"The girls name, Annabel Clarisse, wasn't chosen by any special means - it was conjured by the doctor that had delivered her on the spot, per her father's request. Their plan was to just name her after the doctor, but sadly, his name was Dr. Dick Arnold Mais, which didn't give the couple much to work with for their 'perfect, poised little daughter'. This day was just a bit over twenty one years ago, on March 3rd. She was born in Orlando Florida, and grew up with everyone that's in the band Undercover Lovers, which is how she got the job as manager for them.

- PERSONALITY -
At one moment, a smile is brightening her stunning features, and at the next, a glare is hardening it. Simply to say, Anna's moods shift from one to the next in a matter of seconds. She's always the first one to cry at the movies, not that it has ever bothered her. Her vastly changing moods can throw her into trouble, and is often what she blames any burst of anger towards. She has no clue why she's this moody - neither of her parents were like this. Her mother had controlled everything with a confident sense of force, while her father was a calm man that often hid what he was feeling, unless it was truly important. Though Anna's mood shifts could give a person whiplash, she's normally one extreme or the other. Rather caring and outgoing, she loves to make someone's day, or she's upset and ignoring nearly everyone with the fear that she would lash out at them. From this trait, she also has quite a temper. It plays into her argumentative, cocky, and rather bitchy traits as well, giving her a bit of a bite. She doesn't hid this either - she's learned that it does no good. Anna can't keep her emotions in check, so they're bound to go haywire.

Anna loves being out, loves being in the limelight, and loves people being around her. She doesn't like to be alone - it bothers her - and therefore, keeps a lot of friends close to her. She's out nearly every night, and if she's not, then she has people over. She simply can't sit still. Whether it be shopping, dancing away her worries at the local hit nightclub, or just driving around, looking for trouble, Anna can't stand not having anything to do. She's an outgoing girl, very charismatic, and makes friends easy. If one of her friends is having an off night, she'll be the one to drag them away and make it the best night of their life. People gravitate towards Anna - her want for a good time, her million-watt smile, her infectious laughter. She wants others to have a good time, and will normally keep her issues inside so others won't have to deal with them. Depending on who the people around are, and whether she trusts them enough to spill her heart out. There aren't many that she trusts enough to do that with sober, and once you're there Anna will have her grips on you until you do something to hurt her or her pride. She takes things personal, she just can't help it. Comebacks and revenge are two things that she adores - and if you hurt her, then you lost her trust, and be prepared for both.

Always looking out for others best interests, Anna will be sweeter than sugar towards you. Whether it's an act or no depends on the situation and who you are, but it is just her default. You can never go wrong with nice, she figures. And every now and again, it can really get you places. With her upbringing, she was raised to be polite and respectful, which are both things that she holds dearly to her now, things that she lives by. She always has a warm embrace and an encouraging smile at hand for whoever needs it, and is someone who always wants to help out however she can. Even if she can't, she'll try. Anna tends to play 'mother' to a lot of people, on purpose or no, whether she trusts them or no. First impressions stand out in her mind, and she finds them important. Half the time she doesn't mean to be judgmental, and often feels guilty over it later, but it's something about herself that she can't shake off. It sticks to her, and she's tried her hardest to pull it away from her, only proving to be unsuccessful. All in all, she'd determined. Her eyes are set on a bright and shining future, and Anna wouldn't let anything get in the way of that. Her flaws are plentiful, but she does know how to hide most of them on command.

- HISTORY -
Elliot Murphy, at the age of twenty three, visited France for a vacation with a few close friends. It was a bachelor party made into a last vacation before family life. Madeleina, fresh faced and eager to face the world on her own at the age of eighteen had grown up there – it was home. The two met in a local bar, and went back to her apartment. He ended up taking her back to America with him, before either even knew that Anna had been conceived. The pair were in love – and there was no doubting that fact. Elliot was laying down the plans for his own law firm, having just a few months until graduating law school early. Madeleina became the perfect trophy wife; she was stunning, well-mannered, had a sense of style, and planned events like the best. Then, she learned that she was pregnant. Elliot, being the honest man he is, asked her to marry him and the rest was history. Well, except for the point where they were planning on aborting the pregnancy – but Madeleina backed out last minute, not wanting it to get out into their new place in society and affect their reputation. So, on March 3rd, Annabel Clarisse Murphy was born, whether Elliot and Madeleina were ready and wanting or no.

Anna was taken care of by a nanny most of the time – and she was nice enough. But a nanny couldn’t provide the kind of love that Anna desired as a young girl. She hardly saw Elliot and Madeleina, but their marriage was still going strong. Anna was told whenever she asked where the pair were that they were “busy working” and “would see her later”. She accepted it, not knowing what else she could do. Her five year old brain couldn’t comprehend the idea that her biological parents weren’t large fixtures in her life. Her nanny was enough for her, but when that’s all you’ve known for your entire life, wouldn’t you believe it was too? Anna was always falling and tripping, and had many scars in proof of the incidents. She often played alone in her large room, or one of her mother’s friend’s daughters and their nanny came over to keep her company. Anna was given all that she wanted, even things she didn’t. It came with the wealth and high society of her family name. The Murphy’s. Two of the best lawyers in the country, and the most adorable and well-mannered young girl the town had seen in years. The perfect picture, and that’s all they were. Anna only saw her parents for the social gatherings and the family portraits. The public life. Her mother started putting her into fashion shoots, now becoming mom-ager extraordinaire. It’s what Anna grew up with; private schools, model shoots, and high fashion in her hometown.

At the age of ten, Anna’s nanny wasn’t needed anymore so she was much to Anna’s dismay and protesting, then let go. “She wasn’t a necessity when you can stay home by yourself,” her mother had explained, sounding very flippant, short, and slightly annoyed. “Plus, you’ll be so busy with shoots and fittings, your friends, and school you won’t even notice her missing!” Not notice? Anna found it doubtful, but knew that arguing was no use. And she did miss her nanny much. Her nanny had always helped her with her homework, and friend issues, and if she needed someone to talk to about the life of a young model. Her dreams, deep thoughts, all of her desires were now unheard. But, Anna being who she was had gotten over it. Her mother wouldn’t listen to her, she knew. Anna wasn’t close enough with any friends, except the Runes, even if she was considered the ‘most popular’. Not that it mattered to Anna – all it was were bonfires, stupid jokes, cocky boys who were just starting to make those dirty references and bitchy girls that were always down each others’ throats. So, Anna grew up. She dealt with these friends of hers, got all A’s, was the perfect student. She kept modeling vigorously, and at thirteen she started walking the catwalk for the junior’s line of some big brand. Her mother kept her in the modeling business, setting her up for shoots and commercials, having pulled away from her career. That was all her mother did, though, and she still never saw Elliot. He was always either in his home office working, out with clients, at the office, or out of town.

When Anna started high school in Orlando, things changed for her. She was sick of her classmates’ immature antics, so she set out for new friends. She became closer with other models in the area, majority of them older then she, and they all turned to be tighter then Anna could believe. She was now in an entertaining group of popular crowd, all of them outgoing and ready for a good time. She entered the parties flawlessly, and fit right it with the scene. The drinking made her feel alive and like she fit it, and all of her friends were doing it, so she felt it was right. And it was, really. She fit in there – she was older and more mature then her classmates as is, so it just made sense for her to do these kinds of things before any of them. Therefore, practically every night of the summer she spent in a club, or in someone’s house drinking away her troubles. She was taken with open arms; grinding up against guys like the pros, taking back shots like the seniors, and having a different hookup almost every night. She kept it to a minimum and left herself out of the limelight – tried to not do anything too crazy. But she slipped sometimes. Anna was prone to hookups, which generally always got out. During her entire high school career she’s been working hard for her grades, and even harder to keep her reputation at its highest point. She’s trying to quell the bitch a bit more, and bring out her caring side. For the most part, it worked, but her old ways seep out more often then she would like. Eventually, Anna took herself out of the scene, and attended the University of Florida, getting a Business degree, all the while managing Undercover Lovers, which after her graduation, she kept at. It’s what she loves, and she loves the people that she’s around daily, even if they’re a pain in her ass."





^{hey, so i'm COURTNEY. i've been roleplaying for ONE YEAR now. as well as this character, i also play NO ONE. you can reach me by PM/AIM/MSN if you need me for anything. i found PERFECT DYSFUNCTION by allie bby and i'm pretty glad i did. here's an example of mah skillz. (:}

The conversation had taken her by surprise. Being an impulsive and generally flirty person with no inhibitions, Anna often got herself into situations such as this one. But for the first time in as long as she could remember, she actually liked the guy that she got herself tangled up in. Just thinking about him made her heart skip a beat and a smile to take over her features. She’s never felt like this. Sure, Anna’s had dates, hookups, and boyfriends galore - but she’d never really cared for any of them. She had thought that she did; in comparison though, she hadn’t felt a thing. It wasn’t natural for her, and the butterflies in her stomach, the nerves, this pulsing life force that seemed to be taking over her very being, scared her shitless. Anna didn’t know what she wanted. She didn’t know if she wanted to fall in love. She didn’t know if she was going to end up heartbroken, or with a happily ever after. Anna had always been the friend that deserved love, could easily receive it, but had never shown interest. For years she’d call her friends idiots for letting themselves become that revolved around another person. To her, it had been silly and incomprehensible. Could she be the girl she had never wanted to be? If she kept thinking with her heart and hormones like she had, then Anna could easily be that girl, to the worst degree. Sebastian had the power to do that to her, she was positive. This knowledge only made the fear grip around her heart and lungs that much tighter.

Her fear filled eyes were locked with their stony reflection in her mirror. For the past ten minutes she had been sitting here, at her vanity, staring at herself and thinking, wondering, questioning, fearing, reveling, yearning. Shaking her head slightly, yanking her head out of the state it had been in for what felt like hours, Anna’s charcoal eyes gazed back down at the array of makeup covering the top of the smooth, pure white counter in front of her. Deciding to focus on that, one last fleeting thought ran through her head before she could stop it. You’re so falling for him, and you so wanted this to happen. Without allowing herself to expand, she grabbed her cover-up and applied a light layer, an outline of eyeliner, and a swish of mascara, then decided that was all she would do. Annabel only had about twenty minutes until Sebastian had told her he’d arrive to pick her up, so she needed to prioritize. Most days, she didn’t wear makeup anyways, but on dates she normally would. Realizing it wasn’t necessarily normal to wear less makeup on the first date with a guy she actually liked, Anna couldn’t hold back a small smile as she started teasing her hair and pinning it to place on the side of her head.

Fifteen minutes later, Anna was happy with both her hair and makeup, and went to pick out an outfit. Glancing at her clock, she realized she only had five minutes remaining before he was going to arrive. Thinking over her wardrobe, she went searching for a favorite romper of hers and a pair of strappy sandals to match, with an over-the-shoulder hobo bag to finish off the look. Throwing them on and transferring bags, she saw there were two minutes left. Digging through a bin on bracelets, she picked out a couple and twisted them over her hand and around her wrist. Slipping diamond stud earrings into her ears, Anna deemed herself ready and made way for the entry hall. Looking around the spacious house, she saw that her parents weren’t home. Seeing a piece of lined paper laying out on the entry table, she picked it up and read over the loopy writing. The crisp paper crinkled in her hand as she took a firmer grip, echoing in the silent, spacious house. This was her mother’s way of telling her that her parents were out for the evening; possibly the weekend, maybe even the week. You could never tell by the letters they left. They were always vague, such as ‘We’re gone’ or ‘Don’t wait up tonight’, even the occasional ‘be safe and fend for yourself.’ Yes, Anna’s parents definitely deserved an award of some sort.

Rolling her eyes, she crinkled the paper in her hand and went to throw it away in the kitchen. As she turned and began walking, a soft knock sounded through the door. Her mood immediately perked up, excitement and fear once again taking over her. Running to the kitchen, she threw the paper away, and ran back to the door, pulling it open in one swift motion. With a grin that could split her face in half, she noticed his hair. His stunning, amazing, god-like hair. She couldn’t get enough of his hair. Or his eyes. Or his smile. Or his chest, his arms, his hands… Everything. It was strange. Gesturing him in, she tried to reign herself in. It was the first date, after all. ”Hey, so, uh, I’ll take those,” She wasn’t sure. Anna didn’t get flowers all too often, surprisingly enough. Reaching a hand out for them, she went in search for a vase in the other room. Seeing one laying on the table, currently occupied, she studied it for a short moment before dumping the contents out to replace them with the roses that Sebastian had brought her. ”I thought flowers were only for like, apologizing,” Anna gave Seb a curious look. Shows how much she knows about flowers and actual, feeling-filled dates.
