Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.

Addyson's family consists as following. Her mother, her father, an older half-brother that still lives with them, and one that doesn't, an older sister that moved a town over, and a younger sister that is dead, dying of sickness at a young age. Her mother married her father, a rich man, and together had three daughters. The third one became very ill at a young age, and died when Addy was 7. Her father divorced his first wife, and his first son moved in with Addyson's family once he graduated high school. He currently attends college nearby, and is Addyson's designated driver until she gets her license.
Growing up, Addy was a generally happy child. She was cute and very much loved by her family, and looked up to her sister. She's four years younger than her sister, and the two have had their fair share of fights. Her sister was often annoyed at Addy always seeming to follow her around, but she just wanted to be like her. Eventually her sister realized that, and Addy also grew into her own person. When Addy was 5, her mom had another daughter. She was born a bit early, and had medical problems since she was born. Though Addy was very young, she does have a few memories of her younger sister and wonders what she would've been like.
Addy attended high school (after being home schooled for a bit) which her sister had already been going to. She graduated when Addy was going into her freshman year. You could possibly say Addy followed in her footsteps, because her older sister had also been a part of a socialite clique. Their family wasn't one for being leaders really, so neither of the girls were queens. Her older sister was much more outspoken though, and well known around the campus. The Anthonys are a well respected family, and even her two older half brothers were well known. The family themselves are very wealthy, and they never had any financial troubles that the kids knew of. Her father is a very powerful man, and constantly had work and business trips. That wasn't to say she didn't really see her father, because whenever he was home all of the kids would have some sort of "family bonding" time. Her mother, a lovely woman who truly loved her husband, didn't ever like feeling useless. Instead of hiring a chef, her mother took many cooking classes and still made all the meals for their household. They still had a maid service though, because she wasn't the best cleaner.
In her freshman year of high school, Addyson found the attraction of many boys. She was slightly surprised, because she'd never had that kind of attention before. Her sister had just showed her how to really use make up, and what to wear to "be cool", and you could say she was somewhat of a knock out then.
College was pretty much the same for her, but she blended into the background more easily. She's not one to be very outgoing or outspoken but she's easily liked because people can endlessly talk to her. Her mother was an Alpha, and so Addy had no trouble getting in as a legacy.

Personality:
Addyson is a sweet girl when you first meet her. She's quick with a friendly smile, and easily compliments you. She is polite and graceful, and has an elegance to her that makes her appear very poised. But, there's mystery in her eyes, and slyness in her smile. Some people can tell there is much, much more than a kind innocent girl. If you knew her personally, she can sometimes be quite the handful.
Don't let her light steps, and charming laughter fool you too easily. She would easily seem like a girl you'd put on the good side, but she can be very dark. There's other sides to her very different than those that she shows. Her lovely exterior sometimes gets the best of people. This is not to say she's actually evil, no. She looks out for herself above all. She's just mischievous, and a bit curious, you may have to keep close attention to her because she's not afraid to sacrifice you to save herself.
The beautiful girl is not only witty and clever, but intelligent as well even humorous sometimes, though she mostly doesn't have much of a sense of humor. She can carry a conversation well enough if the person is willing to, and she's easy to open up to, though she doesn't open up herself. Though by looking at her you may assume she's an average girl even, she's very observant, and is probably watching your every move. Being very attentive, she tries to always be aware of what's going on, and she analyzes situations carefully.
She's unique, and different in her own way. Her apathetic nature may come off as careless and lost, but actually she's just pretty relaxed. You could probably say anything to her and nothing would tell you she was caught off guard, even if she was. She isn't one for showing many emotions, a smirk here and there, but mostly a bored demeanor. Though she seems to always be off in her own world, one that even dreaming couldn't get you close to, she never comes off as ditzy or anything along those lines. She's one of those people you feel as if you can tell anything to, and the secret will be kept. But, in actuality she'll probably end up using your secret against you. She loves gossip, as her own dirty secret. The thrill of knowing things no one else does excites her, and makes her feel powerful. In one note she could take your reputation down. Even if you don't tell her a secret, she's nosy enough to probably find out anyway.
She's a bit aloof and sometimes falls back around her friends. This doesn't mean she goes unnoticed. She's very noticeable in a way that intrigues some. Her beauty is somewhat of a "mask" because of the way she acts. She's very reserved and mysterious, and doesn't say too much. She wouldn't be labelled shy ever, but she only speaks when she has something to say, or she's spoken to. Other than that she doesn't feel the need to add in to a conversation.
She carries herself highly, her confidence is surprisingly impressive for how quiet she seems. She's bold and usually has everyone in the room turning to look at her. She's always been wealthy like many of the others in her school, and sometimes takes that for granted. She occasionally forgets that others have their own lives too, because she's often wrapped up in her own. Her selfishness comes from her always being treated like a princess, what she's used to.
She likes her place at the top of the social ladder, and though she's a bit different than the others she does what she has to do to keep her place. Backstabbing isn't beneath her if she feels it's what she has to do. She's a lion watching her prey, studying them before she makes a kill. She's a bit odd when it comes to romance, and occasionally will give into relationships because of the drama of it all. Stealing your boyfriend is a large possibility. But, she doesn't easily fall for someone. She just likes to play games.
She's a graceful, delicate being overall.
Greatest joys in life:
Looking at the sky, almost anytime of day. Feeling like there's more to life than what she's currently doing, and generally being part of something much bigger than her.
Greatest fears:
Losing her place in the Alphas
Alligators
Not having friends, fake or real
Never finding love
Life philosophy:
All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Thoughts on Greek Life: It's unsure whether Addy really wanted to be in a sorority or not, but here she is. She enjoys the social life with the parties and countless people to meet. She likes the drama and the gossip and the intertwined relationships. She likes being on the inside. She's proud of being an Alpha. If you were to wonder what originally got her there, it would be her family. Her sister and her mother were both Alphas, and thus it was legacy and persuasion that got her to join. Addy is arguably a pushover, but it's more as she dislikes conflict and is a generally open person. She enjoys trying new things and will take almost anything that falls into her lap.
