While she doesn't have a photographic memory, she has no trouble memorizing the lines of a performance she's cast in and can memorize her lines after one to two readthroughs yet she can't seem to remember anything learned in class even as she takes notes...when she does take notes. Freddie is also conversationally fluent in Spanish. Learning a foreign language was an act of defiance since her parents said she had no reason to learn to speak the languages of the uncivilized and Freddie thought that was reprehensible. [/i][/color][/sub] [center][color=ece4d5]gift[/color][/center][sub][sub]♦[/sub] [color=B8C5B3][i]Well suited to her passion, Freddie has the gift of vocal mimicry - or specifically vocal [i]accent[/i] mimicry. While lacking those that require a language she doesn't speak, Freddie can replicate regional accents like southern American, midwestern, cajun, various European accents, and even cockney. It widens her potential in acting while also being a fun party trick. When she does her accents, it's never in a mocking tone, she fully immerses herself into the role - such as it is.

Apart from wearing more typically masculine clothes up to and including the academy uniform, her hair is cut short with the uneven clips that suggest a mirror and scissors is her preferred stylist, and on days when she's wearing shorts and her loose fitting, figure-hiding clothes it's not uncommon to see nicks, scrapes, and dirt on the knees. Her voice has a rough husk to it that completes the checkbox of tomboy attributes and adds to the 'handsome girl' appeal that is present in Freddie's being. Despite her age, Freddie has a certain cool maturity about her that gives her the illusion of being an upperclassman, though that is often betrayed by the moments where her sillier side slips through, such as when she's willing to go to self deprecating physical comedy to get a laugh out of someone - because in Freddie's mind the best way to cheer someone up (in most, not all, cases) is to make them laugh, or the way her voice reaches high pitches when watching horror movies. Freddie can't claim to be a top student academically but she's someone who would much rather go hang out with some ducks by a pond than study or do homework and she's only managed to complete many assignments by using her own unique brand of appeal to borrow notes. There's always someone who enjoys a handsome, free spirited tomboy and hearing Freddie earnestly thank them for helping has been a terrific boon. The Freddie that walks around the academy on a daily basis is almost a completely different person than the Freddie who steps on stage. n stage, when Freddie is acting in whatever role she is cast, has a commanding sort of presence and theater is one of the few things she clearly takes seriously. She has an uncanny ability to be cast in roles that are written for males and that's never stopped her from putting her all into every performance. If only she could channel that passion into he coursework, she'd be a tremendous threat.

There was just something about the name 'Frederica' that seemed...off to her, but it was the name she was given so she made the best of it. In retrospect, her issues with her name should've been a warning that she and her family were like oil and water. Freddie doesn't hate her parents or siblings, but the only thing she has in common with them is the family name. For people who are in the know, the Tewksbury name is a bit of a known quantity. The Tewksbury name is spoken of in high society as a very 'old money' sort of family. Freddie wasn't just born with a silver spoon, the silver spoon was what she dunked into the cereal bowl every morning. The youngest child of the current line of Tewksbury, Freddie had certain obligations she was expected to follow. All the daughters of Martin and Abigail Tewksbury were expected to be proper ladies of high society. Debutante balls, proper posture, speaking like someone who thought it was still the era where women did little other than marry at thirteen and die at twenty eight. Her sisters took to it. Her mother was a natural at it. Freddie could not stand it. Freddie was immediately the black sheep, spending holiday dinners or even regular dinners contributing only the sound of her fork scraping the plate as she speared some peas into the conversations. Rather than attending proper lady lessons, Freddie hung out at a youth center - which of course was seen as unbecoming given that there were [i]poor[/i] people's children there, but Freddie loved running around kicking a ball and playing tag and coming home with skinned knees even if it got her a mouthful from her mother as their housekeeper helped Freddie clean her scrapes. It was through the youth center that Freddie fell in love with acting. The youths put on a performance of Treasure Island and Freddie got cast as Jim Hawkins. Her parents didn't show up. Her siblings didn't either. But she didn't care. When the other parents applauded - even though it was hardly Broadway - Freddie felt...amazing. Her family life isn't any better but a place like Wellington at least has the appearance of some higher institute of learning but really Freddie likes it because she doesn't have to feel like an outcast. At Wellington, no one looks down on her for being unladylike. At Wellington, it's like she's living at the youth center for months at a time. And no one is making her wear dresses or yells at her for sitting backwards in chairs. Well...outside of the classroom anyway.[/color] [indent][img]https://i.imgur.com/6fdDTQ1.jpg[/img][/indent][/indent] [color=b05e4f][color=75988c]•[/color]cottage[/color] [indent][color=82a17d]-[/color][/indent] [color=b05e4f][color=75988c]•[/color]what did you pack?[/color] [indent][color=82a17d]Clothes.
