【 Biography 】
Sienna was born to Michael and Lilian Mackinly, she was their second child. As the first daughter she was spoiled and happy, by the age of 4 Sienna had two younger siblings. Unfortunately things wouldn't be all sunshine and rainbows for Sienna. Around 5 her parents divorced and her mother pretty much abandoned them, leaving them in the care of their father. Things weren't so bad, that is until her father began to seek out women to marry so he wouldn't have to raise his four children alone. The first women was Karen, she was actually the mother of her eldest brother and had another older son and daughter with a different man. The older brother was abusive, sexually and mentally. He would force young Sienna to so things she didn't want to, and then force her half-brother to do things against his will to Sienna. She took it like a champ so as not to worry her own siblings.
The older daughter would throw things and threaten Sienna and her siblings, but most of it was directed at Sienna herself. She was the one that did all the chores and even had to take care of her siblings sometimes. The marriage didn't last but her father didn't stay single for long. The next women wasn't terrible, just strict. However one day when Sienna came home she found all of her step-mothers things cleared out. She was left alone at 12 with two younger children and couldn't get a hold of her father. Sienna was alone with her crying and confused siblings for two hours before her father finally called the house. That marriage didn't last long either.
The last woman was probably the worst. She was an ugly women with a terrible personality and her two children were just like her. They only wanted her father for the money he made and Sienna could see that. Her children were treated much better than Sienna and her siblings, even Sienna's friends could see that. Sienna was constantly dragged to do everything and if it wasn't done perfectly than she would get severe groundings. At age 19 Sienna finally had enough and began to rebel - sneaking out, smoking and failing her classes. The mother hated this and someone convinced her father to kick her out. At 19 she was homeless and had nothing. Luckily her best friend came through and her mother let her live at their place on their couch. They helped her find her first apartment and Sienna eventually got a stable job. But the damage was done and slowly Sienna began to lose herself. She was on the verge of a mental breakdown when she saw the ad for Spring Hill. She's hoping that the decision to go isn't the worst one of her life.

On more than one occasion he's gotten into fights - losing because he really isn't a large boy and it honestly bad at fighting.

Because Atsuko has been at the rehab center for quite a bit the medicine he takes has taken quite the toll on him. He has begun to experience blood thinning, even a small cut will somehow bleed much more than it should. He has also begun to have extremely high and dangerous fevers out of nowhere.

【 Biography 】
Atsuko was born in Tokyo Japan, however his family moved to America when he was just a baby. Being the oldest of three a lot of responsibility with thrust upon him at a young age. If he wasn't the best or if it seemed he didn't try in anything then he would get punished, this caused Atsuko to grow paranoid and anxious. He felt like if he didn't study all the time or if he missed out on any tutoring opportunity then his grades would suffer. The punishment's he endured seemed innocent enough on the outside but for Atsuko they were taken to the extreme. Getting a B instead of an A meant being locked in his room after school for a week. His homework was consistently checked and he was forced to do study guides and exam prep worked made up by his father.
Once Atsuko got into high school it was clear that he had issues with keeping up with others. He just couldn't comprehend certain things and if something frustrated him he would get intensely angry. He had very specific things he liked and if they were taken away he would feel like he was being threatened. His parents didn't understand this and would take the things he enjoyed which only made him act out even more. Soon his angry fits caused him to start fighting. Atsuko was a small and lanky guy so he lost most of his fights - this caused him to turn to bullying the small nerds.
Atsuko barely graduated from High school and was rejected from the one college he applied to. His parents had pretty much given up on him. Atsuko spent most of his time playing video games in his bedroom. He would get angry and upset if he was given any chores. His parents soon just left him alone - they were defeated. Atsuko soon found a group of people he liked online and they asked him what he wanted to do with his life. This was when Atsuko realized he didn't know what he wanted out of life. He knew he couldn't play games forever. This scared him so much that he decided to get help. That's when his parents pushed him into going to Spring Hill.
【 Trivia 】
→ Atsuko's favorite color is baby blue
→ Because of his stressful lifestyle he has grown accustomed to being criticized and always wrong, therefore he actually fears letting people down.
→ Theme song; Coming soon

[YOU KNOW I, I'M AFRAID OF CHANGE. GUESS THAT'S WHY WE STAY THE SAME.]
【 Name 】
Evangeline Marie Guiliani.
【 Age 】
Twenty Two.
【 Birth Date 】
June Tenth.
【 Perceived Gender 】
Female.
【 Sexuality 】
Heterosexual.
【 Appearance 】
Evangeline is petite, standing at a mere five foot two and weighing less than one hundred and five pounds on a good day. Her legs are slightly bowed. Eva prefers to wear clothing that are a bit smaller than the size she should be wearing because it comforts her to feel the fabric squeeze against her. She likes to paint her nails, braid her hair, and wear earrings when they are given the approval by staff.
【 Why are you at Spring Hill 】
Ultimately the unexpected death of her mother, but this event caused her extreme Agoraphobia.
【 Residency 】
Eva has been a resident for a little over five months.
【 Negative Effects 】
Though the medicines provided have apparently helped Eva overcome some of her guided tasks such as going outside for extended periods of time; the young woman has noticed she has been having spouts of insomnia due to the fact that her skin feels like there is something slithering underneath. They tell her it's just getting readjusted to the sun. Brittle nails, and mild hair loss. All just side effects.
【 Positive Effects 】
Have you ever noticed that the number of ceiling tiles in the women's bathroom on the first floor do not match the tiles on the second floor? Have you noticed that Heather takes exactly thirty two steps to get from the front desk to the back door? When you're awake for a long time you remember these things, or so what Eva tells herself. It seems that she even finds these things when she sleeps, recalling numbers. Everything has so many numbers. What does the number twelve mean?
【 Personality 】
Never quick to lose her temper, raise her voice or throw her fists. She is often caught staring whilst over thinking things in her head. This could very well be one of the reasons she is in the position she is in, and trust me she's thought about that as well. It doesn't take much to make her cry as she is a bit on the sensitive side. She does not get bored easily due to the many nights awake and inside, she has found ways to entertain herself quite quickly. Tends to be overly curious, though doesn't always act on these curiosities due to be fairly meek and easy to manipulate.
【 Biography 】
"If a tree falls in the forest does it make a sound my love?" Evangelines mother asked her daughter as she sat upon her cushioned lap. Eva's eyebrows furrowed upon her forehead as she thought. The young girl was six years old at the time, and her mother often gave her these questions to make her think critically. "Are there squirrels inside?" Eva responded, as her mother let out a loud boisterous laugh, "Perhaps my love, perhaps."
Perhaps was a word deeply implanted upon the tongue of Eva, the word was used in all situations, Did you have a good time at school today? Perhaps. Do you want ice cream for dessert? Perhaps. Did the murder of your mother change you?
Perhaps.
Eva was Twenty One at the time of the occurrence. The two were living together happily in a small apartment on the not so great part of town. Her mother had raised her wonderfully despite being alone. Her father after all was a non-existent part in both of their lives from birth and everyday hence forth. "I'm going to go grab the mail baby, I'll be right back." her mother called from the small kitchenette as the young girl worked on her community college issued homework from the one bedroom the two shared. "Alright!" she called without another thought. Suddenly a large thud and a barrage of blood curdling screams echoed in the hallway. The scream was jolting and familiar to Evangeline, the scream belonged to her mother.
Not even stopping to lock the door behind her Eva sprinted down the flight of stairs, tripping over her own feet she only imagined the worst had come. There her mother laid in a puddle of her own thick blood, a gun shot to the head. The cause unknown at the time, but often thought and rethought over in the thoughts of her one and only daughter. Evangeline broke down into a mental state of mind and committed an action that no one could really explain.
She grabbed her small mother under her armpits and hoisted her up the flights of stairs, her head hitting every step until she was brought her back into their apartment. Sitting her up on the couch the young woman climbed onto her mother's lap, her clothing seeping up crimson life that once filled her mother. She did the only thing she could do, she sobbed uncontrollably.
It wasn't long before the police came, did their business and brought Evangeline back home a couple days after investigation. She had been at the wrong place at the wrong time was all. Eva urged the police that she would be just fine, and that she would give them a call if she wasn't. Reluctantly they left, and of course received no phone call there after. Evangeline would and could not leave the four walls of the apartment after that. Friends came and went, only getting broken promises or empty excuses. It wasn't until the year's rent was overdue that the higher authorities were involved once again.
How can anyone force a bird out of a cage when the bird has removed its own wings?
Spring Hill was not ideal in the first, second or third week, but after getting some help with things Eva found herself feeling a bit more at home there than her apartment. Eva gets along with most of the residents and tries to be encouraging in group sessions. Staff seems to feel like she has improved greatly from when she first arrived.

Olivia's hair color is one of the few things she has been able to keep ever since she was admitted into Spring Hills, so she does what she can to take care of it and retouch it when she can. She usually wears something comfortable, which include shorts, leggings, and lost of sweaters. There is a small scar that starts on the side of her neck that leads to the middle, but it is very faint.
| W H Y A R E Y O U H E R E |
Olivia was diagnosed with schizophrenia at the age of 13 when she started to hear voices and see people no one else could. The meds and therapy her mother worked so hard to afford were only helping so much. After years of misery, Olivia found out about Spring Hills and admitted herself in to relieve her mother of Olivia and her burden.
| R E S I D E N C Y |
6 months.
| N E G A T I V E |
Olivia has always seen hallucinations since she was a child, but the voices she often heard were only gibberish. No real words. That was until she came to Spring Hills. She can't sleep with all the sound around her that she can't blur out or mute. It makes Olivia jittery and jumpy around people. Sometimes the voices are so loud she has to overpower them with other sounds.
| P O S I T I V E |
DEATH WHISPER - Olivia is able to connect to the supernatural, which gives her the capability to hear the voices of people who were murdered or previously died. They can gain advice and sense when a person is close to death.
Olivia can talk to the dead, although she doesn't know this yet. Since she has schizophrenia she assumes that these voices she hears are only hallucinations. Assumes that they are not real. While some of the things she sees are not real, the voices are of the dead around her that she can sense. Sometimes they beg for her to listen. Sometimes they demand and scream and scare her. She thinks it's all fake and just wants it to stop.
| P E R S O N A L I T Y |
Kind | Quiet | Evasive | Suspicious | Impatient | Shy | Absent Minded
Olivia is often seen alone. She doesn't talk to anyone, and if she has to, she often avoids eye contact. Her eyes move a lot as she is trying to ignore the hallucinations that plague her and she doesn't like to talk about them either. While Olivia is shy and won't start a conversation unless she needs to, she is kind to those who manage to get to know her the slightest bit. Olivia's speech is sometimes slurred when the hullucinations or the voices are empowering over her mind. It's one of the few cues she gives to signal other that everything around her is crazy at the moment.
| B I O G R A P H Y |
Olivia had a pretty nice childhood. Being the only daughter for her first ten years of her life, she was pretty spoiled. She had friends, real and not. It was at twelve when she realized that her imaginary friends started to say weird things to her. They no longer wanted to play. They were no longer her friends. Olivia thought she was crazy. That someone or something had cursed her.
Olivia told her mom just a year later when her baby brother was only three years old. With no father in the picture, Oliva's mom was forced to work double jobs in order to pay for Olivia's meds and therapy and childcare for the baby. All the while, Olivia struggled in school and tried to keep her hallucinations a secret; afraid that the other kids would call her names and leave her alone. She didn't want that. She didn't want to be alone with nothing but her own mind that was out to get her.
On her 18th Birthday, Olivia tried to take her own life. Of course, she failed, and her mother's worries rose while Olivia's guilt worsen. Just a year later Olivia saw a pamphlet for Spring Hills. Without hesitation, she signed herself up without telling her mother. It took Olivia five months to finally contact her mother and tell her of her whereabouts. Her mother was relieved to see her in a place where she was being treated and showed her support for Olivia.
Maybe things wouldn't be so bad. Now if only the meds and therapy in Spring Hills would work she could maybe go back home without feeling the gult of being alive.
| T R I V I A |
- Olivia enjoys colorful things. Which is why she tends to dye her hair when she is allowed to.
- Olivia has a creative side. She has a few sketchbooks and tried to sketching them when she can. She's not very good, but she tries to improve her art. When her hallucinations are bad, she sketches out the things she sees and rips the papers in little pieces to soothe her.

Jules stands at six foot three inches with a slender, almost malnourished look. He is often seen wearing some dark jeans and a t-shirt or sweaters. His hair has gotten long since he hasn't gotten a single hair cut in the past year, but he seems to like the length of it for now. He usually lets it sit on his shoulders or ties it up in a ponytail while he works out. Jules sports a tattoo on his shoulder of a snake in an infinity symbol while eating its own tail. No matter where he is or what time it is, Jules is always wearing sunglasses.

Jules admitted himself into Spring Hills as a way out of the streets and an escape from drugs.

The color blue is all around him. The cables inside the walls glow blue and the TVs in the common rooms to the. Everything inside the building glows a bright blue color that makes his headache most of the time. Besides that, ever since the first time he turned off one of the TVs, the blue lights have become stronger. He can see faint blue lines connecting certain objects together. The whole world around his is turning blue, and the sunglasses are only doing so much to help his eyes.
| P O S I T I V E |
TECHNOPATHY - is the ability to control and manipulate electronics with the mind.
Jules has been able to turn off the TVs on and off with his mind. He knows he can. He also knows that glowing blue lights he sees are from technology. From the lights on the ceilings to the watches on the staff's wrists. The lines that connect each device to each other are like strings he can pull and manipulate.
| P E R S O N A L I T Y |
Friendly | Outgoing | Loud | Obnoxious | Kind | Patient | Blunt | Nosy
Jules is a friendly fellow who tries to make friends all around with the other residents and staff members. He could be a bit overly friendly around some of the new residents, but he is only trying to make them feel like they are not alone. He was used to having so many people around him that when he came into Spring Hills, he had to make everyone his friends, which can be obnoxious to some. With that said, Jules tends to be in everyone's business and isn't afraid to offer his unwanted opinion.
| B I O G R A P H Y |
Jules was born and raised in California. His mother left him in one of the orphanages in LA when he was just a month old. Growing up, Jules was always in and out of foster care. Some of those family were nice, but it never lasted long. He was a troubled child. He acted without thinking and said things he didn't mean. He was only thirteen when he ran away from his seventh foster family and into the streets.
During his time in the streets, he joined a gang that gave him the much-needed sense of family and care. The gang members were strict and ruthless sometimes, but they gave Jules a place to stay and feel safe. They cared for him and always talked to him. Showed him that the gang was his only family. To prove his loyalty, he had been given the task of selling illegal drugs. Cops didn't bother white kids, so he was never caught while he sold.
Jules was just a year when he began to get curious about the drugs he was selling. Cocaine mostly. It only took him a few hits to get hooked on the stuff and soon he was consuming the product he was supposed to be selling. Which meant he owed money to the gang. Years went by, and he continued to sell and take from the same stash he was supposed to sell. Everyone in the gang knew this but didn't do much to punish him. A few beatings here and there when he reached in and took too much of the stash, but they continued to feed his addiction.
He was only 20 when he finally found someone who cared enough to tell him to stop. The man was five years older than him, and he has been a one time buyer, but Jules kept seeing him when he made his rounds. David, that was his name. It took Jose five months to convince Jules to run away with him. It took David even less to make Jules fall in love with him. They both ran to Oregon to start a new life together. While Jules struggled with his addiction, David did everything he could to help him. Jules often wondered why David had risked so much to save him from his shitty life. Had David gone through something similar? Jules never found out.
David was murdered just two years later during Jules' twenty-two birthday. They had baked a cake together and decorated their shabby little apartment when a few of Jules' ex-gang members showed up. They beat Jules first while David watched and begged for them to stop. They called them horrible things and stopped just before Jules passed away. Then they beat David while Jules just laid there unable to do anything. They killed David, and Jules couldn't do anything.
Jules ran away as soon as he could. He didn't even get to say goodbye to David. He was too afraid. After that, Jules spent the rest of his life on the streets. Begging and scavenging for anything to eat. He slowly made his way up North in search of something to give his life meaning again. Jules was just an empty shell of a human until he saw an ad for Spring Hills. That could be his shot or even a break from living on the streets.
Jules has been in Spring Hills for one year now, and while the first half he struggled with detoxing and learning to be himself again, it seems like his problems are starting to grow.

"If you were given a choice - would you kill yourself or bear the weight of the guilt of survival?"
【 Name 】
Maria Eris Henderson
【 Age 】
24
【 Birthdate 】
28/February
【 Perceived Gender】
Female
【 Sexuality 】
Bisexual
【 Appearance 】
For those that had been around for three months or so, they would have remembered Maria having dark brown hair. She sometimes wears violet colored contact lens, but when she isn't, her eyes are hazel brown and she has black rectangular glasses. She stands at 5'7 and 142 lbs and she has a surprisingly fit body. However, it is obvious that she's constantly tired. She's always slouching and there are bags under her eyes and her movements are usually sluggish but she has her bouts of alertness. Despite this, Maria does like to dress sharply most of the time but sometimes, they look as disheveled as she feels.
【 Why are you at Spring Hill? 】
Maria constantly battles with distressing nightmares from her childhood, so much so that it has induced severe insomnia which often leads to visual hallucinations. For a long time, Maria has been trying to cure her insomnia and her persistent nightmares. When she heard about Spring Hill from a friend who saw the ad, Maria was willing to give it a shot too.
【 Residency 】
Maria has been at Spring Hill for 11 months.
【 Negative Effects 】
"Doctor, can't you hear them? They're getting worse."
With the length of time that she has stayed within Spring Hill, her hallucinations have gotten worse, to the point where they have been staying for hours at a time. Both visual and auditory hallucinations seem to nearly be constant; most of them are harmless and simply distracting but obviously false, at their peak, Maria has been known to actually feel the physical pain from these hallucinations.
At the eight month, Maria's hair had turned white from the medicine. Maria thinks it was because of the stress.
【 Positive Effects 】
"Do you hear the people sing?"
Telepathy
The ability to hear other's thoughts and peek into their minds. It takes a considerable effort to be able to dig into someone else's mind aside from their surface thoughts which are often simply things they wish to do or say. This can be used to communicate through only their minds, allowing for secrecy.
A certain drawback of this is that there is no 'off' switch, not unless you're completely focusing on it. When not focusing, it would result in tons of surface thoughts assaulting the user at every turn and this becomes especially horrible during times where there are several groups of people around. Reading minds are also particularly taxing and there are ways to be able to tire the telepath first before they get to a certain memory, if you're brave enough to do so.
Currently, Maria hears the thoughts of those around her. However, she thinks they are merely part of her auditory hallucinations. She sometimes recognizes that some actions of her peers match her "hallucinations" but she thinks they are coincidences. She sometimes acts upon them but that's just a gut reaction at times.
【 Personality 】
| Helpful | Sensitive | Perceptive | Secretive | Unpredictable | Mistrustful | Distracted |
【 Biography 】
"Success rides on what you're willing to sacrifice and what you're willing to overlook."
Maria was not born in the best of families. Insensitive at best, negligent at worst, Maria was practically growing up alone despite having both parents - Gregory and Malinda - come back to the house every day. Thankfully, her younger brother had soon came into the world when she was seven. Maria had sworn to herself that her brother would feel the love she was deprived of. Richard was practically her own child, if anyone would ever tell you a story of their family, since she was practically the one raising him with the money their parents provide them. But why, you might wonder, are they constantly away? The Henderson family has been a big name among the corporations, having been a major stockholder in multiple successful companies as well as owning a clothing company that was opened by their great grandfather.
Basically, they were very rich and very busy. People wonder how they're even parents, really, considering their complete disregard for their children aside from giving them financial aid and the occasional question about their school life and if they're doing well in it. They do impart some knowledge to their children as they do expect them to be the ones to inherit the family name and continue the family legacy. Maria was fully willing to accept this so she and Richard did their best to impress, or at least be within sight of their parents. In any case, they lived well enough with the support of each other.
When she was thirteen, she and her brother were alone at the house throughout the night because their parents were out of town on a business meeting in another country. She had tucked her brother into bed and was sound asleep in her own room. She wasn't sure what time it had happened but she woke up to a black figure standing beside her friend before being knocked out. The next thing she knew, she was being carried by a man with a blank mask and two others with demonic masks were waiting near a car. She tried to scream and get away but she was gagged and the man was far stronger than her. She was thrown into the car with her brother and then they drove off. The siblings tried to get out but they were knocked out again.
They woke up next in a decrepit room, both of them in handcuffs. Maria only remembers segmented portions. Being fed. The men taking them to separate rooms to talk to them. Something about the company? But most that she remembered of it were those masks and their deep voices. And. That time. They killed Richard. Shot him straight through the mouth. Gave her a warning before she was knocked out and found herself back at her parents. There was a funeral. Then it was done. Her parents moved on. She moved on too. That's what everyone believed, at least. Maria had gotten worse and she started to get nightmares every night about the men. All of it became distorted and even worse.
Nevertheless, Maria has been relatively successful. She got through her life because her parents had told her too. Of course, she had picked up some medicines to be able to get through tough nights and she did try therapists but nothing seemed to work effectively. For the past few years, Maria's condition had gotten worse to the point where she's been having trouble coping with every day life as her lack of sleep has prevented her from doing anything efficiently. Her parents have stressed that she needed to get herself fixed but gave no solution. Instead, a friend of hers had suggested Spring Hill.
Eleven months into the institution and Maria has not shown any signs of getting better - only worse. She's been harboring doubts over the institution for quite some time now but has made no clear moves against them. As for with the other patients, Maria tries to be friendly and cordial towards all of them but has been known to withdraw when her hallucinations are peaking as she tends to lash out at these times.
【 Trivia 】
→ Her favorite color is violet and, to a lesser extent, blue.
→ Her worst hallucinations have been distorted and nightmarish recreations of her kidnappers (bordering demonic depictions) and a ghost-like apparition in the form of her brother. These are the ones that manage to 'harm' her.
→ Maria gets distressed whenever she sees a full mask.

【 Age 】
22
【 Birthdate 】
16 October
【 Perceived Gender】
Female
【 Sexuality 】
Heterosexual
【 Appearance 】
Sarah is very thin and below the average height. She wears black dresses mostly but on better days she can change in a vibrant blue one, her favourite dress. All her clothes hang loose around her body. Her short red hair is messy most days. You can see Sarah with her headphones around her neck or on her ears, she never puts her headphones and music player away. Her brown eyes have an empty look quite often in them but they can come alive on her better days.
【 Why are you at Spring Hill? 】
Sarah has depression after she lost her child a few weeks before she was due. Her parents took her in again to help her get over it. After a while, she suspected her parents to have a hand in the miscarriage as they never had been happy about her being pregnant. So she didn't trust them that they were helping her now. Sarah thought it was better to go to Spring Hill to try and get out of the depression.
【 Residency 】
6 months
【 Negative Effects 】
The drugs make her apathetic. When it is at its peak she is almost completely unresponsive. Her mind stays active though but she is trapped in her unresponsive body. In the hours the drug level is low enough to function properly, she is restless and constantly fidgeting
【 Positive Effects 】
Sarah thought she had very livid dreams or even lucid dreams and daydreams but over time she noticed her essence, her soul, was actually going out of her body. She is gaining the ability to do astral projection. She can roam on the astral plane and she can astral project herself anywhere she wants but is limited in a distance because of the connection with her physical body so she can't go much further than the Spring Hill grounds, on the astral plane she can go further but if she goes too far the connection with her body may sever and she would die, on the astral planes she cannot cross bodies of water. Even small streams are barriers she can't pass in her early stages. Rivers she can never pass. Also, people can't feel her astral touch and she can't make audible sounds for physical ears when she is in astral projection so she can't be felt, seen or heard unless someone with a sixth sense or telepathy is near enough. Sarah gets tired when she gets back to her body, the further she goes and the longer she stays out of her body the harder the fatigue strikes.
【 Personality 】
Sarah is sarcastic, curt, impatient and patronizing. But she also is level-headed, has a good sense of just and contemplative.
Sarah is not very social and often doesn't want to engage in chit-chat. When someone gets on her nerves or when they surprise her she gets curt and sarcastic. She has very little patience with people. If she tries to explain things her tone and attitude can be perceived as patronizing although she doesn't see it herself. Sarah is however very level headed and thinks before she speaks which, she will rarely act on emotion and usually see the bigger picture because of it and can make educated decisions. Her sense of just is very strong and she can't stand it if people are being treated unfairly by others or if people are being harmed by others.
【 Biography 】
Sarah has been borderline anorexic in her teen years, her suffocating helicopter parents didn't make her life easy. She tried very hard to please them and make good grades but she felt like she was drowning.
In her last year in highschool she met a 'bad boy' and in a rebellious act, she started seeing him. He actually helped her see how strict and overbearing her parents were and that the whole world was open for her. When she got pregnant before their first year anniversary her parents were not exactly thrilled but Sarah was adamant to keep the baby. The father of her baby did help her at first when she needed but it wasn't love anymore as their relationship hadn't been based on love but annoying their parents. When the father found his love she gave him his freedom.
Sarah's parents took over the care when she had a rough moment and Sarah's pregnancy got harder and harder to bear until she miscarried in only a few weeks before she was due. The reason that was told her by her parents was simply complications. The days went by in a blur and she tried very hard to keep the truth away. Sarah sunk in a depression that let her apathetic and lethargic mostly. For hours she stared out of the window, only listening to music.
Sarah overheard neighbours talking once, when she was sitting near an open window, about how strange it was how her pregnancy got more difficult as it progressed and how she wasn't getting out her depression now. That her parents now had her caged like they always wanted. Those gossips made Sarah think about it and she decided that those gossips might have some truth in them. In her mind she went over what had happened in the past years and became more and more distrusting about her parents. In a clear moment, she packed her bag and left to check in to the place she had read about in a magazine in the waiting room of a doctor. Spring Hill. Her doctor had seen her read about it and praised their good work.
Sarah left her parents a note, send her ex a letter and went on her way. Even though the experiences have made her wary of people and very distrustful she is willing to give the experts and staff of Spring Hill a chance. Anything better then her lying and deceiving parents right? What could go wrong in a facility that her doctor praised, he surely knew what was good for her.
In the six months she has been there she still was sitting most of the time in front of the window listening to music. Slowly she started to wander around and observe the others. Not always participating in conversations but listening and making remarks now and then, sometimes sarcastic or snappy other times friendly advice or encouragement. Now she is at the point where she is slowly finding her place and interact more with her fellow patients.

【 Biography 】
Keith had always been a happy, friendly, social boy. Even as kids he made tons of friends and always wanted to make sure everyone was happy. He hated fights and arguments so did everything he could to make sure those got resolved quickly.
One day, when he was 7, he got trapped in a cave where he was hiding hen he was playing hide and seek with friends. Trapped in that closed, dark space he lived through his worst nightmare. No one found him for a day and a half. This left him claustrofobic and nyctophobic. He stayed his sunny self when he was rescued but couldn't stand darkness or small, confined places ever since.

Female
【 Sexuality 】
Hetero-flexible
【 Appearance 】
With long blonde hair with natural, large ringlets and striking blue eyes, Gwen sees her natural self as quite beautiful. She doesn’t always get the same response from others though. Often, the first thing people look at when they see her is her leg. Gwen has a left prosthetic leg that she often does not hide. Instead of people being interested in her as a person, she gets a lot of attention and questions relating to her leg. Having been using a prosthesis since she was eight, she's gotten used to it, but she sometimes finds herself wishing that wasn't the case. Either way, even if someone got past the leg, they are often put off by the grotesque burn scars all along her left arm, the reason she more usually wears long sleeve shirts.
【 Why are you at Spring Hill? 】
Survivor's Guilt, PTSD, and extreme phobias of being trapped, tight spaces, and motor vehicles from a horrific accident when she was eight.
【Residency 】
4.5 months
【 Negative Effects 】
It started as low blood pressure. Then dizziness and lightheadness. Then, a loss of balance and fainting when standing for too long. Now, limbs have started to fall asleep if raised for too long, and when the dizziness gets too bad, there's vomiting involved. Of course, these symptoms are to be expected when your heart rate drops to a mere 40 bpm as it has for Gwen. Even exercise can't bring her heart rate up past 60 bpm, which results in her passing out when she exerts herself. If this is what it takes to get better though, it must be worth it. If the nurses praise it as a miracle drug, then it must be. For there is nothing Gwen would not give of herself to stop the guilt and fear.
【 Positive Effects 】
Gwen has a very convincing voice, but only when she's emotional. That is to say, she can make someone do something regardless of that person's will. "Shut the door." "Don't touch me." Simple commands like those that don't cause the person direct harm are carried out by the other person for up to five minutes. Gwen, however, does not realize people do what she says because of a strange power granted to her through medication. Instead, she believes people are scared of her outbursts and thus do what she tells them to. (Commands using her power will be in a different color for clarity purposes in RP.)
【 Personality 】
A bit head strong, Gwen always means well. She is kind and compassionate, always wanting to protect those weaker than herself. However, Gwen has good days and bad days with her mental health, as many do. On her good days, Gwen gets along well with everyone. She has a good sense of humor, and she loves to write and share stories with people, and her singing voice isn't too terrible either, even if she's a bit self conscious of singing in front of others.
On her bad days, though, Gwen can hardly be considered present. Trapped in a concoction of flashbacks, panic attacks, and depressive symptoms, she can actually be dangerous to interact with. If someone tries to grab hold of her to calm her down, it will backfire as Gwen lashes out just to be free. However, she also needs someone looking after her as she will forget to eat. Perhaps the hardest part is her belief that she shouldn't even be alive today. That she should have died all those years ago.
【 Biography 】
For the most part, Gwen's life actually hasn't been that bad. Born into an upper class family with an amazing mother, father, and younger sister, Gwen was happy and did very well in school. She had friends that invited her to birthday parties, which she was always excited for, and she liked to sing karaoke with her father. This all changed when she was eight.
Coming home from a week long trip to Northern Arizona, Gwen's father became distracted while driving. In that moment, the car veered into the opposite lane and crashed into a semi. Because of how the car hit and compacted, her father died instantly, and her mother and sister fell unconscious. The truck driver was able to pull out her mother and her sister despite the car slowly becoming engulfed in smoke, but couldn't get the doors open on the driver's side. As the fire entered the inside of the car from Gwen's left side, she passed out.
She woke up in the ICU in a mix of pain and a dream like state, but that didn't last long. She was in and out of consciousness for the next few days. When she finally awoke, she learned about her parents' and sister's death. The father in the accident, the mother from head trauma, and the sister, age five, from smoke inhalation. She learned how her leg, having been trapped between the seats, had to be amputated above the knee in order to get her out fast enough. Her life had been changed forever.
Afterwards, Gwen went through half a year of physical therapy to learn how to walk with a prosthesis. It took everything she had to continue getting up despite every time she fell.
With her immediate family dead, she was sent to live with her Aunt Josey (Josephine). Aunt Josey did not believe in psychological therapy being able to help someone, calling it useless at best and a scam at worst, so Gwen did not receive any help towards overcoming her issues. Instead, as she grew older and went through the hormonal roller coaster of puberty, the issues were left to fester, eating away her insides piece by piece. Her grades slipped, she couldn’t keep any friends, and the few dates she went on were a disaster. She barely passed high school one year later than her peers and got a job working at a fast food restaurant for minimum wage.
A year later, Gwen spiraled downhill as her PTSD spiked. She lost her job. On the brink of also being evicted from her apartment, she finally decided enough was enough. She found Spring Hill through an ad online and told her aunt she would be admitting herself. Aunt Josey did not take kindly to this and told her that she would not be welcomed back. These were the circumstances Gwen entered Spring Hill under.
Spring Hill was kind of like a dream for Gwen. It was an escape from reality, but it didn’t save her from her pain, putting her in a type of limbo. She got along well with most people there, but several of them had seen her breakdowns, too. Right now, she just hopes this struggle is worth it.
【 Trivia 】
Her favorite flowers are snapdragons because she has fond memories of her and her sister playing with them.
She has a pillow with a nighttime prayer on it even though she isn’t religious because it used to be her mother’s.
She believes in a superstition. Draw a star (asterisk) on the corner of a windowpane whenever there is frost, and the home will be protected from evil. Her father taught her this, who learned it from his father.

【 Appearance 】
Liam loves to have a bit of pop in his appearance, all the way down to his hair. Typically dressed in a bright red hoodie with dyed purple hair and a variety of prescription colored contact lenses (which he is naturally half blind without), Liam’s slight build stands out from the crowd. It doesn’t help that his flamboyant attitude makes him take up a lot more space than most people at the institution and calls for people to at least notice his presence.
【 Why are you at Spring Hill? 】
Histrionic Personality Disorder that has resulted in harm to himself and others
【Residency 】
13 months
【 Negative Effects 】
Occasionally, Liam’s sight will become blurry or disappear altogether for several minutes at a time. He has tripped over and run into many things, including doors and tables, when the blindness comes on without warning. While this side effect may not seem too bad, it has been progressing further in the last few months. His blindness is happening more often, and for longer periods of time, and whenever he can see, he has started to see black and white specks floating in his vision, gradually growing larger with time. At least his other senses are unharmed so far. (I have more extreme things planned to happen suddenly instead of gradually in the RP.)
【 Positive Effects 】
Even though his sight is disappearing, Liam has found that he is able to sense things other people can’t. When he closes his eyes and concentrates, he can sense where everything is in a 10 meter radius that is steadily growing. However, he believes that this isn’t always accurate as he has sensed people before that were not there when he opened his eyes, mainly at night. In truth, he also has the ability to sense the astral and ethereal planes of existence, sensing things no normal human ever could. He has mainly used this ability when he is bored in his room rather than to be nosy. It should be noted that Liam can not actually see or hear anything he senses. He knows the forms of what he senses, but could not identify any colors, words, etc.
【 Personality 】
Some people could mistake Liam for a narcissist, and in a way he is. He loves attention no matter what type it is, and he can’t handle rejection well. However, in truth, he just wants someone to actually care. To tell him he matters without being under any obligation to do so. In the meantime though, he will be a sarcastic asshole as much as his heart desires, flirt with the ladies, and cause as much trouble as he can get away with.
That being said, he does have a good side. He is very caring and can’t stand bullies. He is likable and funny, and loves to put a smile on people’s faces. It’s much better than making them cry, after all.
The last thing to note though, is that Liam hides the fact he is homosexual out of fear of rejection. As such, he plays up his flirtation with the ladies quite a bit. Fake it till you make it as people always say.
【 Biography 】
“So. Emma. Would you ever go out with Liam? He’s kinda cute.”
“He’s a bit… much. I’d rather date Henry.”
Liam, overhearing his two classmates whisper about him, approached with a big smile and wrapped an arm around both girls’ shoulders. “Come on ladies. How could you possibly resist a face like this?”
“Oh! Liam. I, uh… I didn’t mean anything bad by it.”
He leaned toward Emma a bit more, causing her to scoot back in response. “I thought you liked me,” he teased. “We shared food and everything just the other day.”
In a single tone, the school bell rang out, cutting their conversation short.
“Sorry. I gotta go. See you, Liam.” Emma stood, hurriedly gathering her bag before rushing out the door, her friend close behind her.
“Damn. You got shut down hard.” Liam’s friend chuckled from across the room.
Liam chuckled in reply. “E nel passato. She’ll warm up to me.” However, even as Liam proclaimed this calmly and with his signature grin, he could feel a small piece breaking inside him.
That night, he landed himself in police custody after breaking a man’s leg in a fight.
This was nothing new, in all honesty. His parents would come and pick him up, he would be reprimanded, maybe miss dinner or be grounded. But at least his parents would be paying attention to him.
Growing up was rough to say the least. Once he was old enough to cook, he was expected to take care of himself. When his little brother, Nicholas, was born at age 3, he had to take care of him, too. During these years, Liam wasn’t too different from the other boys at school. Fast forward a few years, Liam found out Nicolas was starting to self harm due to severe bullying at school. For one of the first times in his life, Liam pleaded with his parents to pay attention to him and his brother. He pleaded because he was scared and helpless. He knew he wasn’t enough to save Nicholas. He knew Nicholas was at risk of dying either from himself or others.
He was right.
On August 18 when Liam was 14 years old, Nicholas died of asphyxiation after the bullies wrapped him in cling wrap as a “joke” and left him to get out on his own. The three boys who did it were charged with manslaughter, but Liam was not satisfied. If his parents had listened, this would not have happened. If his parents had paid attention, Nicholas would still be alive. He swore that day to make his parents listen and pay attention.
It started out small, kind of. “Accidentally” cutting himself bad enough to need stitches. Falling off a swing and breaking his ankle. Eating bad food and getting food poisoning. His parents did start paying attention, now scared their remaining child might fall to the same fate as their first. They doted on him, always trying to listen or be there, and it was intoxicating to Liam.
However, when his parents started to ignore him again, Liam discovered he could also get attention at school. All he had to do was break rules or become a disturbance. And when his parents were called in to a conference about him, they started paying attention again. Even if it was negative, it was still attention, and it made Liam feel better than he had when he was ignored.
Over the years, Liam had a lot of hospital visits and run-ins with the police. But he was happy at least. Eventually, everything amounted to one final night. One final show for attention. Liam, after trying for years to make his parents care, decided to see if they did. He set up the entire scene. A suicide note on his desk, running water in the bathroom sink, a chair against the door that could also be pushed out of the way easily, and a barely understandable call to 911 as soon as he slit his wrists. The last thing he could remember was how woozy he felt as there was a commotion outside his door.
When he woke up hooked to a bunch of tubes and strapped to a hospital bed, Liam was told his parents were admitting him to a psychiatric facility to get some help. He didn’t even have a chance to say goodbye before he was sent off the Spring Hill.
Really, all Liam wants now is to get out. He has tried for months to show he is just a normal human, but to no avail. At this point, he has given up resisting. He has instead resorted to be troublesome and annoying in ways that won’t get him in too much trouble. The last person who truly caused a scene by saying things like the facility was killing them disappeared a little while after. Correction. She had “finished her treatment”. That, Liam doesn’t believe for a second.
【 Trivia 】
Liam has a habit of saying, “e nel passato”, or “it’s in the past” in Italian, often to brush aside something he doesn’t like being reminded of.
Pastel pink is his favorite color.

【 Name 】
Aurora "Rory" Labonte
【 Age 】
23
【 Birthdate 】
6th of May (Taurus)
【 Perceived Gender】
Female
【 Sexuality 】
Lesbian
【 Appearance 】
Rory is a 5'5, uncomfortably bony individual. Her freckled skin is pale and sickly looking. It is home to many purple and yellow bruises - which she seems to get without reason - and old, faded scars scattered here and there.
Rory's hair is thin, matted and has dark roots so long they have turned her hair into a gradient. Arguably her hair was fully bleach blonde once, but now it just looks like an unmaintained disaster. Rory's dull eyes are a grayish teal colour, and her angular face could be described attractive if she didn't look like she was dying. Rory's full, chapped lips look even bigger on her hollowed face, and her eyebrows remain strong and expressive.
Inarguably underweight, Rory's clothes hang off of her frame and rarely fit her. She often wears men's size t-shirts coupled with shorts. She probably couldn't be any more low-effort if she tried. In an attempt to warm Rory, the body hair on her arms has grown wispy and long. Rory's fingertips often tinge purple, and they feel rather freezing to the touch.
Because of her thoroughly unkempt appearance, Rory could be described as someone who has been raised from the dead rather than a living human being.
【 Why are you at Spring Hill? 】
Survivor's guilt, Danger to herself, Depressed
When Rory lost her last friend due to her personal problems, she finally realised she needed to get better - if not for herself, then at least for the few people she cared about. After a bit of googling, Rory found an ad for Spring Hills and enrolled herself there, a decision she would likely come to regret many times later in her bad days.
【 Residency 】
3 months, of which she has spent most in isolation from others.
【 Negative Effects 】
Rory takes medication for a multitude of different things: depression, insomnia, blood pressure, and more.
After beginning the medications Rory has started experiencing blood pressure even lower than would be normal for her. She gets heart palpitations and might faint from something as minor as a coughing fit. She doesn't think anything is amiss, however, as all of the symptoms could be explained by her weight and she knows that. Other symptoms she associates with her low weight are thinning hair, dry and discoloured skin, and absence of menstruation.
The only out of place symptoms she experiences are the splitting headaches she gets, and the excessive bruising around her body. She bruises easily from any force, and sometimes bruises appear seemingly out of nowhere as tiny blood vessels are deteriorating underneath her skin.
【 Positive Effects 】
The medication has provided some normal positive effects, such as helping Rory fall asleep and aiding her in keeping her moods in control. What she hasn't figured out yet is that she has also developed an ability akin to something supernatural.
Lie detector - Rory knows when someone is lying, no matter how good a liar the person is. Whenever a person lies, Rory gets a nasty stab of a headache as an indication. This is a truly unremarkable power given that even if she knows someone is lying, she doesn't know what the truth is. Lately Rory has been able to pinpoint what the lie in a statement is, but this is just a minor improvement to her power. The weakness is that if the liar genuinely and fully believes they are speaking the truth, Rory won't be able to detect the lie.
【 Personality 】
【 Funny - Loyal - Passionate / Snarky - Rude* - Apathetic/Pessimistic* 】*trauma induced traits
After the incident Rory has retreated into her shell. Not much is left of the outgoing girl made of high spirits and wide grins. She has fallen into the deep pit of apathy, simply not engaging with the world around her. The only thing that seems to remain the same is her quick temper, which often resurfaces from beyond the apathetic, blank look she carries.
Rory - in all of her self-pity and self-loathing, is insufferable to be around. She goes out of her way to appear inconsiderate and deliberately hurt people's feelings, acknowledging her words might be hurtful and not caring anyway. It's as if she wants to push people away, as far away as possible to remain in her little bubble of self-hatred and misery. However, she appreciates justice and carries out her promises if she ever makes them.
Rory is smart. She recognises her own behaviour and knows why she does it, but can't be bothered to try and better herself. Why bother, really? That seems to be her constant justification, a shield she uses to avoid giving a shit. She pretends so hard not to care about her own toxic behaviour that she might just start believing it.
Rory has some good days, too. On those days it feels like a light has returned into her eyes. She isn't as much of an asshat on her good days. Defensive and snarky comments aside, Rory feels much like her old self on these days. It's on those days she doesn't take her anger out on others, but recognises that it is herself she's truly angry at. And on those good days she might even remember why she arrived in Spring Hills in the first place.
Rory is tough and resilient. Her spirit - once awakened - is hard to squelch. When she forms a bond with someone, she will do anything for that person, not much caring of the consequences. To those who knew her before, truly the saddest thing has been seeing that fiery passion die. Without it there is really not much that makes Rory someone to be around with, and the woman recognises this.
【 Biography 】
It was all her fault.
Had she just listened to her mother, had she just done that one thing differently, they'd still be there with her. One tiny thing and she could've prevented it all from happening. But no, she'd been lazy. She'd been rebellious. She hadn't cared because really, it's no big deal.
It was all her fault.
Rory never lived a big, glamorous life, but she was comfortable. The small apartment her family lived in was old, but at least it was in a nice neighbourhood and close to a playground. It was nice. Comfortable. As an only child, being able to play with the other kids on the block was a saviour. It wasn't as if Rory's life was perfect. Her parents fought a lot, money was a bit tight from time to time, and she sometimes got herself in trouble for provoking the bigger kids. Life wasn't perfect, but it was her life, and she loved it.
Well, until that one night.
Rory was fourteen when it happened. Peak teen rebellion age, exploring boundaries and defying your parents just because. Of course, Rory had always been a bit of a troublemaker, but she was a good kid at heart. But who could blame her for ignoring her annoying, nagging parents sometimes? That's just the way it was supposed to be at that age. So what if her mother had told her to clean up her room a thousand times, and to move those piles of clothing off the floor? So what if her dad kept reminding to throw away that charger in her room for the wires being exposed? So what if they told her not to charge her laptop with it, and told her to wait until they could get a new one?
That one fateful night, Rory knew why. And it was all her fault.
'It's an old apartment building,' people kept saying. 'You just couldn't have seen it coming. We're lucky the help got here before there were any more casualties,' they said. Rory didn't hear them. She knew what had happened, and she knew it had been all her fault. Her parents were gone, burned to a crisp or suffocated to death by toxic fumes... all because of her. It had to be all because of her. Because she had been impatient, she had been stupid, she had been a bad daughter who had used the faulty charger to charge up a laptop in a room full of dust and clothes.
It had only taken one little spark, one little spark in a house with dry walls and old power outlets. Rory had waken up from the heat. Her parents hadn't.
'It wasn't your fault,' the firemen reassured. 'It was no one's fault.'
But Rory knew different. She knew it was all because of her.
【 Trivia 】
- Rory has done pretty much every possible thing to harm herself - be it directly or indirectly. Mostly she just smokes like there's no tomorrow and drinks alcohol despite hating the taste. Her dramatic weight loss is due to intentional starvation on her part; all of this is her way of punishing herself, as she hasn't been able to reach forgiveness.
- Rory can't stand people who pity themselves, although ironically she is the one swimming in self pity. Maybe that's exactly why she doesn't like them.
- Rory has a trigger: fire. Which is truly ironic considering that she is a smoker.
- Rory's blood type is B+
- Rory's favourite colour is yellow
- Her favourite food are waffles
- Rory likes cars
- After coming to Spring Hills, Rory has genuinely gotten somewhat better. She has given up smoking half-willingly, has put on some weight and seems to be overall a slightly less terrible person. She really tries some days, and you can see it from her. It is on the days she's consumed by apathy that you really worry if she has decided to quit trying all over again.
- Rory is from Canada, Quebec. She knows French.

『』【" . . . Why are you at Spring Hill? . . . "】『』
_PTSD & Paranoid personality disorder. In hopes of escaping her cult, she came to Spring Hill. However, they could be hiding anywhere--even in the one place she finds to be safe.
『』【 . . . Residency. . . 】『』
_5 months.
『』【 . . . Negative Effects . . . 】『』
_The medication has caused Eridania's PTSD to rise intensely, causing her memories from the time she had her body dirtied come alive; keeping her in a disillusioned state. She'd become an empty shell, reverting back to the times where she had devoted her whole life to the moon and stars.
『』【 . . . Positive Effects . . . 】『』
_The medication has helped Eridania to be less paranoid and sleep much better at nights.
All seeing eye: Eridania is able to see anything in a 360 view, whether its close or far from her. She just need's to keep her eyes open for 10 seconds to activate it. Her weakness would be how she can't have it for more than 10 seconds, and she can't blink during the process.
『』【 . . . Personality . . . 】『』
_- Happy-go-lucky - Overemotional - high-spirited - . . . - Imaginative - Clingy - Unreliable -
Despite having such a background, Eridania Soh was known to be talkative with an extensive vocabulary. Her imagination allowed her to write and tell stories, where it was her favorite past time during her time at the cult. Telling and writing stories for the higher ups about the mythical beings that watched them from the stars, where she found acceptance for whenever someone complimented her works. Although her imagination served a good purpose, Eridania's creativity can sometimes get out of hand and she likes to escape reality. She'll create a world for just her, with her surroundings as her tools for the story. Eridania would play it out and fall so into her imagination, that she would forget herself and those around her. It's as if, she's in a play, acting out her world of creativity to her audience.
『』【 . . . Biography . . . 】『』
_“Remember, my love, if you’re ever in trouble, just hold out your hand, palm out, and you will get the help you need, no matter where you are. The moon is forever your savior, remember that.”
Eridania laid on the cold concrete, the metallic, bitter tang of blood clothed her mouth. She stared up longingly towards the night sky, it was a full moon that night, and all the stars were out. With no strength left in her, Eridania couldn't blink nor close her eyes. All she did was stare deeply at the moon, pleading for forgiveness--even if she hadn't done anything wrong--Eridania still begged with all her might. She needed help and the moon who was supposed to be her savior, spat at her humiliating state; condescendingly watching Eridania muffle a scream.
With the remembrance of the words that was embedded in her head, and in desperation, Eridania held both arms up with her palm upturned toward the moonlight. Her throat aching and pleading her for water, her dry lips pursed, the body of her's colored in bruises, and her white nightgown tattered and pulled apart. Opening her mouth to speak to the heavens, nothing left her cracked lips but instead a tear fell from the eyes that once fell in love with the moon. Now she looked up at the big rock in anger, in disgust, cursing up at the one who was supposed to protect her and nurser her.
Eridania plopped her arms back down beside her, groaning in pain. Her eyes trailed and she observed her surroundings. A wooded area and black cloaks spread out in circles as candles blurred her observations. She had blocked out the sounds of the choir preaching, but as a ringing came to her ears she heard every word escaping the one voice that was louder than the others.
The girl knew exactly what had happened--in fact, she had been told the day before what was going to take place. However, no one prepared her for what she was going to feel. Eridania was promised the life of a star after death, the sparkling one that never lost it's life to it; she was promised a life of happiness after death. Not the dirtying of her sacred body where her innocence was forever lost that night, or the destroyed idea that the moon and the stars weren't her saviors, or the betrayal of the "family" she grew to trust.
Being born into a cult wasn't something Eridania deemed as strange or horrible, in fact, she never knew it was described as a cult--rather than just a big family. They believed in the moon gods and the stars as their protectors, girls young as 13 were seen as old enough, spouses slept around freely, everyone had to live in groups of ten in a room; sometimes there weren't even enough space. Prayers consisted of sitting in a circle with all hands held and woman in the middle where drawings would be carved onto her body. The moonlight bathing her.
No one thought wrongly of it, everyone was naive and so was Eridania.
Eridania's mother had several kids, a total of 10 or more and her father who was a stoic man never spoke to Eridania since he always would forgets she was his kid. Her mother was devoted to their ruler and the gods that sang with the stars. She drilled their practice onto Eridania ever since birth.
Eridania fell in love with the heavens of the moon and stars, she devoted her upbringing to them and in times of a rough moment in her life, she prayed. Her whole life was to pray.
She was fine with that. Everyone else was, so why wouldn't she be?
But, when she was stripped from her innocence and had her body be used as a canvas by several people; Eridania grew to understand fear.
On the night of the twelfth choosing, Eridania ran off into the night sky with just her white nightgown. Memories of her childhood sparkled and she cried out, in despair and of joy.
Her days and nights spent on the streets gave her chills and fear that the cult was perhaps, following her. Waiting for Eridania to be in her lowest and take her back, only to again, destroy her body. She'd wake up, sweating and wearing a disheveled look, flipping her head around in hopes to not come across the cult. Since every part of her managed to convince Eridania that they were always hiding in the shadows, under the protection of the moon, waiting to attack her once again.
After living off the streets for a few weeks, starving and what she believed to have been--her dying state. Eridania spotted a small sign that mentioned about Spring Hill. She took upon the offer immediately, mainly for shelter; but because she felt that any minute now, they were going to snatch her and feed Eridania off to the moons.
As she clutched on to the paper, wrinkling the corner, Eridania clenched her stomach and walked off towards Spring Hill.

| ▄W h y a r e y o u a t S p r i n g H i l l ? ✗ Pathological Liar ✗ Suicide Attempts ✗ However, if you were to ask Anahita herself, she would have diagnosed herself with 90% of the disorders explained in the DSM-5. Anahita's lies were getting so involved and convoluted that her employer required her to seek counseling after Anahita's recent behavior. ▄R e s i d e n c y Anahita has been at Spring Hill for about 6 months now. ▄N e g a t i v e E f f e c t s Anahita is currently on several different medications(sometimes upon her request.) They started with some mild isolated itching and rashes, which eventually escalated to full body rashes and hives. After Anahita went around making sure everyone knew about her rashes and their location, she was given a different medication; while her rashes diminished, Anahita was experiencing constant fevers. Eventually, Anahita's body was no longer able to maintain its normal body temperature, spiking randomly. By her sixth month, while her apetite hadn't changed, Anahita also suffered significant weight loss. ▄P o s i t i v e E f f e c t s Anahita's current medications have actually helped her with her impulsive and obsessive need to lie. Now, Anahita was able to stick to a lie and perfect it, rather than continuously blur the line of fact and fiction with random lies that eventually contradicted each other. [ Mirror Mirror | The ability to project an image of herself dependent on what lies she's spun. Think of it as shapeshifting without Anahita's body actually changing. Anahita would be able to lie herself into another person, thing or animal and the person speaking to her (from their perspective) will begin to see said person, thing or animal. However, if the person is aware that Anahita is lying, then nothing happens. ] ▄P e r s o n a l i t y | Creative | Placid | Emotional | - - | Selfish | Irrational | Complicated | Empty Slate | The inside of Anahita's mind most likely resemble's that of an RPG game's character selection screen, except with backstories and personalities. Anahita, for as long as she could remember, has been altering her sense of self to fit a situation or person to a complete extreme. One moment she could be the most extroverted girl on earth, who loves skiing and then the next moment you have her as a struggling guitarist with anger management issues. Anahita is an empty Etch-a-Sketch that recycles personalities as she sees fit. Unfortunately, that coupled with her impulsive (and unecessary) lying, has forced Anahita to a life of solitude since no one has ever felt comfortable enough with her to be constantly around with her. ▄B i o g r a p h y Anahita had been standing on the ledge of her work place's roof for three reasons: First, the view the height offered had a romantic feel to it. It was your usual city scene, building upon building all neatly stacked up in a line. But the sunlight peeking through the space between the buildings allowed the view to look more majestic. Second, the breeze running through her hair was soothing. And unnecessarily strong; Anahita had to make sure her footing was correct at all times to avoid any untimely slipping. But she knew the image of her hair flowing in the wind at the moment was as dramatic as it could get. The third reason was simple; Anahita had lied (again). It was the middle of the day on a week day but instead of answering phones by her desk, Anahita spent most of it on the roof experiencing her first ever suicidal attempt. She wasn't planning on doing any of the sort, it hadn't crossed her mind at all until she had overheard her coworkers talking about her behind her back. She figured telling them that her therapist (fake) had told her that she would amount to nothing (fake) and is better off dead (fake) wasn't the best decision. And following that with her telling them she owns a greeting cards business (she wishes) in Paris was not the best move--she should've waited a day or two to dish that one out for sure. Instead, her coworkers reported her to the HR department, and she's being accused of lying. Which, to be fair, she was but it had been necessary. There was no other choice, how else was she going to convince her manager that she had called out that week if not for her (false) crippling depression? But now, in order to make sure the story sticks, Anahita is on the ledge of the roof, waiting for the crowd to flock to her so she may start her soliloquy. Anahita grew up in a seemingly normal household as an only child. Her parents, however, were obsessed with their image and were always trying to portray a specific image of their family. Their life consisted of a big check list-- Married? check. House? check. Child? check. Once Anahita entered their lives, they had to make sure Anahita herself was the depiction of a perfect baby. Anahita wasn't allowed to be anything but what they needed her to be. Because of this, Anahita has never had a sense of self and the growth of her personality was stunted before it even had a chance to bloom. Anahita was the perfect daughter for whatever the situation required her to be. She managed perfect grades until her mother no longer wanted a daughter that behaved too well. She became an artistic daughter until her father wanted to be known for his patience for caring for a daughter that had fallen to addiction. While Anahita is none the wiser, the fact that she was her parent's play-doh doll has paved the road to her lying. Lying has always been in her nature; the more immersive her requested personas were getting, the more lost the real Anahita was becoming. While in school, especially since her parents weren't around to dictate her personality, she was left to her own devices. Unfortunately, this meant that Anahita had no idea as to how she was supposed to behave, which, in turn, caused her to become the odd one out in class early on. She became an easy target for sneers, teasing, and later on escalating to bullying. The only thing Anahita knew how to do was to be somebody else. While on the school bathroom floor, nursing a swollen lip and black eye, Anahita realized that's all she had to do. Next day came, instead of being the victim, she became the opposite--the bully. She bluffed and lied her way through situations and eventually managed to get through high school and college unscathed. Her lying progressively got worse and became something she could no longer control. She knew she was lying, she just didn't know how to stop. But now that she's on the roof, a few steps away from jumping, she realized that she truly has a problem that should probably be addressed. And as if on queue, her boss bursts through the doors and through the crowd, dragging her off the ledge. |  【 Name 】 ____________________Anahita Diaz 【 Appearance 】 ____________________Anahita is a whopping 5'3" tall and that seemed to be the only thing about her appearance that hasn't changed since arriving at Spring Hill. At the beginning, Anahita had weighed 149 pounds and her hair was overflowing with lush curls. Now 6 months in, Anahita's curls are now sad waves and she's lost over 20 pounds. Her style completely differs on the day, but unbeknownst to her, she finds comfort in big sweaters and loose pants. 【 Age 】 ____________________24 【 Birthdate 】 ____________________April 17th 【 Sexuality 】 ____________________ Bisexual 【 Gender】 ____________________ Female 【 Trivia 】 ____________________ ✗Anahita cannot, for the life of her, swallow pills unless she has a drink. ✗She has a large scar on her abdomen, near the right.
