Full Name: Skylar Quinn Grayson
Age: 18
Birthday: May 21
Zodiac Sign: Taurus
Hometown: Daytona Beach, Florida
Appearance:
Having inherited her father’s brown hair and her mother’s light blue eyes, Skylar is a carbon copy of her parents (erasing any thoughts she may have had of having possibly been switched with another baby at the hospital). Small boned and petite, she barely brushes five foot two (earning herself multiple height related nicknames from her brothers) and weighs just under 110 pounds.
As the only daughter of the family, Skylar grew up wearing her brothers’ hand-me-downs. Money was tight and Keegan’s flannel shirt and basketball shorts suited her just fine for the most part. Aside from dressing up for special occasions, brand names and fancy labels didn’t mean much to her. For the most part her face is usually make-up free (except for said special occasions), save for a little eyeliner and mascara if she's in the mood.
For her Sweet 16, her parents gave her a sterling silver heart pendant with her birthstone set in it. She only takes it off to shower and never leaves the house without it, for she considers it to be her good luck charm.
Background:
From the very beginning, Skylar has lived her entire life in the shadows of her siblings. Her eldest brother, Spencer, is points shy of genius and is currently completing his internship at a nearby hospital. Her second eldest brother, Keegan, is the athlete of the family and had received a full ride football scholarship to Florida State University. Skylar was the third born, holding her parents’ attention for all of two years before her younger brother, Ethan, was born and stole her aforementioned title of baby of the family. Growing up, she wasn’t naturally athletic or intelligent or creative or any of the other qualities her superstar brothers possessed- she was just Skylar, condemned to a lifetime of trying to fight for her parents’ attention. Shortly after her eleventh birthday, her mother gave birth to twin girls, Aubrey and Kelsey, leaving Skylar stuck in the middle of her chaotic family and pretty angry about it.
With seven kids, money was tight and Skylar knew that she was going to have to do everything in her power to get herself to college. She had dreams much too big for her small hometown and she knew that her parents had far too much on their plates to help her. As soon as she was old enough she got a part-time job as a pizza delivery girl, balancing that with schoolwork and her extracurricular activities. Although she felt that she didn’t live up to the standards set by her brothers she was accepted to NYU on an almost full-ride scholarship, finally giving her the recognition she’d searched for her entire childhood.
A college freshman, Skylar is finding her way around New York City and finally learning how to stand on her own and out of her siblings’ shadows.
