/ so i'm moving to new york

loves. Her home town, make-up, the entertainment industry, making people feel beautiful instead and out, the ocean shore, reading, yoga, coffee, fashion, family, talking, caring individuals, gardening, peace and quite, swimming, parties, children, art, and farming.
hates. Individuals with big egos, others who takes things for granted, lying, women who throw themselves at men, rudeness, drugs of any kind, backstabbing bitches, going out in the sun with out spf (it causes wrinkles and skin cancer!), the state of which the country is currently in.
quirks.Tends to be a bit ocd when it comes to her equipment (everything has it's proper place), bites her bottom lip when she's nervous or stressed, wears her mother's wedding ring on her right hand, when she's bored she'll hum to herself.
aspirations. To create her own make-up line, to be recognized around the world for her work, to have a house in Paris.
secrets. When she was eighteen she married her high school sweetheart who served in the Army. A year after their marriage he was killed in Iraq. A week after learning about his death she discovered she was pregnant only to miscarry two months later. Both subjects are very sensitive, so she keeps these facts to herself.
personality evaltuated.

Shy, confident, outgoing, caring, open minded, imaginative, independent, risk taker...

Dawn has always been a happy-go- lucky type of girl, never allowing things to get her down, but she changed when she lost her husband. It took her awhile to rediscover herself and to learn how to live again. Working on make-up was one of the many things that kept her focused and happy, and eventually helped her get back to her normal self.

Dawn has always been kind hearted, never wishing to bring harm to others no matter what the circumstances. She doesn’t like to be judged or judge others without getting to know them first. She believes it takes more than one meeting to see the true colors of someone, so she often allows others second chances despite what her first impression might have been. Everyone is an equal in her eyes. She loves to make people feel beautiful inside and out. Everyone was beauty within them somewhere.

Being stubborn and strong willed as she is can unfortunately bring out her bad side. Dawn takes disrespect from no one. That is the one thing she will not stand for. She will fight tooth and nail for what she believes in and won’t give up without a fight, bring out her hot-headed sarcastic side of her personality.

Overall, she just loves being who she is...A girl who loves make-up, fashion, and the business... Yet at the same time she loves going back to her roots and having the peace and quite that it can offer her.

history evaluated.
Dawn was born in a very small town in Kansas to a loving and hard working couple. The town was a farming community so she grew up learning how to work hard and get dirty. She was somewhat of a tomboy, but yet she still liked being a girly girl at times. With both of her parents working in the medical field it was something she grew up thinking she would want to do that as well until she went to Disneyland in California for the first time when she was seven. They just so happened to be doing a photoshoot that day, so seven year old Dawn witnessed the whole process. Hair, clothes, shoes, and the make-up... The make-up was like art and she loved art especially when it was free formed like that.

The first thing she did when she got home from the trip was raid her mother's make-up drawer and from then on she knew what she wanted to do. Going through school she kept her grades up even when she began dating Eric Sims her freshman year of high school. Even though he was a football player he was down to earth and intelligent, and quite honestly she couldn't imagine herself with anyone else. It wasn't until she was a junior when he had told her he was going to join the army like his father had and that very same day he proposed to her. They were married right after they graduated high school.

To pursue her career in make-up she moved to LA to go to a prestigious beauty school when she was 18, while her husband was sent into war. Having graduating from there near the top of her class she began to work under some artist as an apprentice, but it didn't take her long to branch off on her own.

By the time she was nineteen, nearly twenty, she was already working on some sets. It was also around this time she received word about Eric's death just after he had been with her over the holidays. He had been in Iraq for eleven days before his base was attacked. To make matters worse Dawn discovered she was pregnant a week after the news. Her parents tried to convince her to come back home to Kansas, but she refused to give up on her dream even if it meant she would raise a baby on her own.

Unfortunately the stress of work, planning a funnreal, and everything else took it's toll and she lost the baby two months along. Knowing she would need some help she did go to a few doctors and in the ended it did help get her life back on track. Four years has pasted and she's working on films doing all sorts of make-up. Anything from basic looks to gore . She's enjoying life, her job, and friends.

roleplay sample.

Olivia’s eyes kept flashing to whoever was speaking at the moment as she leaned her back up against the bar to get comfortable. Of course there were things she wanted to comment on, but she thought it would be better to wait until everyone said there peace. Having her eyes land on Quinn she gave a small apologetic shrug as he’s became a dark people as he became angry at her for reminding they could leave the Resistance. Good. That was the reaction she was suspecting from everyone. She only wanted to say it so they knew and that way it wouldn't have to be brought up ever again. They had by far more important things to take care of at tonight’s meeting.

She couldn’t keep her eyebrows from furrowing together in worry as most of them quickly shut down Trai’s thought of been more peaceful at protest and what not. Olivia knew that DEATH and the Government had taken something very precious from every single person that was currently in the club, the whole town really. Whether it was family, their freedom, their peace of mind... They were driven by the anger and frustration they felt. Of course they didn’t want to be peacefully, but she had to look at it differently than them. They weren’t always going to agree with each other and that was perfectly fine! Being a good team and partners were about having disagreements and learning to overcome them with a compromise…

Hearing about a possible antidote she immediately wanted to talk about it, but she had to address this matter first and foremost.

“I must agree with Trai on the matter of being more peaceful.” She informed them as she spoke up for the first time in awhile. Who would want to be peaceful toward the ones that turned your life upside down? Olivia normally wouldn’t have agreed, but she had her reasons. She was looking at the BIG picture in the long run… “You all want WAR as do I, but what is war without strategy? Sometimes the strongest opponents must look weak! If we can start making the Government think that we’re beginning to submit to their will then they’re bound to eventually let their guard down! Do you guys really think being more aggressive would really get us anywhere? It might for a week, but in reality all it’s going to do is limit what little freedom we still have! The truth of the matter is that there are more of THEM compared to us, and if they felt like we’re too hard to control then they could just get help outside of this city if needed and then we would really be out numbered! It would just make it harder for us in the end... They would become even more violent themselves and you think the checks they do on the slums are bad now? Imagine it 24/7 all because we wanted to show them that we’re serious… We would never be let out to see the light of day. How would the Resistance have meetings in that case?” Olivia didn’t mean to sound harsh, but she wanted to be realistic. She wanted them to see that they needed to plan ahead and think things over before going out with their guns blazing. She only hoped that her reasoning had made sense to them…

Taking a moment to collect her thoughts she let out a small barely unnoticeable sigh.

“As for the weapons, I think that’s a great idea. If we don’t have our abilities for self-defense then we should have something…” Slowly she looked over at Scout and Elijah before giving a nod of her head. “If you’re willing to test the gas out to see if it works on you two, then it would be greatly appreciated.”


As for the antidote… She wanted to believe it, but she couldn’t without confirmation. “If there truly is an antidote that counteracts the injection… Any time you’re around any DEATH agents listen carefully until we can think of something else. One of those idiots is bound to make a slip up when they’re with their buddies if it’s true.”
