Appearance:
For as long as anyone could possibly remember, the media has been the largest influence on mortals today. The current celebrities are the people who set what the “right” sort of appearance should be. In the 1950s, it was Marilyn Monroe with her platinum blonde hair, red lipstick and hourglass shape. During the 1990s, it was the teen stars who rebelled against everything mainstream, and rocked out with their grungy fashions, messy hair and strange make-up. However, as the world began to age, and it soon entered the 2000s, a new phenomenon came into place: body image. For the first time in years, starlets began the crazy diets, and made it a must-have to become thin. As the years passed, this obsession transitioned into the real world, and – eventually – people everywhere were obsessed with being tall, thin, having long hair and dressing like a star. But for someone like Kiran Slade? I am sad to say that she quickly became one of those following drones. The Earth’s population was diverse, sure. But everyone saw the outside way before the inside. Might as well make it worth their while.
She was never the person so stunning, that people actually stopped on the street to get a better look at her. However, she had never been cursed enough to be ignored, or stared at, just because she was so painful to look at. This girl never had the unique, high-fashion sort of face like Kate Moss. Nor did she have the classic beauty of Scarlet Johansson. She didn’t even have that look of Paris Hilton that left people wanting more. There were those people all around Valkyrie Academy. She was sad to say that she wasn’t one of them
It had become so common for females these days to define themselves by their hair, it’s astounding. But, really, what kind of girl hates to be commented on her mane? Usually, when you’re describing someone, it’s their hair. You say that she is blonde, or that he has brown hair. You can use your hair to, often, send out the sort of image you’d like to portray. For instance, if you are craving the 1950s sexpot sort of look, you would probably bleach your hair platinum, cut it into a chic bob and attack it with curlers. Maybe you’re after the posh and urban sort of hairstyle, which means a dark color in a long, straight style. Once, actually, internationally famous supermodel Gisele was overheard saying, “Never again [will I cut my hair]. Look at me. I’m famous for my hair and my boobs.” Even so, what kind of girl doesn’t spend time on her hair in the morning? Whether that means straightening it to wits end, spiking it up into a Mohawk or simply adding product, it would be something different for a female to walk out of her house without having done a thing to her hair. In all of the family photographs, Kiran Slade always had a long, flowing mane of thick, gleaming hair. It became common for people in her “world” to have long hair, cut into a basic style. So, for as long as she could remember, the psychotic woman her mother was ordered her to have such hair. It was like an unwritten rule of her household. Either way, she was never seen without considerable effort put into her hair. Whether that meant straightening it, blowing drying it into a wavy texture or curling the ends, this Australian girl had her own crown and glory. All girls need one, right?
It is natural for all parents to tell their children how physically attractive they are. Even if that child turns out to be uglier than a puddle of mud. For all of her life, everyone – even strangers – had doted upon her physical beauty. It would be cruel to say that she was strange looking. But she had never achieved that doe-like face that Kate Moss had. It was always, “oh, beautiful Kiran!!” or a wide grin as a greeting, and a soft “lovely Miss Slade.” But, all teenagers are insecure about their looks, right? Even though her family constantly commented on her attractiveness, Kiran had never been able to decide if she was beautiful or not. She looked good on film, yes, and was quite aware of that. She knew she was nothing difficult to look at – people had been complimenting her since she was six. But still, was her “girl next door” look with a defined nose the new form of beauty? Every other model she saw was so petite, so perfect. She didn’t seem to be the sexy and sultry beauty so many considered being best.
Since she was young, people had always assumed that she was older than she really was. Although, no one could ever tell her why. There was nothing about her face that made her look more mature. Hadn’t been born into a family of people with defined jaw lines, or prominent foreheads. Both of her parents, in fact, had a youthful glow to them. On her father, Edward, it simply reflected his forever young – and wild – attitude and nearly wrinkle-free face. On her mother, such a look simply gave away her obsession with youth, beauty and large amounts of both. Money included. Like a blonde Playboy Bunny getting into some old man’s pants for his cash. However, much of her family had the high, sharp cheekbones often associated with age. On Kiran, they were fairly defined, and very sharp, giving her an appearance of natural authority. You could say she was the spitting image Melinda Slade, with her soft facial features, sharp cheekbones and sly eyes. The only features she seemed to have inherited from her father were his thin lips and delicate facial structure.
People had always told her she was beautiful.
People had always said she was “unique” looking.
As confused as this Australian mate was, she could never help but gaze at her eyes when she looked in the mirror. Like many others, she was fond this part of her body. Her mother, Melinda, had been born with large – almost round – eyes that were the darkest mixtures of browns and blacks anyone had seen in a long time. Her father, Edward, on the other hand, had inherited his eyes directly from his own father. The narrow, almost almond shape that had been sent down to his youngest child. They too, were filled with the light, almost dizzying mounts of hazel coloring. But, as age continued to bind him down, they grew careless. Empty and stony. Like the bastard he was – impregnating a twelve year old when he was thirty. And then once more a few years later. Yet, Kiran had inherited her father’s common eyes. She did, however, seem to miss the caring that reflected upon them that her mother got whenever she looked at Addison. What a bitch.
Whether it be the California sun, the tanning salons on every corner, or that new phenomenon of spray-on tan, it is difficult to find a person attending Valkyrie Academy who was not tanned. Sure, a small minority of people were of ethnic backgrounds, giving them a various skin tones. But Kiran Slade was never part of that majority, nor the small minorities. There were a handful of people with skin so pale, it was practically transparent. There were even a few students with the skin tone of streaked sand: tanned, but with large clumps of white. For most of her life, Kiran’s skin had been flawless. As a child, it had gone through that terrible phase of constant dryness and rashes. As time passed, and she grew into puberty, she seemed to surpass that awful stage of greasy skin blotched with red, and covered with pimples. To this day, in fact, her flesh looks airbrushed, like in one of her photographs. Genetics or just luck? You decide.
She was a model, after all.
Blemishes are inexcusable.
Tell me the truth.
How often do you see a female walking around the Valkyrie Academy campus who wore anything above a size six? The media has always been a huge impact on teenage body image. And the ideal body image today is to be tall and thin with long legs and a flat stomach. More accurately, a size C cup, a twenty-four inch waist and round, but petite hips. In all honesty, who can say they have something like that?
Even at fifty-one, Edward Slade was a tall man – six feet on the dot, in fact. He was, however, built with the body a select few would want. With broad shoulders, a deep chest and thick waist, it was no wonder – ignore that fact that he took care of himself. Her mother, on the other hand, was a socialite; of course she had an enviable physique. Like both of her daughters, she was a tall woman. Standing at a respectable five feet, eight inches, her body was nothing like her height. She had the sort of body many amateur runway models aspire – and often die – to have. With long, thin limbs, a concave stomach and no chest for miles around. No wonder her father was attracted to a woman eighteen years his junior, from the age of twelve and on, her body never changed. Fucking pedophiles. As for Kiran, it was obvious at a very young age she was built nothing like her mother. Aside from inheriting Melinda’s height, she was what her mother commonly referred to her as “unhealthy and voluptuous in that fat sort of way.” What can I say? Kiran Slade was born with a fairly modest-sized chest, narrow torso and curved hips. None of this string-bean, skeletal nonsense. At a height of five feet, nine and a half inches, everything went well on her thin but curvaceous physique. Melinda Slade, you see, wasn’t the infamously famous model.
At Valkyrie Academy, the majority of the student body dressed fairly well. In slim cut pants, short skirts and trendy items. A handful of people dressed in skinny pants, black shirts and colored hair. Others wore nothing but sweat pants and sweaters. Some girls only dressed in argyle, pearls and flat shoes. A minority of people draped themselves in black, wore only turtlenecks with fedoras and trench coats. A select few only wear business-esque attire out in public: suits, button down shirts and dress pants. As for someone like Kiran Slade, she had always associated herself with the “in crowd”. Meaning the trendy clothing, perfect hair and impeccable make-up. None of this converse and colored hair business. A model who is popular – what a surprise. Look for cigarette jeans, spike-heeled shoes and trendy silhouettes. All done effortlessly, of course.
Personality:
[+] The Good ;;
ox. remember, loyalty lies above all else.
ox. remember, loyalty lies above all else.
For someone like Kiran Slade, she had never gotten the chance to form regular relationships. Had never been given the chance to make friends slowly, and maybe – just maybe – make a friend to gossip with, having sleepovers with and to talk on the phone with. The friendships she made while in Noosa Heads, Australian were made hard and fast. The ones in Sydney were made even faster – but they all taught her something. You were lucky to make friends, at all. And she was someone who liked having friends, many of them. Even if that doesn’t happen? Miss Kiran had been born as someone who wanted to keep the friends that she did make, until something better came along. But, when you’re thirteen years-old and a model, friends are limited. Might as well be loyal to the ones you have, and fuck over the rest. Friendships in the modeling world are the single things that aren’t ruled by appearances; make a good, modeling friend and you’re set for life.
Might be good to remain loyal like this Slade, eh?
ox. but don't read into her kindness too much.
Okay, okay – I admit it.
Valkyrie, California is home to more than a few beautiful, blonde bitches. What can I say? The city of dreams happens to be where the vicious of them all like to swarm. Kiran Slade is no real exception to that unwritten, and fairly sinful, rule. She was mean. She was nasty. And she was outspoken. Just like ninety-five percent of her classmates attending Valkyrie Academy. Surprise surprise. But – she’s different. Ever heard of the word kindness? Unlike many of her beautifully bitchy counterparts, Miss Slade knew the meaning of the word kindness. Not to say she was nice. Being nice gets you no where in life, after all. However, Kiran had always been the sort of girl to look at her victims once she was finished with them. Instead of leaving someone beaten, bleeding and crying in a ditch at the side of the road, she would get them beaten, bleeding and crying first; only to return once more to bring them out of the ditch. Kind to the homeless when no one is watching. Gentle with children. Helpful to them old folk.
By no means, is Kiran Slade nice. Being nice to people who don’t deserve it is like bombing for peace or fucking for virginity. It’s just not done. She’s kind. Not nice.
ox. and confidence makes all the difference.
People say it takes a great level of self-confidence to strut your stuff in front of hundreds and hundreds of people on the runway, often wearing next to nothing. What if the designer finds out I cheated on my diet? God, Angelina Jolie is in the front row! Will she notice that this bathing suit isn’t my size? Oh my god! What if that creepy photographer is there? I couldn’t strike a pose with him in the room, and now they want me to look hot but innocent on – what seems to be – a mile long runway? Fucking forget it. And these shoes? I stumble in two-inch heels. These are four and a half!
Truth be told, Kiran Slade had always been a confident girl. Why shouldn’t she be? People complimented her endlessly; she had always had an abundant amount of friends; her body was something people often envied; she passed school easily…what was the problem? No problem here. By nature, she had self-esteem levels that were off the charts. As she grew older, became a successful model and blossomed into something she loved, it only turned those levels onto overdrive. So, yes, it does take high levels of self-confidence to strut your stuff in next to nothing. Just you try it.
Overall, this Slade was the confident Slade. None of this dressing modestly wish-wash. None of the silence and shyness that her sister emulated so well. One of these girls has to be confident and beautiful. Might as well let the beautiful one be the confident one.
[+] The Bad;;
ox. you're one cunning, two-faced bitch.
ox. you're one cunning, two-faced bitch.
There comes a time in every girl’s life where she has to screw the high road, right? Instead of ignoring everything, she has to get down and play dirty. Play for keeps, if you will. At the tender age of fourteen, shortly after she was pushed into the Australian modeling scene, Kiran had played dirty for the first time. Normal, whatever. Except, we have a problem here, Houston – she liked doing it. There’s something oddly empowering about seeing people struggle under your wrath, just because you have a slight advantage over them. But, like all things, there is a dark side: the parentals. They have the power to bust your ass for being the California bitch you were born to be. But, how do you think half of Valkyrie’s A-listers get by with their squeaky clean status in the eyes of the adults? Two-faced liars, they are.
Unfortunately, so is Miss Slade here.
For the past four years of her life, Kiran was just like every other girl – a bitch at heart. Whether that meant outright picking on someone, hazing, breaking up relationships…whatever it be. We have another California bitch who finds the time to sleep with the football team on Saturday, party like a whore on Friday and, by Monday, be a pretty little virgin Mary again. Cunning, two-faced bitch.
ox. even if you are too vindictive.
For most of her life, Kiran Slade had been number one.
The most popular girl in school, the first person picked in Elementary school for kickball teams, the person invited first to the grade eight slumber party – everything she had ever done, she was first. Number one. The best. The go-to girl. So, who wouldn’t become accustomed to everything being easy? Especially in a new environment. But really, how kind is the world? Not so much. From the moment she stepped through Valkyrie Academy’s front doors, everything was different for this Australian beauty. Her former spineless nobody, Bailey, was stepping up to the plate and declaring Valkyrie her own: something different and shocking for Jade and Kiran, the former leaders of Australian popularity. By nature, Kiran was a possessive and competitive being. She was someone who hated to lose, sans her being number one for so long. After seventeen years of being the best model, the prettiest girl and the more popular daughter, she intended for it to stay that way. Enter a new personality trait: vindictiveness. Revengeful. Spiteful. Whatever the hell you want to call it, it was what became of Miss Kiran over here. She hated to lose, after all.
It began to ruin everything.
Revenge is best served cold, after all. And this model is someone who likes a lot of it. Fuck those silly diets.
ox. just keep it without betrayal and tears.
She’s vindictive and cunning.
Filled to the brim, and often bursting, with outspoken confidence and bitchy remarks.
Living life in the fast line, taking out anyone who gets in her way.
But everyone has their tragedy, right?
What goes on in front of the camera, and behind the scenes are often too very different things. Especially in the modeling world. Whoever thought that models were pretty, happy and friendly when the lights went down are very, very wrong. Shame. Many Valkyrie students are scarred by sexual abuse, alcoholism or pregnancies – unfortunately for Kiran, she had never been tainted by anything that…sophisticated. No, her life had been consumed by three simple, teenage things: parties, popularity and photographers. Everything was done in order to make her an icon in the fashion world, and nothing else. Who wouldn’t begin to crack under the pressure?
The pressure to be thin.
The pressure to land the best photographers.
The pressure to be the super-human everyone envisioned supermodels to be.
If you call dangerous dieting, sleeping with a fifty year-old producer – not to mention her father once, and getting into catfights tragedy. Then yes, this one is just as damaged as the next beautiful legend. Lost friendships, cheating boyfriends and pressuring parentals. Scarred by betrayal and tragedy – sex anyone?
