__i wanna know, i wanna know
who y o u are
Nicknames: "Bella"[/li][li] Although Bella normally keeps to herself, her silent personality cries out to anyone within range. Though this is against her will, it makes it very simple for people to force themselves on her as "friends", as they are normally intrigued by her "suffer in silence" personality. After all, in LA, that's quite unusual.
Birth date: September 13th, 1987
Age: Twenty one
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Title: Freshman
Ability: N/A
The Pros:
[li] Being a very quiet and normally timid girl, Bella has grown into quite the "listener", often the person her friends and family members go to when they are in need of a rant. Though her listening skills are practically perfected, Bella has exceptional advice to offer her friends no matter what the problem is. The only down side being that the advice she offers them is exactly what they want to hear, not the reality of the situation.
[/li][li] Bella is a very passionate person, often found spending time with the people that mean the most to her, knowing this makes them happy makes it worth the time and effort. Those people include her biological parents (now divorced), and her new family (the Cullen's).
[/li][/ul]
The Cons:
- Estranged and newly reunited with her divorced father, Bella often feels disconnected from him and the life she lives under his roof. His over protective fathering instincts often drive Bella mad, as well as his clear dislike for Edward. Though he has nothing but the best intentions for her he and strives to dedicate his life to making her happy, Bella can't help but accept the slight depression that comes with living with a stranger.
- Though Bella cares deeply about her friends back home in Arizona and the few she has made through the summer at her new home in Bellefleur, she can't help but to place them on the back burner a lot of the time as her new heart throb Edward (whom she also met in the summer) now occupies much of her time. Because of this, her friends often feel slightly jealous of Edward.
- Bella's attitude when angered, aggravated or provoked may be intimidating, but under her "bad-ass" exterior, she is fairly weak, scared, and unable to protect herself a lot of the time. This is very unhandy with her extreme case of bad luck and clumsiness. Luckily, she has a boyfriend who is able to protect her for the most part, and his family to laugh at her every time she stumbles.
The Likes:
- La Push, a very remote beach only a short twenty minute drive from Bella's home is one of her favorite places to spend her spare time with her countless thoughts. With drift wood trees and high cliffs, it's a wonder more people haven't become to this addictive haven.
- Another of Bella's favorite places to spend time away from home is at her second home; the Cullen's mansion hidden three miles into the forest. Though the house is occupied by seven unique vampires, it's the one place she finds relaxation and security.
- Out of the seven vampires mentioned above, Alice seems to be one of Bella's favorites (apart from Edward, that is). The two became very close friends through high school and are often inseparable.
The Hates:
- New people, for the most part. She likes sticking with her clique of close friends (which include the Cullen's) and dreads new faces being brought into that tight circle, though she manages to fake a pretty smile during those rare times.
- Though she's never encountered a cheater, she's heard of experiences of them, and often speaks her mind about 'people like that.' If you're close with Bella and dating someone showing the signs of a potential cheater, she will speak up before you get your heart broken.
- Being a tad bit OCD, Bella hates clutter. Trash, items, mess, even traffic or large groups of people make her uncomfortable. Her independence shows greatly in these times and often forces her to retreat form the situation.
Character Personality:
Bella is a very laid back girl, growing up with her upbeat mother and step father Phil. Her father, whom she's only recently moved in with, is shocked that after her parent's nasty divorce, her personality remained as laid back and as quiet as before. The negative climax would have easily forced any other girl to tumble beneath the stress. Luckily, Bella used the unnecessary drama to build a new strength, a new home and a new family with herself and her father.[/blockquote][/size]
Spending time hiding in her bedroom in an escape from her life, Bella was hardly able to develop many social skills. Because of this, she feels threatened by new people trying to include themselves in her tight clique of friends and has difficulties communicating and relating to new people. Luckily, she now has Edward Cullen sneaking in her bedroom window to keep her company.
When she's not at home, Bella enjoys spending time with her friends and her boyfriend Edward. Though she shares very little in common with the potentially undead and dramatic Cullen family, they share a bond that would be impossible to break with indifferences. Her best friend Jacob, though quite strange, has turned out to be a very positive person in Bella's life, and she constantly depends on him for countless things. Irregardless of his nagging crush and passionate hatred for Edward. People's opinions on Jacob, his dislike for the Cullen's and his native beliefs take no effect on Bella because she knows that their opinions are not correct.

Character's Physical Description:Bella is a very small person in every aspect. Not only is she rather thin for her age group, but she's rather short compared to her long legged (male) friends, though it doesn't quite bother her as much as it should. Bella doesn't care about facial beauty half as much as she tends to her own inner beauty. Perfecting her sense of humor with a daily (unhumored) joke is an example of the many things she exercises to do so.
Her long brown hair has seen many other colors, lengths and styles. Her color differing from blond, back to brown. Her length from short to long and her styles can go from curly to straight in a heart beat. She likes keeping things interesting, and enjoys trying new things. Her eyes on the other hand, are one thing she wouldn't change for the world. Both her father and her mother were born with deep brown eyes and dark brown hair. Her eyes are the thing she loves most about herself.

Character's Family:Unlike most families, Bella's isn't half as bad as she lets on. Though her mother left her father only a few years ago, things managed to be just as perfect as before. Her father is currently working on the police force, leaving very little room for Bella to make any type of mistake. The job left him with enough money to support his wife and daughter in a very small and cloudy town. After a shaky patch, his wife left him and began her own life, traveling with her baseball playing husband. Today, Bella lives with her father while her mother travels with Phil.
Character History:Born in raised in the same sunny town, Bella never knew the value of a Gucci designer hand bag, or Armoni sun glasses. Though the amount of money her parents brought into the house played no effect on the great life handed to her, Bella found herself consistently out-casted by the other girls she attended school with and soon associated herself with the male gender.
At a ripe age, Bella's mother bid her farewells to her husband after deciding her lifestyle required more income than her husband was providing her with and a state with enough sun to provide her with a tan. Her new lifestyle included a second husband fulfilling his baseball dream. Her father, remained a police officer. Now, Bella is twenty-one years old and is living with her over loving father for the time being.

Your Characters Secret:Being the new girl in the small town of Bellefleur isn't the only tough thing happening in Bella's life. Recently engaging in a romantic relationship with a vampire, however, is.
Bella met Edward Cullen in her biology class and the two quite literally fell in love at first sight. That is, after Edward left for days and Bella caught him stalking her and her friends. It ended with smiles when he saved her from a group of wanna-be-rapists and took her to dinner. He of course, didn't eat.
Bella is also fairly close with Edwards family, known as the Cullen's. She has no problem knowing they're in fact vampires though Rosalie Cullen, one of Edwards adopted sisters does not approve of he and Bella. Hopefully that will smooth over soon.

Sample Post:"I'm pregnant." It seemed the moment that those two words were mumbled, had given him enough time to pack his few belonging's and walk out the door.
Had she even asked him to stay, to talk this over with her? It was nothing but a blur at this point. She remembered her feet feeling as if they were glued to the floor, yet at the same time remembering chasing him into the rainy streets. Either of these could be false.
Her feet took minutes to regain movement as her eyes scaled the now empty apartment. Never cleaned, only now she realized just how disgusting it was. Perhaps it was his charm and smooth talking that made it seem beautiful, or perhaps it was the hallucination of love that filled her eyes. Where was her hero? The man that told her he'd always be around, that he would take care of her better than anybody ever could? For days she just knew that he would come back, with roses and chocolates and apologies of his actions. Making adorable excuses about hows cared he was to be a father. She imagined his trembling hands as he passed her bags of chocolate goodies, all things she might crave. Brownies, Ice cream, everything in the pregnancy books, which he had studied. This thought was the only smile she wore for that week.
As the small supply of food they had bought together came to an end, panic and reality began to sink in. She had no job, no money, no boyfriend and no food. She was completely alone in this mess and had no one to protect her. No mother to comfort her, no brother to go after the man that damaged her only days before. Not even a neighbor to rely on for an egg to cook in the morning. Out of pure desperation, she opened the last cabinet door only to find his last dose. Maybe if she used this like he did, he'd come back to her. He'd see that she'd rather have him in her life than some baby she didn't even know. That she wanted him and only him, and the life that they started together.
Two, Five, Seven... They felt like candy as they tumbled down her throat, though tasted almost bitter and chalky. The water in the tap was brown, and yet the potential suicide threat deemed it too disgusting to drink as she swallowed the drugs. Irony would set in years later. How fast would these things take to work? Would they even kill the baby? These questions filled her head as her body hit the floor and dreams of the perfect life filled her head. Her true love, her baby girl and her family surrounding her at Christmas as everyone opened gifts they had bought one another. There was laughter, and warmth in the dream.
Opening her eyes and scanning the cold, lit room of the hospital... The warmth was gone... And so was the baby.
