OOC: The Skillet concert last night made me miss her.
Your Username: Firestar
Character's Name: Michelle Perdon
Character's Age: 17
Character's Attitude: Michelle used to be an optimistic, happy person, full of life and joy. That was before her older brother got arrested and her family life fell apart. After that, her parents were always screaming and yelling at her and each other. She feels worthless and miserable all the time. She's gotten into cutting herself, but it never actually makes her feel better. The only time she's happy is when she visits one of her cousins, the Monroes.
Character's Powers (If any, and no more than 2): None
Character's Weakness (Must state at least 4; 2 concerning your powers!): Michelle's depressed, she's cutting herself, her older brother who she's always looked up to has been arrested, her family life's a mess, she's considering using drugs, she's thought about killing herself numerous times...how's that for a few?
Character's Appearance (Clothes, hair, face, etc. If you can provide a picture, that would be awesome!):
She has naturally dirty blonde hair, but she's dyed it black. She wears only black now, too: black tennis shoes, black jeans, black t-shirt, and a black jacket with sleeves that go past her hands. She uses the jacket to cover up the scars on her arms and wrists.
Character's Allegiance (Hero, Villain, or Neutral): neutral
Weapons (If any): A pocket knife her brother gave her.
Other Info (Is there anything we need to know about this person?): As stated, she's the Monroes' cousin; their moms are sisters. Anyone who wants to play her brother can.
History (At least 15 sentences and as detailed as you can get. The better we know them, the better we can write with you):
Michelle was born and raised in a suburb of New York, living as normal a life as you can concieve. It was her, her parents, and her older brother. Then, after her brother left, she found she wasn't very close to her family anymore. She was always close to her three cousins, though, especially Felicity. There were sometimes entire days and nights when they would just drive around and talk about anything and everything and nothing all at once.
When she was fifteen, her family learned that her brother had been arrested for intoxicated manslaughter. (Whether it was true or he was set up, no one knows.) Their family kinda fell apart after that. Her parents were always screaming at each other and at her, and she would yell back.
All of this happened about a year ago, and it has only gotten worse. About six months ago she started using her pocket knife to cut herself, and some of her friends have been coaxing her to try drugs. She hasn't told her family about any of this and is desperately hiding the scars on her wrists, hoping she won't be found out. Recently she's gotten so depressed that all she wants to do is end her life.
Role Play Sample (At least 15 sentences):
"WHY CAN'T YOU JUST TRY TO PICK UP AFTER YOUSELF ONCE IN A WHILE? YOU MAKE ME DO ALL THE WORK!!" Michelle's mom yelled.
"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?" she screamed back, "I CLEAN UP EVERYTHING AROUND HERE WHENEVER YOU AND DAD ARE FIGHTING?" The argument, so trivial, continued for thirty minutes. Finally, Michelle just grabbed her keys and stormed out to her car. She drove for a few miles toward NYC, into a vacant lot, tears streaming down her face. She leaned her head against the steering wheel for a few minutes. Then her hand found its way to her pocket. She pulled out the knife.
I just can't take this anymore, she thought. She took off her jacket, looking at the multiple scars on her arms and wrists. She ran the sharp blade vertically over her right wrist, wincing at the pain. She stared at the ruby blood now running down her hand.
I just want to end it...end it all, she thought, turning the blade so that it rested horizontally over her wrist, where it could slice through the vein.
I should at least tell the Monroes goodbye, she thought. She hesitated, then put the knife away and drove to Felicity's home in New York. She reached for her jacket, then decided against it. She would show her what she had been doing, and say her last goodbye to her. She walked to her front door.
OOC: And here're the two songs that inspired her:
