"I may die young, but at least I'll die smart." - John Green
•She once worked as a intern in her fathers firm, working with numbers, so her math is quite a strong suit for her. •For a girl that grew up in a very strict house and that didn't get to go out much she is pretty clever with her street smarts. •She was very athletic, in high school she was a star soccer player, but also was on the swim team and did a bit if gymnastics. • While her general house skills are not strong she is actually highly aware of how to invest properly in properties and how to fight her way up the business latter, not that it helps when your a paper kid. • She has a lot of bright and creative ideas always coming to mind. • She can't cook to save her life but she can make a mean cup of coffee due to her intern days. • She can recreate about any hair and make up style she sees, it's quite the talent. • She can speak three languages, Spanish, French, and English
|W E A K N E S S ES|
•She never really grew up doing the basic things that normal people do such as doing laundry and even just making her bed or cleaning so sometimes she is just well confused when it comes to those things. • She can often be insensitive to people's emotions and feelings. She doesn't try to be, it just happens. • She actually can't drive, she's from New York mind you • Her cooking skills do consist of burning toast • Doesn't get close to people. • She smokes, a lot • She has a tendency now to stay focused on one thing so a long time and if often changing her mind and getting bored of things and moving on to the next. • She is often reckless with the choices that she makes, often times putting not only herself but other people in danger. • She is self destructive and has never really cared much for herself

[color=#804080]“It is easy to forget how full the world is of people, full to bursting, and each of them imaginable and consistently misimagined.” - John Green
Pops is a mystery to most people. She's a mix of all these different personality traits, all combined to one person, them all acting on a force against each other. She's complicated and moody and just not understandable. PJ puts up the facade that acts like she knows who this is but the damn truth is not even she has a clue. The way she acts, the way she moves, the things she does just makes her more and more complicated. Often she meets people says some things and leaves, leaving them with this complete confusion of this girl who acts like a tornado with the sunny weather trying to push it away. She leaves people in this daze, wishing they knew more about her, wishing they knew less about her, leaving there opinions of her being two polar opposites fighting for control, just like the girl herself.
When you first meet Pops, she's as simple as it puts it, blunt. She's not the type to make friends just to make friends so more than likely if she's talking to you there is a reason, something more than just a chat. Often time at first meets she is aloof and cold yet thoughtful and lost in her own thoughts. She is found in the middle of conversations mumbling the off topic thoughts while the other person is talking. When asked what she's talking about, she tends to go cold again. When people ask her to many questions and focus the conversation away from themselves she tends to get frustrated and snappy. She hates the attention on herself.
PJ has self loathing tendencies. She just simply can't bring herself to love herself. She believes her thoughts are toxic and she is just the odd one out of the Paper Kids. That is actually why she took up smoking, it just somehow made her feel better about not being like the others. See the reason she feels this way is that everyone else somehow changed themselves to fit into the group naturally, but her she can't seem to shake her rich lifestyle and even finds herself missing it from time to time and she hates that, she hates the way she is.
Poppy is thoughtful and caring but mainly on the inside, she tends to not show it off to other people. She always has eighteen million thoughts rushing through her mind at all times, different ideas, different way to view life, really anything. She is also caring, and while she tries not to be as it makes her attached to people it happens anyways. She can't help it, people amaze her and she just wants to get closet to them because of that.
While nothing in Poppy's life has made her the way she is, she is still closed off and distant in fear of getting hurt. She doesn't know why as she this way as she never grew up feeling neglected or had a bad breakup or someone dying, she just is. Sometimes she wants to open up but can't bring herself to break down this wall she's build up. Sometimes she wonders what's wrong with her and why she can't bring herself to open up since nothing's ever happened to her and she looks at other people who have been through so much and yet still open up more that her and she just wonders why and how they do it while her this girl who was never broken can't.
A part of PJ just fears for herself to get caught. In her mind her family will find her and force her to come home. Because of this she never has really out her all into the Paper Kids. While she loves them all so dearly she can't help it, she just is reserved. If she develops deep relationships with this kids it will be so much harder to leave them. Therefore sometimes the Paper Kids don't always like her as they believe her being aloof is because she doesn't like them and thinks she's above them but in reality she is just scared of what is to come.

PJ grew up in Upper East Side, New York City. She lived in a pent house with her two parents, her little brother by four years, and her pet cat, Phoebe. Growing up in her life was easy. Her father not only owned one of the largest law firms in New York City, but also made some decent investments that now had him literally rolling in the dough. As for her mother she is your typical socialite, she came from old money and always bathed in the fame it brought with it.
They leaded a normal life, and well tack on having drivers, maids, and butlers that did all the home work for them. To put it simply, life was easy, all the family had to do was look nice. Naturally a nice twist to the story was, her parents weren't to caught up in money to ignore her. Instead they made sure her life panned out perfect. The most prestigious boarding school, internships at her fathers firm, personal trainers to make her the best at soccer, really the whole life.
The only issue with all this glamor? It was all so fake. You have to wear Gucci because it makes you look posh, you have to have etiquette lessons, you cannot do that unless your sure you'll be the absolute best. Her family put on a show and Poppy bought right into it and it wasn't until she got accepted to Harvard that everything changed.
One day the Harvard letter came in and that was when Poppy could see her future. The same boring thing her whole life. It just seemed so tedious. And that when she ran. She packed up her things and just disappeared off to Florida to find some guy that she fell in love with over the internet.
Now, 2 months later she realized he was nothing like she expected, and that just made it so much better, but she can't help but distance herself from the group. Maybe it's because she doesn't want to get hurt by getting close to them, maybe it's because apart of her wants the rich life she once had, PJ doesn't really know.

“As long as we don't die, this is gonna be one hell of a story.” - John Green
'Cause lately I've been waking up alone,
Paint splattered teardrops on my shirt,
Told you I'd let them go,
And that I'll fight my corner,
Maybe tonight I'll call ya,
After my blood turns into alcohol,
No, I just wanna hold ya.
Give a little time to me or burn this out,
We'll play hide and seek to turn this around,
All I want is the taste that your lips allow,
My, my, my, my, oh give me love,
My, my, my, my, oh give me love,
My, my, my, my, oh give me love,
My, my, my, my, oh give me love,
My, my, my, my, give me love,
Give me love like never before,
'Cause lately I've been craving more,
And it's been a while but I still feel the same,
Maybe I should let you go,
You know I'll fight my corner,
And that tonight I'll call ya,
After my blood is drowning in alcohol,
No, I just wanna hold ya.
Give a little time to me or burn this out,
We'll play hide and seek to turn this around,
All I want is the taste that your lips allow,
My, my, my, my, oh give me love,
Give a little time to me or burn this out,
We'll play hide and seek to turn this around,
All I want is the taste that your lips allow,
