SECRETS Alice was adopted when she was four but didn’t actually move to America until she was six.
She dropped, well dropped, out of Pratt University
PERSONALITY loud and energetic She will crack jokes and really try to persuade people until they buy something from her. She seems to keep talking without end, day in and day out. People have stopped her in the streets to ask her if she’s actually high. For the most part her energy comes from being completely sober. So she usually responds to that with a raised eyebrow then a loud no. She really can’t help that she will just start walking with a bounce in her step or randomly start dancing. Sometimes she will just start up conversations with her self, even though it could make her appear completely insane. Her energy never seems to wear out either. Some people wonder how she can be so hyped up all the time and she really doesn’t have the answer for that. She just appears to wake up with energy surging through her bones. With the energy comes her loudness too because she seems to not have the ability to talk in whisper.
sociable and optimistic Being sociable is putting it lightly. Most people just call her a partier. Yes, it’s very true that is pretty much her schedule in life. If it were possible she would go out every night to parties. She loves to go out and drink or do some new drug. She claims that she just wants to live her life one day at a time. Since this kind of lifestyle hasn’t caught up with her yet she continues to have the same antics. Ellie is also very sociable. Her energy seems to attract a lot of people to her. If there is an awkward silence she will be the one to break it by starting up small talk. If someone is too shy to talk to her she will introduce herself and try and get along with them. She has such an optimistic view on life, it’s almost ridiculous. Ellie just wants everyone to share her happiness with the world too. Often this super positive outlook cans care people away but it isn’t too often.
procrastinator and lazy It’s almost contradictory right? How can someone so energetic be so lazy? Well it’s really simple. If someone actually tells her to do something she will put it off at all costs. She just has a problem with doing something that she is expected to do. She fears that if she actually does the task she will do it wrong and be labeled a failure. That and she really doesn’t like to do things that involve her doing something that she will not benefit from. It if it has something to remotely do with her she will at least put some effort into it. Some call it being conceited but she calls it not wanting to do the job. It’s been like this since she was in school. All her projects were turned in on the final day with it being completely half-assed.
clumsy and a little forgetful You know that girl always tripping over her feet? Well that is Ellie. She is usually tripping over her own two feet. She blames it on her forgetfulness. Someone will tell her that there is a pile of wires right where she’s walking and then she will trip over them five minutes later. Her legs are mostly bandaged up and she has been to the emergency room multiple times. Yes, her clumsiness has resulted in several broken ankles and arms. The blaming it on the forgetfulness is true though. She usually has to write things on her arms or repeat it over and over in her head so she can remember what she is supposed to do. She has a problem with getting distracted and forgets but she can’t help it. Alice claims that she has self diagnosed ADHD.
bada$$ potty mouth Maybe her clothes are a bit girly but don’t think she always has such a girly attitude. When she starts to drink her words slur and she her vocabulary is consists of mainly profane words. Ellie will become a pretty big rebel. She disregards all rules and makes up her own. Don’t get her confused for a jerk though. When she starts to curse it is odd and quite hilarious. It’s probably the lingering smile that makes it so funny, like she is a little kid who knows that if her parents found out they would kill her.

HISTORY December, one of the coldest months in Russia and also the month Alice was born in. On the sixteenth Lydia gave birth to a little girl named Alice, then the next week dropped her off at the orphanage. Even though the small village where she was born knew her mother was a prostitute. For the next four years she lived with nine other toddlers who also had no parents. Then one day she was told she was going to be adopted by a couple who lived in America. She was still too young to know where that was but she was happy to be getting a family. Within a few weeks she found herself meeting a young couple along with a strange looking translator. They didn’t speak Russian so she couldn’t really understand them but she really liked the looks of them. She wanted to get out of the smelly orphanage but things wouldn’t be that simple.
Even though things appeared to be looking up she was in for a surprise that the owners of the orphanage wouldn’t tell her. While she appeared she appeared to be a citizen of Leningradskaya she wasn’t a citizen of Russia. Instead of giving up the family decided they were still going to adopt but sadly Alice didn’t know this. She was left to think that she was going to live her whole life in the cold orphanage. Finally, when she was six years old she was visited by the same couple adopting her. This time they brought two kids with them; a fifteen year old girl and twelve year old boy. They had all learned a reasonable amount of Russian so she could actually carry a small conversation with them. She was so overjoyed that she was finally going to be adopted. But when she arrived in the sunny suburbs of Tampa Bay she found she was going to have some adjusting.
She developed a very close relationship with her brother within the first few years of living in America. She was also home schooled until she was pretty fluent in English. This took a few years so the first public school grade she attended was fourth grade. Unlike her parent’s fear that she wouldn’t make friends she found herself making an abundance of friends. To the other students she was strange and still pretty foreign so they all wanted to be friends with her. She found herself talking all the time, even when she wasn’t supposed too. Alice found herself getting several detentions for talking in class. It was all very typical, right?
This kind of stuff continued through high school. In her freshman year she found herself making friends with the older kids and also introduced to her first party. For the first time she also found herself drinking but she kept that a secret from her parents. Instead she kept them impressed with her clothing designs. She was never good with anything else since she usually go distracted in class, which was the only thing she was successful at. Alice never really did very well and she just slipped by in class. The only class she got an ‘A’ in was art and home economics. Plus she had other things to deal with, like her social life. This part of her life was always more important to her, the grades came second. Her parents were lenient on her, just claiming that she was still having trouble adjusting.
So for the rest of her high school she just slid by. She kept close ties with people and even made it into art college. It was hard for her to leave, especially when she heard they were forming a band. Ellie spent one semester in New York but late was dropped because she broke housing rules. With no where else to go she went back home but it wasn't for long. She concated her old friends to see how the band was going and was offered to come down to the recording studio to hear them. She offered to rap on a few tracks and after hearing them they offered her to be in a and with them. Having no other real options she took it up.

She had been listening to white noise for the past hour. Why? Well it was quite the story. Chantal’s original plan had to just put on some kind of noise while she got ready for the day but her cable didn’t have the same plan. Within just a few minutes of being turned on it went to snow and white noise without warning. She tried to fix it by restarting the box. Nothing. She unplugged and replugged cords. Nothing. She tried anything she could. Still, nothing. Finally she lay back onto the floor trying to think of another solution. She couldn’t think of anything to fix the television problem, well except to call the cable company but they weren’t open on Sundays. With no idea what to do her mind started to wander away from getting ready and to other matters. Matters she wasn’t too fond of reminding herself about. Still, something that was a pretty big deal in her life. It might have been something she could push to the back of her mind if she wasn’t dating Leon again. She began thinking about if she should bring it up, and if so how she should go about doing it. There Chantal lay on the floor like a zombie running things through her mind. For a second she came out of her trance and glanced at the clock on her wall. It hadn’t been that long, well at least for her, maybe ten minutes thinking about it.
She was dead wrong. In a half hour she was supposed to meet Leon at Starbucks. Her hair was still slightly wet and she only had a robe on at the moment. Her body practically jumped from the floor and made its way to the bathroom. The sleek mirrors no longer carried any condensation and the rest of the bathroom showed any sign of her taking a shower. She smeared on her normal make up, some foundation, eyeliner and mascara. Chantal combed out her long hair but left it in its naturally wavy state. She didn’t feel like she needed to look her best today. After she was done in the bathroom she mad her way to her closet quickly. Everything looked the same which seemed to prolong her ready time. She finally decided on something that seemed to say ‘I don’t give a shit how I look’ but in reality she felt like ‘I do give I shit and I don’t know why’. Chantal was sure no one would get the latter part, not even Leon.
Despite feeling like she was in a hurry, she was really taking her time. It wasn’t like she really was one for casual dating. This wasn’t really what she was used to. She knew it wasn’t really something that he was used to either. Who suggested that they actually go out and do something was beyond her. If it had come down to it she would have just went over to his house, like the old times. It wasn’t the old times, though, things had changed and maybe casual dating was the way to go. Plus, she wanted to stay ignorant to the fact that Leon may have been sleeping with another girl. Yes, it was kind of jacked up to think about but she had got used to that fact. They had barely started their relationship up again; she didn’t expect him to be any different. Of course she did hope things were different but there was reality to face. She grabbed her bag and the keys from her kitchen table then was out the door. It didn’t take her long to drive down to Starbucks, even in Sunday traffic.
As she pulled into the parking lot her eyes noted a familiar car. She must have really been late. She put the car into park but before getting out of the car, lit up a cigarette to calm her nerves. Inside she was frantic to find him but outside she looked calm. She scanned the outside patio and picked him out from the people. A sort of crook smile formed on her lips as she made her way to the tale and slid into a seat across from him. “Wow, you got here before me that’s really saying something,” she started in. Even though she said it out of impulse it sounded like the right kind of greeting.
