Name: Tabitha Jane Esque
Nickname: Tabi
Age: 15
Birthday: June 9th
Sign: Gemini
Gemstone: Pearl
Blood Type: O-
Fav. Food: Sushi, or just about any seafood except caviar. Too rich for her tastes...and how can you eat fish eggs?! Those could've been delicious fish later on in life! She also likes a good juicy cheeseburger with all the fixin's.
Hated Food: Artichokes look funny. But the worst thing? That 'fancy schmancy' gourmet cheese that's all old and gross and moldy. It's disgusting!
School: Meadowview High School
Hobbies:
Cake Decorating - One of a few 'Try anything once!' experiments that it turned out Tabitha enjoyed quite a bit! Her favorite medium is sugar, mostly because of how you can create something gorgeous from little teeny weeny bits. And it's so much fun to mold! The baking itself isn't exactly her deal; Tabitha prefers to be the take a blank piece of cake and mold it into something amazing. Her skills as a cake decorator are, of course, amateur at best but...she's a kid. What do you expect? The point is it's an artistic outlet and she enjoys doing it no matter the result.
Marine Biology - Something that has always interested Tabitha since childhood is marine life. Anything in the water. She herself loves to swim and see if she can find anything be it a fish, a rock, or even just a little hermit crab. Anything and everything interests her about life under the water. Her preference is ocean life since it's most abundant and diverse than whatever's in a lake. Her favorite creature is the jellyfish...it eats, digests food, reproduces with no visible organs or bones?! How?! She must know! True, she eats seafood, food made from the very things she studies, but she doesn't see it as a bad thing. Fish die, fish are a good source of protein, it's all a big food chain. There are plenty of fish in the sea, and it helps that they're delicious. Tabitha also likes to joke that if you are what you eat them she must be a fish herself!
Virtues:
Encouraging - Tabi hates to see someone down or with a frown on their face. And low self-confidence is also a big no-no to her. Even if it is just something as simple as a big, goofy grin or just a hug she will do her best to be as encouraging as possible. Everything's going to be alright! You can do it! Things may look grim now but if you're patient it will get better, things always get better, and these hard times are merely a test! Not to say she's some kind of bible-toting, verse quoting religious nut but she could probably come off that way with some of the things she says. She likes to raise people's spirits and try to make them feel better, and believes that if everyone was just a little more encouraging to one another maybe there wouldn't be so many freakin' problems in the world. This positive thinking comes as an influence from her parents; while Tabitha herself isn't very religious, and in fact probably hasn't even cracked open the bible her parents have given her to study and read, she has been influenced by that mentality. Everyone deserves forgiveness, right? No one is perfect, but they could be the best that they could be! She'll deny to high heaven (Ha. Ironic!) that she is by no means a girl of the cloth, so to speak. It isn't something she will willingly admit but...she doesn't quite believe in some kind of higher power watching over them. People have control over their own lives and destinies, but that doesn't mean that she won't try and give them a gentle nudge for the better.
Energetic - Whether it's bouncing in place or just being really damn cheerful, Tabi is a very energetic girl. She likes to play games, make jokes, make people laugh and really she just wants to have a good time. Wherever the action is? Tabi wants to be there and will do anything she possibly can to get there and join in.
Eager to try anything once - She'll try anything once, and if she likes it she'll try it twice, and then if she really likes it she'll come back a third, fourth, fifth time or more. A party? Heck yeah! Tabi is there! A sport or activity of some kind? Sure, she'll try it! You want her to eat something strange? Sure, as long as it isn't artichokes or that disgusting cheese. She's had those once. Never. Again. But she'll never say no (Unless it's something she honestly knows she cannot do either in good conscience, because it's just wrong or she knows it's beyond her capabilities) the first time. She's big on first impressions; how something turns out the first time is how she thinks it will play out the next...most of the time. Perhaps with some serious convincing she'll try something again that she didn't really like or enjoy.
Optimistic - Everything has a silver lining. Tabitha likes to see hard times for how they will be, not how they currently are. Life is difficult! Everyone knows that! No one said it would be easy, and s**t happens. But there just has to be something good that makes everything worthwhile. Someone died? Well, now they can be forever watching over and protecting you, and they'll be waiting for you wherever they are to welcome you with open arms and hold you for eternity. You failed a test? That's okay! So did she! Guess you get to hang out together and study! Haha! Even in the most troubled times she will do her best to keep a smile on her face, try being the key word. If it has to be forced then so be it. But Tabitha won't just stand aside and let people not realize the good things in a situation no matter how small and insignificant they may be.
Flaws:
Bad jokes - While normally those of the Gemini are considered...'clever' and 'witty'...Tabi really isn't. Not for lack of trying? She likes to crack jokes whenever one comes to mind, and unfortunately she doesn't usually think them through before or while she's telling them; they kind of just happen. Albeit they may sometimes happen at less than appropriate times. So she's not really the person you go to when you want a good joke or a good pun. Not to say she doesn't have the occasional (and very rare) gem, but nine times out of ten? You're likely to hear something incredibly lame, stupid or just not funny. To make herself feel better she does almost always laugh at her own jokes (Or perhaps just her own stupidity?) even if no one else is laughing with her, pretending what she just said was comedy freakin' gold. She tries though, she tries really hard! It may be that effort that she puts in that makes her amusing, be it she's being laughed with or laughed at...if she figures out which kind of laughter it is she doesn't let on to it. Insecurity and the desire to be trusted and for everyone to be happy keeps her from doing that.
Impulsive/Reckless - Perhaps her eagerness to do just about anything presented to her might not always be a good thing. Tabitha has the nasty habit of not looking before she leaps, wanting to just put her all into something without even taking into consideration the consequences of her actions until after. This is not limited to simple things such as simply buying something she doesn't need; it applies to almost every aspect of her life. She will quite literally dive headfirst into the water, so to speak, without making sure she's on the deep end and not the shallows. To make things worse when she's like this she tends to get a wee bit cocky and very confident if she doesn't take the time to go "Oh man what I'm doing is very dangerous! And stupid!" She's even more reckless and impulsive if she isn't in the right state of mind; anger, a feeling of betrayal, sadness, just feeling incredibly hurt, all of those things are a very dangerous way for her to be feeling. She is ruled by her emotions both good and bad!
Blunt - It's been mentioned Tabi doesn't really think much. She thinks, just not about her actions. Or her words...she should work on that, huh? If something pops to Tabi's head she will most likely say it; eight times out of ten there's a very good chance that if she sees, hears, or learns something she will just blurt out the first thing that comes to mind. It will be unedited, uncensored and usually shameless. Sometimes she will think she was merely thinking it in her head and won't actually realize she said it out loud until it's too late at which time she will...either apologize profusely or blush, laugh it off and call herself stupid saying everyone should just ignore what she just said or add on a "at least that's what I heard, anyway! Haha!" But she knows how she is, she's learned to deal and try not to be embarrassed about herself...as much. Her blunt tendencies aren't always nice, sometimes she can give a stinging remark that she'll claim is unintentional. In truth sometimes it really isn't an accident.
Chatty - Tabitha Jane Miller likes to talk. She likes to talk a lot. Sometimes about nothing, sometimes about something; sometimes to purposely annoy someone, sometimes she just feels the need to talk and fill the space with sound and whoa did you hear that it sounded like a person just came in do you think they're supposed to be here crap what if it's the enemy oh wait we shouldn't be saying things like that in case the wrong person hears but I don't know I mean shouldn't that door have been locked this building is supposed to be offlimits right now then again we're here so--
...She's got some lungs on her. It's hard to tell if she behaves this way to make people think she's an airheaded ditz or if she really just is one. Really hard to tell. It isn't that she doesn't know when to shut up, she truly does, it's more she's very sociable, she loves to have conversations and she's very excitable.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Eyes: Green (#41C200). Nothing special about their shape, just that they always look cheerful?
Hair: Mostly pale blonde (#FAEEAC) with a purple (#BF3EFF) underlayer. Like in this image. It's only noticeable from the front and if it's up, really. Just about shoulder length, doesn't go past the tops of her shoulders much if at all. Her hair is straight, though certainly doesn't look flat or lifeless, and she likes to keep her bangs long in the event that she feels like playing with them or on the off chance that she feels her hair needs more color just stick it in her bangs. Accessories? She don't need no stinkin' accessories. Maybe. Didn't think of any.
Face: Heart-shaped, very minimal makeup. She likes eyeliner and mascara and a bit of shiny lip gloss. But that's it.
