|| MORE IN-DEPTH APPEARANCE ||Tay is a petite girl standing only 5'3" tall, with a small body frame. She wishes that she were a little more full figured, but her light frame makes her perfect for all the athletics. She physically fit, with a muscular stomach and legs in particular. She works hard to hide any and all imperfections, feeling it important to put her best foot forward at all times. She's rarely, if ever, caught without make up on, her hair brushed, if not actually styled. She wears designer clothing, jeans and cute tops, sometimes skirts, unless she's wearing her cheerleading uniform.
|| PERSONALITY TRAITS ||*A team player
*loyal
*extroverted
*Charismatic
*Worries about what people think
*Loves popularity
|| PERSONALITY ||Taylor does truly love to be the center of attention, living for the spotlight. It is her one true goal of high school to become the captain of the cheerleading squad. She hopes to have that perfect high school fantasy, the uniform, the jock boyfriend, tons of friends. Tay is far from mean, but she isn't above peer pressure and doing what she needs in order to fit in. She tries to get along with everybody, but she won't exactly go out of her way to talk to somebody who isn't in her click or who might tarnish her reputation. She may not be the deepest girl, but she's extremely motivated and driven to succeed. School has never been her main focus, but she manages okay, keeping a B average, with the occasional C. She's never actually failed a class, a fact that she is decently proud of. Her parents are very doting upon her, and she's very rarely, if ever left wanting anything. This has attributed to her 'I can achieve anything' belief that she parades with now, as well as her confidence. She is extremely organized, keeping a goal list pinned up in her locker, though she doesn't talk about it very often, it helps keep her focused on completing her goals.

|| FAMILY MEMBERS ||Rodney B. Reid - Father:
Rodney owns several of the businesses within the town. He strives on success and is happy to provide the town with a good majority of it's much needed and wanted supplies, as well as several of it's members with needed jobs. He is a hard working man, in love with his work more than just about anything. The only thing that he may possibly love more is his only daughter, but it's hard to say for sure. He's often not home, but he makes up for it with a large allowance and plenty of confidence building classes. He is determined to see his daughter succeed in life.
Amelia Tanner Reid - Mother:
Amelia is a hobbyist, occasionally picking up a few odd jobs here and there, but for the thrill and fun of doing said job instead of the money. She likes to find things that interest her and keep her attention for long periods of time. She spends a good portion of her time shopping, either online or in the store. She also tends to be much more interested in her daughter's life than her own at times. It has been rumored that Amelia lives vicariously through Taylor, and will encourage her daughter to do things that she, herself, can't do.
Joseph Reid - Brother:
Joey is a freshman in college and is colored as one of two perfect children. Though of course, not all as it appears on the outside. The family cares very much about their reputation and often worry that Joey might be the one to destroy that reputation. He very rarely visits home, enjoying his time away from the uptight, stuffy house, only keeping contact with his younger sister. Since he's been gone, he tries to remind her that there is more to life that making their parents happy. Joey is gay (though his family doesn't know it) and he has no intentions of letting them know anytime soon.
|| HOUSE DESCRIPTION ||The Reid family like putting forth a very specific persona to those looking at them, coming across as close to the perfect small town family as they possibly can. This is apparent in their house structure. The house seems modest for the amount of wealth the family is known to have. A large two story house with several rooms, all of which are used for a different purpose. The yards are spectacularly kept by the grounds people with plenty of flowers, grass and trees. The outside is made of stonework with several grand windows seen throughout. There is a swimming pool and courtyard in the back with another lavish garden.
|| CAR DESCRIPTION ||Likely a 16th birthday present
|| BIOGRAPHY ||Taylor grew up in a home surrounded by ambition, making that her greatest focus in life. It was unacceptable to be anything less than perfect when the entire town looked at you, waiting for you to mess up. This was a life lesson bestowed to her at a very young age. Always be prepared to put your best foot forward, because you never knew who could be watching. This is exactly what she's done most of her life, striving to be the absolute best she could be. She refused to do anything that she couldn't succeed with near perfect accuracy in. One true joy that she found in life was dancing, after her mother enrolled herself in dance classes, bringing Taylor along, it wasn't long before the little girl was begging to take them as well. A private dance instructor was hired immediately and Tay thrived under the structured routine required for the skill. She found her truest passion in the ability to dance and continued to take classes, both private and eventually public.
As she grew older she discovered that she also had a particular interest in working out, another structured routine that gave her an outlet for the constant perfect image that she was expected to put forward. In middle school, she discovered the perfect mixture of the two in cheer leading. She still takes additional dance classes, but she has focused herself on her cheer and her high school career. She tries to make her parents proud, often doing everything they ask of her. She knows that she often gets everything that she wants in exchange. She loves her brother very much, though he doesn't seem quite as proud of their family as she does. She's too young to know all the deep seeded secrets of her family, falling for the image set forth just as easily as the rest of the world.
(I decided to go ahead and put her together... I hope she's okay?)
