|Name|Jessica Ashley Wilson
|Nickname|Jessie or Jess
Jessica does not like being called Jessie. She feels that it's a more childish version of her name. She only accepts being called Jessie from childhood friends who've called her that for years, or little kids.
On the other hand, if you want to call her Jess, go ahead. She doesn't mind.

|In Depth Appearance|When you imagine a cheerleader, you're probably imagining someone who looks like Jessica. She has the stereotypical shimmering blonde hair. Her hair extends down to her waist and no, she doesn't straighten it. It's naturally straight. It's mostly flowing down or in a ponytail but on occasion she'll put more effort in her hairstyles. When Jessica is fed up with her bangs, she'll french braid the front part of her hair. And when she's feeling particularly pretty or for a special occasion, her hair will be in a more intricate style. And her almond-shaped brown eyes are often sparkling with enthusiasm and warmth. Oh, and Jessica has got her eye-roll down to perfection.
Standing at a height of 5'7, Jessica has legs that seems to extend for days, and a slender figure. Her skin tone is on the paler side, but after a summer at camp, she tans nicely.
|Clothing Style|Jessica's motto when it comes to clothing is "Easy, breezy, beautiful." Nope, just kidding. It's actually "Simple but fashionable". Despite what people may think, Jessica dislikes accessories like necklaces, bracelets, rings, etc. She tries to find simple clothing that mark her a fashionista without going overboard.
For the most part, Jessica is often seen in short denim pants and the fashionable T shirt. She's brought some cardigans, hoodies, some sweatpants and exercise pants as well.
She brought her favorite black and white gingham checked bikini for her bathing suit.
|Scars, Tattoos, Piercings|Jessica has her ear lobes pierced. She also has a birthmark on her right ankle.G E T T I N G T O K N O W M E

|Personality|β¦ Bright β¦ Sarcastic β¦ Kind β¦ Bubbly β¦There's an upbeat air around Jessica all the time, accompanied by a bright smile. True to her archetype as a cheerleader, she's always cheerful and willing to make someone smile. Jessica is probably one of the most empathetic people you will ever meet. She's the type of person to cry when other people cry, and she gets really bad second hand embarrassment whether it be in real life or in response to movies or TV shows.
However, Jessica is very frustrated with being associated with the cheerleader stereotype. Just because she's a cheerleader, just because she's a blonde doesn't mean that she's an airheaded bimbo. Contrary to stereotypes, she's very smart. It's her life goal to break free from the cheerleader/blonde stereotype, but it probably doesn't help that she has her 'blonde moments'. Despite her intelligence, she has a tendency to overlook the obvious because she overthinks it and over-complicates it.
Of course, being in Pink, it goes without saying that Jessica has a very witty, sassy aspect to her. Jessica always has the sassiest comebacks, and she has a very sharp tongue. A lot of her speech is dripping with sarcasm. The more comfortable she is with someone, the more sarcastic she is. Anytime there's an opportunity for a witty, funny comment you can usually count on Jessica to supply it. However, it's often a double-edged sword. Sometimes she goes too far, or says one sarcastic comment too many and hurts people. This is followed by her apologizing profusely for a long time. She knows that she needs to work on filtering all of her comments.
On the other side of her bubbly, happy personality, Jessica has a tendency to bottle up all of her emotions. By trying to be nice and friendly and upbeat all of the time, Jessica shoves any anger, irritation, or nerves aside. If she's annoyed or doesn't like someone, she'll still smile and treat them nicely, but on the inside she'll be listing off all of the reasons why she hates that person. She tries not to be catty, but sometimes... You just have to vent. When it overflows, Jessica explodes. Either she's throwing a fit, or wailing and sobbing. Fortunately it doesn't happen too often, but when it does... Stay away from her. This tendency also is apparent when she panics or freaks out, which happens when things divert from the plan. Jessica needs a plan and a guidebook. She doesn't like improvising. She can be a control freak, losing control scares her a lot.
As a general rule, Jessica is a very pleasant person to be around. It helps that not only is she attractive, she's a natural flirt. It's not that she's necessarily flirting on purpose, she's just charming and endearing.
|Place of Origin|Los Angeles, California
|History|Everything seems to come so effortlessly to Jessica. That's how she portrays herself.
But it's not really the case.
The only thing that came naturally to her is her musical ability. Everything else--her smarts, her athletic ability, her confidence, her toned figure...everything--is something that Jessica quite literally worked her ass off for.
As a child, Jessica was much different. She was a chubby, overweight child who hated physical activity and wasn't the brightest bulb in the shed. Because of this, she was bullied in elementary and middle school and as a result, became an insecure loner. It was rare to hear her talk above a murmur, and she would be as small as possible, hoping that people wouldn't notice her.
To Jessica, her one respite was music. She took piano lessons for a really long time, and in 6th grade, she had her first recital. Her lessons paid off, and after years of practice, she played beautifully. This was a turning point in her life in which she realized that if she practiced and worked hard at something, she could succeed. Until then, she had given up on everything else.
So for the rest of her middle school life, Jessica quit music to throw herself into bettering herself in everything. She started taking gymnastic lessons to combat her weight gain and lack of athletic ability. She spent countless hours with tutors to attempt to understand academic subjects. She spent days poring over magazines to try to be trendy, fashionable, and cool. She practiced smiling and confidence by looking into the mirror and saying good things about herself. Slowly but surely, Jessica began transforming herself.
By the time she reached high school, Jessica became the person that she always wanted to be... Well, almost. It still takes her about 3 times more effort and studying to understand school-related subjects, and it takes her a lot of practicing to do athletic activities like dancing or cheer, but she's gotten a lot better. It's a process that's still taking place. She's still insecure about herself--if there's one thing she doesn't want, it's for people to not like her and to discover how lame she used to be--but she feels a lot better. Her confidence practice paid off.
And most importantly, she likes being herself now. And maybe, that's all she ever wanted.
|Extra|--She's good at piano
--She's broken a lot of bones over the years.
--Allergic to cats
|Theme Song|
I Am - Hillary Duff
βI'm someone filled with self-belief
And haunted by self-doubt
I've got all the answers
I've got nothing figured out
I like to be by myself
I hate to be alone
I'm up and I am down
But that's part of the thrill
Part of the plan
Part of all of the things I amβ
Alright, just going to put this here...will make revisions as needed.Katsuya Bogdani
βHa! Nothing makes one so vain as being told one is a sinner!β
-Brian SladeT H E B A S I C S
|Name|Katsuya Birchgrove
|Nickname|βKatβ β has become the preferred name of one Katsuya Bogdani because the masculine act of shorting the name to remove formality coupled with the feminine connotations of the nickname itself acts as a reflection of Katsuyaβs androgyny; however, an equally viable scenario is that as a non-binary youth growing up in such an inhospitable place as Pittsburg the nickname βKatβ is an unfortunate byproduct of juvenile bullying by immature peers coupled with the intrinsic national desire to Americanize foreign sounding names. However, when asked about the origins of the nickname Katsuya has been known to weave conflicting tales in order to perpetuate the air of mystery that surrounds her.
|Birth Date|October 16, 1998
|Age|17

|In Depth Appearance|With a name like Katsuya there are certain intrinsic expectations one might have of the person possessing this name however, in this case the name itself acts as a faΓ§ade and nothing could prepare you for the bearerβs actual appearance. Identifying as an androgyne Katsuya has crafted her image to resemble the penultimate juxtaposition of masculine and feminine; so even upon closer inspection it is hard to tell if Katsuya is a flat chested girl or merely an effeminate looking boy. Katsuya has retained some oriental features despite being a child of an interracial marriage, though her pale skin is a product of seventeen years exposed to Pittsburgβs grueling winters coupled with an aversion to any outdoor activity rather than any genetic symptom. Katsuya is also rather petite standing at five feet ten inches and weighing only one hundred and five pounds; Katsuya takes pride in this as to her it is a physical representation of her androgyny. Another thing about Katsuya that one might notice is her teal dyed hair, but that is not a permanent feature as Katsuya changes the color of her hair every couple months as keeps people on their toes per say.
|Clothing Style|Katsuya has packed a variety of different clothing options ranging from the tried-and-true tshirt and jeans combo to more formal dresses; being one that values spontaneity Katsuya made sure to pack a plethora of clothing related options. A special outfit in Katsuyaβs wardrobe is a silk kimono weaved by her mother, needless to say that this rose-blossom tinted garment is only worn in moments of reverence.
|Scars, Tattoos, Piercings|Other than the golden hoop that is usually protruding from Katsuyaβs right earlobe, she has no other distinguishing scars, tattoos, or piercings.G E T T I N G T O K N O W M E

|Personality|β¦ Imaginative β¦ Artisticβ¦ Spontaneous β¦ Rebelliousβ¦Katsuya is disrespectful of any type of authority and feels like a hierarchy only hampers her ability to express herself as she sees fit at any given moment; this is problematic when working with others as she thrives off of subverting otherβs expatiations of her. She is also to coin a fitting phrase an enigma wrapped in a riddle coated in enigma sauce because for example at times she can be blissfully unaware of social graces yet at the same time strive to challenge these conventions. Katsuya lives to pursue her passions regardless of the risks involved and coupled with her need for the admiration of this is a most dangerous concoction; an unnecessary theatrical risk outweighs simply finishing the task at hand with no incidents. Her eccentricity has a certain charm about it and she is adapt at finding the right compliment to break the resolve of those that would call her out; however, any criticism that is laid against her no matter how benign affects her on a personal level and she cannot help seeing it as an unwarranted attack.
|Place of Origin|Pittsburg, Pennsylvania
|History|Katsuyaβs was born to a family of immigrants; her father left Albania in 1991 disgusted with rampant corruption ushered in by reformism, while her mother arrived from Japan in the late eighties to pursue a career in avant-garde theater and escape from her traditionalist parents back home. Her fatherβs career as a one of the tristate areaβs few Lacanian psychoanalysts coupled with his belief in the democratic family greatly influenced Katsuyaβs upbringing in as far as it allowed her to develop in a rather liberal environment without the fear of punishment or judgement; in laymanβs terms Lacanian psychoanalysis teaches that the human subject is created through social interaction and one must learn to vanquish the narcissistic illusions of the self, so in order not to deprive the child of important psychological development the Bogdani household was open to anybody and everybody. Therefore young Katsuya was raised amongst an endless stream of drifters, vagabonds, her fatherβs patients, wayward leftists, and so. This rotation of faces from all walks of life affected the young child especially those that belonged to her motherβs theater troupe; it was possible the repeat viewing of these neo-cabaret performances that allowed the child the enlightenment needed to appreciate the harmonious symmetry between the sexes and eventually identify as an androgyne.
School life has not been particularly easy for Katsuya and she has been the target of many a bully, yet she learned to endure by perpetuating a front of detachment and unpredictability; as an admitted attention-seeker and in constant need of an audience Katsuya is not above carrying out overly dramatic revenge schemes much to the chagrin of her father who believes she should rise above such ideology. Katsuya enjoys reveling in her sexual freedom, but deep downs she fears forming an emotional connection to someone else as that opens the door to complacency.
Katsuyaβs enrolled in Camp Liberty this year after being spurred on by her father recounting a long-winded story about his own years toiling in the Communist Youth building bunkers back in Albania and how the profound the experience was; the rugged allure of camp life always piqued Katsuyaβs interest and she always enjoyed the prospect of implanting herself on a strangerβs psycheβ¦according to popular culture no one forgets camp memories, thusly it was decided that she would attend camp this year if only for the sentimental value. Katsuya was drawn to Team Grey for its non-hierarchal structure and laid back nature.
|Extra|In real life I live in Florida, so summer has lost some of its appeal as it never ends here.

βAnd everything was made for you and me
