So, after talking to Ms. Nu, I have decided to adopt our dear Pip Dashwood-Dune. I took her profile off the wiki and I did add some things. The parts I added are in red so you can see sort of my take on the character.
Character Name: Philippa Dania Dashwood-Dune
Nickname: Pip or Pippa or Pippi (only Alexia uses the last)
Age: 16
Birthday: May 13th
Place of birth: Los Angeles
School: Gould
Grade: Junior
Appearance: Pip is a petite girl with enough curves to balance her out. She has stunning grey green eyes, a cute button nose and full lips she loves to pout with. Her sense of style is her own. If she doesn't have anything to match a cute top, she would make her own skirt or pants to go with it. However, she does always make sure to stay on trend, in fact with her sense of style and sometimes making her own things, she's sometimes even ahead of trend, copying styles from the runways of Paris that haven't hit the US yet. Her hair is usually worn down and every now and then, she would be so inclined to put a clip through it. She loves playing dress up because she believes that her personality shines through what she wears. The more fabulous she looks, the more fabulous she feels.
This is possible because everything she wears will always fall on her perfectly. She has never had a bad fashion or hair day and even if she does, she knows exactly what to do to fix it. Of course a lot of this has to do with the fact that she does spend a lot of time on her appearance and will wake up extra early just to make sure everyone goes right and looks perfect before leaving the house.
Personality: Pip is a highly motivated girl with a flair for fashion. She can be really nice and sweet when she wants to be but kindness to her is on her own terms and not anybody else's. She doesn't take crap from other people and if someone doesn't like her, she couldn't care less. So long as you respect her, she will give you the same respect. She's a bit of an airhead and she's pretty naive at times but again, she won't take crap from other people. Though she's more friendly with her schoolmates and friends, she doesn't bring forth the same emotions to her twin sister. She's not exactly mean, rather she's indifferent towards the girl who more or less looked like her.
Pip tends to be very blase about things that aren't important to her. With a roll of the eyes she'll dismiss things that she doesn't care about or doesn't like as if it wouldn't matter to anyone. She's very critical of people as well, expecting everyone to be their best. She'll put people down without batting an eyelash, however she doesn't see this behavior as mean or snobby because she really thinks that her comments are helpful. She tends to have a Pip knows best attitude, especially when dealing with her twin sister, Lexie, who Pip really cannot relate to at all.
Town Area: Beverly Hills
Job: None
Transportation: Lime green 2008 VW Bug (she is supposed to share with Lexi but they came to an understand that Lexi should just take the bus)
Family Background and History: Father: Lionel Dune - 40
Mother: Elena Dashwood - 39
Sister: Alexia Danica - 16
Sister: Raisa - 13
Lionel and Elena eloped right after high school against their parents wishes but despite their family's diverse background; Elena being of old money bloodline and Lionel from five generations of carpenters, they worked out against all odds. Lionel set up his own carpenter business at the young age of 21 which now has branches all over Miami. Elena decided to pursue her childhood dream of becoming a baker and has her own bakery "Sinfully Delightful" which is in the process of branching out.
They had their first children when Elena was 22 and for awhile, things got a little complicated. Elena almost lost her shop to a fire and Lionel almost lost ownership of his company because one of his employees pressed charges on him for improper conduct. In the end, Lionel managed to scrape through the charges and Elena, although a little rattled by the whole incident, picked herself up and managed to open a new store with the help of some of the locals who sympathized with the young mother.
After the birth of their twins, things ran smoothly and three years later, their third daughter was born.
The twins were as different as night and day, both their parents saw that the moment they were born. As they grew up, they never saw eye to eye and they always wanted different things. And the moment they hit high school, they were basically invisible to each other. There were only a handful of people who knew they were sisters but the ones that don't are surprised when they find out that they were twins.

Attendance Length: 2 1/2 years
After School Activities: cheerleading
Likes: fashion, mani/pedis, herself, makeup, shopping, hanging out with friends, parties, cute boys, dancing, cocktails, getting her way
Dislikes: people who have no taste, losers, how her sister acts most of the time, having to deal with things that she doesn't like, chipped nail polish, disheveled clothes, when people aren't as impressed with her as she thinks they should be, Lexie's friends, second hand clothing--she really doesn't get the point

Sample Post:
Pip stared at her appearance in the full length mirror, striking different poses so she could see how she looked from all angles. Her long brown hair was down, falling just so passed her shoulders and today she wore a sheer, lacy dolman sleeved tops over top of a fitted tank and a pair of dark wash skinny jeans. Her shoes were simple metallic ballet flats as she really didn't see the point of wearing heels to school to often... She liked to save her dressing up for more special occasions that boring old school.
Walking into the bathroom to grab her lip gloss, which was the finishing touch of her look, she glanced over her twin who was staring at her own reflection in the mirror. However, Pip could only assume that the girl wasn't checking over her look as Pip had been. After all, if Lexie spent any time on her appearance, perhaps she'd actually look good for a change instead of how she usually looked which Pip considered to be sloppy.
Deciding to be charitable and give a helping hand to the girl who seriously wouldn't know fashion if it quite literally hit her on the head, Pip pulled off the necklace she was wearing and placed it over her sister's head. "See, that's better already," she said. "Little Lexi...you know if you actually put some effort in, you could be pretty, but...I just don't get it," she said shaking her head, "how one person could go so wrong....what is with that shirt anyway?" Pip asked before quickly deciding she was bored, since of course Lexie would never take her advice. She took the necklace back and put it back on, "You know...this looks better on me," she said as she flipped her hair back behind her shoulder and grabbed her lip gloss before turning on her heel and walking away.
