Appearance: (see picture above) Mira stands an fairly average 5'5" with a thin but curved figure. She has no muscle, as she puts it, not even able to do a single push up if you asked her. She has tan skin, partly natural, partly from tanning purposefully. Her eyes are a brilliant green hue, and her hair dark at the roots before fading to blonde at the ends. Her hair reaches just below her bust, and is naturally wavy. She has freckles dotting the bridge of her nose and cheeks, but usually wears makeup which covers them. Her eyes are a little too far apart as are her eyebrows, giving her a more unique appearance. She has three tattoos, a butterfly on her hip, a peace sign on the inside of her right wrist, and black feathered wings covering a good portion of her back. She has two piercings in each ear but otherwise no others. She keeps her toenails looking nice but her fingernails are never painted and often chewed to the quick. She usually wears summery clothes until she absolutely has to wear something for the cold, hating being completely covered up.
Name: Mira Paxton
Nickname: M&M, Em
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Likes: Alcohol, partying, rebelling against authority, sleeping in, sunglasses, loud music, and dares
Dislikes: Rules, school, other people in general, people who are mean for no reason, complainers, country music, and truths
Personality: Mira has two sides to her personality like most people. When she's happy, doing and getting what she wants, she is great to be around. A good friend, fun, easy to talk to. When she is dead sober or hungover, being forced into something or other, she is irritated, snappy, sarcastic, and rude. She has a wall up that would be difficult for anyone to break down at this point, and she believes pushing people away keeps her safe. She likes having friends, but only at a safe distance. And she hasn't had a boyfriend in 2 years. Her greatest fear is getting hurt. Again and again. So she will hurt others first to keep them at bay. Past her wall, she is still like a little girl, wanting love and affection, someone to care and listen.
History: Mira grew up with her mother only for the first few years of her life, until she remarried when Mira was 4 to a man who had a son. Mira was a rebellious and difficult child after that, acting out in hopes of getting attention. She never did particularly well in school, though she displayed plenty of intelligence when she had to. After everyone kept telling her she needed to do better in school, they were disappointed in who she was, she could be so much better than she was, look at all these other little girls who were behaving 'right', she gave up. She decided she hated those older than her who got to decide if she was smart enough, well behaved enough, or anything else. She withdrew and by age 12 got involved in drugs. By 13, she was an addict. Her parents sent her to a rehab facility for teens and she returned at age 14, clean. But, by age 15, she'd picked up drinking again. However, they noticed drinking actually made her less trouble for them. She was happier in general, she screamed and cried and threw things less. She made more friends and kept C's. So they let her have her vice. She still had rages though sometimes, screaming and hitting anything near her, resulting in scars on her body she has no idea how they got there. Needless to say, when the opportunity came to volunteer a girl to give to some beasts, Mira was one of the first names to pop in some people's heads within the town, even her own parents. So she was handed over. (There are many secrets and details I left out as to why Mira is the way she is, but I would rather reveal those within the IC if that's okay).

I'll say 'never again' and find myself in someone else's bathtub by morning.
