[style=font-family: helvetica; font-size: 13px; letter-spacing: 6px; text-transform: uppercase; text-align: center;]HALEYCAT FULL NAME: berlin agatha gilmore ALIAS: ber, lin, berber, bl DATE OF BIRTH: 09.12.1994 AGE: seventeen OCCUPATION: student SEXUALITY: bi-curious PLAY BY: brynja jonbjarnardottir HIGH SCHOOL [style=background-color: #65727A; border: 10px solid #65727A; font-family: georgia; letter-spacing: 10px; color: white; text-align: center;]all about me with a knee brace constantly wrapped around the clothing of her left knee, berlin walks through the halls of her high school with a timid smile on her face. she is the new girl, the one that everyone is curious about and even more so as her step has a slight limp in it. she even has steams of small daisies intertwined in her brunette locks. she has the appearance of a child, maybe seventeen years old, and if that was the guess, you are right. she is seventeen years young and it shows on her youthful face but her eyes are a little more wiser than her physical appearance. her parents are the reason for her rather feminine but eco-friendly ways. her father was once one of the largest oil tycoons in the business and they were swimming in the dollars, born with a silver spoon in her mouth, that never influenced berlin to be anything short of respectable and sweet. she was born to be proper but something slipped down the road, it’s not that she was never polite but eventually, she stopped believing that her father did was good for anyone. the oil company that he worked for happened to have a falter when she was about eight years old and they went from riches to a regular sized income when everything crashed and burned under her father’s name. the gilmores were nothing but middle class people and this life was much more suitable to berlin’s beliefs than the ones that she was forced to endure and promote under the public eye. after the oil spill, her father’s eyes seem to open just a little more when he, his wife (susan) and berlin all travelled down to the gulf of mexico to see the damage that had been done. animals, plants, an entire ecosystem destroyed and all that did was enforce berlin’s ideas about environmentalism and open her father’s eyes to the damage that he had done over the years. [/style]three things about berlin’s lifestyle: 1) her clothes are not conventional. she does not opt to wear anything that relates to an animal or their by product. she is satisfied in her attire of longer grass like skirts and she usually has a headband around her head. she has the appearance of a hippie from the 1970’s in a sense but that’s not what she is exactly aiming for. berlin just believes that the world is a beautiful place and that, it needs to be shown more love. 2) she is, and for as long as she can remember, a vegan. this would mean that once more, the girl does not eat any kind of meat or animal by product. she takes supplements to make sure that her bones are not brittle as she does not drink milk or have anything with calcium and even her vitamins are organic. 3) berlin is not athletically fit. she does not run due to her injury and she had no desire to bounce a ball on her knee or on the ground to toss it into something that could potentionally end up harming a sea animal if the net is tossed into the ocean. political and religious views 1) political: she usually opts for the green party, naturally, but sometimes the liberals have her attention more than anything. she does not believe that money is the most important thing in the world and that opts out most political parties as everything to them is about cutting taxes and making the most money for the middle and upper class. 2) religious: berlin has no true religious affliciation even though she was baptised as a catholic. her parents are the kind that went and continue the tradition of going to church and speaking to g-d as though he/she will reply back. berlin does not follow this belief and kind of thinks that we run our lives and has no true understanding or even idea of what someone of a higher being could be. quirks 1) berlin takes two steps at a time, always. she feels that it helps to stretch out her leg and saves her time, it’s really the only athletic thing that she will do. 2) if something is not agreeable in her mind, she will protest it—picket signs and all. 3) when overly stressed, will light up a weed cigarette and take exactly one puff in order to calm herself down. 4) adjusts her knee brace at least 6 times a day and is often fidgeting with the Velcro strap which causes it to wear down faster and that would mean that since the accident, berlin has gone through about eight or nine braces. 5) she does not really care to match her tops and bottoms and sometimes clashes with the trends of today. 6) actually cares what people think of her but she makes it a big deal to let the thought roll of her shoulder as fast as she can as not to hint on to anyone that it bothers her. 7) bottles up her emotions until she explodes in the form of a romantic relationship or problems with in her extremely personal life. study habits opting to write on organic paper, one that has a stench to it, berlin finds that she focuses better when she is one on one with the teacher and is often staying late in order to get that one on one time. she is very much into the idea of being a top student but puts more effort into her beliefs and her protests more so than her studies. this habit of hers would make her an average student of a B or C average. math and science are her best subjects and she excels in them, not really needing to jot down notes as she remembers things rather easily. however, her other subjects would require more effort that she does not have time or the patience to put it. her studying is usually the night before a test, unless it’s a final, and her homework is either not done or completely fabricated to make it appear like there is something on her paper. relations with others as much as berlin will deny it, she depends on other people to get her through life. she may be a quiet girl upon first appearances but eventually, she opens up and she needs people to help guide her in life as the eco-friendly world is all that she has ever really thought to look at. she knows that her life will involve helping to save the environment but she has no idea what effort it will take and the toll of time that it will take away from her social life. berlin tries to interact with people as much as she can but clashing views often put a stop to that friendship quickly. she does not mind the idea of others eating meat infront of her, as berlin’s parents happen to enjoy a good steak now and then, but she does not like when people pick up the meat and pretend to have it talk to her. she is not a fan of being patronized for her more eccentric views on the world and will speak up against the bullying. overall, if you have a good head on your shoulders and have the same idea that the world needs our help to be saved, and you willing to plant a tree with her—then nothing really stands in the way of a friendship. as for her romantic views, berlin has never thought of herself as the “relationship” kind of girl and would prefer the idea of being asexual over everything else but there is one boy in the senior class that has her knees getting weak at the mere sight of him and this confuses her very much as berlin has never really taken over by her hormones before. the accident let’s hop back in time to the fifteenth year of berlin’s life. the news had once more decided to bring up the anniversary of the oil spill and show the recovery of the life that was happening—and berlin went to the actual sight to see. she spotted otters, seals, fish, swam into the actual water to see that the fishes were returning and only about seven years after the incident. she was amazed and a little shocked but it turned out that the fishing market on the small mexican town had not been as excited to see the young girl returning to the spot that her dad’s company had destroyed. three men, fishers whose business was influenced by the oil spill, took charge of a small operation that involved smashing a pipe onto the girl’s leg and making her father see the reflection as berlin’s leg was shattered and so was their lives. her leg was meant to represent the company that had been shattered, a structure and a pillar needed to keep the family afloat and berlin had taken the hit with a poise and grace that seemed to irritate the men further. she completely agreed with what they were saying, not the actions that they took as that came as a surprise but there was very little that a fifteen year old girl could do. dropping her off at the hotel lobby where her parents and herself had resided for the week, berlin was left with a shattered left leg due to the contact of the blunt object to her knee. birthplace berlin was actually born in austria as that was the headquarters country for the oil company, meant to put austria on the map for the world’s powers to notice but they moved to the united states when she was six but berlin can still speak the language and she visits her hometown every so often. why myrtle beach? berlin and her family are fresh off the plane on this one, deciding that they needed a change of scene from the Chicago life that they were living. with berlin’s permission, as she was in high school still, she agreed that a small town life would be more acceptable and a little more personal. she is the new girl once more and though she is new, her ideas and her beliefs are bigger than herself and the town. |
