☩ Delving Deeper ☩
Personality: Marylin is very lovable, if that is a way to describe someones personality. She has a flair for anything colorful and dramatic, and will go out of her way to make someone happy. She loves to see the happy parts of every situation, no matter how horrible it is. She lives in the thinking that life is beautiful and deserves to be captured into photos. Her main feature, personality wise, would have to be her devotion- to her work, mostly, but to people too. Days have passed without proper sleep, just so she could finish a project. She has never been one to go with the current trends (though her work demands she know them and be able to successfully execute them) and has always been one to stand out, even though she doesn't realize she does. She just likes to be who she is at heart, nothing more and nothing less.

If someone were to just look at Marylin, just a passing glace even, they would describe her as "Energetic, but knowing". That is to say, she is very excitable and happy, 102% of the time, but she has a look in her eyes that seems like it can see your soul. She's never been the judging type, but she does choose her friends very carefully- she's never much liked uptight, prissy people, nor people who think they are above and beyond the rest of the world. In her job, she does tend to meet a lot of those people. Though, the few friends she has are her favorite people in the world. She would do anything for them, and hopefully they her.

History: Marylin has never been in the spotlight- rather, she was born just outside of it. Her father was a screenwriter- though not a very big-name one. For as long as she can remember she was on the sidelines, watching as stars rose and fell to fame. From a young age she showed a passion for photography, getting her first professional camera at only age 10. She never showed any wish to be famous, as her father always did. She loved to be an observer, but never one to be like the higher-ups. By the time she was 16, she was fairly well known in photography circles, but she always stayed out of the limelight, never being interviewed or anything like that- she just loved her photography, and it came easy to her.

When Marylin reached age 18, she landed her first job at a magazine. At first, she was just an apprentice, but in only a year she was the main photographer at a well-known magazine. It's her dream job, and while it doesn't come with much recognition, she wouldn't give it up for everyone in the world knowing her name. Right outside of the limelight is her favorite place to be-- no one knows her, not the way they would know the stars, but she gets to meet some of them, in the form of models and movie stars and, well, anyone who deserves to be photographed (which is everyone, in her opinion, but her boss doesn't agree).

Likes:
-Photography
-People (The nice one's anyway)
-Color
-Her work

Dislikes:
-People who think they are better than everyone else
-Trends "I think it's stupid, telling people what to wear and such. They should just do what they like."
-The bland and the dull

Secrets:
-She secretly wishes more people would act like themselves- she hates all manner of people who act the same as everyone else
-She's never told anyone, but her mother had two miscarriages- one when Marylin was 5, one when she was 14. She's deeply saddened by that knowledge, as she's always really wanted a little sister or brother.

Fears:
-Being like everyone else
-Spiders

_______________________________________________________________________________


Marylin clicked her pen on the elegant desk she was seated at, looking over her schedule for the next day. Two large photo-shoots, one for the cover and one for an article on an upcoming fashion show. It didn't seem like much, but she still figured she would be pretty busy. She only got times for the big things, if she wasn't busy and there was anyone in the office that needed pictures and got it approved, off she went. Thankfully, her day was almost over and while she was only absently viewing her newest shots to turn in the ones that were good enough for the higher-ups to review. Once she had sorted out the ones that she thought were good, and put away the ones that were even slightly blurry. She grabbed her personal (and favorite) camera from its place on her desk and added it to her camera bag, carefully making sure not to scratch the lens as she did. As soon as she had told her boss goodbye and whisked out the door in a blur of lime-green-dress and purple hair, she began to whistle loudly. It was a bad habit of hers, but it calmed her down and made her mind drift, so it was fine by her. She reached her apartment in record time, unlocking the door and pulling the pins out of her hair simultaneously. She hated the things, but she was supposed to look at least semi-professional for work.

Once inside the door, she looked over her moderately-sized apartment with a mixture of contempt and despair. While the apartment wasn't inherently messy, it was still in need of cleaning up, and she was not looking forward to it. She hung up her camera case carefully on a hook by the wall before walking over to the kitchen and grabbing a Thanks-a-lot cookie from the girl scout packaging and biting into it as she looked over the calender on the wall. There was a party listed for that date, and while Marylin had forgotten about it entirely, once reading it on her small rainbow calendar she became exited to go. Parties were always fun to take pictures at, as long as you could avoid dancing and drinking too much. Still, she had a ton of time left before then, so she decided to take another shower and get dressed so she could watch tv and not have to worry about it before she headed out.

Once out of the shower and dressed in a slightly formal-but-still-comfy outfit that consisted of a yellow shirt with a peter pan collar and a leather skirt. She didn't put on any shoes, mostly because wearing shoes in your own home makes it seem less homey. She braided her now-dry hair down her right shoulder before jumping onto the couch in her small sitting room, which was decorated with the pictures she was most proud of. She flipped on the tv and relaxed into it, scanning through she channels to pass the time.
