Character Name: Addison Paige Graham
Nickname: Addi
Age:16
Birthday: April 23
Place of Birth: Charlotte, NC
Grade: Sophomore
Height: 5'6
Hair Color: Brown
Eye Color: Brown
Detailed Appearance: Addison has never been the hottest girl in school
but not because she wasn't beautiful. She has a more subtle and
natural beauty then most the other girls in school always tend to be.
Her father's dark brown eyes coupled with her mothers beautiful
chestnut brown hair, she stands at a measly 5'5 and 127lbs.
Her clothes aren't the biggest designers although she does keep up
with the trends and she prefers comfortable over fashionista. Her
makeup collection is rather small consisting mainly of foundation,
eyeliner, and shadows in natural colors to help bring out her features
instead of over powering them.
Personality: A good combination of outgoing and a bit of reservation
makes Addison an easy person to get along with. Moving around has
given her the chance to learn to adapt to many different situations
and types of people in different areas of the world and life. As any
typical southern girl she has a charm and like ability that could coax
a smile out of anyone, and make their day just a little bit brighter.
The reserved part of her makes her a bit harder to figure out but once you do she is a fiercely loyal friend til the end and if you cross her you can count on never getting back in.
Relationships are something she has never really saw herself having. She loves having people around, the companionship, but tends to keep them at a distance because of the struggles she saw her parents go through when her father was gone, realizing it would only make leaving harder. In turn she views herself sometimes as undesirable. She knows she is pretty, she has on more then one occasion been told so but it cannot change the rest of her circumstances and life.
Town Area: Santa Monica
Transportation: Pontiac G6
Family Background: Patrick -41 and a Marine , Emily - 38 and a real estate agent
History: Addison's parents met while her father Patrick was in his
second year of the Marine's stationed at Camp Lejune. Her mother Emily
was living in Charlotte at the time going to college and living with
her parents. When she finally graduated he took her to the coast and
asked her to marry him.
Just before his first deployment they found out they were going to
have a baby girl. Unfortunately as for much of her life he would not
be around to see her born. By the time she was a year old he was
finally released from his duty and returned home to find a little girl
he had not had a chance to know or see as a baby already growing
quickly before his eyes.
Luckily enough the family was able to stay around in North Carolina
while Patrick deployed and traveled for a number of years before
getting orders to Hawaii at 8 years old, Britain when Addison was 12,
and Texas when she was 14. Most recently when she turned 16 they
bought a home in Santa Monica when Patrick changed his status from
active duty to guard.

Writing Sample:
Addison laid her book bag down on the end of her bed as she shoved the
last binder inside of it. To her it was just another day, another new
school, another place she would eventually have to leave. But as every
other place she had been she knew she would have to make the best of
it. The problem wasn't so much being new, it was the fact that when
she had finally gotten comfortable where she was, made friends, and
started liking the way her life was going she would have to say
goodbye again.
Her car waited for her as she exited the house, the one constant in
her life at the moment, a gift from her parents on her 16th birthday.
Never without a catch though; extra chores, special favor's and other
household duties. The new car smell would still be pungent if it
wasn't for the sandal shaped strawberry lemonade freshener she had
hanging from her rear view mirror.
Pulling into the school parking lot Addison looked around at the
different students she saw making their way into the buildings. She
had heard a lot about the different tragedies in the area recently and
hoped that they wouldn't find their way to her in her new home. As she
entered the school she realized first hand how the merging of the two
area high schools made the halls difficult to travel. The close
quarters made the air muggy and in most places stained with the
different flavors and aroma's of teenage smells. Perfumes, deodorant,
and in many cases BO causing her to plug her nose as she finally
ducked into the main office to obtain her new class schedule.
