[Name]
Calleigh Anderson
[Age]
15
[Personality]
Calleigh is a nervous and shy teenager because of her disability - she's deaf. She's often the quiet and reserved girl that will stand in the corner and just 'listen'. By listening she means lip reading. She rarely joins in in conversations because she can't hear, and often doesn't understand things because she can't hear the underlying tones. She doesn't want to misinterpret things.
Once you get to know Calleigh you find out she's nice and got a big heart. She's not one to say no if she's asked to do something and loves trying to help people out. She's naive though, and often trusts people no questions asked.
[History]
Calleigh has had a difficult time growing up so far. Being the only deaf person in her family has being challenging and she's often struggled to fit in despite them treating her as normal. At the age of five she went into a school that specialised in teaching deaf people as her parents didn't want her going to a normal school fearing that she'd be like a fish out of water trying to cope with everything. She's been at the school ever since, but has managed to make her own friends outside of this school too.
Calleigh has 3 older brothers, 2 older sisters and a younger brother and sister. Her parents always wanted a large family. Sometimes it's too much, but when she needs them, they're there for her.

The dark - being as Calleigh can't hear, she relies on her sight. It scares her half to death when she can't see around her and can't hear anything at the same time. It makes her feel unsafe.
Being alone - Calleigh also relies on others being around to help her out in a crisis or if she needs some help. If no one is around, and something is wrong, she's terrified because she has no one to relay information or assure her that things are okay.
