I'll try this one :) It's my first time attempting advanced, so extra scrutiny is welcome ;P
Personal Information
Name: Alexandra Brown
Nickname: Sasha
Nationality: British
Age: 15
Gender: Female (Duh...)
Sexuality: Bi
Appearance
Description of Appearance:
Sasha stands 155 cm tall and weighs around 55 kilos. Her build seems skinny, but she is stronger than she appears due to regular exercise. She keeps her hair in line with a headband. You won't ever find her wearing make up.
Style:
Sasha is blind since birth. She doesn't have a clue how her clothes look like save for what she can get by the sense of touch. As such, she doesn't particularly care what she is wearing as long as it's something and comfortable. Despite all that though, she comes from military family, thus a lot of her wear is green or camo themed. She feels best in cargo pants and a sweater. If the occasion calls for it, she would wear formal clothes, but feels extremely uncomfortable in them, save with short sleeves and skirts. Omnipresent is the white stick, and she also doesn't take her shades off, as her empty, displaced gaze tends to freak people out.
Disposition
Likes:
With her handicap, it is only natural she likes things that engage her other senses. As such, food is her all time favorite. She enjoys both cooking and eating due to the work it gives her hands and the variety of smells and tastes. Eating as much as she does has a negative effect on a person's weight though, so she also exercises a lot, both out of necessity and to relax.
Dislikes:
Alexandra hates any mentions of her condition. As she was born this way, she doesn't understand the concept of sight at all. The only meaning the word color has to her is the wavelength of the EM spectrum as she learned in school. Maybe her biggest weakness though is her motion sickness.
Personality:
Alexandra's world is composed of what she can hear, smell, taste and most of all feel the shape of with her touch. She doesn't understand the concept of color aside from what she was taught in physics class about it's wavelengths. Due to her handicap she doesn't make friends everywhere, but on the other hand those who have doubts about their appearance approach her quite regularly. Sasha doesn't enjoy reality, often running from it into fantasies.
Fears:
Unknown places and enclsoed spaces can scare the soul out of her, as she is quite unable to navigate in them. Without the ability to see something approaching, she is easily startled too, for example by unexpected sounds or touches.
Past
History:
Born in Scotland to a military family, Sasha had genetic damage to her optical nerves, never able to see. That fact made it easier for herself and her family to adapt, as the girl never knew life with eyesight. Her father's money could buy the specialized education she needed, but when talking with other kids in the neighborhood, she always had the feeling she was missing out on life. She started withdrawing from people and staying alone in her quiet, dark room, with only a handful of real friends visiting her every so often. She tried to volunteer for some experiments that could give her sight, but the nature of her disability ruled that out forever once identified.
With her change in attitude, her family decided that perhaps a more lively and accepting place would suit her better and allow her to return to life without prejudice. The family moved form the smaller town into a bigger city, and after some adjusting, Sasha got used to it. She no longer attended a special school, only specialized courses, and after the initial ruckus around the "new transfer student" was over, more people actually started talking with her causally.
Recently she got bold and decided to try sports. Since there are only few that don't necessarily rely on eyes and with her good physical condition, she took up martial arts, namely wushu. Unfortunately during one of her training sessions, she fell into coma, and didn't wake up yet...
Other:
- She likes to keep her mouth and hands busy, making her look like someone who quit smoking. She keeps a jar of bubble gum on her at all times, and knows quite a lot of origami.
