EYE COLOR: Deep brown (but she sometimes wears coloured contacts)
HEIGHT: 5’1

BODY TYPE: thin, petite, slight hourglass figure
DISTINGUISHED FEATURES: ears pierced once, the word FATE toattoed on her wrist, a birthmark on the back of her neck that looks like an apple and a small scar on her foot where a knife fell on it when she was younger.
PERSONAL STYLE: Annaleigh has a very unique style, sometimes she can be extremely girly, with floral patterns and really cute summer dresses, or she’ll be dressed in very vintage stuff, or she’ll look ‘punk’ with a pair of skinny fit jeans on and her favourite band t-shirt. But no matter what, she will always wear clothes to fit her mood, and won’t let anyone boss her around when it comes to what she wants to wear. And as for shoes, she’s not entirely sure whether heels are better or converse.
OTHER: Most of the time you’ll find her makeup is very old Hollywood style. She loves wearing bright lips, dramatic eyeliner and very pale foundation. It’s signature makeup look.

CHARACTER PERSONALITY ,
the more we move ahead the more we're stuck in rewind[/color]
STRENGTHS: Annaleigh’s strengths is her music and her loyalty. She never stops working on her music and it’s definitely the thing she does best. With her loyalty she will stick by her friends closely, no matter what. She can also (strangely) fix a car. Her big brother forced her to learn so that if anything went wrong she could do it pretty easily.[/font]
WEAKNESSES: Her biggest weakness is her twin sister. If anything happened to Anna’s twin Anna would instantly blame herself. She also has a weakness for musicians, if you’re a musician she’ll fall for you hard and fast. And she has a weakness for a good party, unfortunately she is a party animal and will go to one even if she’s not invited.
LIKES: She loves a good song, and a good party to go along with it. She loves animals. Annaleigh is a big chocolate fan too. She loves shopping for clothes and accessories, she likes doing her own gigs and people liking her music. She loves messing around with her hair, dancing around her room to good beats, having girly nights in with her sister. Oh she also is pretty cool with breaking a couple of rules now and then and getting into trouble doing it. Sunglasses that hide hung-over eyes. Working on old cars. She also likes doing things with the guys (she’s definitely not the stereotypical girl)
DISLIKES: She hates meat (complete vegetarian all the way), boring people at parties, people getting her confused with her sister. Girls who wear insanely slutty outfits to places that don’t need that style. Guys who try to get into her pants, wearing her retainer on a night time. People pulling out bad pictures of her when she had braces. Not being able to perform when she wants to. Being shown up in public. Bad hair days.
FLAWS: Annaleigh is pretty vain, she normally won’t go out if she’s not wearing makeup. She doesn’t know when to give up. When it comes to certain things she’s pretty bad at saying no (things like going to parties, any musician that asks her to ‘spend the night’ with him). She’s sometimes a bit gullible too. Not with everything, but once or twice her parents have forked out a load of money for her to go for an ‘audition’ for a gig that never happened.
HABITS: She runs her hands through her hair a lot. If she’s talking to someone she likes she’ll rock backwards and forwards on her feet. Singing in the shower at the top of her lungs. Getting so drunk at parties she can’t remember what she’s done.
SECRETS: Before they moved here Anna was blind from the age of three to the age of seven after a car accident. From then on she decided that she wanted to do anything and everything and live life to the fullest.
BEST MEMORY: The day she woke up and she could see everything and everyone around her.
WORST MEMORY: Getting lost when she was six years old in a shopping mall and having no clue where her family were. Waking up and seeing nothing.
OVERALL PERSONALITY: Annaleigh is a very nice, loyal person, who can often be seen at parties having a good time and singing her heart out. She’s nearly always in a good mood and looks to live life to the fullest, if that means partying until school starts the next day, going sky diving out of a plane or doing other things some would call stupid she doesn’t mind doing it.
Anna is a vain girl too, always checking to make sure her outfit looks the way it should, or making her makeup perfect, or fluffing her hair. She doesn’t care what people think of her but when it comes to what she looks like if she doesn’t like how she looks she won’t go out of the house. Her clothes often fit her personality, so if she wants to be girly she’ll wear something to fit her girly giggly mood, same goes for the other moods she’s in. People don’t understand why she is so vain and looking for perfection, but it goes along with her secret and not being able to know if she looked a mess or not for four years made a huge impact on her.
She’s a slut for musicians. If a boy or girl has a tamborine she’ll have them. She’s not really that interested in other guys or girls, but there is a part of her which would do anything for a good musician. No matter how many people point out to her what she does with musicians, she can’t help it.
She’s sometimes seen as a tomboy, fixing cars and wearing clothes that would suit a guy better. Then other days she’s glammed up, and in designer dresses, showing off as much as she can without looking like a whore.
Anna is a very loyal friend. If she met you and liked you, she’ll be your friend for life. People sometimes think she’s just messing around with everyone she can. But she truly is a people person. If you have similar hobbies with her, or like her for one reason or another and if she likes you back she will be a good friend.
Annaleigh has an obsession with old movies, black and white, with all the glamourous people and the fabulous dresses. She’d go and see any old black and white movie over one of the new blockbusters any day.
She’s been described as a loose cannon at some points. Because Annaleigh lead a very sheltered life for a couple years when she was younger she decided that she needed to break out of her shell and live for the moment, meaning that she could randomly sneak out of the house at four in the morning to take a walk on the beach, or skip a class or two to go to Hollywood for a day out. If she randomly decides that she wants to do something, she’ll do it.
Some people think that she’s a bit too into living life and think she should calm down. She doesn’t tend to listen to that, and doesn’t ever explain why she does it. She’s never had a friend come that close to her that she’s willing to explain why she feels like this. Though she is definitely a loyal friend, and will listen to your problems, it doesn’t mean that she’s willing to share her problems.
She’s also a big animal right’s activist. She will often work benefit concerts for animal rights and things like that, and is a dedicated vegetarian. She won’t force people into her beliefs but she won’t change hers for others. She doesn’t care how many people hate her for being a vegetarian, or how many times people give her facts about animals that would make some vegetarians change their ways, she just is what she is and doesn’t ask that anyone changes.

Lucinda Charlotte Valentine (twin)- 17
OTHER: N/A
LIVING SITUATION: (dorms, valks, shaks)
HISTORY: Annaleigh was born a twin in Sydney, Australia on April 25th. She was in a good family, with a loving mother and father, and a four year old brother who always wanted a little sister, and was thrilled to have two little sisters. Annaleigh and Tia were instantly close because of being twins and even at the youngest age they seemed to get on fine together.
When they had their first birthday they had quite a big party. Many children they didn’t know were invited but the girls stuck with each other more than anything else. In their first year they became very close to each other, more than their parents thought possible and they never seemed to have a disagreement, or steal toys from each other. If they needed anything their big brother always helped too.
Her mother was still working as a model at this time so they were often left at home with a nanny while her parent’s went away to big exotic places. At this age it didn’t seem to bother the girls that much. They just wanted to play around and have a good time. Unfortunately their brother hated his mother and father away for such long periods so he often had temper tantrums and got a lot of attention from her and her sister.
By the time they were two they were walking and talking, not talking perfectly but knowing quite a few words. Anna was always singing, nursery rhymes mostly. She was always running around while singing too and seemed to have a happy go lucky attitude to everything. Though she still was extremely close to her sister, she seemed to have a lot more independence than before. Their parents had been talking about taking a year off at this point. But neither of them had said that they would definitely do it to any of their children, too worried that they’d get upset if the couple decided not to take time off.
The couple took a year off and announced it on their son’s birthday as one of his presents as they knew that he missed them a lot. Anna and Lucinda were happy about this too as they barely got to see their parents. A week after her brother’s birthday, Anna had to go to the doctors because she wasn’t very well. When travelling back with her mother, a drunk driver crashed into the side of their car and almost killed the three year old and her mother.
Annaleigh ended up going into a coma for a week, her mother in a coma for two weeks. When she woke up she couldn’t see a thing. As a three year old she was terrified of the dark, so not being able to see a thing made things a lot scarier. For a month she just cried and hugged her father or mother, who ever was there. At this point her sister and brother were always there for her, her brother being a lot more of a big brother than he’d ever been before, and her sister never leaving her side.
After a couple of months Annaleigh began to calm down a lot, she began to study Braille, even at this young of an age. Anna gained a lot of confidence when she sang, still at this age it was only nursery rhymes but still you could tell if she was in a good mood if she was singing. It changed the way that she played, but she still tried to play games with her sister and brother, though it was a lot harder for her.
Their mum had quit her job at this point to take care of her children full time. For the twin’s fourth birthday they didn’t have a big extravagant party, they stayed in as a family. Annaleigh had become very shy and reserved, not playing with the other children because they teased her like mad and she didn’t like it. Luckily if she was with her brother and anyone teased her, he’d make sure they never did again.
By her fifth birthday she knew a couple of words of Braille, wanting to be good at something if she couldn’t see. Her presents included three new Braille books, and by this age Anna was trying (very slowly to read them).
Anna and her sister had to go to different schools at this point, Annaleigh’s parents had heard about some of the stuff the other children had been saying, and they were worried that Anna would get bullied a lot worse.
Anna ended up keeping her head down and working as hard as she could, she ended up being seen as a bit of a nerd, but she didn’t want to interact with other people in her school, scared of them, even though she was blind too and most of the others were, it terrified her.
By her sixth birthday, Annaleigh’s parents decided to try and make things seem normal again and took her to the mall to get a couple of different things. Unfortunately Anna ended up getting lost and got terrified when she had no clue where she was, everything around her extremely loud as people walked by, she ended up just sitting on the floor where she was and crying until someone found her.
A year and a half later, after being shy, reserved and not doing anything that could make her feel as helpless as she did when she got lost like before, she woke up one morning and found that she could see. It was blurry, at first, but slowly and surely her sight came back to her. After a while, when the realised that she wasn’t going to wake up and not have her sight again, they pulled her out of her school and enrolled her into the school with her sister.
At that point Annaleigh wanted to do anything and everything that she couldn’t do when she was blind. She asked her parents if they could go travelling, all of them as a family, go visit all the great sights. Her parents decided that it would be good for all the kids to get some culture in their lives, pulled them out of school and they all ended up travelling for four years.
They went to England, Italy, France, Germany, Japan, China, New Zealand, many different places in America, spending months at a time exploring each country until there was nothing to see. The kids were home schooled, learning things in cars and learning histories of the different cities they were in the easiest way they could, by living it.
By the twin’s eleventh birthday they ended up going to Hollywood, where all of the family wanted to stay. Thinking about it, they ended up getting all of their stuff sold at home and they moved into Valkyrie, because of the school and the fantastic education that they could give their kids. The family settled in very quickly and promised Annaleigh they wouldn’t tell anyone about her sightless past. Annaleigh became a very bubbly fun person to be with.
This is when Annaleigh became very vain, she began to worry about her image a lot more, because now she’d be with people all the time and they’d see her and know what she’d look like. From an early age she picked out her own style and dressed in that way. She didn’t do so much make up though. That came later.
When she was 13 her brother started to show her how to fix a car, he had been doing it for a long time and wanted Anna to have a similar interest so that they could spend some time together. She ended up loving this time and worked on cars with him a couple hours every week so that she could spend time with him. This was her tomboy stage and she never completely grew out of it.
The years continued on and Anna and her family continued to go on fun vacations do different places and always did exciting things. Anna stayed quiet about her past but became a big partier and had crazy fun. She and her sister were still close but not always side by side.
Now Anna is passionate about music, she found that while wandering around the world with her family, she adored all the music she came across. When the family settled down she found herself more and more obsessed with music and she learnt guitar in a year. She instantly began writing her own songs and she ended up where she is now.

ABOUT YOU AND FOR THE ADMINS ,
and i left the jail, well thanks for the time[/color]
YOUR NAME: Ashers[/color] Alice said. Alice laughed more as Emily said about running off with the pack. “Well maybe that could be a game for them, run like the pack, you give them space in the garden or something, watch them at all times and let them run around pretending they’re wolves.”[/color] Alice laughed. “It probably would tire them out quicker.”[/color] Alice glanced down at the little girl and smiled more. “She is adorable.”[/color] Alice commented. She didn’t know where the gooey girly feelings were coming from, but she couldn’t help them, she just thought the two kids were some of the cutest things she’d seen.
GENDER: Female!
AGE: 18
RP EXPERIENCE: About two and a half years
OTHER CHARACTERS: none!
ROLEPLAY EXAMPLE: It’s from a different site, if you want me to write up a new one tell me and I’ll do so.Alice smiled and laughed. “Ah well, I bet you don’t have a dull day with them though.”
Alice was trying her hardest not to smell the air, she knew that if she did she may get thirsty. Alice found it harder to be around kids. She knew it was because they were so active their blood smelled more prominent, pounding through their little bodies, it always made it just that much harder to resist. But Alice’s will power was a lot better than people gave her credit for. She was good at keeping her thirst in check, especially because she had to hang out with Bella and Bella’s human friends, it made her a bit stronger.
A smile grew on the pixie’s face as Emily said about the pony rides. “Is that on the wolf back or his own back?”[/color] Alice asked curiously. It wasn’t in a cruel way, she was just curious as to if it was ‘pony’ rides or wolf rides. Either way she knew it would probably be adorable to see. She couldn’t deny that in any shape way or form.
“Does Paul start it out of anger or out of jest? Like Emmett will tease Jasper until Jasper can’t take it, but they never do it out of anger. Well, most of the time they don’t do it out of anger.”[/color] Smiling lightly she remembered the last argument. “And then there are the bets, which are often funnier, it’s either, who will win, who will give up first, or how long it’ll take Esme to break it up.”[/color] Alice laughed lightly, her laugh sounding like very high ringing bells. Alice nodded along with Emily. “Definitely, boys either think about their stomachs or who they’re going to fight with next…or sex of course.”[/color] Alice said slightly offhandedly.
It had never occurred to Alice that the pack would have been going through the same things. In hindsight she shoulda thought about it. “It’s always made me think about the humans who don’t know about the vampires and the wolf packs, what do they think about all the strange stuff that goes on? I mean, do they notice and just ignore it, or do they just not notice at all?”[/color] Alice always tried not to think about this, it just didn’t seem to be a huge thing that she had to think about all the time, but every so often it came into her head and she had to wonder what they thought. Sighing as Alice heard Jake’s name she shook her head. “This is stupid, they shouldn’t all be fighting like this. I don’t understand why Edward will easily ban Jacob from seeing Renesmee when he knows how much he hated being away from Bella.”[/color] Alice said in a rather angry tone. She loved her brother of course, and could understand that it was because of Bella’s heart break, but she thought he was being selfish and wasn’t thinking about his daughter at all.
Alice sighed and put her hands on her forehead. “Sorry, outburst, I feel like I can’t talk about it in the house. You shouldn’t be burdened with troubles that aren’t your own.”[/color] Alice said as she rubbed her temples lightly.
She smiled lightly at Emily as she spoke about Renesmee. “Yeah, she’s really sweet and stuff, way too old for her age but you know. She’s still a kid at heart and a lot of the time you can see that through whatever she’s doing. But sometimes I wonder if her parents are being just a little too protective of her.”[/color]
Alice glanced down as the bag tipped over. She smiled. “Ah, you’re really the mother figure for the pack aren’t you?”[/color] Alice smiled lightly as she listened to Emily talking. Alice frowned lightly. “But it must be pretty expensive, I mean you’re paying for your own clothes, your children’s clothes, your husband’s clothes and the packs clothes as well as food and drinks and other things? That’s a pretty big job, how do you keep on top of it all?”[/color] She asked curiously.
Alice kinda knew that money would be hard, so she felt pretty bad though it was completely out of her hand. She knew that if anyone in her family found out that she’d been talking to Emily, she’d be seen as the bad person, and she knew it would be the same for Emily and the pack. It wasn’t fair that this feud had gone on for so long, it made no sense. Granted she understood the treaty and stuff, but shouldn’t it have all changed? Renesmee’s birth should have changed things to go a different way. It was obvious that Emily was willing to look over the ‘dangers’ of the golden eyed vampires, why couldn’t the others see that it was safe?[/quote]
