Appearence:

Holi has never been tall, which is really awkward due to the fact that both her mother and father are rather tall. Her father jokes that she isn't his, that she's from the milkman. He really can't deny her, though. Her hazel (though predominately brown) eyes are a mirror image of his own. She's also got his skin tone.

Natural has never been something that Holi liked to adhere to. She was born with blonde hair that got darker as she got older. By the time she was fourteen, her hair was dark brown. As far as Holi is concerned, brown is boring, and it's bad enough that her eyes are that color. She's been experimenting with hair dye for years. Initially, she stuck with basic colors like blonde and auburn. It didn't take her long to get bored with that and start mixing things up. Currently, she can usually be seen with black hair and brightly colored streaks.

Hair dye certainly isn't the only thing she's ever done that strays from the norm. Her clothes and makeup are rarely what would be expected from a well-behaved seventeen year old. She's partial to short skirts and skinny jeans. Most of the time, she can be caught in band tees, though she tends to stray toward skimpier clothing when she's away from school.

At sixteen, she pierced her own tongue, which might not have been the best idea she's ever had, but it's also the only really awful thing she's done. Besides that, she stick to shocking clothes and brightly colored hair and makeup. Her mother swears she's embarrassing and that she's tainted the family name, but Holi thinks fashion ought to be a character statement.

Personality:

Personality is a bit of a difficult thing to explain. First and foremost, Holi can't shut up. She loves to talk, she loves to sing, and she loves to play guitar. Silence is probably her biggest fear. Besides that, she only really gets her feelings out through music, even if people don't actually know what she's talking about.

Seriousness isn't exactly the easiest thing to deal with. Honesty is scary, and the world is a pretty intimidating place. While Holi is a terrible liar and tends to prefer to believe that people are telling her the truth, she tries to avoid serious subjects as often as possible. When she's angry, intimidated, or just feeling unsure of herself, she tends to get sarcastic and sometimes a little harsh and rude. She's not exactly the easiest person to get alone with. When she has an opinion, she tends to believe that she is right and whoever is arguing with her just needs to have their head examined.

Commitment is probably one of the most intimidating things in the world. Holi hasn't exactly had the best example of a loving relationship shown to her, and she does what she can to make sure that the myth of love doesn't find it's way to her. Actually, she tries to make relationships as meaningless as possible. She uses sex as a ploy and tries to prove that she can be detached as often as possible. She doesn't trust easily and can be very spiteful and childish when the occasion calls for it.

History:

Born in the heat of the summer in Hell, Michigan, Holi came into the world kicking and screaming. She was causing a scene from the moment she was born. Her parents were both from upstanding families. Her father was a banker, and her mother was the mayor's daughter. Before their daughter was a toddler, she was practically banned from official functions...

Honesty was something Holi learned about very early. When she was seven, her father came home one night without his wedding ring. She was sitting in the living room watching cartoons, and her parents sat at the dining room table. She didn't know what was said, but Holi saw her mother crying, and she saw her father pull his wedding ring from his pocket and slide it across the table. She wasn't old enough to understand what had happened, but she knew things weren't going to be the way she wanted them to stay anymore.

A couple of months later, Holi and her mother moved out of their house and into her mother's childhood home. Within weeks, they'd made arrangements to leave Michigan. Holi's mother hated the way people looked at her. It wasn't until she was older that Holi learned her father was gay. He'd left her mother for a man who had been his best friend for years.

Her mother stayed at work as much as possible after they moved, and Holi was left to fend for herself. The two lived in a small and rather shady-looking apartment in New York. Holi went to school most days, but what she learned the most from was the life she lived outside of school. By the time she was fourteen, she was into drugs, and by the time she was fifteen, she'd lost her virginity.

In an attempt to become a better mother, Holi's mom decided it would be best to remove her daughter from the environment. So, just before Holi turned seventeen, they moved to California. As if California had less crime than New York...

New schools and new friends aren't exactly something Holi is all that excited about, but she's going to have to make do.

Sample Rp:

(from another site... as i'm sure you see, i played a creepy killer.)

The police in this town were getting too comfortable. It seemed they had the ridiculous idea that this crime spree wouldn't effect them. That it would stay away from their families. But they'd been meddling in his life long enough that he was willing to mess with theirs.

The police chief had two daughters, and it seemed he loved them more than he even loved himself. It was just too bad for the two of them that they had to be so attached to someone he needed to get back at.

He'd followed her most of the week, and it seemed Danielle was always with someone. The stupid boy she'd chosen to spend her time with was apparently infatuated with her, and he might have presented a problem. It had never been the man's intention to have more than one victim at a time, but he'd have changed his practices to get back at Chief Trighton. Luckily, the boy finally parted ways with her on Thursday evening. He followed her to her car, careful to stay a few yards behind. That was until he saw her pull her cell phone out. Cell phones meant contact. That meant she wouldn't be alone for long.

Quickening his pace, he caught up to the girl within a matter of moments. His gloved hand wrapped around hers, tightening until she let out a shriek and dropped the little purple device. The moment it hit the ground, he brought his boot down on it heavily, crushing it so that she wouldn't be able to use the thing again. A grin twisted across his face, but she probably didn't see it in the dark. The girl's eyes were wide and dark, and he was sure she knew she was going to die.

"Hello, my pet," he greeted her, one hand tangling into her hair. Her mouth opened to scream, and he smashed her head against the car they were standing beside. She'd probably bleed, but she wouldn't be unconscious, which was exactly what he wanted. It was no fun to kill a person if they didn't realize they were being killed.

Left hand still tangled in the girl's hair, he reached into his black coat, drawing out a switchblade knife. He flicked the knife out and grinned, pulling the girl close to him and gently resting the blade against her throat, just under her chin. A grin twisted his lips. He moved the knife to just below her ribs and pressed a rough kiss onto her lips, forcing his tongue into her mouth just as he pressed the first inch of the knife through her flesh.

Out Of Character:

Hey, there! I'm Bobbie. I'm twentythree, which makes me really old, but I promise I'm not a creeper. I just have a crazy imagination and I really like to use it... I've been doing the rp thing for about two and a half years or so.... I'm not on any other sites right now because, well, all of the ones I was on died... So now I'm on this one, which I found via Caution. You can contact me via email, pm, or aim. My aim screen name is pressureredx0x and if you aren't familiar with the term "pressure red," it refers to the deep red of Hayley Williams' hair in the video for "Pressure."

Oh! Love the pb and love the personality. You hit the appearance dead on and I like her commitment issues. Loved the first line of the history too. They really drew me in. Interesting history with the father thing. Even more interesting how her mother was the mayor's daughter and that happened. And damn! That was a creepy sample RP, but I loved how you wrote it! Accepted! Duh!
