Description:
River is a dark haired, doe eyed girl, with thin lips and a round face. She stands at about 5'7, lithely in frame. She is often seen in old clothes much to large for her. Like long sun dresses, or long sweaters, with leggings. And she always wears old brown calf riding boots.
Personality:
River is a quiet girl, manic in appearance as if she tettering on the egde of sanity. She walks around with her head down, her hair is in stringy waves, as if she'd been sweating. Her eyes are sad and distrusting, watching everyone around her as if they were out to get her.
She has low self esteem, she lets people say what thet want about her, even letting them shove her around. She is anxious and fidgety, closed off and timid. Obviously, she keeps to herself, and the only solace she finds is in her dancing.
Skills:
Ballet on the fast track to becoming Prima Ballerina.
Weaknesses:
River doesn't trust her own thoughts, which makes her naive and gulibe. People can convince her of just about anything which can lead her into dangerous situations.
Brief History:River was a normal girl growing up, imaginative and creative. She found beauty in everything and loved to explore the world.
She loved being with her friends, and playing in the imaginary world they'd created: Otherworld. Where she met her friend -insert name here- protected her, mothered her and kept her happy. River's parents were straight-laced individuals, business minded and no nonsense and had the unfortunate luck of giving birth to a free spirited child. River would go often into Otherworld often, having fallen in love with it's beauty and wonder, laughing and playing with her imaginary friend. It was there she found her love of dance.
It was one day, she was enjoying herself so much that she ended up staying in Otherworld for days. When she returned, she found that her parents and the neighborhoods had been looking for her, she was a missing child. They hugged her and held her and asked her where she was. And she told them. "I was with my friend in Otherworld." Her parents thought the worse, believing maybe she was kidnapped, and horrible things had happened to her but her fragile child psyche twisted it into something fanciful. River was then subjected to therapy and medication, that she wouldn't take unless slipped into her food.
She would throw horrible fits trying to return to her beloved friend and her wondrous Otherworld, and would try running away, countless times. To the point, that her parents couldn't keep hold of her, and she was placed in a home for mental disturbed children. Eventually, after years and years, the playful happy girl that River once was, disappeared into the dark, manic, and frightened girl she is today. The only thing keeping her tethered to reality is dancing
