[/color][/indent] [color=BA55D3][color=1e8910]║[/color] Occupation [color=1e8910]║[/color][/color] [indent][color=f4bbff][color=BA55D3]▷[/color] Gardening with Remy's grandmother, Robin. Always on Sundays and randomly throughout the week. [color=BA55D3]▷[/color] Volunteers as an altar server at Holy Angels Parish [color=BA55D3]▷[/color] The library is one of her favorite fortresses to visit. She likes to bring books to Remy's other grandmother, Irina, and read to her. That really isn't an occupation... it's more of a way of life. To find out more of what waits for her outside of Westworth through stories.[/color][/indent] [color=BA55D3][color=1e8910]║[/color] Appearance [color=1e8910]║[/color][/color] [indent][color=f4bbff][i]She sits there at her bedside, staring out her window toward the clandestine sky. Her wavy, honey-blond hair flows like the nearby river, no force or holding back, free and boundless. The way of a child. Her sherbet sweet lips as soft as lilac, with a striking red. As if her kiss is like rosebuds peeping out of snow. Her nebulous, rapture-blue eyes sparkles as bright as the guardian angels that watch over each and every one of us and her joyous smile compliments everything that is... her. A natural beauty. A never-aging dreamer. A page-master in an immersive world. The heroine of an unlikely plot line.[/i] [b][color=BA55D3]HA![/color][/b] [i]She did not have horns of a ferocious beast, wings of a whimsical fairy, or a unique skin color of a cold yet captivating race like the dark elves. No dragon blood running through her veins, gills to breath under water, or tribal tattoos to symbolize all the battles she has won. If her father didn't think having an animal would be a nuisance and a distraction to her, she would have a pet but it wouldn't talk to her and tell her when she was near a trap or give her assistance in solving puzzles. A true animal familiar and traveling companion. She was not like her favorite character, Ilene, who was something more than what she was. On the surface, Ilene was a mortal orphan during the 1930s in Ireland. She had the gift to see things for what they were. An innate ability to look past illusions, to locate people during the present, and to have the power to rewrite the future. What did Rachel Watts have to offer? Her attire had no rhyme or reason. A girl who likes hats. Okay, good for her. A girl who carries extra outfits and items for certain occasions, especially for the sake of adventuring, like a compass and spyglass. Weird, but give her props for individuality. Her mind was what her father would describe as an endless dark void that she chose to get lost in as a coping mechanism. A girl who gets carried away with radical ideas and who cannot grasp essential concepts every adult should understand. A girl that succumbs to depression since the time her mother left her behind. No funny business, Rachel.

The reason behind their daughter's odd tendencies and eccentric personality? She has social anxiety and has been fighting demons since Rosaline, Rachel's biological mother, left Westworth. Rachel may seem like an absolute sweetheart and a lovable companion, but don't let that fool you. She is impaired and lets her emotions overwhelm her to the point that she avoids taking anything truly seriously. Don't worry though, they've been taking care of her just fine and can only hope she's ready to take on the next stage of her life. But if she doesn't? Looks like Rachel might be stuck in Westworth for the rest of her life with her parents, huh? That's okay. At least the basket case has a loving home.[/color][/indent] [indent][color=BA55D3]What I Know:[/color] [color=f4bbff]Rachel is a beloved girl, even if everyone thinks she has a lot more issues than she thinks she has. Ambitious, creative, and unpredictable. Passion thrives in her and it shows when she talks, whether she's geeking out about one of the books she's read or talking out loud about her perspective on what she sees in present time (Example, Sir Clarke from the Knights of the Cheesecake table has thrown his squire's quill at a sleeping centaur. How will the creature react?!). A dreamer through and through, who believes she is meant for greater things even if there are so many beasts squandering her potential. There are too many voices in her head telling her she is useless. What is on her mind is impossible to achieve. Live a secure and safe life, here where your home is. People can judge her as they see fit. Listen to the words around them or get to know her themselves. Mind you, it won't be easy to get her to talk about extremely personal things like her life at home, especially since she tries to keep everyone focused on themselves. She'll support you but you don't need to support her. Just let her smile, be happy, and have no worries! Hakuna matata! Truly, Rachel is just another teen going through her own personal struggles like everyone else. A phenomenal listener since she thinks everything people have to say is worth listening to. She may be on the childish side because she finds happiness in magic, but that doesn't make her any different from anyone else. A junior worried about her future with a not so perfect life. Oh Whoopie Doo! How does it feel to be alive?[/color][/indent] [hr][hr][center][img]http://i.imgur.com/3WEA0pR.gif[/img][/center] [center][b][color=BA55D3]I'm a storyteller; that's what exploration really is all about.

All your teachers have gotten in contact with me expressing their concerns. I want to know how you're doing and if there's anything I can do for you.[/color][/b] [color=BA55D3][i]I don't know, dad... Has sleep ever been really that great for me unless I have a book in my hand, glowing stars on my ceilings, and baby mozart playing on repeat? I don't think my grades have anything to do with mom leaving. Trust me, I got over that years ago. But you'll never believe that, would you? Why don't you stop acting like you know how I feel. Stop expecting I'll tell you everything that's going on in my head. I won't.[/i] [b]I'm okay, really. I'll figure something out, don't worry. Maybe I just need to study harder. Honestly, I can't wait until the next book of Beyond These Walls come out.[/b][/color] [color=#967bb6][b]There she goes again with those damned books. She needs to grow up, Peter. And I think a good start would be donating these books meant for [i]children[/i]. The library would appreciate first edition, hard cover copies, I'm sure. And when the hell are they going to stop writing for this series? The first book was released when you were in third grade, Rachel! I honestly don't understand how the author gets much money off of this when all his original readers are now teenagers.[/b][/color] [color=f4bbff][b][color=#6c5669]You know as much as I do, it's the one thing--[/color][/b] [color=BA55D3][i]One thing what?! Keeping me alive? Keeping me from committing suicide? Keeping me from hating everyone around me?[/i] [b]Abigail, I mean... mother, my life isn't completely these books! I have friends and I'm always outside enjoying my time and making memories! Isn't that what you guys want? For me to enjoy my childhood before I graduate?[/b][/color] [color=#967bb6][b]Surround yourself with kids who won't fill your head with rubbish. I'm still not sure I like your curfew being 10, but your father trusts you,[i] I guess[/i].[/b][/color] [color=BA55D3][i]Do you like a glimpse of something that happens more frequently than I'd like to admit? This is family time. I could be eating dinner and suddenly it's turned into a therepy session to see if the town's basket case isn't going down under because mommy and daddy got a divorce when she was in third grade, mommy didn't want her, mommy left Westworth leaving her precious, little bumble bee behind with daddy. The doctor in town. A psychiatrist practicing out of his home office, who actively tried to repair people's lives, especially his daughter's. Dr. Peter Watts, now retired, but still offers his services if the locals need more than a guidance counselor's opinion on their life situations. Yes. I believe in magic. The tooth fairy. Sasquatch. The Loch Ness Monster. Name it, I'll believe it because why not? Who cares if there is only fictional stories about Cthulhu? There's mysteries around us, everywhere, and if you take the time to open your mind to the possibilities, you become infinity. I'm not this basket case everyone thinks I am... am I? I smile everyday, I am open to the world around me, I want to hear people's stories, and tell people stories. Years from now I want to tell my children and my children's children my life like Edward Bloom from Big Fish. I can assure you I know the difference between fantasy and reality, but making reality seem far more fantastical than people perceive it to be... is a beautiful thing to me. I love storytelling. I love people. I love dreams. Is it so wrong that I want others to see life through my lens? An awfully great adventure. I don't think so.[/i] [b]Uh, yeah, sure. I'll try. I'm going to... get going now. Need to help Mrs. Delaney with her garden. You know, my job? Kay. Love you! Bye.[/b][/color] [/color] [/color][/indent] [hr][hr][center][img]http://i.imgur.com/2Z2vaw8.gif[/img][/center][hr][hr][center][img]http://txt-dynamic.static.1001fonts.net/txt/dHRmLjY2LmJiNWFkMy5RV05oWkdWdGFXTnouMAAAAAAA/fountain-avenue.regular.png[/img] [img]http://68.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m8zedxrJ6S1rv26b3.gif[/img][/center] [color=BA55D3][color=1e8910]║[/color] Extra Curricular Activities & Sports [color=1e8910]║[/color][/color] [indent][color=f4bbff][color=BA55D3]▷[/color] Drama/Theatre Club [color=BA55D3]▷[/color] Cheerleading [color=f4bbff][color=BA55D3]▷[/color] Wants to start a Westworth Literary Magazine[/color][/color][/indent] [color=BA55D3][color=1e8910]║[/color] Reputation [color=1e8910]║[/color][/color] [indent][color=f4bbff]Because of her father, everyone thinks she's a basket case - it's been something established since her mother left when she was a third grader.
