Though she does have a scrawny body type and a rather strange hairstyle, it's obvious that those around her would be drawn to the fact that she is missing a few body parts. Other than her deformities, though, Erin could be considered a nice-looking woman, with a round face, small nose and mouth, large, blue eyes, and bleached hair that has a strip of black running through it. She's rather pale, mostly because her skin barely sees the outside light, and is underweight from barely eating. Her hands are elegant and calloused from writing and typing for most of her life, and despite walking about with a crutch she carries around an air of richness that could not have been discarded once she moved away from her overbearing family. She is missing her left leg and right eye from a horrible car accident that occurred when she was still in middle school, and normally hides these deformities with an [url=http://i1252.photobucket.com/albums/hh579/Gankona13/Bikko600993882_zps0188c7dc.jpg]eye patch and bandages.[/url] Has an array of other scars and cuts on her torso and arms, but they are mostly healed. Her outfits of choice are almost always black or gray, and she especially loves crop tops and dresses. [u][b]Background Info:[/b][/u] The daughter of a rich and large family, Erin was raised and spoiled as much as the next wealthy kid. She spent her younger days writing and messing around with her father's technology, and was often scolded for doing so. Despite that, she was a surprisingly smart individual, and did well in her classes at school. English and writing were her strong points, while she didn't do so well in the sciences and math portions. She was still praised by her family though, which only helped to inflate her ego a bit (and her collection of stuffed animals and pets). Elementary school blew passed like a breeze, and Erin was happy with a life full of family, friends, and smarts. Her fear of men was conceived at the age of ten, when her father began to realize that his little girl would be taken from him soon if she were to fall in love with another man. Mr. Keller began to tell her horror stories about men, showing her horrible clips of men, just doing anything to turn his little girl away from the idea of dating another male. It began to backfire, though, when Erin began to grow so scared of men that she would actually run and hide or attack them if one were to get too close. Her father was no exception. The fear could now grow by itself, and with each passing glance at a man it would inflate more and more until Erin couldn't even stand living in the same household as one. She was transferred to an all-girls school, and her father and any male workers or family members were to stay far, far away from her room. One day after school, during a rather... Calm spell, as Erin would put it, the family had decided to send Erin's father to pick her up from classes. When she entered the car and saw him in the driver seat, though, she emitted an ear-splitting scream and fell back into the street. Fear kept her moving, but not fast enough, as she was struck suddenly with a speeding van. Her leg was crushed, and the debris formed by skidding wheels dug deeply into her right eye, scarring the flesh. The next year was spent in a hospital and rehabilitation center. Her leg and eye had been much too damaged to repair, so they were simply amputated, and Erin had to grow used to not having a leg. By the age of fourteen she was fully prepared to return outside, but her entire attitude had changed. She was much more crass and abrasive, and her fear of men had been somewhat handled with a therapist (but not really). She went through high school with her head lowered, she lost interest in friends and everything social, and grew much more anxious in crowds, feeling as though everyone would stare at her deformities. She dropped out at the age of seventeen, feeling the pressure was just too much to handle, and Erin became a recluse, staying in her room for most of her days until she was finally kicked out and sent to live by herself in an apartment complex called Blackwing. Her family still sent her money, but only enough for food for the month. Her rent was paid for by her short novels, which she had began to write at the age of seventeen. While she still isn't comfortable around the men of the apartments, Erin is rather curious about the tenants, and will observe them at times by hanging out in the lobby. [u][b]Things to Know:[/b][/u] Keller Corp: A company run by Robert and Marie Keller, Erin's parents. Focuses mostly in the electronics industry and have created a variety of tablets, smartphones, and other helpful gadgets. Erin used to be praised just because of her last name by strangers, though it hasn't happened as often anymore. Androphobia: The fear of men, given to Erin by her overbearing father. While she used to just run from men who got too close in the past, now adays she is much more ready to beat them to a pulp, even if she doesn't mean it. She can now stand to be in the same room as a man, but will not take lightly if they get in range of her crutches. Currently trying to snap herself outta the fear. Amputation: Erin was given the choice of receiving a prosthetic but refused during an awful fit and was never given another chance. She is rather good at hopping around on one leg but finds it much less awkward to just use crutches. Her eye is normally closed, even without the eye patch, because the carnage underneath is a bit gruesome even now. Kyle Eckleburg: Erin's pen name, used to write her popular action-fantasy novellas. Is somewhat afraid of her own alias. [u][b]Other:[/b][/u] - Smokes, at least half a pack a day now. - Obsessed with cats. - Has written three short, relatively popular novels.
