my ex friends and Nichole the back stabbing two faced cun… not nice girl. I started hating my ex roommates from the moment that I started talking to them on Facebook. And my ex friends when I got so stuck up the ass of my ex boyfriend Nate.
    -Matt, he’s Lindsey and I’s other friend, he’s like our best gay guy friend but he’s straight. I used to have such a crush on him. And then there are the band members. But the only four humans that mean anything to me are my mother, Lindsey, Matt and though I would never admit this to anyone Nate. I would turn to my mother or Matt.
    -I already dealt with Nates betrayal. I don’t see anyone else betraying me.
    - Lindsey, if she betrayed me I think I just might die, it would break my heart, almost as badly as Nate did.
    -I’m sarcastic, cynical, spunky, loyal, ridiculous, fun loving. I tend to over think things. And the few people I love, I love with a fierce passion. I’m driven. I’m perfectionist. Lazy, and I don’t face my problems, I ignore them. You can pick the good and bad out of that.
    -This goddamn round face I still get carded when I buy cigs and NONE of my friends do.
    -My inability to face my problems, or my spoiled bratness. I blame, my grandma, mom and now Lestat for that.
    -Honest to go I don’t know what makes me likable. Maybe its cause I’m kind of funny some times and I’m just easy to get along with.
    -I think that I’m kind of annoying. I’m always afraid that I’m going to annoy Lindsey, as were always together especially now that we’re traveling with the band together but I’ve been assured that I’m not annoying.
    -I like friendly sarcastic people. Other spoiled brats and I do not get along, ex roommates point and case.
    -Despite all the tragedy and death, its been happy. I’ve always been loved, and my unwillingness to face my problems helped me not dwell on that pain.
    -The car accident after graduation and holding Emily while she died.
    -Meeting Lestat.
    -I love my material items, they do make me happy, but I know there are more important things in the world.
    - Its not my success, everything I have was a gift from Lestat. I don’t really have any success of my own. I just looked pretty and caught the attention of a vampire. But like I said I plan to teach history at a college level one day.
    -My surroundings? Again they are extremely posh, but I haven’t paid for them or the clothes on my back. I could say no but I don’t want to I like getting the expensive gifts does that make me a bad person?
    -Oh no there so much that I have left to do in life. That’s what I told Lestat when he asked me to become a vampire, I have too much left in life to accomplish before I can accept the dark gift.
    -Oh yes I’m touring with the band The Vampire Lestat. I’m dancing again. I’m in love. Its been a good change.
    -I could go on like this from now on.
    -Getting that Doctorate in History and keep going to school, and maybe dancing in the Royal Ballet.
    -For being a principal dancer in the Royal Ballet? My boobs. I’m not thin enough to dance professionally, and there’s not much I can do about how I’m built. And there is nothing standing in my way of being Dr. Waters.
    - I’ve had an easy life, I’ve never really faced any obstacles.
    -I’m a damn good ballet dancer, that about my only talent, I can write, and act a little.
    -I want my mom to be proud of me.
    -If I’m not automatically good at something I quit it.
    -Mom, Lindsey, Matt, Nate, Lestat.
    - I think the same as whom I would die for.
    -People I love. I have the kiss of death, and lots of people I love die. And my freewill. I need my freedom. I need to be able to think for myself.
    -The fear of not having tried everything.
    -I’ll chill with Lindsey. And spend the night with Lestat and hope for an exchange of blood. Oh the blood of a vampire there is no greater ecstasy.

    -Love
    -stupid people.
    -I lost my friends.
    -Smiling and sweet talking.
    -I don’t work through my problems I ignore them.
    -lie
    -are friendly.
    -to figure out if and when I’m going to give myself over to Lestat.
    -drive that porche!
    -get my book published.
    -“Seize the day cause tomorrow you might be dead.” –Buffy the vampire slayer.

    ‘street smarts’ or ‘book smarts’?
    I have a Masters degree in Marketing.

    Part of me wants to be in a relationship and start a family and all that, but part of me wants to stay single and enjoy what's left of my youth.

    _ Who is your best friend? (If you have one). When did this relationship
    start? What makes you friends?

    I wouldn't know.

    _ Is there anyone you would not expect to betray you? How would you
    feel/react if they did?
    I wouldn't expect Audrina to betray me just because we've been friends for so long. I would probably flip out and cut her out of my life.

    _ How would you describe your personality? What are your best points &
    assets? What are your flaws or weaknesses?
    I'm a pretty laid-back, chill person. I also try to get along with everyone and not judge people, but sometimes I can be a little judgmental. I'm really quick-tempered. I'm a perfectionist and I get stressed way too easily.

    And how do you plan to achieve it?
    I want to be successful financially, and I want a happy family.

    _ What are the likely obstacles to your getting what you want? How do you
    plan to overcome these foreseeable obstacles? What might be the likely
    result of your actions?

    How did you overcome them? What were the consequences of the actions

    My silly impulses.

    _ What are your speech patterns like? Can you think of someone on TV or

    I hate confrontation. I enjoy winning a fight, but hate starting them.

    _ How much power do you wield at home, in the workplace, and in social
    situations? Are you the quiet “power behind the throne” type or do you
    wield obvious power? Or do you feel powerless? If so, why – and what
    might be the catalyst to make you change?
    I'm kind of normal. People come to me for advice and guidance, but I never deliver.

    _ What (in your opinion) would be the first impression most people get when
    they meet you?
    Nice guy. A little weird, but nice.

    _ In your case, is ‘what you see is what you get’, or do people sometimes
    make the wrong judgment about you? If so, why would this be?
    A little of both.

    _ What is your level of education? Has what you have been obtained by
    ‘street smarts’ or ‘book smarts’?
    I have street smarts and book smarts. Although I think I have more street smarts.

    this is not a juvenile character)
    .....

    _ Where do you live?
    Massachusetts

    I live with my family.

    _ Are you in a relationship, or part of a family?
    Family, yes. Relationship ... eh, you could call it that.

    _ If yes, are you happy or discontented in the relationship / this family?
    Pretty happy although my dad is kind of a jerk.

    _ If no, would you like to be in a relationship / part of a different family?
    Tell me why/why not?
    No. Even though they are a little stressful, I love my family and I'm pretty happy where things are going with my "relationship".

    _ Who is your best friend? (If you have one). When did this relationship
    start? What makes you friends?
    Well, I have two. I met John when we were in grade school. Our mom's worked out together and we got stuck playing together. We still hang out and I think it's because we know each other so well and have become really good at tolerating each others weirdness.
    I met Petey in sixth or seventh grade because he wanted to show me a card trick. It worked and he continued to show me a hand full of other tricks. He's loads of fun and every group of friends has to have the slightly dorky one.

    _ Who is your enemy / who do you dislike most? Why? When did this dislike
    start, and why?
    I don't really have any enemies. Especially now that I've moved.

    _ Who else is in your circle of acquaintances? Who would you turn to in
    times of trouble?
    Ever since I moved, i haven't made that many friends outside of a few people. And Noah. I technically met him the day I moved in because our fire escapes are connected. I'd probably go to him if I had a problem. He seems like a great listener and really smart so he'd be able to give advice. I also think he plays for the other team, which is perfectly fine with me....

    _ If there is anyone in your circle that might betray you, who would it be?
    Probably one of the people I eat lunch with that I don't really know very well.

    _ Is there anyone you would not expect to betray you? How would you
    feel/react if they did?
    Petey and Noah. Petey doesn't have many friends so I'd be shocked that he betrayed his closest friend and I'd be shocked if Noah had it in him.

    _ How would you describe your personality? What are your best points &
    assets? What are your flaws or weaknesses?
    I'm pretty mellow when I'm alone but I'm kinda' out there and social around people. I'm kinda weird and open minded. If I had to pick my Deadly Sins, then I'd probably pick Gluttony, Sloth, and Pride. I consider myself a Christian, although I don't really believe in much other than a soul and a higher power. I'm nostalgic and have simple needs: food, music, and space to be an idiot.

    _ If there was one thing about your LOOKS that you could change, what
    would it be?
    I'd want to bulk up and I'd want my hair darker and shorter.

    _ If there was one thing about your PERSONALITY that you could change,
    what would it be?
    I'd be able to make up my mind more.

    _ What makes you likeable? Are you likeable enough for people to want to
    spend extended periods of time with you?
    i guess I'm likable because I'm agreeable and I "keep it real." Hehe. I don't like drama and all this fake shit.

    _ What makes you unlikeable? Is this a chronic problem or can you change?
    I can't make decisions and some people don't like what I believe. I'm sure I can change, I just haven't felt like trying.

    _ What type of people would like you, and who might not like you?
    I think anyone would like me if they got their head out of the clouds or their butt.

    _ Would you describe your life to this point as being generally happy, pretty
    average, or generally unhappy? Can you briefly explain why?
    I've had my ups and downs.

    _ What is the most traumatic thing that has ever happened to you?
    I almost drowned at the lake once and when I was little I found of what an affair was and that my dad had one.

    _ What is the best thing that has ever happened to you?
    My friends and my mom's blessing to do what I want with my life as long as I'm not hurting other people.

    _ How important are material possessions to you? Do you regard them as a
    symbol of your success, or a trap, or neither?
    Some items I am attached to simply because they're useful or they have sentimental value. Everything else is just tying me down. People and ideas are more important.

    _ How do your surroundings reflect your success (or lack of it) in life so far?
    They don't really reflect much so far.

    _ What do your surroundings say about you? (Your house, your car, your
    kitchen, your bathroom, your workplace.)
    They would say that I've just moved and that I'm too lazy to unpack.

    _ Do you feel that you have achieved all you are capable of in life? Or all
    that you want to achieve?
    I'm only a teenager so I don't think I've really even started living fully.

    _ Has your life changed in any way recently? If so, what brought on this
    change? Is it a change for the better or for worse?
    I've moved back home because my mom thought it would keep Dad at home. How that would work, I'm not sure. We're in his hometown so maybe he'll be more...I don't know. But I'm sure this is for the best.

    _ If your life has changed for the worse lately, what can you do to turn things
    around?
    Not really.

    _ Do you INTEND to change your life in the near future? If so, how and why?
    Yep. I intend to start being able to support myself and take some weight off of my mom's shoulders. I also plan to have a bit of a self discovery phase. Doing stupid stuff and fasting included.

    _ What is the most important goal in your life? (What do you really WANT?)
    And how do you plan to achieve it?
    To be happy and not to care about the modern age or what other people think of me.

    _ What are the likely obstacles to your getting what you want? How do you
    plan to overcome these foreseeable obstacles? What might be the likely
    result of your actions?
    I don't know. If my parents divorce then it might put a halt on some things.

    _ Have you faced any other obstacles to get to the point you are at now?
    How did you overcome them? What were the consequences of the actions
    you took?
    I've faced plenty. I didn't let family and money issues get in the way of school and my happiness and I didn't let leaving where I'm from take away who I am.

    _ If something were to happen to deflect you from reaching your goal, how
    would you get back on track? Who would you call upon to help you?
    Books, Noah, and probably some marijuana among other things.

    _ What particular talents or traits do you possess that will help you to get
    what you want? How might you influence others to help you?
    Not sure. I guess my willingness to try new things.

    _ What is the biggest thing motivating you to achieve / get what you want?
    As cheesy as it sounds, music and Noah.

    _ Name the character trait or personality weakness that is most likely to
    prevent you from getting what you want. How might you compensate for
    this?
    Indecisiveness. Setting a goal and having somebody sucker punch me every time I want to change my mind.

    _ Who would you die to protect?
    My family, Petey, Noah, and maybe not die, but be maned to protect anybody who needs it.

    _ Who would die to protect you?
    My family and possibly John.

    _ What is the thing you most fear losing in life? (This might be a person, a
    possession, or an abstract quality like ‘respect’, ‘freedom’ or ‘credibility’.)
    Myself.

    _ What drives you to do things you might regret later?
    Stupid impulses.

    _ What are you about to do right now – today? How is this relevant to what is
    important to you?
    I'm about to watch a movie or TV and I might go talk to Noah before he falls asleep. It's not really relevant, I'm just bored.

    _ What will you do next?
    Eat. Sleep. Wake up and do nothing all over again.

    _ Finish these sentences:
    The most important thing in life is individuality.
    If there’s one thing that makes me mad it’s stupidity.
    I would lose interest in life if everybody got along.
    I can usually get myself out of trouble by owning up.
    If I encounter a problem in life I work through it by avoiding it.
    I don’t like people who don't realize that they are unwanted.
    I like people who are unique.
    My most pressing need right now is air.
    One thing I’m determined to achieve in the next month is make some close friends.
    One thing I’m determined to achieve in the next year is find myself and somebody who appreciates that.
    My motto in life is: All you need is love.

    BASIC ATTRIBUTES

    Given Name:
    Charlene Micah Glass

    Nickname(s):
    Charlie, please and thank you.

    Appearance:
    - gender
    female
    - age
    23
    - height
    5'6
    - weight
    108
    - hair colour/style
    Black, short, messy. Ya know, just fucked look.
    - eye colour
    Gray/Light brown. My eyes are bipolar.
    - makeup
    Smudgey eyeliner if it's a special occasion, otherwise nothing.
    - clothing style
    Button up shirts, ties, jeans. Loose tee's. Incredibly tom boy.

    Race/ethnicity:
    Terribly white
    Physical abilities/limitations:
    I can swim, of that I'm certain. Can't do much of anything else
    Background
    To be honest, I can't remember anything since I was about six or seven years old. I don't know much about my own background, and I'm not sure if I even want to figure out where I began. But what I can tell you is that I come from a family who loves me - but for what they perceive. Which is all right with me, I suppose. Who am I to argue with their bible thumping homophobia? There are some things you have to accept. I was born in Texas and now I live La La Land. I much prefer California, but sometimes I think I'm just staying here for my girlfriend.

    FAMILY

    Religion:
    I'm Atheist, but my entire family is protestant
    Place of birth:
    Austin, Texas
    Place and time of story:
    I live in Berkley, California. It's just outside of LA, kind of near Hollywood a little bit. That's where the starlets who don't want to be seen as typical diva's live.
    Parents' profiles
    - race/ethnicity:
    Both of my parents are very white, I'm not very interesting.
    - socioeconomic level:
    I grew up poor, it makes me a better person. Thus, my parents have always been poor and relied in the "power of God" to take them where they needed to go. They're actually very classy , surprisingly.
    - religion:
    100 percent Protestant and they'd have it no other way.
    - habits:
    They tend to have a "habit" of going to church every Sunday and putting the CHRIST back in CHRISTmas. Their thing, right? (Right). They also have a "habit" of spending money that's not there.
    - quality of relationship with child(ren):
    It's distant, but in a way that makes us closer. We love each other deeply, but there are just some things we don't talk about. They love God and God frowns on the homosexuals, so we don't talk about that. I don't believe in God, and God definitely frowns on that, so we don't talk about that either. We have an established relationship, it just works.
    - living/deceased:
    Both of my parents are living. And I wish I could die before them. I'm awful at funerals and tend to turn into this monster who shoots down the people who talk about being in a better place. It would be ten times worse if it were my parents funeral.

    Brothers/sisters/significant-other relatives (profile each)
    I don't have any brothers or sisters. I guess I'm just boring, huh? But I can do my "significant other" as you call it.
    - race/ethnicity:
    I'm pretty sure she's french and asian or something. It's good she's not here, I'd be getting a talk on listening. But she was born in California, so I'm pretty sure it's safe to say she's American. But I do believe she has strong roots somewhere.
    - socioeconomic level:
    People love my girlfriend more than I do. Or at least, that's what I think sometimes. For a while she was writing pieces for magazines that were completely brutal and blunt about the way that we as a country and as a society live. Then she owned or managed a couple of gay clubs around California, which is what she was doing when we met. She lays low now, but she has enough money and popularity for us to be comfortable. Oh, and now she's talking about modelling!
    - religion:
    I'm pretty sure she's Agnostic...maybe I do need to listen more.
    - habits:
    She has a habit of being a little bit under my business...but I don't think that counts. She also has a habit of forgetting to clean up after herself and trying to tell me what to do. But, then again, she has that lovely habit of taking care of me.
    - quality of relationship:
    Uh...ya know...it's...kind of...a one way dependent street. She depends on me like oxygen and I stick around for just that reason. It's not a healthy one, I've come to realise that in the past couple of months. But we've been together for almost five years, and it's always been like this, mostly. She's got some stuff, but so do I. Her stuff is just a little more narcissistic and sociopathic than mine. I stay because she's said more than once that she would probably kill herself without me....and I honestly don't think she's joking. I feel like I am more responsible for her happiness than mine, ya know?
    - living/deceased:
    Quite alive
    Family structure/life:
    She's got a family that's kind of like mine. Except she's much more flamboyant and boisterous about her sexuality, and they are very clear on telling her that it's a disease. She hadn't always known she was gay like I have, she dated around a lot in college - with guys. I wasn't her first girlfriend, but I was her third.

    BRIEF LIFE STORY

    - What was their life like before the story began?
    In the past couple of months I've been trying to figure out these dreams i've been having. It's kind of hard with a new roommate and Olivia attached around my arm trying to be a trophy wife or something. But I've been trying to comprehend these dreams, only some days I really don't want to, because some days it freaks me out. I've also thought about going back to school or working at a restaurant my best friend, Tee, wants to open up.
    - What was growing up like for them?
    Growing up, I had always known I was gay. My first girlfriend? I was eight. I know, crazy. Yes, there are "gay" eight year olds. Haha, no, it wasn't real or anything. It was one of those innocent playground things before kids even knew what gay was. I spent my childhood years going to church, to be honest. That's all I ever really remember that I did all of the time, going to church and then to grandma's house for lunch of grilled chicken and rice. Every sunday. As I grew into a teenager, I picked up a sketch pad and started drawing, and I also snuck out a lot. My parents never approved of much that I was into doing, and they still say I need a real job.
    - Did they have a good or bad childhood?
    My childhood was good, what I can remember of it. Something tells me that something very bad happened to me as a child, and myself as an adult is just blocking it out. And I do believe it has something to do with my lack of ability to trust people easily.
    - What struggles have they had, or hardships they have overcome?
    A starving artist was I for a long long time. I didn't go to college or university, not even Jr. College or something like hairdressers school. I just lived in a studio apartment and made art out of silly things I would find in the trash or I would mangle a house hold appliance and use that in my art. There was a time when I was poor, well, around that time, actually. I was also a little bit addicted to drugs and I did a lot of things I am not proud of to get money for said drugs. I did these things with my friend, Marcus, who died of an overdose. I was only 17 when all of this happened, but I've lived on my own since I was 17. Ah, 17 was a very busy year.
    - Has their life worked out like they expected?
    No. I figured by now I would be in the same place I was, sans the drugs and shady acts. I used to be a bit of a player (okay, more than a bit), but now I'm all tied down with a seriously heavy ball and chain. Not how I expected my life to be, but it will have to work.
    - Has their life been difficult or easy until now?
    The majority of nearly everyone's life is suffering. That's the cold, hard truth. My life is not terribly easy now, I make a lot of sacrifices for Olivia, but something inside of me enjoys taking care of her - or at least feels like I have to. As I said, I was a starving artist until Olivia decided to take care of me. Life's never easy, not for anyone. It's not easy, but it is my life. And I almost like it just how it is. It's filled with great people that I love. I do love Olivia, I'll clear that up now.
    - Were they forced into their current path, or are they here by choice?
    It might sound as though I was forced, but I choose everything I do.
    - Do they have regrets?
    I try not to believe in regrets, it's not healthy. But I regret a little bit not going to school.
    - What special circumstances have made them into who they are today?
    Meeting Olivia made me into, well, her partner! Meeting Tee made me a much better, happier person who is more willing to feel a little bit more. Marcus' death helped me get of the drugs, which of course makes me a healthier person. Selling all of my artwork that I made up until I was 17 made me happier, and more free since I wasn't tied down to the mostly drug-induced workings of my young life.
    - Did anything happen in their past that they cannot forget or live down, or that has deeply changed them or scarred them in some way?
    Oh, I know something has happened. And it's definitely scarred me, but I can't remember what that something is.
    PSYCHOLOGY

    Outer Goal (physical):
    Help Tee get that restaurant up and running.
    Inner Goal (psychological/emotional):
    I want to figure out what it is that's been eating at me, and I'd also like to maybe fix my relationship with Olivia. It's not...right...a little broken.
    Defining characteristic:
    How carefree I am, maybe? I'm incredibly relaxed and not much surprises me. I also am very loyal to my friends (although it's hard to remain that way towards Olivia), and keep their secrets tucked away safely.
    Hopes/desires:
    I desire a lot of things. Lust is responsible for that, but I feel dangerous and awful just thinking about it. I hope to fix my relationship with Olivia so perhaps we can both be happy. But what starts in chaos, ends in chaos....so I'll tell you how that worked out, later.
    Fears/phobias:
    I fear the past greatly, I fear my dreams. Phobias? Well, I think those are kind of silly.
    Dirty Secrets:
    About two years ago, I cheated on Olivia with this girl I met at one of her clubs then. I felt just awful, but dammit, it was almost worth it. She still doesn't know, only Tee does, and I'm surprised she's kept her mouth shut for three years.
    Introvert or extrovert?:
    Mostly extroverted, I do like people. But I don't trust them very much, so I'm introverted in that way.
    More thinking or feeling?:
    Definitely feeling. I act on impulse, and I strongly believe we don't know what will happen to us until it happens.
    What do you see is the biggest contradiction(s) your character lives out?:
    Perhaps my relationship that does not fit well, and my obvious and blatant difference in my morals and my parents.
    Tends to be self centered? Selfish? Selfless?:
    I'm trying so hard to be selfless, but sometimes when desire and impulse get in the way, I'm the opposite.
    Favourite and hated foods/drinks:
    I drink beer on social occasions, I don't like those fruity alcoholic drinks that are overly sweet. I don't drink soda or water much, and the only milk I drink is soy. As for food, I'm not terribly picky. But a lot of the food in Berkley is a little frou frou and, well, odd.
    Education or important learning experiences:
    Education? High School. I don't tend to learn much from my mistakes, it's either a curse or something psychological.
    Most hated activities:
    Cleaning up after Olivia, abstaining from sex, and working out. That would have to be it.
    Most enjoyed activities:
    Going out to clubs, relaxing at home with Olivia, sex. (Well, obviously. And no, I'm not a sex addict), drawing/making art, swimming.
    Deepest secret or wildest fantasy:
    Why don't we at least try and keep this PG-13 and skip the whole "wildest fantasy" thing.
    Sense (or lack!) of humour: what makes your character laugh?
    I have a dark sense of humour, and sarcasm that isn't overdone definitely makes me laugh. I also tend to make just one dirty joke when I play cards with my friends, "liquor in the back, poker in the rear"
    Who is your character's hero, or who do they admire or emulate?
    As shocking as it is, I admire Olivia a great deal. I don't wish to emulate her, but I do admire how sure of herself she is despite how awful she can be.
    PHILOSOPHY & MORALITY

    Attitudes toward:
    - self
    I'm just confused about myself. I have no idea.
    - others
    I put myself out there as completely calm, cool, and relaxed.
    - friendship
    I'm very loyal to my friends. Never do I share a secret, and I take my friendships very seriously. The only enemies I make (usually) come out of people who mess with my friends.
    - sex
    Sex is healthy, and I don't think anyone is really sex addicted. I love sex, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.
    - love
    Love, oh, what a silly thing. It's necessary for some, and I think it's necessary for me at this stage in my life.
    - family
    You love your family, no matter their beliefs. It's silly to let anything come between you and your family.
    - marriage
    That makes me laugh a little, I'm sorry. Marriage? It's not legal for me yet, and I'm not such a .... heterosexual lesbian, if that makes sense?
    - country
    America is definitely not as great as Europe. It's just not a great country, but it's much better than some of the others
    - the world
    I hardly ever think about the big world. It's a large one, and I don't think I have enough time to think about it very much.
    - religion
    I'm not very religious, but religion belongs within itself. It shouldn't interrupt relationships or decisions on first impressions.

    Political philosophy:
    - conservative/traditional/ liberal/radical:
    Liberal
    - public causes supported/protested:
    I protested on the whole Prop 8 thing. I protest a lot against censorship, since most of it's not needed. Bible thumpers hate me.
    - politically active/apathetic:
    Eh, ya know, I vote. I go to rallies.

    Superstitions?:
    I don't have any of those.
    Catchphrase that defines their worldview? (examples: "What goes around comes around." "Live fast, die young, and leave a beautiful corpse." etc.):
    "Don't think, just do. Boy, but that gets me in a lot of trouble.
    LIFE & LIFESTYLE

    Closest friend(s):
    Tee, for sure.
    Job/career/occupation:
    She is a chef!
    - Attitude towards job:
    She loves her job, of this I am certain. Which is why she wants her own place, where she can serve her own food with her own recipes.
    Noted accomplishments:
    Probably getting over so many lost loves, for everyone seems to just go away with her. Also, getting up from being a sioux chef to head chef was great for her.
    - Famous/infamous?
    Oh, neither, really.
    Clubs/organisations belonged to:
    About every LGBT organisation out there.
    Favourite music or group/favourite TV shows or films:
    Tee listens to a lot of indie, and also a lot of mainstream. She watches TV shows that belong on a 14 year olds television. (One Tree Hill and Gossip Girl, for example.) Her taste in films is a little better.
    Hobbies:
    Cooking, gossiping

    HOW WOULD YOUR CHARACTER REACT TO...

    - Inheriting $1 million:
    Hmm, "WHAT THE FUCK am I supposed to do with this shit?"
    - The death of a loved one:
    That would tear me to pieces, even I can break down and cry. But Olivia would be there to pick up the pieces, you can believe that.
    - A natural disaster: hurricane/earthquake, etc.:
    Earthquake? Used to it. The others...well, shit.
    - Being fired:
    I wouldn't care much, I have art to fall back on. And that's what I do currently is sell my work to local gallery's.
    - Meeting an old friend or enemy not seen for years:
    If it were a friend, we'd probably go out and get drinks. If it were an enemy, I would probably feel a little awkward and try to be friendly, as I don't hold years-long grudges.
    - Having or raising children:
    Holy shit, I would be an awful mother. Don't even bring that up, Olivia might here no matter how many miles away she is. And I don't want her having any ideas about sperm donors and conception.
    - Being raped/mugged/violated in some way:
    Let's just....skip this, okay?
    - An unexpected kindness or compliment:
    A simple, thank you. I consider myself humbled, or I can at least act it.
    - A serious illness such as AIDS or cancer:
    You know what I would do? I would hit the town and live out my last days alive with stride. I'm not a very practical person, I know. But if I had cancer, I would totally shave my head before they even gave me chemo.
    - A flat tire on the expressway:
    "Oh fuck". I'd feel a bit like a jackass, but it's not as though I can help it.
    - An interracial relationship:
    I've fucked plenty of people who weren't the same colour as me. Relationships would be fine, totally and completely, but I'm in one and I don't usually do that kind of thing (relationships)
    - Five minutes on local or national TV:
    I'd probably say something towards Olivia, as it's obvious she would tell me to...boy, am I whipped or what?

    Physical abilities/limitations:
    I'm very graceful and agile. Not strong at all, though.
    Background
    My parents gave me up for adoption as a baby. They left me my first name, but not the other two. The couple that brought me up are distant relatives of my mother's side, but I've never bothered to look for my parents, really. My father is from India, and my mother from the U.S., like me.

    FAMILY

    Religion:
    We say we're Cristian, but never go to church and secretly I don't think much of God.
    Place of birth:
    Atlanta, Georgia
    Place and time of story:
    Weeell...We still live in Atlanta, but that's not exactly where the story takes place xD
    - race/ethnicity:
    My adopted parents are both caucasian.
    - socioeconomic level:
    Fairly wealthy, I guess.
    - religion:
    Been there, done thaat.
    - habits:
    Theirs or mine? I'm assuming theirs. None in particular. Mum's a bit of a neat freak, though.
    - quality of relationship with child(ren):
    It's alright. I don't confide in them much, but we don't fight or anything.
    - living/deceased:
    My adopted ones are definitely alive. I dunno about the other two, though.

    Brothers/sisters/significant-other relatives (profile each)
    Nope. There's Junie, though, my best friend since Grade 1.

    Caucasiaaan.
    - socioeconomic level:
    Average. Not as rich as us, but not poor either.
    - religion:
    Strongly atheist.

    Accidently glaring at people when she zones out. It's pretty great.
    - quality of relationship:
    We're everything best friends should be. Nothing will tear us apart.
    - living/deceased:
    Alive, last I checked.

    BRIEF LIFE STORY

    - What was their life like before the story began?
    I started high-school the day the story began. Mostly excited, preparing for lots of work and hanging out with Junie. We hung out with some other kids, too, but they changed every so often.
    - What was growing up like for them?
    Uneventful, really. That's not to say it was boring - it wasn't (I'm quite the dare-devil adventurer type )- but there were any huge crises or anything insanely exciting.
    - Did they have a good or bad childhood?
    Definitely good.
    - What struggles have they had, or hardships they have overcome?
    The thing about my parents has always bothered me a little bit, but being happy is just too tempting. I'm a spoiled 'lil brat. There hasn't been much to overcome, apart from the constant bullying. But what can I say? A guy who wears make-up and has pink hair tends to get that.
    - Has their life worked out like they expected?
    Don't be silly. I focus on the present, not the future. I have no expectations. They're a pain anyways.
    - Has their life been difficult or easy until now?
    Easy. Strange how I'm fairly unique in that.
    - Do they have regrets?
    Nah, not really. I always wish my parents hadn't abandoned me, but that's not one of my regrets, exactly. It's more like somethign I wish hadn't happened.
    - What special circumstances have made them into who they are today?
    My adoption, perhaps, and then Junie. No explanation needed.
    - Did anything happen in their past that they cannot forget or live down, or that has deeply changed them or scarred them in some way?
    Not really.

    PSYCHOLOGY

    Outer Goal (physical):
    Get back to normal earth and my lfie as it was.
    Inner Goal (psychological/emotional):

    2) Find a crush.
    Defining characteristic:
    How little I care about what everyone else thinks of me, and how childish and carefree I am, even compared to the shallow people.
    Hopes/desires:
    This goes with my goals.
    Fears/phobias:
    Food with eyes. Or faces in general.
    Dirty Secrets:
    Hmm. Well, I did kiss Drew in grade eight. Not for any particular reason. I was just curious. Junie doesn't really know, but I didn't think it was particularly important, so whatever.
    Introvert or extrovert?:
    Extrovert~

    Feeling. Thinking takes tiime.

    I like pretty much everything else, except for meat that looks bloody and seafood xD

    Most enjoyed activities:
    Anything fun and wild. Ooh, or climbing trees.
    Sense (or lack!) of humour: what makes your character laugh?
    Pretty much anything. I'm liable to erupt into fits of giggles at something not even the least bit funny.
    Who is your character's hero, or who do they admire or emulate?
    I don't really have any, I guess. I'm my own person~

    PHILOSOPHY & MORALITY

    Attitudes toward:
    - self
    I'm a pretty cool person. I like myself, I guess~
    - others
    I kinda shut myself out from the world. There's me, Junie, my parents, and then everyone else.

    Oh gosh. I'm not really sure. I'd ask everyone what they thought, I guess.
    - The death of a loved one:
    I...that's not imaginable to be.
    - A natural disaster: hurricane/earthquake, etc.:
    It could be interesting as long as no one got hurt or anything.
    - Being fired:
    Um, well, I'm not really working, so it would be kinda amusing.
    - Meeting an old friend or enemy not seen for years:
    It could be...interesting.
    - Having or raising children:
    Squeee~ I love children.
    - Being raped/mugged/violated in some way:
    Hmm. -head tilt- I wouldn't mind too much, I think.
    - An unexpected kindness or compliment:
    I'd smile, maybe wink, cursty, act happy and sweet in general.
    - A serious illness such as AIDS or cancer:
    I'd have fun. Do even more crazy things. Live my life.
    - A flat tire on the expressway:
    Heehee. Skip to town?
    - An interracial relationship:
    ...Well, considering I'm Indian and living in America - hard to avoid. I don't mind at all anyways
    - Five minutes on local or national TV:
    Wheeee! I'd say outrageous things and be weird.

    Gabriela Armstrong, Kathleen, unposted.
    Tell me about yourself. Well, I'm Gabriela Armstrong. I'm a sophomore at Skyline High School. I play volleyball and build sets for various drama productions. I love my friends to death. I want to back pack through Europe after I graduate high school and then join the Peace Corps.
    What is your most important accomplishment to date? Helping my volleyball team make it to State last year. That was so awesome!
    How would you describe your ideal job? Something that involves helping people and giving back to the community.
    What goals do you have? Get into a good college, help people, graduate high school, go to Europe, perform on stage, lean ten languages,and write a book.
    How do you plan to achieve these goals? Hmm. Do well in school?
    How do you personally define success? Living a good, comfortable life with a nice house and lots of friends and family.
    Describe a situation in which you were successful. When I made the JV volleyball even though I hadn't looked at a volleyball in a year or so.
    What accomplishments have given you the most satisfaction in your life? Earning the Rookie of the Year trophy and passing Honors English 9 (That was a hella hard class!)
    If you had to live your life over again, what one thing would you change? I wouldn't really change anything. I like my life the way it is.
    Would you rather work with information or with people? People.
    Are you a team player? Yes, definitely. I work better in a team than I do alone.
    What motivates you? My family and friends motivate me.
    Are you a goal-oriented person? Yes. I have a lot of goals that I want to achieve.
    Tell me about some of your recent goals and what you did to achieve them. (Is it me or was I just asked this?) Well, at the beginning of freshman year I didn't want to get involved in school and stuff, I just wanted to sit in the back of the class and doodle in my notebook. Then I decided that that life wasn't for me, so I joined student council and tried out for the volleyball and ended up being elected freshman class president, and I earned a spot on the JV volleyball team and passed all my class with an A average. So, yeah.
    What are your short-term goals? (Again, wasn't I just asked this?) Graduate high school, get into a good college, go to prom with Spencer, travel the world.
    What do you see yourself doing five years from now? I see myself in college, volunteering at a food shelter, playing with my band, and just chilling out and enjoying life.
    Where do you want to be ten years from now? Out of college with a degree, having some sort of job that makes me happy.

    We had a charity event a few months back and well it was a great turn out. We raised tons of money.

    I guess so, I work the best with Lucas. I always have and always will.

    Tell me about some of your recent goals and what you did to achieve them.
    We recently had a band played at this open mic night, and the guys from the band had been trying to get signed for a few years. They always played our open mic nights. And on this particular night, their amps bust and we didn't have any spares in, yet we suggested they carried on and play and acoustic set. They next week they came in and told us they got signed. They also told us, they were thankful as we kept putting up with them for a good few months and without our help they would have never got signed. It was never really a goal for us, but we help these for guys achieve a goal which we were happy to help with.

    What are your short-term goals?
    Right now, it is mainly family concentrated. I want my sister to do well in school and I want my dad to come out of this divorce with a smile on his face.

    Still working and maybe finding a place to settle.

    Where do you want to be ten years from now?
    Maybe with a family of my own.

    Do you handle conflict well?
    Between my siblings? Yes I do. But if it is between my mum and myself that's another story.

    What major problem have you had to deal with recently?
    My mum leaving us.

    Do you handle pressure well?
    Hmm, I can take so much pressure. So yeah I guess so.

    What is your greatest strength?
    I'd say look after people around me.

    What is your greatest weakness?
    Giving myself a hard time and putting a lot of pressure on myself.

    What were your favorite classes? Why?
    English. You could let your imagination run free.

    Is money important to you?
    With the business yes, but that's about it.

    How much money do you need to make to be happy?
    With the music venue, a steady good amount will keep me happy. But in general $5 would keep me happy.

    Will Amsdell of Brutal Perfection. Cute

    Tell me about yourself.
    Well uh, my names Will Amsdell. I’m 17 and I’ll be 18 in October. I was born in South Jersey, by the shore. And to be honest, I’m not really sure what to say here. I mean, there’s things I could say…But I think I’d rather keep them to myself.

    What is your most important accomplishment to date?
    I haven’t really had any awesome accomplishments…When I was in eighth grade, I was on the honor roll. I guess that’s pretty important, right?

    How would you describe your ideal job?
    I don’t know that I actually have an ideal job. I’ve never been able to hold down a steady job. I actually hate working all together, so I’d day my ideal job is to sit on my ass, get stoned, and make money for it.

    What goals do you have?
    To make a full recovery and make my mother proud.

    How do you plan to achieve these goals?
    I’m currently in a rehab for three-six months, so I’m hoping that will do me some good. Other than that, I’ll just have to attend those bullshit NA meetings and stay away from drugs, huh?

    How do you personally define success?
    Success is just happiness in my eyes. As long as I’m happy, I’m successful.

    Describe a situation in which you were successful.
    Oh, you got me on this one. Umm…I guess before I started doing pills, when I was younger I was decently happy. But we all are, aren’t we? That’s the beauty of being a child, we’re naïve.

    What accomplishments have given you the most satisfaction in your life?
    Like I answered earlier, I haven’t had any great accomplishments. I’d be lying if I said I’ve done anything satisfying in my life.

    If you had to live your life over again, what one thing would you change?
    I would never pick up a joint, bottle, or pill.

    Would you rather work with information or with people?
    Maybe with information, I’m not the best in social situations…Never was one to have many friends, unless they were stoners anyway.

    Are you a team player?
    I guess. I mean, I don’t really know.

    What motivates you?
    My mom. I just wanna make my mom happy again.

    Are you a goal-oriented person?
    I don’t know, I don’t have many goals. So, maybe?

    Tell me about some of your recent goals and what you did to achieve them.
    My most recent goal was to stay away from drugs for as long as I could. I never achieved that goal. Hence, my presence in rehab.

    What are your short-term goals?
    To make it through the withdrawal without absolutely dying.

    What do you see yourself doing five years from now?
    If I’m alive, you mean?

    Where do you want to be ten years from now?
    I’ve recently been thinking that if I make it through all this and am able to recover, I’d like to get my GED. And maybe, in ten years from now I could be an educated, successful man with a happy life. That’s all I really want.

    Do you handle conflict well?
    Not really. I don’t like confrontation, drama, fighting, or anything like that. I much prefer to just be alone with a bottle of pills.

    What major problem have you had to deal with recently?
    Checking in to rehab and saying good bye to everything I know.

    Do you handle pressure well?
    I guess, I mean as well as the next person. I’m definitely not fond of being under pressure. But I’d like to think I handle it well, you know?

    What is your greatest strength?
    I honestly don’t know that I have one, as fucked up as it sounds.

    What is your greatest weakness?
    I just…I’m just so hopeless. I could sit here and name all my weaknesses, but when it comes down to it, I’m just so lost in my own mind.

    What were your favorite classes? Why?
    I didn’t have one; I barely ever went to school. I was too busy.

    Is money important to you?
    It was.

    How much money do you need to make to be happy?
    That’s part of my problem, really. I don’t want to need money to make me happy anymore. I just want to be genuinely happy.

    What is your most important accomplishment to date?
    Not drowning after Oliver pushed me off the ledge and into the water. I was terrified, but he helped me get over my fear of water a little.
    How would you describe your ideal job?
    My ideal job would be at least enjoyable and pay enough for me to get by in life. I would prefer to be in the city, too.
    What goals do you have?
    I want to get over my fear of water and be able to tell people things without being terrified out of my mind or think that they'll blackmail me.
    How do you plan to achieve these goals?
    Not by having Oliver push me off another cliff. Maybe try taking baby steps in a pool - not another lake with a deep drop off. Therapy, for the confiding part.
    How do you personally define success?
    If it doesn't kill you, I'd say it's a job well done.
    Describe a situation in which you were successful.
    Again when Oli pushed me off the cliff - I didn't drown, so I guess it was successful. Or maybe the time I tried out horseback riding; sure, I got thrown a couple times, but I didn't die and actually had fun for a while.
    What accomplishments have given you the most satisfaction in your life?
    I think that learning to deal with the reform camp is what's given me satisfaction in life. The camp changed me for the better and now I actually have friends and people who know what's happened to me but still care about me.
    If you had to live your life over again, what one thing would you change?
    I change... nothing. I think that everything happened to me for a reason, and while there were a lot of bad times, they all turned out fine in the end - better, in fact.
    Would you rather work with information or with people?
    With people.
    Are you a team player?
    I'm a team player sometimes. I'm either all for the team or I don't want it at all. I'm rarely competative, but I do work better on my own.
    What motivates you?
    My friends, Oliver, Dr. Burg and my siblings. I'd never get by without them pushing me to get better.
    Are you a goal-oriented person?
    I don't usually keep my eye on the prize. I never wanted to work for something before now, because now I want to be as normal as I can manage. It takes a long time before I become goal-oriented on one thing.
    Tell me about some of your recent goals and what you did to achieve them.
    My most recent "goal" was to be able to tell Dr. Burg about what happened to me in the sixth grade; I just blurted it out, so, I didn't really do anything, I guess.
    What are your short-term goals?
    I don't have any. I know it's going to take years before I'm better, or before my fear of water is gone. Everything I shoot for is going to take a long time.
    What do you see yourself doing five years from now?
    I see myself living on my own, maybe with some friends and Oliver, and maybe going to school or working at a cafe or something. Of course, I'd still be in therapy.
    Where do you want to be ten years from now?
    I want to be free of my fears and nightmares.
    Do you handle conflict well?
    Not at all. I can't handle making big decisions and I hate fighting. I'm a people pleaser, so whenever I argue, I end up agreeing with them because I don't want them angry with me. Conflict is not my strong suit.
    What major problem have you had to deal with recently?
    Watching my brother's relationship with Maxine crumble.
    Do you handle pressure well?
    I handle pressure extremely well, actually. I'm so used to hiding and keeping secrets and wearing a mask that pressure can't make me crack anymore.
    What is your greatest strength?
    My greatest strength is being able to lie and say that I'm okay no matter how bad I really am.
    What is your greatest weakness?
    My greatest weaknesses are tied. One has to be the same as my greatest strength - I never want to tell anyone what's wrong when I can say I'm fine and they won't worry. The other is my fear of water; if I can't touch the bottom or see the bottom, I'll have a panic attack.
    What were your favorite classes? Why?
    My favorite classes are art classes, because it's easy to let out emotions into the artwork but I can say it's something else or someone could think it's something else. Math, too, because numbers and solid and definite.
    Is money important to you?
    Not really. I don't like to think I'm materialistic, but all I need is some clothes, food, water and the people I care about.
    How much money do you need to make to be happy?
    Enough to pay rent, for food and bills. Basically, enough to get by on.
