personality evaluated.

A girl like Allison Diana Young is difficult to explain. Her inconsistency of mood has been known to baffle even those who know to expect it. One minute she’ll be laughing and dancing and praising life, while the next minute will find her drowning in tears. Her moods have no middle-ground. With her intense amounts of passion and emotion, her highs are uncontrollable and her lows are irreparable. She brings the same passion to almost every aspect of herself. Her relationships, her hobbies, her work, anything Allison does she does all the way. The young woman pours herself into almost everything. This puts her at risk every time. When she offers up so much of herself, she risks becoming easily destroyed.

Allison is easy to become acquainted with, but hard to get to know on a deeper level. Those people who have earned her trust find her an invaluable friend, but she believes wholeheartedly in the power of relentlessly brutal honesty. There are ways of being honest meant to hurt, and Allison would only employ such tactics against her enemies. She has spent many years under the cruel scrutiny of others and she knows the hurt it will bring. Yet, she will not shy away from pointing out a flaw that she sees. Not to make you feel bad or to bring you down, for the girl has been known to fall in love with flaws.

Allison is a thrill seeker. She loves danger, adventure, mischief, and everything in between. Always, the girl has gravitated toward trouble, when she was younger she had many troubles with authority. With age she gained enough wisdom to hold her tongue long enough to hold down a steady job.

In addition to her wild ways, Allie can be very cerebral at times. She spends a great deal of time in her own head; theorizing, imagining, inventing. Always searching for an answer to the world's big questions, trying to understand the human condition. Allison's thoughts can range from delightfully inspirational to downright twisted. She often finds herself struggling to keep the thoughts from consuming her.

Allison is loud, quiet, cruel, kind, brilliant, idiotic, and everything in between. Simply put, a contradiction and impossible to define.

history evaluated.

The home Allison grew up in, wasn't a nurturing one. Most days found Mother Young passed out on the couch from whatever drugs she had taken prior. She had been in and out of rehab for a lot of Allie's childhood and after that she'd switched to prescription drugs. With an absentee mother, it left room for her father to run the household. The Patriarch was unforgiving, unyielding, and unsympathetic. Under his reign, Allie never felt the kind of affection she thought families were supposed to share. She tried not to let it get to her, always reminding herself that while she felt constantly scrutinized and criticized at least the abuse was not physical.

In high school, Allison was a wild child. She broke every rule she could. She skipped class, smoked in the woods, and drank. Oh, the drinking. Allison must have gotten some of her mother's addictive personality because at get-togethers with her friends she would always manage to consume the most alcohol. Either that or it was her recklessness. Allison had an amazing ability to seem to never worry about the consequences of her actions. She barely graduated high school, got grades much worse than what she might have been capable of if she actually cared about school at all.

Allison had a small group of friends, but mostly acquaintances, none that she was really close with and felt that she could trust. She got teased a lot in high school, and shut down and avoided others. There was one person, however, to whom she was very close. One of the only Asian kids at their Savannah High School, Jimmy Sato was an outcast. Allison felt a kinship with him and they clicked almost immediately. Jimmy was the one person Allie felt she could trust and rely on. He was the accomplice to all of her schemes, almost like her apprentice of mischief. The two were like opposites, and balanced each other nicely. Where Allison was reckless, Jimmy was cautious—the voice of reason to counter her wild ways.

Jimmy's family practically raised Allison during her teenage years. They weren't perfect by any means. Hanging around his house with so many loud children running around out of control made her feel more at home than she ever did in her own home. She found the silence of her mother sleeping in front of the TV and her father holed up in his office silently toiling away at work, eerie and unsettling.

In high school, Allison outed herself as a lesbian. It had to have something to do with her "daddy issues" but exactly what would take a very talented therapist to unravel. Allison didn't feel only attracted to girls naturally, but she had convinced herself it was the safer choice. In truth, Allison sought after a loving relationship built on trust. She thought with women a relationship would have equals, with no gender issues to force them into pre-determined roles. She also thought that with girls a relationship would be more emotional rather than physical. Whether or not she was right, she never really discovered. She was determined to adopt this lifestyle, to the point of even forcing herself to feel shame and guilt if she developed even the slightest crush on a boy. Because she lived in the south, people were not accepting of her homosexuality and she received a lot of teasing for it.

Out of the teasing that Allison received, there was one boy in particular that was the worst. Nathan Ford. The teasing started light. With Nathan's only real motivation was to look to his jock friends like he hadn't been secretly picturing what was underneath all the dark clothes and make-up. How Allison's pale skin would look against his bedsheets. But Allison sought her revenge. Stubborn and not willing to let some girl the best of him, the pranking, teasing, and humiliation between the two escalated into an all-out war. And that's how it went too far, and that's how Allison got young Nathan Ford hospitalized for something that was supposed to be a joke. A cruel joke, perhaps, but it was never supposed to be like this.

After that incident, Allison kept her head down and focused on her school work and just barely managed to squeak by with a high enough GPA to graduate. Her friend Jimmy, on the other hand, was very smart and talented. Although he spent most of his time misbehaving with her he still managed to do his schoolwork and it helped that he tested excellently even when he hadn't studied. Because of this, he was able to get into a good college, whereas Allison.. was not. When Jimmy left for college she was heartbroken. She felt abandoned and alone.

Without anyone else to turn to, Allison chased her on-again off-again girlfriend, Grace, to California. She was determined to rekindle their relationship. She thought if she made a big gesture of love, like tracking Grace down and professing her feelings the two could be together again. It worked at first, and their relationship was wild and passionate and strong as ever. Even better than it had been. But as bi-polar and unable to be tamed as Allison herself, the relationship failed. Allison found herself alone again, but this time she had something other than a girl to chase after.

As a child, Allison had always been fascinated with make-up. She stole her mothers and tried it on. Although the result was that she looked like a clown. A whorish clown, what with her mother's unsophisticated color palette. In high school she had been one of those girls with a heavy made-up look, with lots of dark hues and heavy liner. As she grew older she learned how to create more subtle looks and started practicing on her friends. Allison eventually got a volunteer job doing make-up for Grace's theater company. Grace was a small-time actress, acting in local productions with low budgets. Allison normally hung out backstage with her before she went on, and when the company lost their makeup the job naturally just fell to Allison. Although they never paid her for it. After her falling out with Grace, Allison realized this was actually her passion all along. She enrolled in beauty school and developed a growing interest in the makeup of Hollywood productions, everything from runway glamour to historical makeup to science fiction/fantasy with it's unnatural colors and prosthetics. The next thing she knew, she was living in L.A., trying to break into the industry. Finally she had a reason to focus on herself and her career. She didn't need anyone else, she was going after her dream.
