In Depth Appearance: Standing at about h'8" and weighing an unhealthy one hundred and twenty-five pounds, Hunter is slim, tall, and knows how to show it off. Despite using she/her pronouns, Hunter is nonbinary, and this is shown off through her varying outfits, use of makeup, and vanishing curves. Her face is angular, with lush lips, a narrow nose, and large blue eyes, which contrast well with her short, ever-changing hair. She has a very androgynous build, with fair, easily tanned skin and many bruises and blemishes from drunk adventures and childhood mishaps. Her arms, back, and torso are covered with many colorful tattoos, most referencing very old, nerdy TV shows and bands. Normally binds her breasts despite having very little curves.
Band shirts, sweatpants, skinny jeans, and loose tank tops fill her closet, and there are very few dresses and skirts. To more formal events she dawns dress shirts and sweater-vests, and thanks to her growing interest in fashion she always matches. When not prancing off to a party or lurking around the mall with friends she dresses like a slob, throwing on willy-nilly as an attempt to stay out of the nude. Normally wears contacts, and at night can be seen wearing very round glasses.

While on the surface Hunter appears sweet and friendly, often coming up to strangers with a wide smile and friendly tips, she is far from being a king soul. With a biting wit, a sailor's mouth, and devilish eyes, Hunter often approaches others with an insult already in mind. Rather mischievous and childish, Hunter often pulls practical jokes towards those she deems worthy, and despite always getting caught she just can't stop making them, finding even the most mundane attacks to be hilarious in some manner. Though she is quite talkative, Hunter has few close friends, finding that her mind simply has problems trusting people easily. Due to her cynical mindset, after her initial friendly greeting she will slowly grow more and more abrasive the longer the conversation goes on, until eventually she just runs off to cool down.
An art student before everything else, Hunter has a very vivid imagination, which is evident in most of her more fantastical pieces. Despite being very invested in her school work, Hunter is far from smart, and relies more on her keen eyes rather than her brain in classroom environments and stressful situations. School never really clicked with her, and because of this she is a rather bad student in classes that do not involve art in some way. Idiocy in the classroom aide, Hunter can be considered very adept on the streets and knows her way around even the most sketchy-feeling areas. Open-minded, Hunter is always open to ideas and questions, and has many strong liberal views despite hating politics to death.
Thanks to growing up in a rough neighborhood, Hunter had once taken part in many fist fights and verbal arguments, and though she rarely has the need to now a days she always remembers her father's fighting advice. With her strong eyes and sharp tongue, Hunter really does appear to be some sort of ruffian at first, one who can handle themselves under pressure, but in actuality she is quote fragile mentally. If too much stress is put on the skinny lad's shoulders she will easily snap and end up fleeing to hide away from everything causing her grief. Hiding her fears and insecurities is something Hunter does very well, so when she finally lets everything spill out it is nearly unbearable. To keep situations lighthearted and not worrying, Hunter cracks jokes, most being particularly dirty, and tries her best to keep everyone smiling. Her pseudo-optimistic attitude is only rivaled by her cynical and cold personality when she is near untrustworthy people. Thanks to her upbringing (and her father), Hunter a very crass way of speaking, and despite being kind of bitchy to those she had met a few times already, HUnter tries to act as kind as her mind will allow.
"Wubba lubba dub dub!"
History: Born to a rather successful studio artist and a thespian, Hunter grew up in a decent flat in NYC. Known as 'Marie' back then, the young child spent most of her days watching her father paint, and as the many canvases filled with strong lines and colorful paints, inspiration began to bloom in her head. With her father's guidance, Marie began building up her artistic skills with various paintings and drawings, and she was often taken out and about the city to learn about techniques that could be seen in real life. Marie's upbringing was mostly based around her father and his articulate yet abrasive ways of showing her the world, and because of this she grew into a child with a sharp eye and a sharper tongue.
In her second to last ear of middle school, Marie's parents had a sudden falling out, leaving the poor child in the dust as she watched her father attempt to gather the shambles of his life. A year passed, and the divorce had been such a mental block for Marie's father that he decided to simply move far, far away from the source of his worries. Marie, of course, followed him all the way to California, and she entered Beverly Hills High School with her head held high and her lips drawn tight. As a freshman, she felt rather left out and alone, and she was quickly diagnosed with depression and gender dysphoria after having a break down in the girl's locker room.
Marie's sophomore year was spent looking for herself, and while out and about with her dad one day her eyes settled upon one of the most beautiful people she had ever seen walking passed them on the sidewalk. They were completely androgynous and confident, and that inspiration that filled Marie's gut as a child once again bloomed. That same night, she searched through countless pages of genders until she found a term that fit her perfectly. Nonbinary. The rest of her sophomore year was spent transforming herself, changing herself, until eventually she entered junior year not as 'Marie', but as 'Hunter'.
The rest of her high school career leading up to the present was spent in art rooms and parties. Feeling more comfortable with her body, Hunter became confident enough to start flirting and gaining closer friends, and thanks to her father's understanding nature whatever worries she had left all seemed to fade to the back of her mind. Her plans for senior year are simple: paint more and have fun, and damn is Hunter going all out to achieve her goals.

And I wish I could pretend to be
All of the things you think you see in me
But I am not that guy, that guy just left
He had his collar up and there was smoke on his breath
