CHARACTER PERSONALITY ,
the more we move ahead the more we're stuck in rewind[/color]

DISLIKES: being treated like a little girl, feeling left out, doing nothing, spiders, bitter foods, always being the "good" girl, drugs, violence, people that don't do anything successful with their lives
FLAWS: Bella is easily influenced by others; meaning that was the reason why she's following closely to her older sister's footsteps. Another thing is that she's confused about who she is personality wise and it's causing her to be lost about who she is and if that's how she wants to be.
HABITS: whenever Bella is stressed about something she's typically going to go smoke to calm her nerves which thankfully works, whenever she's worried she tugs at her hair and fiddles with her fingers; anything that will keep her moving and it helps her think more clearly.
SECRETS: If there's one thing that people don't know about Bella it's that she's still a virgin. As much as that sounds shocking it's true. Hell, she even feels a little awkward when someone tries to talk to her about sex if they stick to the subject long enough. Lastly a secret that she doesn't know herself is the drug business that her father runs in Mexico.
BEST MEMORY: Bella's best memory would have to be when she first learned how to surf, just having that thrill of a wave heading your way sends chills down her spine every single time and she loves it. Bella wouldn't trade that moment for anything in the world.
WORST MEMORY: Watching one of her friends overdose and die in front of her. Now it wasn't just her and her friend alone, it was at a house party she went to and one thing happened after another. Now Bella didn't try the drug since she was still unsure about it but since then that happened she has hated any type of drug and anything that has to deal with them.
OVERALL PERSONALITY: If there was one word that can describe Isabella’s personality it would be; sweetheart. Or at least that’s what everyone from her family says. It would probably be because she’s thoughtful and often caring after others instead of looking after herself. She wants to make sure that any one of her friends and family are at least somewhat happy with their life. Almost constantly asking her family if they need her to do anything, asking her friends how’s things on her end, just things that are normal for her. Isabella is actually very easy to get along with; you could say that she’s a well rounded person. She doesn’t stick to just one group of people instead she hangs out with anyone as long as you let her. The only problem with that is that there are of course the “up tight” people that think just because they have a lot of money they think they can rule the world there for you either hang out with them or get the hell out, and that the less wealthy think that just about anyone that’s swimming in money is uptight and bitchy. So Bella does have her issues when trying to communicate with others. When people first look at her all they see is sweet girl that also has a bad side to her. As much as Isabella wants to say she’s a badass she can’t since…She isn’t one, she’s just the good girl that is slowly turning into a baddie thanks to her being in her sisters shadow. But other than her wanting to be the wannabe bad girl Bella comes off as a thoughtful sociable girl. If you get along with her she’ll get along with you, if you don’t like her then that’s fine; she doesn’t have time for childish acts. Bella surely isn’t going to cry and pout if one person doesn’t like her. She can’t change the way she is… Unless she wants to.
It’s hard to wonder why Bella is thriving to be like her sister, automatically people would think because she just wants attention; and that would be a small reason. In all truths Maggie is everything that Bella isn’t, beautiful, smart, confident, and so much more. It bugs Bella so much at how Maggie can do so many bad things and still remain her perfect self. She envy’s how she can do just about anything with ease when Bella on the other hand struggles or is just too scared to put it in action. You could say that Bella has low self-confidence in herself; and it’s true. Even if she does have the good girl aura she gets sick of it, she doesn’t want to be the sweet girl all the time she wants to be bad too! She wants to follow Maggie’s shadow and show everyone that she can handle anything that’s thrown at her and handle it calmly. But the little person in the back of her mind always drags her away from it constantly reminding her that if she did surely become the “bad girl” that Bella has always dreamed of people would turn away from her and she would lose all the respect she had from her family and friends. There are times when she’s often confused if she really wants to get rid of the good girl role since it does have it’s perks and all but that doesn’t mean everyone will be her friend. Already, people think that she’s just too good and think that it’s just plain boring. She wants to be a socialite and not be known as “Maggie’s little sister” she wants to be known as “the girl that everyone wants to be.” Or at least more popular than her sister.
Bella can be a girly girl with the heels and the whole three-sixty but she can also be a little sporty. If there is one thing that Bella loves to do that would be surfing and volleyball. Whether it’s her playing the sports or watching it on television she can’t help but to be a little childish when it comes to her favorite sports. You can say she’s just an active girl that doesn’t like to sit around the house. Just because she likes sports doesn’t mean that she’s a full on tom boy, she definitely has her points where she likes getting manicures and pedicures, shopping for endless amounts of clothes and buying things that she honestly doesn’t really need. She likes that she can put on a pair of heels and think of herself as pretty, it’s actually easy for her to be a prep and also be sporty at different times. There just random tendencies where she doesn’t want to mess up her hair and other moments where she just wants to go out and play in the sun all day. If she can’t play any sports or shop then there’s always partying. Instead of her being the wild girls that get drunk and goes off to have a one night stand with a stranger Bella is just there to have fun and remember it the next night instead of getting hammered. Most of her friends say that she needs to let loose more and as much as she tries she can only be the wild party girl half way she drinks a little but nothing to get her drunk and just lets the music carry her away. That being said Bella can be a risk-taking person if someone pushes her enough it’s more of her not thinking about the consequences only to get worried about it later on but for the most part it gets her out of her safe bubble so she thinks of it as a good thing.
With positives there must come negatives. The biggest one is that Bella is easily influenced by things around her, if someone convinces her enough you better believe that she will end up doing it; she she’s easy to manipulate too. The poor girl has been sheltered by her family so much that she doesn’t know how badly people can hurt her. She has no idea what the real world has in hold for her. Maybe it’s the fact that she’s just too innocent and needs to toughen up. Another thing would be she is very stubborn, if she doesn’t want to do something you better believe that she won’t She doesn’t like it when people try to make her do things let alone order her around. She’ll be her hardheaded self and not listen to a thing you have to say until you just let it go. If it comes down to her having to wait on something or someone you better be quick about it. She hates to wait for anything, if you aren’t fast enough then she’ll surely just leave you behind in dust. People can’t tell by Bella’s sweet attitude but she is a dishonest person. She likes to lie; it almost comes second of her breathing. If it gets her out of trouble best believe that she’ll keep up a lie till her teeth fall out. She wants to keep her good girl act and that’s that only thing she can do. She doesn’t want to be looked down at by anyone.

OTHER:
✖ Maria Francesca Montenegro//step-mother, thirty-two, housewife
✖ Paulina Raquel Barros Corinthos//step-mother, deceased
LIVING SITUATION: currently living with both her sister and brother Maggie Corinthos and J.r. Corinthos.
HISTORY: There's no doubt about it that Isabella is the sweetheart of the Corinthos family, the good girl, the innocent one. Ever since Isabella was born anyone could tell that she was daddy’s little angel, always listening of what to do and what not to do, making sure that she wasn’t doing anything bad and even tried to look after everyone else despite that she was third youngest out of five siblings. Living under the same roof with brother’s and sister’s was a huge hassle to get pass, especially if they weren’t fully related to you. But that didn’t matter to Isabella because she considered all of them to be her full brother and sister’s without being hesitant (she was lucky that she had a biological older sister).Her dad was the type to go sleep around with different woman so she wasn’t that surprised that he ended up having so many kids. In the end he always looked after Bella constantly being very protective over her.
As Isabella got older the more things started to confuse her more with her father’s job. There was countless times where her father would be talking about things that she didn’t understand at all. It made her curious as to what was so important for him to be doing at the middle of the night along with long conversations on the phone about his “business”. Least to say Bella never got far with figuring out what was going on since she was just too young to understand. Not only that but even if she asked her sister or her brothers about it they would just tell her not to worry about it and to go run off and play. It irritated her at how she was always treated like the youngest child. She wasn’t but a few years younger than them so what could possibly be the problem with that? Isabella was always caught out of the loop and that didn’t make her feel any better. She was determined that one day she would prove to them that she wasn’t the little girl that everyone thought she was. She was more than just the sweet little Isabella. Now at that time Bella was at the age of where when she saw someone do something cool she went ahead and did the same thing. The one person that Bella gratefully followed behind had to be her older sister Maggie Corinthos and her rebellious ways. It was as if she was Maggie’s second shadow, constantly following her around and closely watching to see what her great sister would do next. She wanted to be just like her; confident and smart.
What started out as a simple faze actually turned into an issue. Growing older Bella didn’t know who she was after Maggie moved away to America. She knew she wanted to be like her sister but she wasn’t exactly sure if that was the right choice. The one thing that stopped her the most was sex, little Bella knew for a fact that she was nowhere near getting to that chapter. So instead, she started to smoke; but it wasn’t constant. The same went for drinking, each and every time Bella did something that her sister would have done she couldn’t help but to feel the rush and wonder that if her older sister would be proud of her; that’s what she hoped for anyway. Bella was so into following her sisters footsteps that she even went to a wild house party without letting her parents know one late night. It was the regular wild party with drinking, loud music, and drugs. Later on in the party Bella was introduced to the deadly drug of meth, something in the back of her mind said to not try it and instead her friend took it without hesitation. Immediately that resulted into an overdose, Bella had never been in such a panic before the poor girl was so scared for her friend and it wasn’t like she could call for help. She didn’t want to get into trouble and just knowing how angry her father would get was enough for her. As Bella hesitated and her friend’s breath grew shallow which resulted in death. Ever since then she hasn’t looked at dangerous drug like meth and just decided to smoke to ease out her stress or when she was worried. Till this day she never told anyone in her family about that party or what happened; it was best to just keep something like that to herself.
Being the age of sixteen didn’t change much for her. Here she was still being treated like a little girl, she couldn’t go anywhere unless she told her father and she had to get back at a certain time. Bella was sick of it, not only was she still being treated like a kid everyone else around her was being treated like an adult! The only person she could partly relate to was her half-brother Dominic Montenegro. That wasn’t the only problem, she was starting to miss her older siblings. She was upset that they would just get up and leave with no hesitation, all three of them. As much as Bella loved it in Tijuana, Mexico she wanted to go to America curious as to what it was like. So she begged and begged her parents until they finally said it was okay to go. Least to say Bella was overly excited, not only was she going to America, she was also going to be living with her older sister Maggie and J.R. how much more luck could she have? But being with her siblings wasn’t the only reason why she wanted to get away from Tijuana so badly, she wanted to figure out who she really was, is she really the sweetheart that everyone thought she was? Or maybe she was destined to be just like her older sister. She wants to prove to her family that she can for once make decisions on her own without anyone’s approval and let everyone know how independent she can really be.

ABOUT YOU AND FOR THE ADMINS ,
and i left the jail, well thanks for the time[/color]
YOUR NAME: lacey[/b] she taunted, she wanted him to take the camera away from her so she could tackle him into the grass and act like a complete fool. Moving away from him she flicked his forehead just to annoy him and wiggled around to get more comfortable. "If I was a stripper I think I'd have surgery to get bigger boobs and maybe a bigger ass too." she said looking down at her "girls" with a dissapointed look. They weren't that big at all and it was such a let down in her eyes. "And you must be out your mind to stick your hand down a garbage disposal...I'll stick to education thank you." Devon calming replied tilting her head down to her camera turning off the flash determined to sneak a picture of him. No, she wasn't obsessed with him Devon was just so into photography and enjoyed taking pictures when others least expected it. Snapping a picture of a Labrador retriever running after a tennis ball. A rave,something she hadn't been to in what felt like billions of years.
GENDER: female
AGE: seventeen
RP EXPERIENCE: 6+ years
OTHER CHARACTERS: none
ROLEPLAY EXAMPLE:
A smirk of satisfaction was on her lips, she wanted to make Whit smile about her and her dislike for Lady Gaga. Don't get her wrong; Devon liked the girls music but when you had to wake up to the song Poker Face blasting in your ear you wouldn't really like her then. Turning her attention over to the male her smirk broke out into a grin for a moment. Lady Gaga, a soul eater? She placed her hand over her heart with a horrid look as if she had just found out she was going to die in seven days. "Why didn't anyone tell me this? She could be taking my soul right now!" her expression relaxed has she placed her hand on her knee, it actually helped that Whit was here with her. She wasn't as cranky anymore and he always managed to get her to smile some way or another. With another yawn a chill ran down her spine, "But seriously Lady Gaga has to be the strangest woman I've ever saw. I mean, just look at how she dresses..." that caused her to wrinkle up her nose picturing what she had worn at the two-thousand nine MTV music awards. She surely was on a whole other level of weird.
Her eyes widened from surprise along with amusement, did Whit just say he would break her camera? Or was it that he would take it away from her and never get it back. No matter what it was she only felt a twinge of intimidation wondering if he would actually do something like that to Devon. The poor girl didn't even do any harm to him and he wanted to take away her baby(her camera). Leaning in locking eyes with him she raised a brow, "Really? do it I dare you."
"That sounds awesome, of course I'll go with you. I miss just having me and you time." she purred winking at him. It was true, he was one of the many that could bring out her party side. Devon may look like a completely normal girl that was just trying to get through college and didn't do anything but lock herself in her room and study but boy was that wrong. Well, she was trying to get college over with but when a party was around; best believe she would be the first one there ready to party the night away. Raves always got her hyped up, she didn't take any of the drugs there but she still had fun. The blasting music, neon lights swirling around, and over hundreds of people how could you not get hyped? Lifting her head she sighed as Whitne- Whit told her not to call him by his full name. Not that Devon couldn't help but to be a nosy person she wondered why he didn't like the name. In her mind it almost sounded like a girl name but still. Maybe it had something to do with his family issues. Looking off the the side she rolled her eyes. Him and Lukas always had problems with each other. It made her sick at how they couldn't get along one bit. She was sure that if she had locked them in a room for a moment both of them would end up dead some way, some how. "Sorry. Won't happen again." she simply replied putting her hands in the air as if she was backing away from a gun. She didn't want to get on that topic with Whit, it would just cause a whole bunch of problems and she surely didn't want to deal with that.
Bring up her fingers to her mouth she smiled; something she always seemed to do when someone gave her a compliment. She was surprised in a good way, it even made her blush a little. "Aww Whit, look at you trying to be a sweetheart. But thanks for the compliment. Hmm breakfast...Yeah that sounds good we can walk around and find a place that's open. But in a minute I'm too lazy to move right now." opening the top of the cup she watched at Whit filled her cup with the wine before placing it back next to him. Pressing the top down on the coffee cup she made sure that it wouldn't spill onto her Beetles hoodie and took a drink. A pleasing look was washed over her face, oh how she missed the taste of wine. "I'm sure you did fine with that interview. Rebuilding the LC's? Andd you don't have to tell me about your special time with Jewel I think it's better for me not to know about that." Devon couldn't help but to laugh slightly as Whit yawned only to move closer to her which was a lame cover up in her eyes but brushed it off. Instead of pushing him away Devon gave him a light pat on the head, "I say we sign up for one of those reality shows and just go crazy. Then our lives won't be boring anymore." she really way looking into doing something like that. Maybe one of these days everyone in Deadwood would see Devon on television beating some girls ass or just making out with a hot stranger like every other girl did on those shows.
