HAIR COLOR/STYLE

a natural carrot top, riley's flaming red hair has always been kept to just above her ribcage. she prefers to leave it to it's own devices, and doesn't know the first thing about hair products.

EYE COLOR

a light green, riley's eyes have a tendency to change depending on her mood. one minute they're the colour of a green leaf, the next they're a light brown.

BODY TYPE

taller than most girls, riley has always been lanky and flat chested. however, when she's not hiding her body behind cheesy t-shirts and sweats, she has a slight hour-glass figure.

FACIAL FEATURES

with a heart-shaped face, and small button nose, riley is usually mistaken for much younger than she is. it isn't that she looks like a child, she just has 'cute' features instead of the grown-up ones she's always wanted.

CLOTHING STYLE

always the slob, riley loves a good pair of sweats and a loose t-shirt; between work and going out with friends, it's all she wears. on the rare occasion that she does go out, she opts for flowery tops and fitted pants that show the little amount of curves she actually has, or loose dresses with a fitted waist.

ADVANTAGES

strengths, personality only, at least four.
confident - she may be a bit of a nerd, but she isn't afraid to show it.
independent - she doesn't like to put faith in people who won't live up to their promises.
humorous - riley's the type of girl that will make a mistake and laugh at her failures.
loyal - when she meets someone she likes, she'll be there for them whenever they need her.

DISADVANTAGES

weaknesses, personality only, at least four.
impatient - if she's dependent on someone else for something, riley tends to get bent out of shape at the thought of having to wait.
antisocial - due to her love of video games, riley tends to forget about the outside world.
stubborn - when she has an opinion, it takes a lot to change it.
ignorance - ignorance is bliss, as people say, and for riley, she prefers it that way.

PERSONALITY

raised in a small family with a protective father, riley has always been more than a little sheltered. she grew up believing in the best of people, and never thought to question what was happening in the world around her. instead of making hundreds of friends, she spent a lot of her time with her older brother, which has left her to be quite the tomboy. in fact, she gets along best with guys rather than the girls her mother forces her to have lunch with.

as for relationships, she's had a few, but none have ever really stuck around. she's either too odd, or doesn't give in to what they want. she isn't an innocent by any means, but she's the type to make sure a guy is worth her time before she lets them in her bed. she isn't looking for something simple, either. she likes a guy that can keep up with her, and who isn't afraid to pick arguments.

though she may seem quiet, riley has a tendency to be loud and extravagant. she wants life to be one huge gesture, just like she's seen in the movies. of course, she doesn't expect the happily-ever-after, but she isn't afraid to try for one.

HISTORY

"my parents are just everyday people - my mom is a primary school teacher, and my dad is an architect. i used to ask about how they met when i was a kid, but they gave me so many different variations, i don't know what to believe anymore. my favourite, however, was that they were both working at a carnival, and they both got trapped in the fun house. i'm not sure how the got stuck.. but i guess that isn't very important. without them, i wouldn't be here.

my childhood was interesting to say the least. i spent all my time following my brother around, and he introduced me to the comfort of boxers and the magic of video games. but, uh, because of that.. high school wasn't the greatest. i dressed far from pretty and had my nose in too many comic books. i didn't really care what other people thought of me, though. i mean.. i had my friends, and that's all that mattered.

after high school, i took a year off to travel, which was definitely the best year of my life. i backpacked across europe, spent a summer in australia, and learned the tiniest bit of german. right after that, though, i applied and started university. children's lit is my major, and i'm totally in love. one day, i want to change the world with the written word. ahaha, just kidding. i just want to write some kick-ass books for kids. they're great. the kids, i mean. which is why they deserve something they can really enjoy. in fact, i'm using a bunch as my guinea pigs at the daycare i'm working at, and it's going great.

fucking hell.. i knew this was going to come up somewhere, so i might as well get it out of the way. i'm aware of the shit that happens at thaedeus, alright? my brother was an unnatural, but he gave it up once he got out of there. it isn't exactly the type of story i want to share, so i'm going to skip over the specifics. oh, and to make things clear, i'm very accepting of that whole.. lifestyle, i guess. it seems kinda cool to have powers and shit.

anyways, for the moment i'm just a struggling university student trying to make sure her dog gets some food. between work, classes, and cuddling with my pooch, i don't see or know much of what's going on. yeah, there's wars, but i couldn't tell you who was in them, or what they were over. hell, i don't think anyone really knows why they start. but anyways, that's about it. this is me, riley."
