[She's Got Beauty From the Inside Out]
Hair Color: Blonde
Eye Color: Greenish Blue
Height: 5'4"
Weight: 120
Skin Tone: Pale
Overall Appearance:
Missy is of average height, her light blonde hair falls down past her shoulder and is usually semi-curled into loose curls or pulled back into a messy bun. Her blue eyes are often brought out by dark colors of eye shadow. She has a cute smirk that she uses to her advantage when it comes to getting what she wants. Above all, everyone compliments her eyes the most since she has a lot of emotion in her eyes. Most people say that they can tell when she's upset if they look in her eyes, despite her calm appearance.
As for fashion, she is pretty diverse, depending on her mood she can go from casual to formal and flashy. However she does prefer the more vintage look more than anything. She enjoys getting attention from what she wears but knows when to put a limit on what she wears.
But most of the time she just prefers to wear whatever is comfortable for her and then dress it up from there. She prefers being casual and comfy instead of walking around in horrible uncomfortable gawdy clothes that cause more misery than anything else. She really cares about her looks and does her best to work with what she has and make her look amazing all at the same time.

Overall Personality:
Missy's a fun loving kind of girl that's pretty content with just living life and doing whatever she wants to do. At times she can be a party girl but sometimes she'd much prefer a night just sitting at home watching T.V. or just hanging out with a few friends. She finds it easy to meet and mix, and can appear agreeable and compromising in conversation. Although she doesn't always agree with everything at times but most of the time she just keeps her opinions to herself and moves on with everything just to make everyone happy. She hates being one to make people change everything just for her. She'd rather just follow along with everything and grin and bear it than vocalize her opinions most of the time.
She has an urge to be reliable and responsible, she can be a bit superior, especially with the interfering expression which is "I know". Sometimes she can become intolerant of others, and caustic and belittling in her expression but she's usually under stress whenever she's like that. She's strongly independent and highly creative nature, with drive and ambition to have experiences and accomplish things out of the ordinary. Missy can work intently at whatever is new to her and holds her interest at the moment, but her interest wanes quickly when drudgery and monotony sets in. However obstacles to her progress or restrictions on her freedom to act create a sense of frustration which can cause her to feel resentful and even a bit rebellious.
She's always been a happy person, and, desiring to see others happy as well, she strives to inspire others, which she does most effectively through an engaging sense of humor, she'll do just about anything to see her friends happy. She is quite fond of surprises and is quick to respond to spontaneous invitations which promise a good time, particularly when they relieve her of a boring task.
With an air of sexy sweetness that is reminiscent of childhood innocence, she’s cute and likes to think that everything is good. Though she knows most things aren’t as good as they seem, she tries to see the best in everything. She’s very confident although there are times where it doesn’t seem like it. Although she has many family problems she is proud of her background, roots, and who she is. She loves to travel, and loves adventure and doing stuff out of the ordinary. Nothing is better to her than going out and having fun. She really doesn't care what most people think of her and she just loves doing whatever she wants to do. Most of the time she's really sweet and nice, but some times if you piss her off she can be your worst nightmare.

[We've All Got a Story Behind That Pretty Smile]
Hometown: Malibu, California
Overall History:
Originally from Malibu, California, she was raised in the oceanside vintage downtown area. That's probably the main inspiration for her vintage looks. She had a pretty normal childhood for the most part. Living with her parents and older brother, they were pretty content in their care free California lifestyle. Her family is pretty decent, probably a bit stranger than most considering both her parents are artists, and her brother is a musician. She's always been surrounded by art, ever since she was little her parents taught her how to draw and how to distinguish all the types of artists from Monet all the way to new artists like Ernie Gehr and so on and so on.
After middle school half of her friends went to the same private school, Saint John Fisher. A rather upright catholic school that seemed to make everyone’s lives miserable. They still had fun though. She became more of the rebel of the group. More friends, instead of the pack of friends from her previous school. She stepped out and made it plain and clear she didn’t care what others thought, mainly by her attitude and the way she dressed. Gambling in the back of class, failing religion class, and accidentally wearing a flame bracelet to Mass, needless to say she was a tad bit rebellious.
Ever since she was really little and began taking dance at a local dance studio did she realize she really liked being on stage and in the spotlight. So she decided to pursue her dream of stardom as she continued through school, trying out for all the plays and dances and dance team. She was always into musical theater and more than once ended up getting a lead role. And if she wasn't in a play, she always worked backstage whether it was with costumes and makeup or being one of the technical crew members. But she liked the traditional theatrical plays like Shakespeare as well as The Theater of the Absurd and Modernism. Among her favorite plays would have to be Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett, just the concept of the play and the odd setup of the stage and characters just fascinates her. She also loves classic movies, the most life changing movie for her that really inspired her to become an actress was Gone With The Wind.

Rp Sample:
"What? Me?" She gasped as if she hadn't been the one giggling all through class about nothing in particular. Pretty much, that's how all her classes were. Especially this English class. Usually she really liked English and she could do the whole analysis of the books and interpreting Shakespeare and all that stuff. It came pretty easy to her, but one thing she couldn't deal with was her teacher. Now most teachers she could just attempt to be quiet and just sit there and do whatever she wanted and be ignored. But no, this one seemed to call on her more than three times per class. So it seemed anyways. She didn't know if it was because she usually knew the answers, or she didn't look like she was paying attention, or maybe it was because she talked half the time and giggled with her friends in the back of the room. So this time it'd been the last straw for her teacher, handing her a detention slip, Missy took it was a smirk she couldn't believe she'd gotten a detention. It was her first detention ever, most of the time she could just get away with it by acting like she was really upset and she didn't want to have to explain to her parents about why she'd gotten a detention. But this time, she decided she'd just go and get it over with.
Stepping into the Detention Center, she handed the detention slip to the teacher in charge and sat down at one of the desks. She had no idea what she was going to do for her time in here but she figured she might as well spend it wisely. Taking out a small book titles 'Macbeth' she flipped open to the page she was one and began to read. But it was just too quiet in there for her, she sighed loudly and looked around wondering if there was somebody she knew in here. Seeing nobody she knew, she sighed again, great..now she'd just have to sit here and read and be a good girl for once. How boring, but there was nothing she could do about it, so she picked up her book once more and began to read.
