*EMILY ANN ARMSTRONG,



“We walked along a crowded street
you took my hand and danced with me in the shade
and when you left you kissed my lips
you told me you would never ever forget these images”

» ORIENTATION: Straight
» CANON OR ORIGINAL: Original
» GROUP/GRADE: Senior

*let them see who you are,
» HAIR: Her chocolate locks hinted towards the lightest shades of honey that naturally staggered themselves throughout her hair and when she got them cut, the stylist promised Emily that her side-swept bangs emphasized her blue eyes.
» EYES: Her eyes were known to pierce you with their overwhelming cerulean glow, hinted with just the slightest shades of jade.
» HEIGHT/WEIGHT: Standing at 5’5 and 137 pounds, Emily was fairly average for a girl. She was built slim but had distinct muscle definition on her body.
» DISTINGUISHING FEATURES: Soft dimples and a tattoo of a butterfly on the back of her neck.
» STYLE: Emily would never be caught dead wearing a jersey or sweat pants or even sneakers in public. She enjoyed jeans on occasion but her legs were long and skirts just seemed to show them off better.
» OVERALL: Soft. That was how one would describe the features of this young beauty. With high cheekbones and a full set of lip, Emily’s Portuguese heritage was visible. Her eyes were known to pierce you with their overwhelming cerulean glow, hinted with just the slightest shades of jade. There were no distinct freckles or beauty marks on her face but the heart-shaped canvas was definitely a sight to see. Emily loved to smile and after three painfully embarrassing years of braces, she took much pride in her smile. Soft indents could be noticed at the base of her cheekbones and being aware of the general impact of dimples, Emily used hers to her advantage.

Standing at 5’5 and 137 pounds, Emily was fairly average for a girl. She was built slim but had distinct muscle definition on her body. With a full chest and wide hips, Emily took pride in her hourglass figure and would do just about anything to keep that and her six pack perfectly in shape. Emily’s hair was long and thick. Naturally, her hair was straight with only slight waves but Emily didn’t mind taking the time every morning to enhance her curls with a hot iron rod. Her chocolate locks hinted towards the lightest shades of honey that naturally staggered themselves throughout her hair and when she got them cut, the stylist promised Emily that her side-swept bangs emphasized her blue eyes.

Contrary to the stereotypes of most athletes, Emily would never be caught dead wearing a jersey or sweat pants or even sneakers in public. With a body as perfectly shaped as hers, Emily resorted to clothing that emphasized those curves. She enjoyed jeans on occasion but her legs were long and skirts just seemed to show them off better. Emily wasn’t concerned as much about being comfortable as the looks she got from passerby’s. Her feet were generally adorned with a pair of Jimmy Choo’s that she bought with her father’s money and her jewelry was lined with more than enough diamonds. Emily not only wanted to look stunning, but with the way that God created her and all the beauty he put in to making her, Emily felt obligated to look as amazing as she possibly could

» OVERALL PERSONALITY: Apart from those who were close to her, Emily was twofaced. She could lie better than most people and could easily convince you that what she said was the truth. Yes, she was able to be honest with people who earned her trust, but Emily found that those people were few and far between. Emily had high standards for others and for the most part was let down by the people around her. Emily had always thought of herself as a very strong person emotionally and when it came to fearing others reactions to what she said, Emily just didn’t care. In Emily’s opinion, people based their impressions of you off of your looks rather than your personality and that your personality only came into play once you already had them hooked. With her ability to manipulate and lie and wiggle out of any sticky situation, she had no need to worry about first impressions. She was a beautiful girl and once she had you hooked on that, her lies would easily draw you the rest of the way in. This was a trait that she learned from watching her father screw other over time and time again.

Emily liked causing drama. Anything that she could do or say to make her the center of attention was a thought that was consistently on her mind. Emily didn’t necessarily enjoy causing drama to watch other people fail as much as to feel herself succeed. Emily was very selfish about nearly everything, which was strange considering how kind and giving her brother was. Luke was always the kid in the background while Emily took the main stage. She always felt the need to be number one in every situation and she wanted to be in control. Control was likely the most complex aspect of this girl’s personality. She needed to have control of all situations in order to feel in control of her own life. Lying to others and being fake around others was a way for her to gain control over them and this, again, was a trait she picked up from watching her father. See, Emily was very bright. She could pick out a liar before they even opened their mouth and she was an incredible judge of character. Having a father who’s entire career was abased off of convincing others to choose his company, Emily picked up on many ways to manipulate others.

As far as relationships came, sex was an escape route for Emily. She used it as a form to release the emotions that she held bottled up and she craved the calmness of its aftermath. Emily was always safe when it came to sex and had never suffered bad encounters. To Emily, sex was like a pain reliever from the natural sting of everyday life, not that her life was painful by any means. Relationships didn’t really last too long with Emily because of her addiction to this but she was, at least for the most part, discrete about her rendezvous. Along with this sexual drive came an uncanny desire to flirt with everyone and the abrasiveness to act on her desires, leading her to both positive and negative responses. Being the only daughter of a corporate businessman, Emily had drive. When she set her mind to something, she accomplished it no matter what got in her way. This trait was most visible when it came to finding adequate members of the opposite sex.

When it came to things that Emily liked, she was quite simple. She liked money and having money. She liked shopping and having something different to wear every day. She enjoyed keeping her body fit so that boys would like her. Emily liked having sex and teasing boys with sex. She liked coffee and driving expensive cars but more than just about anything, Emily liked to feel like she was better than most everyone else- mostly because she was. Yes, Emily could be a good friend to those who won her respect, but it was hard to impress someone who was better, prettier, and wealthier than you were.

» HISTORY: Born on November 19, 1992 as the female twin to Lucas and the only daughter of Amelia and William Armstrong, Emily had always been a daddy’s girl. Since the day she was born, her father had been her idol. In her younger years, Emily was soft-spoken and kind-hearted. She rarely thought about bettering her life and was always eager to help out others around her. Her mother always encouraged this type of outlook on life but once Emily realized that her daddy would let her do anything, she stopped trying to help others and began to focus on what made her happy. Money.

Emily lived a very privileged life. She was always close with both her mother and her father and her brother Luke. Mother always motivated Emily to do better in life and be the best person she could be while daddy always told her how perfect she was and that she should just stay the same. Emily always had money at her disposal and could buy anything that she wanted.

Before father was arrested, Emily was almost completely convinced that he was the greatest man ever alive, therefore her standards for boyfriends was significantly high. Emily always brought men home to meet daddy before she would date them. If daddy didn’t approve than they obviously just weren’t good enough for her and she would be wasting her time on them.

Once her father got sent to prison, Emily, Luke and their mother Amelia moved to England to live with her father’s parents. Emily was excited about the move because that would take her as far away from her father as possible. Finding out that he had been lying and stealing almost her entire life, Emily had lost almost all of her respect for him. This loss, in turn, softened Emily a little. Realizing that her father was not the most fantastic man on earth, Emily was able to look at people a little differently. While in England, she had made her first real friend, Lucinda. Lucy was kind and soft spoken and helped Emily heal a little from the hurt caused form years of lies from her father. Lucy was by far the hardest thing for Emily to leave in England.

Moving back to the states, Emily was excited to see the people that she had known before but was even more excited to meet people while she was still blinded by the softness of forgiveness and understanding. There was no guarantee that Emily would be able to completely change the way she treated people, but at least with her father in prison and her relationship with Luke and her mother strong, she was trying not to be so mean, and coming from her, that was a lot.

» RP SAMPLE:

Food was the last thing on Sophie’s mind. Over the course of the last two weeks, she had consumed maybe one full meal’s worth of food. Every time she tried to eat, she was overwhelmed with the emotion of worthlessness and the smell instantly made her stomach turn. When she had offered to grab a bite with Eli, she knew that she wouldn’t be eating much but Elijah Kennedy was one of the few people left in this world whom Sophie still cared a great deal about, even though he had yelled at her and practically called her dirt the last time she had seen him. She wasn’t going to let him starve.

Closing her laptop, Sophie sat for a moment and stared at the nearly empty room. She hadn’t realized just how well Brenden and his things filled their apartment and yes, even though he was gone, as long as she lived there she would consider it ‘their apartment’. Indents and holes were visible on almost every wall of the living room even though Sophie had cleaned things up a considerable amount. She wasn’t angry anymore. She didn’t blame him for leaving her and the more she tried to focus on being angry, the more her real emotions became evident, and the more guilt overwhelmed her.


Walking into the kitchen, the strong stench of alcohol was noticeable. Though Sophie had given up on anger and breaking things, there was a satisfaction offered from a nice bottle of Patron that she just couldn’t shake. Reaching the kitchen counter, Sophie swallowed back a large amount of the clear liquid before moving to the cupboard and starting on the pizza dough. Sophie loved to cook and she loved cooking for other people. It was one of those things that just allowed her to sink into her thoughts and turn her body onto autopilot.

Aside from the pain Sophie felt from Brenden’s leave, she also hurt for Eli. Sophie hadn’t been very attuned to much of anything going on with anyone over the last few weeks but she did know that Juliet left and that knowledge left Sophie more than confused. Eli and Juliet were perfect for each other. Even though Juliet and Sophie hadn’t always got along, Sophie could see what Eli loved so much about her. The idea of her just up and leaving for no reason left Sophie in shock.

Mixing the sauce together for the pizza, Sophie exhaled a deep breath. Everything that she thought was stable in her life had managed to completely flip over in the course of two weeks. Brad spilled the beans to Brenden, Sophie lied and then admitted it, Brenden left, Juliet and Eli broke up, Brenden fell in love with Khris, Jack came home…..everything was just overwhelming and as Sophie thought about the image of Khris, one of Sophie’s best friends, lying naked next to Brenden, her hands desperately clung to the glass bottle and she tried frantically to drown her thoughts.

Finishing up the dough and coating it with sauce and fix-ins, Sophie pushed the circular tray into the oven, the warmth bringing a slight sense of comfort to her core. Trying to keep things as clean and organized as possible, Sophie quickly washed the dishes as she waited for Eli. Sophie didn’t look very good. She had lost almost fifteen pounds in two weeks and though she knew it was unhealthy, she just couldn’t force herself to take care of herself while Brenden wouldn’t even speak to her. In a petty attempt to try and hide the visible difference in Sophie, she was wearing a tight t-shirt and a pair of sweat pants. Her hair was messy and oily but Sophie didn’t care. Eli was the only one who hadn’t turned on her, she doubted he would judge her by how she looked.
