Full Name: Deanna Jean Arcio
Nicknames: Deanna, Anna, Ann
Age: Seventeen
Grade: 12th
Birthday: April 24th, 1989
Wealth Status: Average

Physical Description:
From her physique, and knowledge of competitive ice skating, and competitive dance, Deanna has had the lean figure of a so-called 'Dancers' body as some call it. But, don't think that she doesn't have the slight curves, and angles of a regular, and average American teenager. From her bone structure on the under side of her chin, to the small hour glass shape of her torso line. Her thighs, you could say they were lean, and muscular, but none of that bulky man muscle showed on her tiny body. Learning from her Dance instructor on how to work only on your inner thighs, which made Deanna's thighs look smaller than what they would probably look like if she was on the Football team.

The natural build of her upper body, toned out from the crutches and sit ups that she does on a rigorous training exercise, helps her build stay in shape. Don't call her anorexic, don't call her stick thin. She is neither of that, and if you do look at her, her body weight is just right for the intended age group. Just say, at least she's not one of those girls who has 'chicken legs'.

From her natural build, and physique body, came her soft almond shaped, green eyes. Deanna's green eyes, comes from her Mother who also had green eyes, and an ethnic background of Asian in them. Which, when it came to Ethnicity, and Race, Deanna wasn't so sure of her self is she should call her self Asian American, or just American. Showing too much of the American side on her body, the eyes are the only thing that shows part of her Asian background. The soft, and shiny blond hair that laid on her head, the characteristics of her Father for this one. With the small dark streaks of dark colored hair at the roots of her head. About the length, just past her broad shoulder line as the back of her blond hair ran down her back slightly, and layered.

Deanna, has her own unique style in every way. For school, she does not follow the latest fashions, or the latest fashionable stores to go to, the shoes, the makeup, is just all a blur to her. She tries her best to make her self look just like a normal American girl with out all that rich jewelry, designer purses and bags, hoop earrings, stiletto's, or even the caked on make up on some of the girl's faces around the school. Deanna wears limited amount of makeup, and tries to not make her self look like she's trying to hard to be some one, that she thinks shes not. Wearing a pair of either denim skin-tight, but loose jeans, either a knee length loose, ruffled skirt, and just a regular hooded jacket a long with a plain shirt. Just because she is sort of rich as in wealth, doesn't mean she has to exactly 'strut' her stuff around the campus.

There are no birth marks, or tattoos what so ever on Deanna's body.

Personality:
From the snobby rich girl, to the prep around the campus, to the populars, to the individuals, scenes, and punk rocker kids. Deanna thinks that she fits in only one category. Being her self, and not being who someone else wants you to be. Knowing from previous experiences of that, people don't like you because you wear fancy clothes, although that may be the case for some students at school, they like you for who you are. For Deanna, she has been trying to figure out who she really is. Learning freshman year that you can't just walk up to someone and ask them to be your friend when they were in a so-called group 'Clique'. She tries not to fit in too much, but she does call her self part of the 'Preps' or 'In-crowd'. Her popularity at previous schools has been out of the window as students pass by with a wave, or a smirk that played over there face.

For Laurel Canyon, she has been here for four years now, and she hasn't expected much from any of the student body roaming them selves across the campus of Laurel Canyon. Sure, Deanna knows several people here and there. But, more people appreciate her for her personality the best. The smile that never fades, the 'face full of smiles' the 'awkward grin' the 'typical white girl'. But, she isn't a typical white girl as some people may have stereotyped her to be. She is just an average teenager living a so-called 'Rich' life in the town. No, there isn't such called a snobby side to Deanna unless you do intend to cause conflict between one, or another. She'll tend to ignore it, tend to avoid some one in the Halls', and all of that. But, there would not be any fighting between her and some one else if the intended person wanted to, really bad. Deanna religious, and believes in God fully. Attending a mass service every Sunday with her Father, and sister. The called, 'Rest Day' for the whole week of school, and work every one goes to. She does believe that you should not lose your virginity until you really 'love' some one. So, she is not the type to go around Laurel Canyon and fuck every boy she sees pass her by the halls. It seems disturbing to her to see others do that, at parties and such.

Think of her as an A+ student, suck-up, teacher's pet. She wants to have fun too, she wants to party with her girl friends, and dance the night along. For some people who have not met her yet, they think that is the total opposite when they see her with a Calculus book, and her medium, yet 'fashionable' but not too expensive, tote bag that she carries over her shoulder everyday. At least every Friday, and the weekends she tends to spend time with her friends and just go to one another's houses for a 'get together' or a 'party' so to speak. Drinking, and dancing with all of the people she has known, and maybe even some who she hasn't met yet. Sure, that kicks the Religious part of her personality out of the window, but she makes up for it by praying every night before she hits the bed.

Get to know Deanna.

History:
From the little kid stage, Deanna has lived her child hood life as a well expected one. As she popped out from her Mother's womb and out into the new born Earth world. Her tiny green eyes poked out as her hands, and feet, and body developed over that gestation period of nine months inside the womb. The father, and the mother were loving parents. They would have their arguments once in a while, but families argued, they made up, they...

That wasn't the case however for Deanna's family. At the age of eight years old, her father had tried to commit suicide on him self by trying to overdose himself with sleeping pills. That didn't work out, he had been sent to a rehabilitation facility for a minimum of two years. Staying at a so-called 'Nursing Home' so that he may be kept track on by others in case he might of tried to commit suicide on him self once more. Her sister Margaret, or as some times called Margie was five years of age at the time their father had left to go to the rehabilitation facility. Joanne had taken care of her two children while the Father was away, and was coping to clean the house, do the chores, pay the bills, laundry, cooking, driving kids to school for those two years and more while Anthony was away.

Deanna did not really like her Dad any more, actually Joanne did not like her 'Husband' any more. He seemed like the perfect Father for Joanne until the both of them had gotten married together, and lived under one roof. Things would come to change drastically between the time period of Deanna's little kid stage, to her adolescent stage where the teenager years would soon come into play.

As her freshman and sophomore year at Laurel Canyon, things were going good for Deanna. She loved to go to school every day just to get out of the mess in her house and just relax with her friends by her side. The conversations, and the gossips, all lead to one secret that Deanna has not told any one yet about her Father being in the rehabilitation facility. Rumors had started to spread, and faces had started to show up. She tried to ignore every thing, but it would just keep popping up like popcorn in a microwave.

Her junior year was such a blur to her. Every thing, she just wanted to forget every thing that ever happened in the Arcio house hold. She tended to reside back into an apartment that was fit for her, given to her by her Mother's expenses before her sad, and cruel death. Why, why? did her Dad have to murder her Mom like that? She despised him fully at that point, and wished that she could turn back things in time. That all started when Anthony and Joanne had a meet together at the Nursing Home Anthony was staying at. She never knew her Father was going to grow up to be a murderer like her uncle, she thought things were just going to stay the same like it was back when Deanna was still a little child. Things were not that way, after her death. Joanne visiting the home, thought that she would just have a short afternoon conversation with her divorced husband. In this case, it wasn't just a short conversation. The two of them talked for quite a while, which became to two hours as the both of them stood out side on the grass during the moon lit night. Little did her Mother know that Anthony was leading her onto a short alley way. Without security guards or staff employee's in presence, he did. Her mother fell for it, and there she went. The police found her body and the suspect of all lead to her, now she calls Anthony. She does not call him Father any more, why would she?

Living with her Aunt, and Uncle, and younger sister Margie now. Her life has been complete, she does not have to deal with her Father any more, or any of the past. She actually regretted even thinking of the past at this point, but live life with no regrets. Now living with her Aunt Elizabeth and Uncle John, the both of them have kept Margie, and Deanna's life in tact.

Live life with no regrets, and stride to move forward.

QUOTE

"You think?" Vanessa replied back to him as they approached the diner door. Detroit opening the door up for her to let her in first, how gentlemen like of him wasn't it? Yeah, sure, I guess. Ha. Nodding her head towards him in thanks, she walked through the restaurant and glanced around to see if there were any of her Harbor friends around. School was probably already out by now by looking outside the Diner windows seeing the sun light dim. Today was a very interesting day. First, started off with the beach, then the home, Forget the home. Then here, how awkward is that, that after all they have been through today they wind up going to the Diner, to go grab some thing to eat before heading home, or what ever, some thing like that. She just needed to go on a jog to clear her mind, she would probably do that tomorrow. Looking around, waiting to be seated, all the people were happily taking on their food, and beverages as they talked amongst them selves. The Diner was occupied with family, and yet teenagers, but none of them she knew that went to Harbor. Not unless, Detroit knew some of them, then that would be awkward. Think of it, Detroit ditching her for his guys, and maybe gal friends and leaving her in the dust. But, no Detroit wouldn't do that, would he? Getting directed towards a booth, she followed the 'waitress' that was going to be serving them tonight. Saying, 'I'll be your waiter today.' you get the idea, speech. Vanessa was really getting tired of that, and she heard it way too many times, whether it be in Chinese, English, Spanish, or what ever. She could repeat it for her if she wanted to, but she didn't, in this case, she wasn't in the mood. Sitting down in the booth across from Detroit, she slid her self in as she tugged on her pony tail, eventually tearing the black tie that was holding her pony tail out, and pulling it out, and around her right wrist. Tucking her blond hair behind both ears with a gentle push of her left hand, she sighed. The waiter looked like some one that went to Harbor. But, she didn't want to worry about that now, she absolutely didn't care. She wanted to resolve things better yet between the two of them and find out what tomorrow would bring, or at least 'predict' what tomorrow will bring. The waiter dropping off the menus, Vanessa had no need to look at it, she probably already knew what she would be having tonight. Those little club sandwiches perhaps with the little toothpicks in them? They weren't that big anyways, and there were only, three small party pieces and a side of fruit. She could do that.

Ahh! What a good application! I'll change your username so it's your character's first, middle and last name, but before I do, is your character related to Marcy Beth Cohen? If not you'll have to change her last name just because it might get kind of confusing, haha. Other than that, everything looks great!

Oh my geebus ! Thank you ! I thought it wasn't that great ! =]
