She had no examples in her life to look up to, and she wanted to be an example for those kids young, watching her with a serious disability. When Darsee wants something, she basically gets it, and not in a spoiled brat sort of way. She does what she has to do to achieve her goal, and let's nothing stand in her way. FRIENDLY - Literally, she will befriend anyone without a second thought. Though she may not consider you a friend, she will be cordial and cheery with you, and is never upfront rude. She's the type of girl who in high school sat with the kid who didn't have too much friends at lunch time, and hung out with everyone - whether it be the drama kids, the artists, or musicians. TRUTHFUL - If you ask Darsee's opinion, be sure you'll be receiving her honest thoughts. Whether they're hurtful or helpful, it's how Darsee feels and her parents taught her never to lie just to make someone feel better. She feels that if you lie about it, sooner or later it'll catch up with you and just make the situation ten times worse than it would have been originally. OPINIONATED - Though she's not the type to go Bible thumping, or force you into a cult, Darsee has a certain way she views the world and feels this is a fantastic quality about her, because it adds to her drive to what she wants. It's not to say she'll jump down your throat if you don't believe what she does, but respectively, her opinion is hers and yours is yours. CARING - Get past all this instinctive behavior, and you'll find Darsee's a particularly caring girl. While she loves to meet people and is friendlier than a playful pup, she only considers a few select people her "best friends", and those are literally her ride or die's. She'd do anything for those guys. You have to be worthy to get into this group, and be able to relate to her childhood on some level. WEAKNESSES CHARMER - Most people would find this a good thing, but it really isn't. Darsee uses people - just in a nice way. If you've got something valuable to her, she'll buddy up to you, get what she wants, and then slowly but eventually let you go if she doesn't see you as a friend or if you have nothing else for her to use. This way she doesn't seem like a user. LOW SELF ESTEEM - While Darsee doesn't come off as someone who's got the highest, cocky self esteem, most would think she's got an average aura about her. However, this is nowhere near the truth. Seeing that she's only had one boyfriend, Ryan, who didn't work, she thinks it's her slow speech, hearing problems, and overall EVERYTHING that is driving people away. Add to the fact she's trying to become a famous actress and it hasn't happened yet while there are four-year-olds more famous than she, she thinks she's just not likeable sometimes. SPEECH DELAYED - Because of her deafness up until age eight, Darsee was developmentally delayed with her speech, and upon first meeting her you may have to ask her to repeat what she said. Her speech has beyond improved since then, but she doesn't speak as well as the "average" person. For her roles, she has to study twice as hard and practice three times as much. RESERVED - Darsee has never been the one to be the in your face type of gal (though in no means is she shy!) Not being able to speak correctly for the first eight years of her lives, and being taunted for it, quieted her. However, now that she's older she thinks a lot. People tend to mistake this as a trait to mistreat or take advantage of her. DEPRESSED - Just last year, Darsee was diagnosed as clinically depressed and though that seems to have changed, she isn't too sure. She was the only witness to her brother's suicide on accident and since then dreaded life. Though the feeling came and went, it lingers inside her and is a dull ache in her body she can't shake. She's strong enough to not be crying about it everyday, but she does pay respect to her brother's grave once a month. SKILLS Acting, acting, acting! No but seriously, acting is her forte. But she's also got her Associate's degree in Early Childhood Education, so she's also good with kids. EXPERIENCE darsee o'conner was born darsella lynn o'conner to a moderately low income family in long beach, california. darsee was born hearing impaired, a huge cost to her whole family. not only could they not afford the corrective ear surgery, but darsee was cost a loss of friends from pre-school to grade school. because of the hearing impairment, her speech was also delayed. because of this they had to move her to a speech class so that when her hearing was fixed, she could be up to speed with the other kids her age. her family pulled together and learned sign language to benefit darsella. danele o'conner is born into the family on the same day that darsella was, but darsee is now three years old. she's in pre-school, with a special aid who's helping the twoddler learn basic sign language (luckily covered by insurance.) age six now, and darsella is just entering elementary school. her kindergarten classmates are thrown off by her inability to hear and speak properly. her teacher, unwilling to try, has her removed and put into special education classes. her parents tried hard to fight it, but had to settle for the decision that she would be mainstreamed in third grade. darsee's seventh birthday, and danele's fourth birthday. her parents have been looking into corrective ear surgery, which the ADA has offered to cover for free as long as it's done in a children's hospital. this is darsee's only birthday present, plus a chocolate bar from her brother. all goes well with darsee's hearing surgery, and like promised, it's covered by the ADA. darsee begins to speak more clearly and is mainstreamed, as agreed, into "normal" classes. at age thirteen, darsee begins to see a change in her brother. he starts rebelling his freshman year of high school and is being kicked out of classes more frequently - with an already bad school, who's really to stop him? just entering high school at the ripe age of fifteen, darsee begins her expedition to know every clique she can in school, and becomes obsessed with the drama department kids. this is her outlet into the performing arts. her freshman year, she is casted as elphaba in the school's rendition of wicked. raeleigh o'conner loses her job as a nurse in the hospital, and the already poor family is cut back again. davin is eighteen, darsee is sixteen, and danele is thirteen. davin picks up a job - as a seller of weed for his friends. he becomes violent, with fights occurring nightly in the o'conner household. darby is consistently drunk, raeleigh is working two jobs as a house keeper and waitress and is barely home. it's up to the two girls - darsee and danele - to keep things right. davin confesses he mistakenly killed his best friend in a fight over a weed setup one day. trying to balance school, home, and her new role as maureen in the school's production of rent, things seem to be out of control at seventeen. coming home from school one day, darsee opens the door to ask her brother a question in his room, and just makes it as he pulls the trigger. things ultimately shift in the o'conner household. darsee only takes on supporting roles up until the senior play of Beauty and the Beast, where she's not only cast as Beauty, but wins the scholarship of a talent scout of UCLA. out of the house and living on her own, darsella's life begins to revolve around school and plays. she's diagnosed as clinically depressed at nineteen, but "surprisingly" it disappears when she drops out of college to pursue her acting career. she gets cast as a supporting role, the sister of the main character lila in an indie film "broken down" which won a sundance award. now with one movie out, darsee actually has an agent and is trying to line up more gigs.

RP SAMPLE Although Karysn loved her job (but of course, because who else likes pulling bodies out of car accidents or treating bloodied victims?), she just as much loved her days off of work. Usually, her shift as an EMT ranged from one day to about three full days on duty. That meant she usually was spending the night at the hospital or staying up keeping watch for her co-workers while they slept, since she rarely slept, and if she did it was only for a couple of hours. It wasn't necessarily a bad life - Karsyn was even allowed to bring her cocker spaniel, Sandy, along with her because she had no one else to watch the dog while she was on duty. However, Karsyn ended up missing her apartment through the times she was scheduled to work grave yard or twenty-four hour shifts. Karsyn usually tried to stay at home with her days off, but there were always exceptions - Sandy or herself had health appointments, she had to go workout, parties, or things just needed to get done. Today Karsyn had labelled "Errand" day, and was doing so efficiently, with her last errand on the list being to go grocery shopping, which is what put here where she was now - the local grocery store that most people in town seemed to always be at. Karsyn wasn't an avid fan of this particular grocery store - for the most part, everything was packaged and had been processed so many times she wasn't even sure how people considered it food still. They had a decent "Organic" section, and their meat was usually fresh, which was good because if they hadn't, Kar probably would have ventured all the way out the city every week just for groceries, which was a waste of gas. With a tiny piece of paper in her hand, karsyn glanced over it, turning her cart expertly in the store as she reached for things on shelves and crossed whatever item that was out on her list. Today was a quiet day in the grocery store, meaning Karsyn didn't need to pay much attention to where she was going with the worry of running someone over. her mind was going through a million thoughts at once, combing over some things. Did Sandy have enough food at home to last her another week? Payday was yesterday. Was the victim from the car crash three days ago stable yet? Running a hand through her curly, black mass of hair, she rounded the corner of an aisle quickly, only for her cart to crash into another; the impact of her abdomen folding over the handle bar of the cart had her let out a pained, "Humph." She gritted her teeth, grabbing her stomach to look up to who exactly she'd had the pleasure of running into. "You should really watch where you put that thing, you know." She said in a hostile manner. To say the least, Kar was not a people person. Unless she knew you well enough, or she deemed you worthy of being friendly with, she usually was sarcastic - but then again, that was because she felt everyone was a moron. Giving a loud, exaggerated sigh, she rammed her cart into the person's, pushing along so that her cart was pushing the other, moving it out of her way. "There, see, all better." She gave an impudent smile, reached next to the person, and grabbed what she needed, tossing it in her cart and crossing it off her list. Karsyn wasn't expecting a reply back. She stuck the pencil in the curve of her ear to hold it there, smirked, and turned behind her to grab something else.
