YOU;;
OOC name; Kimi
CHARACTER;;
Full Name; Brooke Marquez
Age; 21
APPEARANCE;;
Build; Tall and thin she looks domineering and powerful when in fact...she's not. At 5 10, Brooke towers over many other girls and hasn't always loved it. She isn't completely flat chested, but hasn't got the biggest chest either, which she doesn't really care about as she likes the athletic look of her body more than she would if she looked as though she had balloons down her shirt.
Her belly and legs are well toned and hard due to sport and running whenever she can, but when she wheres baggy clothes she can give off the impression of being quite scrawny looking due to her small waist and hips. She has long limbs and fingers which causes her to look quite skeletal in the dark or dim lit areas..
Hair; Long, dark and wavy. Is usually worn loose or the front is pulled back into a hair clip. It reaches down to just above her waist, framing her face nicely and complements the colour of her skin well. It's thick and shiny, giving it a "just rolled out of bed" look.
Eyes;Deep dark brown, which stand out from her face as they are big and round. They usually have sark circles or bags under them due to late nights and/or early mornings. The makeup she wears on them are simple: She wears black mascara and eyeliiner to match her hair and ocasionally grey eyeshadow to "frame" them more. Most people say that eyes are the window to the soul and for Brooke, this is true. No matter what she is feeling and how much she tries to hide it, her eyes always give it away due to there expressive nature.
Nose; Fits into her face perfectly. She neither hates or loves it. She just thinks it's her nose. When she has a cold, the colour of it changes from her usual brown to a more reddy colour. In the middle of her face, and rounded at the end, it doesn't stick out to much, however it is wide, but it still seems to suit her face well.
Lips; Full and pouty, they are one of her favourite features. They can usually be seen stretched into a bbeautiful freindly smile at the bottom of her face, and somehow manage to make her whole face light up. They
Tattoos; None
Scars; None
Flaws; Is opinionated and headstrong. Usually her arguements are down to her just saying what she thinks. If she sees something she doesn't agree with. She is also very stubborn and will very rarely back down from a fight unless she knows for certain she is wrong!. She is also very cautious towards people she doesn't know. She can sometimes seem aloof, when really she is just trying to decide whether the person is trustworthy or not.
Piercings; None
PERSONALITY;;
Personality; Friendly to everyone at first but previous relationships with boyfriends and family has taught her that not everyone deserves second chances. Due to this it takes a while for people to earn her trust, and when they break it, it will take them practically forever to get it back. She is usually cheerful and enthusiastic as she believes in living for the moment, not dwelling on the past or the future. She is a fighter, and will fight for anything she believes in, no matter how much trouble it could get her into. She is also not one to hide what they think. She will tell someone what she thinks of them to thheir face rather than just bitch about them behind their back. She is passionate about things she believes in and will be loyal to a friend no matter what it gets her into....if she has to, for someone she cares about, she would walk into hell itself.
Likes;Chocolate, flirting, boys and partying with her friends. Basically doing anything which she can have fun with is a like of hers. like clubs and drinking, as long as it doesn't become a pronblem.
Dislikes; Arrogance and lies. She wastes no time in talking people who have those characteristics down. Drugs are a big No for her! Anyone who takes drugs get little or no sympathy from her. She believes that everyone has the choice! she hates snobs who think they are better than everyone else!
PAST;;
Family;Mother - Maria Father - doesn't remember/know Brother - Jason
History; When she was three, her father left the family home so the only male influence in her life was that of her brother, who she has and will always look up to. After the departure of dad her mother spialled into depression and began looking for answers at the bottom of the bottle. When Brooke was going up, she would ask her brother, jason, who all the men that were routinely brought home and into the mothers bedroom were. He would simply reply, "Thats Uncle whoever. Don't you remember?" And ould quickly Change the subject. As she grew up, she began to realise what was really going on and when one of those "Uncles" got her mother hooked on heroin, she vowed that she would never let a man do those things to her.
Growing up in a rough neighbourhood wasn't the easist thing, but luckily Brooke was always well protected by Jason. Whether she wasnted it or not. He supported her when she decided to drop out of school and concentrate on music when no-body else would. She didn't always have many friends, due to her Mom's track record but that never detered her upbeat disposition.
When She left school she got a job waitressing to pay for an apartment of her own. She worked during the day and layed her guitar at noght. And that was all she needed to keep her happy.
Her love life has been fairly horrible. Most of her boyfriends were only after one thing and she was quickly dumped after they got it. Others where guys from her neighbourhood who thought they could take advantage of her. Now she has become guarded and has learnt how to get herself out of those situations. She makes men prove they are not just after one thing, unless it's just harmless flirting, in which case, it never leads anywhere near the bedroom!

Sample Post;
Brooke woke up with a start, sitting up in her bed. She fragged a had up to her head to comb her long fingers through her hair while she tried to remember the dream she had been having. All she got were flashes of when she was a kid, watching her Mom become more and more hostile towards her. And her brother saying "Everything is ok". Giving up on whatever it was that made her wake up, she swivelled around on her bed and stepped out of it slowly, as not to get a head rush. Walking across her bedroom she looked at the few photographs se had on her dresser. A few of her friend Jenna from her od workplace and one of her ad her brother which was taken last year. The latter always made her smile. He was the only one who had ever been there for her when she was younger. She walked into the bathroom and turned on the shower. She turned around and caught sight of herself in the mirror. She noticed red marks at the base of her neck where she must of scratched herself during the night. "Some dream" she said to her self as she lightly touched the marks. They were sore and looked angry. She reached up to the cupboard above the sink and took out a bottle of antiseptic and some cotton wool and began to apply them to the wounds, hissing slighlty when the medicine touched the raw skin as it felt like it was burning. She put the bottle down on the edge of the sink and pulled of her tank top which she wore to bed and threw it on the ground below her. She pulled down her pants and stepped out of them as she made her way to the shower. She placed her hand inside first to see if it was the right temperature "Perfect" She thought as she slowly stepped in and closed the door behind her.
She stepped under the warm water, and for a few moments she didn't move, enjoying the feling of the hot water on her sore skin. Seeing the steam rise from it. She finally gathered enough energy to turn around andwet her hair through. She picked up her shampoo and squerzed some into her hand. She reached up into her hair and began to massage it into a lather. She then hummed to herself as she again, stepped under the water to rinse the soap out, taking care not to get it in her eyes. Once she had finished, she grabbed a towel and wrapped it around her wet torso and stepped back outside.
