Place of Residence:Los Angeles
Birthplace: England
Father's Name: Richard Amherst, Professor
Mother's Name: Julia Amherst, Lawyer
Siblings: Elliott and ______ Amherst 18 {seniors}
History: 2-3 paragraphs
Meleny was born in the United States to Julia and Richard Amherst. Her father is originally from England where he used to teach at Oxford University. Her mother is a Lawyer from the states. Julia had been visiting in England where she met her husband in college. She was studying abroad when she met him in college. When Julia was 38 and Richard was 45, they got married in England. They were spending their honeymoon in England and the following month her twin brothers were born.
The desire for their children to succeed came from their professions. Julia was a Yale student and they both wanted their children to go to good high schools and colleges. However, fate had something different in store for them both. Both Meleny and her brothers showed great promise in the field of arts. One twin is an artist and the other is a musician (her brother Elliott is the musician). Meleny got her love of classical music from Elliott and her father. Meleny showed promise in the creative arts such as writing and she even sang with her brother Elliott sometimes.
Meleny's first time at Hollywood arts didn't go so smoothly. She struggled to make her parents proud of her. They wanted her to go to a prep or boarding school but she would rather go to Hollywood Arts. Elliott had once aspired to go to one of those two schools but instead chose music. Anyway, Meleny got beat up by a bully for being the class nerd and always studying. Her brother Elliott had come to her rescue and he also got beat up. He was already a nerd to begin with.
Now Meleny is in her sophomore year and things don't seem any easier. Her brothers are seniors and she's still struggling to graduate and dodging bullies. In the Academic classes, everyone is asking her for homework help and in the artsy classes, she's seen students going to her brother Elliott. She's afraid to write a blog for the Slap in case the seniors think it's uninteresting.
[For canons you are allowed to make up a history as long as it makes sense for the character. (Like Tori's parents are married, so they can't have gotten a divorce, Cat is a pretty happy person so her life couldn't have been tragic ect)]
better have looks or brains
everything else is trivial.
C-Box Name:Shana
Other Characters:none
Roleplay Sample: Jasmine woke up in her cage and tried her best to sit up comfortably. She just had another dream about bad things happening to Dorian. She didn't know why she kept having these dreams. Maybe it was because she felt guilty about their stupid fight and she also didn't have any closure to indicate he was alive and well. She sighed as she looked at the cages on either side of her. Bianca was asleep in the cage on her right. Being a slave really messed with her sleep schedule because she was up late with the vampires fighting for her life. To be honest she was also a little afraid to go to sleep because of her dreams. She always used the daytime hours to catch up on her missed sleep when the vampires hopefully went in for the day. Since the holding cells were on the streets, they most likely didn't come around when the sun was up.
Jasmine tried to inch her way towards the left side of her cage, taking great care not to let her chains make any noise. "Psst, Angelo, are you awake?"she hissed quietly to the slave in the cage on her left. She wanted to talk to him for a bit, at least until the sun went down or as long as she could until the vampires came out. For now it seemed they were vampire free because it was daylight. She didn't know what the vampires did with the slaves when it was time for them to get off the streets but now seemed like the perfect opportunity to have a long overdue brother-sister chat with Angelo.
Jasmine then became aware of quiet sobs shaking her body and she tried to raise one of her chained hands and clasp it to her mouth to quiet them. She didn't want to wake Bianca, or Angelo, if he too was catching up on some sleep. In her dreams, Dorian was either badly injured or dying. She wished she could be with him, hoping her dreams weren't prophetic, but she assumed only Angelo would know if Dorian was in any terrible danger. "Angelo?"she called out again choking on a sob and reaching out with one of her chained hands to touch her brother. The cages were side by side so it shouldn't be difficult to nudge him a little bit except for the fact that wearing chains restricted her movement so much that it annoyed her to no end.
