xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxSvetlana Alekovna Tarasova
x→I didn't chose this name, it was given to me; Svetlana Alekovna Tarasova
x→My name isn't too great so I prefer if you called me this Lana
x→Oh, I probably shouldn't tell you this, but I'm a Responsible Russian
x→If you can't tell by looking at me I am a Female
x→ I was created on a lovely day that would make me Seventeen on October 12th
x→I'm paired with the Dorky American
x→The voice inside my head is called, f o x r3naissance
x→My favorite color ever is Pink Grey Dusty pink
Give me this; I like very few things in this world, the rest are just pointless and a waste of time. The one thing that matters to me is sports and education. You got none of these? Then you are destined to have an unsuccessful life. I play all kinds of sports, I don't have a favourite. I like to win, that's the only point of the game. If you lose, you shouldn't play. Education is also very important, and I must receive good grades, nothing lower than an A. I like solitude also, and mature, serious people. Some might call me a stick in the mud, but I think it might be them who is the stick.
Take it away; I have a longer list of dislikes then likes, as I'm somewhat of a pessimist. I dislike to lose! The worst thing in the world, I was taught to win and only win. If you lose, then you're a loser. Also, failing in school is a tremendous fear of mine. It looks like I'm going to be the only Tarasova grand child to at least graduate High School, and I want to do that with a spotless record. I cannot stand immature or people who don't take things seriously, as I am a very serious person. It bugs me to no end when people ask me stupid questions, stupid people in general are just annoying. Rain, I hate the rain. And spiders, they're disgusting. I'll probably run away from them if I see one, and that will be the only time you'll see me run away from something.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxI'm not to interesting just so you know...
- I am from Russia, as you already know, or at least I hope you're smart enough to realize. I was born in Moscow but was raised in a very rural town, that you never heard of. It's not even on the map, yeah we were that secluded. The town was small, and everyone knew each other, which was nice. Though it was dead, everyone was dead on the inside. Everyone was so serious, it was always about work and the cattle. And as a child, I never understood why these people never smiled... But it soon rubbed off on me, and now I am as serious as they were. The winters were long and cold, but with Russian blood it never really affected anyone, as we all grew used to the icy weather. But the town was boring, the only thing you could do that was much fun was ice skating. And though I'm a terrific athlete, I cannot balance on the ice.
There was no future for anyone in that small village, unless you liked milking cows. Which some girls actually enjoyed, me on the other hand was growing very tiresome. The only thing a girl would end up achieving in this town would be a house wife, or some grand mother. And I would rather choose death than becoming a stay at home wife or an ugly, aged grandma. If I didn't get out before I was twenty years old, then there would be no hope for me getting out at all. But then a shining light revealed itself on the walls of my school, a flyer. It was advertising this thing called "Foreign exchange", which was a whole new thing to me. But quickly, I applied with hope and glee that they would choose me, Svetlana. The destination of the exchange was America, not so bad, better than the village.
And with crossed fingers, eyes, arms, toes, and legs, I hoped and dreamed to be chosen. Perhaps I could stay in America forever? My father told me that he didn't at all like the idea, but he knew how I was slowly just dying on the inside if I stayed. My mother furiously cried when she found out that I was the lucky winner, that I would be finally leaving the town for the first time in my life. Everything was great! I felt so God damned good to be getting out of here finally, my dreams finally coming true. Perhaps the Americans could show me some good old American foot ball? How I longed to play American sports... But then.. I found out that I would be rooming with an American... And that American was a boy! I just pray that he's not as stupid as all Americans are presumed to be. Oh and please don't let him be a horndog, I hate fighting off hormone filled boys.
I hope you don't find me too weird...xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
- I've already stated that I'm a very serious person, and take things very seriously. Even a stupid knock knock joke, you'll catch me saying "what was the point of that?" I don't get wild, drunk, or any crazy things that teenagers do lately. I'm responsible, nothing pasts these lips except for water... And perhaps Smirnoff, but you could understand that. I look out for myself, and only myself. That was the way back in Russia, you only had your ownself to protect you. No one else would do your dirty work. I'll help you if you direly need it, but I only help myself out. Call that selfish if you want, but it's only self preservation. I'm not the kind of girl to be all bubbly and smiles, to be honest, I hate those girls. If you even get me to smile, congrats! It's hard to make me even giggle. My Russian accent makes me sound much colder than I already am, and my penetrative gaze doesn't help much either. I look scary, I act mean, but on the inside, I could be nice. If you're that kind of person who I like, I would be willing to show you another side.

- ██████ SVETLANA TARASOVA『♕』██ █

yeahiget alittle bit crazy with the razorblades
↗↗⊰What lies before us and behind us aren't as important as what lies within us.⊱
⊰Outfit⊱
⊰Outfit⊱
It was quite the emotional departure as Svetlana hugged both of her parents good bye, well her mother was the one who's cries could be heard across the world. It was rather embarrassing for the young Russian teen, her mother being so loud that all the passer-bys would stare their way. It almost made the girl want to turn on her heel and quickly board the train, they lived in the most rural of Russia, and a train was needed in order to the airport. Svetlana rolled her eyes secretly and huffed, the only thing she could do was pat her mother on the back to console her. It would be the first time that their only daughter would be leaving the town, and her mother was under the assumption that Svetlana would be killed in America. It was hard to convince her mother to calm down, that in California, she wasn't going to get shot.
"Тише Мам, я собираюсь быть штраф" Svetlana whispered and consoled, her father on the other hand was like a statue. She couldn't even tell if her father was frowning or not, his big gray mustache covered all of his mouth. "Я не могу остаться надолго, поезда здесь" the Russian teen murmured to both of her parents, in an attempt to escape her mother's deadly grasp. And with out another word, she gave her parents one last hug as they said their final good byes. It wasn't hard for Svetlana to leave her blubbering mother and her stoic father behind as they watched her board the battered up train. This was the first step to her freedom, and Svetlana wasn't going to let emotions and ties get in the way of that. As cruel as that may sound, she was literally dying in that small village. The static town she used to live in was slowly choking the life out of her, it was a complete dead end for any girl with a dream. And this 'foreign exchange' was Svetlana's ticket out of the stink hole. Yeah, her story is pretty common; girl with big dreams stuck in a small town. The whole theme has been made into plenty of movies before, but once you're actually living the story, you could understand any teenager's desperate plea to flee.
Finally she placed herself on a seat next to the window, not even staring out as the train slowly started to move on the tracks. She had no intention on looking back, even to see if her crying mother was giving her final wave. Yes, Svetlana had a cold heart, even to her old dear mother. It would be a fearful attempt for any one to try to defrost this Russian girl, was it even manageable? The girl doubted the very existence of love, that it was only hormones raging in one's body. The only love the girl held for was for sports. But, in reality, if Svetlana just opened that cold heart of her's, she could get a date any day of the week. Just look at her, dark brown hair that's long and looks beautiful when it's messy. Her brown eyes changing entirely, from dark brown to the lightest of hazel. Her skin was also fair, looking as if it were porcelain or if the girl never had a minute of sun. Yes, she was a beauty, and she had heard this all before. That doesn't change her mind one small bit about the in existence of the feeling of love.
It took hours for the train to finally pull up in Moscow, Svetlana's hometown. And it was only 9 in the morning, which means she boarded the train in the earliest of hours. The girl was an early bird, so even know as she had only 3 hours of sleep, she was awake as any raven. This would be her first ever plane ride, and it was fairly frightening. It looked like a giant hawk, but even more so dangerous than any diving bird. On the inside, she would admit that she was fearful, but on the outside. She looked like a daring girl, ready to take on the western world. And with that, a sigh and a gulp, Svetlana put the rest of her luggage in the storage compartment and sat in her chair. She had checked in her winter coat, knowing how hot it would be in California, and now was wearing a simple black cardigan and her boots.
The announcement came on, the friendly voice of an experienced pilot spoke in English. A language that was not so foreign to young Svetlana, she was able to speak fluently, as if she was born there. Except her Russian accent often got in the way of her English speech. As hopeful as Svetlana was to get this big mechanical bird off the ground, that was not at all going to happen. At least for another couple hours said the pilot. The Russian snow had prevented lift off, creating a terrible delay. Great, just what Svetlana needed, to be stuck in another part of Russia. With any luck, the American boy would not leave before she had arrived. Then the fear struck her, what if she were too arrive in America too late? What if the young American boy became fed up with Svetlana's tardy and decided to leave? She'd have to be sent back! With out even a memoir of what America was even like! And with all these thoughts, Svetlana gripped the armrest out of fear. Praying that the damn Russian snow would stop falling.
Translations:
"Тише Мам, я собираюсь быть штраф": Hush mom, I'm going to be alright.
"Я не могу остаться надолго, поезда здесь" I can't stay for long, the train is here.

go on and call your mama if you need a bandaid

ARIELLE
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxde la VALLIERE [✰]
xxx

- xxxOh ballerina, ballerina. How you twirl and dance, with your light pink tutu and hair up in a bun. Being a ballerina is a dream for most little girls, as they demand their mothers to take them to ballet practice. But being a ballerina who couldn't dance, what was the point of that? Who would doom a pretty ballerina to immobilization? Arielle looked like a ballerina, she had the the tutu and the pretty slippers; and she even twirled around in fifth position. But that was all the dancing she was able to do, that she was created to do. A man named Cristoph de la Valliere in France created many beautiful objects, and he had created Arielle as well. She was the only music box that he had ever created, and it was a beautiful thing.
It was a small wooden box, enough to hold a hand full of jewelery. And when you lifted the delicate box open, there Arielle would raise and sweet music would begin. This tiny music box was all the rage in Paris, everyone wanted what Cristoph had created. But no one could have it. It was too precious to Arielle's creator, that he became quite selfish. Instead of selling her to the highest bidder, and there were a lot of high bids. He stuffed her into a box and hid her away in the back of his store. It was the longest, and darkest two years of Arielle's life. Back here, she could no longer hear the conversations of her creator and his customers. Nor could she hear the gleeful cheer of the kiddies who would stop in after school, she had her thoughts and only her thoughts. She could feel the dust collecting, as he forgot to close the box before storing her away.
Seeing the light again was becoming very doubtful, and Arielle soon lost all hope... It had been two years, nothing was going to change. That was, until, she heard a very unfamiliar voice. A woman's voice, she sounded nice and caring. And then, something utterly shocking. Arielle could feel that the box she was in being moved to another location. The box was then settled down, and now more voices entered the room. None of them being her creator, which Arielle had not heard his voice in years. Then, it was like a miracle, the box opened, letting a bright light shine in. It was indeed a woman who had picked the box up, and now was smiling down on Arielle as she held her in her hands. She spoke English, something Arielle was not familiar with, but was just too happy to care.
That's where Arielle's life changed, the nice American lady wrapped her in a protective blanket and took her away. But she did not stay with this woman for long, again Arielle's home changed rather quickly as she was given away to another woman. A pregnant lady, probably expecting the birth of her child in a few months. And this is where Arielle has stayed for the rest of her toy life, it was enjoyable and she felt at home. Soon, the lady did give birth, to a lovely girl. Who as she grew up, wanted to be a dancer too, as she told Arielle for the past years.
That was a lot to think back on as Arielle now began to rest on the dresser, another day had past, and the night soon came. The daughter was now about nineteen years old, and Arielle was made twenty-one years ago. The house was silent, everyone was ready to sleep, and so was the young ballerina.
It didn't seem like she had a full night's rest, it felt she slept for only an hour. But if she looked over to the clock, it had been indeed eight. Wait.. She just turned her head to look over to the clock, something she has never been able to do on her own. Did she break? Did her head fall off? In a panic, she looked down, hoping her body hadn't cracked.. But what she saw, almost brought a scream to pass her now mobile lips. Arielle was no longer glued to the box and now sitting against the dresser on the floor, in a human body! She had movable arms, legs, and toes! She could wiggle her toes! Thankfully, along with her own growth, the tutu became large as well. And with a quick look with her blue eyes, she saw everything in a new dimension.
Oh how Arielle wanted to move, how she wanted to just dance! But as she looked over to the bed beside the dresser, there was the girl. Still resting, her eyes shut peacefully in slumber. If Arielle moved around, she feared waking up the poor nineteen year old. How awkward would that be? So instead, of discovering what her new human body was capable of, she stayed on the floor. Patiently waiting for the human girl to awake.

ღ Name: Anemone Eva de Lio
ღ Position: 2
ღ Age: 17
ღ Gender: Female
ღ Race: Human
ღ Ability: None
ღ Weapons: Hand to hand combat
ღ Biography: Anemone lived in a regular house, that over looked a very steep cliff. The house was rather small, normal sized for a normal sized family, but for Anemone's family.. It was way too small, and could barely hold the 10 kids, 5 aunts and uncles, and all the other family members that came to live there. Yes, it was a very large family. Alone and private time were never available, as everyone was in your business. Though it was a loving place to be, everyone was there for one other. It was quite suffocating for Anemone, who just wanted to go explore the world on her own.
She had big dreams, and this tiny house couldn't hold them either. The girl wished to travel, and help others. And though she was much help back home, Anemone wanted to extend her helping hand to the rest of the world. But recently, there has been a large death within the family. The oldest grandfather just past away, one of three grandfathers. He was the one who built this house, and everyone was so attached, even the youngsters that barely knew him. Anemone couldn't leave now, she had broken hearts to mend. Though she was upset as well, she puts other people's needs ahead of her own.
ღ Personality: Anemone is fairly quiet and shy, she's not the best conversationalist. She prefers to stay somewhat in the shadows and away from the spotlight, and don't even try to compliment her. She won't take it and try to reason the opposite. The girl stutters when she is frightened or nervous, this is actually somewhat of a problem for Anemone, as she is easily frightened. The poor girl can't even talk to a boy, let alone just give one a simple handshake. You'll be able to tell if she's embarrassed, her face will quickly blush ruby red. Though, beneath all this shyness, Anemone is a kind girl. Possibly the sweetest 17 year old you'll ever meet.
ღ Likes:
- ௰ Animals, stuffed and real
- ௰ Sunny weather, warm weather
- ௰ The kindness of others
ღDislikes:
- ௰ Spiders!
- ௰ Being in awkward situations
- ௰ Ignorance and stupidity
ღ What Else: Her hair is extremely long, almost touching the ground.

xxxxxxANEMONE eva DE LIO

to the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world. ↙↙
It was loud, noisy, and almost deafening. They shouted and yelled their good byes, as Anemone tried to hug every one of her family members. She had a lot of them, and had been at this for probably half an hour already, but it had to be done before she left. Why is she leaving? You might ask, if you cared enough to know. Anemone de Lio is a part of the royal family, she might not look like it, but by the blood line she is. That's quite awesome, is it not? You get all the riches, power, fame; well that's not exactly Anemone's case. Instead, she had to take the fall for the human race. Meaning, having to arrange a marriage with either an angel or demon. But thank God, she could choose between either one.
"Yes yes, I love you too, and I'll miss you all... Wish I didn't have to leave.. But I'll be seeing you all soon! Please don't worry about me," Anemone announced to her family, almost starting in tears as she waved and began to walk away. There, in the drive way, was the girl's car. It wasn't anything fancy like a camaro, but it got her to the places she needed to be. Anemone was offered a ride to the pre-destined place where everyone was supposed to meet, yes, there were other poor souls in this decision as well. But, she thought driving might help her think, and she had a lot to think about. It might be easy to just choose, but it depends on what she chooses. And whomever she does choose, can greatly affect how people see her. The angel might be the most obvious choice; they're kind, sweet, and generally handsome. Everyone likes an angel right? But also, the demon provides mystery, allure, and all the demons she has known have been quite sexy. Though... The humans aren't as fond of them..
"What if I choose someone my mother doesn't like... What if everyone hates me because I fall for a demon? Oh too much pressure, too much." The blue haired girl mumbled to herself as she pushed her foot lightly onto the gas and shifting gears, the girl drove a standard. Though she wished it was an automatic, the car was a gift from her father.. So she didn't want to upset him. She could see the building in the distance, where everyone was supposed to head to so they could become acquainted with one another. And in the pit of Anemone's stomach, the nervous sphere that lodged itself into her, only grew larger. She knew once she stepped through those doors, she would be put into an awkward position. What if no one liked her? What if no boy took interest? Oh God... Now she was just scaring herself further as her mind wandered from the road. HONK! An angered driver behind her raged, Anemone had the green light but her car stayed put. "AH! I'm sorry!" She yelled and pushed harder on the gas, hopefully to make it through the yellow.
Now the girl was reckless ball of nerves, she was literally shaking as she turned the engine off. Partly because of that little incident back at the intersection, and partly because she had just pulled up into the building. Anemone couldn't tell if others had arrived already, and she quietly prayed that she hadn't been the first to show. It took a full 5 minutes for her to be able to get out of the car, oh how she was easily frightened. But she managed to, it was kind of demanded of her that she did. Quickly, she gave herself a quick touch up, brushing her long blue hair and smoothing out any wrinkles. With one big breath, she walked into the building, hoping that this was the right place.
Inside, it was quite beautiful; the building was already large on the outside. Well that's this town for ya, only doing the biggest and best. There stood two young ladies, either older or younger than Anemone, but appeared to be in the same age group. It was uncertain if they were human; seeing as all demons and angels looked fairly similar. It was awkward to walk in on them, they were probably already in a conversation with each other, oh shoot, did she interrupt? Anemone's eyes averted to the floor, hoping neither girl noticed her.. But this was no way to behave, nothing good ever happened to an anti-social. After taking a few steps closer to both of the girls, she took a silent deep breath in. "Hello, sorry if I'm interrupting you two.. But I'm Anemone de Lio.. Here for.. The arranged marriage thing?"

xxxGOING DEEPER ??
- ⊰ Once upon a time...
xxx Her mother was a peaceful homemaker, who loved nothing more than just to bake and clean. Ariel's father was a Lieutenant in the French army, he had been in many wars and was very protective of his only daughter. So, for most of her young life, she lived with her mother. They were in fact rich, or more like better off than their neighbours. They had enough money to afford help, like maids and butlers. The girl never lived a day in her life where she had to do something by herself, or went hungry. But, she hardly saw her father ever. He was always away on business, you know, military business. She had always been daddy's little girl, so it was hard for her to wave him off. But.. Ariel's mother didn't have the same trouble of sending off her husband as Ariel did.
As a wife, you get lonely when your husband is off at war. And Ariel's mom became too lonely, and looked to other men to take care of her loneliness. She would try and hide these unchaste acts from her daughter, but it never worked. Ariel would always see what her mother was doing behind her father's back, and it disgusted her. But.. She couldn't bring herself to tell her father when he would come back home. Afraid that it would destroy the small family she had, and she didn't want to lose her father for ever. When her father finally retired from his position in the military, Ariel was extremely excited. Her dad would now stay at the house forever! Never having to go leave ever again, it was her wish come true. Though, her mother didn't like this at all, and wasn't happy that her excursions would be put to an end. So out of the blue, and I mean literally, right out of the blue. Ariel's mother filed for a divorce, claiming that her husband had made her depressed and she could no longer take it. Her father never wanted to sign the documents, he was deeply in love with Ariel's mother.. But he knew if he didn't put his signature down, then it wouldn't make his now ex wife happy. And that was the only thing that mattered to him, besides his daughter.
In the end, Ariel's mother didn't fight for custody and took half of their things. Flying away half across the world to America, to where one of her new boyfriends were living. Ariel and her father had also decided to move out of their mansion, it held too many memories of their past. This all happened at the tender age of 7, and yet, Ariel took it on like a mature woman. Understanding why the divorce had to happen, but deep inside. She was of course quite upset, more at the fact her mother didn't want her at all. But the new and sudden move to Japan soon lifted Ariel's spirits, if only slightly; she still was happy. It was slightly weird to only live with her father now in a medium sized fancy apartment. It was a drastic change from having two parents in a 14 bedroom mansion, but she could transition. The hardest part for the both of them, was when Ariel was becoming a teenager. Oh how awkward it was when she began her menstruation cycle... And when her father had to explain the birds and the bees. Oh wait, he never did..
Instead of going over vital facts about sex, what to do, what would happen.. He just didn't explain anything, even though Ariel did learn from the other kids. The only thing her father ever told her was to stay away from boys, they were trouble and no boy was allowed to have his daughter. Her father made this very clear, she was not allowed to date until she was at least in her twenties or out of his house! But he didn't just tell her this, he made all boys who came close to Ariel know this. And at a young age, Ariel agreed, she didn't like boys. She was even thankful for her father sending her to an all girl's school, where she wouldn't catch "cooties" But like all little girls who hate little boys, they grow up and realize... That they actually want something to do with the opposite sex! And when she became an official teenager, she tried to make her father budge on the whole 'no boyfriend's rule. It didn't seem like he would move an inch, causing Ariel to be the only girl who didn't have a boyfriend in her group of friends.
Though, during the summer... Something actually quite magical had happened, causing a change in everyone's lives! Ariel's school had burnt down, because of an electrical storm. Oh joy! Now, the students had two options; to go to a public school.. Or attend the private school for boys! But there was one condition, that Ariel surprisingly didn't mind at all. The girls who would now attend Ochi Academy, would become the attending male's maids, and yes, a maid costume would be involved. At this school, her father couldn't tell her what to do anymore. And Ariel was surprised that he even let her attend this school; must have been because the academy is highly praised. Now with this sudden change, it showed as an opportunity to the girl.. To finally obtain a boyfriend! And oh yes, it was now possible, and she wasn't going to let this chance get away.. Even if she would become annoying and clingy, hopefully that doesn't have to happen.
⊰ I've always acted this way.
xxx Underneath all this boy crazy, clingy and obsessive behaviour; she can actually be a nice girl. Ariel can seem a bit day dreamy, with her head in the clouds and such, and sometimes it may seem that she is hardly paying attention to you if you are trying to talk to her. Well this isn't the case, Ariel often makes herself busy with projects, that include trying to get a boyfriend or just homework. Once you catch Ariel on a not so busy day, she will act nice and friendly, which is pretty much her default emotion. She enjoys being around people and making friends, though many people do not like her because of her obsessive personality.
Like mentioned earlier, Ariel makes herself busy with projects, and when she starts on a project she sees it through. She is not the one to procrastinate or be lazy, Ariel detests lazy people, and cannot stand a slacker. If you are Ariel's partner in a science project, then you might as well let her do all the work, because she is also a perfectionast among other things. Other than that, if anyone finds Ariel in the hallway and randomly talks to her, they'd be surprised out how friendly she really is. But when she is dealing with a boy that she likes, Ariel can get too friendly and too over the top. Though if you are a boy. and you are Ariel's list of "Potential boyfriends" You may not want to be too nice to her, she often takes things the wrong way all the time. She analyzes every single thing. You compliment her, she'll take it as flirting.
If you're a girl, and you also like the boy Ariel likes... Prepare for a silent battle. She doesn't like it when she has competition, because she often loses. And she won't give up, she's way to determined now. This is why she is often stubborn about things, and likes it to be her way. The girl is somewhat of a perfectionist, and everything has to be perfect. That's what her dad taught her at least. But when she's around a boy that she likes... Oh boy. The girl can't do anything right, it's like her brain has stopped. And she blushes a lot too, something that is greatly embarrassing. For a friend, she will do anything, as the girl is very kind hearted. If you're down, she'll try to cheer you up.. But may become frustrated when you won't comply, because Ariel is slightly impatient... She really can't stand to wait around, it irritates her like no tomorrow. If you manage to catch her attention, like mentioned before, she has her head in the clouds. Then Ariel will most likely pay attention to whatever you are saying, even if it's boring! That's how she manages to do so well in her classes.
⊰ Mirror, mirror on the wall?
xxx When you first look at Ariel, you will see a pretty girl. Yes, she isn't oddly grotesque or dis formed. Though she kind of feels that she is, seeing as she has never had a boyfriend (though partially it's not her fault). She doesn't get a lot of compliments either, so Ariel just believes that people don't think she's that pretty or something. Though she won't tell people this, afraid they might think she's fishing for compliments. Anyways, getting on to her actual appearance. The girl has long, silky, light pink hair. It's naturally straight, which Ariel is so thankful for! Because it would probably take hours to straighten it. It's the kind of hair that some girls might die to have, it's really easy to style. Her hair goes past her waist, and can sometimes be a pain. She usually styles it so it flips out at the end, or wears it up. If she had the patience, she would curl it. Her eyes are also pink, but a dark pink; almost mauve if you know what that is. If you're a girl, hopefully you would know. Though if you're a boy, you would say her eyes are pink.
Ariel isn't all that tall, which she hates so much! She wishes she was 5'7".. But instead, she's only 5 feet! Oh why does she have to be so small, why God why? They say good things come in small packages, well at least everyone tells her that. And she hates that more than being short. Her bust... Well that's also on the small side, she's a B cup.. And hates it too. All the idols have rather large cup sizes, and they are adored by all men. So she's short and has a small chest, oh yay. Other than that, her skin is fairly pale, like milk. Ariel gets complimented on her skin mostly, it's smooth and clear. Though, she cannot tan at all which kind of sucks. Her skin is also freckle free and beauty mark free.
Besides the new maid costume she'll be wearing for the rest of her stay at Ochi academy, Ariel usually dresses well. She likes to wear bright clothing, and the most girly things you could find. Skirts are greatly preferred to shorts and pants, and she usually wears white leggings underneath. Her favourite colour to wear is white, but that's not a colour... Ah well! She usually wears dainty flats or cute doll like shoes. Ribbons and frills are practically a must for this girl. But when she does get a little lazy, which does not happen often! Ariel prefers to wear... Sweats. Yes that's right, paired with a good old pair of converse! But when she's not lazy, the girl likes to wear jewelery with almost every outfit.

Oh the day was just beginning, the sun quite literally just coming up over the mountains. And a girl by the name of Ariel Veva la Roux, was already wide awake. Starting her day quite early, just opening her eyes at the near crack of dawn. Which was around 5 o'clock, what an early bird! Was she just excited to start her first day at her new school? Or was she just a little narcotic? Actually, it's just a tiny bit of both! Currently the light pink haired girl was getting dressed, but not in her usual fashion. Oh no.. This was far from being the 'norm' for Japanese school girls, which technically; she's not Japanese at all. Though still attends a private academy located in Japan, and the school was completely only for girls. The way her father liked it, and it only drove Ariel crazy. She loved living in Japan, it was very different from her home country of France. Yes, the girl is French; she lost her accent a long time ago. But when requested; Ariel can speak it fluently or put on her familiar French accent on. It's just her and her father living here, in a small but very expensive condo in the rich district of Japan. Ariel's mother, obviously currently not living with them... But instead chasing after younger fancies in America, after the dreadful divorce. As you can tell, her mother didn't take custody of her only daughter. This happened at a young age, Ariel has now gotten well over it. Living with her father has been great, no complaints whatsoever... Besides.. Well ok! Living with a retired lieutenant of the French army is not so easy..
For one thing, everything had to be orderly. Everything packed away neatly, and manners were very much needed in the house or in his presence. You say that's a hard life? Of course you must be doubting how uncomfortable Ariel's life was. That wasn't the only annoying thing that her father ordered, there was one other rule. There were absolutely going to be no boys under his roof, and not near his only daughter. So this only means, that throughout Ariel's teenage life. She was not allowed to have any boyfriends, and even if she did have one; she wouldn't be able to hide it from her father. She continuously watched other girls and boys date, holding hands, and kissing. The anger and annoyance just grew larger and larger with each passing couple; how she wanted that exact same thing! But.. It was unobtainable. Now do you see how uncomfortable her life was? And yes, I do mean was. During the past summer, there has been a very fortunate fire... An electrical storm caused Ariel's academy for girls to go into a blazing flame. Every student went into a fit of joy! But the parents on the other hand... They were upset by the two options given to them. They could either choose to send their daughter to a public school.. Or let their daughters attend a private boy's academy... With a catch. They would attend as maids, wearing the full maid attire and filling out the duties. The right choice might be obvious to you, but, these parents want the best education for their young ones... And Ochi Academy could supply that better than any public school too. So they paid the price, forcefully making their daughters become slaves. Well that's how some saw it, as slave work... Ariel is quite odd in a sense, that she is actually looking forward to this. Crazy, right? Quite so. She finds this to be the best opportunity to finally 'snag one', in her terms meaning get a boyfriend. Who could resist a girl in a maid costume? Boys are pervs, it will definitely work.
A smile on her face as she pulled her new uniform over her shoulders; how cute! It was a rather plain uniform, her father wouldn't let her get anything too sexy, sadly. It was black in colour and only went about to the middle of her thigh. The outfit had white frills lacing the bottom as well as her elbow length sleeves. The ecru coloured matched as Ariel delicately tied it at the back, excited to show her new attire off. The girl had other little accessories to go along with the outfit, like a cute little frilly head piece and a matching neck piece. But walking around in public with those, would be a little too embarrassing. And Ariel would just have to put them on later.. When she met up with her chosen male, the one she would be serving for the rest of the school year.Her pink hair delicately flipped up at the ends, it was long and straight; perhaps too long for Ariel's liking. But she wouldn't dare cut it off, in fear that short hair doesn't attract boys as good as long. Yes, that is all she thinks about. Boys. Boys. Boys. Some might say the girl is boy crazy, but Ariel thinks of herself as just determined.
"With this outfit... All the boys will want me to be their maid," Ariel said to herself with a mischievous giggle as she looked at herself in the mirror. She never looked quite as good as she did now, hopefully the effort would go a long way. A loud sound of someone clearing their throat entered Ariel's room, and in the mirror; she saw her father. His face was absolutely priceless! As if he had seen a ghost, but wanted to beat it up. It was weird for her father to choose Ochi Academy over another public school, but just like the other parents. He held education in its highest praise, and couldn't let his daughter attend just any school.
"Ahem... Ari, are you ready?.. I want to leave now." Her father ordered, making it obvious that he was clearly uncomfortable with the outfit. He showed it as he began to play with his pearly coloured mustache hairs, tweaking them as he tweaked out himself. "Oui father, I think it is about time we left." The girl replied with a cute nod, following out of her room after her father's lead. They both entered a luxurious car, ebony and shining; it looked almost like a limo. Though, the car ride was awkward. Way more awkward than it normally was, considering the fact that Ariel was dressed up almost cosplay style. And in the back of her father's mind, he was well freaking out. Oh how he wouldn't be able to prevent his little daugther's innocence from being tainted. She was daddy's little girl, but when she came back home; who will she be?
Ariel was more than happy to exit the car, now having arrived at her new school. She almost leaped right out of the window! "Ahem! Ariel, we now part here... But, remember, my rule about boys still apply... I'll miss you." Her father awkwardly gave her a hug after they had both gotten out, but still was never able to say 'I love you.' "Yes, yes Father.. I know. I'll miss you too, I'll make sure to write when I get the time." Ariel responded with a smile and gave her father a better hug than he gave her. And with that, the two family members went different ways. What an awkward good bye, huh? The girl didn't look back to see if the car had already drove off, when she entered the academy... She could only think of one thing. Does that need mentioning? There were seldom girls at the school already, most of them in uniform, and some taking turns in the washroom. The school quickly agreed to taking the girls in, that they hardly had any time to adjust the facilities. So unfortunately, the girls and Ariel would be using the old boy's washrooms.. That still had those weird fountain things against the wall.
The first thing that all girls had to do upon arriving was to register, letting the school know that they were here. Though, once they had finished with that, the next thing to do was wait. Yes, wait either in the lobby or in the office; most girls including Ariel, chose the comfortable looking lobby. Which was as prestigious as her old school, with a touch a class as well. Ariel could hardly contain herself, she was going to go into a frenzy. They were made to wait in order for their 'master' to pick them up, as if they were picking up a new pet from the pet store. There were not a lot of traffic in the hallways just yet, Ariel had arrived a little too early. 'Great, I'm probably going to have to wait here and hour or more.. Ah well, this chair is comfortable..' The girl thought, as her deep pink eyes roamed the lobby. She had never once seen this many boys, the damn academy for girls made sure of that. 'Oh I wonder if he will be my master?! Or him? Or could it be him?!... Oh please not him.. WAIT! Oh God, is it that guy? Please tell me that cute blond is mine!' Ariel frantically thought, almost already bored with waiting. She kind of wished she waited to dress in her new uniform at school, so she would at least have something to do. The girl's music mp3 was located in her pink suitcase that laid at her ankles... She would attempt to get it, but that would mean having to go through hundreds of clothes... And Ariel didn't even know which suitcase it was in; since she had 3.. The girl over packed, unsure of what to bring and what not to bring. Practically packing her whole closet.

xxxGOING DEEPER ??
- ⊰ Once upon a time...
xxx You wouldn't be able to tell by looking at Satoru, but his family is quite rich.. Actually, extremely rich. You know his last name very well, from Kurogane Games. His father started this business when he was his son's age, and it has boomed since video games have become extremely popular amongst the youth. This is where Satoru's game addiction began, as he was one of the very important game testers. He received all video games that his father's company developed, and he got them all before they went to the stores. And all this game play, lead to a rather unpopular social life for that of young Satoru. But he was only a kid then, and could hardly care what others would say. But now, he's considered a geek, a loser, and he a computer nerd. Though in reality, he's not even as smart as a so called nerd. His grades are actually really lacking. But anyways! Let's get back to the PAST.
Because of his father's extremely popular business, his father and his mother were not around a lot. They traveled on business most of the time, going to other game companies across the world. So, this lucky kid got his own house! That's right, his parents bought him his own home, and it's not just a regular bachelor apartment. It nestles in the rich society, with two floors and many rooms and baths. He doesn't even have to pay a rent or mortgage! Because technically, it is somewhat of a 'summer home'. Because he attends Ochi Academy, a school that has dorms for their students. But when Satoru is at home, it's like heaven. He has everything he needs, games, computers, geeky gadgets. If only he had a lot of friends to bring back to this magnificent place, he has a few... But in all honesty, they're on the annoying side. The only downfall of having his own house is that he shares it... With his little sister! Who's like 10 years younger than him!
He's practically a babysitter when he's at home, having to watch over his little sister Ayame. It's quite a pain; Satoru doesn't even get paid for this business. His little sister is the most annoying-est thing on the whole planet, and that's not even sibling rivalry talking. She literally is a demon. But everyone thinks she's the cutest thing ever! Oh how cute her lisp is~ Oh look at her dress~ It goes on and on and on... But behind the scenes, Satoru is actually bullied by his younger sister.. And he won't ever ever admit that, but it happens. She bullies him into doing things for her, then just ends up abusing him later. If this was anyone else's younger sister, they would probably just tell her to quit it and just end it right there. Satoru has tried many times when they were both younger, but soon gave up. He is so tiresome of her antics, that he barely even blinks an eye anymore. Though thankfully, Satoru has been given some help and doesn't have to deal with his sister alone. His two aunts, lesbian lovers, not related. Come over once in a while to help out, and if it weren't for them he'd go insane.
Because his parents are never home, he just lazes around. When he isn't lazing around, he's gaming, or reading. Satoru doesn't lead an interesting life, I mean there is probably bread out there that's more interesting. He sometimes wishes that he was more popular at school, that he had beautiful ladies hanging off his arms... Only in his dreams. I bet you're bored now from even reading this, Satoru would be more interesting and less geeky if he could. But he is just far to addicted now, he honestly lives in his computer. The only time he gets out of his room is either to roam the rest of the house, or if school is in. His parents literally had to tear him from his computer, to go on a VACATION. Soon it became too much of a hassle to try to get Satoru off his computer chair, and soon they left him when they went away to Hawaii or some other tropical place.
He doesn't have much of a relationship with his mother, which is actually sad. They love each other, yes. But there's no actual bond between them, it's almost like they're strangers. Satoru tries to patch this relationship up, he honestly does try. He likes to involve his mother in his interests, like video games and computers... But she isn't very interested, and makes a very strong point of it too. She often says that he should grow up, because he's technically an adult now. Sometimes she even mentions that she's disappointed in the social life Satoru has lead up until now. He tries his best not think of the disdain his mother has for him, often trying to push these feelings deep down inside. Pretending that it doesn't even matter, that she's just trying to motivate him into doing better things with his life... But Satoru isn't stupid, he knows she isn't just motivating him. And that she only speaks the truth when she slanders him.
His father and him on the other hand, have a perfect relationship together. Like father like son, his dad would always say and rub his head. His father is swell that Satoru has taken in so much interest in games, the other geeky stuff he doesn't mind. It's perfect, because now when he passes, Satoru can happily take over Kurogane Games. But, the bond between him and his father is almost purely business. Wow, what a sad life huh? The only real thing that keeps Satoru happy is well, you guessed it, gaming. And girls, though he can only have one. Girls are practically un-obtainable for Satoru, either he's too scared to even ask a girl out, or girls are hardly interested in him.
But when he had heard of the news, the oh so exciting news! One of the private girl academies had burnt down in the past summer, and the girls have to go somewhere right? Well the ones who chose to attend Ochi Academy have something quite interesting in store for them. They have to act like maids, and each boy get his own personal slave maid. Satoru is greatly excited for this; perhaps he'll get a cute girl? Though even if he was paired with a cutie, nothing could or would happen. She'll catch whiff that Satoru is a geek, and head in the other direction. Also, he knows he wouldn't be able to force the girl into doing too much work... He'd eventually start to feel guilty.
⊰ I've always acted this way.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxDEDICATED♞
Whether it's a new game he's starting, or a friendship that just blossomed. Satoru is dedicated to finish everything, and stick with it until the very end. You won't catch him saying "Oh I'll finish this game later" it has to be done now, or it won't ever get finished. Surprisingly, he doesn't apply this to homework... If he were to apply this determination to homework, he'd probably be a straight A student. Though if you do have him as a friend, you know he is totally dedicated to the relationship. Even if it's rocky, he wants nothing more than to fix it up! Rather than have it wither away. You can see this with the relationship between his mother and himself. He doesn't want to let it go, no matter how much his mother proves to him that she doesn't care.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxCLEVER♞
The boy's mind is quite quick, he's not super intelligent.. But he can think up a few insults on cue if he had to. Satoru doesn't show this cleverness quite often, and usually just uses it on his games. You won't know it by looking at him either, and must just assume he's just another loser gamer. But he's actually really skilled, and his cleverness is something to blame. He can solve puzzles and riddles so quick, it will blow your mind.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxSHY♞
Satoru doesn't interact much with others, besides the small circle of friend's he has. He's more comfortable with a couple of his buddies than being at a party, he feels more secure. Also, he knows no one would be interested in the American Star Trek as much as he and his friends are. The boy just needs a confident boost, because as you can tell; he lacks it. This is one of the many reasons he doesn't talk to the girls as much as he would like to; he's extremely shy around them. Almost gun shy, but now he's being forced to interact with one.. He might as well make the best of it.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxKIND♞
Just like any other human in the world, Satoru also has a heart, a pretty big one at that. He likes to comfort people, and make them feel better. The boy cannot stand any one who is upset, it just breaks his heart. And you can guess, he's a big softy. Even though he's sister is big time annoying, Satoru loves her to death and watches over her. It's his little sister, so it's like his duty. But even for a friend, or even a stranger; he can't help but to be kind. He hates when girls cry, it's like the worst thing in the world. Not because it can be annoying, but it makes him sad as well.
.
⊰ Mirror, mirror on the wall?
xxx To start off with, Satoru is really really pale. He's not albino or sickly looking though, but you can tell he's in need of some sun! His hair is a dark blue, some people often confuse it with black... Which is actually pretty annoying, it's clearly blue. It's short, just normal 'boy hair' though, he does have bangs.. Which some people find weird, but Satoru honestly doesn't care. His hair can be somewhat greasy, he's not all the keen on washing it. Although, he's making an exception when his maid starts living with him! No way is Satoru going to have nasty hair in the presence of a female. The boy's eyes match his hair, dark blue; thankfully not confused for black. It's kind of a boring combination; blue hair and blue eyes. But, it's a semi-good looking combo. He stands pretty tall, at 6 feet. Definitely not from his father, who is like 5 inches shorter than he is.
There's not much that is overly special about Satoru; he isn't ugly but not drop dead gorgeous. His looks are rather typical, almost every other boy in the school looks just like him. The difference is that Satoru is the tall one, and that's how he is usually pointed out as. His hands are rather quite large, not monkey man hands... But definitely something that's a little out there. Though, he has an awesome grip... No.. No just his right hand you perve. But both of his hands can hold on pretty well, his grip is deathly from video gaming. Satoru is pretty casual, doesn't really style his hair and just blow dries it. And if he could, he would wear casual clothes all the time at school, but yet he's stuck wearing a dumb uniform. He hates dressing up for anything, a tux just suffocates him.

xxxxxxx⊱You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.⊰
The night had quickly disappeared and soon the sun rose above the horizon, waking up a boy who did not want to move from his bed. It felt like Satoru only went to bed a couple of minutes ago, he did not feel well rested at all. If you were to say that he felt like crap, you would be right on the button. With a groan and a flick of his legs, Satoru twitched and battled against the fact that he needed to get up. Today, was a very special, but terrifying day. He had not even prepared his own room for the arrival of his new 'maid'. The room was completely littered in homework and scrap paper, paper balls laid near the garbage can and absolutely everywhere. There was still food in its plate or bowl that has probably been there for weeks, or let's not hope, months. But the most embarrassing part of his room, well he didn't find it embarrassing but he was sure that no girl would enjoy this. Posters of Japanese idols and girl bands hung upon his walls, the most embarrassing, anime girls in inappropriate clothes and positions were also put up.e
"Ah jeeze, I better clean up a little bit before my maid arrives... Don't need her thinking she's paired up with a complete pig." Satoru groaned and ran a hand through his blue bed head hair, oh how he desperately needed a shower too. And with a huff, a sigh, and another groan, Satoru pushed himself from his warm bed. The only love in the world that loved him back, yes, he was a little obsessed about sleeping. If he could, he'd sleep for weeks. Almost zombie like, Satoru moved around his room; picking up anything that a girl would find grotesque. To him, his room was perfectly fine.. But over the years with his aunts, he found that they had quite the different views on what's clean and what isn't. It took no more than a few seconds to put all the garbage away, and to send the rotting food off to the garbage shoot. That was the easy part of the clean up, now he had to store away his beautiful posters. "I'm so sorry Aoi Takamura... If I could, I'd keep you up, but I have a girl coming to live with me.. So you must understand." Satoru whispered, grieving the fact that he had to take this poster down. It was of his favourite idol, and she was cute! The poster had been up ever since Satoru had entered the school, how he was going to miss this poster.. But it was all for the better good.
Now that his room was no longer considered toxic, Satoru could finally work on his personal grooming. Usually he didn't shower all that much, there was no point in looking good when you went to a school filled with XY chromosomes. But now the fact that girls would be inter-graded with the rest of the male student body, and certain male bodies as well... Then Satoru had to wash up, he was going to blend in with a crowd of guys. Might as well try to stick out by being clean, and attempt to look his best. And with those final thoughts, he jumped into the shower he had not used in a long while.. It was like a reunion almost, and if the shower could talk, it would probably say that it missed Satoru. It didn't take long for the young boy to become clean, he had short hair that was washed in only a few seconds. But he stayed in the shower just a bit longer, because of the loving feeling of the warm water, plus he wasn't all that ready to face whoever his maid would be. Now that he thought about it... The boy became frightened at the very fact that he would be sharing a room with a lady.. Something he had never had experience with before, it was all new to him. What would he say? What would he make her do? Will she accept him? Would they get along? He could only imagine the geeky things he would accidentally say to her, like she would understand a word of it.
But now it was time to get out of the shower and to stop sulking! The girl was coming no matter how long he stayed in the shower, and it was just better to get it over and done with. It's his final year, he should consider the girls to be a blessing! This is just one final big bad boss he had to defeat, and he shall overcome his un-rational fears! With the sudden confidence he stormed out from the shower, wrapped the towel around his gamer body and began to dress! Today, he was actually going to use some hair products. The ones his aunties bought for his birthday, but he never got the chance to use.. Well, he never wanted to use them actually. He was quite unsure how to use this thing called mousse.. And took a random guess by taking a small dime sized amount and combing it through his hair.. "Well what the hell was this supposed to do? Ah useless.." Satoru groaned, noticing absolutely no difference in his hair. But perhaps the girl would, they always noticed things that men didn't. With that, it was time to put his school uniform on, he really hated it. It made him feel all prissy and fancy, something that made him terribly uncomfortable.
He was still unsure who is maid to be was, he remembered he name; Edith Caraway. But had never seen her face, hopefully he would be able to find her easily in the lobby. He didn't want to look like a fool and search for her if she was in front of his face the whole time. He thought of things to say to her as he walked down the hallway; his room was on the other side of the school. Considerably far from the lobby, this gave him time to cool down his nerves. 'Hello, I'm Satoru Kurogane.. You must be Edith? My maid?' Satoru shook his head at that one, it sounded too formal, unlike him. 'Morning! I'm Satoru, are you Edith?' that one was alright, but it had no zing or specialness to it. The girl would probably think Satoru was a bore by that introduction. Well the boy would soon decide what to say to her when he finally saw her, hopefully he didn't mess up. This would be the first time he talked to girl in a while, well a girl that was his age at least. The more steps he took, the closer he came to the lobby, and the closer it felt like he was going to have a heart attack. Once he stepped foot into the lobby, there was no turning back. He couldn't just say that he didn't go, that would be cowardly.
In the lobby there were already a few people gathered, not as many as Satoru previously thought. A pink haired girl who was already in her maid costume sat with another boy, a silver haired joker. His name was Karoku Abel, Satoru only knew his name and his antics though; they weren't personal buddies. The two must have been paired up, he wondered how well that would be... Would the girl put up with Karoku's constant jokes? Ah well, she looked like a nice girl. He was lucky. A sudden crowd soon emerged into the lobby as if there were some sort of fire, girls and boys collided in a mix that had never existed before. Boys going crazy picking out the girls of their dreams, the girls on the other hand just being happy to pick. Now the name of Satoru's maid escaped his mind, so he would just have to pick some poor girl at random. Oh how he felt bad for the girl he would choose, it wasn't his fault. He managed to get through the mad crazy crowd to a spot where it was more calm, and less insane. In this bare spot was another girl stood, she looked lonely, or worried. The bell boy came around to comfort her, but it didn't look like it did any good. But when Satoru's eyes laid on the outfit she was wearing, he felt as if he wouldn't need his posters for a very long time... What a perverted thought! He's usually not the perverted boy.. With a strike of confidence and a huff, Satoru brushed some stray hairs from his face and walked up to her, now debating on what he should say.
"You look extremely uncomfortable in that outfit... Want to just get this over with? I'll choose you if it will take you out of your misery.." The boy said with out a second thought.. Then after a few seconds of silence between them, he mentally hit himself in the head for what he had said! Now she probably thinks that he's just picking her just because, oh how he hoped he hadn't hurt any feelings. What an idiot. "I'm Satoru Kurogane by the way.."

xxxxxxx⊱You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.⊰
The night had quickly disappeared and soon the sun rose above the horizon, waking up a boy who did not want to move from his bed. It felt like Satoru only went to bed a couple of minutes ago, he did not feel well rested at all. If you were to say that he felt like crap, you would be right on the button. With a groan and a flick of his legs, Satoru twitched and battled against the fact that he needed to get up. Today, was a very special, but terrifying day. He had not even prepared his own room for the arrival of his new 'maid'. The room was completely littered in homework and scrap paper, paper balls laid near the garbage can and absolutely everywhere. There was still food in its plate or bowl that has probably been there for weeks, or let's not hope, months. But the most embarrassing part of his room, well he didn't find it embarrassing but he was sure that no girl would enjoy this. Posters of Japanese idols and girl bands hung upon his walls, the most embarrassing, anime girls in inappropriate clothes and positions were also put up.e
"Ah jeeze, I better clean up a little bit before my maid arrives... Don't need her thinking she's paired up with a complete pig." Satoru groaned and ran a hand through his blue bed head hair, oh how he desperately needed a shower too. And with a huff, a sigh, and another groan, Satoru pushed himself from his warm bed. The only love in the world that loved him back, yes, he was a little obsessed about sleeping. If he could, he'd sleep for weeks. Almost zombie like, Satoru moved around his room; picking up anything that a girl would find grotesque. To him, his room was perfectly fine.. But over the years with his aunts, he found that they had quite the different views on what's clean and what isn't. It took no more than a few seconds to put all the garbage away, and to send the rotting food off to the garbage shoot. That was the easy part of the clean up, now he had to store away his beautiful posters. "I'm so sorry Aoi Takamura... If I could, I'd keep you up, but I have a girl coming to live with me..

- ➽ Hye Su Pyo
➽ 16
➽ The Peacemaker
➽ She of course, is the most peaceful one out of the group. Though, not by much if you know who she hangs out with. Hye Su is part of the Ice Princess gang; so you probably know her name. Oddly, she's the one who tries to stop most fights that go on in the school. Expect when it's a fight that involves her or her friends, slightly ironic huh? The reason for this is that she had some family and relationship issues quite a few years back. Her parents never stopped fighting, never. They're still fighting, refusing to get a divorce because of what society might think. And then there was her boyfriend, well her ex boyfriend. They 'loved' each other, but they loved to fight even more. He was controlling, and Hye Su couldn't take it any more. There's someone in the school that reminds her of him, and she can't stand his face. Every time they pass, Hye Su will make some sort of comment and that would lead to a verbal fight. Oh it never stops. But usually the girl is quite nice to everyone surprisingly, expect for a certain group of boys.

"DON’T WORRY ….. BE HAPPY"
Kind, easy-going, devoted, sharp tongued
Hey! I'm Hye Su Pyo, nice to meet you!
But I prefer if we keep it short like Hye-Su.
Yeah, I'm noticed as the Peacemaker around here.
For your information, I'm a female.
As far as I know, I'm sixteen years
young and single.
What? You want to date me? I'm heterosexual
just so you know.
Which means I go for the guys.
☇Hye Su's grades are not the best, far from. The girl's not all that smart, sadly.
☇ She is very friendly to almost anyone, which is quite surprising. Though she can bring out that bitchy side of her's.
☇ Hye Su has a younger sister who also attends the school, Ha-Neul, you may know her. She will always protect her younger sister.
☇ The girl has a fear of spiders, and dogs. Do not let either one get close to her! Hye Su will cry.
☇ Hye Su is the peace keeper of the group, but always loves to get in a scrap or two. Especially when she wins, which is practically most of the time.

Underneath two giant pink blankets, Hye-Su was hiding. Her body folded up like an origami swan! The girl was practically buried under there, and it looked like she wasn't going to come up. Like any other student, the girl valued her sleep. If she could, Hye-Su would sleep for a week! Especially now that her teachers are coming down hard, the girl's grades are slipping once again... But the annoying ringing of her alarm clock brought her out from her precious sleep, the sleep that she oh so needed. The previous night she tried her hardest to stay up and studied. The girl stayed up, but hardly got any studying done! It got so bad, that she had to have her younger sister, Ha-Neul to explain math stuff to her.. Oh how her younger sister is so smart, it's almost embarrassing. Suddenly, a pale arm shot out beneath the blankets... Well it's obviously Hye-Su's arm you silly. The girl tried her hardest to turn it off with out having to get completely out of the blankets.. But low and behold, it was impossible, she couldn't reach. Now in a huff, Hye-Su threw off the two blankets, her hair in all sorts of directions.
"Morning... Already? Ahhhh, not fair." Hye-Su groaned and moaned, a pout soon crawling its way onto her light pink lips. Even though the alarm was annoying as hell, with its beep beep beep and what not. The girl didn't want to move, even sitting up she was way too comfortable. She slowly inched her way off the bed, totally too grumpy to deal with anything. "I'm coming I'm coming you stupid alarm clock" Hye-Su cursed at it as she finally brought her hand down on the snooze button. It was already 6:30 in the morning, and by this time Hye-Su would have been walking out of her shower. And now, she was debating if she should even bother or go back to bed. Both were appealing options, bed was so nice but the shower made her clean. Ehh, the choice was obvious. How could you intimidate and scare boys with a greasy head of hair? Plus, the day always felt better when you were clean. So, the choice was made.. But would Hye-Su execute it? ... Right now, that looked very doubtful, she resembled a darn zombie.
"Un-ni!" A loud distant called, it was Hye-Su's younger sister who always affectionately called her 'un-ni' since she was younger. "Are you up yet un-ni?!" Ha-Neul asked, her voice sounding as it was coming closer to her bedroom. "Ah yes Ha-Neul-nee. I'm up." Hye-Su replied groggily as she put her feet the cold wooden floor. It sent shivers up her spine, not the best feeling to wake up to. "Ah oki Hye-su, I was just making sure. You never do wake up on time," her sister said with a giggle as she stepped into the room. Even though Ha-Neul was two years younger that Hye-Su, she was definitely taller than her older sister. She was more pretty and smart, oh how God was cruel.. "What a nice but annoying gesture," Hye-Su said sarcastically with one of her original smiles and finger wag as she walked past Ha-Neul. And just like a zombie, Hye-Su made her way down the hall and into the bathroom. Their house wasn't as big as her other friend's, it didn't have much rooms.. And unlike Hea Jung, they didn't have maids. But, at least they weren't poor urchins on the street, that made everything worth living.
Coming out of the shower was a fully refreshed Hye-Su, wrapped in a small pink towel and in light pink slippers. Now it was about 7 or so, and this was considered somewhat late to be getting ready if you wanted to be at school on time. As she walked back to her room, now back from the un-dead, she began to dress. It wasn't hard to choose what to wear, especially when Hye-Su looked cute in absolutely everything. Even in a paper bag, she'd be the cutest paper bag princess there ever was. With a few snaps and some pulling up of her leggings, she was finally clothed. It never took Hye-Su long to get dressed, mostly because she did it so quickly. But you could always count on her getting ready in 5 minutes. Though... Getting her hair done was a whole different story. First she had to apply many products to get it that right volume and shine, she applied it well enough that it didn't make her hair all crunchy and what not. Then, was the drying process... Which was the worst part of all, she hated just standing there and running the brush and hair dyer through her hair. It was so agonizing. Then, there was a tough decision to be made after drying the hair... To keep it straight? Or to curl it? Hye-Su always wore it curly, she almost wore it out she curled her hair so much. So today, perhaps a change was in the wind? With a big smile, Hye-Su took the hair straightener into her tiny palms and began to do her magic. Perhaps this sudden change would bring some good luck?
Cause I don't care e e e e e. I don't care e e e e e. Boy I don't care That was the ring tone Hye-Su had selected for Hea Jung's texts and calls, matches no? With a flip and a click, Hye-Su opened her phone to check the text. It was just Hea Jung asking what the group should do today. Quickly, almost as fast as lightning Hye-Su's fingers began to text back.
' Morningggg! How are you Hea Jung? C:
I think.. Today, we should try to antagonize those new boys... Just tease them the slightest bit to annoy them. That would be quite fun.
- Hye-Su <3
And with that last text she really needed to leave the house now, or else she'd be late. With out another second thought, Hye-Su grabbed her school bags and rushed out of the house. Today she wouldn't be driven to school sadly, her father had already left for work... So this meant she would have to run a good distance. How painful this was, Hye-Su never usually worked out. She was already really skinny and was just focusing on eating right.. Well that actually never worked out, as Hye-Su today still eats junk food. With her back pack flying behind her, and her hair flying in the wind. Hye-Su ran as fast as she could, being late was not an option for her. Her teachers would go ballistic... But if she had excellent grades... Then they would have just passed her off like the other late students, but because her grades are God awful. She gets in trouble all the time for being late, and it was unfair! Though she could see the school in the distant, and all thoughts about her teachers vanished as she quickened her step.
Now that she had entered the school's gates, Hye-Su took in a deep breath and extended her chest into the air. When she walked around here she had to walk with presence and authority. She was a part of the Ice Princess group after all, even if she wasn't the leader. Which her good friend Hea Jung was in the position. The girl still had to walk with some dignity. No boy would have fear struck into his heart if he saw Hye-Su walking around with a slouch, they would just laugh. Even though Hye-Su is more commonly known as the peacemaker of the group, she still liked to get involved. Quickly she brushed her uncommon straight hair and brushed down her clothes, she made her way into the school. The bell must had already rung, but she desperately hoped that it didn't. She wanted to find her friends first before heading off to class.
