;; ✄--dream first date ;;
Bex has always had this vivid first date that goes like this...
They go to the beach and hang out there for the day, playing in the water, eating sandwiches, throwing grapes in each others' mouths. Then, Bex takes photographs of the beach with him, takes pics of him. After that, they do some relaxing, chatting and smiling. Together, they watch the sun go down, and he kisses her right then and there.
;; ✄--dream way to be asked out ;;
Bex doesn't care, actually, as long he doesn't walk up to her and say, "hey baby, let's go out!" Even if he came up to her with his head down, thumbs in his pocket, stuttering, she'd be happy. As long as somewhere cares enough about her.
;; ✄--love interest ;;
It will most likely develop, depending on the amount of males we get.
;; ✄--exes ;;
Frankly, she's never dated anyone before. Her father is far too strict; I mean, he barely even let her go on this trip!
;; ✄--sexuality ;;
Heterosexual, or straight.
[img width=510 height=62]http://txt-dynamic.static.1001…anum-salvator.regular.png[/img]
;; ✄--appearance description (not too long, not too short) ;;
To start with, Bex has long, wavy, red-orange hair. It reaches right below her shoulders with tight, bouncy curls that bob around as she walks. Yet the hair is just wavy, yet she sometimes straightens it. Bex dyes her hair every now and again, to make it auburn and blonde, but usually keeps it as shown in the first picture. Her hair is sometimes orange, like the second picture, on it's own during the hottest days of summer. Bex has vivid green eyes with darkish brown flecks in them that aim backwards. her eyes are large, with huge black pupils that take up a lot of the space of the greenness of her eye itself. This girl has pale skin with slight freckles under her eyes, on her cheeks, and across the bridge of her nose, but they're hardly visible. She has a long, lanky body with a slouched torso and long legs. Bex stands at 5'7 and weighs around 127 lbs., despite the slenderness of her body and her curves.
;; ✄--personality (take what I gave you and stretch) ;;
This is the shy, quiet girl that has sat in the shadows all her life. She is very sweet, and has an inner outgoing side, but only shows it around the people she trusts. She hates to be insulted and has quite the temper. She tends to get easily irritated and does not like being hurt or judged. Even if she is not courageous and very easily scared, she will stand up.
I know you don't see me;; Shy- Quiet- In the Shadows
For almost her entire life, Bex has just been the girl in the corner of the room staring out the window, lost in thought. She's a quiet girl who's usually too lost in thought to have actual words to speak. She's a bit shy, and when talking, usually can't help but tuck her hair behind her hair and stare down at her toes with a small smile on her face. Bex has a hard time jumping into conversations and making friends, with her anxieties. More often than not does she wait for people to talk to her first. Even though, the girl can hardly utter words. She's never been popular, really, but never cared. She loved being the anti-social loser she was. A loner.
I'm so different sometimes;; Kind, Sweet, Crazy near friends
Bex has the sure appearance of a shy girl. With her social anxieties she finds it difficult to talk to people. However, if people trip or are pushed, she'll have no hesitation helping them. She's very sweet, kind, and helpful, and using the quiet words she has, will stand up for people. Bex has a bit of a rebellious side to her, but usually hides it beneath her soft skin. In fact, she has gotten into fights at her school(s), has pranked the principal, and etc. Still, only people who really know her and/or like her will see the real, spontaneous, fun girl she can be. Everybody else sees the shy girl sitting by the window.
I get so scared all of a sudden;; High Temper, Hates to be insulted, Not courageous
Although she may seem all gumdrops and lollypops, Bex can be quite vicious. If people she knows or loves get hurt, she will try to fight back. But that's not what I'm trying to say. Bex has this temper. She hates to be insulted, hates to be irritated, hates when people bully or tease. She gets highly impatient and angry every now and again and becomes this strange, angry girl. After slight tantrums that she can't help, she often feels ashamed. Bex has never been brave, never been able to really stand up for people, but she's always wanted to.
Behind this mask am I who you like?;; Neat freak, Organized, Stylish
Bex is very clean. She always has to have everything go according to plan, have everything neat, neat, neat. This is most likely from her major OCD ("No, it's CDO! Right in alphabetical order like they should be!") and just habits of needing to clean. She is usually washing her hands and kind of hates germs. She never likes getting very dirty unless she's outdoors. Bex is always keeping everything tidy, neat, and clean, never letting things get too messy. Her room is always fashionably organized, with shelves stacked with books ever so neatly, and so on. Bex is a stylish girl that does love fashion. She loves clothes and trying on new things.
Can't you see I'm breaking free?;; Creative, Constructive, Very intelligent
Her hand never raises in class. She never speaks up in it. She doesn't get very great grades. But does that mean she's an idiot? No. Bex has a different kind of intelligence, where everything she sees or does has a thousand possibilities. Sure, academics aren't her strength, but when it comes to logic, street smarts, or directional reasoning, even critical thinking, she's got it down. Bex sees everything in a whole 'nother way. She is very creative and usually thinking outside of the box...Maybe sometimes too far...out of the box...? She is often asking questions and trying to get better answers than the knowledge she already has, but never in school. Bex usually finds other ways to solve things; instead of going home and getting a bandage, find an herb for it and wrap it with cobwebs. Such things like that...Her mind never stops reeling and she's always thinking about something.
Hey, where'd ya go?;; Distracted, Fidgety, Always has to be moving
This hyperness Bex has it caused by her ADHD. Frankly, even in class, she'll be twiddling her thumbs, humming, tapping her feet, and she'll be totally off topic. Bex has a hard time paying attention and usually dazes off, inspiring her creativity. The only thing she can really concentrate on is her photography. She is very restless and usually has to be moving. Often does Bex get this shortness of breath and these weird numb pains and suddenly, she's just gotta move. Although this, Bex is still the girl she is. People have always found her ADHD symptoms odd, as she can just never sit still. Especially with her OCD ("CDO!!") this is severe.
Now you know about Bex, but there's still a lot to learn.!
Until next time,.
;; ✄--your history and past (go as far back as you'd like) ;;
ah, the best part of the story. I know, I know...We've all been dying for this. I shall begin, now, without further ado!
Bex's father, Ronald, was born in America. He went to Italy with his family on a trip, and met the gorgeous Monique. They fell madly in love, and Ronald learned Italian just for her. He stayed in Italy with his family for several year; they loved it there. Finally, Monique got pregnant; by 2003, she had three children; Bex, Elizabeth, and Chrys. Bex loved Venice, from the water to the beauty. Everything about it made her feel tingly and happy and...joyous. Every day, she would stand on her balcony and stare with jade eyes at people going through the water town. Most of them learned her name, and would say, "Buon pomeriggio, Bex! Come unirsi a noi per un giro in barca!". It meant to come join them for a boat ride, and Bex would always reply, "Ci dispiace, ma i miei genitori sono pazzi!" and they would all laugh.
Bex knew Italian by heart, but wanted to know English. Many American people came into Italy and she wanted to be able to speak to all of them. In 2004, Ronald's family decided they wanted to move back to America. Ronald was all against it, as his lovely wife had to stay in Italy. He fought and fought for weeks with them, saying that they must stay. But soon, Bex and her family were on a boat, watching Monique's small figure fade farther and farther away.
Then, she grew up in New York; Albany, to be exact. Bex loved it there; from the culture to the people, from the lights to...everything! She quickly learned English, yet found much difficulty. The redhead attended school, but something was wrong. She couldn't make friends. Everyone she tried to talk to avoided her, or she couldn't talk whatsoever. Things were so close to changing, but Bex changed it when she randomly blurted her father was a complete and total a*s in the middle of class. It was when a girl was approaching her, and Bex thought she was going to be mean like the other girls, so she got scared and yelled it. A nervous tick, really.
When Bex turned eleven in 2008, her father got a girlfriend. Her name was Delilah; she was tall, with flowing golden hair and bright green eyes. The woman was kind and sweet and offering, and taught Bex many things about the world. When Ronald and Delilah got married a few years later, Bex was...not as happy as she thought she would be. Delilah stopped spending time with her, got a job as a fashion photographer, and flew off often. Her father was always on business trips. When he heard that his sister's husband had died while he was in France, he allowed Martha to live with him. When he returned, sure enough, Martha and her daughter, Mona, were there.
Bex kind of took charge of the household as the numbers grew. She tidied it, washed dishes, all the while being the girl she was. When she turned fourteen in 2011, high school began. She was immediately forced to the bottom of the food chain. People teased her or she was avoided. Even the rejects wouldn't bother with her. It was then that the populars payed a dude to ask her to the Freshmen Dance, and then she saw him dancing with Stephani, the popular girl. Bex was shoved in lockers, thrown out of seats, kicked in the bathroom...
She hated it. Stephani was always being a total b*stard to her. She got the entire school to turn her down and her family was always away. It was then Bex attempted suicide, when her world was completely at end. She smashed glass while she thought Delilah and Ronald were away, and pressed it against her wrists. She cut and cut and cut, letting herself hold in silent sobs and cries and screams. Finally, she was sure she hit a vein when the door flew open and she saw her world getting darker. Bex was saved, though; she did not die. Bex still has the scars decorating her wrists like a haunting memory. And trust me, she's had many more attempts of death.
She tried to hang herself, but the rope snapped and she just fell a few feet and landed on her back. She tried to shoot herself, but the bullet only grazed her, and she was taken to a hospital and lived. She tried to get arrested, but nothing seemed to work. Bex finally stopped, calmed down, and tried to live life again. It wasn't until Stephani Miller moved that Bex thought her life was better. Yet, her stupid posse still tortured Bex.
Bex finally took up photography and it seemed to calm her. She took all sorts of photos, and entered them in a contest one year. She won, actually, and got a summer resort vacation...Now, what do you think happens?

;; ✄--hometown ;;
Actually, Bex is from Venice, Italy. She speaks Italian fluently, but prefers English, of course. She moved from there when she was seven, and believes that that is what sparked her love towards photography. She would watch boats sail down the river outside her balcony, playing music with the strong scent of bread and the sound of cheery, merry people laughing. Bex would always stare at the sunsets and watch color streak across the sky. When her father wanted to move to the USA where his family had just moved, their mother wanted to stay, so he left her there. Bex always wishes she could've known her mother.
;; ✄--dream of the future ;;
Bex has always wanted to be a famous photographer. She wants to be able to travel the world and take pictures everywhere. Also, with the help of her love for fashion, she might, as well, want to become a fashion photographer, as well as just...a photographer. However, she wants her name to go down as a famous one.
;; ✄--greatest wish ;;
She wishes for woman to stop believing they look better with their make-up, wearing high heels with a fake smile plastered their faces. She wants the world to start looking at each other for who they are, not what they look like.
;; ✄--vehicle(s) ;;
Bex, actually, has a motorcycle that her father let her have, as well as a car; a Lamborghini.
