"You treat me like you would nails on a chalkboard. You just want it to go away."
Annie is short, standing just over five feet [the outside world rounds down to 5'], and willowy. Though she does posses enough curve to be known as a woman with but a glance she is far straighter then the average girl. Annie is a little shorter in the torso but that loss in length lends itself to long(as long as 5' can get) thin legs that have been known to attract far enough boys. Beyond her model figure she has shoulder length red hair that is usually left down and straight and very pale powdery blue eyes.
When she leaves the house it's usually in old band tees and jeans. At home she prefers not to wear pants at all and usually walks around in one of those longer shirts that she always "hoped she'd grow into". Or just some of her brothers clothing that she'd stolen from him.
Personality
Her primary mode of living is focused internally, where she deals with things rationally and logically. Her secondary mode is external, where she take things in via her five senses in a literal, concrete fashion. She has a compelling drive to understand the way things work. Good at logical analysis, she likes to use it on practical concerns. Typically having strong powers of reasoning, although she's not interested in theories or concepts unless she can see a practical application. She likes to take things apart and see the way they work.
Annie is fiercely independent, needing to have the space to make her own decisions about her next step. She does not believe in or follow rules and regulations, as this would prohibit her ability to "do her own thing". Her sense of adventure and desire for constant action makes her prone to becoming bored rather quickly. Although she does not respect the rules of the "System", she follows her own rules and guidelines for behavior faithfully. She will not take part in something which violates her personal laws.
She likes and needs to spend time alone, because this is when she can sort things out in their minds most clearly. She absorbs large quantities of impersonal facts from the external world, and sort through those facts, making judgments, when she is alone. Annie is an action-oriented person. She likes to be up and about, doing thing, which means she won't sit behind a desk all day and do long-range planning. Adaptable and spontaneous, she responds to what is immediately before her. She usually has strong technical skills, and can be as effective technical leaders.
She does not pay attention to her own feelings, and even distrust them and try to ignore them, because she has difficulty distinguishing between emotional reactions and value judgments. This may be a problem area for her.
When over-stressed, she may exhibit rash emotional outbursts of anger, or on the other extreme may be overwhelmed by emotions and feelings which she feels compelled to share with people (often inappropriately). When down on herself she will foray into the world of value judgments - a place which is not natural for the her - and judge herself by the inability to perform some task. Annie will then approach the task in a grim emotional state, expecting the worst.

History
Annie felt quite neglected as a child, though to others she probably just seemed spoiled. Though, with three other cousins to live with, how could you not feel at least a tad bit alone sometimes. And even though she never was "alone", it didn't mean she was in the company of people she should be. Sure, there were maids and servants and "playmates" that her aunt "supplied" her with. But would it not have been better if they had just been there themselves? Annie never wanted the caretakers "love", she just wanted to feel and know that her aunt loved her, and she never did. Perhaps that is the emptiness she feels inside herself now. Does she even want her love anymore?
