Name: October Jamison

Race: Caucasian
Nationality: Born in Houston, TX. Lives in Sacramento, CA. No accent.
Birthday: November 1st
Other phys. traits: No scars. Slightly pointed ears.
Preferred outfits: She likes gray(s), white, crème, and pale pinks. She likes lacy things. Think Forever21.
Family background: Her father was born in Houston, Texas. His last name was the generic “Smith”. She hated it, so she took on her mother’s maiden name. Her mother was also born in Houston, but she had moved to other states prior to settling down with October’s father. Her father’s name is David, and her mother’s name is Taylor.
General history: She was born in Houston, but she hated it. Everyone expected her to be the girl who would grow up, go to college, get married, and settle down with the perfect family. She broke all of their expectations when she dropped out of college in her sophomore year. She lost her parent’s support after that, and, so, she partied her way across the Southern border of the states, aiming to make it to California. It took her about seven months, but she ended up in Sacramento. She had prostituted herself and performed favors for money, drugs, and transportation. Once she made it to Sacramento, she no longer participated in prostitution. However, the drugs and alcohol were a different story. Recently, October almost accidently overdosed on cocaine. She has never touched it since. Alcohol is a different story, though. She isn’t quite ready to get rid of that, yet. Her heart skips beats every now and then from the extensive drug use, and she sometimes finds herself out of breath.
Schooling: She graduated high school with a 3.5 GPA. She moved on to college in Houston, only to drop out in her sophomore year. She planned on attending college in Sacramento before better options popped up.
Talents: Dancing, parkour, singing, fixing things
IQ: Average.
General personality: feisty, social, convincing, manipulative
Maturity: She is very mature, but she can revert easily. In other words, if she doesn’t want to be an “adult”, she won’t act like one.
Relationship status: She has never had a proper relationship. She is not a virgin, as she sold sex to get to California. However, she never dated any of the men. She has never been married. Aside from one night stands, she has no relationship experience.
Social standing: She has no friends in Sacramento, and she likes it that way. She wants a quiet life with no drama. Her apartment knows her as the girl who does her laundry on Wednesday. It’s the only time that they really see her.
Philosophy/Values: If it’s not fun, she’s not going to do it. She values independence and self-reliance. She doesn’t feel that she needs a man or a family to be complete in life.
Quirks and mannerisms: She bites the sides of her mouth when she is thinking or when she is nervous. She has a tendency to tap on any solid surfaces around her because music is almost constantly playing inside of her head. She tends to be very impulsive.
When angry: She isolates herself, and she degrades herself internally. No one would ever know it by looking at her, but she beats herself up when she gets angry because she feels like there had to be something that she could have done to prevent the situation. She wants to lay low, not cause trouble.
Misc. Views: She is not religious, but she does not shun those who believe. She doesn’t support religious stupidity. Missionaries come to her door every now and then, but they never come back because she asks them to support their evidence for their belief(s). She doesn’t believe in things until there is sufficient, reliable evidence to back it up. She hates how people are so quick to judge others. However, she is quick to judge others, herself, because she thinks that everyone is already going to do that to her.
Minor Notes: She hates too much positivity. Sarcasm is her forte. Dry wit. She likes music, but she can’t concentrate with it in the background, and it sometimes annoys her if she’s not in the right mood. She has a tendency to get attached to inanimate objects like pencils, notebooks, and books.
Fears: Fear of looking behind you.

Poses: looking behind her while nervous; leaning against the inside of a doorway; running her fingers through her hair;

General history: She was born in Sacramento, and she stayed there. She ended up marrying her high school sweetheart (Damian). Unlike her parents, Germaine was not so lucky. Her marriage lasted a year before she killed him. She was making pasta one day, and he came up behind her. He attempted to force her to make love to him, but she refused. When he insisted and began tearing her clothes off, she grabbed the nearest object and whacked him over the head with it. It happened to be a small, boiling pot full of noodles. The water disfigured his face, and the blow to his head caused internal bleeding. She drove him to the ER, crying the entire time. He was admitted, and he died two days later from pressure build up in his head. His family tried to press charges, but Germaine pleaded self-defense. She got off with forty hours of community service. The court psychologist declared her bipolar, and she was put on medication. She has since stopped taking it.
