Family: Briefly describle family situation. No need to include names unless you want to.
Personality: Briefly describe who they are. Popular? Outgoing? Shy? Evil? Whatdo they like to do?

Age: 17

Occupation: Student
Appearance: [name_m]Messy[/name_m] red hair that usually down or in a long braid on the side of her head, eyes that change almost every day from sky blue to olive green to dark violet-blue. Freckles decorating her whole face. Very short, especially compared to her boyfriend who is 6’2". Her typical outfit is ripped jeans, a tank top, and scruffy sneakers.
Family: Oldest of five children, siblings are [name_u]Onyx[/name_u], [name_f]Mila[/name_f], [name_m]Jayce[/name_m], and [name_f]Cassia[/name_f].

They live with both their parents and she resembles her father([name_m]Markus[/name_m]) the most with his fiery red locks and light skin. Her mother ([name_f]Emilia[/name_f]) has darker features, but besides that they have everything else alike. The same nose, eye and mouth shapes, and the same temper.
Personality: She has little patience for all of her siblings, with the exception of [name_f]Cassia[/name_f]. She loves to draw in her spare time. She never cares about her appearance. Her mother scolds her for wearing the same outfit two days in a row, and for not bothering to brush her hair. She usually keeps to herself and it isn’t easy to gain her trust. Her boyfriend ([name_f]Blayke[/name_f]) is one of the only people she really trusts and cares about. With that, she is the most harsh with him. She loves being outside: she has a special place in the forest near her house where she can truly be alone and draw. She is very smart, but doesn’t like to draw attention to herself.
