Has been diagnosed with depression, and acts upon it more often in real life than online.
Bio: Born in California, raised in California by her mother. Lived for fourteen years in one apartment complex, then moved less than a mile away. Her mother has many physical ailments which makes life hard, for there is no working income. Her neighbors, friends and community are all wealthy, making her feel rather like an outcast at times, although she doesn't show it often.
She loves animals of all kinds, and has had over twenty-five pets, mainly guinea pigs, but has had one rat and two hamsters as well. She's always wanted a dog but could never afford one.
She struggles in school, but hopes to pass so she can go to an art university.
She is very loyal to her friends and has an easier time standing up to others rather than herself.
Her art, games, and computer are her escape. She has been roleplaying online for over four years and considers herself a literate author.
She has a hobby of starting projects and never finishing them.
Doesn't like talking about herself.
