JESSABELLE ALCANTARA
NAME:Jessabelle Alcantara
AGE:Sixteen (16)
GENDER: Female
LOCAL OR ORPHAN: Orphan
ROOMMATE: To be decided.
SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Straight
RELATIONSHIPS: Jessabelle has never been in a relationship before. She's never had her first kiss, first date, or anything to do with guys, except for being friends. She doesn't mind not having a boyfriend before, and isn't embarrassed to admit it to her friends. She's only just recently turned 16, so she knows she has a long way to go. She is, however, a sucker for a guy with a way with words. She never falls for the 'players' , but prefers someone who is more poetic and smart. She is a bookworm herself, and absolutely adores poetry. Once she does get a boyfriend, she wants someone to love her for who she is, and be there for her to lean on. She's only really dreamed of her perfect boyfriend, but she knows finding a guy like that would only a chance of lifetime. But, nobody could stop her from dreaming.
APPEARANCE: Jessabelle is more on the short side, standing 4 feet and 11 inches, and only weighing about 110 pounds. She has a heart shaped face, with bright hazel eyes that seem to light up when she smiles. Her long brown wavy hair falls three quarters down her back, and her nails are often painted a bright shade of lemonade pink. Her lips are the perfect shade of red, and eyelashes long and naturally curled. She has a medium sized frame, curves in all the right places despite her age, and the softest skin you could ever imagine. She doesn't have any dimples or birthmarks, and instead has a run of scars and discoloration on her arms. She was born with a skin disease, eczema, which was very severe when she was younger. It had started to go away as she got older, but the scars will still left behind. The disease isn't contagious, and ran in her family.
Jessabelle is very big in fashion, and enjoys making clothing. The clothes she wears, usually, are the ones she made. She almost always wears converse sneakers, and would never get caught wearing high heels or sandals. She doesn't worry about wearing earrings, but when she does wear them, it'd usually be very flashy. During the summer, she'd usually just throw on a tank top and a pair of shorts with her converse. She doesn't wear those ridiculously short shorts that other girls wear though, she usually wears ones that falls three quarters down her thigh.
PERSONALITY
Jessabelle doesn't find any problem with doing certain things, such as burping in public. She finds that it's only natural, and gets annoyed with those prissy girls who get disgusted by it. She also loves nature, and wouldn't mind going to the beach every single day. She loves watching the sunset, and running around in the rain. When Jessabelle meets someone who she doesn't like, or even despises, she can become, well, a bitch. She's hates dealing with people who annoy her to death, and, despite not being self spoken, has no problem telling them off. Living at the orphanage all her life, Jessabelle hates it when people think they can manipulate her and use her. She also especially hates it when people throw away things that others would dream to have.
Another thing that Jessabelle likes to do is sew. She learned how to sew when she was 9 years old from one of the orphanages's caretakers, and took to it almost immediately. Seven years since then, Jessabelle can make anything from a scarf to mimicking a blouse you'd see at Forever 21. When she first started to learn, she used to use the sewing machine at the orphanage, but on her 16th birthday she received her own sewing machine from the orphanage. She spends the majority of her day sewing or reading.

BACKGROUNDIt was snowing the day Jessabelle was born, a cold and bitter December evening almost twenty years ago. From what the orphanage told her, she was born on December 11th. She was daughter number five of Marcelo and Elizabeth Alcantara, and definitely one of the most unwanted ones. The story behind why the couple had so many daughters was, well, they wanted a baby boy. They were filthy rich, high standard, and wanted an heir to inherit all their possessions once they were gone. It seems the couple was cursed, because time after time, they kept getting a daughter. Frustrated and annoyed, each time a new girl was born, they'd throw them away and dump them through different orphanages around the country. One daughter in each orphanage, so the children wouldn't know they had siblings. After the daughter was disposed of, they'd run away to a different place. The plan was pretty successful so far, because up to this day Jessabelle and her sisters don't know who their true parents are.
While Jessabelle was daughter number five, she had seven sisters in total. All of them were scattered throughout the US, just like their parents wanted, only hearing of each others existence. It was thanks to genetic testing that they knew they were related. Jessabelle, at least, knew she had family in the world. They'd never met each other fully, while each of them have pictures of each other and communicate. Money didn't allow all the sisters to fly to meet each other. It was awkward, and the sisters weren't close at all. Actually, they were closer to strangers than they were a family. Their parents, however, finally got their baby boy. His name was Christian, now only a couple years younger than Jessabelle.
Since Jessabelle was tossed into the orphanage as soon as she was born, she'd spent most of her life living there. Her first steps, words, tooth falling out, all happened at that small little orphanage. She was only around 10 years old when she found out about her parents, though she never found out about Christian, and had trouble believing it was real. She hated her parents, detested them, for doing this to her and her sisters. Up till this day, she wants the police to find her parents. Find her parents and kill them - God knows they deserve it.
FEARS & DREAMS Jessabelle fears that one day she'll be left alone. From what happened to her parents, she is often paranoid that one day all her friends will leave her. That all the friends she's made in her life will leave her once they move on to college and start their own lives. She doesn't mind dying without a husband or family, but wants at least one friend to be with her until the end. She is also terrified of the dark, and, still to this day, sleeps with a night light.
As a career, Jessabelle wants to be a nurse. She wants to be the type of nurse to work with delivering babies and taking care of infants. She wants to work in famous hospital, one of the most famous in the world, despite knowing how hard it will be. She plans to go straight to college after high school, leave the orphanage, and take on a job to go to nursing school. In fact, she's starting to look for jobs now to save up for her college.
