Emily
MAIN
Age: 25
Description: short strawberry blonde/light brown hair, blue-grey eyes
Emily – The sensitive soul. A dreamer, mother, romantic…she is the glue that holds everyone together. Not a leader, but one who shows leadership by working with the others. Not afraid to cry, but not afraid to be happy either.



baby Em
Age: 6
Description: long blonde hair, baby blue eyes



Victoria
Age: 6
Description: medium brown hair, brown eyes
Vicky – The child. The one who never had a chance to grow up and be happy. Truly an innocent soul, untouched by the anger or sadness of the others. Can be shy if she is unfamiliar with you.


Amber
Age: 16
Description: shoulder length brown hair, blue-grey eyes
Amber – The quiet one. Shy, introverted, and generally sad. Does not want to be happy, but tries to be for the sake of the others. Can spend hours, even days, in quiet contemplation away from the others. Has recently found an outlet for her feelings through cooking.



Karen
Age: 18
Description: long blonde hair, blue eyes
Karen – The guardian. The one who bares her sword and shield and tells those who wish the others harm “You shall not pass!” But underneath that is her sensual nature – she’s a flirt because she feels comfortable in her skin.



Michelle
Age: 21
Description: medium length auburn hair, hazel eyes
Michelle – The angry one. Fierce by nature, Michelle is not afraid to fight when she feels threatened. She lashes out with the bitterness that she keeps stored within her. But that ferocity can be turned inward as well, making her stronger and more determined.



Sara
Age: 22
Description: short dark blonde hair, hazel eyes
Sara – The wise one. At home with her books, her poems, and her own mind. Likes to sit for hours and dream of the way words fit together. Not as emotional as the others, Sara likes to approach things with facts and reason.



Emilia
Age: 24
Description: medium length black hair, dark brown eyes
Emilia – The riddle. Equal parts anger and sadness, Emilia seems to be the soul that balances Michelle and Amber out. But she also wants to know what true love is, and seeks it out whenever she can.


Rose
Age: 25
Description: long strawberry blonde hair, blue eyes
Rose – The beautiful one. Rose is the ideal that the others aspire to. Graceful, sweet, and somewhat innocent, she glides through and makes friends easily.


Kelly Anne
Age: 25
Description: short blonde hair, blue eyes
Kelly Anne – The athlete. Strives to be fit in both body and mind. Dislikes having to stand still or wait, when there is so much running or exercise just waiting to be done.

I'm movin' on.

I won't be deleting this journal, nor the others. But I won't be active in them either.
I've started a new chapter. If you've been invited to be part of that chapter, you should know by now. (pay attention to any new adds on your friends list).

I love you all, please take care of yourselves and your loved ones.

"Will I lose my dignity?
Will someone care?
Will I wake tomorrow
From this nightmare?"



"There's only us
There's only this
Forget regret
Or life is yours to miss.
No other road
No other way
No day but today!

I can't control
My destiny
I trust my soul
My only goal, is just to be ME..."
