Trevor Felix Diaz

Just Trevor
Age:
Fourteen

Male

♦ In The Mirror ♦

Overall Appearance:
Trevor has a dark complexion, being that he comes from a Hispanic heritage. His eyes are a dazzling green, they're a bit piercing and when he's sad they seem to overflow. His eyes are the main holder of his emotions. Sad, angry, pleased, his eyes show what he is feeling. Trevor's hair is a very dark brown, it's also very curly and tends to get into his eyes. He's a very thin boy, as he hasn't had much of a place to get food throughout his entire life. His wrists show scars, from where he's self-harmed in extremely dark times. He has a dark air around him, and he looks fragile, as if with one word he'll snap.

Thin and average height

Nope

♦ Diggin' A Little Deeper ♦

Personality:
Trevor doesn't give up easily. He also doesn't take anything lightly. Trevor cares about people, as well. He likes to take care of people. Trevor doesn't like seeing people hurt, he fights for what he wants and barely ever gives in. He's depressed as well, any mention of his sister or anything about his past and he'll shut down and go back to his state of not wanting to exist.
History:
Trevor didn't have it easy before he came to this orphanage, that's for sure. He had abusive parents, and a little sister to protect. He ran away when he was only six years old. He and his little sister, only four, lived on the streets. It was cool with him. He liked it, he enjoyed taking care of someone. It was like that for years, until his little sister was killed by some thug on the streets. Several cops found him collapsed over her body, crying. He refused to even get up, to move. They had to drag him off of her body and away from the crime scene, when asked for a statement he refused to give one. He shut down for a solid year, not talking to anyone. After a while he came back, but he was quite sucidal, he did talk to people however. After spending around six months in a mental hospital they sent him to the orphanage.

Percy
Age:
Thirteen
Gender:
Male

Nope

♦ In The Mirror ♦

Hair:
Medium length, brown
Eyes:
Green
Build:
Average height, skinny
Body Modifications?:

Anything Else?:
Nope

♦ Diggin' A Little Deeper ♦

Personilaty:
Percy carries a kind of mysterious air around him, he's not a very open person. He's a bit quiet some times. He doesn't like to talk about his family besides sometimes saying things like "oh my sister did that" or "my brother liked that too". He's secretive.
History:
Percy was the very middle child of nine kids. There were four kids older than him and four kids younger than him. He loved his brothers and sisters with all his heart. His parents had to work several jobs each to afford to feed all the kids they had to, because of this the kids often had to take care of themselves. They shared rooms because they lived in a small house, and were basically each other's parents. They sometimes went without meals. Then, a few months ago, a tragic accident took place. Neither parent lived. No relatives would take in any of the distressed kids, so they were shipped off to seperate foster homes, besides the littlest sister being with the oldest kid. Percy spent some time in a foster home with some decent kids, started to act out and got shipped here.
Other:
He keeps several pictures of his siblings and parents with him.

♦ Nice To Meet You ♦

Isabella Courtney Sway

Bella
Age:
Five

Female

No.

Bella has that happiness glow surrounding her wherever she goes. She seems to radiant joy. Her baby blue eyes always seem to be sparkling, even when she's crying. Her blonde hair is typically pulled up in a pink ribbon, away from her face. She is short(as most children are), and very skinny.

Baby blue

♦ Diggin' A Little Deeper ♦

Personilaty:
Bella is pretty much the definition of a little girl. She's sweet and innocent, and loving. She acts like she's seen nothing wrong in the world and smiles all the time. Like a typical child, she can have temper tantrums when she doesn't get her way but most of the time she is pretty calm. She loves to laugh and mess around, and just have fun in general.
History:
For five short years of her, Bella had the best life anyone could think of. Her family was fairly rich so they lived in a big house. She had an older brother who would do anything for her, a lab that loved to sleep with her, and two parents that loved her to death. Then her world filled with rainbows and unicorns came crashing down when a man came to kill her family. She hid behind the couch and watched as her parents were brutally murdered in front of her. When her brother came home from his friend's house, he saw his little sister crying in the corner of the house. With no other family to speak of, they were sent off to different foster homes after their parent's trial. This is where Bella was sent.
Other:
Nope.

katherine slowly rolled over, in bed, waking up. it was in the
middle of her third month being in the foster home, and she didn't like it, not
one bit. she didn't have any of her pets around her, none of her friends were
there for her to hang out with and spend time with, and most of all, she didn't
have her parents.

kat missed her parents, and was quite angry at the woman who called child
services and said that her parents weren't abusing her. her parents never
touched her or her brother, so she didn't understand why she was there.
maybe her parents did yell a little too often, and maybe they did call her
names when she didn't do things right, but katherine believed that was only
to make her a better person. they weren't trying to harm her in any way.

it didn't matter to her anyway, as she was quite sure that they'd come along
and get her and her brother soon, everything would be resolved, and they'd
go back to being the happy family they were.

sighing, katherine slowly got out of her bed, rubbing her eyes as she padded
to the front of the house, entering the kitchen. going into the pantry, she
grabbed a random box of cereal, then proceeded to receive a clean bowl
and spoon from the dishwasher and a gallon of milk from the fridge.

payton goryunov
╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
payton groaned, sitting straight up in his bed. he had been up all
night, unable to sleep. he wasn't fond of the idea of sharing a room with a
person he barely knew, he didn't like that his parents weren't with him, and he
certainly did not like the idea of being in foster care. he had been here for a
couple of months already, but he hated it. it wasn't the people he wasn't fond
of, as majority of them were nice. it was the fact that when he went back
home -which, he knew was definitely going to happen- his peers would look
at him as the kid who went to foster care and had abusive parents. payton
didn't want that.

payton was stressed out, to say the least. he didn't know what to do, and
even though this place had become his home for over the past few months, he
was just looking forward to the day he and his sister left. groaning, he quietly
rolled out of bed, changing out of his pajamas and into his day clothes, then
proceeded to the bathroom to get ready for the day.

going back into his room, payton grabbed the soccer ball his parents had given
him for his birthday the past year. if was worn and a little faded, but payton
didn't care. tucking it under his arm, payton walked outdoors (not before
stopping in the kitchen to say "hello" to his sister first) and to the backyard,
kicking the ball around.

fable ramone
╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
fable woke up with a start. she was happy, per usual. there was a place out
in town that she wanted to explore with one or more of the other kids, as
she felt she didn't know them as well as she should. they were foster siblings,
after all, and they needed to know a little bit about them (well, in fay's case,
a lot about them).

due to the fact that she had lived at this foster home majority of her short life,
fable didn't think anything was wrong or weird about it. in fact, she believed
that her foster parents were her actual parents, no matter how many times
they told her they weren't. the little girl found it strange that children around
her age and older came and went from the foster home, some she was happy
of their departure, others not. fay didn't understand why the children who
arrived here always had something... off about them. they were either too
quiet and reserved, or off the chain and angry. she didn't like it at first and
complained, but after realizing that there was nothing she could do to change
it, fable started to act friendly towards the other kids, telling them about places
to go around town and -to a select few- her super secret hiding spots.

jumping out of bed, fable ran over to isabella's side of the room, hopping
on her bed. "c'mon, wake up, bella, get up! it's morning time," she yelled,
shaking the other girl whom she had not known long.

Trevor slept on the couch most days, due to the fact that one of his roommates, Percy, yelled in his sleep. He didn't know how the little boy-crap what was his name- Payton dealt with it. Trevor awoke with a jolt, his eyes wide open. He let out a deep sigh and rolled off of the couch to stand up on the floor. He was covered in sweat, majority of his dreams were nightmares and he felt like he was actually there throughout most of the dream. He ran a hand through his thick hair and started into the kitchen.

He saw that Katherine was already in there. He let out another sigh and opened up the fridge to look for something to drink. He wasn't wearing any sleeves so the bandages on his wrists were in plain sight. He kept telling himself he was going to take them off but he never got around to it. He shut the fridge and grabbed a glass, filling it up with water at the tap and sitting up on the counter. He bit down in his lip, "Good morning," he said to her with a small smile.

✖ ✖ ✖

Percy didn't like mornings, so when he did wake up it was a very upsetting thing for him. He growled, rolling off the bed. He walked over to the dresser and changed into jeans and a t shirt. He saw that neither of his roommates were there anymore, and he wasn't even surprised. He always slept in later than pretty much everyone. He started down the stairs, heading outside. He had spent majority of his his childhood outdoors so being cramped in a house all the time was definitely not his forte.

He saw Payton was kicking a soccer ball around and he let out a sigh. He thought he would get to be alone but he didn't mind Payton too much. The younger boy and his sister seemed to be new to the foster system, just like he was. He could feel the tension between them, and he could sense that the two of them really didn't want to be there. He couldn't blame them, he didn't want to be there either.

✖ ✖ ✖

Isabella giggled as Fable hopped on her bed and shook her, waking her up. She yawned, rubbing her eyes before giving a smile to the girl. "Good morning Fable!" She said, giving another giggle as she pushed herself up to sit next to the older girl. She gave a wide smile, her eyes shining. Her hair was kind of wild, but she didn't seem to notice as she stood up. "How are you? What're you doing today?"

She grabbed a brush from the top of the dresser and ran it through her hair as she waited for an answer. Caleb came into her mind, and her smile kind of dropped for a second. She shook her head and smiled again, the lady who had dropped her off at the house had said she would be able to see Caleb again. She just had to wait patiently until then.

katherine watched as a boy walked into the kitchen. she smiled at him and
continued to eat her small breakfast. kat couldn't help but look down at
the bandages on the boy's wrists. she wanted to know what they were. of
course, she had a slight assumption of what was hidden under the bandages, but
she remained hopeful that it was anything but what she thought it was.

"good morning," katherine simply and quietly replied to the boy. even though
she had been at the foster home for a while, she didn't really know who he was.
katherine had tried to keep quiet during her first month and a half here, only
talking to her brother as she figured knowing the others wouldn't mean anything,
as her parents would be back soon enough. then, realizing that her brother was
getting a tiny bit annoyed at her clingy-ness, she decided to hang out with the
girls a little bit. due to them being younger than her, however, she found it
rather difficult to get along with them, resorting back to her reserved personality.
she had never really spoken to any of the boys until now.

"um, how did you sleep? was it well?" she then asked the boy, trevor, she
believed. katherine had never been the best at starting conversations with people
due to her shy nature, and usually left it up to her brother to create friends
for her. she knew that she wasn't going to be able to depend on her brother
forever, so she decided that she'd try and spark up a conversation with this
boy. it was all confusing to her and made her extremely nervous, but katherine
reckoned that her brother would be happy for her after she told him that she
willingly started a conversation with someone.

payton goryunov
╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
payton practiced his pre-soccer game routine like he did everyday. he couldn't
wait until he could get back onto the soccer field and back with his team. he
missed soccer, a whole awful lot. he sighed, imagining a goal and shooting
the ball towards it, grinning when he made it in.

dribbling the ball back and forth, payton noticed someone else come outside.
looking up, he spotted percy and smiled at him. payton was unsure about the
boy. when he first met him, payton believed that the boy was just like his sister,
just a little more apprehensive towards him. he had tried to get percy to
interact with him many times, but after a while he realized that the boy
just simply wanted to be left alone. many times, he would wake up to the boy's
yelling (and sometimes, would have thoughts about smothering him with a pillow
so he could get some decent sleep) but he never said anything about it. he wanted
to ask the boy if he was okay, but payton felt as if he already knew the answer to
that.

"hey, wanna come over and practice with me?" payton asked the older boy,
stopping the ball under his foot. he hoped that the boy would say yes, simply
because he was tired of playing alone and he wanted to know the other boy better.
he wasn't really friends with anyone here, which was weird for him. he made friends
everywhere he went. he figured that maybe everyone else just needed some
time to warm up to him and his sister, so he gave them all space.

fable ramone
╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
fable grinned from ear to ear when isabella woke up quickly. she was glad that she
didn't have to put much effort into waking up the younger girl today. she sat
back on her knees and watched as the girl brushed her hair, thinking off all the
things she had planned for today. "well, today, i was thinking
that we could go out and explore. i wanna go out in town and go to the stores
and stuff. oh! i also saved up my allowance so we can buy ice cream!"
she exclaimed, giddy. fay was really looking forward to this day that she had
planned out, even though she didn't even know if half of the stuff she wanted
to do was going to happen.

fable hadn't noticed the drop in isabella's smile as she had already hopped off of
the bed and was going through her dresser drawers. "what do you
think i should wear today? a dress or no?" she asked the younger girl, tilting
her head to the side. she wasn't really sure of what she was going to wear
for the day. she hadn't planned anything out that far. she wasn't even sure that
isabella wanted to go anywhere, but fable was going to spend time with the younger
child, regardless of what she said.
╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════╝

[fly away.]

Trevor gave a soft smile to the girl as she greeted him back. He let out a sigh, dropping off of the counter and moving around the kitchen. Maybe he could make breakfast for everyone. He was the oldest child in the house so he felt this weight on his shoulders to act as the honorary big brother. He didn't even like kids. He bit down on his lip as he moved back to the fridge and grabbed out a carton of eggs and a thing of bacon.

He turned towards her again when he heard her speak. "Um, as well as usual. The couch hurts," he let out a chuckle, putting a pan onto the stove and cracking some eggs into a bowl. "How'd you sleep?" He asked, pouring the eggs onto the pan, mixing them with a spatula. "Um, do you like eggs and bacon?" He second guessed himself, wondering if he was the only person who would eat.

✖ ✖ ✖

Percy was taken aback when the younger boy asked Percy to play with him, and he tried his best to keep calm. He knew how to play soccer, so there was nothing to worry about. He wasn't going to fall on his face or anything, at least he hoped. He swallowed down his fear to keep a stutter out of his answer as he smiled and said, "Sure!" He ran a hand through his dark hair as he walked over to Payton.

He hadn't talked to Payton much since coming, both his sister and him were kind of reserved and just stuck to themselves. Or maybe it was because Percy was a pretty reserved person himself. Shy and shy didn't really go well together. He pushed his courage ahead so he could get s sentence out without a stutter. "Did you used to play for your school?" He wanted to try to make friends with these kids, even if he wasn't going to be here much longer. Or that's what he hoped.

✖ ✖ ✖

Bella's smile got really wide at the mention of ice cream, she clapped her hands. "Yay! Do you think the older kids will take us?" She asked, still smiling at Fable. They couldn't very well go by themselves, could they? "I love ice cream!" She didn't have money though, her family was rich but she was a little girl and hadn't yet received the inheritance that her parent's had set up for her. Little did she know she would be getting it when she turned sixteen, which would be great, but it didn't help much in the now.

"Ooh! Wear a dress and I'll wear a dress and we can match!" She said, her smile growing even wider. She opened up the dresser drawers, rummaging through them for a dress. She pulled out a purple polka-dotted on and held it up to her frame with a smile. She laid the dress on the bed, "See! We'll look like sisters!"

[elizabethhher]

katherine bailey goryunov
╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
katherine observed the boy, leaning against the counter. she frowned upon
hearing that he slept on the couch, not understanding why. "why do you sleep
on the couch if it hurts you?" she asked him, curious. after asking, however
she felt as if it was a dumb question as her brother had complained to her a few
times about the other boy who would scream at night. she'd heard it once
before herself, when she had first arrived and couldn't sleep. the sound bothered
her, and kept her awake for many nights afterwards. "i slept well, i suppose." kat
answered, shrugging her shoulders. she would much rather be in her home,
sleeping on her own, comfortable mattress instead of some used one, but she
knew that complaining would get her no where.

when asked if she would like something more to eat, katherine bit her lip, looking
down at the finished bowl of cereal she had in her hands. she wanted nothing more
than to have what trevor had offered her, but she remembered that at home, her
mother wouldn't allow her to eat a whole lot of food, telling katherine that she was
already overweight and needed to slim down. "no, no thank you," kat finally
replied, looking over at him with a smile.
╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════╝

payton goryunov
╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
payton was overjoyed upon hearing the boy's answer, glad he would have
someone to practice with. he juggled the ball as the older boy came over,
keeping his eye on the ball as he listened to the boy's question. he frowned a bit
when the boy asked if he used to play, not liking how it was in past tense. "yeah, i
play for my school and in the summer i play for a rec team. at first i didn't really
like the sport, but my da' said that to be a man i had to play this sport and be the
best at it. i'm not the best yet, but i'm getting there," payton cheerfully told
the boy.

"do you play?" payton asked him, stopping the ball and holding it in his hands.
he sized percy up,trying to gauge if the boy was a novice or if he knew his way
around the field. by looking at the boy, payton could tell off the bat that he
lacked confidence and was a bit unsure of himself. he didn't know if that was
because the boy didn't know how to play soccer, or if he was just shy meeting
strangers. payton decided not to say anything about it as he didn't want to come
across as rude.
╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════╝

fable ramone
╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
"of course they'll take us!" fable exclaimed, no doubt in her mind that the older kids
would take them out. she figured that they wouldn't want to be cramped inside
this house, either. she wasn't exactly sure if they were allowed to leave the house
in the first place, but she was going to be leaving regardless. plus, she really wanted
her ice cream, and would do just about anything for it at this point. "ice cream
is the best thing ever. what's your favorite flavor? mine is rocky road." fable stated
excitedly.

fay smiled, rummaging through her drawers for a dress similar to bella's. due to
her drawers being untidy, it took fable a while to find her white dress with blue
polka dots, which had been buried at the bottom. she took the dress out, shoving
the rest of her clothes back into the drawer, promising herself that she'd fold
them later. "how about i wear this one?" she asked the younger girl,
eager to hear her opinion.
╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════╝

[fly away.]

Trevor chuckled a little bit, shrugging his shoulders. "One of my roommates is loud," he said, chewing on his lip. "I think his name is Percy, it's the quiet one." then he laughed again, "Which is ironic." He nodded when she said she slept well, moving his eggs about the pan. He wasn't sure how to keep up a conversation, not many people talked to him at the hospital and before that he was too dark for anyone to talk to. Just in general he wasn't a very approachable person.

When she said she didn't want anything to eat he got worried that no one would want to eat what he was making. Oh well, at least he would get some food out of it. He tried to think of something to talk about as he continued to move the eggs around the pan. "So are you excited to start school here?"

✖ ✖ ✖

Percy nodded as he listened to the younger boy talk about his time playing the sport. "Maybe you can join the team at the school here, if you want." He smiled at him, trying to make the younger boy feel better. The siblings didn't seem to accept that they would be staying here very long. Maybe they wouldn't, maybe they would go back to whatever parents they had. Hey, if they had parents alive they may as well be with them.

"Um yeah I play. Not for like a school or anything because I was h-homeschooled but my siblings and I used to play." He pushed a hand through his hair as he watched the boy with the ball. The younger kind seemed to be better than he was, which wasn't surprising because Percy wasn't committed to just soccer. He participated in baseball and other sports as well.

✖ ✖ ✖

"Oh! I can call my brother! He'll for sure take us!" She was excited at the possibility of seeing her brother again, but she wasn't sure if she could get ahold of him if she tried. The thought of never seeing him again worried her so she put it out of her mind, the lady had said she would let her see him and she had to trust the lady. "My favorite is chocolate chip cookie dough!" She smiled widely, her eyes alight.

She studied the dress that Fable pulled out and clapped her hands. "Oh it's pretty! I love it!" She smiled even wider as she thought about the two of them matching. She grabbed her dress and turned around to put it on then turned back around, twirling as she did. She giggled a little bit, "We're going to look so cute!"
