As a child, while most little girls her age were more concerned with braiding the hair of their Barbie dolls or playing in their mothers' makeup kits, Mariah decided that she'd much rather spend her time roughhousing or running around outside with the neighborhood boys. I guess one could say that Mariah was your textbook tomboy; unlike those girls, she didn't really mind getting down and dirty, hated wearing skirts and dresses, and didn't find the members of One Direction anywhere near as attractive as she probably should have. This even continued throughout middle and high school; while Mariah's female "friends" were busy hanging around malls and scoping out cute boys, Mariah was at practice. Basketball, track & field, softball, field hockey... any sport you can think of, Mariah has probably played it at one point in her life or plans on doing so down the line.

Ice Hockey. That was the sport that captured Mariah Donald's attention from a very young age. Looking back, Mariah thinks that it was probably inevitable thanks to her father and his history in the NHL. Aaron Donald encouraged all of his children to give the sport a try, but it was [i]Mariah[/i] who ended up playing throughout her entire upbringing. Through this brutal sport, Mariah could channel all of her aggression and violent tendencies, and turn it into something positive. It was this sport that greatly boosted her self-esteem; by the time her high school team won their second championship game, Mariah couldn't care less about how different she was from her other girlfriends. She was finally at that point where she was (almost) completely confident in who she was. She became this sort of free spirit.

Now, don't get me wrong, Mariah's entire life certainly did not revolve around sports. In fact, the young woman has a multitude of of interests and hobbies, another main one being drawing. During those dreary, rainy days where she couldn't go play outside, Mariah was more than likely to be found sitting in her bedroom, sketching little caricatures and comics featuring the people around her neighborhood. Mariah is a creative who has a very active imagination, something that comes in handy when she's creating these works of art. When it came to school, however, Mariah was nothing more than an average student, graduating high school with a 3.5 grade point average and being accepted into most of the colleges that she'd applied to. She'd even been offered a few hockey scholarships, but ended up turning them all down; she decided to spend a couple of years attending a community college before leaving her family for university.


[h2][color=#916155]...𝙰 𝚂𝚎𝚕𝚏-𝙳𝚘𝚞𝚋𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝙾𝚟𝚎𝚛-𝚃𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚔𝚎𝚛[/color][/h2]Growing up in the Donald household was fairly easy for Mariah; she had incredibly supportive parents, brilliant (and slightly annoying) siblings, and the resources to become whoever it is that she wants to be. When ten year old Mariah decided that she wanted to follow in both her father and brother's footsteps and play hockey, the entire family was incredibly supportive; her father taught her most of what she knows, her brother helped her practice on the ice, and someone was always there to cheer her on from the stands. When sixteen year old Mariah expressed to her parents that she wanted to ask a [i]girl[/i] to the homecoming dance, to say that they were shocked would be an understatement. Nonetheless, the family supported the eldest Donald daughter, even helping her pick out a pretty corsage to give to this mystery girl. Yeah, Mariah has a pretty solid, loving relationship with each of her family members, and wouldn't trade them for anything in the world.

The family was even supportive when Mariah announced that she wanted to spend two years in community college before leaving for a four-year university. What they didn't know, however, was her real reasoning behind doing so. [color=#916155]"I just think it will be the smartest option,"[/color] Mariah had told them, [color=#916155]"in terms of saving money and whatnot."[/color] This, of course, was partially true. I mean, the couple already had a son in college; why not help them keep a little bit of money in their pockets? What they didn't know, however, was that Mariah had no idea who she wanted to be or what she wants to do in the future. Thanks to her latent tendency to constantly doubt herself and her abilities, Mariah isn't so sure that she'll succeed if she decides to pursue a career in the art field. She also doesn't believe that she's even good enough to play professional hockey like her father once did. Hidden underneath a thin layer of confidence lays a whole lot of fear of what the future will bring.

[center][h3]𝙻𝚘𝚛𝚒 𝙳𝚘𝚗𝚊𝚕𝚍 • 𝙼𝚘𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛[/h3][i]"I think it's pretty obvious that my mom and I don't have much in common, but I still love her dearly. I mean, we talk a lot, even it it isn't as often as I speak with my dad. And since I am her first born daughter, there is a certain bond between us that will never be broken. I'm thankful for everything that she does for me and my siblings."[/i][/center]
[center][h3]𝙰𝚊𝚛𝚘𝚗 𝙳𝚘𝚗𝚊𝚕𝚍 • 𝙵𝚊𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛[/h3][i]"To say that my dad and I have a lot in common would be the understatement of the century. I'm a daddy's girl to the very core; I mean, not only am I a spitting image of the guy, but we also have a few of the same personality traits. You'd think that because of the similarities we'd clash or get into a lot of arguments, but that certainly isn't the case. I love that man more than anything in the world."[/i][/center]
[center][h3]𝙳𝚊𝚗𝚎 𝙳𝚘𝚗𝚊𝚕𝚍 • 𝚂𝚒𝚋𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚐[/h3][i]"My brother Dane and I have a... complicated relationship. We're not as close as we are to Julia or Jessie; we don't get along that well when we're not on the ice. Don't get me wrong though, I do love him. I'm just as protective over him as I am of Jessie and Julia. I just wish he would stop smoking... it's disgusting."[/i][/center]
[center][h3]𝙹𝚎𝚜𝚜𝚕𝚢𝚗 𝙳𝚘𝚗𝚊𝚕𝚍 • 𝚂𝚒𝚋𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚐[/h3][i]"Jessie is... well, he's Jessie. He's the sweetest, most kind-hearted guy you'll ever meet, but he's also very naive. I can't help but feel like I need to protect him, especially since we went to the same school for a couple of years and I was almost always there to witness the bullying and teasing... Anyone that has laid a hand on my baby brother has had to answer to [b]me[/b]."[/i][/center]
[center][h3]𝙹𝚞𝚕𝚒𝚊 𝙳𝚘𝚗𝚊𝚕𝚍 • 𝚂𝚒𝚋𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚐[/h3][i]"Julia... where do I start? I was super excited when I first found out that I was going to get a little sister, and even more excited when she was finally born. Watching her grow up and develop has been pretty neat; although she's a big scaredy cat and an occasional pain in my ass thanks to her teasing, I still love her to pieces. I hope one day I can convince her to finally pick up a hockey stick and get out on the ice."[/i][/center]
