Build
Although Hope only rises to a meager 5’5” and weighs in at an underwhelming 100 lbs, she has learned to hold her own. She’s a bit too skinny due to a bit of bulimia she developed after she was raped by a repair man that came to work on her house when she and her mom first moved in.
Hair/Eyes
Hope’s hair is a milk chocolate brown color that lays just below her shoulders when it’s curled (which it usually is). Her eyes match the color of her hair exactly.
In Depth
Hope doesn't carry herself with much confidence. She tends to try and hide within a crowd, and doesn't like the attention to be on her. When she walks, Hope tends to hunch her shoulders over and cross her arms: an effort to make herself smaller and unseen.

Personality
Before she was taken, Hope was a bright student. She loved reading and was volunteering at her local library. She was always full of life and had a great love for people, especially her mother. Now the light has been drained out of her. It's hard for her to smile and even harder to get out of bed. There's no life in her eyes or her smile anymore.
Likes/Dislikes
Likes:| Reading | Making People Smile | Chocolate |
Dislikes:| Being the Center of Attention | Liars | Mistreatment |
Habits/Flukes
She can be over protective, she bites her nails, and tends to grind her teeth when she gets nervous. Hope makes herself throw up when she thinks of the sexual abuse she's been through because it makes her feel gross about herself.
в a c ĸ g r o υ n d
A few weeks previous to her being brought to "The Barn", Hope and her mother moved into a neighborhood just outside of Atlanta. One day while her mom was at work, a worker that had been at the house the day before came to the door claiming he left his wrench upstairs. After leaving him at the door and going upstairs to retrieve the tool, the man followed her and had his way with her. Horribly ashamed and convinced she had done something to deserve the treatment, Hope kept it from her mother causing their relationship to crumble and for the teenager to feel utterly alone in the world. She thought of herself as disgusting so she began forcing herself to throw up each time she felt that nastiness crawl over her skin. As a way to deal with it, she started keeping a diary of everything that happened. Her mother found it hidden under her bed after she went missing.
As the months went by, she tried to spend as little time at the house as she could. She began volunteering for the library due to her love of books. The only issue was, in order to get home from her volunteer job, she had to take MARTA (the train that runs through Atlanta). One day on the way home, a cute young man came up to Hope on Marta and introduced himself as T. Each train ride Hope opened up to him about her life and vented about her mother. T earned her trust. After a few months of this, he asked her on a date, after which he took her back to his place where he said they were going to be attending a party. At the party, Hope was drugged, tied to a bed, and every man at the party took her for himself. The next morning she woke up and begged T to take her home but he refused and said that if she every tried to escape he would hurt her mother. So she's doing everything as he says and trying to stay on his good side.
