Settled in the heart of California, on the coastal of San Francisco there is one school which has been known for many years. Hardston Academy, the massive campus and amazing achievers make this place what it really is, and amazing school the students all keep in line, well with a few ups and down and the rebels like to make a show of themselves, but in the last few years they have made a university in the free field that was next to the school so students didn’t have to leave town to carry on their education.
Before you judge the school and it concept I must point out the structure of the school, instead of just having students from different countries the clique system is like no other and if you don’t fit in from the beginning then you never will unfortually. The good thing is that you can be your own person there, if you like sports or books they have it all under the massive school roof. But to be honest with you all the drama does not stay in the school it ranges through the whole town and everyone has drama pretty much every day.
The small town that has evolved round the school is simply called ‘Petal Town’ simply and easy as before they had come it was just a lush forest with many trees and they dedicate the town after a well known tree which was one of the eldest before it died a few years back now. And as the town has grew so have the people families are moving in and students are moving closer to get to school easier, clubs have opened and a hospitals has been built. This development started over 40 years ago and only now they have officially said it is complete.
But what made this town so popular in such a short time after being fully built well just a normal night for everyone students where home and the teachers packed away there was a shooting nearby which led the gangs to the school for cover as they tried to kill each other off. There were around 12 boys involved in the fight most attend the well known school one of them being James Freeman one of the most popular guys in school. Everyone was killed off in the group leaving only James left, he took shelter behind one of the bench and tried to keep quite, but after being shot three times.
The pain was rushing through him luckily for him the gang soon gave up and wandered off and James was left in the middle of the main courtyard all his friends dead next to him as he stood there looking at them. The next morning he was still there unable to move from lose of blood. This is what made Petal Town go onto the front pages and people started moving there and so forth, James stills lives there now as a proud owner of a club and twenty one, but he will never forget that day.

Where was he? Fluttering his eyelashes slightly to let his eyes adjust, Alex blinked. It was .... strangely white. And fluffy. Like he was on a cloud. Or something. But, wait a minute ... WAS he on a cloud? ... Freezing on the spot, you could almost see his brain whirring trying to figure out what was going on. For minutes he stood like this, barely moving, hardly breathing, until he finally rested upon a decision of what the hell was going on. "Am I dead?" His words came out with blank and hollow, ringing all the way around him. The next sound he heard made him jump. It was something soft, tinkling, like a wind chime moving in the warm summer's breeze. "No, silly." A veletine voice reached into his mind, echoing throughout the expanse of his skull. Which wasn't really much of an expanse at all. "You're just dreaming ... dreaming ... dreaming ..." Suddenly, everything around him began to whorl, the voice in his head becoming high-pitched and more frequent. Panic began to set in as everything slowly dulled down to muted grays and blues .... becoming unfocused ... blurry .....
With a shrill cry, Alex sat bolt upright in bed, only to cry out again as he toppled off of it and onto his (fortunately) carpeted bedroom in a tangle of sheets and blankets. Lying there for a minute, in some kind of a daze, he just lay there in only his boxers and his blankets, the muddle called his brain trying to figure out what had just happened. It took a minute or two before he clued in that his alarm had just gone off, and was still ringing above his head. Muttering a stream of profanity, he managed to untangle himself from his bedclothes and scramble to his feet, slamming a fist down on the button to turn the ruddy thing off. The silence that followed was almost deafening.
Making a face, he sighed quietly before shuffling over to his dresser, grabbing a clean pair of jeans, a plain white T-shirt, and his favourite black and white checkered hoodie. Running a hand through his hair and deciding that he didn't really need to shower, STILL NOT DONE. Sorry. x.x

Morning Times;; Hardest Part of the Day « Result #6 on Aug 22, 2007, 6:27pm »
Ariana liked the outside. It was pretty, especially in the early mornings like today. Ariana had woken up way to early for her liking but she had been dead tired the night before and had gone to bed at like 11. Something she normally didn’t do. Normally she wouldn’t wake up till like 11 or 12 especially since it was a Saturday. Normally it was once Ariana opened her eyes she couldn’t get back to sleep. It was just impossible. It was only like 7 in the morning and she was completely awake. She had tried going back to sleep and that had lasted for about 5 minutes before she had thrown off her covers and sat up in bed looking around the room. It was a mess really. Just like it was the night before. Her father had got on her about cleaning her room and she had left it the way it was. A lot of people seemed to think that you couldn’t find anything in her room. And if anyone else looked in her room it was true they would be able to find nothing. She remembered she had asked her brother to grab a sweater for her, but it had taken him a half an hour just to find one, as it had been littered down behind her chair under a pile of books and things. She didn’t even know how half the stuff got in the places that it did actually.
On the other hand though if Ariana went and tried to find it she would be able to pull it out in a matter of seconds, when if it was all clean and tidy it was actually harder for her to find things. The only thing that remained clean was the area at the side of her room that was where she did her homework, where her desk was and her lab top sat on it along with many books around it from the homework that she had started the night before. Ariana was a bit of a nerd. She liked doing her homework, and she liked getting good grades but it wasn’t like it controlled her life. She just more had certain goals she wanted to achieve and she needed good marks to achieve them. Sighing quietly she ran her fingers through her now slightly messed up hair from the way she had slept and swung her legs over the bed and stood up. She hated waking up, she always felt so sloppy. Rubbing at her eyes she could tell that nobody else was up well not yet anyways. She bet just after she finished getting ready she would hear the baby crying leading the everyone waking up, well possibly but her step mother and her father seemed pretty tired lately.
Moving into the bathroom she turned on the shower letting it turn into the hot water as she draped a towel over the counter and closed the door stripping out of her clothing and jumping in the shower the hot water waking her up slightly. Rinsing her hair she quickly moved to wash herself and then her hair before turning off the hot water and grabbing her towel wrapping it around her and looked at herself in the mirror. She didn’t like the look of herself without make up, she looked, odd. She was so used to seeing herself with make up on that when she saw herself without it on it was like looking like a completely different person, an ugly person she found. Moving back into her room she searched through her drawers pulling out her usual clothing for the morning, a pair of skinny jeans and just a loose black top. She didn’t wear anything real fancy or anything when she knew she wasn’t going out at least not right away so she quickly got dressed and went to do her hair and make up.
It really didn’t take her long to do actually. Maybe about an half an hour, hour at the most just to both her make up and her hair. It isn’t really that bad considering some of the stories that you hear and how long it takes them to get ready. She still did have to wake up pretty early to get everything done. Looking around her room once again she grabbed a sweater and slipped it on along with a pair of slippers and moved down the hallway hearing the muffled cry of Sonny. Why they called him that she had no idea but he was really a cutie. But he did wake everyone up way to early. He liked attention and didn’t sleep in past 8. Mumbling to herself she went into his room quickly before they would wake up or wake up the other kids in the house and sighed ‘ shhh….everyone’s sleeping..its okay. Lets go get you something to eat’ she whispered quietly picking him up and kissing his forehead. When Ariana did have the chance she liked helping out her family, it was just her way of repaying them for actually taken her into this house. Because really they had any right to not let her live here.
Moving she went downstairs bouncing Sonny in her arms making him giggle quietly and she went over into the kitchen and opened the door finding some cheerios and some fruits cut up in small pieces so that he could chew them. Sonny was two so he could at people food but he tended to choke a lot, trying to eat to quickly so everyone had to watch him when he ate. Grabbing herself a bottle of water she went and opened the front door feeling the cool breeze. It wasn’t that cold out so the baby would be fine in what he was wearing and moved along the both sitting on the little swing like couch things that they had in the front of the house sitting Sonny in her lap giving him a few cheerios in his hand which he went to throw down onto the ground ‘ fine your fault if your hungry later’ she said to him and folding her legs up so that he was trapped where he was so that he wouldn’t fall forward swinging back and forth a little looking at the street ahead of her. She normally wouldn’t see someone walking around here at 8 in the morning unless it was the one lady that went walking at this time. And of course nobody came and visited her at this time. Sometimes she wished she did though. Leaning back she pulled the little boy closer to her and let her gaze continue to look at the street not exactly expecting anyone to just appear. It never happened when she needed company.

Ariana Cullens [continued] « Result #8 on Aug 21, 2007, 10:08pm »
History: Parents: Kierra and Zachary were like the high school sweethearts. They had been together since there junior year of highschool and went through to the same university together, both becoming lawyers and eventually opening a law firm together when they became the age of 21. After about a year Zachary finally proposed to her and they got married the following June. About a month later Kierra found out that she was pregnant and at the time there wasn’t anything to show whether it was a boy or girl but both of them preferring the little baby boys hoped for a boy. The following April Jeremy was born, their first son and by far there favorite as you would see in the years to come. Because it was a boy they thought it was fine luck and they decided that they wanted to have a bigger family as both were fond of the little boy who always went to sleep, barely ever cried and really was a good baby. But they were having difficulties and about a year later they finally got pregnant again but little did they know that this baby definitely wasn’t going to be the same as the last one.
Birth: When Ariana was born there really was a huge shocker. They had been expecting another boy and it was definitely apparent that the parents weren’t all too thrilled to have this little girl as there child. They discussed the factor of even giving her up for adoption but Jeremy had been like in love with the little girl, Ariana. Her mother had called her that basically because she had been watching some sort of movie and that name had come up and the girl in he movie she hated. Ariana didn’t find that out till later. Her father didn’t seem to mind the little girl as much but the mother you could tell didn’t like girls, actually rather despised them, for some reason that was never mentioned in any part of Ariana’s childhood. Zachary, Ariana’s father along with Jeremy forced the mother to keep the kid, Jeremy more just waddled around with her in his arms all the time pretty much like protecting her. He was only two but seemed to understand the concept that they were thinking of getting rid of her. Somewhere along he line though it really turned out to be a mistake that they did keep Ariana though.
Toddler: Everyone could tell around them through even the first few months of Ariana being with the family that things would soon turn out not well which was why the father basically took over taking care of the girl while her mother went to spoil Jeremy like there was no other kid living in the house. Ariana got the essentials when Jeremy’s room was cluttered with toys and if Zachary even went to buy Ariana a little toy her mother would snap at him and would return it to the store. By the age of two she had learned pretty much eh essentials. She could speak quite a few words and was able to walk quite easily, meaning run away from her mother. She was never close to her even as a little tiny baby, you could see the venom in the mother’s eyes with this girl. The father would have to secretly sneak in things for her to play with and Jeremy being he age of 5 would keep her in his room most of the time and keep her entertained. Jeremy and Ariana were probably the closest out of all of them and only the dad seemed to like Ariana fairly much. But if you looked around the house, there wee never any pictures hanging up of the little girl, if someone ever came in it would look like they only ever had a son. They literally hid Ariana away from society.
Twins: Kierra had always liked twins, since she was one herself, so she had also been hoping for twins if she couldn’t have another boy. Her parents too were hoping for twins to come along because it seemed like family after family on her mothers side seemed to have at least one pair of twins in it. It was actually quite creepy. So when Ariana was three Kierra had a set of twins, both girls named Cecily and Isabelle, her great grandmother and her sisters names who had passed away both at the age of 21 in a fatal car crash you could see it wouldn’t be the same with these girls. They were named those names for a reason, because her mother had adored her mother and she had decided these twins were going to be in honor of them. And even though Jeremy was still a favorite she made sure it was known that she had three beautiful kids. Not four like it should have been but three. Jeremy on the other hand was now 5 years old and started school and would write about his sister, talk about his sister, you could tell he was only doing this to try and get people to notice that there was a fourth Daughter but because of the town not knowing the kids names they just assumed he was talking about one of the little girls that were just born.
Divorce: A year after the twins were born and Ariana was supposed to go to school her mother refused to send Ariana. This was probably about the final straw for Zachary and he cut it there. Over the 4 years that Ariana had been living with them the father had taken care of her, done everything that he could for Ariana but he never had completely disobeyed orders that was given to him by Kierra. But not sending Ariana to school was a crime in her fathers opinion, so he decided he was done with it. People seemed to be noticing how bad of a mother she really was so he took Ariana and Jeremy as he knew one wouldn’t leave without the other and moved up into a fairly nice house across town. They did end up staying in the same work together but it only took a year before Kierra had pulled out and been offered a top of the line job somewhere else so basically Zachary and there family were set still with financial issues as they did very well within there business. Out of anyone it was probably the hardest on Jeremy because even though he hated his mother for what he did with Ariana he still was very close to his mother otherwise.
Court Order: Once Kierra had pulled out and had nothing to do with Zachary she thought that she had probably ruined his life, because she thought she was the one that ran the business but really Zachary was a lot smarter then he did seem at times. He used to act like one of those jokers, not taking much serious other then there relationship when they were younger, so to se him doing a lot better then even she was doing had made her mad. Which had made her bring them to court to get full custody of both Jeremy and Ariana. Well now Ariana was at least a known face as the whole dispute had been all over the papers and everything as really it had become quite a big battle between the two. Eventually Kierra won it out though and Zachary could only see the two kids every other weekend and he never saw the twins. The twins grew up to learn to hate there father as Kierra told the little girls lie after lie about him and even if Ariana and Jeremy tried to tell differently it didn’t work as in the twins eyes they only heard what there mother said.
Childhood: Through growing up Ariana did end up going to school, but she was very quiet. She had never really learned to interact with other people so she found it difficult with being in a room with a bunch of people and them all talking to her or something. She was quite the frightened little girl. But soon enough she started to get used to it, started to like it and even made a few close friends. But she hadn’t got so far as to be all bubbly and talk to basically anyone. Though that changed too. When at about the age of 8 and she started becoming the smart one, and her brother was older now and didn’t start spending so much time with Ariana her mom started beating her. First it was if she mouthed back or talked about her father, but then it started to become just because she was angry. Or because something at her job didn’t go right. Every time something happened she would take all her force out on Ariana. She soon came to learn to hide them. To make up excuses for ones she had because she knew what would happen if she told. Her brother started to notice though and would defend her and come out looking even worse then she did. Ariana would then go to help him bandage himself all the while crying because it was her fault that he had those wounds. Ariana tried not to let anything get hr down though, she made it so that she was always smiling, that it looked like nothing ever hurt her, and she put her focus into her schoolwork. She was always top of the class. She would stay up till one two in the morning doing homework even though she was only in like grade 6. She always wanted to do her best for everyone. Even if both her and Jeremy did get beaten at home. Her brother on the other hand took a different route, and got into smoking, doing drugs, getting drunk all the time. Even though he was only 14 at the time, he got the stuff easily, he would stay out late into the night, doing whatever and it would only be Ariana staying up to make sure she heard him come in that night, even if it wasn’t till four the next morning and he would just glare at her and walk on.
Remarriage #1: When Ariana was 12 her mother went and got remarried to some other bloke, Kent. Ariana hated him, because he brought even more members into there family, to laugh at her, to watch as she got beat. They were stuck up jerks whom she learned to stay away from as they would pick on her, and try to force her brother to do things to her, everything to make them have there life much more better. She could remember one time in specific where they had caught Jeremy and Ariana studying in his room and the oldest of them Kole went to hold a bat on them and told Jeremy if he didn’t kiss her that he would smack him with the bat. And Ariana had saw that this guy was completely mental and he would do so. Jeremy had been forced to kiss her that day, and that had been the day that they had it. Kierra and Kent were happy together, noticed nothing of this, so Jeremy and her hid, until they could be by themselves with them gone. Both of them completely a wreck at this point. It had been a year since them remarrying and this was when Jeremy moved back in with his father. Ariana having not been old enough had to stay behind but Jeremy had thought this had been best but he really had been wrong, things only went worse for her. Instead they would try and do things to her, she was young, but she was fast, that was the only thing she could use, she got out of there way as much as she could, but then some nights she couldn’t do anything, and they cut her, they tortured her, anything that would cause a riot.
Teenager: Once Ariana hit the age of 15 she ran away. She lived on the streets for a year, not going to school, only working when she could, but even though she knew people were out looking for her she stood hidden. She would go see Jeremy once in a while, but he never seemed to actually see her. But it didn’t matter, Ariana was fine, and she knew if she could hack it out a year she could finally come in to live with her father, the only family that she thought she had other then her brother. Living on the streets had been brutal for her but she had survived it, but became skinny, really skinny, yet she had managed to feed herself a lot that she hadn’t become sick. Once her 16th birthday came she showed up at her fathers door who immediately took her in, went to clean her wounds that she had, and saw scars that she had over her arms and neck, small ones, ones that are barely noticeable now, but enough to make her father call the cops. Enough to make it so that her mother finally got her ass in jail, and Cole Shadows on the run as well from the cops. Once at her fathers house she finally was able to resume a normal life and first she was stunningly quiet but she got used to it, accepted terms, accepted that she was safe now, and she lived her life once again. Smiled, became really bubbly and entertaining, always had this certainty in her voice, and was truly smiling, and her brother seemed to help her through everything.
Remarriage #2 When her dad got married once again, after being with another girl for a couple months, Cleo, she knew he had made the right choice this time. Cleo had two sons in her previous marriage who had also came to live with them, and Leo [who was a year younger then her] became Ariana’s best friend. And rival. As he had the brains just as much as she did, they fought all the time but it was more of a nice family bickering. There were times when Ariana had downfalls, but she lived through them and she saw her younger sisters once in a while, but really not much of them either. Ariana was glad though when Cleo had another little child, a boy, and Ariana this time was the one helping take care of it. Really if you looked at Ariana now you would never guess that she actually had a horrible childhood, that her mother was locked in prison, and that it was only because of her father and brother that she probably was still alive. Ariana tried not to think of those facts herself actually.
Present: Ariana now is in her junior year. She actually is a year older then the rest but because of missing out on school for a year she did get held back to take the courses, but she blends in like she was only 17, and really there seemed to be a lot of people that it seemed to happen to as well. Being held back, everyone really admired Ariana at school now, she seemed to move so elegantly like everything was perfect and nothing ever went wrong, she always had this positive attitude that seemed to bounce on with everyone. Sure she did some stuff, she got addicted to smoking, and she drank a lot but she didn’t go near drugs, didn’t go near the whole partying thing. She liked living lie simple. With all the dram and stuff that happened as a child she really didn’t need anything more then what she had now. A simple life. Or at least not so much trouble really.

The Puppeteer Your Name: michelle Your Nickname(s): mich, michy, shel, michers, etc Years Of Experience: 3 years RP Example: Kat was in a very good mood this morning. She hadn’t got woken up by anyone and had actually been able to sleep in due to not having school that day and had woken up on at the lovely 2 in the afternoon so she actually had rest. Thank god her brother hadn’t been stupid today. Normally he was an early riser so would proceed to wake her up with him. Idiot. She hated being woken up, she loved her sleep and if anyone went to wake her up she would probably not speak to that person for the day, and would end up stalking off somewhere by herself or something. Though Kat did like being by herself as well, it was nice from time to time but she would rather be talking, having fun or just doing something she normally wouldn’t do but then again she liked her patterns. Doing the same thing, it made her familiar with each day and having no surprises. Kat didn’t like surprises much as most of the time in her life they proved to be bad surprises.
Sitting up here on the balcony she had her little note book sitting in her lap. Something she tended to bring along on most places that she went to basically because it was a life line to all those unshared thoughts, the feelings that she never actually let become released, much of the stuff like that. She never let people see what she was writing. Never. It was keepsake fro her eyes only. If someone ever took it from her, tried to sneak a glance at her and what she was writing, she probably would break down, mainly because these things were things that would make her have a weakness something she pretended not to have so she only wrote when she was alone, so that nobody could find anything else out about her that she didn’t want to be found really.
Looking up from her paper her pencil still held at the bottom of the page she pushed her blond hair back behind her shoulder so that it wasn’t in her way when writing and sighed quietly. Today she found it would be much better to talk to someone or go don something a bit more then just writing but right now she still was content with what she was doing. Maybe she would go name some wet paint signs later. She would have to think up more names though. It really would suck to not have any names on her thoughts though she could always think of something. Stretching she stood up and set her note book down still open with her pencil laying on top of it seeing the scribbles of her neat printing on the paper. She had never like handwriting, she found it was to loopy and much harder to read, preferred the nice straight printing though she would write from time to time, more when the teachers specifically asked for it like that or something.
Leaning up against the balcony gate that held her really from just dropping down off it she giggled and looked out at the water. It was pretty. Too bad she couldn’t draw, then she would probably come here quite the more often but because she couldn’t she came here if there was nowhere else that was quite enough for her to write. But most of the time she was where it was noisy and there were lots of people. She liked lots of people. Because she was different then most of them. Her hair the most different she found. Nobody seemed to have it so light unless it was dyed that color but her hair had always been naturally this way. She didn’t dye it much really, she had dyed it like an orange once and even though she had looked good she found that she much preferred the blond look for her, she didn’t go darker colors though, likes browns or blacks, she already knew it would look absolutely horrid on her.
Closing her eyes for a moment she shivered at the slight breeze in the air. She had her hoodie with her but didn’t exactly feel like putting it on. She liked the breeze, everywhere else it seemed to be so humid but here it was nice though also today was fairly cloudy so that might be it, she just hoped it wouldn’t rain but she guessed she had about a half hour or so before it came down. Well she would hopefully be gone by then. She didn’t feel like getting all that wet today especially when she was wearing a white top. Yea that would prove to be interesting, well then she had her hoodie. Maybe she would just stay up here for a bit longer. Instead of going back to writing. She doubted nobody else would come up here in the next hour or so anyways. Whenever she came up here there was nobody there. She didn’t like it much but it was okay. Calm. Peaceful. That didn’t happen much in her life.
Normally her life was really crazy and there was always something going on so she liked the peaceful aspects of it when it happened. That’s probably why she came up here sometimes, to get away from it all. The hectic place that she now had forced herself to call home even though London would forever be her original home. She had forced herself to call this place home, not because she liked it a lot or anything, but because it seemed to make her parents happy. They had noticed she had the worst time adjusting here, so they had tried a lot so she had forced her opinion of hating this place to her back of her mind and had convinced them she loved it here so much that she had almost convinced herself. Almost but she knew one day she would go back to London, where she came from and properly belonged and not come back here, just look at this place as some part of a vacation she took. She didn’t think her opinion would change but even as if she still believed that’s he didn’t’ like it here it was days like this that made her think that maybe she did, just a little.

Depending on what she’s wearing depends on what she likes to do her eye shadow color she likes to put on. She can go all dramatic and stuff to like just really normal and simple. All depends on how she feels and stuff. Its just the way she is.
Her Hair: Ariana has pretty short hair considering looking at all the other girls its much longer, and of course even the guys seem to have longer hair then her at some points. Its naturally a blonde colour but she dyed it at about the age of 10, as soon as she could to the brown colour she has now and she still keeps this colour as it suits her much better. The blonde reminded her too much of her mother and of course it looked completely idiotic on her, she knew that and the whole world did too. She was an ugly baby, that’s about the point of it. Her hair is naturally straight so she hadn’t really taken a straightener to it but she loves hairspray. Loves it and sometimes it gets a bit crazy at the amount she uses for her hair. Her hair is layered nicely and nicely pretty. She has bangs like most people do seem to now and they swoop to the side some of it coming in her eyes slightly. She would say that she ahs more of a scene look to her hair but not all out like some people do it just doesn’t suit her right.
Her Nose: Her nose is very cute like. It’s a bit odd to call a nose cute but that’s what Ariana thinks, she likes her nose and it its like overly large or too small or anything. She says she doesn’t look like her mom at all in her facial features. More like her dad then mum. It fits her face nicely and she finds that it doesn’t attract attention to her nose either. Its just there. She had wanted to get it pierced at one point but had never had gotten the chance to. Plus she doesn’t want to have too many piercings or anything either, just the right amount. And she doesn’t want too look to out there, just slightly different. Its just plain boring looking completely the same and all. So she goes different even if its just a bit different.
Her Ears: There really isn’t all that much to say about her ears. But she does get odd remarks about them a lot of the time. They tell her there too small and stuff but she just thinks its funny. There like small and pixie like type of thing and she would rather have small eats then big ears anyways. She found big ears made it look like your head was too small or something . She has 3 piercings and all and she always was changing the ones she wore. She never wore piercings to bed and all that as she somehow always managed to get them tangled up in the sheets. She had a freakishly large collection of earring though and she wore a different pair all the time of course corresponding to her outfit.
Her Height: Ariana is actually a bit short for her age, a bit shorter then most girls but not like the shortest person around or anything either. She reaches the height of 5’4 though she always makes it look like she’s that much taller wearing heels when she feels the need to be taller She doesn’t wear heels otherwise though but is in like love with shoes. She has tons of different shoes and she especially likes the comfy ones that you can wear all the time and don’t have to worry about getting the blisters. Ariana is never really brought down because of her height. A lot of people try to intimidate her because of how short she is but with what she had to deal with in her childhood she just pushes them aside like she doesn’t even notice them. Really she thinks because people are taller its not something to be al thingyy about. Its just another bonus, well sometimes. But being small does come to its advantages when it comes to hiding from people.
Her weight: Ariana is really small for her weight wise but because she is pretty short it does even out a bit so that she doesn’t look too small or anything. Even when she was a kid she was always small but she did have a bit of meat to her and all but once she went and lived on the streets for a year that definitely did a lot of change to her body making her just having enough meat on her to make it so that she wasn’t like anorexic. She does have a bit of a weight problem with thinking she is fat and all at times, especially when people poke fun at her and stuff so she doesn’t eat all that much. She can go for a couple days without eating and then she will just pig out and all. Its just the way she has always been, she figures eat when your hungry and when your not just find better stuff to do then force yourself to eat. It has always worked anytime before so as long as she doesn’t become too skinny she’s alright.
Clothing Style: Ariana does like to wear a lot of the light and more of simple type kind of clothing. She doesn’t really go and buy all the crazy type clothes but she likes to wear the whole skinny jeans and just a different type of shirt every time. She loved hoodies though and she wore them a lot and stuff. She got cold a lot so she wore more of the long sleeves and stuff so that she didn’t get cold. She wore some really different styles shoes and she liked the tops she wore even though they were different then what most people wore and she found with the clothing style that she had she didn’t really fit into a certain clique and all which was right and fine to her as she found all that clique stuff to just be a bit too much and she would really rather not be any part of it.
Personality: Smart: Ariana is incredibly smart. Because she spent so much time trying to hide from everyone she went to the library like a lot and stuff and was always reading up about something. In her childhood her main focus was on her grades, so she got good grades, stay a top of the class and when she wasn’t at home she was at the library. Really she spent her life around school basically. And now she just found it easy to learn the things that she was being taught. It helped that Ariana had really good memorizing skills and could remember things quite well. Ariana did have to work hard though to actually get the grades. Even though now she has a lot of friends and stuff she still puts a lot of time into her school work as that was just not a habit she could just break so easily.
Talkative: Ariana never used to like talking, actually she talked barely at all and only in small whispers, but that was basically because she was too scared to talk. Now that she is in more of a normal lifestyle she talks all the time. Even in her sleep she’s talking and she always has a funny way to putting things. She always puts things simply and like eve if it was something like she almost ended up breaking her back while falling out of her window or something it would seem like nothing went wrong at all the way she puts things. Its like when she talks she ahs this way that makes everyone seem so simple, not like there are any worries at all, and it actually seems to get them to want to talk to her more. Ariana just likes talking, likes smiling, and she just wants to make the best of each person that’s there around her. Ariana always has something to say and she never leaves a conversation dead like or anything, she can get a bit odd with her talking when she’s nervous and all but she still doesn’t make a big fuss over it. She brushes over things so easily its like sometimes she hadn’t even said anything hat had made one person embarrassed or something.
Creative: Ariana has this creative way with her lifestyle. She doesn’t like just looking normal, or doing normal things, even if she wears something completely normal you would call it once she adds something else to her outfit it changes the whole look quite easily. She has an eye for the things that are different, and she likes using different ideas and techniques that she finds in her day to day basis, just like with the way she talks, she has this crazy imagination and it comes out through how she speaks to others. This is probably why she likes o draw so much, and write lyrics and stuff like hat. Because of the creative skill that she has drawing comes easy to her, and she absolutely adores the abstract drawing, the drawings that link pieces of your life together, things like that. She likes looking at the world in a more of a different perspective then most people. She likes thinking that life is really just some sort of drawing that someone is making and your just living in that drawing kind of thing. Now she’s just waiting for the people to start jumping out of books, then life would really get interesting.
Random: Ariana is definitely in the key category of being random. She doesn’t like keeping on one subject very long as she gets bored easily and very antsy about certain things so she can blurt out anything and then go on about it for a while until they finally get off the subject they were on before and onto something more exciting at that time. Once you get to know Ariana you tend to notice that she does this quite a bit so they will either challenge her and keep droning on about what they were talking about before or not go into very much depth with each conversation and more go and switch subjects a lot. But Ariana didn’t like talking about normal things, she likes talking about things like why you cant have an elephant as a pet or how come you cant fly. Things that are unexplainable or things that will never come true because it made life all the more thrilling. She would talk about normal stuff as well but she loved asking question. She liked learning about things, about how people think of certain things so she asked many questions. Gradually but she did ask them and she always got different answers from different people and she found it interesting just how different people can be but alike at the same time.
Patient: Ariana is one of those people that is very patient. She doesn’t like rushing things and figures when something happens, something happens. She’s all for the whole thing if what happens happens, don’t live to regret it type deal. But unlike a lot of people she doesn’t like pushing things on people. She is very relaxed and if she wants to know something about a person she will wait until she knows that there ready to talk. She doesn’t like pushing things on them, she figures it just gets people uncomfortable and its better to wait then to have them hating your guts later. She learned to be patient through her brother actually, he always was very quiet and never quite outspoken or anything so when she wanted to know whats wrong she would literally wait for days at a time till he would eventually come and talk to her. She figures if she can do that for one person why not wait till the trust is there for another person. If you don’t trust a person your not about to go blurt out your life story or anything. Even she has to trust someone before she goes and gives a whole bunch of personal stuff about themselves to someone else.
Quiet: Okay so Ariana likes to talk a lot, she’s very bubbly and will go up to practically anyone but she ahs this quiet sense about her. Even when she speaks its always in more of a hushed tone and when she’s talking too fast you probably will miss the whole point of what she was saying. She never liked talking very loud, she doesn’t like people overhearing what another person is saying so she stays quiet. People around her are used to it and that’s just the way she is. She has a very soft spoken voice and she speaks quietly, like someone’s watching her, trying to pick up everything she’s trying to say. Even if she dos try and talk loud it only comes out in a more normal sound kind of thing. Its just not her style to talk loud and as much as she seems hyper and crazy she also is very laid back at times and really just a soft spoken girl who not many people seem to really get. Ariana much prefers to talk to the people that seem to like her and enjoy her conversation and not make fun of her because she talks in quiet tones, she doesn’t get what’s wrong with being quiet. Its not a bad thing really. It just seems like your more reserved and things and really she is the reserved type.
Reserved: Ariana didn’t like other people knowing a lot about her. She liked knowing a lot about other people but it was completely the opposite when it came to her. She found that she had a hard time explaining her ideas, her thoughts and stuff and she didn’t like talking about herself much. She was more of a reserved type of person and she very rarely opened up a lot to a person. She just had never been like that. She liked expressing her ways through drawings, and lyrics, stuff that people couldn’t really figure out so it was a lot easier. Plus she found even though she was reserved some people just knew what she was like. She liked that part, as she could tell when people actually paid attention to the little things then just one part of her type of thing. Really you had to know her pretty d**n well in order for her to open up to you and not act so distant from you. She liked keeping things that she knew and others didn’t know about herself well to herself. She didn’t go oh you know what I did the other day and wasn’t that type of person. If someone asked she would tell them but she didn’t like to boast about things
Dramatic: Ariana liked laying thins on thick. She likes going all into the dramatic stuff and would make it look really hilarious. And that’s what she tried to do. Even if she was just home alone sleeping or something she would go on about crushing on some guy that everyone knew she hated or something and just doing simple things like that amused her. She really just went over and above and really if you wouldn’t guess she did really well in drama class. She loved it and she liked keeping up the whole dramatic stuff and she absolutely loved talking in third person. It made it look all so childish and stuff. It really was quite cute how she could go on and make it so interesting, and she was always smiling, even if she tried to keep a straight face she easily failed at that and would end up giggling or smiling again or something.
Childish: At Times Ariana can act really grown up like she’s already an adult, though she kinda is since she is 18 and all but she really can act childish a lot too. She likes playing on the swings, going to amusement parks, going to the zoo, all the fun stuff like that, she really sorta skipped a real childhood so she acts all goofy and has that sing song type voice sometimes and will really just freak you out at the ability to become a childlike figure especially if you see her at first going on about something important and then the next time you see her in a little sand box making sand castles. She really is a mysterious person who really doesn’t make much sense most of the time but a lot of people like her whole split personality type deal and she easily got on with people even when she was acting all weird compared to her normal self. She just had there random hyper phases where all she wanted to do was go jumping around the park finding interesting things to do around there.
Spontaneous: Ariana really goes and does things out of the blue and will surprise a lot of people. Like Ariana hates doing the whole kissing on the cheek thing for obvious reasons. She hates the whole contact thing quite a bit but then sometimes randomly she will just hug you or kiss you on the cheek and it sometimes actually freaks people out. Also she isn’t into the whole party scene or whatever so people always seem to think something’s wrong with her if she does show up at a party or something. She will just have random urges like trying to boil a watermelon just to see what would happen or something, and she goes right ahead and does them. It gets her into a lot of trouble at times actually and really her spontaneous ways are actually a bit dangerous at times.

Svanjone: All that sleeps must wake « Result #10 on Aug 14, 2007, 11:09am »
S V A J O N E
For centuries, five wolves protected The Waking Caverns: a series of underground caves, deep beneath the surface of the Isle, essentially based directly underneath Melusine Lake. The guardians were Aperio, ‘open’; Fatus, ‘speak’; Degero, ‘live’; Necto, ‘bind’; with the last known only as The Fifth. Within the caverns were inscriptions and tablets, that would tell the lucky reader exactly how to perform the ancient ritual, and The Five were sent to protect it.
For The Five, Malaysia’s arrival meant trouble. To decoy her from ever finding The Waking Caverns, and, in turn, from finding the rites for the Almos Ritual, they separated themselves from their bodies somewhere near the mountains, then their souls returned to seal the entrance to the Caverns. They locked themselves inside, each travelling to their own cavern, and falling into a deep sleep.
Malaysia took little notice of the five apparently dead wolves: in fact, she knows nothing of the Caverns. It conveniently slipped the minds of the elders to tell her the legend, but it is almost as if she has a sixth sense. In a completely unrelated event – the drought, actually, to be specific – the Kol have seized Melusine Lake, and are under orders from Malaysia not to allow any Tundes or nomads to drink, unless they have something worth giving in return.
