Abby is weird, sure, but she's the kind of weird that is uniquely freeing in an environment like high school and especially a high school where reputation is everything. Abby is the kind of girl who seems absolutely unaware of social expectations at BHHS to the point where she has, on more than one instance, seen an open seat during lunch and sat down even though it would be at the Hive table or the Elite table and anytime someone said "Excuse me" to her in an attempt to get her to leave, she would just look at them with her mouth full of drink or sandwich and ask "Why, did you burp?" If it was anyone else her words might've been seen as mocking. Maybe they were. But Abby just wanted a place to eat her lunch, what does it matter if it's where someone who was late to lunch was 'supposed' to sit? When she isn't causing international high school incidents, Abby is often found in the art room getting paint on her clothes as she works on her latest piece, failing that she's on the quad, sometimes twirling until she falls into the grass or other times just laying on her back - possibly even napping. She doesn't quite like the party culture that makes up interactions at school, preferring to spend her weekends at a gallery or eating rainbow sherbet and popsicles until her brain freezes. People haven't seen her at parties, but they have seen her at BHHS because it's hard to miss someone who is so loud without even having to say anything. [/indent] [sub][h3][color=86EDE8]►[/color] current dilemma[/h3][/sub] [indent]Abby, like any respectable high school student, is freaking out over life after high school. She hasn't applied to colleges because none of them really have any programs that interest her and she doesn't think art needs to learn math or other gen eds when she can just get some canvas, paints, and see what happens after six hours. But societal pressures mean that she has expectations of getting a career if not a college education but that is an equally daunting prospect. It may not be as dramatic as some students at school, but behind the ever present smile is the mind of someone who sees the future and for the first time in their life doesn't see a bright spot ahead.[/indent][/indent] [center]▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃[/center] [center][h3]Details[/h3][/center] [indent][sub][h3][color=86EDE8]►[/color] social media handles[/h3][/sub] [indent]Abby doesn't use social media because she's seen people who take it very seriously and they always seem like they're a drug addict but their drug is online interaction. The most she has is a phone for group texts. She has considered starting one for her art but she doesn't think there's much of a point to posting pictures of her paintings on the internet. She doesn't need those strange people who negatively comment on everything someone works on.[/indent] [sub][h3][color=86EDE8]►[/color] style [/h3][/sub] [indent]If there's a brand associated with the clothes Abby wears, it's not one of any real note. It's not that she isn't fashionable or stylish, it's just that her wardrobe is very...pastel. Someone once described an outfit she wore as "if mint chocolate chip ice cream was clothing" but she was wearing a very nice bright green that day. Abby often wears overalls that have paint on them - but only on days when she intends to paint. She always wears different eye shadow shades on both eyes, and they're always analogous or triadic colors. If one eye is bright blue, expect the other to be yellow or pink.

She'll take public transportation but only when other options have been exhausted. [/indent] [sub][h3][color=86EDE8]►[/color] occupation[/h3][/sub] [indent]She doesn't have a job but she does frequent the Creamistry a lot. A scoop of rainbow sherbet is her go-to.[/indent] [sub][h3][color=86EDE8]►[/color] extracurricular activities[/h3][/sub] [indent]She's a member of the art club and once got into a misunderstanding with another member who really wanted to only draw something called a 'doujinshi'. She didn't know what it meant and still doesn't.[/indent][/indent] [center]▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃[/center] [center][h3]Questionnaire[/h3][/center] [indent][sub][h3]Friends would describe me as _______.[/h3][/sub] [indent][color=86EDE8]"A pronoun used by a speaker to refer to himself or herself as the object or verb or preposition. That definition seems a little outdated in regards to modern understandings of personal pronouns but other than that it's a pretty textbook definition and description of the word 'me'. It's all hypothetical anyway, I don't know if I have friends but it's okay! I mean people are nice to me but I'm not getting invited to sleepovers. I have a pet frog, if he could talk I hope he'd describe me as a good mom."[/color] [/indent] [sub][h3]In my free time I like to _______.[/h3][/sub] [indent][color=86EDE8]"Well I like to paint and eat ice cream but everyone already knows that. I really like space I like to imagine I'm in space not like in a rocket ship or on Star Trek or something but just like...floating in space without a suit and helmet. But...yes mostly I like to make art, look at art, and eat ice cream."[/color] [/indent] [sub][h3]I would like to learn _______ in the next year.[/h3][/sub] [indent][color=86EDE8]"How to draw hands. Hands are tough. Well they're soft to touch. At least mine are. I think other peoples hands are also soft. I think I'd like to hold a hand to confirm."[/color][/indent] [sub][h3]This is how I define success and failure:[/h3][/sub] [indent][color=86EDE8]"I don't actully define success or failure, those words are already defined. I don't believe I can define them any better than the experts already have. Success feels better than failure but failure leads to success so you need both, I think."[/color][/indent] [sub][h3]I'm inspired by _______.[/h3][/sub] [indent][color=86EDE8]"Nature, space, the sky, life. Life is beautiful and messy and disguting and wonderful and interesting and so many people are willing to let it pass them by. All my most creative artworks come from life."[/color][/indent] [sub][h3]These songs are the soundtrack to my life:[/h3][/sub] [indent][url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ms6kC-3yq0k]"Europe Endless by Kraftwerk"[/url] [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryfCwiwNTYQ]"It's Not Up To You by Bjork"[/url] [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2EJMd7ZN7w]"Kill v Maim by Grimes"[/url] [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbkMPHW67xM]"Gangsta by Tune-yards"[/url] [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yDP9MKVhZc]"Two Weeks by FKA twigs"[/url] [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Vv_dkDwZeQ]"Wouldn't It Be Nice by The Beach Boys"[/url] [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRz2Zrw1St8]"Haircut by Petey and Miya Folick"[/url] [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_m12MnS85k]"AMERICAN GURL by Kilo Kish"[/url] [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3g7BSnavHH8]"It's Not Just Me, It's Everybody by Weyes Blood"[/url] [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7wkRET0hbo]"Abrasive by Ratatat"[/url][/indent] [sub][h3]My fondest memory as a child was _______.[/h3][/sub] [indent][color=86EDE8]"My parents wanted me to try an outdoor activity so I played youth league soccer. I played by the goalie because everyone had to have a position and that was the only one. I didn't do much except for one game where I got hit in the chest with the ball after a wayward kick which allowed our team to regain control and win the game. We got pizza and trophies at the end of the season. It wasn't until later that I learned all the kids on the team got a trophy but that didn't take away from the nice feeling of being a useful member of the team."[/color][/indent] [sub][h3]If I could tell my younger self something, I would say:[/h3][/sub] [indent][color=86EDE8]"Finger painting is a totally valid form of expression no matter what the babysitter said.
