Appearence:

Trillium has a pretty ovalish heart-shaped pale face that harbors wide dark green hazel eyes that generally have a rather odd dead look. But when she smiles, you SHOULD SEE her eyes twinkle. Seriously, watch. It's so cool. She has a rather large, slightly curved nose but it fits her just fine and goes with everything else on her face. Which includes her pouty lips which are generally at least a little chapped but she has gotten used to it and doesn't really care. She has pretty low cheek bones that just go together with the rest of her face. The only problem with her setup is that wen she is relaxing her face it looks like she sad. So people ask her is theres something wrong alot.

She wears eyeliner and foundation and occasionally lipstick. She loves to play around with make up even if it means putting on right before she goes to the store and takes it all off right after. But usually she doesn't wear a lot of make up, just when she is bored and feels like being a fanciful moose. Another pretty decoration on her face is her Monroe stud located to the left of her nose. Sometimes Trilly wears black rounded rectangles for glasses, but most of the time she wears contacts or prescription sunglasses.

Trilly is very Irish so she naturally has thick wavy straight orangish red hair and thats also where she gets her really pale skin. Her hair has dark brown low lights that she did herself which she is pretty proud of. She likes to dye her hair alot so something it will be brown red and a little later it will bright orange. Usually Trillium has her hair up with a head band.and she usually straightens it. And other days she does her hair super nice and curls it into loose ringlets. It just depends on how she feels. She also likes to wear tie-in orange dreadlocks which actually don't look that amazing but she loves them.

She is pretty thin and most of the fat on her body is on her stomach and thighs and any other weight on her is mostly muscle from her working out and getting in fights. She has bruises all over her 'cause she gets roughed up a bit on a regularly and bruises really easily. She definitely wouldn't take it very nicely if you called her fragile but it's true she is kind of fragile but she ignores that and pushes her bodies limits if she wants to ignoring the warning signs of serious injury.

Trillium is pretty open with what she wears. Mostly she wears short skirts and tights, pajama pants, jeans or yoga pants. And for shirts she will wear what ever, tank tops. Vests over t-shirts, anything. She likes to wear scarfs and is usually wearing a black wool jacket or a leather jacket. The mixture of her clothes is really diverse but the majority of what she wears is a black jacket over a long shirt or dress with some kind of pants on. She also likes to wear random hats and jewelery

Personality:

Oh dear the many different sides of Miss Trilly well lets start off with saying that Trillium is bi-polar, not diagnosed as so but she is and she knows it. So her moods change on a daily basis, not quite suddenly but slowly. Generally she is an easy going independent person, a little quirky, a decent sense of humor. Trilly is a kind of quiet person by herself but when she is around her friends then she might end up starting a riot. Most of her friends just bring out a loud out going person who will say whatever to anyone.

She's switches back and fourth between introvert and extrovert, sometimes she really reserved and won't socialize and other times she can't stand not to be around someone. So yeah, she's a little spontaneous and takes a little getting used too but once you get past the craziness there really is just a nice girl who just wants to be loved. Yup, very corny.

A odd overly-sexual side surfaces in her every now and then, where she gets very bold and flirts with anyone she thinks is cute, she has almost never let it go much further, or at least not with men.

Trillium is a really self-destructive person, whether or not she lets other people know but constantly she is putting herself down and blaming herself, whether it's her fault or not. The tiniest things make her want to jump off buildings. She analysis everything and every little mistake on her part she generally is really harsh on herself about it. So yes this means she is definitely perfection at times, as I have mentioned before she is very iffy.

Another thing we might as well mention is her weight issue. She will switch between throwing up almost everything she eats, almost not eating anything and eating like a normal person. She weighs herself just about everyday and is usually disappointed by the number that appears on the scale. Trilly is actually that skinny but she is way way far from fats. She's convinced that everyone lies to her about her weight being fine. She is rather stubborn at times.

She also has minor speech problems, for instance if she is a flustered or is trying to pick her words to carefully then she ends up saying words in the wrong order or blends words together when she speaks. It doesn’t happen too much but enough that she is always worried that she will fuck up talking when she's talking to someone she will be nervous around.

Trilluim has a pretty addictive personality, hence the cigarettes and the drinking. She mostly just smokes socially and when she wants to have something to do but if she doesn't smoke for a bit then she gets the urge to, and then she caters to the drug. And drinking is the opposite for her, she almost never drinks around other people. She just drinks to numb herself, not something she thinks is appropriate to do around other people. And she rarely drinks, she will when she has her hands on booze but she doesn't alot.


Even though Trillium seems like a crazy downward spiraling wreck she is actually nice and laughs pretty often. She is also very artsy and musical. She plays the drums, can play the piano a bit and sings, and sometimes both at the same time. She been playing drums since she was eleven and has gotten pretty good since. Her older brother Damon plays a great load of musical instruments. the guitar, bass, piano, drums, saxophone and the cello. Yeah, he is pretty amazing. So pretty much all her life her brother has been teaching her about music and the result of that is she can read and write music now and can play drums and piano.

Trillium was the fill in drummer for Damon's band when there drummer couldn't make it when she was around sixteen, and played at a gig for them once. She a pretty bad ass rock and roll drummer, not too mellow. After that, she didn't play in a band setting again. So she could probably use some practice playing with other musicians.

Another interesting thing about Trilly is that, she is, how she puts it, a graffiti artist. Which yes, means she tags and spray paints on other peoples property. No one knows about that but her and she would rather not tell anyone about it. It's a little bit obvious 'cause she always has dried spray paint on her hands and smells like spray paint, but so far no one has caught on.

Another thing is Trilly really doesn't like to think of herself as a wreck and hates it when other people do, whether she is one or not. She admits she has problems but she doesn't believe that she's only made out of them. Trillium has got some happy in her!

History:

So I guess we should start at the beginning, the very beginning, maybe a little before the beginning. Trillium's parents were thirty-four and thirty-five when they had decided they wanted another kid.Her parents already had a three year old boy. They lived in a little secluded community in the woods full of modern hippies, they home schooled there children mostly and grew a lot of there own food. So that's the kind of environment that Trillium was born and raised in. She loved it there, everyone was so nice and just amazing. She loved to garden with her mom and just had a dandy time.

After Trilly had turned three her mother got pregnant again with a girl. She wasn't totally psyched on have a younger sibling but after she was born she grew to like her a bit. Up until her sister was three, then she just avoided her. A year later the family decided to try something new and move away from there little community, they wouldn't move too far away, it was a half an hour drive from there home. Trilly was really upset she loved it there and she didn't want to move that's kind of around the time where her dislike of her mother came in. Her mother was really the one who was making them leave, in her little seven year old opinion.

They moved to the out skirts of Hillsburough, and started adapting to there new life. Damon, Dorothy and Trillium all started going to a private pre-k to sixth grade school and they made new friends and eventually got used to being in a new neighborhood. It was very odd 'cause you didn't really know your neighbors and you bought all your food and it was so much nosier. Even though they weren't really directly in the city it was a lot different.

Toward the end of there first year in there new home there mom got pregnant again! But this time with twins, a boy and a girl. Trillium was really not happy with that, she was content with the ways things were and promised to hate the new babies. And she has all her life. After the twins were born it seemed like her mother payed no attention to her at all. Never had the time for her, didn't make the effort. That's when trillium started becoming good friends with her older brother, her brother had felt the same way since Dorothy was born. Just a little neglected, she could relate better to him.

Not much changed over the next few years, her mother payed attention only to the small children, and some of the time not to her own husband, so he would spend time with the older kids mostly. As the twins started going to the school Damon and trilly had been going to, they switched to a alternative public middle to high school which was further away so Trillium and Damon took the city bus everyday together, they pretty much spent most of there free time together. Trillium had few friends at her new school and ended up befriending her brothers friend. She was a pretty cool ten year old.

Trillium had by now distanced herself from her mom, when ever her mom did pay attention to her she shied away. She didn't really want it anymore. Damon was the same, he didn't really care for his mother much. Their father turned a blind eye to his ten and thirteen year old's distance. He just didn't want to deal with it.

Damon started to get into piano and started getting lessons, naturally Trillium wanted to learn too so her brother taught her himself. In school you could take music and trilly started going to that too, she learned to read music at a pretty young age and is a little rusty on it now but remembers pretty good.

Around a year Damon stopped taking piano and started learning a wide range of instruments at once. He was getting into punk music and rock and wanted to start a band. A good amount of his friends were into the same stuff he was and could play some instruments decently. Trillium always sat in on there band practices and loved to listen to them play. Soon Trilly was learning drums, nothing else really appealed to her. She tried guitar once and then drums and she was obsessed. she loved music and was getting pretty into the punk style, even at eleven.

Trilluim started discovering all the new way of expressing herself and she loved it. Even though she was really starting to get engaged in music and was really enjoying it, she still had the dark parts of her life. She had started idolizing the local punk girls and there amazing bodies and beauty. Her self esteem was really diminishing not just 'cause of them but she got teased a lot for wearing ripped up jeans, black shirts and cutting her own hair. Trilly tried to ignore it but it still hurt, and most of the time she bottles up her emotions. Doesn't really have anyone to talk to, except her brother, but he had other friends and also some things she just didn't want to tell her brother. Even though her brother was her friend he was still her brother.

The next few years only got worse for Trillium she started to have mood swings and started cutting herself at age thirteen, only every now and then, she never told anyone. She also started to became a vegetarian and didn't junk food ever. Her brother had started to notice her odd behavior and talked to about, she said she want fine and she was just pmsing. But then she spilled that she had been avoiding fatty things 'cause of her weight. Damon ended up talking some sense into her and she stopped her foolish eating habits. She still wanted to be thin but decided to try and push it out of her mind.

Trillium had started playing with Damon's band more. She played with them when the drummer couldn't make practice or she would play for them when they had no drummer and they hadn't found one yet. She had been asked to join there band but she wasn't sure if she wan't to be in the band, she wasn't as good as the rest of the members and was a little too shy.

From then until now Trillium has changed for the worst mostly, her mood swings got worse and more frequent, she started cutting on a regular basis, and has gotten back into weird eating habits. She stopped eating meat again and started starving herself, then for a little while she was just eating normally again then she was throwing up every meal. Now she is going back and forth between those.

She moved out of the house and into a small small house still on the out skirts of Hillsburough but far away from her parents where she lives with her brother and her snake.

Trillium has a job at a funky hair salon that has a lot of graffiti decorations on the walls inside that the employees had done. Apparently they were really into graffiti and on the weekend they would spray paint big wood boards. that's how she started getting into graffiti. She watched for a awhile and she asked if they would teach her, and very kindly they did. As much as they could, lot's of stuff she had to figure out on her own. Now she does it regularly, but on her own and not on wood boards. On wherever she things it would look nice and not bother too many people. She's kinda good, and really enjoys it. Her tag is 'Hype', and can be seen around town.

Sample Rp:

Saturn sat on a bench in the quad. Legs crossed, her right black high heeled shoe tapping against her leg. She had her jacket's sleeve pulled up on her left arm and a black ink pen in her right hand. For the last ten minutes she had been doodling on herself since she was bored too death and left her iPod at home too charge. She had no books too read yet and the home work she had she didn't especially want too do. Not yet anyway. She was a bit of a geek since she actually enjoyed most of her homework if it included writing. Which it tended too. After taking up most of the skin on her arm with little heart or five letter words or less or any other things she could think of she pulled her hair into a ponytail and stuck the pen behind her ear. That was where she put her pens or pencils sometimes.

She uncrossed her legs and sighed. There had too be a better way to spend her time. She put her elbow son her denim covered knees and propped her head up on her palms. She looked around at the other people and wondered dully if they had more fun than she did. The answer would probably be yes. Her life could get pretty boring sometimes, she couldn't help but feel she was missing out. She shook her head, ridding herself of this thought before she could dwell on it too long. She chewed on her lips out of habit and closed her eyes. Saturn wished she had something to do, she didn't know any of the people surrounding her. Well reconised them and new some by first name but she didn't really know any of them. And if you knew Rhea you would get that she isn't really keen on meeting new people. With a pang she remember that she completely forgot too feed Belladonna. Her eyes flew open and she bit down and chewed harder, completely intentionally. "Oh darn..". He said with worried look. Bell would be fine but she was still worried. That this furry rabbit was one of her bestest friends. Since we all know Saturn is a huge dork you hopefully wont find it surprising that she talks too her bunny all the time and tells her everything when no one is watching or listening, and most of the time no one is. Oddly a rabbit is a very nice companion....sometimes.

The multi-color haired girl had a habit of talking too animals and stuffies, if you were alone all the time you would get why. They are good listeners and they don't talk back much unless you are on some sort of illegal drug or have schizophrenia or some other mental disorder that makes you hear things. But for Saturn they don't or she would probably be killing people since I am pretty sure if she heard voices they would be ones who tell her too kill people cause it will save the world or something that she might actually believe. Saturn could be gullible. But thank god isn't killing people 'cause she thinks it will save the world. Rhea's eyes flickered too a movement beside the bench. She looked down and she saw a caterpillar crawling across the ground. Her face turned too a melting fawning one. She got up and bent down too pick it up on her hand. She sat back down and giggled as the brown and yellow things crawled around on her hand. It was SO cute for her, she loved them. "I shall name you Jerimya-Tigby, and you shall be my caterpillar until I have too go too class". She smiled more the first time in the last four hours. She let Jerimya-Tigby crawl up her jacket sleeve before she said. How are you today Jerimya?. I am good thank you, do you really well that would be fine with me if wanted too". She picked up the small insect and placed it on her nose.

She smiled and watched in cross-eyed for a couple minutes before before saying. "Okay, now you gotta come off I am getting dizzy". She picked up Jerimya-Tigby again and put him on her hand again. Rhea just sat there idly chatting too the small thing as if it was talking back too her which it wasn't but she could pretend. "Now, tell me Jerimya, do bugs have pets?, no offense meant by calling you a bug". She said quickly. She nodded and said. "yeah I would think that it would be be hard with your current size". Her expression turned too compassion and her finger brushed the back of th creature. 'Don't say that, you are still growing". She smiled and said. "Okay then I will talk too you later". She got up and put Jerimya-Tigby back on the ground and sat back down. Saturn sighed and smiled. That had been a good talk. Man, she needed more human friends.

Impressive! Great use of vocabulary! The appearance was very specific and gave me a good idea of what the character looked like before I looked up the pb. I enjoyed how you began saying she was somewhat bi-polar and then went on to show the many different sides of her, completely backing up the idea that she has mood swings. The history was good. There were a few typing mistakes, but nothing too bad. And I like how it was just a normal childhood and then she became the middle child who got neglected so began to reach out for attention. Great character, great application, most definitely accepted!
