Appearance
Twitch stands at 5'5 and is inherently slim, her fast metabolism makes it practically impossible for her to gain weight, something she's happy about because of the mass amounts of Cheetos and Coca-Cola she consumes while on a gaming binge. Her hazel eyes are more green than blue, but they change color depending on what she's wearing. She was a small, but infectious smile. In her right ear she has three lobe piercings and a cartilage piercing. In her left ear she has a rook piercing and four lobe piercings. She has a scar on her side from being hit by a car, two scars on the back of her legs because of an Achilles heel surgery, and a scar on the left side of her forehead from an incident involving a clock.
Clothing
Twitch has a fondness for bizarre leggings, humorous or random t-shirts and Doc Marten and cowboy boots. Her red leather jacket is her wardrobe staple. If she's feeling particularly girly, she ventures into the realm of sundresses, preferring a flowing high-lo skirt or a short dress with interesting cutouts.

Personality
Twitch has been anxious about everything since the day she can remember. Her anxiety casts a bit of fear and darkness into her everyday thoughts and she found that video games were a great way to escape the chaotic circles of her brain. She tries hard to cover it up, but she some part of her is constantly moving, whether its her jittering legs, tapping her fingers, or playing with her necklace, hence her nickname. Her anxiety has led to her smoking habit, but she tries as hard as she can to keep her consumption down by limiting herself to a new pack every three days. Twitch's obsession with mermaids and sea creatures came from the movie "The Little Mermaid". It was, and still is her favorite movie to this day. She loved it mainly because the main character had red hair like her.
Living among werewolves hasn't exactly improved her anxiety, there's an air of danger that surrounds them, but that doesn't change the fact she finds them fascinating. She doesn't want them all to perish, and she believes they deserve right just like every human... or humanoid being. She's not particularly vocal about her opinions, afraid of the retribution that may follow, but she attempts to maintain a friendly air towards them.
Twitch longs to overcome her anxiety, mainly because it's the thing that keeps her from perusing her main goals. She wants to be more outspoken, but every time she tries to vocalize an opinion that isn't commonly recognized, her fear of retribution and rejection causes her to choke. If she wasn't terrified by the prospect of drowning or being trapped in small spaces, she'd love to explore the seas, but until that moment, she's stuck with a marine biology degree that is gathering dust. Twitch also longs for more real life friends, because the social interaction that she gets from her online buddies isn't really doing it for her. Her only reachable goal is to collect every gaming console ever made and play every classic game that she can.
History
Harley Jane Accola was born to Marie and Gerald Accola on the 27th of June. She was and is the baby of the family and grew up being coddled by her mother, father and sister. Her sister in particular used her as her personal doll, dressing her up and making her over when ever she felt the need. There was a tragic incident when Harley was seven when her sister chopped off half of her hair with a pair of dull child's scissors, needless to say the end result was tragic. Her parent's made enough money to keep her and her sister happy. She would never forget the day she got her first GameBoy Color. She was eleven when she had her first panic attack. It was in the middle of the day at school during history class, she couldn't breathe and she began crying hysterically, trying desperately to catch her breath. Her parents began taking her to every psychologist or psychiatrist they could find. She was drugged beyond belief and when she was sixteen she became addicted to Xanax. After getting off the stuff she swore she would never be medicated again and used a variety of meditation practices and yoga to maintain as much balance in her mind as she possible can, which when it comes down to it isn't very much. Her sister never truly understood the plight that Harley went through, but she became Harley's biggest cheerleader and is the only one that can calm her down when her mind goes off. She moved in with her sister after finishing college, and currently is employed as a beta tester for video games.
