[b]Personality[/b]: JJ is a bit of a hot head. She has a condition known as Adjustment Disorder and her mood shifts rather quickly, sometimes leading her to blow a situation out of proportion. She is impatient and often blames everyone but herself for whatever misfortune comes her way, finding excuses where there should be none. JJ despises liars, and she often treats such people with no respect at all. On the flip side, she is for the most part a rational and fair individual and will always favor whatever side she believes is right, despite of personal differences. [b]History[/b]: JJ's birth name is Jennifer Marie LaCosta, although family issues prompted her mother to take sole custody of JJ and change her name in the process. For a few years, JJ was raised in a single-parent household on the bad side of town. Many different experiences made JJ realize what the real world was like, and the older she grew, the wiser she became. When JJ was 14, her mother, Nancy, married some real estate millionaire named Richard after only a few weeks of dating. In a matter of days they moved to Buckhead, and as far as JJ could tell, they were a match made to last. Unfortunately, 6 months into the marriage, Richard began to make passes as JJ. Even though JJ would complain to just about any adult she came into contact with, no one ever believed her because she was just some "bratty rich kid seeking attention". Richard's comments soon became action, and it was only a matter of time before JJ ran away from home to get away from it all. A couple of years of court cases, media coverage, and public opinions tore the family in half. Although Richard was a smart man, one slip up was all the evidence the prosecution needed to put him behind bars. Nancy inherited the mansion and had the business Richard left behind undergo a complete makeover,. Unfortunately, the damage was already done. JJ was forever scarred and to any stranger on the street, she would appear to be another woman with a sour attitude who was out for revenge. For some time, JJ found happiness as she was introduced to a world famous psychologist and his therapy was finally the answer she was so desperately seeking for many years. She found a boyfriend, moved to high-rise in downtown, helped her mother with the business, and was even trying to have a family of her own. Her happiness didn't last though. One rainy December evening claimed Nancy's life after she was involved in an accident. It was then JJ's world shattered all over again. She abandoned just about everything good in her life and went back to her old ways. Although she barely kept the business afloat with the help of a senior employee, her alcohol and drugs frenzy made it very hard for her to focus. She now attends more parties and gatherings than business meetings, and some have speculated one of these days JJ will crash and burn. [/hider]
