your sig goes here

1) Describe your character's backstory. Who are their parents? Did they grow up with Nobility, or were they of lower class? The character's backstory must be at least 2 paragraphs long.

Rueri (Rue) grew up in a small family, with no siblings. She lived in a lower class because her Mum, Sira Sombra, is not married. She goes to Foxfire Academy but because of her upbringing, she has a bit of an angry attitude. Her mum doesn't pay much attention to her because she is so busy and has never gotten much love. At school, people have teased her and bullied her, to which Rue reacts badly. She can come across as secretive and nasty but inside, she is very emotional. Rue has never wanted friends because she can never keep them. She has been told that her Dad, Tani Lupe, left when she was three after an incident at home and never returned.

At home, when she was five, she nearly destroyed her room because she couldn't control her anger and fury. The only person/thing she talks to is a Phoenix, whom she named Ember, who comes to window every day. She feels there is a connection to her because she always feels alone or if there is a part of her missing.

2) What is your character's personality like? Are they respectable, or rude? The character's personality must be a paragraph long.

Rue is rude and angry a lot of the time because of her life at home but inside, she is very emotional. If she finds a friend, she puts a lot of effort into them but if they do something mean to her, she isn't forgiving. She can hold a grudge for a long time and never regrets it. She has higher expectation for friends than others but that isn't because she is stuck up or picky. It is because she thinks everyone has the same expectations as her and it is what others think. She often breaks rules and is in detention a lot. At home, she covers up her feelings in front of her mum. She isolates herself from others too.

3) What does your character look like? Do you have a model in mind for them? (if you do, you only need to say who it is) She has long black hair that she ties in a ponytail. Her eyes are a pale blue that have darker streaks. Her skin is pale and she has a few freckles on her nose. Her style is tomboy-ish and she hates fancy dresses and make-up.

4) Describe your character's skill set. What they are good at? What do they want to be good at? What are they not good at?

Rue is very good at writing and is quite creative. She is not very sporty but she wants to get better at it. She often looks after animals she finds and can be a very good vet/animal carer. Her dream is to write about her adventures because she wants to travel and run away from her problems. She wants to leave her old self behind and have a family she promises to take care of, because of her own experiences. She is very bad at picking fashion and controlling her emotions, which gives her a lot of problems. Rue wants to get better at having friends but she doesn't think she can do it. However, she isolates herself a lot from people.
