About your Character:
Personality: Ridley has transformed from a shy sweetheart to a popular, style crazed b*tch.
Ridley won't deal with any bul|shit from anyone. She's a tough cookie with a hard shell exterior , however, bears the interior as soft as a feather, not that the sweetheart side of her is easy to get to.
Ridley has a lot of layers, like an onion, and she'll make you cry like one too. She's heartless as most would confirm, and she gets pleasure out of other's tears. Ridley makes it clear to all she meets that she's sarcastic and impatient, and those are two lessons about her you won't soon forget, like most of the crew members, people tend to stay clear of her.
She's a complete health maniac. Ridley will only eat organic products, ad she's a vegetarian so her menu won't soon consist of anything that has eyes and can be killed. On a daily basis she does a series of exercises and stays fit and active, not to mention the motion of her body that is displayed at parties when she's letting her body move with the rhythm of the music, normally grinding against a hot abercrombie model worthy guy who only has one thing on his mind, but they all learn that she's a major flirt, and unless you have intentions on keeping her around for more than just one night, you won't soon be getting any action from her other than french kisses, and every once in a while, copping a feel.
If you think Ridley's a b*tch now, you obviously haven't met her after messing with one of the people she holds dearest. If you dare mess with her brothers and siters, her family, or her friends, beware.
Ridley is flexible, she used to take gymnastics and dance lessons, and although she still dances today, she more so enjoys dancing on table tops than on a stage these days.

48 Years Old
[ Owner of Silent Falls Spa ]
Daddy, Jeffrey Pemino, is quite the witty guy. He has a great sense of humor and can get almost anyone to laugh, if not, at least crack a smile. It's hard to see this happy go lucky guy without a smile on his face. Don't mistake him for a fool, however. Yes, it's easy for him to smile or crack a joke, but step out of line, and you've stepped right into the fire of the temper and rage that can spill out from his emotions. He may not be my own flesh and blood, however, he loves me, and he's one of the only people who know our secret, and still manages to accept me as an average kid. I respect him because of that, because of the way he's able to look at me without sympathy or pity, but instead, with love and respect.

I wish it were true that she was, however, pasts exist, and there's nothing we can do to change it, we'd only be fooling ourselves. Mom is also an excellent cook. In fact, I often find my brothers and sisters, or friends coming home with me for one of her amazingly, mouth watering, delectable, home cooked meals. Talk about magical. She's the sweetest person, and although she has a temper, it's rarely shown. I love her, and she's truly become one of my best friends.

2 Years Old
[ Human ]
Zoey Pemino, this little cutie is one of the cutest and most well behaved children you shall meet. I hardly get to see her but when I do, she simply incredible to watch. She has such a great imagination and watching her play outside in the yard, or inside on a rainy day when she's playing dress up. It's incredible. She may be human, but to us, she'll always be our little witchy mascott.
History: A child's tears are not only tragic, however, heartbreaking when witnessed by either their peers or some one older than them. Not only heartbreaking though, they've also been told to be quite contagious.
On November 12, 1990, Ridley Nicole Parris was born to a young couple only married for two years, Elliott and Renee Parris. She was their angel, their pride and joy and their hopeful foreshadowing for a better future from the struggle they'd found themselves slumped into. However, happily ever afters don't always follow every story.
On the child's second birthday, a mother left, telling her child to stay put, not to answer the door or phone for any one, and on that rainy, stormy day, a two year old Ridley stayed curled up in a corner by herself in an empty locked house as eerie shadows spread themselves across the room. That day, the shadows were monsters coming to get her, and the thunder outside were their loud roars of anger. That young version of Ridley remained cowered up in that same corner for two days, crying and praying her mother would return, however, she never did, and when she was found, they had to break down the door to retrieve her as if she were a fetch toy for some golden retriever.
It was discovered that her father had been called back to the army to help them with his services, and her mother was found across the Unites States in Los Vegas, Nevada gambling with a drink in one hand, a cigarette in the other. She was arrested on the spot and labeled an unfit mother while the child was placed under the care of the state of New York.
Half a year later, a child's belongings were packed into a bag and she was lead a few states over with a social worker to an elegant, antique mansion in Ipswich, Masachusettes. She was told that the family she'd be living with, were the Pemino's, a loving couple that would raise her as their own child, and care for her in a way that she deserved to be cared for.
Years went on, and the child's memory of that dreaded day when her birth mother had abandoned her lived on as a silent film replaying itself in her head, however, she became more familiar with these people she'd spend the rest of her life with. She became better acquainted with them, and the young child slowly came out of her shell at home. She smiled more, laughed more, played more, and made herself comfortable in their home.
Four years later, at the age of six, and again, a child's tears were released in the form of a majestic river that ran from sorrow stained eyes down to her chin, which then dripped on to the floor of the corner she'd found herself curling up into. A war had broken out, and the child found herself fatherless, as well as attending her first funeral. That same year, she managed to create chaos throughout three towns with seven other children.
The girl's life had taken many sharp turns, however, at the age of eight, two years later, the girl's life looked as if it would be all sunshine and rainbows, however, going through so much in so short of a period at so young of an age had left scars that Ridley feared would never heal, and so she muted herself, not talking with anyone, including the family she'd worked so hard to trust and become comfortable around.
In fifth grade, the reproduction system was introduced to her class, and sexual intercourse was discovered. Ridley was teased with comments out of positivity that she would never open her legs to anyone. She couldn't even talk, they would tease, there was no way she would possibly ever touch a boy.
Her fuzzy sweaters and loose fit jeans became an object of the past and her innocence was left in the dust when she decided that this was not the direction she wanted her life to go in. She was a mute, not a prude, however, no one would take her seriously unless she stepped up to the plate, and after that summer, she came back in sixth grade as a new Ridley, style and voice.
A new confidence had risen, and she became eye candy, and things only got worse from there. She'd spoken up, and that only lead to lost innocence. Ridley lost her virginity before she was even a teenager and she regretted it instantly, however, there was no turning back.
Ridley only became more confident with herself, almost overly confident as some would say, and she opened her legs more often, becoming more of a bitch. In seventh grade, she managed to become quite the flirt, as well as a complete tease when she became tired of giving herself away so easily. She'd made a vow to herself that if she did give more to a guy than lip action, that it would mean something, and that's when she recognized him, Remmington, a high school student that had swept her off her feet.
Ridley is now a sophomore at Wenham highschool, and is living life to its fullest trying hard not to forget the past, but move on from it, and grow from her experiences, however, she can take time out of her growing experiences for a party or two every now and then, not to mention flirting, and the responsibility she has to uphold as a sister of Ipswich..
Other: When Ridley's nervous, she tends to bite her bottom lip lightly, not to be confused with her flirtatious lip bite or her seductive lip bite. Also, it's a habit of hers to clap her hands when she's really excited.

Taken from Drowning...in love again - Leigh Saunders
Leigh made her way through the cafeteria as a lioness surveying her surroundings, looking for her prey of the day. Several nerds and geeks cleared a path for her. She wasn't complaining. She enjoyed being treated like royalty by those who judged her only off of the rumors they'd heard about her. Granted, more than half of them were true, she could actually be quite a nice person. At least that's what the people she hung out with had told her. She actually thought of herself as a very rude, sarcastic bitch.
One thing in the cafeteria caught her eye today more than other days, and that was a focused Bastian. He was such a geek. He was focused on something today and the facial expressions he made while focusing on whatever it was that was entertaining him today just made him look stranger than he already looked. She'd seen him around. He was such an oddball and her friends often picked on him, and she'd always been there laughing when he was shoved into a locker or transformed into a mummy. She'd never actually touched him, herself though.
She spotted the table full of jocks who seemed to have turned their attention to the same thing she'd just been staring at. It was as if Bastian wasn't even aware that there were a full room full of people around him. He was caught up in his own little world, in his own thoughts, and he'd erased them completely. Leigh wasn't a fan of being erased or ignored so she felt Bastian needed to be taught a few manners. She looked back at the table full of jocks who'd just begun whispering rude comments about him while she grinned and made her way closer to her target.
Once she'd reached Bastian's table she smirked at the guys, and slammed her hands down on the table, not loud enough to gain the whole cafeteria's attention, but loud enough to scare him out of the trans he seemed to be in and turn his attention to her.
"You know..it's rude to ignore a pretty girl who's giving you all of her attention.."
She tried keeping a serious face but the muffled laughs from the jocks table only made her laugh herself.
"What do we have here?"
She grabbed the paper he'd been sketching on and walked over to the jocks table with it. She'd gained more than a few tables attention after she'd grabbed the paper from Bastian and raised her voice as she asked Bastian what she had just taken from him.
"Bobbert hmm? Is this a super cool version of you that you could only wish you actually were?"
She gave him a manipulative stare as the jocks started passing his paper around and laughing, making stupid, corny jock jokes that only they thought were funny. She laughed anyway just to amuse her friends.
