Personality:
Weird, Eccentric, Crazy, Insane; all good words to describe her. There is a very good chance that she is bipolar and possible split-minded, too. One minute she could be hyper, childish, and bouncing off the walls. The next she would be all subdued, proud, and depressive. She also mentions ‘the voices’ and sometimes accidentally introduces herself as Jared and doesn’t act like herself at all, which is where the split mindedness comes into play.

She loves being solitary. Other females frighten her, especially the more feminine ones; she can only tolerate them for so long before totally losing it and getting aggressive. You could call her a tomboy. A very submissive, shy tomboy.

The thing she loves above all else is animals. All animals. It doesn’t matter if it is a spider or a little kitten.

Deep down, all she wants is to be loved; for someone to protect her and love her unconditionally. But this fact is one of the major reasons she is driven to insanity. She is way too shy to admit her love to someone else, and has had her hear broken many times because of this.

Appearance:
Her defining quality is her extremely slim body. At first glance one might think she was anorexic, but frankly she’d rather stab herself to death than go without food for more than a couple hours. She has a fair figure, but wouldn’t necessarily be called beautiful.

Her face, she has been told multiple times, looks very elvish because it is fairly long and sleek, lacking much body fat. Her skin is pail from lack of sun, and she has a very smooth complexion. Again, she’s not of notable beauty but she has her pleasing qualities.

She has abnormally pointed canine teeth. That, coupled with her pail skin and dark tendencies she could pass as a vampire.
Her eyes are a darkish hazel color with flecks of green and blue. Straight, dark brown hair falls to the small of her back, and her bangs are about the length of her face. Hair always covers her left eye, giving her a dark, moody look.

Because of her poorly insulated body, she either wears a lot of clothing or just enough to be modest. She always dressed plainly, not really caring about what she wears. As long as it keeps her comfortable she doesn't care. In the winter a normal outfit would be a grey or green hooded sweatshirt, a pair of loose fitting blue or black jeans, and her slightly dirty black-and-white converse. In hot weather she usually is seen in a tee shirt of some type, blue jeans (never shorts) and a pair of dirty blue sneakers.

Ring-tailed lemurs are the most easily recognizable species of lemur because of their tails. They have a grey back, with white under-parts and a white fox-like face with dark brown eye patches, sporting a nice, poofy, distinctive black and white ringed tail. And interesting fact: Ring-tailed lemurs have a reflective layer in the back of their eyes similar to that of cats. This allows them to have very good vision at night. The sense of smell is important to the lemur. The Ring-tailed lemur has a highly scented tail, which is used to warn other Ring-tailed lemurs.

These little guys are found solely on the island of Madagascar, an island off of southeast Africa. Unlike most lemurs, they prefer more open areas in the south and typically walk on the ground or on large limbs in the trees. Ring-tailed lemurs live in groups of five to thirty members. They have distinct hierarchies that are enforced frequently by little brawls within the group. In a normal group girls rule! They usually are more aggressive and dominate over the boys *evil grin* While females tend to sat in their own groups for their whole lives, tend to change groups at least once during their lifetime.

Ring-tailed lemurs are diurnal and arboreal, meaning that they prefer daytime and keep to the ground more often than the tress, unlike most other lemurs. When the sun is out you can often see them lazing around and basking in the sun. They love fruit but will eat leaves and other vegetation as well.

Ring-tailed lemurs are endangered, due to the growth of human settlements and by hunting. *cry*

{People Jessica has met off the Island}

Howie Carmichael:
Cool person, a little rough around the edges but still a good man. Met him on a back alley in the evening. He escorted me back to my place only to get mugged right when he left. Ran back to my place to get patched up and gave me a huge scare when he tried to break in thought the window. I patched him up, we spoke a while, and then he took me to this club. It was really nice, a little too busy and rough for my tastes, but it was the thought that counted. The sleazebag, Sid, showed up, made me really angry and annoyed at his cruel treatment of Howie (but I'm not saying the boy didn't deserve it). I sort of lost it, ran out of the club and he came after me, apparently to comfort and lead me home but it wasn't working out too well...

Sid Eisley:
Met him briefly twice; one when I met Howie and the next at the club thing. I have formed a very bad opinion of him, and he's likely to get stabbed if he bothers me or my friends again. Heh, he's done for.

Dai-Tao Chai:
A crippled Asian woman. Had the unfortunate duty of a charity worker for helping hands or something. She showed real concern for Howie and I, but I believe it was just because of the quota she had to reach. But deep down I think she's something like me... without the crazy part. So far I have a good opinion of her.

Gallen Alexander Marcuss:
Okay, I'll say it; hot Irish dude. Lovely green eyes, and charming smile, and a good disposition to top it all off! But I have always been a sucker for Irish men... and green-eyed men... and men with accents... heh.
