Her physique is skinny to average, her shoulders evidently broader. Regular morning jogs and squats contributed to her hourglass body shape. She has strong features, a defined jawline and cheekbones that she got from the European side of the family. The other side, a mix of Asian and Hispanic descent, gave her a fierce set of dark-green almond shaped eyes. Her hair, reddish brown with strands of highlights, reaches a little bit longer than shoulder length which she would often tie into a pony or bun. Archie likes to experiment with fashion. Growing up, she tried a variety of looks, from punk to chonga chic, manic pixie and hip hop. Eventually, she settled with the simple, professional look of elegance,a huge transformation from Sid Vicious to Sandie Shaw overnight. Her usual get up consists of a buttoned down shirt or blouse, or casual dresses. She would sometimes wear vests, sweaters or blazers over her shirts, paired with either skinny jeans, slacks or pencil skirts, and a pair of oxfords. She avoid heels as much as possible, but admits to an "odd feeling of empowerment." whenever she wears it, taking some pride while she hovers above her lesser men. She does light, natural make up, but would more than rely on creams and moisturizers rather than caking her face.[/indent] [hr][center][img]http://67.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mcf3zgvJiT1rtssdu.gif[/img] [img]http://66.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mcf40oPVnY1rtssdu.gif[/img] [i][/i][/center] [color=93C4AE][b][u]Personality[/u][/b][/color] [indent] An angelic poet with a razor sharp tongue, is what best describe Archie if one would get to know her a night over drinks, with you being the one to pay the tab of course. She's a hands on, straight to the point type of person. She refuses to sugarcoat reality specially in her line of work and instead, would rather present the ugly, steaming pile of raw truth. She wont even care if feelings are hurt in the process even the ones she care for, as long as its for the greater good. Because of this, others would dismiss her attitude as pure insolence, abrasiveness, sometimes without even realizing it herself how far she's going. It is no surprise that plenty hate her guts, but with every ten people she once called "friends" had turned their backs, there's always a few who's worth more than everything she had lost. Despite what people think of her, Archie is a truly nice person, that people in her professional setting would find it hard to believe. A loyal, compassionate and fun loving friend is one of the many unseen traits of the fiery fighter. Between work and school schedules, she'd make time to have fun, her favorites being in pubs or coffee shops. She's not too quick to judge, and prefers to hear both sides and factors before coming to a conclusion. As strong and intense as she is, Archie secretly has insecurities. Sure, she can carry herself up no matter how many times she landed face flat, although she's good at not showing it, Archie easily breaks like sugar glass. It doesn't help that she has a drinking habit, w/c makes things ten times more worst when confronting her problems. And growing up in a family who didnt accept her contributed to a great deal with her depression. Still she kept going with a straight face, unfazed and collected, only but a facade to the fragile and broken person that she truly is.

Her childhood friends distinctly remembered her as that pale ginger-haired boy with a neck brace, who doesnt really say much at first meeting, but would overwhelm you with stories once given the chance, a boy brimming with brightness showing in his intelligent eyes. The Chaneys are a close knit family, with two children; an older daughter and a youngest son in a privilaged upper middle class catholic household. When he first came out, his parents was at the very most, surprised of the young boy's sudden revelation. It was hardly a surprise since they previously taken some hints with their son's fascination of everything feminine. In their own accord they would provide him with everything he needed to "re-adjust" as if providing all things boyish will "make him come to his senses" when he turns of age. Eventually Samuel concealed everything for his parents sake, a sacrifice that made him weary and problematic in the long run. It made him anxious, as if there was something amiss, an overbearing heartache he couldn't even comprehend. But he later came out to some of his close friends, who genuinly showed support and it helped him take little steps in getting a close grasp of his wish. As a young teen, he led vivacious, troublesome lifestyle produced mostly by his mundane reality, constantly ditching class and running away from home, only to be dropped off by a police cruiser in the middle of the night. Once he stole his parents credit card to get himself fake ids and stay at a bar two nights straight with his friends, the next day he was caught drunk, robbing and vandalizing a house a couple of blocks who turned out was the pastor's. His parents, ashamed and extremely disappointed, took him to counseling w/c indeed helped the 16 year old. Regular sessions made him more comfortably open to his psychologist, who always gave a ready ear to listen. It made him feel accepted, the talks gave him strength to pursue his transitioning and once again he opened it up to his parents during a session with his doctor. Although it was hard to make them understand, his father stoic since the whole exchange and his mother, who had freaked out but sooner tries to understand, finally made an agreement for the sake of their son's well being. Samuel, was now called Marcella during her transition and after her operation w/c her parents not so wholeheartedly payed for. Eversince, they were now completely unreachable, with only her sister, Holly, welcomed the young woman with opened arms. Since then her life took a positive turn, as she gained support from her newfound friends at the lgbt community and found the willingness to return her dedication to studying in the hope of winning back her parents . After graduating highschool with high honors, she gained a scholarship in college and took up journalism. College was everything she had hoped for, new friends, new sights, a myriad of choices in a vast sea of possibilities. Between her studies she applied a part time job at a local writing agency, a publishing house across the uni to make up for college loans. That's where she honorably earned the name "Queen Cobra" for her dangerously straightforward approach in interviews, despite the constant death threats from unknown senders. Archie one day got news from home that her father had a heart attack and has to be immediately rushed to the hospital, almost a week before she even found out of the whole happening. Angry, she rushed to the hospital to meet her mother who held her back, the reason for the deception was her father had wished to never see her. This broke Archie's heart, her mother, who still calls her by her birth name, tried to explain shed be risking an episode in his fragile condition, w/c her mother confessed, after years of holding back, that they have never truly gotten over her transitioning. It wasn't really news to Archie, ever since she always knew they'd never accept her as a daughter. She nednt say a word as she walked off, holding back the tears, never even bothered an argument that will likely go nowhere. She had found solace in the bottom of a bottle more so recently than before, with the stress from work, school and home being a trigger to her growing addiction.

The only people that get away with calling her Philomena are her grandparents, and they have passed away. 'Boo Berry' was a nickname given to Phil by a former crush who gave her the name due to her then blueberry colored hair and her ghostly complexion. Phil maintains that they were just really craving cereal at the time. It's most often used to poke fun at her.

Has had feelings for ladies but also thinks a couple of guys are cute.[/indent] [color=cyan][b][u]Appearance[/u][/b][/color] [indent]The nickname of 'Boo Berry' is certainly apt, at least in the sense of 'Boo'. Phil has rather pale skin and always has to the point where that's an easy identifier for people. Ask someone to describe Phil and the first thing out of their mouths will be a comment about her skin color. The next might be about her clashing, vibrant hair. To contrast with the pale complexions of her skin, Phil took to coloring her hair bright, noticeable colors just to get people to stop staring at her like some sort of oddity because she didn't frequent tanning salons. These days, however, Phil hovers between regular black hair or a dull lavender. Standing out still happens, but it's less by choice these days. Phil's rather slender and rather short at 5'4" with thin arms and legs and no real presence of a shapely figure. Doing her no favors in that regard, Phil frequently wears baggy clothing, shirts in too-large sizes, sweatshirts, the like. Phil is a petite person in practically every sense of the word, never one to wear trendy outfits and often clashing her colors on purpose, a sort of silent protest to the pointless world of couture. Her eyes are normally blue but she wears colored violet lenses just because she likes the color and it goes well enough with her persona in general. There's a noticeable burn mark on her left arm around which there's a little circle of flowers tattoo. She's never said which came first but talking about either tends to get no response from Phil.

Phil is a quiet person and always bringing up the rear simply because she likes to hang back and listen more than she likes to take charge and have all eyes on her. But just because she is quiet doesn't mean she is soft spoken and in fact when she speaks it's never with mixed words. While not exactly blunt to the point of sounding like an asshole, Phil will point out the flaws and problems whenever someone comes up with ideas or plans or tells stories or things of that nature. Phil is a great listener which in turn makes her great at reading people and cutting through the haze of bullshit people, herself included, spout on a regular basis. Because of her often reasonable responses to grandiose statements, people come to Phil for advice which she never feels quite qualified enough to give but does so anyway. She gives an air of 'leave me the hell alone' but old habits being what they are, Phil relishes any opportunity to engage in conversation with people who haven't made up their mind about her from a simple glance. On that same trail, Phil doesn't trust people unless she has truly gotten to know them. She holds everyone at an arm's length and then some so that neither party will be able to disappoint the other. Other than her 'sage' advice and her habit of calling people out, Phil doesn't often interact with people on her own, preferring they come to her. Phil is not a proactive sort of person. She lets things play out naturally rather than try to influence them or stack the odds in her favor. Even when someone catches her eye and people encourage her to go over and say something, Phil shrugs her shoulders and waits; should nothing happen Phil simply states that some things just don't work out. While not exactly pessimistic, to call her an optimist would be woefully incorrect. Phil's a practical person and her quiet nature compared with what they knew of Phil years ago has people wondering how someone like her can change so quickly.

They lived in a modest ranch home and things were simple. Philomena was a quiet girl in elementary school, the one that only spoke when the teacher called on her and who spent recess hanging out by the wall until the bell rang and it was time to go back inside. She did have friends that she spoke with before and after school, but they were in different classes and never got to hang out much during school hours. She was a friendly sort, just a bit on the quiet side. School was for school, not socializing. But one thing was constant: her grades. In elementary school Philomena was getting near perfect marks on tests. That trait continued into high school where she was placed in AP courses and was consistently getting high grades, to the point where it was assumed she would be making the speech at graduation. But high school was also when Philomena became 'Phil' to people. While Phil was still Philomena at the core, in that she was making top marks and turning in homework on time, Phil was also something of a wild child. Phil entered her freshman year with loud hair and a louder voice and it wasn't long before Phil was known as a social butterfly, being invited to parties and always being seen at them with drink in one hand and a cigarette in another. Her parents started showing concern when Philomena was going out more frequently, but the good grades kept up so they were willing to let things slide within reason. People knew that when Phil was on the scene that the party was sure to be legendary. And they often were. Phil could always be relied on to do shots of some unknown alcohol combination and to take a hit of some pill. Her senior year saw a rapid decline in her performance, all but tanking her chances to be valedictorian. She still graduated, but her family had been so proud of her for being in the running to be valedictorian that there was an air of disappointment as she walked up to get her diploma. Phil never got the chance to go to college. Sure, she had gotten accepted at her first choice, but she never set foot on campus. Phil's substance abuse became all she cared about, staying out late and waking up in places she only vaguely remembered. Phil fell off the grid shortly after everyone graduated only to suddenly resurface six years later very obviously different than how her closest friends remembered her. Gone was the social butterfly, replaced by the soft spoken, quiet girl. She even looked even more pale than usual, which worried some even as Phil said not to worry about anything. Phil's kept quiet on what she'd been doing for the past six years, but inquisitive sorts have started to piece things together.
