secrets. she's a closet virgin, and her mum died of cancer when she was twelve, and she still blames herself for it.
personality evaluated.

most people see nicole, and immediately think superficial. she's bubbly, loves shoes, drinks skinny lattes and says "biatch". she's that typical LA baby that has a rich father who spoils her too much. it never used to be that way. she used to be happy, but when her mum died when she was twelve, nicole went wild. she did whatever she wanted, didn't listen to authority, ignored every word of sense thrown at her - she did her own thing, and she didn't care what happened. she's pretty much still like that - she's impulsive. she doesn't really think things through. she just does what she wants and doesn't think about the consequences. she's a bit arrogant - if she doesn't think you're on her level, she'll tell you, and not kindly. she's also big on respect, though. if you don't earn it, she won't give it to you. she isn't going to bow down and treat you like a god the moment you want her to. you have to prove you're actually deserving of it. she tends to make friends easily, though. it's keeping them that's tough for her. sure, she can put on an innocent smile and make a few people laugh, and it's easy for people to assume she's a cool person, but the moment you piss her of or say something wrong, she's hell to pay with. she can be a complete and total bitch when she wants to, and she doesn't care what anyone thinks of her. she'll do whatever she wants to. she has enough of an ego that she doesn't need everyone's approval.

maybe that's one of the good things about her. she confident, and doesn't need constant approval from everyone around her. she can beat to her own drum just fine and not be bothered. she's also extremely loyal to her real friends. she'll put you through tests to make sure you're a real friend, yeah. but once she feels like she can honestly trust you, she's a completely different person. she's bubbly and honest, and fun to be around. she's fearless - nicole will try anything at least once. she says "if you can't live life to the fullest, why live it at all?" she really believes in that statement, lives by it. she'll always encourage her friends to try new things, but she's more interested in doing things for herself. in that way, nicole is a bit selfish. sure, she adores her friends and would to anything for them, but living her entire life being spoiled has sort of ruined her. she's narcissistic. only thinks about herself most of the time. what she'll get out of the situation, how it will affect her and her career, etc. this also tends to run people away from her. but, nicole is a bit of a chameleon. she can change with her surroundings. her personality is a bit flip-floppy. depending on who she's hanging out with, he personality will change. and in that way, she's two faced.

nicole is very rarely genuine - she doesn't show weakness to people, rarely shows deep emotions. she's pretty much been shoving her feelings down for years. it's hard for people to get close to nicole. she has layers, and no one has ever really gotten to the heart deep inside the person. because deep inside, nicole is vulnerable. everything terrifies her, she's sweet and honest, and she hates what she's become. but all of that is drowned out by the constant expectations from the people surrounding her. she can barely hear her heart over all the continuous chatter in her mind.

history evaluated.

nicole grew up in los angeles, california. she was one of those typically spoiled girls you find through out the city. the girl who's sweet sixteen is on mtv, the girl who gets a new car every two years. the girl who's mother tragically dies of cancer leaving the family heart broken and torn. it's practically out of a movie script. nicole changed. before her mum died, she was happy and outgoing, honest. she loved her family. did what she was asked. that all flew out the window. cole got closer to her sister, and got farther away from her father. her sister did not take their mother's death like cole did. she pretty much stayed the same. she was still quiet and obedient, leaned on cole a bit more, but didn't change like her sister. of course, it wasn't an immediate reaction. it started when she was thirteen. she stopped listening to her father. started losing her temper more often.

at fifteen she rarely talked to him at all. he was always flying to new york for business, so she rarely saw him anyway. maverick was a busy man who didn't have time for family anymore. but at seventeen, when he brought a new woman home, she went wild - stayed out until all hours of the morning, wrecked her car, got into fights, everything you can imagine. she was angry at her father. how could he replace her mum so easily? did he even remember her? he tried to straighten her out, but nothing worked. the day she turned eighteen, cole moved out. found an apartment ( which her dad payed for, though she refused ), got a job, started to take care of herself. the responsibility was a huge change for her. so she went looking for something better. after searching, she found it; a newspaper which advertised auditions for television shows and movies. she went to the audition - she had always loved acting, was in the drama club when she was in high school - and got a role. a small, but important, role in a movie in 2009.

she loved it. she loved the environment, she loved the work, she loved everything. she made friends with directors, and soon she was being invited to parties. and though she loved the industry, she was still wary. this was an entirely new world that she had never really been in. her parents had always sheltered her and ella - her mother had never wanted them to be in show business because she had been an actress herself. but somewhere deep down she also knew her mother would want her to do something she loved. and she had passion for acting. a passion that had never surfaced for anything else. and people could see that - her chameleon personality helped her dive into a role, and the way she played her character on screen was so riveting. she genuinely played the character like it was herself, not someone in a script. she occasionally got a few requests for modeling - for brands like abercrombie and such, and she accepted, but it just wasn't the same. acting was her chosen career.

roleplay sample.

she felt herself relax - she hadn't actually noticed she'd been holding her spine up straight until it curved into the back of her chair more comfortably - as he eased into the natural banter they had become accustomed to. she was glad that he wasn't frowning at her and asking her questions. she didn't want him seeing weaknesses in her. and though she appreciated that he cared, strangely enough, she didn't like how completely vulnerable it made her feel. she didn't like how he knew her so well despite all the walls she had put up. and it scared her - it scared her that she thought about him, it scared her that she had feelings for him. it scared her that her heart wanted to trust him no matter how much her mind screamed at her not to. the struggle to keep the smirk on her face was not hard - she'd learned to use her poker face throughout her life, and she had not lost the ability now. " well, i don't share but that doesn't mean you shouldn't. " ah, they were both hypocrites. maybe that's why is was so easy to joke with him. they both had flaws that they were very aware of. she ignored his chair as it shifted - she knew what he wanted, but the old aurora didn't do things to please one person, she did them to please herself, and at the moment, she was content to stay where she was. twirling a piece of hair around her index finger absently, she listened to him speak - something about his voice, how easily he played, made her relax a bit more. like maybe everything would be forgotten and they would go back to normal. maybe. " nasty habits can be broken, you know. "

she'd been slowly edging away from alcohol - sure it was hard. she was so used to relying on alcohol to drown her feelings, she didn't know what to do with them when they were in her line of sight. of course, aurora shoved her feelings down, like she always did. maybe she and demi had made up but she didn't feel close to him anymore. there was no connection, and there was barely any trust. they'd hurt each other far too many times, and the last time had been the last straw. she doubted they would ever be close again. at least for a very long time. funny, how the people she think you could trust with your life turn out to be the ones who hurt you the most. she observed icarus carefully - she had told him she trusted him. and somewhere she knew she wasn't lying. she did trust icarus. and no matter how much she didn't want to, she understood that a part of her always would. he had been there when her world had been falling apart, he'd listened, and he was the one person who knew her as well as she knew herself. and part of her didn't want to jeopardize that relationship. that was why she had been so adamant that they not be together - she wanted to keep him around, and if he cheated on her again, she couldn't trust herself not to push him away. she didn't want a chance of him doing something to kill her trust again.
