Apparence: Steph stands at 5'6", with a relatively normal and unremarkable build, average in most aspects, and a sightly round face. What usually makes her stand out are her long hairs, originally blonde but dyed in light pink with purple bangs there and there, that she usually brings back up and pins to the back of her head. Her eyes are a bright, vibrant shade of green. Her clothes are what makes her stand out the most, expecially in bars and the like - her favorite outfit are a bright yellow tanktop with a black broken heart decal in the upper middle, along with black pants, that have rainbow trims to the sides and the multicolored decal of a star on the right leg, with straps that, while white, actually glows in the dark. The pants are baggy, and her thong usually shows. Her favorite shoes are very used up sneakers that she wear all the time, no matter how warm or cold. She has a scar on her left leg, a leftover from a fall on some barbed wire when she was 6, but otherwise does not seem to have any other distinct traits. She tends to wear a lot of jewelry, expecially power beads on each wrist, one on her ankle, and averaging two necklaces at the same time, usually a pair of fake dogtags, along with a round saphhire on another chain.

Personality: To call Steph a party girl would be putting it lightly. She lives for the nightlife, the rave lights, and mostly the music. She tends not to take most things seriously at all, usually joking around, well, aside her own carrier in the music buisness. She's convinced that if she keeps working hard and believes in herself, she'll eventually break to a worldwide status. It takes provocation to draw any anger out of her - overall she's laid back, happy-go-lucky, and almost annoyingly detached from anything that annoys her, as if it would make it all dissapair. She is actually extremely loyal to whatever partner she would happen to have at the moment, as well as her friends, always. She can be surpisingly calm and understanding if the situation expressingly calls for it, but otherwise... She has the bad habit to say anything that goes thought her head.

History: Stephanie Leclerc was born very suddently on Quebec's national day, June 24, while it was still a few weeks before she was due to term. To this day, it is a running joke in the family that she simpely wanted to see the fireworks and join in the fun. First child of two, her childhood was pretty normal for a girl born in Montreal : she grew up, she went to school, she had her little accidents, including a bad encounter with a tree branch and barbed whire while they where visiting her grandparents on their farm, that required a few stitches. Not much is left from this event, asside a very bad memory. Stephanie was never meant to be an only child - her mother wanted another, expecially a boy, but lost two after her. The last attempt was the right one, and her little brother, Steve, was born on april 7. The child never seemed to get jealous that most of the attention shifted from her to the baby, in fact, she seemed to enjoy it. Not too long after, her mother had a work accident that forced her to stop working alltogether, but her father always seemed to be able to bring enough money for his small family to live decently, along with what his wife got in compensation money.

Her high school seemed equally normal - making and losing friends, boyfriends, a run in with alchool and pot that made her realise how much she liked the nightlife. While she no longer smokes, she still drinks to this day. It was at this period in her life that she realised that she wanted to be a DJ. Music had always interested her, expecially techno, electronic, and trance, but it had never occured to her that she would actually want to make her own and make the crowd dance. Her parents didn't exactly approve, and tried to change her mind... but nothing would do. After graduating high school with decent grades, she started doing low end jobs while gradually moving out in the center of the metropolis, gathering all she needed to make her own music, and trying to make a name to herself, under the pseudonym of Endless.

Her first decent breaktrough came when she was 22, when a relatively big bar hired her. She mostly took requests and played existing songs, but managed to slip some of her own every now and then. The crowd seemed to appreciate, because soon she worked the crowded night hours, as well as randomly during the week, which gave her enough money to quit her dayjob and focus on her music completely. She still works there to this day, and beside having a day dedicated to her own music, not much more has happened as far as getting more famous, but Steph is sure than it won't be too long yet. She has been set back a bit on that as her father wound up needing her help.

With her father aging, the lost of a few employees, and her working mostly night hours, both Stephanie and Nicholas started working part time at her father's clinic, handeling paperwork and the general care of the animals. Stephanie did the day hours and switched with her brother once he got out of school for the night and took over the evening hours. It was hard for her, but she loved her music, and wasn't about to give her small slice of fame up : but she also loved her father dearly, knew he wouldn't be able to continue on his own without more help, and refused to let her brother drop out of school like he had wanted to do.

To the present, she had worked this train of life for two years with little to no problem. Her brother graduated high school, moved out as well, and now studies to become a web designer, both still continuing their routines of helping their father out. But fatigue is now starting to settle in, and Steph knows that she won't be able to do this forever... yet is still unwilling to come to a decision. Her father had always hoped to give the clinic to one of his children, but neither seem interested in taking over, so he is hoping to keep it as long as he can work. He is currently unaware that his daugher still works nights, as she told him she had quit a few weeks after she had started helping, and takes the bags under her eyes as the fact that she could not give up partying late, a fact he keep bringing up to her.

And, what animal ?

I have a few possibilities here, as well.

1 - Black Cat. Steph ratter likes the ironic. While most people think black cats are bad luck, she is ratter endeared with them, and handpicked her own kitten - Bad Luck - because of this. It would be a bit ironic for her to become specificly an animal she is so endeared to, as well as to see how her and Bad Luck (who will come with her at the island no matter what) would react to each other, since they would basically be the same species.

2 - Chihuahua. This is the other side of the spectrum. Steph hate most smaller dogs with a burning passion. They bark, bark, bark, bark, BARK, tend to be rabid little ankle biters, and generally made her wish it was legal to play dogsketball. This would be the ultimate slap in the face/GOD NO option. xd

3 - Snowy Owl. While she only knows them as "Harfang Des Neiges", those owls are beautiful white birds that are often spotted in Quebec during the winter months. Also a nocturnal animal, which is a bit of a pun on how the part of her life she prefers always happens at night.
