{"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined." Henry David Thoreau}

Name:: Lia Graves.
NickName:: None.
Age:: Twenty one.
Birthday:: April 1st.
Gender:: Female.
Nationality:: America.
Birth Place:: Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Personality::
Quiet, compassionate, sweet. Lia is that girl who always seems to be in the background quietly observing all that goes on, listening to every conversation, but never joining in herself. She prefers to wait for people to notice and take an interest in her rather than speaking up. It comes from her rather irrational fear of rejection, so she rarely puts herself out where she is noticeable unless the place is a comfortable one. Being modest about her talents comes naturally to her. Despite being quiet, Lia is also extremely compassionate when it comes to people. She is always happy to listen to anyone rant about life without judgement. Seeing both the good and the bad never just one side or the other comes easily. Her innate ability to make people feel comfortable in her company always comes in handy, and lets her get along with just about anyone. With an optimistic outlook on life, she always thinks the best of people and situations.
Conversely, Lia also has a very sarcastic and moody side to her. She has a deep appreciation for stupid puns and witty jokes, and enjoys making them about as much as she enjoys hearing them. It often comes as a surprise to many that she loves to make very facetious comments that sound perfectly serious. She gets a real kick out of confusing people that way. Her moodiness, however, is perhaps different from the typical "moody type" and it shows mainly in the nuances of her expressions and body language. Even in her passivity she feels things very deeply even if it doesn't always show outwardly.
Finally, Lia is a peacemaker. She does her best to avoid conflict as much as possible with other people and is willing to give up her own needs to accommodate others. Self-forgetting by nature, she represses her anger and sadness in order to avoid the discomfort that comes with confrontation. She avoids being drawn into situations that pressure her into making quick decisions. In this area her stubbornness is not always a good thing, but she is good at solving conflict between other people and always tries to help out.

Build:: Tall and slender.
Hight:: 5'9".
Weight:: 115 lbs.
Eyes:: Dark brown.
Hair:: Brownish-blond.
Modifications:: Earrings.
Scars:: A small burn mark on her inner left ankle.
Style:: Classic.
Description::
Everything about Lia is natural. Her features are delicate and feminine but not necessarily soft, and they shine with an inner beauty that simply enhances her outer one. Her two most noticeable features are her eyes and her lips, the first being a deep exotic brown, and the latter being naturally red and full. They are her two favorite features about herself since she feels everything else about her is vaguely average. Her tan is just so-so and her skin isn't quite clear.
Her hair is a pretty dark blond color with a few natural reddish highlights in it. It falls in waves to her lower back and is hardly ever styled or put up. Lia simply prefers to part it on one side and let it do as it wants. The one time she cut her hair short it looked terrible.
Lia is one of the few girls that can achieve a very slender body type without having to try. She finds it most annoying and tends to envy girls who have more shape than her. While she is long legged being about five foot nine, she rather lacks in certain feminine curves.

Family::
Father: James, 48.
Mother: Diana, 45.
Bother: Christopher, 18.
Sister: Michaela, 11.

»Name-Charlie stewarts
" No really my father always wanted a boy..."
She was named Charlie by her father, He had always wanted a boy and he had made a personal promise to name his son after his own father when he died of cancer. Of course Charlies mother approved of the name once she heard the story and of course the reasoning. Charlie doesn't mind the name really it's an almost original name for a female of course others are out there but it's not everyday you meet a girl named Charlie.
»Nickname- none
"I don't have one and please don't hurt yourself trying to think of one"
There isn't really anything that you could call her for an abbreviation of her name but she is open to nicknames if you could think of one although don't be upset if she shoots it down.
»Age- Eighteen
"Last time I checked I was Eighteen"
She is eighteen years of age.
»Gender- Female
"I'm a female"
Obviously she was given the female role in life.



»Hair
"Nothing special"
Her hair is a simple chocolate brown, plain and the same as it had always been since she was a child. She used to care about her hair as if it were the most important thing in the world but as she matured she soon stopped caring what people thought about her hair it's her life, her hair, who cares? She usually wears it down and just let's it do as it pleases which is usually curl at the tips and lay flat. But when she's trying she will curl and straighten her hair into diffrent hairstyles but mostly,she doesn't care and wears it in a bun.

»Eye's
"Simply hazel"
She has hazel eyes that sometimes appear more brown than green or vise versa it just depends on the weather and her mood much like a siamese cat. They're eyes are appear red when angry but usually a icy blue when calm and relaxed, She would be brown when calm and more Green when upset, angry, or simply disturbed. This of course can always be with her or against her, when she's ticked off and trying to hide it her eyes will deceive her and tell the truth behind her 'I'm fine'

»Weight and Height
"Must you ask?"
She is exactly 5,6 since the last time she measured and since her pants haven't been showing her ankles when she pulls them on she assumes she hasn't grown any. She weighs around 110 a small figure which always her to be lithe when she moves around or attempts some kind of air stunt.

»Scars or body modifications-
"Of course"
She has wingstattooed on her back that starts near her shoulder blades and ends at the top of her hip. These she got when she was sixteen, it has always been a dream of her's to fly. She knew of course she would never just sprout wings and fly off, or somhow get powers like superman but a girl can dream can't she? Like most girls she also has her ears pierced but nothing major just one hole in each ear.

»Clothing
"I wear what makes me comfortable"
She mostly prefers comfort over style but only over the weekend, during the week when she goes into public she prefers dresses and skirts and the occasional skinny jeans and graphic tee. But once the weekend comes she's all pajama pants and baggy shirts, she just wants to be comfortable over the weekend.


»Personality-
That's me"

Optimistic is one word to define her cheerfulness, she's usually always in a good mood and can be caught humming or singing to herself all the time. But it's more than just happiness even in the darkest and most difficult problems she manages to see the light or 'see the bright side' of every situation.

Friendly describes her best, she's always been nice to everyone she's ever met or atleast tries to be. She's much diffrent those who try to be 'cool' or 'gangsters' as they call it now she has manners and is very polite while they can be rude and hardly even say a polite thank you. She the kind of person that's always going to be there for you, to support you or stand up for you, or simply be the shoulder to cry on.

Very independent. She likes working alone and enjoys being by herself though being a female the call of companionship does call to her from time to time. She prefers solitude rather than companionship and just likes to be by herself most of the time, the only time she usually converses with others is family or a few close friends she has grown to know. But also because she's independent she doesn't accept help very easily, even when she breaks down in tears she wil simply dismiss you if you want to help you have to ignore her complaints and just do it before she would give in.

Honesty is the best policy. This saying is something she was raised by and stands by to this day she's very honest and a very bad liar because of it. When she lies it just eats away at her until she's forced to spit up the truth, and then feels horrible until her apology is accepted.

Witty definatly witty, it's not her fault she has a wide vocabulary and can use it in a clever or amusing way when the time presents itself. Plus she works in the book store and is quite the bookworm herself so you can count on her to be always teaching you something new with simply talking.

»History
"I don't know you that well and that's personal...but since you asked so nicely I'll tell you"

"Let's start with the day I was born shall we? I was born on April seventeenth a fair sunny day with a warm breeze as my mother had told me. I was born in a simple hospital fairly close to my home, so with a pat on my bottom from the doctor I began my journey into the game known as life. My first few years I don't exactly remember but from photo albums I was a pretty normal child. I grew I developed and of course through the occasional tantrum when my mother told me no to something what I wanted, which was often. You see I didn't live in a neighborhood in fact I came from what most call a trailor park, I admit it my family was poor we had few belongings and luckily owned a used car. I wasn't a stranger to the feeling of hunger, and most nights I didn't eat at all sometimes days until my mother could bring food on the table. I had a hardlife and I'm not afraid to say it, now for the rest of my history.

But I can remember anything past when I was atleast six or seven, from what I remeber I was a bubbly little girl that liked to run off on her own into the woods or into the street. I was scolded and given a spanking everytime but no matter how many paddlings I got you just can't stop a wandering soul. I remember some of my adventures such as when I snuck into my neighbors house and hid in her closet, I still remember her shocked expression when the police came and searched her house and found me in there. She was almost taken to prison until I began laughing so hard and was forced to confess that I had hidden in there on purpose...after that she moved away.

When I turned twelve It was my birthday and I was just a little spolied and could get bratty on that particular day. When I opened a present that I knew was a book I was outraged that they had picked the wrong one, I threw a tantrum and demanded they go get the right version. They soon left to my surprise they usually just calmed me down and would go the next day but instea dthey left right then which made me happy at the moment. So as I waited for they're return I simply sat around watching tv and did nothing, my favorite show was on how could I miss it? So I watched and waited. My parents were killed in a drunk driver accident. They had been on the way home from the store with my book they were only a few blocks away when it happened, I heard the ambulance go by but again I did nothing.

I soon fell asleep and was awoken by the police and taken to my aunts, I was twelve and had lost my parents and I was alone I didn't cry I was simply in shock. I still blame myself for the accident, if I hadn't been so picky over getting the book they would still be here with me. My aunt was an elderly woman and wouldn't be able to take care of me so I was sent to foster care and stayed for only a few weeks before being adopted by Mary and Cameron Burton, they are good to me and I respect them although I don't think I could ever love them."

»Friends and family- none
"Well I don't really like to talk about it..."

Her real mother and fathers name were Randy and Megan Stewart, these two were very in love in fact they were highschool sweethearts that married. But they could never have a child, they tried many times but eventually Charlie was born a little miracal from above to them. Her mother was a slender woman with long brown hair that reached her hip, she had brown eyes and looked alot like Charlie. Her father wasn't a body builder or anything but the had the normal manly build of a slim waist with a muscular biceps, her father had black hair and green eyes. This combined, gave her the black hair from her father and the two colors gave her the hazel eyes that she loves. Her adoptive parents are Mary and Cameron Burton.

»Crush- none
She has had the occasional crush or two on her friends but as of right now she's simply enjoying the 'Bachelor' life that a femal can have. Not having to worry about what her boyfriend/girlfriend could be doing, if thos elate nights while she waits for them if they're out cheating on her. She's had her heart broken anough and isn't really loking for a serious relationship at the moment, but maybe someone out there can change her mind.

»Boyfriend/girlfriend- none
"No.."

»Habits-
"Yeah I'm weird like that"
She has a tendency to drum her hands against any flat surface usually creating a rhythm and just rocking out to her won little beat. She also does talk to herself on the occasion, also when she's reading she tends to twilr her hair along her fingers or when she's just bored. She aslo has a tendacy to zone out and day dream and just completey forget everything you just said to her.

»Fears-
"Yes I'm scared"
One of her biggest fears have to be of the dark, she knows it's childish but she is. She just scent stand how dark it is and how she can't see a thing that's also why she goes to sleep in the afternoon before it gets to dark and wakes in the early morning. She also is deathly afraid of drowning, she just fears the feeling of slowly sinking to the bottom to the dark depths and water filling her lungs taking away all her oxygen.

»Pets-
She has two orange tabby cats named Millie and Tod, these cats have been with her since her parents died. She often finds comfort in her cats and hugs her and yes, talks to them sometimes when she feels down or just plain bored. They are normal size for a cat with a slender build, they both has short fur. Both have bright flame orange fur mixed with a crema orange causing their stripes to appear brighter, they have a flat pink nose and bright green eyes.
