Distinct Markings
Arabelle has a small scar on her knee, from falling on the pavement as a kid, and a birth mark on the tip of her pinky, which oddly resembles the shape of a heart. She has two piercings in each of her ears, including her cartilage in her left ear. She has no immediate plans to get any tattoos, however; at least not at the moment.
Appearance
Standing just about 5”4, Arabelle is more on the short, fragile side of life, and it shows in her sweet and smooth curves, which form flawlessly to create the perfect figure. Although she doesn’t have the curves of a model, she could certainly be one, weighing barely over 110 pounds, on a good day. An unusual hazel colour for eyes accent her light blonde hair, which flows naturally in perfect curls down past her waist, although she tends to wear it straightened all the same.
Style wise, Arabelle tends to dress in the more ‘hipster’ style of life, sticking with waist high shorts, and floral printed tops, layered with a leather jacket, and Toms or boots, depending on the day. Arabelle is a huge fan of heels, and if given the chance will wear them with just about everything. Floral printed heels are another big plus for her, along with beanies and bags. She’s also a huge fan of accessories, her favourites being that of feather earrings, necklaces, and rings.
Likes
∞Her Acoustic Guitar∞
“I live with my guitar; it follows me wherever I go, regardless of where or who I’m with.”
∞Writing Music and Poetry∞
“I live for writing music and poetry. Usually, the words just come to me at the most random times, so I try and keep my book and a pen by me at all times.”
∞Floral prints∞
“I’m not afraid to admit that I am a bit of a hipster. Anything floral, shirts, skirts, shorts, all of it; I love it.”
∞Flirty girls∞
“Although I’m still unsure of my sexuality, I like it when a girl isn’t afraid to come up to me, and flirt.”
Dislikes
∞Loud music∞
“Okay, to clarify, I don’t mind loud music as long as it’s good loud music..”
∞Being called a child∞
“I feel like everyone always sees me as a child, and it drives me crazy. I think after what I’ve been through I deserve to be seen as an adult, or at least somewhat.”
∞Minnie∞
“…Nothing I’ve ever done has seemed to live up to her. Always prettier, getting into the best college, getting good grades, getting the best guys...Sometimes, I wonder what the hell my parents were even thinking when they decided to have a second child? The first one was obviously enough in their eyes.”
∞Tattoos∞
“I love to look at them on other people, but honestly, the thought of it just seems too painful. Piercings, on the other hand, I could deal with that!”
∞Rap music∞
“I will never understand the point of it, and really, I don’t want too. You can’t understand what they’re saying half of the time, anyways.”
Secrets
I| Secretly has a crush on Christopher.
II| She’s really into girls more than she is boys.
III| She’s gone out, behind her family and sisters knowing, experimenting with things she probably shouldn’t have.
Personality
Arabelle is really one of a kind. She’s sweet, funny, but also shy. She’s always had a hard time talking to new people, as she suffers from Social Anxiety Disorder, which is simply a fear of being around others and being judged by those people.
She’s a very loyal friend, though, to those that she considers a friend, and would do anything for a friend, or her family, even if she sometimes doesn’t show it. Arabelle tends to keep her feelings bottled up, and they pour out at the most random, and usually inappropriate times.
History
Growing up, Ara was always seen as the ‘shadow’ of her sister. Nothing that she ever did was good enough, and even now, she feels that way. Attending high school now, Ara never bothered with love and relationships, because she constantly questioned her sexuality and wasn’t sure who she was. Even now that she knows, she’s always secretly had a thing for Christopher, and kept to the hope that maybe something would happen between the two of them.
Dealing with the family problems hasn’t helped anything, so hearing about the trip that Minnie and her friends had been planning for so long, she knew that it would be the perfect time to ruin the time for Minnie, and make her feel how she’s been feeling her entire life, even after she went off to college.
Shadow||Ashlee Simpson
I was six years old
When my parents went away
I was stuck inside a broken life
I couldn't wish away
She was beautiful
She had everything and more
And my escape was hiding out and running for the door
Somebody listen please
It used to be so hard being me
Living in the shadow
Of someone else's dream
Trying to find a hand to hold but every touch felt cold to me
Living in a nightmare
A never-ending sleep
But now that I am wide awake
My chains are finally free
Don't feel sorry for me
All the days collided
One less perfect than the next
I was stuck inside someone else's life and always second best
Oh, I love you now 'cause now I realize
That it's safe outside to come alive in my identity
So if you're listening
There's so much more to me you haven't seen
Living in the shadow
Of someone else's dream
Trying to find a hand to hold but every touch felt cold to me
Living in a nightmare
A never-ending sleep
But now that I am wide awake
Then I can finally be
Don't feel sorry-
Mother, sister, father, sister, mother
Everything's cool now
Mother, sister, father, sister, mother
Everything's cool now
Oh, my life is good
I've got more than anyone should
Oh, my life is good
And the past is in the past
I was living in the shadow
Of someone else's dream
Trying to find a hand to hold but every touch felt cold to me
I'm living in a new day
I'm living it for me
And now that I am wide awake
Then I can finally be
Don't feel sorry for me
Don't feel sorry, don't feel sorry for me
Living in, living in, living in the shadow
Living in, living in, living in a new day
