Story:

It has been five years since Paige Chattan has last seen her beloved older brother Cedric. She current lives on her own, renting a small studio apartment in the city of Poitiers, France. Although it is often difficult to make ends meet, Paige is able to survive on a modest income earned from performing in a local theatre as part of a modern dance troupe. One day, she is shocked and delighted to receive a letter from her long lost sibling. He tells her he has found a secure job as a musician (he briefly mentions a restaurant job on the side) in a city called Portland, Oregon in the United States (XD i'm cute). If she would be willing to pack up her life and see him again, she can use the enclosed plane ticket to fly out and join him. With nothing but an estranged family and unsuccessful career keeping her in France, Paige makes the decision to be re united with her brother.

La Mademoiselle


User Image Name: Tabitha “Paige” Chattan LePage

Age: 19

Nationality: British/French.

Physical Description: Red hair, round tawney eyes set on a pixie like face. Height 5’4’’ very slender and petite build, muscular but not bulky, typical for a dancer. Very feminine and girlish, she loves girly things and her colorful wardrobe consists mostly of various articles from thrift stores and dance clothes. She seems to have a particular penchant for scarves.

Personality: Outwardly, innocent young Page posesses a sort of happy go lucky, almost dumb, cheerfulness. She is not by any means a shining intellectual, but seems to prefer masking what intellect she has behind a veil of submissiveness and naivety. Although not particularly prone to angst, in some of her more serious moments she may reveal more depth to her personality than she usually puts forth. Her greatest concerns are solitude and loneliness and in general she will put up few demands in exchange for companion ship of some form or another.
She is very active, naturally nimble and graceful when she dances although prone to clumsiness from simply not paying attention the rest of the time.

Likes: Dance, Music, CHOCOLATE, Vintage sun dresses, Lilies, Cats and other furry animals, Snow, New ballet shoes.

Dislikes: Snakes, Needles, Paying Rent, Horror Films

Back Story: Paige was the accidental result of a short lived affair between her Scottish mother and her French father, a wealthy executive who frequently did business in the UK. Soon after her birth, She was adopted and raised by her father’s family which consisted of His wife and their three children. Resentment of the affair from her stepmother created a distance between Paige, her step mother and Paige’s two half sisters. Her father, although affectionate was for the most part preoccupied with his career.
Her closest bond is with her eldest half-sibling, a brother named Cedric who is ten years older than Paige. Cedric had been very close to a fourth sibling, an older sister who died before Paige’s birth. Paige and Cedric formed a particularly tight bond, through which Paige was spared most of the suffering that would arise from her dysfunctional family life. She was completely devoted/emotionally dependant on her Brother.

Refusing to have any pride in his family’s wealth, the good-natured but still rebellious adolescent Cedric fell in with a group of alternative modern bohemian youths. Both siblings took up an interest in the performing arts and Paige began her education and
training as a dancer. Cedric was an aspiring actor and musician.

Following a happy and uneventful childhood, the foundations of Paige’s world were blown apart when Cedric, in defiance of his father, abruptly left the country in persuit of an acting/musical career. The then 14 year old Paige was devastated by her Brother’s departure and managed to remain at home with his family for only two more years when she dropped out of school and began to support herself with a dancing career. Many of her brother’s friends still encouraged her presence amoungst their group, although they could provide little support financially. At best, they could only promote her talents to small theatres and performing arts companies.

While she has little time between making ends meet, Page remains ever hopeful that she will be reunited with Cedric.

La Gazelle

What? Thomson's Gazelle

User Image

(Gazella thomsoni)
also called: Mongalla gazelle, Tommie's

Thomson's gazelles live in Africa in savanna and grassland habitats, particularly the Serengeti region of Kenya and Tanzania. They eat low vegetation and grass. Most of the water they need comes from what they eat. A noticeable behaviour of Thomson's gazelles is their bounding leap, known as stotting or pronking, used to startle predators and display strength or simply as a forum of play. They often congregate with other hoofed mammals, or ungulates, such as wildebeest and zebra and usually live and migrate in herds with hundreds or thousands of other Thomson's gazelles. Thomson's gazelle is relatively silent, and has well-developed senses of sight and smell. It is preyed on by most of the large carnivores.

Why?
Paige has been one of my main OC’s for a couple of years, and for the most part I guessed her animal would always be something along the lines of cat. However page has always had a sort of submissive nature and tends to easily preyed upon or taken advantage of. So why not make her an animal of prey instead? A petit build and natural abilities as a dancer, which have always been and important part of her character reminded me of dainty, nimble animal like a deer or antelope. By sheer coincidence, I discovered on a naming website that Page’s given name Tabitha originated from the word for gazelle.

Q&A, C&C, etc...

I'll so my best to answer critiques and questions here. So ask away ^^
Look, i'll get you started XD:



Q: She's French so..will Paige speak english on the Island? How are you going to role play a Foreigner. How are you going to make this work?

A: I have been learning french for a number of years now, and even recently spent a year living abroad in France. Using what I know of France and French culture, i'm going to try and make Paige as authentic a character as possible. Like all students, Paige started learning english in school, however she never completed her formal education so realistically, her english is probably very poor. I plan on Language playing an important role in her developement as a character, treating her visit to the island like a very ******** up and scary foreign exchange.


Q: Her first name is Tabitha. Where does Paige come from? Paige does pass as a first name, so you might not even need to include Tabitha. >.>

A: Well, since i've used the character for other stuff...mmm Tabitha has always been her given name and the name by which her brother calls her. (he frequently uses the nickname Tabby) Everyone else calls her Paige. It's a modified version of her last name LePage. She doesn't enjoy being called Tabitha, because it was given to her by her real mother, and she doesn't care for any reminder that she's not legitimate part of the family. She only tolerates it from Cedric because she tolerates everything Cedric does. I don't NEED to include Tabitha as her original name, consider it a bonus!


Q: I'm kind of wondering "Why Paige?" Not why they wouldn't want her...XD Buuuut how would Feral find out about her brother? Feral Labs is pretty powerful, but they aren't omniscient. If they have her brother, they're more likely to take him than ship her all the way from France. Maybe on a trip to America to find her brother, she walks into a Feral Labs center and they fake finding him or something...?

A: I suppose their father, being a big important business man or something (lulz) could have some financial ties to Feral Labs. He could always screw somebody over on a business deal. But Feral labs doesn't have her brother, i'm sure he's in somewhere in America working on a career as a musician. Feral Labs probably wouldn't have tabs on his particular whereabouts, but they may at least be aware of a falling out between Mr. Chattan and two of his children, one of whom is currently going no where in life apart from wondering how she can see her brother again.

You can probably tell i dont have all the minute details worked out, but they're slightly irrelevant since Paige herself would have little knowledge of her father's affairs anyway.

I am absolutlly in love with this quest.

The only things I notice are a bit on her recent backstory. Where exactly did she live? Where is she living now? What's the name of the place she works at, that kind of thing.

Also, is she a background dancer, or a star? Just a little bit there. Her personality is pretty sparce, but I think that's fine since you seem to know the character really well.

Why is she chosen for the island? I would think a dancer would be noticed if she went missing, so does she have a habbit of being flakey? Also, does she have roomates, boyfriends, that kind of thing?

Other then those nit picky things this quest is joygasmic <3
