Fears
-Despite being the sort who dislikes living life in the future rather than the present, Indigo is afraid that she will never accomplish anything in her life.
-Indigo is the sort of girl who picks up cockroaches and puts them outside, but she seems to have this bizarre fear of lizards, and freezes up at the sight of them.
-Indigo doesn't believe in any sort of after life, and this scares the hell out of her. It isn't death which frightens her, but the inevitable oblivion she perceives as following it.
-Finally, Indigo is frightened of the idea of a god, or a higher power. That's probably why she isn't religious- the thought of someone who has full control over you, and there being nothing you can do about it, scares her.
Quirks
-Indigo stands on one foot and grabs the lifted leg, like a stretch, when she's feeling impatient.
-When thinking, Indigo has the tendency to to lean on whatever is around, regardless of whether it is a wall, person, or trashcan. This occasionally leads to falling.
-She wears shoes as sparingly as possible, preferring to walk around barefoot.
-The girl hums, a bit like a bumble bee, when she's trying to suppress excitement about something.
Personality
When people conjure the image of a High School hippie, though they aren't really referred as that by too many anymore, they tend to imagine the sort of person who is calm, on drugs, and constantly trying to 'spread the love,' or some other stereotype like that. Now, Indigo is admittedly a rather relaxed sort of person, fitting the stereotype in at least that way. She comes off as an exceedingly mellow young woman, the sort that can take a few hits before some kind of pride steps in the way and intervenes. she isn't lacking in confidence or self respect, but she doesn't really see the point in feeding flames of insult and the like by rewarding them with a reaction. Thus, she has this tendency to merely smile at people who insult her, something which infuriates some and convinces others that she is some kind of dolt. Honestly, she could care less about how people react, so long as within that reaction is a ceasefire against herself. She isn't the sort to stand up and fight for herself, not openly anyway, because she knows that doing so stands the chance of only making things worse. So she prefers to step back and try to take a look through the eyes of others, using Atticus Finch as her role model in these ventures. Her philosophy is one of pacifism when an attack is against you, and defensiveness when it is against another. Yes, she will grin and bear it if someone treats her like shit, satisfying herself with only a few sly comments or by relieving nerves on a board, but if she sees another being bullied, the nice act is gone in a heartbeat.
Being a pacifist doesn't mean lacking triggers, after all, and she will always stand up for another, even if they don't want her to and even if they have only just before been insulting her. This has been a pattern of the girl's since middle school, when her father told her that one should protect the weak- even the mean weak. Ever since then, she has been the type who will jump in and try to split up a fight between two people, putting herself in danger, and who won't hesitate to pin a person against the wall if she thinks that they are bullying another person. Of course, even when angry her voice is calm, but there is a sort of softness, as though a quiet tone could keep her anger shoved down her throat, to her voice that is slightly scary. Of course, this a rarely seen thing, and for the most part she maintains her slightly lazy smile and calm demeanor, giving off the image of someone that will come to school, but would much rather be relaxing somewhere. Given how lazy she seems at first, many people are surprised to find that Indigo is a capable athlete in her own right, certainly able to handle her own on the cement and in the waves. Of course, this skill comes partially from a personality that isn't actually lazy- it is, rather, hardworking and determined.
When Indigo sets her mind to something, open-minded though she is, the young woman is difficult to deter, because she doesn't believe in making up your mind to do something and then quitting halfway through if you don't have a good excuse to do so. She's the girl who started piano lessons and kept doing them until she was twelve because she didn't want to just give in, even if she disliked the instrument, and wanted to learn to play the guitar instead. Once she has decided to help a person, they have gained a tireless ally who will see through their promise. This can backfire on her, of course, when she makes a promise to someone but finds it to be more than she had bargained for. Still, she is a person of honor, and will follow through all the same. She is an open-minded sort of person, who prefers to reserve judgments until there has been evidence to back them up, but despite this can be prone to her own sorts of bias. After all, she finds herself disliking the preps as an entity against her better judgment, which should tell her not to lump an entire group of people together. But that's just the nature of people- it's difficult to avoid generalizations entirely, afterwards.

History
Georgia Fell was born in California, but for the most part was raised in Hawaii. Her parents owned a restaurant there, a small diner to be more specific, and she grew up close enough to the ocean that she woke herself up each morning with a swim or, far more likely, a bit of surfing. The girl had been a surfer ever since she was young, taking after her elder sister, Elena. The two were inseparable, only a year apart, and competed in competitions together starting from a young age. All was relatively happy in the household, with small rough patches that every family has thrown in. Although Elena was older, Georgia began to surpass her sister in both love for surfing and in talent. Elena was drawn more to skating, and soon was found more on the halfpipe than riding the waves. While this did cause a lessening in the amount of time that they spent together, the two were still close. This is probably why it affected Elena so much when Georgia, at the age of eighteen, was in a car accident. There was no chance for her to continue surfing again, because the damage done in that crash would cripple Georgia from the waist down for the rest of her life. This caused a time of depression for her, though she went to university anyway- deciding to go to school on the mainland, as though she wanted to somehow escape everything by avoiding the island. It didn't work, and in general was probably a bad idea as it was merely escapism, but the attempt at running away did bring one positive thing: she met Daniel Green, a skater who was studying to be an accountant at the same school. They ultimately met, dated, and eventually married, though some time gaps existed between these events. When they were twenty-seven, and the two both had steady jobs -Daniel as an accountant, Georgia as the owner of a snack shop on the boardwalk- they had their first child: Indigo Green.
Indigo was raised with an ex-surfer for a mother and a skater for a father, and it was only natural that she would end up inheriting a love for the things that her parents were so passionate about. She's been skating since she was five years old and her father bought her her first little knee pads, and has been on the water since she was around seven years old. But, for the purposes of this, lets rewind back to the age of five. While Indigo was learning to skate and attending her first year of elementary school, her mother was pregnant once more, this time with a little boy that would ultimately be named Kellin. Thus, she became an elder sister on March 3rd, and an excessively doting one. She constantly wanted to hold the baby, but couldn't understand why the child never seemed to react to her when she called for it. Not until her parents explained to her, that is, that Kellin had been born without his hearing, and therefore would never be able to hear the ocean or put his ear against a conch and listen to the noises it makes. This made Indigo rather sad, to the point where she actually went into her room and cried for half an hour, until her parents managed to calm her down. She was a child of dynamic emotions, in fact, and could go from genuine weeping to giggling in seconds. Of course, many children are this way: she was in no way abnormal.
The family began to learn sign language soon after Kellin was born, and Indigo picked it up the fastest. This is, of course, because she was younger, and therefore her mind was more malleable for memorizing the new language. Once Kellin was old enough, he found it easiest to communicate with Indigo, though Daniel and Georgia had picked it up well enough as well. So the family began to grow and develop as a whole, as tends to happen with people so closely knit. When Indigo was ten, she taught her younger brother to skateboard, as she had been taught when she was five. At this point, she had certainly diverged from the girly groups in her elementary school, and the premature versions of what would become the high school cliques began to form. She found herself more with the kids who preferred to play outside and skate, or go to the beach and swim. Her group was the group of summer and sunshine, despite her own relatively pale skin. She was content with this, and remains content with this. Of course, Indigo remains the sort of person who sees obstacles as temporary, and believes that anything can be survived. She lived by this as a child, the sort to bounce back up every time she fell down. She hardly noticed as old friends grew distant and new ones took their places, because it was gradual and not troubling. She simply swam with the current.
For the most part, if someone were to ask about her life, Indigo would respond that it is uninteresting. These days, her brother is in middle school, with a special interpreter for his lessons, and she works on weekends and during the summer at her mother's snack shop. She skates, surfs, and takes naps in the grass as though they are part of a strict schedule that cannot be strayed from. She is taking Chinese as her world language, but remains fluent in ASL besides this. The only thing that appears really capable of making her angry is attacks on her brother, which she has a reputation for taking care of swiftly and soundly. As far as Indigo is concerned, life is good- and she's right. She considers herself as lucky as she is.

And time has told me
Not to ask for more
Someday our ocean
Will find our shore
So I`ll leave the ways that are making me be
What I really don't want to be
Leave the ways that are making me love
What I really don't want to love.
