Diving deeper : :Ara is a confident yet caring person.She doesn't always remember to think before she acts and her big mouth usually gets her into bad situations.However , Ara is very optimistic and rarely admits that she is scared of something.Usually her fears have a way of finding her , anyway.Because of her rough childhood , Ara refuses to let people know what she is truly thinking and she refuses to cry in front of anyone.

Taking a closer look : ((This rp sample is taken off a roleplay from another site that I use Ara on.Hoggwarped.To make sense of this post ; Alfie found Ara in the forbidden forest , they argued ,He hit her , she ran off.She is currently at the black lake.Marino is Ara's boyfriend on that site played by my friend.))

The girl usually liked being alone , so what was wrong with Her now?The silence was painful , the black sky felt like it was closing in on Her.She wanted to run - to find anyone or anything before She fell apart.At the same time , She wanted to stay in the dark , as if afraid to move.
The cool rain fell heavier , matching Her mood.Why did this have to happen?

And there it was.The familiar sound that broke the silence . The approaching footsteps that numbed the pain.She didn't move - Ara already knew who it was.
"I love you"He whispered softly.
And oh How She loved Him.Yet right now no words could escape Her mouth to say of it.If She did , She would easily fall apart.His soft lips caress Her neck , yet She looks straight ahead silently , trying to hide the pain She feels inside.

Ara knew that She couldn't do this.That brave face She attempts to put on can't last forever.Marino could probably see through it , and it would hurt Him.Her father once hit Her for crying , He said it was showing weakness.That was the clearest memory She had of Him from Her childhood.It was that day that Ara decided that she could never cry in front of anyone again.From that day , Ara also developed a wall around her - no one would ever know how she really felt or what she was thinking .That wall was probably the only thing that kept her alive all these years.

And it worked prefectly well.That was until She met Marino.He could see through that shield and truly understood her.He CARED . Something that Ara had never truly experienced.Each smile from him made the wall crumble some more around her.
A bruise mark was now forming on Her cheek from before..

But Ara knew that She could cry in front of Marino.He loved Her and She loved Him.The only person She could ever turn to.She depended on Him , in a way.With each other , both could easily forget Their problems..The girl turned and held tightly to Him , salty tears falling swiftly down Her face . If only they could stay like this forever under the autumn moon.
