[color=CB4E46]Personality:[/color] Rue is a headstrong, driven, and often times stubborn individual with incredible artistic talent. She knows she is good, but knows there is always room for improvement. She has her beliefs and she sticks to them no matter the obstacle placed in front of her. This has often led to her being in trouble with authority for speaking her mind. Despite this, she maintains a good grade point average and is very bright in her studies.

She is friendly, but she doesn't go out of her way to make friends. While she may smile at other students in the hallway or say hello to someone she knows, she doesn't strive to be the center of attention at the party. She is much more comfortable standing in the corner, dancing by herself, than talking to a group of people.

Along with being stubborn, she doesn't back down from a challenge. Growing up with three older brothers has forced her to be able to defend herself in extreme circumstances. She is tough and willing to take a bully down a peg if they are asking for it. She doesn't go around defending everyone she sees, but sometimes it's important to be the hero.

Above all, Rue does care about those she is close to, whether it's her friends or her family. If you want to mess with them, you better watch out for the blonde bombshell coming at you.

[color=CB4E46]Background:[/color] The youngest child in the Rineheart household, Prudence was born to Hector and Isabelle and was named after her great grandmother (to this day, she still hates her name). Being the only girl in the household besides her mother has forced Prudence to grow up a bit faster than most would have wanted. At constant odds with her brothers, she learned to defend herself against their ever growing list of pranks and fights. Using her brains over her brawn, she was able to outmaneuver her brothers and manage to survive the onslaught of gas and B.O.

Prudence discovered her artistic talents at a young age when her 4th grade teacher made a mention of it during a parent-teacher conference. Her teacher encouraged her abilities and they slowly spread from colored pictures, to paint, to sketches. It wasn't until Prudence got to sketching in 7th grade that she finally found her niche. Her love for her pencil and sketch pad grew through high school and she devoted much time to improving her skills, hoping to one day enter the art field as an in-demand artist. Knowing full well the art field is cut-throat and demanding, this didn't leave her much time to enjoy high school, go to parties, date, or attend school dances. This led to her being considered an outcast by her peers. She wasn't avoided, but no one really went out of their way to talk to her. Prudence didn't care about that. She had her close set of friends and that was all she needed.

Her senior year of high school was a bumpy one when she started voicing her opinions more often. She made many a teacher mad by her views on different topics like religion, politics, and especially gender issues. She was sent to detention more times than not because she didn't agree with the view points and wouldn't be quiet about it. She also joined a few protests and rallies to continue voicing her opinions. Her parents, while supportive, urged her to hold back. She would not listen.

If it wasn't for her guidance counselor, Ms. Samuels, she probably would still protest to this day and would not have attended Straider University. Her art skills were very much improved. Her parents worried about her going to school so far away, and knowing they didn't have much money to send her there, Prudence fought hard and managed to nab an art scholarship. Though it paid for a chunk of tuition, it wasn't a full ride. She ended up picking a part-time job to make ends meet and make sure she was fed constantly. She hated working retail, but it paid the bills.

It wasn't until she saw the poster offering money for research that she decided to quit her job and participate. Little did she know how it would change her life and open herself up to something she never would have expected. It's time to be the hero again.
