BASIC ATTRIBUTES
Story:
Tracing Lines Given Name: Sabina-May Alyssa Lee.
Nickname(s): Sabina, Sab (friends only!), Liss (only one person has ever called me that, and no one knows where he is)
Appearance:
- gender: Female
- age: 22 (Born on the 17th August 1989)
- height: 5'2. I’m a short person.
- weight: I’ve never weighed myself, actually. I’m relatively skinny though.
- hair color/style: My hair is always black. I usually have it sitting quite choppy, but it never goes above my shoulders.
- eye color: Hazel
- makeup: Foundation and powder are a must, although not too heavy, and I usually stick on minimal eyeliner before I leave in the morning. Oh, and a neutral-looking lipgloss.
- clothing style: It depends. 90% of the time, I’m in standard protocol outfit. That means dress trousers, a white blouse and a blazer jacket. The rest of the time, I tend to wear leggings and oversized jumpers, unless I’m going out for the night.
Race/ethnicity: American/Korean.
Physical abilities/limitations: I’d like to think I’m pretty fit in the physical sense. I’m trained in multiple forms of martial arts, and I’d say I’m a pretty good fighter in most situations. Just don’t ask me to play tennis!
FAMILY
Religion: I’ve never really been one religion only. My mother liked to pick and choose what she believed in, and I guess I do too.
Place of birth: Washington DC.
Place and time of story: Washington DC, USA, 2011.
Parents' profiles
- race/ethnicity: My mom was American, my father was Korean.
- religion: Mom didn’t really have a religion, but my father was Catholic.
- habits: Mom used to smoke a lot. That’s all I can really remember of them.
- quality of relationship with child(ren): Mom was always so kind, we got along really well with her. My father was out a lot, however, so we hardly saw him.
- living/deceased: Mom was killed, my father disappeared off of the face of the earth. Who knows whether he’s alive or not. I gave up caring long ago.
SIBLINGS: Bronwyn Lee (sister), Antony Lee (brother), Jalana Clark (half-sister).
- race/ethnicity: Bronwyn and Antony are the same as me, Jalana is the typical all-American girl.
- religion: All Catholic.
- habits: I wouldn’t know much about Jalana. We’ve never gotten on. Bronwyn liked to smoke after Mom died. She said it reminded her of old times. I don’t know if she still does, though. Antony had a really bad habit of picking at his fingernails. I remember we had to take him to hospital once because they got infected.
- living/deceased: All living, or at least as far as I know.
Family structure/life: Life was fine until my parents got divorced. I was 10, Antony was 13, and Bronwyn was 17. Both of my parents re-married, and I got two brand-new sets of people to pretend to like. I lived with my mom, who married a complete tosser. We moved to New York. Then my mom was killed, they blamed my dad, and he and his new wife made a run for it. Bronwyn moved to France after that, and I haven’t seen her since. Antony stayed in New York, and I moved back to Washington. There really isn’t much else to tell.
Pets? : I had two dogs when I was younger. One was named Poppy, and she was a black lab. We had her from when she was a puppy, and I guess it was a present from my dad for hardly ever being there for us. Our second dog was bought a year after Poppy died, when I was seventeen. Her name was Midnight, another black lab. I don’t actually know what happened to her when I moved out. I miss her, I kind of hope she’s alright.
BRIEF LIFE STORY
- What was their life like before the story began? My lie was alright. I was a cop in New York for a few years. I was then offered a position in the FBI. Naturally, I took it.
- What was growing up like for them? Touch-and-go. It was fine until I was about 10. Then everything just went to shit.
- Did they have a good or bad childhood? Once again, it was good up until I reached 10.
- What struggles have that had, or hardships they have overcome? My mom was killed, apparently by my father. I guess you could call that a hardship, and technically, I haven’t overcome that yet.
- Has their life worked out like they expected? If you’d have told my fifteen-year old self that I’d be a police officer, I’d have laughed at you. So, no.
- Has their life been difficult or easy until now? Life is full of ups and downs. It’s never truly “easy” or “difficult”. You’ve just got to put up with the shit it throws at you.
- Were they forced into their current path, or are they here by choice? Choice, actually. I was always going to be a music teacher. I did one week of university, didn’t like it, and trained as a police officer. I could have turned down the FBI position, but it seemed like a good thing, so I took it.
- Do they have regrets? Not finishing university. I could have become a police officer after I got a degree.
- What special circumstances have made them into who they are today? I think the whole mess with my father inspired me. I always wanted to show him what-for, make him pay for what he did to the family. I guess that’s what still inspires me to continue on.
PSYCHOLOGY
Outer Goal (physical): I aim to be fit in every physical way.
Inner Goal (psychological/emotional): I guess my brain just wants the truth about what happened.
Defining characteristic: I’m a real hard-ass. I think that defines me. If you call being the “office bitch” a defining term.
Hopes/desires: I’m going to find my father, and I’m going to find the truth. I don’t know if he killed my mother or not, but I will find out. Or I hope I will.
Fears/phobias: I hate boats and water in general. Swimming terrifies me. And I hate flying.
Dirty Secrets: I worked as a bar-maid when I was in New York, and you wouldn’t believe the amount of guys that I fucked in the store cupboard.
Introvert or extrovert?: Extrovert, I’d say. I’m pretty sociable.
More thinking or feeling?: Thinking. Trust me, if I went by feeling, at least a dozen convicted murderers would have several rounds in their brain by now.
What do you see is the biggest contradiction(s) your character lives out?: I have to diffuse situations where people are angry at each other quite frequently, but with my temper, it could quite easily be me in the opposite situation.
Tends to be self centered? Selfish? Selfless?: My job is pretty selfless. I, however, think about myself before most people, so I guess my world is pretty self-centred.
Favorite and hated foods/drinks: I love curry, absolutely love it. I’ll drink anything that tastes good. I hate chips. Yeah, I know, I’m strange. And I really don’t like lager/beer. It’s too bitter for my taste.
Education or important learning experiences: My education went pretty alright. I was never any good at maths, or chemistry, or biology, but I loved the creative subjects. I did human biology, which I thought I was really good at. In my last year of high school I took two new subjects, criminology and psychology. I think it must have been around that time that I was changing my mind about what I wanted to be.
Most hated activities: Cleaning up crime scenes, anything to do with the male species, any form of paperwork.
Most enjoyed activities: Singing, playing any kind of instrument, dancing, and running around with a gun is pretty cool at times.
Deepest secret or wildest fantasy: My deepest secret is that my stepfather abused me for years. My wildest fantasy involves him and a meat grinder…
Sense (or lack!) of humor: what makes your character laugh? I’ll laugh at pretty much anything. My sense of humour, however, is really strange. I make jokes about things that other people usually avoid.
Who is your character's hero, or who do they admire or emulate? I’ve never really had many role models. I guess my boss, and previous bosses.
PHILOSOPHY & MORALITY
Attitudes toward:
- self : It depends on my mood.
- others : I generally like everyone, but some people in this world completely sicken me.
- friendship : Shouldn’t be wasted, and is an amazing thing.
- sex : Is also an amazing thing.
- love : Oh, please! I’ve seen enough in my lifetime to know what love does to people.
- family : The members of my family that I speak to mean the world to me.
- marriage : It’s nice for some, but I can’t ever see myself being in that position.
- country : I love America. However, I also love almost every other country on the planet.
- the world : Is a beautiful place, and I would love to travel it someday.
- religion : I’ve never seen the point in tying yourself down to one religion. I pick and choose parts from other religions. However, if I were to choose one with ideals closest to my own, I’d say that Buddhism has hit it on the head pretty good with their whole cycle of life.
Political philosophy:
- conservative/traditional/ liberal/radical: Politics really confuse me, so I’m not entirely sure.
- politically active/apathetic: Like I said, I’m not into politics. I do vote, however.
Superstitions?: I’d like to think I’m not, but if I see a black cat, I’m not likely to let it cross my path. And I read my horoscope like it’s the Bible.
Catchphrase that defines their worldview?: If you give to life, life will give back to you.
LIFE & LIFESTYLE
Closest friend(s): Harry. He’s my partner in (solving) crime, and he’s possibly one of the nicest people I know. And my cousin, Aimee. We live together, so I guess that would make us pretty close.
Job/career/occupation: FBI Special Agent.
- Attitude towards job: I wouldn’t go as far as to say that my job is my life, but I do treat it with great respect. It’s such an amazing job to have, even though it’s really hard to do at times.
Noted accomplishments: I helped bring down one of the most notorious rapists that Washington had ever seen. I’d say that’s a pretty big accomplishment.
- Famous/infamous? I’m probably infamous in the office for being a cold-hearted bitch, but seriously, who cares?
Clubs/organizations belonged to: I used to play the trumpet in a jazz band, if that means anything. And I’m currently learning Aikido, and that’s done in a club environment.
Favorite music or group/favorite TV shows or films: My favourite music group are Feeder. Their music is really amazing, and those guys were my musical idols when I was younger. I don’t watch T.V much, but I’ve developed an obsession with Criminal Minds lately. You’d think I’d be bored of that kind of stuff in real life, but I just can’t get enough. And I really do love Mulan as a film. I couldn’t even tell you why. I also really love P.S, I Love You. Just cause I said I don’t believe in love, doesn’t mean I can’t watch soppy movies.
Hobbies: I sing, and I play piano, bass, violin and guitar. I used to have a trumpet, but it got damaged when I moved back to D.C, and I played flute when I was younger. I also love drawing, and I’m currently teaching myself to speak French.
HOW WOULD YOUR CHARACTER REACT TO...
- Inheriting $1 million: I’d blow it all in a second, haha! Lamborghini Murciélago, here I come!
- The death of a loved one: It’s happened before, but I reckon I’d still be pretty shaken up now.
- A natural disaster: hurricane/earthquake, etc.: As long as me, or the people I care about, weren’t affected, it wouldn’t really bother me.
- Being fired: I’d be devastated. I love my work
- Meeting an old friend or enemy not seen for years: Ha, that happened when Antonio showed up again. I’d like to think that I kept my cool, but I know I probably showed how horrified I was.
- Having or raising children: I don’t ever plan on having children. Kids and me don’t mix.
- Being raped/mugged/violated in some way: One of those three has already happened to me, and it’s the most awful thing in the world. I’m still not over it completely, and I probably never will be.
- An unexpected kindness or compliment: I’d want to know what they wanted! Haha!
- A serious illness such as AIDS or cancer: I wouldn’t cope. I thought I was dying when I had the cold, so that would be one of the worst things ever for me. Also, trying to tell people I know and love would be virtually impossible.
- A flat tire on the expressway: That really wouldn’t surprise me, not with my car. I’d probably have to phone a tow truck, mind you.
- An interracial relationship: Race genuinely doesn’t bother me in the slightest.
- Five minutes on local or national TV: Been there, done that!
