Sometimes she stays a brunette, sometimes she goes full blonde. Her skin maintains a healthy glow, while her brown eyes confirm her connection to the Earth. She is limber, as years of working the farms have given her a fairly athletic body. However, she's not a fan of keeping it covered up. It's not her forte. She prefers wearing minimalist clothes, such as jean shorts and tank tops, although she will dress up should the weather or situation call for it. She keeps things less flashy, with no need for gaudy jewelry or flashy tattoos. She's just a humble kind of girl.[/INDENT] [color=f535aa][b]Personality[/b][/color] [INDENT]Crystal is a very abrupt person. She doesn't have a lot of time to deal with a lot of people's bullshit. She got enough of that at home prior to her ascension in the business world. As such, she's often very curt and will quickly stop someone if they are going on too long. She's a person who values hard work, grit and determination above all else, and she has yet to find someone who can match her resolve to make something of herself in a world that seemed destined to weigh her down. And yet that's the problem. She hasn't found that person. Inside she longs to find someone she can share an actual connection with. Not just love. Love is free. Love is cheap. That kind of love doesn't satisfy Crystal, and she has tried to find that satisfaction. No, she wants someone she can actually talk for hours with, someone who will walk the fields and taste the fresh veggies and fruit with her, someone who wants exactly what she wants. Sure, physically, that hasn't been a problem, but that emotional bond has been hard to forge.[/INDENT][/indent] [color=f535aa][sub]𝐈 𝐍 𝐌 𝐘 𝐏 𝐀 𝐒 𝐓[/sub][/color][hr] [indent][color=f535aa][b]Biography[/b] [/color] [INDENT] Crystal was born April 22, 199x in Albany, New York, to Sapphire Divine and Moon River Powers. No, those weren't her parents' birth names. They changed them in 1979 from Susan Lynn Van Slyke and Kevin Allen McLean when they got married. Instead, Crystal got to bear the full brunt of her parents' whims. For despite the relative lateness to the flower child movement of the 60s, they both quickly rejected the growth of disco to stay true to the roots of love throughout the decade. After trying to fruitlessly bring their own little sky soldier into the world for over a decade, the couple had tried everything. However, when Sapphire became pregnant at age 44, Moon was convinced that it was due to the healing crystals he purchased from a traveling shaman he met while at a flea market in Utica, so the baby was bequeathed that name because naming a girl Lawrence after the shaman would have been silly, right? Crystal was raised on the massive farm that the Powers had built up in Gilboa, New York known as Biostarship Farms, so-called because of the Powers' belief in Earth as a massive spaceship carrying humanity. Moon swore he saw it in a dream one time. Given the massive inheritance that Sapphire received from her parents after an untimely plane crash, they were able to secure vast amounts of acreage that Moon began planting crops on. Moon's parents, the McLeans, would make visits to the farm to make sure their granddaughter was being spoiled rotten as much as they could allow, but Sapphire and Moon demanded a low-impact lifestyle. Everything was recycled from clothing to farm equipment. It also meant Crystal led a life of subsistence throughout grade school. She was "that hippie kid" in the Gilboa system. The only times she felt like she was worth more than the dirt were those rare trips when her Grammie and Granpie visited. Crystal did well enough in school to earn a partial scholarship to a few local universities. Her parents didn't want her to go, but her grandparents insisted she get the education needed to run the farm once her parents became too old to do so. She jumped at the opportunity and attended SUNY-Farmingdale, on Long Island. There, she finally got the chance to shed a lot of the Pigpen-like accouterments that marked her time in Gilboa. She bought new clothes, new stuff, a laptop, and she got to work learning the ins and outs of everything Farmingdale had to offer from Agricultural Engineering to Solar Energy. Eventually, she settled on Business. Strategizing on just what could be done with the plentiful apple orchards, vineyards, fields, and other fruits of the earth she had access to, Crystal began to formulate her plans with what could be done with Biostarship Farms. She just didn't know she would get the opportunity way too quickly. In 2014, Sapphire was diagnosed with lung cancer and refused Western medicine, instead choosing to rely on herbs to heal. They didn't work. She died in January 2015. Moon was distraught and after a night on various drugs, went out to the large pond on the property for a midnight dip to try and clear his head. He did not return, with his body found the next day. Crystal had now inherited everything at the age of 25. Fresh out of university, she struggled to think of what she would need to do on her own at first, but a pow-wow with her grandparents and the research she obtained while living on Long Island quickly pointed her in the right direction. Crystal had taken many trips along the rails into New York City and she could see the trends beginning to rise in the organic industries. Especially in the cold-pressed juice surge. With ready access to many fruits and vegetables, Crystal invested in an industrial juicer and set it up in one of the bars near the house. Carting her wares to NYC in a converted horse trailer at first, her company flourished, taking over New York with its unique blends, sustainable practices, and trippy name. The little rocket ship on the logo was a nice touch. For as much as Crystal did dislike her parents, it was their farm that was giving her this chance to build something they may have thought was a nightmare, but instead would be her ticket out of that farming life for good. Within two years, production expanded to multiple factories in the Mohawk Valley, shipping her juices across the Northeast. More farmers started selling directly to Crystal and Biostarship Beverages became one of the hottest brands in the country. Eventually, the big companies came sniffing around, and Crystal sold her business to Coca-Cola in an $800m deal that retained her as the CEO. She let the small farmhouse that she lived in go by the wayside and quickly overcompensated, moving into a [url=https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/210-Wilson-Park-Dr-Tarrytown-NY-10591/120731426_zpid/]$2M home in Tarrytown[/url]. Now with a mansion at her disposal and no need to truly work again, Crystal has seemingly set herself up for success. So why does she still feel empty? She's hoping maybe this cruise can provide some answers. Or at least a cheap laugh or two.[/INDENT] [/indent] [color=f535aa][sub]𝐌 𝐈 𝐒 𝐂 𝐄 𝐋 𝐋 𝐀 𝐍 𝐄 𝐎 𝐔 𝐒[/sub][/color][hr][indent] [color=f535aa][b]Other[/b][/color] [INDENT]FC: Michelle Mylett // [color=f535aa]f535aa[/color] [list][*]Has adopted three dogs since moving to Tarrytown, a German Shepherd named Stormy, an Australian Shepherd named Dundee, and a border collie named Duke.
