Indigo Neve Taylor || Indi Or Blue || Seventeen || 26th December || Heterosexual || Monaghan ~ Ireland
Eating Disorder - Anorexia;
Indi was never as painfully skinny as she is now, in fact up until she turned eleven, Indigo was almost considered obese, this being what caused her stop eating originally. Indi found herself not being able to stick to diets she therefore decided upon stopping eating entirely.
Of course, this sudden occurrence didn't just happen for no reason, Indi was being bullied at school because of her weight and while she could withstand the verbal abuse, once she started coming home with bruises all over her body, she couldn't take it anymore.

Most people would assume, considering her predicament, that Indigo likes to keep away from the lime light and isn't very outgoing at all.
These people would be extremely wrong. Indigo is definitely a bold character, and with her confidence, large eyes and huge puffy blonde hair, it's hard to miss her. The only thing suppressed by Indigo would be her love of singing, and that is purely because Indigo doesn't believe she's as good as she really is.
The only time you'll see Indigo angry either she's being beaten at video games (it's a small obsession of hers) or you're insulting her favourite band, The Killers (a huge obsession of hers); all in all, Indigo is a very calm person, making her perfect for someone to talk to about their problems because she'll never get angry or upset and also, Indigo really does enjoy giving out good advice - Which usually is helpful.
Indigo's very curious and adventurous; she's no stranger to the outdoors, much rather being out there than cooped up inside. Granted Indigo is a huge dreamer, and she's always concocting all sorts of stories and little poems in her mind and sometimes, Indigo finds herself falling asleep in the most strangest of places, be it up a tree or on a swing - This is what the doctors say causes her insomnia.
Sometimes, people can find her a little overwhelming which is fine because, frankly, she is. Although, Indigo is more verbally energetic than physically, mainly because she finds herself getting very tired frequently, caused by her malnourishment. Indigo is still very playful, however, and does enjoy physical activities, it's just that she can't keep doing them for a long time before she becomes exhausted.
When it comes to others, Indigo is alway spouting out compliments, not in the gushy kiss-ass way but just pick-me-ups if they're ever self conscious, which actually is really rather hypocritical seeing as Indigo herself doesn't have all that much self confidence, although her over bubbly personality would make you think otherwise, it's pretty much all pretend because she feels as if, if people see the real her, they'll hate her and once again, the bullying will commence.
Indigo Neve Taylor, a big, healthy baby girl was born to Mrs. Sophia Taylor and Mr. Richard Taylor, Sophia only being nineteen at the time, while Richard thirty - Their love was never going to be accepted, and so, they decided to runaway together, start a life somewhere better where nobody would care about their age difference.
It wasn't like a fairytale romance, though, it was more like a life in hiding. The couple had to literally shut themselves away in a tiny cottage in Ireland for the first few years of their baby girl's life.
Indigo loved her parents incredibly, they were the people she always turned to and lying to them never once crossed her mind. That was, however, until Indigo turned thirteen, going into secondary school is scary as it is already and so Indigo could hardly handle it when the bullying started. It started with a petty 'fatty' or 'cow' now and then, which while stupid and generic, also still hurt Indigo, it got progressively worse toward the end of year seven.
They would physically hit her; sometimes even throw rocks at Indigo. She would end up coming home covered in cuts and bruises, but there was no way she could tell her parents what was really happening and therefore Indigo would just make up some lame excuses. No, instead of telling her parents, Indigo decided to face it alone.
Starving herself, was what she thought was the only option, she would never be able to last on a diet - Indigo had tried too many times already - so staying away from food completely was all she could come up with, besides, this way she would start to see results quicker, right?
A few months past and, Indigo couldn't even stand the smell of food let alone stomach eating. So she just stuck to her small sips of apple juice, hoping that her parents wouldn't notice how she'd cheek her dinner and then either spit it out after, or eat it and then purging herself after dinner.
