`Appearance !
Let's start at the top and work our way down, shall we? Virginia always seems to slip past the short jokes, standing at five feet and three inches. From a distance, she looks a normal height. Even when you are just hanging around her, her height never makes you think. The second you actually think about it, however, everyone notices. Make her stand back to back to most anyone and people will go "wow, you are short!" Anyway, her hair is naturally a dirty brown that can't seem to make up what color it is. Virginia has found blond hairs, brown hairs, and red hairs in her head of hair. That combination does make for a very pretty color but sometimes you won't even get to see it that natural. Virginia usually has some kind of dye in it, whether it is just highlights or a changing her hair to a completely color. She has gone blonder, redder, browner, anything that is still relatively normal. Always changed to compliment her skin. Which is usually clear and relatively pale, with some freckles if she has been out in the sun. Her eyes are a plain brown, something that she isn't really fond of. Although she doesn't like them, she does get compliments on being a perfect dark chocolate brown. Virginia thinks they are actually the color of poop. Her nose and mouth are compact and small, making Virginia look just a tad bit younger than she has always been. At this age, it hasn't really mattered to her much but she knows that once she gets older, people will be still thinking she is in college.
Virginia has always been petite. Having a fast metabolism comes in handy for an actress who has to watch her weight. She isn't buff at all, but still looks sturdy. Not like some girls that you feel you could breath on and break. As for the chest department, Virginia is lacking. She has boobs, of course, but most girls with that size would just complain about how flat they are. Virginia finds it a convenience. Virginia has pretty good legs, toned and sturdy from years of yoga. Not overly bulging though, that is just gross. She also loves her tiny feet, only having to wear size seven shoes. They aren't gross either, like some people's, all her toes are straight and the right length. She has one small tattoo on her right foot. I don't need to tell you what it is of, just ask her and she will show you. So what does Virginia wear normally? Well, it changes! She does like fashion like most every girl and tends to keep up with the style. She is, for the most part, comfortable with her body so will wear anything from sweatpants to mini-skirts, it just depends on her mood.

Best Feature:
"I really like my neck. I know, it sounds weird. I just like how my collar bones stick out just a little at the top of my chest. No, I'm not anorexic or anything, I have just always been like that. I don't know, I think it looks elegant. I do like my hands a lot too...
Worst Feature:
"My butt. Or shall we say LACK of one! People always try and convince me that 'oh, its small and cute'. It's not. Because I don't have one. Except sometimes. In some apparel, it's there but not in a good way. I don't know, it is either non-existence or calling for attention from the world...it sucks. [/size]
`Personality !
ACTRESS - This is probably the best way to describe Virginia. She isn't just studying theatre as a major, this is her life. She is one of those theatre geeks that everyone loves to hate. The ones that are way too loud in public, randomly start singing, and are always dramatic about everything. Virginia does all of those things. She is very outgoing and really doesn't mind talking to people that she doesn't know. It is a good way to make friends easily and that Virginia does. Shes likes to really talk to people about things and have conversations with them. She doesn't consider going to the movie theatre 'hanging out' unless everyone goes out for coffee and discusses the movie afterward. She doesn't care what strangers think about her so she doesn't really show restraint in public. If she wants to sing, she is going to sing. If she wants to jump around and yell, that is what she will do. Being an actress does have its downside, however. Not only does Virginia act up on stage, she does it in her everyday life. She usually just acts her way out of her problems, never being sad in front of anyone or showing her true emotions. She also tends to lie about things just because she can get away with it.
ROMANTIC - This is one of the sides of Virginia that will confuse you to no end. Even she doesn't know how her heart works most of the time. She is definitely a hopeless romantic, that is a fact. It is probably from all the musicals that she listens to, she has almost got this unreal, fairy-tale understanding of love that really can't relate to real life at all. Virginia thinks up these scenes in her head, usually substituting her latest crush in for the guy part, and comes up with these amazingly, romantic scenes that she wish would happen to her. That is where her troubles lie. Since she spends so much time imagining how good it could be, she sometimes misses out on the normal, little ways that people can show their love to one another and such. If she doesn't find those amazing moments that she makes up in her mind, she convinces herself that it isn't love and gets out. She just wants that picture perfect love, if you know what I mean. Also, Virginia goes through a lot of crushes. She still has that giddy, high school a.d.d that most girls go through. She is starting to tone it down a little, just by not telling as many people that she is crushing. She is supposed to be becoming more responsible and learning not to fall for every guy she sees. That proves extremely difficult for her.
OPINIONATED - For the most part, Virginia is pretty easy-going. She doesn't really like seeing people get in fights or just debating for the sake of debating. There are some issues that are close to her heart though. If you have a different opinion than you on one of those issues, be in for a treat. Don't worry, Virginia won't start a fight with you or call you ignorant. She believes that to have a real discussion with someone and try and change their mind, you can't be rude to them and just scream that they are wrong. Yes, most of the issues that she finds the most important are extremely personal and emotional but she tries extremely hard not to become to upset or anything, knowing that that will drive people away rather than invite them to listen to what she has to say. On her issues, she has big dreams of becoming an activist, knowing that she can't just stand on the side-lines and watch other people fight for what she believes in.

Positive Traits:
GREAT FRIEND -
Virginia doesn't really like spending a lot of alone time, so the fact that she is a good friend comes in handy. She is always willing to hang out, even if you call her at three in the morning. If you are having trouble with anything, Virginia will be the first to help out. She is always loyal to her friends and will stand up for them at all times. There is nothing that she wouldn't do for the people that make her smile.
CONFIDENT-
Virginia doesn't get scared by many things. She trusts her abilities and her talents, and more importantly, trusts that she can make herself better if she works at it. She can talk to people and not be afraid that they might disagree with her. She does have trouble with physical confidence. Such as jumping off things or such like that. But usually she just acts like she is fine with it and makes herself do it. She wants to look spontaneous, doesn't she?
AMBITIOUS -
This girl knows what she wants in life. She has dreams of her being the lead in a Broadway production, her name in lights in Hollywood, all that jazz. Virginia knows that its going to be hard work getting to the top and she is prepared for that. She spends all of her time trying to better herself in ways that will help her in the entertainment world. She never turns down the chance to try out for anything and if she doesn't get in, she works back stage. There is nothing she wouldn't give up to make it as an actress.
Negative Traits:
EXCITABLE -
Virginia reacts to things just a little bit over the top. When most people would be happy and smile, she will scream and jump up and down. Likewise, when most people would be bummed out, she is crying her eyes out. It doesn't matter which way it goes, but Virginia is just very in tune with her emotions. She blames it on being an actress.
IMPATIENT -
If Virginia wants something, she wants it now. It is extremely hard for her to wait for something for a long period of time. She likes instant gratification. That is why she hates gardening. She just hates things that take time. She wants to see growth immediately.
JEALOUS -
Although Virginia doesn't get to the point where she needs revenge or anything on people, she does get very jealous of people easily. She can't brush things off in her head, she will always think about how this person got this part and not her or how this girl got the guy instead of Virginia.
Greatest Ambition:
BECOME A STAR-
Virginia admits it, it's shallow. But she can't help it. She wants nothing more than her name in lights, people surrounding her wanting her autograph. She wants to be someone that people watch doing interviews on t.v. and curse at them for being so rich and famous.
Greatest Fear:
NEVER HAVING A MAGICAL MOVIE ROMANTIC LOVE -
She can't help it. She wants the rain, the kiss, the perfect music in the background. And since that is what she connects to love, it grinds down to this...she doesn't want to be lonely, just like everyone else.

`History !
This is going to shock everyone. Virginia had a pretty normal childhood, strange right? She was born and raised in a suburb right out of Chicago, Illinois with her father, mother and younger brother. Of course, when I say normal childhood, I mean normal for a theatre geek. Ever since Virginia was in the first grade, she had been in every class play and even some community ones. Her life was full of things to do and places to go. Her parents would cart her from play practice to dance class. It was a fast-paced life but it was one that Virginia loved. She had always begged her parents to let her try out for something in the city, hoping to get her name out there a little bit more but they always refused. They weren't going raise some screwed up child star. Virginia was a star in her neighborhood though. Everyone knew that she would usually get one of the lead roles and rightly so. She was probably the hardest worker the theatre department had ever seen. She went through middle school busy as ever with homework, play rehearsal, dance, friends and even begging her parents to let her go on her first ever date.
It was in eighth grade that her normal life took an unexpected turn. Her father had been helping with the play that she was in, directed by her crazy male theatre department head. Things were going great. Her father was finally getting interested in the theatre and she had one of the greatest roles of her school years. She was too busy to even notice that her parent's relationship was starting to strain. Right after closing night of the play's performance, her director showed up at her house and her father exclaimed that they had something to tell all of them. The news that Virginia's father had run off with Mr. Richards spread quickly that next week of school. She managed to brush all of the school drama but it was her family life that changed her the most. Her mother had been devastated, of course, but being a devout christian, wanted their father out of the kids lives completely. She thought that he might 'pass the curse' onto their son. Virginia and her dad had always been close and she couldn't just condemn him. She strayed from her mother and church and decided that her father's happiness was more important than the stupid views of society.
After a long court battle, Virginia convinced the judge to let her father have custody of her, while her younger brother stayed with their mom. There were still visitations going both ways, but never again would they be one happy family again. Virginia went through high school becoming stronger in her acting and in her opinions. Being accepted into Seattle Bay University was her dream come true. She was finally getting out and she promised herself that she would make it in the real world...or die trying.

Best Memory:
THE FIRST TIME -
The first time that Virginia saw a Broadway show will forever be sketched in her brain. It was Ragtime and it was on a vacation that her family had taken to NYC when she was in seventh grade. She remembers sitting at the edge of her seat, fixated on the actors until the curtain call, where tears were running down her face. That was when she knew there was nothing else in the world she wanted to do.
Worst Memory:
THE F WORD -
The worst memory that Virginia has is of her mother. It was right after the divorce and her mother was still furious that Virginia chose to live with her father instead of her. She had been visiting her mother for the weekend and they were having dinner. The discussion turned to their dad and to make a long story short, her mother had thrown a bowl of corn onto the floor, breaking the bowl, yelling "HE'S A FAGGOT!" Virginia has never looked at her mother the same way again.

`Writing Skill !
from the ghost of you.
Blaine awoke to the slow, heavy breathing of the warm body beside him. It was fragile, a petite little thing that could curl up in just the right way so that Blaine could curl around her and act as her blanket. Sleeping, Rachel really did look like an angel. And in fact she was. She was the girl that had brought him back, back from the horrible hole that he had dug himself. She had come into his life with energy and optimism that finally made Blaine smile. Although she had never known the depths of his retreat into darkness, he had shared with her so many things that he had never told anyone. She helped him through and he was grateful for that. He closed his eyes, searching for scent in her long, brown hair. "I love her. I do, I love her." Blaine reassured himself. They hadn't had the best night last night. She had come over to his dorm last night, needing some physical attention from her man. Like so many times before, he had let her down. He just wasn't in the mood. He had used the excuse of having a long day but even when he tried to get in the mood, there was the little encounter with Peter on the internet that kept popping up in his brain. That night, with that conversation resting on his shoulders, he just didn't have the energy to try for her. Like always, however, Rachel had been kind. She set aside her needs for Blaine's, like she had done so many times before. Late at night, when thoughts are hard to get rid of, she would often question him and their relationship.
As Blaine's mind became less fuzzy, he promised her that today he would make up for it. He would be the best boyfriend that any girl could have. He owed her that much, at least. He got out of bed, making sure that she was well covered so that she wouldn't be cold, and started up the coffee maker. There was nothing quite as good as waking up to the smell of fresh coffee, especially for Rachel. He sat at the edge of the bed and became consumed in his thoughts. Thoughts of the past months, the struggle it was to overcome his....disability. But he had done it. He had a girlfriend that loved him, he hadn't even looked at an attractive guy in forever. So what if he still felt empty. It would take time. Time for him to finally feel comfortable in the 'real' him. He felt hands on his bare back and knew that it was time to stop thinking for the morning, time to live. It was weird though. For Blaine, living seemed a chore. It just wore him out so much. Maybe it was just part of the healing process. The morning progressed like it normally did. Coffee in bed, about an hour and a half of talking about nothing and loving it, a little bit of kissing and playing, one shower and the decision to head to the mall.
They walked through the mall, hand in hand, that one stylish couple that everyone else wishes they were. They went into store after store, accumulating bags as they went. Shopping wasn't a really hard or stressful thing for either of them. What was a few hundred bucks anyway? Money had never come between their relationship either. Rachel came from a wealthy family as well and in fact, their fathers had already met and had lunch. They had started doing holidays with each other's families once in a while. The questions had even begun from Blaine's mother about when he was going to pull out a ring for Rachel. Blaine always responded to the question with hesitate laughter. He knew that Rachel and him would probably get married, there was no reason not to. He just wasn't ready yet. There was just something standing in the way. He told himself that he had wanted to make sure he had a successful job first, but deep down he knew it was something else, something much more important.
Blaine felt a tug on his arm. They were standing outside of victoria's secrets and he could tell by the look in her eye that she wanted to go in. It was one of the rules when they went shopping. Blaine couldn't go in that store. He nodded, smiled at her and kissed her forehead, watching her as she turned around and walked energetically into the store. He took his bags and went to sit on one of the benches.
