Appearence:

Angie has a very eastern European look to her features making her stand out from many other girls. Her facial features are oddly proportioned making her far from typically pretty. Angie has always struggled with her appearance, never truly liking what she saw in the mirror. When she looked at her own reflection all she could see was her nose, which she hates. Angie wishes she has a small, cute nose that would blend in neatly with the rest of her features, instead she had the opposite. Her nose is quite big, not in length but width. It’s not the worst nose in the world, it’s straight and from profile doesn’t look to bad, but front on it is quite flat and wide. She always complained that it looks like someone has squished it down. Her next overly proportioned feature is her lips. Sitting underneath are a set of full, plump lips that some people would pay for. When she was little it was just another feature that she hated, but as she’s grown up she’s grown into her lips. Now Angie appreciates her natural pout. Slightly hidden by her nose, pout and stunning bone structure are her eyes. Her baby blues are quite small in comparison to the rest of her features, but they balance things out.

Angie’s hair adds a laid back element to her. She is not one of fuss around in the mornings with straighteners or curling irons. Instead she looks like she’s just come from the beach or jumped out of the shower, with a natural wave to it. It’s a rare occasion when her hair falls in perfect ringlets or is dead strait. The majority of the time, the most Angie does to her hair is run her hand through it. There seems to be a bit of a debate over her hair color. To some it is a light brown to others a dark blond. She thinks it’s a big fuss over nothing and settles the matter by saying it looks different in different lights, and it changes seasonally. It verges more on the light brunette side during the winter and when she spends a lot of time in the sun it bleaches it, making it lighter.

Angie stands at 5”9’ so she’s hardly small. Sometimes she wishes she was a little more petite, so she doesn’t stick out of much. Then again her long legs have helped her in cross country and various other sports she partakes in. Angie has always been an athletic girl, and her body reflects this. Angie has a pretty amazing figure. She is slim and toned, but with curves. She’s not extremely skinny from all the exercise she does, and she’s also not overly muscular. She has tried to train in a way that she keeps her curves and doesn’t look to think or over worked. Angie’s skin is naturally a light olive color, and from living in California she typical sports a lovely tan. Her coloring changes through the year depending how much sun she’s caught, but she’s never as white as a sheet.

Over all Angie has quite a soft and laid back style and appearance. From day to day she wears very little make up, choosing a more natural look that matches her hair style. Clothing wise she tends to wear simple things, not one to go over the top. Typically she’ll wear jeans and a t-shirt or a simple dress. She looks like the sweet girl next door, her kind nature reflected in the single tattoo of a heart on her wrist.

Personality:

Angie is a genuinely sweet girl. All through her life she has been the sort of girl who would share her chocolate bar with you if your mum forgot to put one in your lunch box, a bully had taken it or you’d absentmindedly dropped it on the floor. She’s the type of girl who you can count on no matter what. If you call her up in the middle of the night and need to talk, she’ll listen; if you get in trouble she’ll try and help you out. She finds it hard to be mean, she feels too guilty, even if she just thinks something horrible about a person. The main reason for this is she justifies the other person’s actions. Say someone was horrible to her, so she said something back or thought something horrible about them; she would then justify it by thinking, well maybe they had a bad day, then she’ll feel bad for adding to their hypothetical bad day. Angie picked up this habit from when she justifies her father’s actions as him being sick, blaming it on the alcohol rather than him or just blaming it on herself.

It’s kind of obvious that Angie can be a bit of a push over. She’s quite shy and timid when you first meet her. She doesn’t like attention to be on her because she doesn’t want people to find out about her home life. She has also learnt not to speak out of turn from her father, so she often forgets that not everyone is like that. Constantly being around violence she finds it hard not thinks everyone she doesn’t know is like that, so she can be cautious of stranger. When people move towards her to quickly or unexpectedly she can flinch away, though she tends to just laugh it off so people don’t think much of it. Once Angie gets used to you she loosens up and becomes chattier. Once you get to know her she just see a sweet girl who can be a bit quirky at times.

Angie is sweet and kind, but secretive about her home life. None of her friends know much about her, or her family life. Whenever they get on to that subject Angie will probably crack a lame joke, then change the subject or redirect it to another person. Other than that she wears her heart on her sleeve. She’s very open about the way she feels and always has her heart open to people. She tries to see the good in people even if they are jerks. This often can make her an easy target. She has been a door mat for many people, but she always forgives people not wanting to be seen as ‘the bad guy’ in the situation. She knows she should probably toughen up and she’s working on it, but she hasn’t quite mastered it yet.

Angie is an extremely competitive girl. The only time where she doesn’t hold anything back is when she is competing or practicing. From a young age Angie has been involved in sports, and she uses it as her release. When she is going something active then she forgets about everything else. She is on the track team, cheer squad and swim team as well as doing other things recreationally. If you want to know the real Angie talk to her after she’s just finished practising, as she’s still in her zone as she is genuinely happy. Normally she has a slight sadness in her eyes, but when she competes she forgets about things back home and comes out of her shell. That’s until the real world floods back and she puts her guards back up.

History:

Angelica Luna Millar was born to Hugh and Ellie Millar. The two were high school sweethearts, Meeting in freshmen year and never looked back. They were the most popular couple on campus, every one knowing who they were. High school was a dream for them; Hugh was the schools star football player and Ellie was his ‘perfect’ cheerleading girl friend. It really was something straight out of a story book or teen movie. They two seemed unstoppable and were the subject of many peoples envy. That was until Ellie fell pregnant towards the end of their senior year. The perfect couple who were meant to go to college and have a bright future were now stuck in their small town with a baby to look after. It’s needless to say Angelia wasn’t planned.

Rather than taking his scholarship to college Hugh began working at a local body shop. It didn’t pay much, but it was just enough for their one bedroom flat. Angelica wasn’t even one, when Ellie began work as a waitress at a local dinner. The two left their daughter with a neighbour so that she could have a roof over her head. The two had once been on top, the most popular couple in school. Now high school was over and their friends and even enemies were at college, they found themselves at the struggling to make ends meet, with a daughter. When they looked at their beautiful baby girl, they know they wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. Life was tough but they loved their daughter.

Life just seemed to get harder the older Angie got, but Angie helps out a little bit. When she was a toddler her parents got her signed to a child’s modelling agency. She was a particularly cute baby and it always help to have that little bit of extra money. The money helped when they moved into a new flat. Angie was getting older and really needed her own room and to pay for a sitter for Angie. They never really got to spend much time together as a family, and the time apart and stress or work and bills took a toll on the young couple. Hugh was no longer the charming guy he ones was in high school. The one guys wanted to be and girl wanted to be with. He was controlling, over protective and on occasions violent. When the couple weren’t working, they were either fighting or Hugh was out at some bar.


As Hugh’s behaviour got worse Angie and Ellie got closer. When Hugh would go out drinking, Ellie would read little Angie stories and try and distract her from the fact her father wasn’t around. This routine only lasted until Hugh came home from whatever bar he’d been in that night and the couple would end up fighting. Angie spent many nights in her room listening to her parents screaming at each other, occasional the two would never stopped until the police turn up. On a few occasions Ellie though about leaving Hugh, but she was scared and still loved him, even when he got rough with her. Angie never saw her father in this negative light until she was five. Normally little Angie would stay in her room, until one night she left the safety of her four walls to try and stand up for her mother. Angie got caught in the cross fire and knocked across the room. Of course when Angie was taken to the hospital for a broken arm the whole family stated it was an accident. Angie was just messing around like any child her age and ended up hurting herself, this was the story that had stuck ever since.

From that night on Angie never looked at her father the same way. She, like her mother, was scared of him. Her father would apologise after sobering up, but he continued the same violent behaviour when he was drunk. Ellie would consol her daughter, telling her that her daddy did love them even if he did get angry some times. Angie didn’t like taking about it, instead she threw herself into sports. More strain was added to the family when Ellie fell pregnant again when Angie was ten. With this news Hugh only became worse. Poor Simon Millar was born into a war zone. Luckily for him, he had a sister who would always look after him. When the parents would work late little Angie would look after her baby brother. Ellie knew it wasn’t fair on her, but there was no way they could afford someone to watch them.

Angie was growing up faster than most kids her age. She constantly had to lie about her home life, always had to look after her baby brother, and was modelling still to make money. At thirteen Angie’s modelling started to take off, turns out designer’s loved odd looking girls. Angie didn’t have the same love for modelling. She only did it because her mum begged her, and her dad left her alone. No one wanted a model with a black eye. She didn’t particularly like people prodding her, pulling at her, staring at her, telling her what to do, that she was perfect one day ugly the next. It was far too confusing, and only added to her body insecurities. She stuck at it for her family though.

When she was fifteen she started at Lincoln high school, and she actually liked it. High school gave her time away from her apartment and father. She made new friends, she joined clubs. School was like her safe haven, it had once been the four walls of her bedroom now it was school. On occasions she would turn up with a bruise, scrape, sprain or break, but like always she stuck to the Millar family tradition and made up some rubbish excuse. The year was starting off so well with the new school, but there was soon a dark shadow in her life. Unable to cope with her alcoholic and abusive husband Ellie killed herself. She left her fifteen year old daughter with the responsibility of protecting her five year old brother, from their father.

Hugh’s drinking got worse and he was fired from his mechanic job. Modelling only became more important to Angie. Not only did it help with the family income, but it gave Angie time away from her father and a chance to go around the world. She felt guilty for leaving Simon, but she knew her father would be worse if she didn’t work. Along with modelling and school, Angie also balanced a part time at the dinner her mum once worked in. Angie was a great pretender, always acted like everything was ok in the day time, but cried when she was at night. She always felt like telling someone about her father, but she was trapped by fear like her mother. When she started to build up courage to get help Hugh would beat her down and set the fear in her once more. Angie still managing to cover up her home life, but it’s slowing becoming harder as time goes on.
