.::Jasmine::.  b a s i c i n f o r m a t i o n Hello, My name is
I Have Been on this Earth for About
I am of the
I'm staying in dorm number
I'm currently enrolled in grade number
c o l o r m e p r e t t y
How I Normally Look
Jen loves to dress in vintage. She finds that sixties mod style to really suit her small slim body type. The girl stands at five foot four and weighs roughly one hundred and ten pounds. She was never a big fan of food. Jenna's hair is dark chocolate brown, she keeps it cut in a sharp little bob. Her eyes are dark brown almost black. Her make up is always applied, even on those early mornings when she doesn't even feel like getting dressed. The girl wears winged black eyeliner, a false mole and a light dusting of powder. Her skin is pale with a slight olive tone.
Her shoes are always clean and well kept, she wears mostly heels but will sometimes wear ballet flats. Stocking or pantyhose are usually covering her thin short legs. The girl is concerned about her leg hair, and shaves at least one a day, but has been known to shave more often when she's in a bad mood. Jen has a habit for cleanliness almost as obsessive as her "Prince". She loves a bath, Love's it! Jen is always very clean and well kept, She's always dressed to impress and incredibly sharp looking. Jenna only looks like this when she's in a good state of mind though...
The girl goes though phases of deep, horribly dark depression and she she's in this phase she wears jeans and a big cotton sweater... Wellys and an ear flap hat. It's during these times that she wears no make up, and that she can barely get out of bed.
Fairytale Appearance
As Jasmine Jenna wears the expected. She wears a dark blue skirt that rests low on her hips. It's made with a light flowing fabric and embellished extravagantly. She also wears the belly shirt, Dark blue with the intricate beading and coins. For shoes she wears little white embroidered slippers. Silver bangles weigh down both of her wrists and a thin blue veil covers the bottom half of her face. She looks like a real princess, a beautiful you woman... But so skinny. She's not sexy, curvy skinny though, she's thin, sickly skinny.
y o u o u g h t t o k n o w
How I am
Normally Jen is a true socialite. She can charm her way into almost anything, not that she really tries to get into things around Ever After Academy. She's more interested in getting out of responsibility. Jenna just wants to keep herself afloat. What with her... Odd mood swings, she has to overplay the outgoing-ness when she is feeling alright. Her smile is pretty and her mannerisms cute. But she really is over acting more often then not. She smiles more then she needs to, she talks to almost everyone, The girl even tries to befriend the baddies.
But when she does fall into the hole of depression she's no fun to be around at all. Jen becomes a mess, a wreck, a little zombie. Her appearance goes straight to hell and she has trouble even putting words together into sentences. She cries very easily, almost at the drop of a hat. When depressed Jenna hardly ever leaves her room, she eats almost nothing at all and feels no reason to continue on. Because of this the school is constantly putting her on and off of a handful of different drugs.
How I came to be
Born in Bath, England, Jenna had a very nice situation going for her for those first few years. Her father was a CEO of a software developing company and spent most of his time in London. Her mother was a stay at home Mom who raised Jenna as well as she possibly could. The woman treasured her daughter more then anything. She read books with the girl, took her every where, taught her about animals and all about history. Jen Loved it when her Mother told her stories about history. The woman had gone to college to be a history major.
She was a beautiful woman, and Jessy loved her more then anything... At the age of six Jen and her mother got into a horrible car accident. The girl had been sitting in the back seat and her Mother was driving. It was the middle of the day a Sunday, and they were heading home from her dance class when... Out of no where a truck hit them on the drivers side, crushing her mother and causing Jen to have a concussion and break her left leg. Her mom didn't die right away though... And Jenna had to watch as her dear beautiful Mother died slowly in front of her... It took the ambulance twenty minutes.... Twenty minutes, To get there. By that time the woman was unconscious and Jen was hysterical. They were both rushed to the hospital, Her Mother died in the ambulance on the way there, Jenna was treated and spent about a week in the ICU. Her Father came to visit her the third day she was there, he had been in Sweden and came as soon as he heard the news. It was that memory, her mother gasping for air that just would not satisfy her lungs, and her screams that haunt Jenna in the years to come. It's her own secret hell that she has to live though every night. The kid has never been able to forget that day. Never. To make matters worse, the guy in the truck walked away without so much as a cut.
His Wife's death deeply disturbed Jen's Father as well. He was still very much in love with the woman. They had met in college when he was still a nobody, a moneyless geek. But She loved him anyway. When he started to make a name for himself and had to spend more time way it really stressed their relationship. He would try to get home at least once a week, but she missed him. They were suppose to be a family and he was never there.
It was about a month after the accident that Jen's father sold their large house in Bath and moved them to a nice sizable loft in London. Like always, he was hardly ever around... But Jenna had school, she had her pet cat, and her birds... She had her nanny. Her father gave her a pet each time he would leave for an extended amount of time. Nothing to exotic, but it was a nice gesture on his part, as if to say... "Sorry I don't love you enough to be around, here have a hamster." Unfortunately as she grew older she became more unreliably emotional. It was at the age of thirteen that she fell into her first real serious depression. That was the first time she stopped eating, stopped getting out of bed, stopped doing anything. Her father didn't even notice at first, as she lost more and more weight though it became apparent something was wrong. Jen started cutting during that time as well. She would slice up and down her thin pale arms with a fresh new box cutter. The sting of the cut made her gasp but the sight of her own red blood welling up in the lines then over spilling them that really got her going. Her father came home after a week long business trip to find his daughter's nanny panicking loudly in Russian and his daughter slumping at the kitchen table, her arms bound in bandages. The nanny told him what Jen had done to herself, how she was refusing to eat, how she was damaging her body and the man didn't know what to do. He wasn't sure how to react... If he punished her then he would be telling her that he didn't love her and he DID! But if he let this go then he might as well be saying he didn't care about her at all. He called a therapist and scheduled an appointment for Jen... It was at this appointment that he was told that Jenna could go to a special school, And they would take good care of her, solve all her mental health problems and hell, they would even pay for all of it. After thinking it over he decided that it was probably the for best that she go, go and get help and live life.
In the years that she has been here at Ever After, Jenna has been on and off of so many different anti-depressants and stimulants that she is really is just a shell of a person. Her depressions last anywhere from a few days to a couple weeks. She is so very fragile and even skinner then a toothpick. With each new drug brings a new side effect, but she's a real trooper and tries to do her best. She has proven to be a proficient dancer and a good conversationalist. People do feel drawn to her at times. If only she could feel the same for them.
s o m e o t h e r i n f o r m a t i o n
There's something else you ought to know
Jenna has been with a few guys, mostly just Andy though... She doesn't like him but when she's feeling down and he's the only one around... It's just nice sometimes. .::Royal Mango King::.[My hair is flat ironed and short, sandy blond]

Mango King, let me congratulate you on reading the rules first off. Second, you win bonus points from me for making a Jazmin character. mrgreen Kudos to you!
Just a few things that I'm wondering about her though. If she's so sickly thin, wouldn't this make her anorexic? Or does that depend on the length of her depressions? How long do they last for that matter? Few days? Months?

Well darlin’, I love her. But, I hate the profile.
Where’s the creativity? It's just flat, plain, boring. Its like you're stating the facts as if this was nonfiction, entertain us! What I want you to do work on it for a day or two, look through some art online on somewhere like flickr, and turn on some indie jams. On Urbanoutfitter.com, or whatever the name is, Google Urban Outfitters, they have some downloadable tracks on their music section, which is under the community part (you have to have iTunes), that music is amazing. Pandora also works. You could start a playlist with Kooks, Vampire Weekend, and some Arcade Fire. That or, if that music isn’t for you, it’s not for everyone, maybe listen to some music from the time era she mimics, I can’t think of anything off the top of my head, but you can find something, I’m sure. Even classical music might help, just do some stuff to inspire you and get working.
I want you to feel the character and wow me. Things need to flow, reading some poems and short stories might help you, Charles Bukowski is my favorite poet, I can’t think of any short stories you could use off the tops of my head. Just get inspired and work.
Then, I’ll accept you. Take your time on this.
I guess with other things, there’s some caps where there shouldn’t be caps. Some things are somewhat scattered, maybe organize the paragraphs better, and as I say with everyone, more details is always nice. Although, you need to have good language, because if you just add more details without any flow, than it’ll be quite bad. Also, work on the bio, it seems scattered and somewhat confusing. Tell about the incident, but more about her also.
I really do love your character though, she’s adorable.
Edit,
Oh yes, thank you for reading the rules. The last guy didn’t, and I was pissed…. So thank you, I love people who actually care enough to read the rules <3
Also, thank you for even considering, we love new people. Isa is so much better at showing her gratitude than I, but I’m so terribly happy you've shown interest!

Just in case some one sees it and wonders, I'm changing the times of Aquila's Vocal Training. That's the reason why she can go to Dinner and it not be too late.
Hee, you can't see it right now because I haven't posted her post yet...but I wanted to let everyone know before time. So there wasn't any confusion. Sorry...XP

Hey Isa, I was thinking that maybe Belissa and Martin had to take a ballroom dance class together. What do you think?

Hey Mandy (hope you don't mind me using your name), that sounds pretty good! What class period do you want to have it in?
At Mango King, the flow of your profile is much much smoother, so thanks for taking the time to change it. However, there are a few tiny things that you didn't mention...you used "live" instead of "love" when describing the father's feelings towards his wife. Under Fairytale Appearance, you still put Jazmin instead of Jasmine. You don't need to put "dark" in all caps or bold them.
You still didn't tell me how long her depressions would last...I can't even tell if this is a bipolar disorder or a single constant depression with very few happy instances because she forced them. That's something that the Academy would figure out before treating her. I also warn you that by putting her on and off all these medications, you're going to have to deal with the physical side effects of them...increased suicidal thoughts, seizures, dizziness, more sluggish to the point of randomly napping, loss of appetite and all sorts of other side effects that can happen. Of course she won't have to go through them all, but there will have to be some in order to prove that this particular medication does not work for her. I doubt I have to say it, but I'm going to so that it's out in the open, she WILL be forced to see a counselor. There is no option. When it comes to depression like this, they will want to monitor her and see how she is feeling and help her deal with her trauma.

Isa, I don't care if you use my name. As for the class period, I'm not too picky. I was, however, thinking that the up coming class period would work, but if you have other ideas I'd love to hear them.

...but the school day is already done...
Okay. Block schedule has 4 classes a day and we're already moving onto 5. Something is amiss. I have a solution and you guys tell me if you like it or not.
There is something called B Schedule. What happens there is that people would miss the first class of the day and instead go to an alternate fourth block which would end at around 4:00. This schedule was created for people who had night jobs or had some very important reason for not being able to make it to the morning 8:00 class (actually I think it was for football players but I could be/am likely wrong). This way, everyone would have four classes though the ending times varied. Ryan would get his extra class by taking 5 classes, and everyone has a chance at choosing whether you want to have an 8 AM morning class or a 9 AM morning class (which then ends at 4 PM instead of 3 PM).

All right. I added the depression stuff, changed her name, and fixed the grammatical errors. How about now?
