Ebony is a brown skinned girl of average height, standing at five feet and four inches tall. Her naturally black hair, when straightened, falls to the top of her waist, though she usually wears it in a large, curly afro which she has recently died dark brown. In a way this made her more beautiful, as the deep brown complimented her eyes which were of a similar shade. Her eyes were without doubt the most captivating aspect of her appearance, reflecting a look of wisdom far beyond her age that could not help but draw people in. She did not care much for wearing makeup, instead favoring a neutral look to compliment her natural beauty. The most she'd wear would be a dark brown lipstick, and winged eyeliner. Having been an early bloomer, Ebony has a curvy figure, which she usually hides with loose clothing. Her clothing style varies. On most days she'll wear a pair of boyfriend jeans, a plain or graphic T-shirt, and sneakers. On other days she will wear her sneakers and shirts with a pair of leggings or shorts.

Free-Spirited * Creative * Risk-Taking * Assertive * Secretive

Ebony has always been a carefree girl. She learned to be that way because life is too short to dwell on your mistakes or mishaps. She is someone who isn't weighed down by the troubles of everyday life, and is always herself regardless of the situation and lives life to the fullest. She's not restricted by other people's opinions. Ebony is girl who still smiles when things aren't going too well, taking a positive outlook on life and trying to make the most of it - her spirit isn't damped by little things in life, she's free spirited. She is sometimes overly guarded and secretive. When everyone is talking about more personal subjects she is good at hanging back and not contributing, changing the subject, taking the attention off of herself, or giving vague, evasive answers. She hates talking about herself, but, being the observant person she is, loves to hear about others. She's an overall fun person to be around, as long as you're someone she finds to be a good person.

Ebony lives with her Aunt Lisa and her son, Samuel. They live in a small apartment not too far from the school.

Even if she was old enough, they wouldn't be able to afford one.

From a young age, Ebony has learned to be tough and look after herself. She grew up in a bad neighborhood in Brooklyn, NY with her single mother. Because their mom worked long shifts at the diner to keep a roof over their heads and food on the table, Whit was practically raised by her neighbors. Her father was too busy running around in the streets to take care of them. Eventually he just stopped coming around. After a while, her mom finally started to give up. She lost her job, started drinking, and brought different men home every night. One day, when Ebony was eleven, her mother packed Ebony a bag and drove her to her Aunt's house. She told her that she'd see her soon, but after she left, she was never heard from again.

Determined to not let her terrible past affect her future, Ebony decided to continue to look and move forward. She introduces her Aunt Lisa as her mother, and her cousin as her big brother.
