Full Name: Margaret Jean Arcio
Nicknames: Margie
Age: 15
Grade: sophmore
Birthday: February 18
Wealth Status: average

Physical Description:
The little blonde cutie, at least that's how Margaret is often reffered too, is, just that, a little blonde cuttie. Though, she'd never call herself that. Her long blonde hair falls in locks around her face, framing her little features. Her blue eyes are usually surrounded by a little eyeliner, making them stand out, though it's rare to see any eyeshadow. Her little button nose is just above her rather large mouth, that is nearly always in an equally large smile.

Margaret's body is relatively tall and thin. She is not 'anerexic thin', her bones do have a little meat of them, but because of her height, she is never taken as fat. Margaret is taller than most girls, but still has to look up to see some people. Her body is always clad in bright shirts, boot cut jeans, or bright skirts. However, she is a little self-contious when it comes to the length of the skirt. She won't wear it if it's above mid thigh, and will rarely wear short shorts.

Personality:
All her life, Margaret has been a effervescent, happy-go-lucky kind of girl. Tears were always quickly replaced with laughter, pain was always soon forgotten. None of the bad had ever really mattered to her. There was always so much good to come, Margaret believed, so why sit around and focus on the bad? It was that part of her that had left her so easy to befriend. That and the fact that she would always willing go up to stragers, prepared to be friends with them.

Over the years, whenever tragedy would strike, Margaret was the one to laugh it off. It wouldn't matter what, she would just joke about the bad, and laugh away the tears. That's why, when her mother died, Margaret never let herself morn properly. She tried to ignor the pain, shoving it deeper and deeper, not aknowleging it's existant. Because of that, though on the outside Margaret has remained the same bubbly girl as she had always been, slowly she's been growing more and more depressed. But, she will never let that side show.

History:
As a younger sister, from the begining of her life, Margaret always had her sister, Deanna, to rely on. Sure, her sister was only a few years older than her, but Deanna had always been kind, and had always been the one to teach her. When her parents were argueing, while Margaret was in the time of her childhood that raised voices left her in tears, it had been Deanna that had soothed her, calmed her down.

Then it happened. Margaret's father tried to kill himself. It had really been the one thing that had really gotten to her. It was what caused her to shrug her shoulder's at the sad. She had only been five at the time, but even as a youngster she had been aware of the arguements, and her father's...well, lack of fatherly-ness. She watched as her mother took care of everything the man had left behind, and felt anger. However, Margeret had never been very good at being angry, and soon it slipped away into love for her mother. She believed Joanne was such a strong woman, and always strived to be like her. And, in that way, she stopped letting herself get too sad. Her mother always looked so strong, and she never saw her crying or anything. Margaret believed her mother didn't cry.

All through school, Margaret had made many friends. She had been one of the popular girls - though not like the one's in the movies. She had never treated people badly because they weren't as well known as her, she had never been a bitch to anyone. That was why so many people liked her. Margaret was kind and affectionate, and always fun to be around. When she got to high school, though she didn't hang out with all the same people, she did try to keep the same friends, while getting to know more people.

It was also during her freshman year that Margaret decided she wanted to become a singer. She had always loved to sing, but had never thought she was any good. But, she had found herself trying out for the talent show, and was apparently a 'great hit'. Margaret had felt as though she was on top of the world. But, we all know good feelings can't last forever. It was shortly afterward that the worst possible thing happened: her father murdered her mother.

Everything that happened after that felt like a giant blur. Margaret can't even remember the funeral. But, she had gone into such severe shock that she never morned her mother's death. The strong woman she had always loved and longed to be didn't even get a tear. Not on the outside, at least. It took a while before Margaret was finally aware of her emotions, her sorrow, her pain; but, once she was she never really changed on the outside. Just grin and bare it, had always been her moto, and she wasn't about to change it. She had loved her mother, and missed her dreadfully, but, for some reason could never make the emotions show.
