Also, as for secrets, what kind of secrets are you looking for? Do they have to be big things like "I killed my mom and dad and my 6 birds" or can they be like "I like Hallmark Channel"

| In Depth Appearance |
Blake is very much an unconventional beauty. Her long blonde hair reaches just above her waist, often windswept and styled messily. Her eyes are slightly hooded and a piercing blue colour, framed by dark lashes and neatly-groomed brows. Her pale, porcelain skin is dusted with an abundance of freckles which become more apparent the sunnier it gets, also preventing her being sunburnt most of the time. She wears minimal makeup, as foundation etc. does not suit her freckled skin, so she usually just sticks to mascara and a nude lipstick.
She stands quite tall for a girl at 5'9", with 'legs for days' and a slim physique. Her style is often made up of the latest designer clothes, a few with the tag still on, mixed and matched to meet her own personal liking. Her colour scheme is usually dark colours with splashes of gold and silver thrown in, creating her own messy, put-together style.
| Quirks | Habits | Oddities |
Correction- Blake will often point out a flaw, or something unappealing about whoever she may be talking to. Although it is often seen as a low blow, it is really just her way of trying to help.
Playing with her hair- Since she has so much of it, whenever she is bored, or even just daydreaming, Blake will always have a hand braiding, twisting or running through her hair.
Sighing- A little gesture only those that properly know her will notice, B will occasionally let out a small sigh, even she doesn't know the reason, it's just something she does.

| Hobbies |
Flute- Something that she is truly passionate about, Blake is a talented flutist and devotes most of her spare time (when not out partying) to practising.
Shoplifting- she started doing this at fifteen years old, quite a lot of Blake's clothes and accessories are not paid for. It isn't something she does for lack of money, it's more of a social thing.
Socialising- Another skill of hers, despite her intimidating demeanour, is her social skills. Being a former Royal, she isn't a stranger to making friends and making it her business to know each and every person of significance.
| Secrets |
Anorexic- Having lived in a world of perfection all her life, Blake has always struggled to meet the high expectations of her fellow classmates. Of course, she found a simple cure to her stresses and her insecurities, and that was developing the illness of anorexia. She does eat, yet everything she consumes must be measured to the precise gram, and is often a pitiful amount.
Virgin- In a school where partying and boyfriends and girlfriends are a must, Blake sees being a virgin as being shameful, so instead pretends otherwise. This is a large part that played in the breakup with her former boyfriend.
| Fears |
Loss of control- one of the causes of her anorexia, Blake uses it as a way to regain at least some control over her life.
Not being good enough- There is a constant voice at the back of her mind telling her that she's doing things wrong, that people are laughing at her. It is something she doubts she will ever be able to get rid of.

| Personality |
Blake is an unmistakably complex girl; made up of many factors. One of her most prominent traits, however, is her bitchiness. Blake has been wrongly accused of many things, but she'll never deny that she is indeed quite a bitch. She does tend to have a bit of a 'better than thou' attitude, and she knows it. Chances are, she knows she's superior and better than you, and she'll make sure you know it, too. She's not a snob, she's just very opinionated. Despite this haughty air to her, she is really just very self-conscious. Her appearance is not something she flaunts or even likes, an aspect to her that will surprise most. It is because of this that she can be found excersizing excessively, eating the minimal, and spending hours over-analysing herself in the mirror.
But on the positive side, the girl always knows what she wants and how to get it. No matter what it is, she always has to be the best. And she will be. She devotes herself to her causes, and gives 200% effort. But only when she wants to. She is quite smart, and lives in a world of organization and perfection. Her 'I get what I want' outlook can be annoying, but she also has an 'I'm me and that's not changing' attitude, so she most likely won't care what you think. But when Blake wants something, she almost always gets it. It can be insignificant and material, like a new purse or pair of sunglasses. But some of her greater conquests are those involving people. When she sees something- or someone- she dislikes, she's not afraid to completely ruin them.
Above all, she is one of the best friends anyone could ever wish for. Her loyalty is unmatched; speak one bad word of someone she cares about, and prepare for Hell's wrath to descend upon you. She will do anything for those she loves, which makes her, in some aspects, an easy target for manipulators. It's as if she feels love stronger than normal people, it is all-consuming and overpowering to her and is both precious and destructive. It is her biggest strength but also her biggest weakness.
However, after her breakup and her being 'kicked out' of the Royals, Blake has kept more to herself. She still talks to a few of her friends, yet most have lost interest in her after her social fall. These days, it is not rare to see her sitting slightly away from her former group during lunches and gatherings. The most likely place you'll find her, though, is the Music department where you just need to follow the flute music.

| History |
Blake lived a pretty normal upper-class life until she was awarded the scholarship to attend St. Mary's Academy for her talent as a flutist. Her mother and father, at first, were reluctant for her to go as it was so far away, but she managed to persuade them in the end.
From the day she walked through the entrance, it was clear to see she was there to be at the top and only the top. She was one of the first Royals, not quite the Queen Bee, more a Princess type. It was when she was sixteen that she met Alexander. To her, he was the knight in shining armour she had so often dreamed about, and romance soon blossomed between the two. Their relationship lasted a year and a half, the majority of it being cheesy cliché couple stuff, like trips to the beach and an endless amount of #relationshipgoals selfies.
It all went sour when Alex started getting bored. He would invite her round to his house more and more often, and too many times she found herself pushing him off of her before they went too far. It was around this time that she started pushing away all of her friends, convinced everyone hated her and wanted Alex. This was partly true. It was late August that Blake walked in on Alex wrapped in the embrace of another girl. Not just any other girl, it was her best friend, Mindy. She then realised she didn't even know this boy, her so-called 'boyfriend' had never even met her parents before and she didn't even know his middle name.
Before she knew it, she was alone, or as good as alone. The relationship had ended with a screaming match in the centre of school, her friends had either already given up on her or felt sorry for her, which was something she couldn't stand. And, as her social stability slipped, so did her health and she began obsessing over calories and appearance. Maybe some parts of her still hope that Alex will take her back, who knows? Certainly not her.

Full Name: Sarah Patrice Day-Reynolds
Nickname: Sarah, it's kind of difficult to make a nickname out of Sarah
Gender: Female
Birthplace: Cambridge, Mass.
Age: 17 years old
Birthday: June 21st
Grade: Senior
Social Tier: B-list
Role: Prep, President of the GSA, Queen of the Gays
Sexuality: A huge lesbian
Relationship Status: Single
A P P E A R A N C ESarah gives off an incredibly graceful appearance, standing around 5'10" with long, well-proportioned limbs. Her face is well-proportioned as well, though her nose and mouth err on the larger side; she boasts full lips. Her long, wavy, brunette hair reaches her chest. She keeps it well-maintained and either wears it long or in a ponytail. When it's pulled up, it reveals a large heart-shaped birthmark on the back of her neck. Shirtless, Sarah is a little lacking in breasts, but she boasts a slender and well-toned stomach. If she's caught without makeup, the dark rings under her eyes betray her late-night cram sessions or partying. Though, odds are you won't catch her without her 'natural' makeup, foundation and concealer, with subtle contouring to accentuate her cheekbones and mascara.
Sarah favors light-colored clothes - whites, pinks, and light blues typically - and either pants or shorts. Occasionally, she'll wear skirts, but not without a pair of shorts underneath. She favors open-toed shoes, but also owns a couple pairs of sneakers and a pair of tennis shoes. Accessories are a must, she owns several hats ranging from knit-caps to berets; she also owns several scarves of varying colors. She's not a huge fan of jewelry and her ears are not pierced. In more formal or party settings, she favors minidresses and pairs them with a sophisticated clutch purse.
P E R S O N A L I T YTraitsSarah is a pretty girl, with low grades and generally self-centered. It lends itself to plenty of stereotypes. But Sarah is, by all accounts, a decent human being. Though she certainly sees some people as beneath her, she recognizes that there are others who feel the same about her and she embraces it. She's the president of a major club, with all the attributes that make a successful president - charisma, confidence, a colorful personality and a winning smile.
At times, though, Sarah semms very flightly. Not in an airheaded way, but in a distracted sort. She doesn't handle stress well and tends to withdraw to procrastination when the pressure is on. If she's not interacting with people she tends to withdraw to daydreaming to spice things up. Occasionally people catch her mumbling to herself, though they usually don't think much of it.
She uses her social status gracefully by doing her best to accomodate those that she sees as beneath her, but if you fall on her bad side brace yourself for cold and strained relations. Though, she is easily placated if you put forth an effort to appease her. Sarah loves to gossip and is you go-to-gal when you have some dirt to spill.✩ BenevolentQuriks/Habits/Oddities

She spends a lot of time blogging as well, both personally as well as for Saint Mary's GSA.

B A C K S T O R YSecretsSarah was born to Jewish power couple Anna Day and Frank Reynolds, who together own a large chain of department stores in the Greater Boston area. Her relationship with her family though is strained, largely by her parent's Orthodox disapproval of the friends of Sappho. This strained relationship was a major contributing factor to Sarah's decision to attend Saint Mary's. Sarah's parents afford the tuition and the room-and-board, though they've left her to fend for herself for the finer things in life.
She floundered for a while her freshman year, until she joined the school's SGA. She's been a big player in the club since then and now that she's a senior, she's been elected president - though she stylizes herself as Queen of the Gays. She's hovered around the border of an A-lister for a while, often times running in the same circles or attending the same events, although largely she's affiliated with the members of the club - some of whom are less than popular.
Without a way to supplement her funds, Sarah's first two years at Saint Mary's were unexciting, largely floating from party to party for entertainment and her grades suffered for it. Since junior year, however, she's held down a steady job at a cafe not far from campus. With more money to treat herself and make her own entertainment, her grades have improved but still aren't great by any measure.✩ Likes Hallmark Channel and the Golden Girls and is an all-around grandma when it comes to TV.
✩ Talks to herself a lot.
✩ Would go straight for Jason Momoa.
✩ Rinses, washes, but doesn't repeat.
✩ Likes cabbage.
✩ In middle school she broke a boy's arm for being a sleazeball.

| In Depth Appearance |
Alvrentasia is a natural beauty that rarely ever wears a bunch of makeup. The only makeup that she applies is generally a small amount of black eyeliner, mascara, and a dark red lip tint. Her body is slim along with her 38C cup breasts. Something that stands out are her emerald eyes. Most of her appearance was inherited from her mother. Her slim face and the emerald eyes are from her father. From her mother she got her thin lips, dark brown hair, and tousled wavy hair that she doesn’t have to do much to everyday. The only time she actually bothers to do something with her hair is when she is meeting with her parents. Her clothing style is proper most of the times. At least, at school it is. She usually wears blouses along with black skirts. Her style isn’t unfashionable or anything. It’s mature and she doesn’t wear things that expose her breasts. Desperate for attention she is not. She likes her simple style that keeps her in the background, Her height is 5’9” so it’s a bit taller than average. If you happen to see her out and about, you can see that her style is different. She wears combat boots, black, black, and more black. That's why she tries to not be seen outside of the Academy but if she is, oh well.

| Personality |
Alvrentasia is a woman that knows what she wants and she doesn’t want anyone getting in the way of that. She wouldn’t usually go out of her way to stop a fight between immature teens that can’t control their anger. However, she doesn’t judge people. No, not really because she’s nice. It’s just that she doesn’t have the time to be talking about others when she has her own life goals. Not one to try and understand the reason that people go out of their way to talk about others badly while they honestly look like fools for even doing so. Children. That’s all they are. But that doesn’t mean she isn’t sweet if you actually get under that thick skin of hers. She comes off as judgemental, serious, and poised. Quite the opposite though. Well, not the serious part. Alvrentasia finds her goals in life to be the top priority and will do her utmost best not to allow anyone to falter the barrier she has up in front of her almost 24/7. The poised part is wrong and you will realize that if you spend enough time with her. She is composed but she is not self confident. But she won’t let that part of her shine through.
TIme is money. A big believer of this famous line. However, she also knows that she has to let loose sometimes. Some people think that she’d be a goody-goody but they can be proved to be quite wrong. A daredevil if I must say, Alvrentasia isn’t afraid of much. Heights? She’s gone skydiving. Sharks? Don’t go that deep into the ocean. Peer pressure? You can try to sell her drugs but all you’d get is a roll of the eyes. Spiders or snakes? Please. When the going gets tough, the tough get going. She won’t be backing down from something she committed to.
All in all, Alvrentasia looks like she is unaffected by practically everything. No one could say that they’ve seen her cry or smile genuinely because her smiles typically look fake. She doesn’t do crying and she doesn’t do talking about her feelings because what she feels is her own business and she finds no use in telling anyone about it. What could they do about it, anyways? So she minds her own business and will only get involved in bullying if someone is taking it too far. A sweet girl is what you’d be able to see if she gets used to you. And that probably won’t happen if you’ve only talked to her 5 times. She is nice in general to people she just meets because her mother taught her about manners.
Alvrentasia has a soft spot for quiet people because you know, not annoying. Or maybe it’s because of a childhood friend that she had when she was younger. Quiet people are just so tolerable. It’s even better if they can handle “awkward” silences because she welcomes those. Nice people are fine but too nice is a different matter. When they’re nice to everyone and they come up to her looking for a new friend, that’s annoying. She sure as hell isn’t a charity case either. If she’s alone, that means that she probably wants to be alone. It’s not like she’s antisocial. She knows how to talk to people she just usually chooses not to. However, if she’s bored, maybe she’ll chat someone up. Unless she’s reading a book.A splash of the past
| Place of Origin |
Keswick, England
| History |
Some people think that Alvrentasia would be a spoiled, rich brat but they’re wrong. She didn’t grow up with a silver spoon in her mouth and she doesn’t need one in her life because she’s going to succeed no matter what. That said, she was pretty well off. Her parents had enough money to provide her with things that she needed along with extra. Not that she actually asked for anything other than her food and more books and textbooks though. Her mother was a lawyer and her father was a stay at home dad that loved alcohol. Needless to say, he was a decent father. A pretty good, decent father. He said good morning, made her breakfast, made her lunch, made her dinner, and let her try a cigarette when she was 13. It was a learning experience and she is a fan of cigs now. He may sound like a bad father but he was a sarcastic and funny guy who loved to do D.I.Y projects with or without Alvrentasia. He used to be a detective but then she came along and he decided to quit and stay home which he now probably regrets. Even with this, he was pretty strict and so was her mom. Her mom especially. She’s a tough chick that wanted, no, needs Alvrentasia to be successful. Some people think that her life goals is to be a violinist or perhaps an artist. No. Unrealistic. Her goal is to become a successful doctor. Is it because she wants to help people? Not really. It’s mostly so that she brings in the big bucks. Perhaps she’ll even become the owner of her own company but for now, she’s sticking to a doctor.
Alvrentasia’s parents fought often. So much that she wondered why the hell they were together. Marriage was supposed to be about love. At least, that was what her parents told her when she was 6 years old. They sometimes get so loud that the neighbors called the cops once because her father threw a vase which shattered into a bunch of pieces but Alvrentasia was unphased. She was used to their childish ways of letting out anger and her mother had only been hit once or twice when her father was a bit drunk. Other than that, a great family. When they fought, Alvrentasia just took out her violin and began playing. The violin is a big part of her life. It was something that she had received from her grandfather when she was 7 years old. Of course, she couldn’t do much with it since she was only 7 but she since then, she played and played until her fingers would get numb. She found it as a way to escape. For a while, her grandfather taught her how to play but that that only lasted until she was 10 years old because he then died. She didn’t cry at the funeral and she didn’t cry when she got home from the funeral. She just started playing the violin and that was when the tears started coming out. Probably the most she’s ever cried in her life.
Art came in a bit later. Her mother had done it when she was younger so she practically forced it onto Alvrentasia. Sure, it started off as a drag but soon, it became just… a way of her daily life. She went to art classes 2 times a week and drew whenever she got home. Typically she uses watercolor or a simply pencil when she is doing art. When she drew, Alvrentasia was completely immersed. Not as much as when she played the violin but almost. Flowers are nice to draw but most of her drawings are… depressing to say the least.
Middle school was just her reading 24/7 and cursing at people that came up to talk to her. Surprisingly, she never had a rebellious phase with her parents. Some people would say that she did in middle school but her parents don’t bother with her personal life enough to actually know about those details. She started drinking at age 15 and that was something that looked inevitable from the outside due to her alcoholic of a father. But she didn’t drink all of the time. Only when she was bored. Other times she could either be found drawing, playing the violin, or studying. Especially studying. Alvrentasia studies obsessively and to the point where she could be considered a nerd. She won’t become a doctor without lots of studying. An intelligent female is what Alvrentasia is for sure. A classic all A student with a sharp tongue and she’s headed places.
