Occupation:
She's a model currently signed to The Society Management New York, Storm London and Elite Paris modelling agencies
Haven is the second child, and only daughter, of Paul David Hewson, and Eileen Kingsley. Although Eileen had made a name for herself in the acting business, it was Paul, who was the more well known as the two. Few people know him by his birth name, though, and he's more commonly recognized as "Bono", the lead singer of U2, one of the most popular and influential rock bands of the last 30 years. For the first six years of her life, Haven had everything she could wish for, and more. She was shielded from any of her parents' wrongdoings, was spoiled rotten, and had a great older brother to spend time with. However, when her mother's affair was exposed by the media, their family structure seemed to fall apart. Her mother ended up leaving their family completely, not even pursuing a case in court to obtain custody of their children. Even to this day, her father insists that Eileen wasn't a bad mother and was just brainwashed by her new husband, who was nearly a Tom Cruise wannabe with his "crazy" Scientology ideologies, but Haven has grown to believe that the woman was horrible. Who wouldn't think that, of someone who literally abandoned her family, and never tried to reach out to them again, despite still living in the same community as them?

Secret(s):
Her sexuality isn't a secret to anyone who actually knows her well, but it's not something that the media is privy to, and she's okay with it staying that way. Additionally, as much as she likes to act like she's in control of being out of control, she isn't. She's almost developed an addiction, of sorts, to her partying lifestyle, and she can't get a grasp on it anymore.
Confident: Haven has a a strong sense of self. She knows who she is, and she's not afraid of being herself. She's comfortable in her own skin and has thick skin when it comes to criticism or harassment. That's not to say that she doesn't feel things and that she's invincible to everything, but she's pretty good at not letting the haters get to her.
Vibrant: You know those people who seem to light up the room with their energy? Haven is one of them. She always seems to find a way to make her presence known, which can be a good and a bad thing, depending on the time and the place, but there's no denying that she's full of life, and in general, full of positive vibes. She likes having fun, laughing, and just being happy, and her tendency to frequently be animated and energetic reflects that.
Personable: Socializing is definitely a specialty of hers. She doesn't find small talk to be pointless of boring, and has no trouble engaging in conversation with strangers.
Trustworthy: The advice that she will have to offer you might not always be the best, but if there's one thing you can trust in Haven, it's that she will keep your secrets and act loyal to you, if you and her are on that level of friendship. She's not someone who's going to stab your back or leave you hanging if you're a friend of hers.
Seductive: Well, at least she thinks that this is a positive trait. When your boyfriend (or girlfriend) starts hitting on her in response to it, you probably won't think the same, but there's no denying that Haven has a sort of flirtatious charm to her. She likes to joke that "Oops!...I Did it Again" by Britney Spears is her theme song because her natural demeanor frequently leads people into thinking that she's hitting on them or has serious interest in them, when in reality, she's the last person who's interested in romance or a relationship. She's very sensual, but she's not looking to be tied down to anything involving feelings.
Character Flaws:
Selfish: She will deny it until the day that she dies, but when it comes down to it, Haven is selfish. She puts herself first in situations where it's understandable to do so, for self-preservation reasons, but she also puts herself first in almost any other situation, too. She's not proud of it, and a lot of the time she does realize that she's acting selfishly, but she takes it personally when people put their own needs before her own wants.
Impulsive: This trait is one that has recently gotten Haven into a lot of trouble. A lot of people like to call themselves impulsive, but they're impulsive to the same degree that a person who jaywalks is a criminal. When it comes to Haven, though, she really fulfills the meaning of the world. If something is suggested and sounds remotely fun or beneficial to her, she's going to pledge her support for it and go through with it without even second guessing it. Consequences are non-existent in that moment, and oddly, she always ends up baffled once the poor choice she made leads to them. She finds it to be extremely difficult to say "no" to things, or even think them through.
Unforgiving: It ties into her selfishness in a sense, but Haven is the kind of person who really struggles with forgiveness. She can't understand or stand the thought of anyone wronging her or breaking her trust, and then her just welcoming them back into her life with open arms. That would make her look like a fool, and she certainly doesn't consider herself to be stupid. It's unfair, in respect to how Haven has definitely messed up more than once in her life, so she knows what the power of forgiveness is, but she just doesn't like applying it to her own relationships. Just like she values the trust others put in her, she values trust in her friendships, and dislikes the idea of anyone breaking that and still calling themselves a friend of hers.
Unfiltered: Physically, she fits into the high society well. She adheres to the social standards of beauty, and if she feels like it, she can act regal and poised. However, putting in the effort to act that way happens maybe 1% of the time, and the other 99% of the time, she's unfiltered and crude. She has a sarcastic and inappropriate sense of humor and has a tendency to offend people with things that she thinks are just harmless jokes.
Likes:
Clothes, night clubs, vodka mixed with just about anything, rain (who in California doesn't?!), In & Out, exercising, yoga, sunsets, sour candy, ice cream, being cooked for, knowingly breaking the rules, adrenaline rushes
Dislikes:
Cheap liquor, romance and serious relationships, homophobia, scary movies, pets (she can tolerate them, but she's not okay with your Golden Retriever licking her face, or your cat attacking her shoelaces), her mother, paparazzi, police, being expected to be "the bigger person"
Fears:
The idea of drowning is absolutely horrifying to her. She's completely fine swimming in pools or the ocean on a calm day, and is actually quite well at swimming, but rough waters scare her. Additionally, she's not a fan of boats (big ones or kayaks and smaller boats), because the thought of them sinking or flipping over with her trapped inside really scares her. Though it doesn't seem that way, she definitely is scared of getting into "serious" legal trouble and having to go to jail, or worse, killing someone. Date rape drugs, drinking so much that she can't remember what happened, and spiders also make it onto her list of fears.
Aspirations:
Haven follows such a strong "live in the moment" mantra, that she really doesn't have any long term goals. She supposes that she wants children at some point, and getting married would be nice too, but she's not one of those people who are set on living a certain lifestyle that's been planned out since they were fourteen. She just goes with the flow, and takes things as they come.
