*HOLLAND DINA STRATFORD,

“If I could turn the page
In time then I'd rearrange just a day or two
Close my, close my, close my eyes

But I couldn't find a way
So I'll settle for one day to believe in you
Tell me, tell me, tell me lies…” ~ Fleetwood Mac

*let them see who you are,
» HAIR: hair is a brunette color, and it is long and wavy, that goes just a bit to the tip of her ribcage.
» EYES: they look serious, and demanding, but they are a fair brown color, but can show some despondence in them, from time to time.
» HEIGHT/WEIGHT: she’s about 5’5”, and weighs no more than 100 lbs.
» DISTINGUISHING FEATURES: she’s got a dimple-chin here.
» STYLE: she likes to wear mostly luxury clothing, consisting of high heels, dressy shirts, snazzy jeans, and excessive amount of jewelry, although rare at times, but most of the time, she’d rather just slip on some white tank top, a pure cotton white blouse, nice belt, and dark blue jeans, with black heels.

» OVERALL: Whenever people see her, in the morning for first class in Belmont Academy, they can see that something, went on with Holland, the night before. But she usually shifts all thoughts aside, and does her best to focus on her academics here, rather than bring up nerve to talk about ‘anything’ in particular, so can a bit closed-minded here as well. Though in a way, her mind is clouded with questions, making it hard to focus on her school, but could resists tossing thoughts out, and can get leery when people think she’s been a ‘bad girl’ lately. Holland usually, carries around this little look on her face, which is popularly known to be the ‘puppy dog look’, as her dimple-chin does look like a dog’s chin here, and she’s quite small here, and can be pint considered to most of her immediate friends, and is quite slim. She can get all dressy for great occasions, but mostly just wears her blouses and jeans a whole lot, but rarely puts on a skirt, that’s an inch above her knee caps here.

Though, when she does play in soccer, people would see her kick the ball hard, and get a firm goal in the net, and see what a true young champion she could be here. People cheer for her, and praise her, over and over again, but when Holland pulls her leg back, after getting a goal, usually she wishes the ball, was ‘something else’ there.

» OVERALL PERSONALITY: Holland can be quite egotistical here, and often bad-mouths people down, and could poke out threats as in to slap their faces, and whatnot. But Holland, is deep down, in her confused and impaired heart, a bright young teen, just trying to survive the last stretch of an abundant education, a certain someone, more blood-related, has helped her build up. She though, does get sporadic mood changes, from being a sweet young, energetic, and spontaneous one, right to being hard, coy, and very arrogant, and starts to insult people, and then bring out her usual trend of threats, apposing to almost physical abuse.

But the reasons as to why she wants to hurt others out there, was because she’s been suffering herself, and feels that others, need to suffer as well. Holland doesn’t really appreciate her constant change in moods here, but knows the sole reasons as to why she gets them. Ever since her life spiraled down, completely, by a certain relative here, Holland has always forced herself to keep in a secret, that has been tearing her apart on the inside here, and just wouldn’t let the secret resurface here. She always is demanding herself to put up a brave front to everyone she comes face to face with here. But, when her moods permit her, she can jump back being into that charming little girl, who’s spontaneous and kind, with a mixture of flirtatious attitudes here.

» HISTORY: Holland Dina Stratford, was born formerly inside of Santa Monica, California, to two loving and welcoming arms of her mother, Danielle Stratford, *who’s own nickname was chosen for her daughter’s middle name*, and her father, Jensen Stratford. These two were happy to have been able to have created their only child here, and were surprised they’d actually end up having a daughter, Holland. Danielle was on her maternity leave from her cardiovascular doctor duties in California, and had been called, about after Holland was eight years old, to work in New York City, as a doctor there, while her husband, Jensen had already been assigned to be a pilot for the John F. Kennedy International Airport. So, before this move from the one coast straight to the other, Jensen has helped his daughter build up a wonderful education in one of the most finest elementary schools in California. Danielle was just busy with her packing, and after seeing so much true and affectionate love between her husband and her daughter, and gathering up all the money these two married couple could obtain, they finally flew out to Manhattan, and had moved into a rather luxurious house here. The best house, the three family members’ just loved enjoying board game times, television times, and the occasional ‘help around the house’ times.

But it wasn’t long after Holland had turned eight years old, just two months after this birthday, Danielle was asked to go towards Ontario, for some doctor conference there, and had suddenly, ended up in a bad car accident, on the northern highways, and ended up going to the hospital, to be treated for her wounds, but had brain matter leak out and was considered ‘brain dead’ afterwards, causing a huge tragedy for Jensen and Holland here. It was unfortunate, as Danielle had an amazing conference to go to, and her life was cost, in some heavy traffic on the highways, causing a collision course here. Jensen was mortified of his wife’s death, and did all he could to arrange a rather private funeral for Danielle here, as Holland was brokenhearted, deeply here, as she’s had grief from this point onwards. Even as of this day, this tragic death undoubtedly affects her. And since then, Jensen has vowed to take care of his daughter, and had greatly contributed her education with fine home learning courses here. It was a day after Holland had turn fourteen years old, was when Jensen had told her “how much he’d love her, forever, and ever.”, and Holland just smiled up at her father. Jensen continued to multitask being a pilot at the airport, and managing to fit in time to be with his daughter, and would just continually spoil her. It was probably due to his guilt over his wife’s sudden death on the highway here, but it was to put positivity in Holland’s life here, regardless. Jensen, everyday, would tell his daughter, how much he loves her. Holland was convinced of this love, and greatly abided her life with it, as it seemed so abundant here. Much like her education as well.

Jensen continued to fly from airport to airport all around the country of the USA, and then his daughter started to look, rather gorgeous for being fifteen years old right now. But apparently, too gorgeous. But he sifted the thoughts aside, and then helped Holland get really academic in Belmont Academy, and was just so proud of his young prestigious daughter, who ended up taking in photography, as a side hobby here. Holland was gaining a lot of money from going around the school, taking portraiture photos, and individual, and then group photos of those around her. And then, she was asked to enroll in some famous photography agency, admiring her keen skills behind the cameras here. So she was pretty young for this, but her father helped her travel around the world, with his pilot duties, and discounts, and Holland just got rich by the quantity of high quality photos here. The luxury of wealth was all around her, and she ended up buying herself the most expensive clothing, jewelry, and accessories a whole lot from that point onwards. And she was developing into a really beautiful young woman here. Again, her father was proud of her, and told her how much she loves her, and that her newfound body size, was ‘damn fine’, and such on.

Apparently, this must have been a caution sign to Holland, as she couldn’t quite fully acknowledge Jensen’s reasoning behind that term regarding her body. So she shrugged it off, continued to make boatloads of money, and some popularity, and then she had hit her sweet sixteenth birthday here, where her father, yet again, told her how a father’s love for his daughter, never stops. He had gathered though, these really atrocious thoughts in his mind about his daughter, but wanted to wait a bit, till she could take the time being adjusted to being sixteen years old here. But then, that’s when disaster strikes, as Holland was about to leave for a date with a friend from school, as her father approached her, with the most unpleasant bewildering moves, and then had abused her, sexually, saying to her that ‘a body like hers does need to be inspected’ by her own father. Holland just couldn’t get her abusive father off of her, as he was merely a whole foot taller than her, and extremely well worked out for his bodily structure, and she stood no chance against him, other than to submit herself, and unwillingly lose her virginity to her father here. After he was done, raping his daughter, Jensen had always put into her mind, in a vocal matter, how much he’ll always love her, and that this is how fathers shows their loves towards their daughters as they get older.

Holland just couldn’t believe her own father would do this to her, and then force in tough commands to keep it between father and daughter here, as it traumatized her, to the core of her now emotionally wounded heart here. And it caused her to hide so much, for the remainder of her sophomore year here, and try her best not to let the true thoughts of her suffering under the sexually abusive hands of her father, tie into anything with her life, her friends’ lives, and her career at the school, which to Holland would have been jeopardized. And whenever Holland tries to enjoy a good time after school, and not even breaching a curfew time, her father would always turn up, and have to lightly drag her away from her friends, and would always plant his hand down her back, and tight on her waist, causing her friends to be stirred up in high confusions here.

And knowing that her father was free, and was able to do anything without getting caught here, just drove Holland totally nuts here. But, even at nights, more likely on school nights, after she’s done her overwhelming homework, Jensen would always give her a bedtime snack, which was always, raping her before bed. And then telling her, that he loves her, and all of that, sending his poorly traumatized daughter to bed with the worst nightmares afterwards. Then Holland would wake up, have to shower the dirty feelings off, and then have to go to Belmont Academy afterwards, just horridly putting on what people call it, the ‘puppy dog look’. She just looks a lot like a lost puppy, who has massive confusion inside of her, and just can’t put their fingers down as to what has been making her so sad.

But, Holland has had enough of her father’s abusive behaviors towards her, as she was able to report him, discreetly, after another night of assault, and had the New York Precinct arrest him, for his crimes of rape and occasional domestic abuse upon his daughter, and sent him to prison for a good long time here. But this was dealt rather privately, as Holland didn’t want others to gain knowledge of this, and had all the staff at Belmont Academy to not foretell the other students, nor the staff that do not know about this unfortunate situation between father and daughter, and very little staff knew, but would always vow not to broadcast it around the school campus, and it’s entirety of grounds. Still, the thought of her submitting and reluctantly giving her virginity away to her own father, still upsets Holland here, as he’s basically been telling her all these ‘sweet little lies’, and was now, since the first sexual crime, not convinced of his love anymore, and has to endure the rest of her life, being without a parent, and having to lodge with some close friends around her, who’s parents have taken legal guardianship and custody charges of.

Though, to breath a word of this to anyone, is still something Holland cannot accept herself to do…

» RP SAMPLE:

It must have been one of those days, that Holly was just finishing up her afternoon school courses, and she just didn’t think of truly going home here. In a way, if she had gone home, straight home after school, she knew she’d have to come interfaced with her father, Jensen. So she had managed to finish her literature class, and was done her period for school. She had slipped outside Nottingham Prep, and a group of teenaged girls came up to her. One of them had given her such a sweet, but sarcastic smile. “Hey Holland!” the one girl friend shouted out. Holly stalled in place, and she had turned around and gazed at her awesome group of friends. She smiled at the girl, “Hey, Claire, Jordan, and Alice! What’s up my bitches?” Jordan had grinned, and asked, “You want to the Chick N’ Ribs restaurant tomorrow, after school?” Alice had added in, “And pig out on the best ribs there as well?” Holly grinned at this generous idea for dinner plans for the next day. She had nodded her head, and the girls all grinned their best ones at her. “Sure I can! Who can pass up ribs on a Thursday night, you guys..?” The girls just smiled and shook their heads. Claire had added in, “Well then, we’ll grab my wheels and go there tomorrow. For now, I have to get home and ugh, unload the dishwasher, and wipe the stupid livingroom floor too…”

Holly just laughed out loud at this. “You make it seem like that’s a crime, darling…” Claire stared her down, and narrowed her eyebrows and centered all of her glare towards Holly. “Hey, come on. It’s not a crime! It gives me cash, so I’m all good…” Then Jordan had, in Claire’s defense, “At least YOU don’t have to do TOO much to earn big bucks…” Holly just smirked at Jordan. “Awe, you see? That’s what makes me radiantly intelligent… I don’t need to do shiz for this… I seriously feel sympathetic to ya all…” Alice sighed, but sarcastically retorted, “Oh yeah, and sympathy makes us smarter and less lazier here…” Holly glared at Alice. “Yeah sure, uh huh…” hears her watch beep. She catches this, and announces, “But I do have to go home, I have to complete this literature project, before din din’s for me too. Catch you gorgeouses later!”

Then Holly had to regrettably part from her group of friends, and proceeded back towards her luxurious house, and was hesitant to enter the house. But she did have to force herself to step inside, and she lightly put her backpack on the cedar kitchen dinner table, and slipped off her black t-shirt off, to reveal her lacy blue bra, and made it towards her bedroom, safe and sound. She had gone over to her little music apartment in her room, which was more like a big stereo that you could squeeze three discs into, a subwoofer, a nice microphone, and hooked up all the rest of the chords. Holly had looked down to her thigh-length jean skirt, and her silver flip-flops. Then she turned the volume up real high after putting in a disc, and took the microphone gently, and thought of a song, strictly in karaoke, and put “Unfaithful” from “Rihanna” inside her stereo, and took the microphone again. In a way this song could relate to the angst in her life, that her father has contributed to her…
