I hope it's alright. :)[/s] [hider=Catherine Sinclair] [center][img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v75/3monica6/bb_zpsab7ce9d8.jpg[/img] --- [b]♔ Name ♔[/b] Catherine "Wren" Sinclair [b]♔ Appearance ♔[/b] [img]http://24.media.tumblr.com/c86750e5c9f8365d1a26b510f7de069e/tumblr_mgfzjcMCdi1rmsgdto1_500.gif[/img][/center] Wren has inherited the model good looks of her mother, with just a pleasant hint of her father's strong features mixed in. She stands at an average 5'4, but somehow looks taller because of the poised and dignified way she carries herself (or, you know, the three-inch heels she likes to wear). Her golden brown hair falls to her lower back in soft waves, meticulously styled differently each day. Wren's been told that her expressive eyes are one of her biggest assets as a performer, and she has worked tirelessly to perfect the subtleties she could display with just her eyes. Wren is scrupulous with her appearance. Her fair skin is unblemished, and there's a healthy glow about it that hints at her proper diet. Slim with plentiful curves, her physique is molded to what is expected of rising stars nowadays, and she has an intense morning regimen that she religiously adheres to in order to maintain it. Needless to say, fashion-conscious Wren always adds a personal flair to her uniform. Although she usually gets away with not so much as a reprimand, by using her name or charm, there are stricter teachers and staff that aren't so easily persuaded. [center][b]♔ Age ♔[/b] 15 [b]♔ Grade ♔[/b] 10 [b]♔ Social Class ♔[/b] Elite [b] ♔ Social Class Explanation ♔[/b][/center] Wren hit the genealogical jackpot. The Sinclairs are from old money. Although they are not as powerful as they once were after losing their other film studios in a mess of a lawsuit, they've dominated in their niche in the animation industry—Synklar Studios is currently one of the world's leading digital animation studio. Then you have the Kingsleys, her mother's family, a Hollywood dynasty. Wren herself is a brilliant performer that is steadily receiving critical acclaim. She is known mostly for her work in the silver screen, but she has had some fruitful endeavors in theater. --- [center][b]♔ Personality ♔[/b][/center] Wren often feels like she's a walking bag of contradictions, like she's in between three different movies and she's perpetually cycling through their different characters. The actress, the princess, the overachiever. Because she has been under public scrutiny for most of her life, she can't help but feel defined by others' perceptions of her. If she's not working hard to prove herself, she's working hard to live up to expectations—which is harder when there are so many different things you're expected to be and do. [i]The actress.[/i] Wren puts her career over everything, with perhaps the sole exception of her family. She is opportunistic and incredibly passionate about her craft—if she sees any opportunities that results in her favor, she will take it, regardless of the consequences. Almost every action she takes is done in order to advance her career and maintain her status. Her strict diet and workouts, her acting sessions, her hours of research; they're all to improve herself. Wren also strives to live by her fans expectations, which means she often conforms to what they've projected her as: the fashionable actress with the natural charm, unable to do wrong with her quirky sense of humor and moments of ditziness. They put her on a pedestal that she can't climb down from, and at the same time it takes incredible amount of effort to stay there. [i]The princess.[/i] To those who know her only through tabloids, Wren is nothing more than the superficial daughter of a Hollywood star who gets what she wants with a snap of a finger. While there is some truth to their claim—having her parents' money literally meant she could afford whatever she wanted—she does work hard for the immaterial things she wants. Fashion-conscious and particular with her appearance, her dedication to her craft is also mistranslated as shallow self-absorption. It doesn't help that she likes to obfuscate stupidity. These sorts of people tend to value her beauty over her brains anyway, so she more readily flaunts the former. If people relegate her to the stereotypical airhead, then good. It only plays to her advantage when people underestimate her intelligence. [i]The overachiever.[/i] Only her close friends know how Wren truly is. She's smart, though not in the genius level many of the Caelbury students are, and resourceful. Whenever she gets a new role to play, she delves into really deep research about the character to make it authentic. She's passionate and devoted to whatever she commits to, sometimes to an unhealthy degree as she is prone to overexerting herself and excessively stressing. Without the armor of courtesies she has to put up for the press, Wren is this frank overachiever who likes to be in control. She honestly likes that there are people who look up to her, or that she can win people over with a honey-laced smile and a bat of an eyelash. When she doesn't have to censor herself, she is brutally honest and quite snarky. And on the flipside, self-assured Wren is also a hopeless romantic with surprisingly little experience with real (not reel) relationships. It doesn't take much to fluster her, and she has embarrassingly pure notions about romance. --- [center][img]http://media.tumblr.com/860ef566664c6df513e188435983e57c/tumblr_inline_mrscbjLXVC1qz4rgp.gif[/img][/center] --- [center][b]♔ History ♔[/b][/center] The Sinclair family is a juggernaut in the entertainment industry. They have been a dominant presence since the dawn of the television era, but even more so after the marriage of current Synklar Studios president and COO Peter Sinclair and movie legend Gwyneth Kingsley. The Kingsleys had produced quite a good number of award-winning actors back in the day, but it was Gwyneth that had been most buzzed about after a particularly iconic role. Unlike most business-minded families, the Sinclair family was quite tight-knit. Peter and Gwyneth were never absent parental figures, and was instead a constant supportive presence in their children's lives. As public figures, they're constantly involved in some sort of scandal (alleged hiring collusion, trademark infringements, or even affairs!) but they managed to weather through them all together. Catherine is the youngest of three, the only daughter and the third wheel to her identical twin brothers. Despite having a gap of five years in between them, she and her brothers were fairly close as children, and they openly doted on her. It wasn't until they graduated from Caelbury that they started drifting apart. Her older brothers have both followed in the footsteps of their father, favoring the business world and its complex economic mumbo jumbo that she doesn't pretend to know anything about. But the Kingsley blood was strong in Wren. Her brothers were born to inherit her father's business; she was born to be a performer. Wren started out auditioning for role quite early, before she could even talk properly. Having two famous names attached to her undeniably made breaching into the industry easier than it would have been, and it was a shadow that she was stuck under. For a while they treated her specially, earning the disdain of her peers, and the only name she was known as was "Gwyneth Kingsley's daughter." Tabloids were harsh on her when she first started out, calling out nepotism at every turn, especially after she had gotten her first major movie role at only seven years old. They decried her abilities and predicted that she could never get anywhere without her mother's name. All their allegations only spurned Wren to do even better. She's nothing if not determined, and she worked hard to erase any doubts that lingered about her abilities, proving them wrong by getting role after role in what would be critically-acclaimed movies. She didn't always get a major part, but her performance was always praised. By the time she was twelve, she'd proven her staying power. Her mother was naturally very supportive of her daughter's career, but her overprotective father wasn't as keen. He feared she would succumb to the child star syndrome that seemed to be common among children that start out too early, so he laid out strict ground rules for her. If she wanted to continue pursuing a career in showbiz, then she would have to attend Caelbury Academy for all four years. The prestigious academy was known for churning out exceptionally successful students that rise above all else in the world. Her father hoped that the strict institution would keep in Wren in line, or even sway her to follow in the family business. Wren didn't object. She had never been to a proper school before, but she had always wanted to experience it. Besides, there were more important things she concerned herself with. While doubters and critics were no longer a persistent problem, a bigger and scarier adversary loomed: expectations. Now that she had established a name for herself, she had to incessantly work on maintaining it. One small mistake would send the media abuzz about the rising star's misstep and it would be enough to ruin her reputation. And with school added on her plate, she now has to balance schoolwork, extracurricular activities, and her daily acting practices and research. It's impossible not to get overwhelmed. For the first time in her life, Wren's losing control and she doesn't know what to do to fix it. --- [center][img]http://data2.whicdn.com/images/91342412/large.gif[/img][/center] --- [b]♔ Extracurricular Activities ♔[/b] Cheeleading Squad [b]♔ Miscellaneous ♔[/b] › She is a big reader -- it's partly why she likes researching for her roles so much. › Her weakest subject is math, and she needs to look for a tutor to help her maintain her perfect GPA. › If she can fit it in her hectic schedule, she likes to play video games and binge watch her favorite shows. › Wren can be a bit method. After playing a tech-genius in one movie, she had spent a few days obsessing over learning how to program. And, more infamously, after playing a British character, she had been stuck with her accent for a few weeks. Some of her fans were even starting to question whether she was actually British or not. [/hider] [hider=Wren's RS] [b]Acacia Hawthorne[/b] [i]"Um, who? Pftt. Kidding, of course. I'm pretty sure everyone in this school knows Acacia. She's really amazing, you know? I feel like she can understand me really well, and I like not having to worry about which side of me to show her."[/i] It's no secret that Wren looks up to Acacia. She's like the older sister she never had, and if Wren's ever feeling completely overwhelmed, she's the person she likes to talk to. Years of performance has given Wren a good grasp of body language and subtle facial expressions, so she's one of the few that notice the little hints of sadness glinting in the older girl's eyes. She doesn't know what's bothering her, but Wren is always ready to lend an ear. ____________________________________________________________ Wren Sinclair [i]@wrenegade[/i] How can you help someone who doesn't ask for help? #iwantyoutobehappy ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ [b]Lili Lafontaine[/b] [i]"We haven't formally met, but I've heard a lot of things about her. I know gossip when I hear one, though, so I don't believe what they're saying about her."[/i] Wren knows about the Lafontaine family, but not so much about the artistic Lili. There always seems to be some sort of rumor regarding her circulating around school, but Wren knows from experience never to take those at face value. _______________________________________________________ Wren Sinclair [i]@wrenegade[/i] Rumors do not equal truth.

Potential tutor #1. He's sort of hard to get in contact with, and even harder to get to know, but I found out he likes video games, so maybe we can bond over that? I haven't been playing in a while, so I can even ask him about what good games to get."[/i] In her search for a tutor—her father is persistent about her finding one, soon—she scrapped up a list of potential candidates and Jacob is one of the top names on it. She doesn't know much about him, though. Except that he's a Gifted, so definitely smart, and a member of the JROTC. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Wren Sinclair [i]@wrenegade[/i] I miss the days when there were only real numbers.

I thought he was a Gifted when I heard about him, but I guess not. I've been trying to get to know him, though. I could go to him for advice if I ever need to speak in a different language for a role."[/i] Wren's still a little confused with the established social hierarchy in Caelbury, or at least about how the Commoners are drafted, and she wonders whether one could be promoted or demoted. She thinks Roman could definitely be promoted to Gifted, but only after he gets a good kick on the behind. Wasting talents and potential is a big no-no for Wren. _______________________________________________________________ Wren Sinclair [i]@wrenegade[/i] Need to say a few lines in Japanese.

He's good company to have, and I like listening to him play music. He's a good go-to person when you're feeling down."[/i] Wren can get along with Vladimir really well. His happy-go-lucky nature is infectious, and she has a lot of fun when he's around. She has to admit, though, she's weak against his teasing habit. Wren swears she knows he's teasing, but she always gets flustered anyway. __________________________________________________________________ Wren Sinclair [i]@wrenegade[/i] Ugh.

I've known her since I was little, but after Aunt Eva passed away and Uncle remarried, I started seeing her less and less. Anyway, I see she's still as smart as always but I don't remember her being so rebellious."[/i] As their parents both work in the entertainment industry, they've crossed path often. Wren's father goes to Rayne's father's company when he has a musical in the works. Wren got to know Rayne because they were around the same age, and she remembered being amazed at how brilliant she had been. She hasn't heard much from her after her mother's untimely death, though, so Wren can only assume she took it hard. At the very least, she knows that she doesn't like her stepmother at all. Wren didn't particularly like her either. ____________________________________________________________________________ Wren Sinclair [i]@wrenegade[/i] Seeing an old friend after a long time is a bit strange.

People assume I'm promiscuous because I look like this and I'm an actress, but I totally don't know how to handle real, not-showbiz guys. Especially musical prodigies that practically ooze charm."[/i] Wren, who likes being in control, absolutely hates it when she's reduced to a giddy excuse of a girl. She never knows how to act around James when he turns on the charm. If she's not turning beet red at his obviously offhanded compliment, then she's pathetically trying not to swoon. Wren honestly doesn't know what's wrong with her, but she swears she'll get over this soon. ____________________________________________________________________ Nicholas Sinclair [i]@nicksinclair[/i] @wrenegade First day at Caelbury!

I had to play a tech genius for this movie last year, and I bothered him nonstop so I could study him. The guy could be a real life Tony Stark, and I'll be the first on in line for his Iron Man suits." Wren and Nate are in the same grade, so they have a lot of classes together. As she mentioned, she pestered him nonstop during their freshman year so she could be get into the role. She felt bad after because he was so nice, it was like she was taking advantage of his kindness. So to compensate, she promised to get him whatever computer parts he wanted. __________________________________________________________________ Wren Sinclair [i]@wrenegade[/i] Learning to say "hello world" in C++.

Julie's a bit awkward, but I actually like it when she blurts out whatever's on her mind. Oh, and I can go to her for some language lessons, too!" Wren feels like she and Julie are on the same wavelength. She appreciates how hard she works and admires her willingness to help others. Wren can't just help someone from the goodness of her heart, not without getting something out of it as well. In any case, she loves it when Julie spouts her inappropriate tirades. ______________________________ Wren Sinclair [i]@wrenegade[/i] "There is no substitute for hard work." ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ [b]Cole Grimoire[/b] [i]"Oh, that Grimoire guy.

She feels bad for him—she's played characters suffering from unrequited love and it sucks. He seems like he could be nice enough, but he does need to be less cocky. __________________________________________________________________________________________________ Wren Sinclair [i]@wrenegade[/i] Which hurts worse?

He seems like he could teach her some awesome ways to have fun and wind down.

I don't approve of the trail of broken hearts he leaves."[/i] It was tough for Wren to get through his walls, but their affinity for books made it easy for them to get along. She appreciates his passion for literature, and likes to listen to him gush about what he thinks about the books he recently read. ______________________________________________________ Wren Sinclair [i]@wrenegade[/i] Can't sleep.

The best actor to ever grace the screen since the legendary Gwyneth Kingsley." Wren certainly has big goals. She may have trouble figuring out who she is, but she knows she has at least one constant: she is a performer. Whether she's the perfect, 'adorkable' figure her fans seem to think she is, the spoiled and superficial little princess with the negative IQ, or the cunning workaholic that has no game whatsoever, it doesn't change the fact that she is a talented performer. Wren firmly holds onto that belief; it's the only thing that keeps her from having a full on identity crisis. _______________________________________________________________ Wren Sinclair [i]@wrenegade[/i] @gwenking Presscon today at 2!

She's heard rumors about Alice as well, but as policy, she can't believe them; she knows better than anyone how harmful rumors fly. It's getting harder not to believe there's some truth in them, though. _____________________________________________________________________ Jonathan Sinclair [i]@jonsynk[/i] @wrenegade You aren't getting into trouble now, are you?

It's in the elegant way Eliza carries herself, in her quiet dignity. Her mother is everything Wren strives to be, her definition of perfection, and she holds Eliza in a similar regard.

He found the perfect balance between fun-loving and serious, and he doesn't look down on his students like she thought an incredibly important authority figure would do. She's harboring a crush on him, that's for sure, but it's all innocent. The most she'd want is a few praises here and there, and maybe for him to say that he liked one of the movies she's in. _______________________________ Wren Sinclair [i]@wrenegade[/i] Charm attacked!

Wren often finds herself peering curiously at him whenever he enters her field of vision, unconsciously trying to figure out what's on his mind. Everything about him suggests he's a kind and gentle soul, but for some reason Wren is intimidated by him. He has that look… like, if he were in a movie, he's the big plot twist waiting to happen. Wren always tries to get on his good side, because she's kind of afraid to see what happens when she's not. _________________________ Wren Sinclair [i]@wrenegade[/i] Don't wake the dragon. ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ [b]Flynn Zimmerman[/b] [i]"Oedipus is going to be fat real soon, I think, especially since I'm probably not the only one that likes to sneak him some food.

[/i] Wren finds it amusing that he managed to perfect the art of blending in, even when he towers over so many people. When she first had him as a freshman, she didn't take an immediate liking to him. He had seemed difficult to approach, and she couldn't help but feel like he saw through her, like he could easily see everything that was wrong with her. But, sure enough, adorable Oedipus had won her over and it made her reconsider how she viewed him. After all, anyone who loved this cat as much as he did couldn't be as unfeeling and scary as she unfairly pegged him as. Wren's opinion of him gradually changed since then, and now she even plays a [i]Where's Waldo[/i]-esque game whenever he's in the vicinity. It's actually a bit hilarious how hard a task that can be. ____________________________________________________ Wren Sinclair [i]@wrenegade[/i] Aha! There you are. How did I not see you standing by the door? ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ [b]Alli Kendrick[/b] [i]"Everything Coach touches turns into fun. She can work hard and play harder. Ms. Kendrick is actually the main reason I tried out for Cheer. She made it look really fun, and I couldn't resist."[/i] It was easy for Wren to like Alli. She showed her that no matter how hard you work, you could always make room for a little fun—it might even be necessary. Wren hasn't gotten the balance down, she still passes out from actually working too much, but she knows she can go to her coach for some unwinding lessons. In fact, even just going to Cheer practice helps her relax. __________________________________________________________________________ Gwyneth Kingsley-Sinclair [i]@gwenking[/i] @wrenegade Good luck at tryouts! Just think of it as another audition and you'll be golden.

She made a big scene and everything!" Wren tries to stay out of Ms. Huston's radar. She's a little too strict for her taste, although she has seen glimpses of a softer side somewhere in her. Still, she does like how she doesn't give a crap what others think of her. ________________________________________________________________ Wren Sinclair [i]@wrenegade[/i] Got caught sleeping in class today! Bit embarrassed, but it'll be a fun story to tell. ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ [b]Saul Kirschenzweig[/b] "Ah, my favorite no-nonsense, Aussie teacher. He's made me cry a few times, but it was totally worth it. He gives really good critiques, and anyone who doesn't take them seriously is stupid." Wren almost religiously goes to Mr. Kirsch for performance guidance. The man graduated from [i]Juilliard[/i] and is a Broadway legend—he knows his stuff. She is also endlessly amused by his brusqueness, although she can't explain why. Wren didn't get the chance to see him in action, but he had been one of her mother's favorite performers and she was quite upset when his career plummeted. ________________________________________________ Wren Sinclair [i]@wrenegade[/i] First class with a Broadway legend tomorrow. Super excited! ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ [b]Seth Kabhsenuf[/b] "So get this, Mr. Kab has a way of making everything he says like a riddle. I used to have to go over whatever he says a few times before I get what he meant to say. It took a while, but I've gotten quiet a hang of [i]Kabhsenufese[/i]." Wren heard a few girls talking about how Mr. Kab was actually royalty, and although she sticks by her don't-listen-to-gossip rule, she likes to think of him as an Egyptian prince (who speaks in riddle like a sphinx!). As an avid reader, she enjoys his class a lot. She likes discussing the finer points of literature with him, and goes to him when she needs help with some of her character researches. __________________________________________________________________________ Wren Sinclair [i]@wrenegade[/i] Riddle me this, riddle me that, send me some riddles, stat!

From what she said, she seems like a sweet person." Wren doesn't know much about Ms. Honey, although she has heard other students taking on bets on the reason she took off a year from school. She pays no mind to them, however. _______________________________________________________________________ Wren Sinclair [i]@wrenegade[/i] Watched Matlida last night! I wonder if all Ms. Honeys are as sweet as their namesakes… ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ [b]Damien Lilly[/b] "Mr. Lilly's class is pretty fun. Explosions everywhere!" Wren likes the all the fun labs they do, but she feels like she has to be extra cautious during Chem class. Explosive chemicals are as fun as they are dangerous, after all. Mr. Lilly seems to have a handle of things, but sometimes, he goes out of his way to keep the other students entertained, and that often results in bigger, riskier explosions. ___________________________________________ Wren Sinclair [i]@wrenegade[/i] Kaboom!
