I don't want the world to see me,

Cooper made a noise of protest. "My name is Cooper, not Alice!" But, she reluctantly got onto the back of the motorcycle as she heard the commotion coming from inside. She bit her lower lip but did as he told and held on tight, squeezing her eyes shut tightly.

'cause I don't think that they'd understand.

.turn down the lights, turn down the bed. turn off the voices, they're in my head.

{.n i c k n a m e.}

{.a g e.}
sixteen.

{.b i r t h p l a c e.}

.lay down with me, tell me no lies. just hold me close, and don't patronize me.

{.h a i r.}
cooper's hair is longish; when it's straightened with a flat iron it reaches down to just above her waist. when it's curled, it reaches to the middle or her rib cage. when it's natural it's just past her last rib. it's colored a dark, shiny black/deep brown.

{.e y e s.}
cooper has stormy grey, pale blue eyes. they change shades depending on the lighting.

{.s k i n.}
cooper has naturally tanned skin. it's free of most blemishes, save for some scars from jobs where the victim decided to try and be a wise guy.

{.b u i l d.}
cooper's build is rather athletic, similar to the other teens. they get long workouts daily as part of their training, to keep them all fit and trimmed. cooper's body has little to no body fat whatsoever. she's slim and trimmed, as (femaletrainer) often tells her. she's lean and wired, but her skin appears so soft people often underestimate her.

{.h e i g h t.}
five feet, four inches. (maletrainer) enjoys making fun of her shortness.

{.w e i g h t.}
cooper weighs in at just below one-hundred-and-ten pounds.

{.c l o t h i n g.}
cooper's wardrobe is pretty simple, yet bold. if she's just around the cabin, she's often wearing only a pair of booty shorts and tanktops, some form of sweater over it. at night time she exchanges the shorts and tank top for a pair of even shorter sleep shorts and a tshirt.

if she's on a job she's usually caught wearing all black. the trainers enforce the whole, sterotypical dark clothes thing when the teens are on jobs. cooper prefers simple black skinny jeans, rips on the thighs, sometimes below the knees. she wears a gray tanktop over a black camisole. and, of couse, she'd never leave the cabin without her slightly worn down maddie-styled combat boots.

.'cause I can't make you love me if you don't. you can't make your heart feel something it won't.
cooper can be described in many, many ways.

some words often use include, fiesty, stubborn, short tempered, hot headed, bitchy.

of course, those are just a few. cooper's personality completely and utterly depends on who she's around. if she's around a jerk, or someone who's rude, she's probably going to be pretty snarky, smart-mouthed, things of the 'fiesty, stubborn, hot headed' sort.

but if you're sweet and an all around genuin person, cooper is a downright angel.

cooper's natural personality is very complex. around the teens, she's snarky, short tempered at times. she always had some kind of smart a*s comeback, especially with vincent. the two of them bicker like an old married couple half of the time.

she has a tendency to act like a bit of a 'slut' as (femaletrainer) often calls her, simple because of how she dresses, and she acts like nothing can hurt her if she's at home. oh, and maybe, perhaps because cooper is very touchy-feely, sort of affectionate with all of the other teens.

truthfully, cooper loves the other teens more than anything. they're her family for all intents and purposes. while she views her trainers as parents of some sort, the teens are her amily. she would lay down her life for them, no questions asked. this is why she's so affectionate when it comes to them. she needs physical contact of any sort as a reassurance of sorts, just to make sure they don't dissapear. she could sit there and argue and bicker with any of them all day, but she always makes sure she hugs them before bed that night.

{.h a b i t s.}
she bites her lips.
smoking and occasional drinking.
minor swearing.
she stutters sometimes when she's nervous.
playing with the ends of her hair..

{.q u i r k s.}
she has a slight lisp on her 's's. even if she's crying her eyes out, she'll assure everyone that she's okay. she has recurring depression, something that everyone assumes she got from her parents.

{.l i k e s.}
cooper's kind of a movie freak. any kind of movie, she'll watch. except for romance. romance movies, she just can't take seriously, with the exceptions of anything ryan gosling, rachael mcadams, and titanic.

she likes food, too. she's always eating. everyone calls her the walking fridge, because she always has some kind of food on her. if she's not training, sleeping, or bathing, then she's eating.

there's one thing she likes more than eating, and that's reading. she stays up half the night every night just reading and listening to music.

{.d i s l i k e s.}
cooper doesn't like mornings. hates them, in fact. although, it's mostly her fault for staying up late anyways.

she also doesn't like getting wet unless she's taking a shower. she hates rain and storms in general.

she doesn't really dislike many things, but she absolutely despises if someone changes it off of a movie she's watching.

{.s t r e g n t h s.}
one of cooper's strongest areas is her ability to use a crssbow. now, the thing is, crossbows are ridiculously heavy, so most people can barely use them standing still. cooper can use them any way imaginable; moving, standing still, in a ditch, up a tree. anywhere.

she also has an impecible ability to quote nearly every movie imaginable, but her favorite is by far, mean girls.

she can cook. not very well, but she's the one who makes meals every day for the teens.

{.w e a k n e s s e s.}
cooper can't swim.

she's terrified of heights, so if she were to ever get into a tree she'd freeze up and not be able to do anything.

she has night terrors often. not exactly a weakness, but she hates them.

she loves too much.

. o t h e r .

{.b i k e.}
similar to a crotchrocket. nearly completely silent, only heard when it's too late.

{.w e a p o n.}
somewhat home made. a nerf crossbow, modified to support more than one arrow at a time.

{.s e x u a l i t y.}
straight. or both. as long as your persuasive.

serious. alice is completely serious about what she does in training these young girls to become assassins. she very rarely works with the boys, but she does every now and then. in addition to training the girls how to fight and kill, she also gives them advice like a mother would. alice, while serious on the field, can be witty, funny, and just all around fun to be around usually.

.h i s t o r y.
alice was only twelve when she made her first kill. pretty young, she knows, but someone had to do it. her father was an assassin, and when he was halfway through training alice, someone killed him. alice had no mother, she'd died when alice was younger, so alice hunted down her father's killer and avenged him. when she was fifteen, she met charles. they wanted to start their own assassin training facilities. alice called in some of her father's friends who helped the young teens with the kidnapping, and even though herself and charles were young they raised the kids into teenhood.

notice! I've changed the character count; I'll only be accepting four forms total; so when we have everyone, there will be three teenage females, three teenage males, and then the adult trainers. :)

@ ` ` Rainy Day:

I adore your form, but if you're applying for one of the teens her age needs to be between sixteen and seventeen, please. But if you're applying for one of the trainers, I'll need her age to be around late twenties-mid thirties. :)

[OH MY FREAKING GOSH YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG I'VE BEEN SCARED THAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN AND OMG ARRGGGHHHH I GIVE UP ON LIFE WHY WOULD WHOEVER INVENTED THOSE WORDS SPELL THEM SO CLOSE LIKE WHAT]

and I don't want the world to see me

Cooper let out a silent squeak as the motorcycle lurched off. She tightened her grip on Jared out of instinct, fearing that if she let go even a little bit she would fall right off of the moving death-trap. She kept her eyes shut for a long while, until she finally gathered the courage to pry them open a tiny bit.

She had to admit, she's glad that she did. She stared through half squinted eyes as the world rushed by her in a blur. It was so much more surreal than if she had been in a car, because she could feel the wind rushing at her.

cause I don't think that they'd understand.

[oh, geez... xD also I'm not gonna do any more lyrics tonight because I'm way too lazy. xD]

Cooper nodded as she stepped off the bike. She was suddenly glad she'd let Michelle pick her outfit, so that she wouldn't feel completely out of place. Then she remembered he'd called her Alice- again. She glared. "My name is Cooper- not Alice." she thought it was ironic, really, how just that morning she couldn't say his name right to save her life. Funny how the roles had reversed, huh?

Cooper scowled up at him, her neatly plucked eye brows drawing together to form a look of offense. "You're kind of an a*s, you know that?" she muttered as he tugged her into the club. If this were a cliche movie of some sort, when he put his arm around her waist this is what her thoughts would have sounded like:

I hate his attitude but maybe he's nice deep down. I can't help but love the feel of his arm around me, it gives me butterflies.

No.

Instead, all she wanted was for him to stop touching her. She didn't know him, and frankly she didn't care to. What she cared to do was get through this night, go home and finish her college apps, go to sleep and start her future and never think of this Jared guy again.

[ooh, yes! are you touchy with medical conditions in plots? I know some people don't care if the character has like cancer or something but other people are really bothered by it.]

Cooper glared. "First of all, they're not stupid. They're going to determine my entire future, the rest of my life! And secondly, ew, you're disgusting." she thought about simply getting up and going to call a cab, but decided having a soda or something first wouldn't hurt.

[okay this is random but have you heard that song 'Try' by pink? well ummm ever since it came out I kept thinking it was by kelly clarkson and i don't know like what just happened you know?]

Rachael couldn't bring herself to meet Alex's gaze. She was trying to keep her breathing under control, because if she didn't, she knew she'd lose it. She breathed in deeply through her nose and ate her food tiny bite after tiny bite while he spoke. She may have seemed somewhat uninterested, but in reality all that she could hear was what Alex was saying to her.s up to his.

When he finished, she put her fork down. She played with her fingers for a minute, trying desperately to find something- anything- to say. After opening and closing her mouth a few times, looking like a fish out of water, she finally was able to stutter out a response.

"I.. As much as I hate to admit it, I trust you. Way more than I've ever trusted anyone." she finally raised her eyes to his. "I want this, whatever it is, to go somewhere. I want to have something with you." her voice was soft and slightly shy as she spoke. "I just, I- I'm scared. I am so scared." her voice wavered a bit, but didn't break.

"The last guy I was with saved me from jumping off a bridge. I gave him everything, and he ended up cheating on me." she felt her lips curl up into a bitter smile. "Funnily enough, he broke up with me the weekend before I came into the drug store." as if a sudden realization had dawned on her, her entire expression changed into one of curiosity. "You... You kind of saved me, in a way. If you think about it."

She shook her head to clear her thoughts. "But I can't- I'm- I-" she broke off, frustrated with her inability to get any words past her lips. She took a deep breath. "If this becomes anything, if you start to mean more to me than you already do, and you just leave, I won't-" she cut herself off, locking her jaw. She really didn't want to finish her words, and frankly, she was sure Alex got the picture.
