I need someone to show me my place in all this. ~Sophie1) 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.
Alvin and Scarlett Fogelmark has been just another middle class couple, though to some, they were picture-perfect. They eloped right after graduating the Elite Levels in Foxfire, first on each other's matchmaking lists and already going straight to getting in a good position in life. They were stable, and ready for anything. Well, that was anything except children apparently. Their first born came about a year after they had gotten a house. Their second born came a year and a month after that. And their third born... or rather, third and fourth, since surprise, surprise, it was twins. That might have hit home harder than it looked, since four children coming around so quickly wasn't in the plans. But they'll take it anyway. As for the children, they were known as follows: Laurell Constance Fogelmark; Taylor Iris Fogelmark; Sara Alexia and Isa Melanie Fogelmark. This story is about the third one of the four; Sara Alexia Fogelmark.
Sara was born about five minutes before Isa was, yet they still say Isa was the cuter one. Sara was undoubtedly adorable herself though as well. But that is besides the point. The point being that Sara and Isa were most definitely the gems of the family. They were twins, sure, but strangely enough, Alvin and Scarlett were fine with that. Surely they'd think the same as anyone else, but then again, neither was important enough to really care much. If anything, they wanted more of Sara and Isa than their other children; all this for one reason. To prove that twins can be as successful if not more so than anyone born without one. They had other reasons for wanting it too; Scarlett herself was a twin, but she became twinless after her twin passed away when she was young. Alvin's family also had twins at one point, but they let them go in fear of being shamed. So each kept the secret from their families, so that Sara and Isa can live in peace.
Now, Sara may have more visual resemblance to Scarlett than Alvin, but she most certainly possessed his mindset, as she grew with a fondness for art; something her dad was a natural at. She also took an interest in beauty, something her twin Isa would also tap into. To say that Alvin at least wasn't proud, would be a lie. Because he was. Scarlett found it amusing, but was proud too. She helped teach the twins what they need to know to take care of their own appearance. Little would she know, Sara wanted to learn to take care of others as well.
As the years went however, so did the children to Foxfire. Laurell was as always the first to manifest, as an Empath. Taylor followed her, manifesting as a Vanisher. And right as the twins started schooling at 11... Sara manifested as a Beguiler. But Isa... Isa's moment never came. Sara had so much faith in her twin; she stuck by her side every single time, without a doubt. Even when Isa got held back, Sara stayed with her. But as they came to their sixth year, it was made clear. Isa unfortunately inherited something of a bad luck charm from Scarlett's family; she's a twin who is talentless. At first, Sara was in disbelief. She had manifested, so why couldn't Isa? The explanation hit them like a truck; the gene was present in every other generation in Scarlett's family. So since Scarlett got skipped... her children took it in. And Isa was born without a talent. As a result, Isa was denied entry to the Elite Levels, as all Elite Level prodigies must have an ability. On the other hand, Sara got an invitation... but turned it down, because she never wants to leave Isa.
All the while, Sara had been picking away at her passion for art and beauty... and it payed off. She found herself in the company of the Rose Quartz Beauty & Fashion team, and they most definitely saw her talent and her passion. With time, Sara became one of their leading stylists, while doing a side thing as a designer as well. Soon enough though, Sara found herself with an invitation to lead one of Rose Quartz's leading salons; the Rose Gold Beauty Salon. She accepted without skipping a beat. And now, she's 24 years old and quite truly living her best life ever... with her friends and family by her side no less.
2) What is your character's personality like? Are they respectable, or rude? The character's personality must be a paragraph long.
Sara has a positively artistic mind; she can see the beauty in a lot of things. She can be a leader when she needs to, though that can be a rare occurrence as she hardly ever sees the actual need to lead. If anything though, she's a team player, and growing up with siblings who did support each other gave her the mindset of 'there is no i in team'. And she is most definitely willing to use her ability as a Beguiler to prove her point. In fact, she almost exclusively uses it to get others to get along.
Sara is however a big voice for tolerance as her family did not disgrace her or her twin for merely being twins. She has grown up with Alvin and Scarlett's open minds, and it is a beautiful thing. She's a free soul, only reined in by the realities of life. And she most definitely loves it.
