Appearance:

Michelle has always been the girl who loves what she sees in the mirror, or so she lets off. Her dark brown, almost black hair has always been kept at the same length for as long as she can remember. She likes having her hair long, to the middle of her back, because it is easier for her to handle and take care of. Michelle always has her hair have different layers and it is never all the same length. Normally she is seen with a slight curl to her hair, but on a rare occasion she has it straight. She is a firm believer that a persons hair makes them so she never dyes it or changes her natural hair color in any way.

Shelley finds her eyes to be her best feature. Most people find brown eyes boring but she loves her brown eyes, they are the one thing she had in common with her mother. When she was younger her mom use to tell her that the song "Brown-Eyed Girl" was her them, and even though now she knows its not true she still has always liked her eyes ever since then. Even though Shelley loves her eyes, she normally is seen wearing eye make-up to bring her eyes out even more. She normally wears a light color of eye shadow paired with liquid eyeliner on the top eye lip and mascara. When she wants to be noticed she adds glitter to her eye shadow to bring more attention to her eyes.

A wide majority of the time Shelley is never seen in the same exact outfit twice. From going to Central High School and being in the Legends she learned to always dress to impress, which meant never wearing the same thing twice. She wears everything from dresses, to leggings, to simple jeans. She does "recycle" clothes by wearing them more then once but she never wears the same two things together. She is normally seen wearing her sterling silver heart necklace everyday because it was once her mothers. Shelley is also normally seen wearing multiple accessories such as belts, earrings, other necklaces, rings and bracelets.

Personality:

Many people believe that Shelley, for a lack of better words, is a bitch. She carried herself with an attitude that basically tell people to back off if they know what is good for them. During high school she ran with the royal court so she had to carry herself with a bitchy stuck up attitude so that was how people saw her now. She was often very manipulative and with a simple bat of her eyes could get the lower class boys to do whatever she wanted for free. She even managed to get a few teachers to let her hand in her homework assignments late by just batting her eye lashes and playing a sweet innocent role.

Where as some people lacked confidence, Shelley had enough for the whole town. She knew she was hot stuff and she let it be known. Whenever she walks anywhere, no matter where she was, she always looked at where she was going and never once looked down at the floor. She was the one who would be looking down at everyone, not them looking down at her. She also discovered at a young age that many people weren't comfortable with direct eye contact so whenever she wanted to try to frighten anyone to doing what she wanted, she made eye contact first before planning her attack.

Despite the way she carried herself, the people she was close to got to see the real Michelle. Around her family and her very close friends she was sweet and caring. She still kept her confidence up, that was a given, but she was a lot more carefree around her friends and family. Whenever she hung out with anyone from the royal court, one on one, she let her true side show but always got right back into character when there was a large group of people. Now being in college she carried her same behaviors. She kept her confidence in the halls and didn't let anyone intimidate her. The only thing different was she was doing her own course work instead of trying to get someone below her to do it.

History:

Michelle's life is similar to many of those from her group. She was born to two parents who were in the show business. Her dad was a big time director and her mom was an actress. At the time her parents weren't married, they were having a secret relationship that soon rocked Hollywood when they became pregnant with Michelle. Once the news broke about the upcoming baby, they got married before Michelle's mom, Daisy, began to show. Michelle's dad, Robert, was always a working man, he decided to work harder as well as longer hours to get ready for when the baby was born. Daisy on the other hand finished the movie she was starring in and said good-bye to Hollywood. She wanted to be a stay at home mom and not have her child raised by a nanny.

On December 15th the couple welcomed their beautiful baby girl into the world. Daisy thought that once the baby was born that Robert would decide to stay home more often to help raise her and be a part of their daughters life, but she was proven wrong. After Michelle Raleigh Montgomery entered the world, Robert Montgomery began to work even harder. Daisy never understood why her husband did not seem to want to be home to help out with their daughter but she never questioned him on it. Since she had said her good-byes to Hollywood, Robert was the one who would be paying for everything that baby Michelle needed so she let her husband work as hard as he wanted.

Once Michelle was old enough, Robert decided that he wanted Daisy to enter her in beauty pageants for kids. Going along with what her husband said, Daisy did just that. Michelle was a beautiful children, brown hair and brown eyes. Daisy had made sure to grow Michelle's hair out so it would be at the middle of her back. That way Daisy would be able to do whatever she wanted to Michelle's hair, she also use to tell her daughter that all the pretty princesses had long hair. And that was exactly what Michelle was to her mother, a princess. Not long after Michelle began to win her beauty pageants, her regularly absent father decided he wanted her to be in commercials. Daisy did not agree with him, she wanted to keep Michelle out of the Hollywood life but Robert would not have for it.

Thus began Michelle's childhood acting career. She did a few commercials as a kid and as she grew older so did her talents. When she was ten she was on the set of her first television show in which she would be made a regular character when she saw her dad walking onto the set and right towards her. The day was June 18th and it was a day Michelle remembered every day. When her father had reached her, he put a hand on her shoulder and spoke the simple words of, "Your mother passed away in a car crash this morning". Once he was done talking he turned on his heels and walked away to go tell the director the news, but Robert being Robert told the director to continue on with filming.

Michelle continued her acting after that. She had no choice, she now had to do whatever Robert wanted her to do. He slowly formed her to be what he wanted her to be. The perfect American teenager, who got good grades in school and was able to handle a stable acting career. Going to high school wasn't tough for Michelle. She often was able to get nerds or other kids in the lower social classes to do her work for her when she had to attend Hollywood gatherings and other social events. She tried to do her own work because she wanted to be more then just a beauty, but trying to balance everything grew hard for her. The teenager was able to keep up with her schooling and acting jobs throughout high school. But once senior year came she decided to follow in her mothers footsteps.

She approached her dad with an idea that she thought he would turn down right away. Michelle arrived home from school the first day of senior year and marched through her dad's mansion straight into his office and told him, "I want to actually go to college. I want to take a break from acting. I just want a normal life." She thought for sure her dad would turn her down and tell her no but to her surprise he said, "If that is what you truly want then okay." Then he went straight back to his work.

After that day Michelle kept her applying to college a secret from her friends. She didn't want them to know that she was leaving the limelight for a while to get her degree in law. She knew they wouldn't understand her wanting to actually make a name for herself instead of living in the spot light all the time. She managed to finish her senior year one of the top in her class, with some help from her faithful nerds and was determined to attend Central College to get her law degree and kiss Central good-bye.

Sample Rp:

Michelle Montgomery woke to the sound of her clock radio going off. She groaned and reached her hand over to slap the clock's snooze button which would grant her an other glorious fifteen minutes to sleep. Once she heard the alarm go off again she sighed and pushed her blankets off of her and sat up on her dorm bed. She stretched her arms above her head and smiled when she felt her back crack all the way down. She looked down at her cluttered floor and realized it was a good thing she lived in a single, she would have been killed if she had a roommate.

Her eyes drifted over to her clock and saw that it was 7:30 A.M. She let out a small scream and gathered her shower caddy as she ran to her private bathroom. She quickly turned on the water and took off her black tank top and red shorts that she wore to bed. After a quick shower she wrapped her towel around her and ran back into her room to determine what she would be wearing that day. She was only two weeks into her sophomore year of college and she was already running behind her scheduled out time. She quickly decided on a pair of skinny jeans and a purple frilly tank top. As she towel dried her hair she searched under the dirty clothes on her floor for her black flats. She finally found them under her math notebook and did a little happy dance as she put them on.

She quickly dashed back into the bathroom to brush her teeth and attempt to do something with her hair. Since she didn't have time to blow dry it she put scrunching spray into it and scrunched her hair up. Once she was done with the spray she brushed her bangs to be parted down the middle and she grabbed a hair clip. She took the top part of her hair and brought it back into the hair clip so most of her hair would be out of her face for her classes that day. Once she was happy with her hair she quickly applied her black liquid eyeliner to her top eye lid and put mascara on both her top and bottom eye lashes. Adding a quick swipe of clear lipgloss she ran out of her bathroom and grabbed her laptop bag off her desk and ran out of her door.

"I've never been more grateful for self locking doors in my life." she said quietly to herself as she made her way down the hall and down the stairs to the bottom floor of her dorm building. She stopped to look at her reflection in the window by the door to exit her building and she gave herself a small smile. "Get out there and win." she said in her head, which was something her dad always told her. Michelle finally exited her building and rushed her way to her first class, this was going to be a long year.

Lovely application love! I really got into her history and it's nice to see that she's sticking to what her mother wanted and not getting into show business. I also like that she hasn't changed that much from highschool and I can see her bitchy streak making for some interesting plots. Move to Sept Thrre, make your claims and you're ready to start posting.
