What's good...?][img]https://i.ibb.co/q7sHRHx/Sarah-Belle.jpg[/img][/hider] 6'0" | 170lbs | Blue eyes | Brown hair | Tan skin | Athletic Build.[/center] Not only does her height make her stand out in the crowd, but so does her hairstyle. Ricki likes to shave the sides of her head and keep the rest of it messy or styled up with mousse. She frosts the tips and colours them, but for this summer she decided to keep them blonde. Most will notice the prominent scar on her left eyebrow. Makeupwise, she normally just does her eyes, but when modelling for the Oregon Boardroom, she does not mind getting all dolled up. The girl is an athlete and looking to be a pro beach volleyball player so she wears all the right trendy sporty clothes with all the right brands when out. She doesn't mind, especially with the amazing shoes that come for free sometimes too. But at home, it's just barefeet, loose tops and boxers. She has a few arm tattoos and one on the back of her neck done by her cousin in Canada. Ears, tongue, navel and hood pierced. [hr] [color=#4db3db][u][b]Personality[/b][/u]:[/color] [i]~Confident and Friendly[/i] - she has always been undeterred by negativity, but learning to be friendly with most of her peers took several years in the making. [i]~Physical and Active[/i] - a lot of what she is about has to do with physical activities and even though she does not like to go to parties, she will try to organize sport events, workouts, camping trips, or just hikes and walks with those whom she likes. [i]~Hardworking and lots of Heart[/i] - she is a go-getter and gives 100% in what she does and will try to overcome even as an underdog. [i]~Anger Issues and Holds Grudges[/i] - ever see her work out till she near passes out, swims out to the bluffs till she nearly drowns, or spikes volleyballs until her limbs are swollen? It's because she cannot move beyond from the past and the scars still give her fits of anger. She has not even forgiven those who tormented her when she first came to town. [i]~Not so Book Smart[/i] - remember how she's known to be Hardworking... now if only she applied that to her study habits... [i]~Impatient and Perfectionist[/i] - she gets frustrated easily if things take too long to complete and will abandon a line up rather than wait. Also she knows how good she is athletically, however, she gets frustrated at losing, especially if it is her fault. [hr] [color=#4db3db][u][b]Background[/b][/u]:[/color] Ricki's lineage is part Euro-Canadian from her mom, [i][b]Bella[/b][/i], and part Latin-American from her dad, [b][i]Vincent[/i][/b]. She, however, lives now only with her mom and grandmother (dad's side), [i][b]Cora[/b][/i], in the house she was born in. Ricki and her mom emigrated back from Canada to Oregon, strangely enough, to get away from a life of crime. Her dad got into a bad way with some of his gangbanger cousins and was put in jail. The rival gang threatened his wife and kid and so they fled back to their town of Newport when Ricki was only 14. Back then, she did go by Sarah-Bella, but that ended quick. Coming out of the closet openly to these strangers was the worst thing that the young teen could have done. And soon enough, they had pegged her as a target of ridicule and ostracizing. They soon called her [i]The Lesbian Miss Sarah-Bella[/i]...! which creatively became: [b][i]Lez Miserable[/i][/b]. And so during the summer, she and her mom decided to just call her by her pet middle name: [i]Ricki[/i]. To cope with such strife, Ricki found calm by herself out there in the coastal water. The teen always had a love for the outdoors and so, and by this time she was already a strong swimmer. But here on the Oregon coast, she had discovered surfing. But once more she was picked on for how she was. She refused to shave her lanky form of bodily hair while out swimming or surfing. And so she was now renamed: [b][i]Chewy[/i][/b]. As in the tall hairy Wookie from Star Wars. Now these ridiculing names tormented her yet she fought on, but luckily it was just name calling. That was due to the fact that she became friends with her peer tutor, brainy and geeky Laura Brakowski, little sister of hulking football star, Jonas Brakowski, aka "[i]Breaker[/i]." Yes, the Breaker did call her names too, but anytime someone physically bullied Ricki, that would make Laura cry and Breaker would make them stop making his little sister cry and show them why he was called 'Breaker.' The tutoring stopped as soon as Ricki was hired by the surf shop, Oregon Boardroom, but the girls still remained friends. Yet soon enough, Ricki fell for Laura, and so too did Laura fall for Ricki. But of course, they had to hide this 'other relationship' from their parents and everyone else. But then during that summer Ricki discovered for the first time her other 'first love.' Beach volleyball. She was a natural. But once she tried to enter into a tournament, for whatever reason, she kept on getting turned away. Finally she broke down in tears and gave up. Yet Laura knew the exact reason. And so for her 16th birthday, she bought her girlfriend some fancy new clothes and a make over. Within the next few days she was in an under-18 tournament. And needless to say, she absolutely slayed in her debut. Although she and her partners did not win the tournament, she did, however, turn several heads and was offered another job at Oregon Boardroom where she already worked. She said that she already worked there. They said no, not as a stock girl for the company, but as model for their house brand of surfwear. And so of course, the cliche [i]'Pretty-ugly Girl Feel Good Story' [/i]came to a close once she went back to school with her new look and the horrible name calling ceased. Except for the fact that the guys had a name for her behind her back: 'Legs.' Something she could live without ever knowing. A couple of years later, Ricki found herself still attached to the hip with her first love Laura and bursting with elation and excitement. She had just received notification that she had been granted an athletic scholarship to Oregon State University! The tall athlete was on the cusp of graduating and soon to be out there, rising up in the big, wide, wondrous world. But she was never meant to see that world. Ricki and Laura were crossing the street on a bright and clear, early Sunday morning. The girls were holding hands, laughing capriciously and leaning their heads together. Laura's phone fell from her back pocket. Ricki released Laura's hand and paused to reach back and grab it. The driver that ran the red light was asleep at the wheel. And their blood alcohol was four times over the legal limit. Ricki choked on her own blood and died on the way to the hospital.
