"I bet my heart on something loud"
Billie is 5'6 and 130 pounds. Sure, if you ever saw Billie on her own you'd probably think she was pretty but she'd never believe it, and neither would you if you ever saw her next to her sister. Her hair is blonde, but it has always been a few shades duller than her sister's vibrant honey blonde. Billie has also always been slightly taller and more gangly than her sister. The plain sister if you will.
Nowadays, Billie's features usually look a combination of bored and annoyed. Her attitude never inviting conversation or friendliness. A lack of finance and effort usually keep her in jeans and tees.
Secret:
Billie ran-away with a guy when she was 17. It was a train-wreck of a relationship that turned into a train-wreck of a marriage and now Billie's on her own now, determined not to admit to her own failings.
Talents:
Billie has a talent for dark humor. She doesn't say much but what she does say is usually funny in a dark way. Billie is a very courageous person. Which might seem somewhat contradictory for her, but the truth is, she really does have nothing to lose. Not now and not in he past. A weird talent, but still a talent. Billie has very nice handwriting. A point of pride for her will always be getting her pen license first in her class, and ever before her sister.
Weaknesses:
Billie has a number of weaknesses, just ask her. She's awkward around new people, and thus really doesn't talk much to people she doesn't know and so can be an all round un-friendly person. Billie is also not the most graceful of creatures. Her mother always used to tell her she stomped around the house like an elephant and was always crashing into things. Another thing Billie is not so great at in maths. Numbers, statistics, and geometry, all things that go in one ear and out the other for Billie.
Fears:
Billie fears being reunited with her sister. Her whole life she was always compared to her sister and found wanting. It's the main reason she ran away, to be on her own for the first time in her life and stop playing second best. Billie also fears people finding out how badly her life has turned out. Her pride couldn't take the hit, so she'll lie and tell false stories to keep people from knowing the truth.
Billie is mostly a reserved person. When she younger it was shyness and nerves, she sat on the sidelines and tended not to talk that much. When she was in high school she developed into someone who just preferred to watch on and not be at the center of things. Billie had her small group of close friends whom she opened up to, she didn't have that drive to connect with a lot of people and have a hive of activity around her. No all grown up, Billie has taken her act up all the way up to loner and pretty much standoffish, She has practically no friends and is content. Well, at least content with not having anyone close. She can do without fake pleasantries and pretending to be friends with someone you find annoying. She'd rather people take their forced smiles elsewhere. The vibe she gives off doesn't invite people to stick around and chit chat with her. Billie was born to be a wallflower, not part of the action. She's also very independent
If you are one of Billie's few friends though you tend to get a different Billie. She drops the attitude and before all of this you would have even been treated to her smiles. Not that she would say all that much even to a friend. Billie never had that much to say, sure she'd have an inner monologue about ripping the head of the customer who didn't tip, but she's not a big sharer. She'll listen to her friends talk for hours, but Billie is more a passive participant in conversations. Of course, she isn't Billie without her small sarcastic comments. The closer you are the Billie the more sarcastic and sometimes dark thoughts inside her head about others. Most make other people laugh. The more Billie dislikes you, the more you'll receive her glares from the sideline.
Billie is a very insecure person deep down, though she's built a wall up and over that fact she it's hard to find. She exudes independence and confidence now, in a way she never did back then. Though her insecurities from high school are still there. She's just trying her best not to listen to them. She's already spent too many years of her life letting her inferiority complex to her sister rule her life and decisions. So long as she never sees Sasha again, she'll be all right.
"I wanna kill you"
On the day of Billie's birth, her parents were doubly gifted with two healthy baby girls. Sasha and Billie. Sasha was born 20 minutes before Billie, that was the first time Sasha beat Billie. From then on, it was a competition between the two and Sasha never let Billie win at anything. Billie was always second best. Sasha was outgoing and charming and everyone in the neighborhood loved her, Billie was a wallflower who only had little sarcastic comments to make. Sasha was very bright and a bit of a teacher's pet where Billie was struggling in foundation maths. Sasha was the star of their basketball team, Billie spent more time on the bench than she did playing.
Billie's memories of her childhood were always spent trudging along in her sister's shadow, with some sort of gloomy expression. Billie even remembers her grade school dance in which every boy she danced with was someone her sister palmed off to her. Which is why meeting Jackson, the troubled youth from cross town was such a big moment in Billie's life. He noticed her ad picked her over her sister, and at 17 that was all she wanted. It took maybe all of two weeks for her to claim total and complete love for him. They were kids, they thought they knew everything about the world. Jackson hated his family and was always going to take off, and Billie caught so caught up in the romantic drama of it all, she jumped on the back of his motorbike and went off with him.
It was a crazy romantic blur, spending night in slimy motels and laying under trees watching the stars. On her 18th birthday, Billie and Jackson rocked up at a court house and got married. Of course, then reality set in. There were bills to pay, dinner to cook, and toilets to clean. All the great stuff about being on your own that no one ever tells you. The price of freedom. While Billie worked hard at a minimum wage diner job, Jackson seemed to never hold a job for more then a few weeks at a time. Resentment and anger brew between them.
Only a month into their marriage and almost every day ended in a screaming match. Usually followed by some passionate making up. Three months into their marriage and Billie came home from a long tiring day where a toddler threw up on her shoes to find Jackson in bed with some brunette. The fight that followed ended with knifes lodged in walls and plates smashed all about. Billie kicked Jackson out, though let him back in only four days later. The next two years saw Billie and Jackson become the most on-again-off-again married couple of all time. Their fights often turning violent, the two were always at the hospital with cuts, bruises, split lips and the works. Then Billie got pregnant. It was supposed to be the thing that saved them, made them a family. At first it did, they were happy. However, two month into her pregnancy, Billie had complications with the baby and for her own health had to stop working. Which meant bills became very tight and Jackson worked long hours. He blamed her and came to resent Billie, so the fighting started again. Billie came at him with a knife and he knocked her down through a glass table. Billie lost the baby and finally, she cut her ties with Jackson forever.
The following year has been spent working at a crummy dinner sharing a shitty apartment with two other girls.
