Pretty pretty please,
If you ever ever feel,
Like your less than,
Less than perfect....

character introduction
name ;; Tatum Eliana Birmingham
age ;; eighteen
gender ;; female
birthday ;; February 14, 1995
Tatum had a pretty normal childhood. She grew up with her mom, dad, and brother. But, when she was 7 her parents got divorce. All she really remembers was being upset, wondering why they weren't gonna be together anymore. But, other than that, she had become accustomed to the constant switching houses and stuff. And she has always been bubbly and outgoing, one to find the good in everybody and step up to the plate in order to make friends. But it was still to hers quality over quantity, she would still rather have a handful of friends then a huge line that she couldn't even remember the names of. She has had a typical school life. Other than the constant bullying though... Ever since she was in 7th grade, this girl, Carly, always bullied her. Found some way to put her down. Whether it was the clothes she was wearing, or the way she had her hair, or if she didn't wear makeup one day. It was always, You're so ugly! You're too fat! You have no friends! Every night, she would cry herself to sleep. Carly was the most popular girl in the school. Everybody wanted to be her. And once she made Hunter her prime target, everybody turned against her... what she ever did to her is lost to Tatum. One day, finally in her sophomore year, she stood up to her. And told her she had no right to pick on her, that she was just trying to be the Queen Bee, and that nobody truly liked her for her, because although she was pretty outside, she wasn't inside. And Carly apparently didn't like that... All of her friends had backed her up, surrounding the two in a circle, and Tatum was trapped... Carly, being the high and mighty girl she was, just said the worst thing she could've. 'Don't you see? Nobody likes you, you're just an ugly ass b*tch who needs to get a life. You. Will. Never. Be. Loved. Got that? Y'know, I don't even know why you are here... alive and then, she punched. her. Smack in the cheek. Tatum has never been the same ever since, always doubting herself, wondering if Carly was right... Even if she was that strong girl on the outside, willing to try anything with that boundless amount of energy she had, she was broken beyond repair inside.

Tatum is an odd girl... She is sort of mixed. But it is safe to say, she is pretty shy. And quiet. Yes, she can be upbeat and really fun, but only once you get to know her. At first, she is very quiet. It's not that she is frightened or anything, she just... Doesn't think that everybody is trustworthy. She's just her own person, not one of those girls who go an act all wild and crazy when you first meet them. She is one of those girls who is tentative and hesitant and has to get to know you before hse can be herself. Once she warms up to you, you better watch out. She is insanely fun and energetic, and you're kind of stuck with her from there on out!
But, as well as shy and then open, she get's hurt easily. No, not like if you bump into her softly she would dramatically fall down, she is not a drama queen. She's more of the kind of person that once you are by her side, she depends on you. She needs you to be there for her. Because, she is fragile. If you hurt her in any way, she finds it near impossible to trust you, or anybody again, and she will close up. Just like hat. Her shy and quiet side will reign, and good luck trying to pry her open again! And oh, by the way? If she falls for you,she falls hard. And hopefully you're there to catch her...
She loves music with a passion. She's amazing at the guitar, piano, drums, and writing music. She has a very wide range of instruments she can play, and she is mostly somebody who plays by ear although she can read music like a pro. And most people recognize that she is also a very talented, and good, singer. Because whenever shes on a walk or just doing something, normally she has a small song or tune slipping from her lips. Most of them, she had written herself. Although you will never forget her eyes, you will never forget her voice either. It's somehow unique and different from the others. No one ever knows if it's the bell like ring to it, or the silky smoothness to it.
Tatum isn't one of those preppy girls or fashionistas is you haven't noticed. She likes sports, and skateboarding and stuff. She has a dirt bike as well that she is in love with.! For a shy girl,, she loves the adrenaline rush. The exhilaration of feeling the wind through her hair, and the earth beneath her. She also has taken up the sport of lacrosse, playing since she was 10. She made varsity freshman year as an attacker. A lot of her focus is on the sport because she hopes to get a scholarship one day.No, she isn't a hard-core tomboy, she likes to look nice, or decent, but she isn't one who spends hours picking out an outfit or doing her hair. She likes to keep it natural.
Okay, Tatum is insanely sweet. She would never hurt a fly, and if she get's mad, she will just try her best and keep her comments to herself. If you hurt her at all, with words, calling her names, she will just shrink back or walk away. She hates arguments, because they're just not her thing. She will try and settle things peacefully. But, her shyer side kicks in, and she finds it hard to speak up for herself. It's just.. not really in her nature to fight back. Yeah, she can defend herself, but it wouldn't be fully confident. She just isn't a confident person. Back to her kind persona, Tatum is just a caring, and gentle person. If you need somebody to talk to, just come talk to her. She gives pretty good advice, and since she is rather quiet, she is an awesome listener. She's just that shoulder to cry on, and help you out whenever you need it.
One last thing to describe Tatum here, is that she is extremely self-conscious. If she see's somebody pretty, or her opposite, unafraid to speak up and outgoing, she feels immediately like a lower person. Suddenly she is just the most imperfect girl in the world. Her skin isn't good enough, she's too fat, her smile is too toothy, her eyes are the ugliest color.... It all just comes to her. All because of her past. She is actually very pretty, but does Hunter see that? Nope! She doesn't go to the extremes of anorexia or anything, she just will.. be extremely quiet, or not even look at anybody. She just feels so ashamed, like asking herself, 'Why can't I be more like them? Nobody is ever going to like me...' And sometimes, it just hurts....
But, to find out who she really is under all of those layers, well, you will just have to find out.
" bad decisions, that's alright... "
love life
ex-boyfriend ;; this guy named Carson...
status ;; single
crush ;; none
sexuality ;; straight
There's nothing really exciting going on in this neck of the woods. Basically, although plenty of guys have liked Tatum, she just doesn't see it. Why would anybody like her, of all people? The one serious boyfriend she had was the whole package. Sweet, not pushy, not clingy, just laid back and chill. And they just were crazy for each other. But, after a good 6 months, Tatum found out the worst through her best friend, Avalon. He had been cheating on her with Carly. Of all people. Honestly, Tatum wasn't sure how she didn't see it coming. She knew it was too good to be true. But, Tatum has never been one to flirt, or be totally desperate. If the right person came along, she'd know. But, she wasn't the sort of girl to go around throwing herself at every hot guy. It's just not in her nature. Well, Tatum's version of a perfect guy is a sweet lad who knows how to listen or be that shoulder to cry on when she needs it. Somebody she can spill her guts to, her deepest darkest secrets, so altogether sensitivity would be nice. And also, a sense of humor is always a plus, but loyalty is a biggie. She doesn't want some player who goes behind her back locking lips with every girl he see's. somebody who is romantic is always nice, like, they have this sense that can tell what the perfect date or thing to say is. And finally, somebody who was sort of like her. A boy who had energy, but definitely knows when to be serious. Although, she couldn't handle them being too similar to her. Having your differences was always good. Always.

There's only so much my life can hold. But currently, it is being over run by lacrosse, One Direction, and the newest addition to my list of Reasons Why I Shouldn't Be Social; YouTube. No, I don't put videos up, but I'm completely and utterly obsessed with a load of them. To name a few; Zoella, Alfie Deyes, Marcus Butler, Jack & Finn Harries, Joe Sugg, Caspar Lee, Jim Chapman, Tanya Burr, Joey Graceffa, Tyler Oakley, and I think I named them all... I'm not too sure. Anyway, so for lacrosse, that takes up most of my time. I'm an attacker, which means I'm on the offensive end the whole time. This past fall season, I had 56 goals, and who knows how many assists. It's my life, to say in the least. Anyway, other hobbies of mine include, piano, surfing, music, the internet, and food. Food. Food. Food. My love. Other artists I like other than One Direction is Hunter Hayes, Ed Sheeran, Cher Lloyd, Ariana Grande, Cassaddee Pope, and Cody Simpson. Well, clearly I don't want to bore you, so I'll leave you with a few gifs of some of those YouTubers. Enjoy. This will probably change a lot because I can't pick one c:
