Appearance in Description-
"You've got two eyes. Use 'em." Portia practically radiates attitude. You can see it in something as simple as the way she stands; with one hip cocked to the side and her head held high. She walks with a swift pride that's hard not to notice. She makes no effort to hide who she is, and doesn't care if others don't like the way she acts or dresses. If they have a problem with it, she doesn't need them. This reflects as much in her outward appearance as it does her personality. Portia has extremely long hair that swings well to her hips. It's color is a deep, rich brown with black streaking throughout it. Portia doesn't style her hair and the only hair products she owns are a large brush and some hairspray. It takes long enough already to brush it out, why take even longer to style it? Naturally, it's full and messy, looking freshly tossed always, and she keeps it that way, not caring what the latest style is, prefering her easy to handle, natural hair. Framed by Portia's dark waves is her smooth, darkly tanned face. She spends all of her time outside, so her skin is always evenly tanned, plus her native American heritage gives it a natural tan during the winter. Portia's facial features are very defined. She has high cheekbones, a full mouth, almost too-big eyes framed by scrwany lashes, and a small nose. Her eyes are an unusually bright shade of emerald green, and the smallness of her other features makes them look even larger than they are. They're shocking and draw attention, so usually she hides them under a pair of shades.
When it comes to body-type, Portia is very athletic. She is great at nearly any sport, even if she sucks at art, math, and- well... everything else. She's a tall girl, standing at 5'10", she towers over most people. To her, it's the perfect height, because to others it can be intimidating. Due to her athletic nature and active lifestyle, Portia is slim and fit with very powerful muscles that make her great in a fight. For style, Portia is very open. During the winter, she typically wears sweatshirts and skinnys; during the fall and spring, she'll wear jeans and old t-shirts, and during the summertime, she'll wear nearly anything. Since she's tall, she's extremely fond of high heels, only adding to her intimidation. Tight dresses and mini pencil skirts with lacy blouses are her typical attire during the summer. She is very vain and loves looking classy and put together. Though she doesn't do much with her hair, she spends plenty of time making sure her clothes and makeup are absolutely perfect. It's a weakness of hers, her vanity, but she can't get over it.
Personality-
"Haven't you heard what they say about me? I'm heartless. If you could sum up Portia perfectly in one word, it'd be ruthless. Her life has been anything but easy and she's taken it as she has everything else. With her fists swinging. Every word that comes out of her mouth drips with sarcasm and double-meaning. She doesn't care what others think of her and never will. As long as she likes what she sees in the mirror, who cares what everyone else thinks? Her confidence wasn't a gift though. She had a shitty home life and as every gift comes with a curse, she may have been blessed with pride, but was cursed with having absolutely no filter. She says what comes to her mind, making her very blunt. Along with this, Portia has almost no book smarts for she's never understood algebra and fails horribly every time she attempts art, but what she lacks in education, she makes up for in street smarts. She can hot-wire any car, break into any building, and pull off any con. She's an exceptional liar and an outstanding thief. She's ruthless and wicked, doing things simply because she wants to. If it doesn't benefit her, she wont do it.
The only people she loves are her brother, her sister, and herself. She doesn't waste time with people she doesn't need. She prefers to get straight down to the brutal truth of things and never sugar coats anything. Love and tenderness is not something she's ever had in her life and so she doesn't quite know how to express it, so it's not something she has. Portia rarely deals with her problems in healthy ways, but there's no other way she does know.
Portia refuses to follow rules. It's simple as that. She sees rules as bendable suggestions. To her, its up to you to chose whether you want to follow the rules or not. They're are simply choices and those who hold you back from choice are not worth your time. She has a tendency to break any restriction put in front of her, rebelling in any way possible. She prefers to give our orders, rather than be ordered around. When someone undermines her, they're immediately put on her hit list. If Portia makes a threat against you, you can be sure she'll carry it out for she'll hold a grudge until the day she dies. In all, Portia is a wicked, selfish girl.

Brief History-
"Well it's not exactly rainbows and butterflies, that's for sure." Portia and her two siblings have never had a simple life. As twins, Clinton and her were born at the same time to a Native American woman named Laila. Laila had been a hard worker in her early years, a sweet girl and the prettiest in town. She lived in a small little hick-town in the heart of Alabama. When a rich celebrity swept through town to shoot a movie, Laila was noticed immediately and the boy, Chaz, chased her diligently for a year. When he finally got her, the two of them were married and he got her pregnant not the week after. She had twins, and two years later, a little girl. The two of them were happy, and he was rich, able to provide the family with whatever they wanted. Though when Chaz's movie shooting ended, after three years of marriage, he had to return to the city. And Laila refused to to go with him. She was a country girl through-and-through. There would be nothing for her to do in the city. So Chaz, angry, left her, taking the twins with him in the middle of the night. He re-married a woman half his age as soon as he arrived in Hollywood. And Portia and Clinton were raised in a rough city life. Their father fell into drugs and lost his celebrity status. They were hauled along to parties, and their father took out a lot of his drunk anger on them.
Back in Alabama, Laila, heartbroken, lived in deep depression. Some days were good ones, and she was happy and loving like a mother should be. Other days, Christina could hardly draw her from her room. And after fourteen years of "keeping it together" for her daughter, Christina finally killed herself, leaving her weak daughter alone with no family. She had never even known her siblings or father, and was ripped from her country life to live with strangers in the city. She lived with them for two years, until Portia turned eighteen and had heard of an island. And island for people like them. So they left. And now they're living on the vampire island.
