At First Glance║ Personality ║ The Positive:• Caring and accepting of people of all sorts.
• Determined
• Can stand up for herself and others with ease.
The Negative:• Stubborn
• Has trouble admitting when she's wrong
• Short-tempered
What You See:Josie's attitude is as bold as her hair. She is feisty, hardworking and headstrong. She can be quite sarcastic at times. She has trouble staying completely still for much time at all even if she has to twirl a pen or such to keep her hands busy. She is very open to who she is and not afraid to be so. She often has a smile plastered on her face and is funloving. She may come across as quite girly as well.
What I Know:People who know her not even very well but well enough knows that, despite a few girly interests such as make-up and clothing/fashion design, Josie isn't a very girly person. She often leans toward the company of guys over girls (although she does have close girl friends too). She's quite hands-on and has nothing wrong with getting her hands dirty, in fact she loves mud fights with her friends. She doesn't find it easy to trust people quickly but once you have her trust she's one of the most loyal friends you could have.
She's very aware of the cruelty of the world and is set on making a difference in the world, so far she's done so through small acts of kindness and charity work but wants to do something that makes a big difference. She's daydreamer and is often lost in her thoughts. She's very much a goofball and loves hugs. What she lacks in size she makes up for in enthusiasm.

The truth is, no matter what your lifestyle or occupation, nothing can really stop you when you're allowing yourself to be exactly who you want to be." - Hayley Williams
Off the Record║ My Dreams ║Josie isn't 100% sure what her future holds for her or where she wants to push herself after she finishes at Mortimer and that scares her. She want to persue her fashion, that she knows, she wants her style to spark inspiration and bring out the uniqueness in amateur designers and people alike, however, she has no idea how she's going to do that whether through selling her clothing or using them for movies or another option, that's the part that scares her.
║ Fears ║• Snakes
• Becoming someone she's not for the sake of others.
• Things changing for the worse for people she cares for
• being completely clueless
║ Likes ║•Music, particularly of 'harder' genres or 'older' styles
•Rainforests
• Camping
• Warm chocolate chip cookies fresh from the oven
• Gusty days
• Puppies
• Horror movies
• Linkin Park
║ Dislikes ║•Alcohol, she will have a glass of wine or 2 at a formal event but she doesn't like the taste of it
• People who can't look after themselves
• Very spicy foods, she fine with mildly spiced food though
• Wet socks
• Airheads
• Sleeping in
• Headlice, not out of disgust, just if you have them they are a pain to get rid of
║ Brief History ║José was born to an American woman and her Swesish husband in Gothenburg, Sweden. Where her father worked in the metalwork industry while her mother was a stay-at-home mum. José has a sister 2 years older than her, Courtney, a twin sister, Rachael, a brother 3 years younger, Peter, than her and a sister 5 years younger than her, Alison. Nothing overly impressive came from José's life at this point. From a young age she was quite a tomboy and seemed to prefer the company of guys
When José was 11 her mother became ill. Her parent didn't tell their children what their mother had nor how severe it was at the time, they felt their children were too young then and chose it better to not bring it up. The family quickly moved to their parent's hometown in Connecticut, America for their mother's treatment. It took 3 years but, eventually, her mother regained to full health. It was years later José found out it was breast cancer her mother had.
As José got older she got into makeup while keeping quite a tomboy personality and found herself quite good at it. Her grade remained quite average so she decided to drop out at the end of grade 10 and do an apprenticeship in makeup and beauty. She excelled in her apprenticeship and completed it within 2 years. She was chatting with a client on one of her 'experience' days who mentioned the school.
It was a couple of months later thr young adult look to further her career and remembered the encounter and applied for the school for a fashion major
