Name:
Rihannon 'Ria' Jezzebelle Ray Thorpe
Age & Grade:
Junior // 17 // April 15th // Aries
Gender:
Female.
Sexuality:
Heavily Bi-curious.
Label:
Southern Belle
Occupation:
Ria? Work? Never. Both of the Thorpe siblings receive a $5,000 monthly allowance from their father. The money is deposited into their bank accounts on the first of every month.
Appearance Details
- Hair: Blonde | Mid Back length | Usually styled to be left down, or tossed into a ponytail. Ria really enjoys her hair just doing it's own thing, so that's how she leaves it most of the time.
- Eyes: Cornflower Blue.
- Height: Five feet, two inches.
- Body Type: Slim Hourglass.
- Clothing Style: Uniform || Ria doesn't have a preference when it comes to the stockings vs. knee high socks debate. She wears both, and it depends on her mood. She thinks the ties are kinda cute, and will happily wear them. Her skirts are hemmed way above what most people would think are acceptable - but just low enough to keep her out of trouble.
Casual || Casually Fancy | Name brand clothing, dresses, t-shirts, jeans, skirts, dresses, heels, sneakers, boots, etc. Everything she owns is name brand. She'd never dare by clothes second hand or from Walmart. - Makeup Wise: Nude colors, or light pinks for eye-shadows and lip wear. Mascara and eyeliner is an everyday thing. The occasional false lash can be found here or there.
- Scars, Tattoos and/or Piercings:
Personality
Ria is known as the southern belle that everyone has come to know and love. Upon meeting her, you can tell that Ria is bubbly and energetic. She's the outgoing type, and will happily be friends with just about anyone. One of the next things that you'll notice about the young woman is that her facial expressions often give away her emotions. Most people who meet Ria for a few brief moments find her to be a very warm presence.
While warm and inviting, Ria is also sharp tongued, passive aggressive, and just as judgmental as any southern grandmother. A sucker for gossip, Ria has been caught eavesdropping on more than her fair share of conversations. (Thank goodness she's gotten better at sneaking around over the years). But despite her faults, make no mistake that Ria is a loyal friend - and when she wants, the young woman can have very good intentions. Charismatic and nearly always up to no good, Ria seems to have a specialty when it comes to getting information from people.

History
What do you get when you cross a good southern woman and a man with strong political ambitions?
A surprisingly good love story.
Lillian Isabelle James had started her acting career in her early childhood, and quickly won the hearts of America. Deciding to take a break from the hustle and bustle that was Hollywood, Lilly (as she was called) decided to go to college in New York. It was here she would meet Alexander Thorpe - a dashing young man who was the heir to a multi billion dollar oil and gas company, known as Thorpe Industries. He would also go on to be a Senator for the State of California.
Shortly after graduating college, the Lilly and Alex moved back to Georgia, and began to start a life for themselves there. Lillian found out she was pregnant shortly after her acting career started back up, and her husbands political career was taking off. The announcement didn't come at the best time, but was a welcomed one, nonetheless. Their first born child would be their son Lucas, and he was quickly followed by his sister, Ria, nearly a year and a half later.
Life for the Thorpe siblings was easy, aside from the scandals that people tried to throw at their parents careers. While Alex spent most of his time in the home state of California focusing on his political career, Lilly and the kids moved back to Georgia where Lilly grew up. The southern belle wanted to try and give her children as much of a normal life as possible - but when your mother is an actress, your father a senator, and your grandparents owning one of the largest equestrian centers in the country - things get complicated.
The papers tried to paint Lilly and Alex's marriage as a sham. How could two people be in love and live on two different sides of the country? The answer could be found in the hundreds of love letters that they wrote to each other - they had found their soulmate. Thousands were spent on plane tickets as they visited each other between campaign rallies and between scene shooting schedules.
Both of Ria's parents wanted what was best for their children, sending them to private schools their whole lives. Whatever they wanted, their parents gave them. For Ria, most of those things were ponies, jewelry, and the prettiest dresses a girl could ever ask for. While their mother wanted them to have a simple life, she wasn't going to let them be underachievers, either. Lilly wanted to set her children up for success.
And so it began.
Ria was thrown into piano lessons at age four. Ballet lessons at age five, though she pitched an absolute fit until her mother finally gave up with Ria was six. Lilly tried to get her daughter into a wide range of hobbies, but the only thing that ever came to Ria naturally was horseback riding. From there, she learned to barrel race, and how to even jump horses. Growing up, Ria participated in high level competitions and quite a handful of local rodeo shows. While her mother demanded excellence in Ria's competitions, she also refused to let her daughter slack off in her studies. Anything lower than a B+ and you were punished. For Ria, that meant no technology and no competitions. Horse riding was - and is - everything to Ria, so she was sure to keep her grades up.
The picture perfect family was ruined when Ria was 12, and her brother was 13. Their father had finally landed himself a spot in the Senate, and the TV show that their mother stared in had just been renewed for a third season. Things were amazing for the Thorpe clan until Lilly was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. Alexander decided that it was best for his family to move to California in order to keep up with his political campaign, and for the better doctors for Lilly.
By the time that Ria was 13, and Lucas was 14, their mother passed away. Ria was a freshman at the time, and Lucas a sophomore. Their grades suffered, going from straight A's to mostly C's. Their mother was no longer around to keep them in line, and their father was to heart broken to care. Besides, C's were still plenty acceptable. The Thorpe siblings were enrolled at one of the best schools, and their father finally bought a house in DC, where he now spends most of his time.
Upon enrolling at Edgebastoon, Ria did her best to find where she fit in. Ria loved to soak up all the gossip around the school, and luckily the school paper had an opening for a writer for the advice column. Reyna would slip in gossip, cleverly disguised as help columns while also writing the crosswords and word searches. She continued to do it her sophomore year as well, and most likely will her Junior year as well.
