Appearance;
I really don't see why you want to know this but: I am a short but lean girl with a pretty smile.I have long and wavy locks fall down my back and frame my face in blond. I observe the world through blue orbs and I stand a simple 5'4" off the ground. I only weigh in at a romping 119 lbs. I did have a Munroe when I was a teenager but I took it out so I have a tiny scare above my lip and when I was a kid I jumped off of my roof and landed in a willow branch and now have a series of scars up my left ribcage.


Personality;
At least 200 words of personality here. Include overall personality, plus anything else you might want: likes/dislikes, fears, strengths/weaknesses, secrets, etc.!

History;
Well first off let me tell you where I came from. My father is known as Everett Matthews he is a black market runner and he owns his own section of the business. My mother goes by Chardonnay Criss, she has a much more modest job. She is a doctor. She is an amazing woman and I don’t really see how she ended up with my father. Needless to say she loves him and he loves her back. It’s kind of sad really. My father isn’t the most amazing man ever. In fact he’s kind of a coward; my mother is the total opposite. She is kind of out there and fun loving. I adore her for it. In case you couldn’t tell I don’t really get along with my father but my mother is somebody I will always love to spend time with. We will get to that later though, for now I’m supposed to be telling you my history. So let’s get to it then shall we? I was born on June Fifth; nine months and three days after my parents got married. I know I am obviously a result of a wonderful honeymoon tryst. I don’t mind, if it weren’t for me they would have split ages ago. Kidding. My parents are actually quite in love. But anyway back to the story.

I was your normal baby, the usual amount of sleeping, eating, crying and shitting. Not a lot happened in the first few years of my life. When I was seven months old I learned to walk, then when I was ten months I learned to talk quite well. My first actual word was ‘no’. Can you believe that – that was a joke. – Anyway so we’ll skip forward a few years to my seventh birthday. My parents were both busy at work that day so I didn’t even get to see them before they went to work. My nanny was busy watching television and I was left to play on my own. I however decided it would be a good idea to run away. I mean come on, I was seven, and my parents had both missed my birthday. I was hurt. So I packed a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, a clean pair of panties, and left. I was gone for maybe two days; I had just gone to the boat house by the river. When I got home my dad was furious, but my mother was just glad I was home.

The final straw with my dad was when I was twelve and he threatened to beat me if I didn’t get better grades. I was already doing fairly well but he said he couldn’t have an idiot running his business when he retired. Oh did I mention he had been trying to force the business on me since I was about eight? I wasn’t an idiot. I already knew I didn’t want to be caught up with the illegal morons that he had working for him. The more I told the man I didn’t want to do it and I would find my own path in life the more he pushed it on me. I knew I wouldn’t want to carry on his name. In fact I wanted to change my name to my mother’s maiden name, but that wasn’t going to happen for a while.

I got to spend a lot of time with my mother as I was growing up, she and I had more in common than myself and my father. My mother and I both loved to have fun, go shopping, and just talk. I know it’s kind of weird for a teenaged female to say she loves her mother but I did. She’s the reason I am who I am today, my father had no work there at all – actually that’s a lie, if it weren’t for him I wouldn’t be the rebel child I am – But my mother always bought me what I wanted, even if it was too expensive. I mean come on I was a Matthews, I always get the best of everything. So yeah, from my seventh birthday until my sixteenth birthday not a lot happened. When I was nine I jumped off the roof because I was convinced I could fly, I was of course wrong, I landed in the huge willow tree out front. I have a whole series of scars up the right side of my rib cage from it. But that’s about as exciting as my years were. I went to private school and when I was done there I went to a private high school. Until I was sixteen.

A few months after I turned sixteen my dad actually hit me. I had a black eye for a week. One day when he and mom were out running errands I wrote a note saying sorry to my mom but I was leaving. I packed the basics and left town. I even took the opportunity to change my name to Criss. I moved to Saint Calais. I got a two part time jobs, one as a bus girl at a restaurant, and the other as a waitress at a late night truck stop. There were times where I wished I hadn’t left. It was hard to go through school and work two jobs. In fact it was so difficult that I had to take an extra semester to get my high school diploma.

After I graduated from high school I decided to go to University to get a Bachelor of Arts. While I was there I met a few guys. Most I used for sex, but one or two of them I dated. Now I think it’s important that you know this: I am not a slut, I do not sleep around with everyone. But I do enjoy a good shag, and if you meet my standards there is a good chance we might have a fun night. That being said I think I should talk to you about the most important person I used for fun. He was my professor – and when the rumors started to fly about him being with one of his students, I dropped out of school. I knew it wasn’t for me and so on. But this man was important for a number of reasons. The first being he showed me how important it is to find someone to care about. That sounds weird since he is married and is now sleeping with my best friend, but it’s true. The second reason is he got me a job working at one of his "friends" Café. This job is the best job I have ever had. My boss pays me enough to pay rent and still have a good time.
