☞Personality☜
{"Hippie", Idealist , Out There, A Dreamer, Stubborn}
The most obvious part of little Miss. Graham here is her love of the environment and the Earth itself! She loves everything on the Earth from the beautiful flowers to the gorgeous yet beastly animals that live on it. This is probably the one thing she would give her own life for. Everyone is passionate about something, her passion is about the mother Earth that gives her, her purpose in life; To protect the creatures that cannot protect themselves. Too bad she cannot be that way about most other human beings... You see, she acts like she doesn't care. Like she doesn't have a single speck of kindness in her little body, which is not true. she loves other people once she finds something good about them... Which may take time but what ever. If they really want to be friends, they'll put up with her "hippie" ways as people have put it.

On another note, this girl was never or could never be just one thing, she has many different parts of her personality that make her who she is. To some, she comes off as adventurous and naive girl, like a girl who knows basically nothing and is too trusting in these times. And doesn't really know what she wants in life other then to protect animals. To others, she's the calculating, sarcastic, and overall cold-heated vegan who judges people souly on their beliefs being different from her own, unable feel an empathy for others. Willing to do close to anything to save animals. However, the "tree hugging-lettuce eating-animal saver freak" isn't one or the other. She's both. Mars is true to her heritage and the way she was raised even if she isn't loyal completely to her "parent" and family. She is as passionate, caring, and strong as her mother, Evangeline. She's a dreamer just like her mother was and in some cases, she's far more curious than she should be. She is open and adventurous. And she is not afraid of the unknown like a lot of other people are which may make her sound like crazy person. But, she welcomes it, she think without it, even now, than we would still be living in caves. So yea, She could be called a dreamer.

She loves to dream! The eighteen year old loves to believe that if she wants to do something then maybe, just maybe.... she can actually do it. Some people believe that she is a little.... Out There and maybe she is but, hey that's her. Along with this, She's an Idealist who loves and always pursue high hopes, and dreams, and goals. Never shooting down another person's dreams no matter what they are. Again like her mother, she is optimistic, sue her; But the way she sees it it's better to feel everything and think everything is possible than to feel nothing at all and think nothing can be better. It makes her believe that, there's a light at the end of the tunnel. This fact leads her to sometimes thinks too much, a habit she's been trying to break. But, for the last nineteen years it has not been able to be broken. But like her father was she is determined, protective, and a leader. She is not one to take pity from anyone about anything and isn't above snapping on someone who sees her as inferior to them. And, she lives to prove those types of people wrong. Which has made her foster father very proud. Something that she has always wanted to place from him; pride and acceptance.


The city girl is, in two words, cynical and sarcastic. She's got a sharp tongue, and is always ready with a quick comment or a sarcastic quip, though she never means to cause real harm to anyone even if they hurt her first. The girl is also one to always throw herself into everything she does even if that means having to keep at it for hours on end. Like her protest she has done ever since she was able to think for herself. And with those years, she has always hated to lose or being shut down, just thinking about losing makes her pissed off no matter what it is. But, with having good quality she does have a few bad ones just like every other human being who has ever walked the Earth. She is a very cynical person. Never believing that someone is a true and honest as they tell her. She believes that everyone is always out to hurt her or find out/expose the secret that she's been trying to hide from everyone. She thinks that people only want something from her and then are going to leave her high and dry which is something she is not okay with. So, she tries to push them away. Most of the time it works to an expense but other just stick to her because they prove themselves. Another rather unlovely quality of hers is that she has a strict schedule for herself. Which has made her stricter on herself than how her parents were which is hard to believe but it is true. She has much control over herself and her decisions, always being the one to think of the outcomes. This is the part of Arch that she needs to feel as if she has done something with her life and that everything that happened to her in her life means something.

☞Relationship History☜
When she moved to Arizona for her freshmen year, she was seen as that weird and strange girl with the long blonde hair. And she didn't have many friends but she had one friend that mattered to her and that was [Boy 5]. He was one of the few nice ones and before she knew it, she and he were close friend, best friends maybe. But, more than that she started falling for him. At first she tried to hide it, being afraid that he wouldn't feel the same way. That is until the summer before their junior year that she finally decided to tell him how she felt it was then that she found out that he was going away for the summer. And she promised that once he got back that she would be with him. But, life threw a curve ball at her, that was the summer where she went to a concert and went deaf. All she wanted was her best friend but he was never there which made her turn to Darren Ramirez for comfort. During their time, she sadly had forgotten about her and [Boy 5]. Not that she wanted to but, Darren was just there at the right time. Which made her fall hard and fast for him. It wasn't until [Boy 5] returned that her feelings began to return for him, not enough for her to break up with her boyfriend but enough for her to think about it. She told him that she was happy with her boyfriend but he still tried. It wasn't until she found out that he was with [Girl 2] that she lost all respect for him and told him that any chance of them being together was gone. Yet, even now after falling deeply in love with her boyfriend does she still go back and wonder what it would be like if [Boy 5] would have stayed that summer.

☞Sample Post☜
From Coven, Cliques, and Hexes
She could see Atreyu's smile go down as he took his arm from over her shoulders and grabbed her hand pulling her through the crowd. What was he doing? She looked as people were looking towards the pair. Some with envy, while others had small smiles on their face. "Chev, what are you doing?" She asked him as he took her to the garden. She could feel the warm air go around her as the sun shined down on them. She looked up as the shade of the old oak came over them. She still remembered the day that changed her. The day that she found the one she wanted to spend her life with. He would talk to her whenever he saw her and sit next to her whenever he had the chance. At first she had no idea why he cared for her to talk to him so much. From the look of it, lots of people talked to him. Why did it matter if she did? Until one day, she finally thought that talking to him would make him go away.


It didn't. But, that day she found out that he wasn't the playboy she made him out to be. He was more. As he put his arms around her waist putting on the branch, she just thought how they didn't have time for this. She watched as he brought himself into the tree next to her. She rolled her eyes as she looked at him. "Atreyu, this isn't funny. We have to go back or we might get in trouble. And, I can't get in trouble about th--" She said before he interrupted her. β€œAngel...Don't ever feel sorry about that.” At that moment she lost her train of thought and just listened to what he had to say. "Angel?" She heard the birds fly out of the tree, probably felling the pair sitting right below them. When he looked her in the eyes, she saw something different about them. She couldn't put her finger on it. But, it was just different. β€œI would take a thousand years of beatings and pure torture from that insane bitch if it meant that you could be safe and happy." She smiled as she moved a piece of her hair out of her face.


What he said next.. made her think it was just a dream. β€œAmarina Yani King. You have absolutely no fucking idea how much I love and care for you. If I would have died that day protecting you, I would have died happy knowing that at least I tried. And my spirit would stay with you always. You're my heart and my world, Rina. I don't know what I'd do if I ever lost you. You mean more to me than anything and anyone else in this world. She just looked at him, seeing it he was trying to mess with her. To mess with her heart, but looking at him. He looked as if he was telling truth as he always did. Maybe with the exception of Heath, but that's a total given. She cracked a soft chuckle as he continued to pour his heart out to her. "And I know that I don't have exactly the cleanest slate when it comes to my reputation around here, but I want to change that. I want to settle down. This past entire year, I haven't even gone to a single party. I haven't kissed anyone. I haven't had sex. I barely do anything outside of studying, working out, practicing, and hanging out with you. I'm sure that you already know, but I'm the one that's been leaving you breakfast and a lily every morning.” She quickly looked him in the eyes. All along she had been wondering who was sending her breakfast every morning. At first she was thinking it was Jason and even went on and on about it for month. But, then she thought that wasn't something Jason would do.

So, she had to go back to space one to try and figure it. And, sadly, Cheveyo was the first one she marked out. Knowing, that he wouldn't feel that way for her. β€œA white lily means 'I am worthy of you'. Amarina – I hold you when you're hurt and brush your tears away. I'm always the one to nurse you back to health when you feel like shit. You know that I would literally do anything for you just to make you crack a smile. I...just. I don't know.” It was true. He was always the one there for her. The first one she called when she needed a shoulder to cry on or someone to taker care of her when Divinia would give her an illness.

At this point. Her heart was his. He was the one who held it. And, always would be. Until he said something that let her know she was the holder of his. β€œI love you, Angel.” She looked frantically at him as he moved one of his hands to her waist so he could be closer to her. Before she knew it, he had kissed her with his baby soft lips. She was surprised as he kissed her with more passion than she ever thought he held for her or for anyone. As if he wanted to eat the vanilla lip gloss off of her lips. She at first fluttered her eyes, having to realize just what was happening. After a second, she allowed her eyes to close and let her hands go along his jaw and one on his chest, She didn't want to let go of him. Ever. She wanted to stay there with him, with her feet lightly brushing his... forever. The reason why she didn't want to leave now was because that was her first kiss. The first time in her life that she felt like someone actually loved her. Someone who wasn't going to leave her side. When she ran out of air she pulled back and bit on the bottom of her lip before letting a smile go across her face. She looked at him. "I love you too, Cheveyo." She said softly before moving as close as she could to him and took her hands away from his hair and returned them to her sides. She looked him in the eyes before taking one of her hands and intertwining her fingers with the hand he had softly placed on her cheek. She took his hand off of her face and put it to their side, with her fingers tightly holding on to his. "You are my guardian angel. And, that is never going to change. I-- I want to be with you... You do want to be with me.. Right?" She said as she pleaded him with her dark, almost black eyes. She prayed that the answer she had in her mind was the answer he was going to say. And, you would think after them admitting their love for one another that she was for sure. But, nothing was ever set in stone with Amarina not even Areyu.

☞Sweater Weather ♦ The Neighbourhood☜
All I am is a man
I want the world in my hands
I hate the beach
But I stand in California
With my toes in the sand

Use the sleeves of my sweater
Let's have an adventure
Head in the clouds but my gravity's centered
Touch my neck and I'll touch yours
You in those little high waisted shorts, oh

She knows what I think about
And what I think about
One love, two mouths
One love, one house
No shirt, no blouse
Just us, you find out
Nothing that we don't wanna tell you about, no

'Cause it's too cold
For you here right now
So let me hold
Both your hands in the holes of my sweater

And if I may just take your breath away
I don't mind if it's not much to say
Sometimes the silence guides our minds to
Move to a place so far away

The goose bumps start to raise
The minute that my left hand meets your waist
And then I watch your face
Put my finger on your tongue
'Cause you love the taste yeah

These hearts adore
Everyone the other beats hardest for
Inside this place is warm
Outside it starts to pour

Coming down
One love, two mouths
One love, one house
No shirt, no blouse
Just us, you find out
Nothing that I wouldn't wanna tell you about, no, no, no

'Cause it's too cold
For you here right now
So let me hold
Both your hands in the holes of my sweater

'Cause it's too cold
For you here and now
So let me hold
Both your hands in the holes of my sweater

Whoa, whoa...

Whoa, whoa, whoa...

Whoa, whoa, whoa...

Whoa, whoa, whoa...

Whoa, whoa, whoa...

Whoa, whoa...

'Cause it's too cold
For you here right now
So let me hold
Both your hands in the holes of my sweater

It's too cold
For you here right now
Let me hold
Both your hands in the holes of my sweater

And it's too cold,
It's too cold,
The holes of my sweater...
☞Don't You (Forget About Me) ♦ & Simple Minds☜
Won't you come see about me?
I'll be alone, dancing you know it baby

Tell me your troubles and doubts
Giving me everything inside and out and
Love's strange so real in the dark
Think of the tender things that we were working on

Slow change may pull us apart
When the light gets into your heart, baby

Don't You Forget About Me
Don't Don't Don't Don't
Don't You Forget About Me

Will you stand above me?
Look my way, never love me
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down

Will you recognise me?
Call my name or walk on by
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down, down

Don't you try to pretend
It's my feeling we'll win in the end
I won't harm you or touch your defenses
Vanity and security

Don't you forget about me
I'll be alone, dancing you know it baby
Going to take you apart
I'll put us back together at heart, baby

Don't You Forget About Me
Don't Don't Don't Don't
Don't You Forget About Me

As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
When you walk away

Or will you walk away?
Will you walk on by?
Come on - call my name
Will you all my name?

So begins...

It was around seven in the morning when an alarm went off, disturbing Rhapsody's sleep. She jolted up hearing Simple Mind's song, Don't You Forget About Me continuing to play on full blast before she reached under her pillow to shut her new phone off. She yawned before snuggling back in her bed, just now remembering that her boyfriend, Darren was sleeping next to her. She sighed and let out a smile before kissing his jaw. "Good morning." She said softly before

As she waited for him to finally wake up, she could hear that outside her door was silent which is just what she wanted. Her parents were suppose to be away until later that night. They have been away for almost a week for their anniversary and for that week, Darren had been staying with her for a couple of those nights. Her sister had found out the second night after seeing the teenage boy's car not far from their house, but she promised not to tell her brothers or their parents. Knowing that if any of the men in their family found out that both Rhapsody and Darren would be in trouble by both of their families. Knowing Peter Graham though, Rhapsody knew that her father would cause the most trouble. Blaming, Darren for the whole thing like he always did whenever Rap did something he didn't approve of.

She looked at the time, 7:04 a.m. The bohemian girl sat up in her bed and let out a loud yawn, that she hoped her boyfriend didn't hear, and got out of her bed. Walking to her bathroom, she grabbed out her outfit for the day and tossed it one the sink watching her shorts slip to the floor. She turned on the water and hopped in, hoping to get done before Darren woke up. Did it matter that he saw her in nothing but a towel? No, but she still wanted to get dressed and be able to have her make up on as soon as she could.

After not even ten minutes, Rhapsody was done and looking in the mirror to check her reflection. She pulled down on her shorts a bit in order to make them look longer just in case one of her brothers were still home. She spun around once more before smiling at her outfit choice for the first day back. She looked at her boyfriend and walked over to him. She sat on his hard chest and leaned down to give him a long but, gentle kiss. It wasn't until she heard her door open that she pulled away. When she pulled away and she saw her brother, Xavier there she had no idea what to say. "What the Hell?! Jackson! Get over here."

"No! Jackson, don't come here." Rhapsody shouted to the room next to her. She pushed her brother out of her room when he tried to get closer to Darren. "Get out. Get out of my room." She closed the door behind her and looked at her brother with an annoyed look on her face. "What the hell is he doing here, Rhapsody? Did he spend the night?... Oh dear God don't tell me you..--"

"No, of course not! Look, we just watched a couple of movies and we fell asleep. That's all." Her brother looked at her, trying to see if she was lying. He looked her up and down before sighing. "Do you know what dad would if he found out?"

"If I found out what?"

Rhapsody heard her father's deep voice along with the front door shutting behind their mother and father. "Nothing." Rhapsody said down the stairs as she looked at her brother who just shrugged. "Oh really?" Then next thing the teenagers heard was their father's loud and steady footsteps coming up the stairs. Luckily he was first going to his room to drop off his and his wife's bags on to their large king size bed. Giving the siblings enough time to think of a plan. "Help me." The small girl whispered to her older brother who looked at her like she was crazy. "What am I suppose to do?" He whispered towards her. She shrugged. "Anything. Just don't let him see Darren right now."

"Fine, get him looking decent and I'll distract dad." Xavier walked towards their father's and mother's room to see the two of them unpacking their bags and putting their clothing back in their specific places in their large walk in closet. What Xavier was saying, Rhapsody had no idea. The parents' room was too far away from her room. Rhapsody went back in her room and looked at her boyfriend. "Aw, you look so cute." She told him before remembering the plan. "Okay, so my parents are back a day early and they're here right now. Xavier is distracting them so that you can sneak downstairs, knock on the door, and make it seem like you just got here." She said with an embarrassed smile. She hated doing this but, she didn't want to get in trouble and her father was already skeptical of Darren and his intentions with his daughter, why give him even more reason to not trust the young man?

She wrapped her arms around her boyfriend and kissing his cheek softly. When she pulled away, she sighed. "I am really sorry, baby. I just... I just don't want my dad to hate you and if he finds you, he will make me leave you. And, I can't do that to you." She let go of him and just looked at him, hoping that he wasn't angry at her.

Not once had Darren really noticed his girlfriend's alarm go off nor did he know that his girlfriend had sneaked out of bed and went to get ready while here he was being lazy and sleeping in. It wasn't until he heard his girlfriend open the door to the bathroom and come back into the room that he actually woke up, yawning softly so that her brother's wouldn't hear. That was the last thing they needed was for Rhapsody to get in trouble for having him over when she wasn't supposed to. Of course before he really knew it and just as he had planned to get up after kissing his girlfriend inconveniently one of her brother's walked in then of course her dad was home early as well. While Darren wasn't as worried about Rhapsody's brother finding out he was worried about her dad finding Darren there. As soon as Rhapsody was on her feet so was Darren. He looked around a little confused about what he should do. Grabbing his jeans for the day he fled to the bathroom where he changed from his pj pants into his jeans for the day. Quickly leaving the bathroom he went to get his shirt where he finished up changing out of his pj's -which had consisted of mainly sweat pants and a light t-shirt- into his school clothes. Noticing his girlfriend walking in he rubbed his eyes tiredly then smiled at her when she began to approach him. Slipping his arms gently around her waist he nodded, remembering what the plan was detail by detail. While this didn't happen often he still made sure he knew what he was doing so that he didn't give Rhapsody's dad any more of a reason to not like him. "I kind of figured we would get caught some time. Don't worry about it babe." He said to her softly before kissing her gently on the lips and went back to making sure he looked fairly decent. He slipped on his leather jacket, combing his hair and then running a hand through his hair to make it look only a little messy. Quickly he stuffed anything he had brought (which wasn't much) into his bag, zipping it closed he grabbed his phone and looked at her carefully. A small smile crept onto his face as he pulled one of the straps of his book bag onto his shoulder.

"Ninja time," He joked then shook his head as he brushed by her, kissing her cheek as he carefully snuck from the room, praying that her dad or her mom didn't see him as he snuck through the house. He tried to sneak down the stairs as fast as he could though not fast enough that he would accidentally hit a squeaky spot. Or at least that is what he had hoped. Sqquuueeaaakkk, Tipping his head back he almost let out an angered groan as he did what he was trying his very best to avoid. He really hoped that her dad hadn't heard that mess up. Quickly he made his way down the stairs and out the door of Rhapsody's house, closing it quietly behind him. About half way down the walk way he turned around and started walking once again back towards the door of Rhapsody's home. For one he felt like an idiot doing this but also he felt a little jumpy because of what just happened. He jumped at the sound of his notification on his phone going off. Letting out a soft needed sigh he took out his phone, looking down at it and reading the text message from his best friend while he knocked on the door. After
knocking on the door he texted back his best friend:

To: Percy
Percy! Well I kind of just woke up, it's a long story. You got back just now? Will you be at school today?


After typing up the text he clicked his phone off and slid it into his pocket. Adjusting the bag on his shoulder he looked up, tapping his foot and leaning from one foot to the other while he waited for someone to answer the door. Until then all he could really do was wait so that is what he did.

"I kind of figured we would get caught some time. Don't worry about it babe."

Rhapsody sighed softly. "I know, I know." She had a small pout on her face before he kissed her. She sighed and leaned against one of her blue walls as she watched him get ready. "Ninja time," Rap rolled her eyes as he kissed her cheek and snuck out of her room which was luckily right by the stairs. She peeked her head out of her door to see him sneaking out down the stairs. She walked towards her parents' room, hearing a loud squeak as she did. She softly facepalmed herself before sighly a bit too loud. "Rhapsody, Xavier told me what you did."

"Oh, I'm going to kill him." She cleared her throat before walking into the large master bedroom to see her brother smiling and his father doing the same. Only difference was that her brother was smiling nervously like he was begging her to help him out of the hole he must have dug himself into. "Xavier tells me that you're thinking of quitting your band. Is this true?" Rhapsody sent a glare towards her brother before looking back at her father. "Well sir, I mean I'm kind of considering it. Seeing that's it my senior year. I would like to focus on my studies more than anything. In order to get into your alma mater, you need to have good grades, right?" Peter Graham just nodded as his oldest daughter spoke to her. He knew that she didn't mean it but, it was good knowing that she was thinking about it. "You need great grades, not good grades to get into Princeton. And, I know you won't really leave your band but you do need to get your focus off of that boyfriend of yours and put it on your education."

Rhapsody didn't know what to say. Was he right? Yes, but she couldn't just leave the boy she was in love with. He was always there for her. Through everything and she never wanted to leave him. She messed around with her cochlear implant, the voices fading in and out as she did so. "Rhapsody, stop messing with that. I'm talking to you." Her hand quickly dropped to her side before nodding. "I know dad, I know. But, I can't just leave him. I love him and unlike everyone else in this house he doesn't treat me like a poor and wounded victim." Her brother was about to intervene knowing that her hearing was always a touchy subject for the family. While Rhapsody didn't see anything wrong with it her parents always were keeping a close eye on her. They gave her a curfew most nights, no loud music, and no more loud concerts. And on top of that, she was ordered to learn sign language even if she could read lips just fine. But, before the older brother could say anything, they heard the doorbell ring and her mother answer it. "Rhapsody, Darren's here. Come in, darling. She'll be down soon."

The blonde girl looked back at her father before speaking. "I don't mean to be rude, but I have to get going." She turned around before hearing her father. [b]"Have a nice day, sweetie. Make sure not to lose the implant again." Rhapsody rolled her eyes. "That was one time." She muttered under her breath before jogging down the wooden steps. She smiled towards her boyfriend before seeing her mother rush to the kitchen. "Have a nice day at school you two. And don't forget the hearing appointment was moved to tomorrow. " Her mother kissed her daughter's cheek before rushing towards the kitchen to grab Rap's medicine. She rarely used it but, she always kept it with her just in case and to make her parents happy. Rhapsody wrapped her arms around Darren's waist before whispering in his ear. "You are the worst 'ninja' I have ever seen." She pulled away from him just to see her father and brother glare towards her boyfriend before heading the the kitchen. She saw her father kiss her mother on the forehead before sitting in his regular seat near the kitchen counter. "I'll see you guys after school."

"Aren't you going to eat?"

"We'll get something either on the way or at school." She grabbed her backpack before opening the front door, letting the warm and dry air hit her bare legs. As she walked out she turned towards her boyfriend. "Babe, your car or mine?"

Darren stood at the front door, smiling at Rhapsody's mother when she answered the door. Rhapsody's mom was always the nicest one in the family in his opinion of course other than Rhapsody. Stepping into the house he looked around, thinking of how he had just been standing in this same house only like two minutes ago. He took out his phone while he waited for his girlfriend to come down. Adjusting his bag on his shoulder he looked over the few texts, two from his best friend while others from a couple guys on the wrestling team. Most of them texting mostly nonsense while others texting who knows what. He read the text from his best friend, smiling when he got the text about how he was coming to school. Right before he was about to text his friend back he received another text from his best friend. Quickly reading it over he listened for his girlfriend just in case she was coming down the stairs. When he knew she wasn't he texted Percy back.

To: Percy
Great! As for the story I will tell you later. You can rant all you want to me after I pick up Rhapsody, we get something to eat, and we get to school.


Darren hit send then looked up when he heard his girlfriend coming down the stairs, shifting from foot to foot he smiled at her. "You are the worst 'ninja' I have ever seen." A soft chuckle escaped Darren when he heard his girlfriend whisper that in his ear. He only responded with a single nod. As soon as she pulled away he kept himself from pulling her back towards him, especially after seeing the glare that he got from Rhapsody's father and brother. Seriously what had he done to deserve those glares? He looked away, frowning a bit he opened the door for his girlfriend. There was one last very brief conversation between his girlfriend and her mother before they were out the door. Once they were out the door he closed it behind them. "Babe, your car or mine?" He thought for a moment. "Mine," He answered then grinned at her a little. Quickly he scooped her into his arms and spun around with her in his arms. He carried her away from her home and towards his car that was parked a little ways away from her house.

"Where do you want to stop at for food? Do you even want to stop or do you want to just eat at school?" He questioned his girlfriend. Soon they began to near his car. With each step they got closer and closer to his car. Once they got to his car he put her down next to the passenger door of the car. Unlocking it he got into the driver's seat and started up his car. Once again he checked his phone for any messages from Percy. Once he was sure there were no texts he put his phone away and glanced over at his girlfriend with a small smile.
