so that's quite a name you got there. mind telling us the meaning behind it?

My mother named me Echo because it would calm me down when I was still in her to hear echos from caves and such. As for Harmony-Rose, well my father's mother, who died before I was even born, was named Harmony-Rose. They say she was a great lady, and so they gave me her name. My father use to tell me all these stories about when he was kid and what his mother would do. She even played pranks on him when he got older! I think a lady who can be funny and play pranks has to be cool! Besides all that, she was generally known as a nice person. Many people even now, at some of the places I go to help out, tell me how she would donate all her time and money for a cause. My grandmother was known around the town I was born. Unforunately my father liked to move around so much that I don't really see that or any other place as home. I'm an american mutt, my family having come from all over the place.

i see. speaking of seeing, why don't you describe your looks to us? got any fashion tips?

When I was born and up through my childhood and most of my teen years, I had been beach blonde, all natural coloring too. However like two years ago I discovered the beauty that is being a brunette. I think changing my hair to a medium brown has helped change my appearance for the better, and I'm thinking everyone else agrees with me. My hair has a natural curl too it, which I'm not inclined to straighten out too often. It stops a little bit after my shoulders, so its not long or short, but rather medium, which is nice I think. I have deep brown eyes which I get compliented on like all the time.

I have always had fair skin, something not even hours in the sun could really change, other than turning lobster red that is. My father likes to remark how I have a nice moon tan going on for me. He just thinks he's so funny. I have to be pretty careful when I go out into the sun, wear sun screen and all that jazz. I don't want to end up with skin cancer! Imagin how horrible that would be?! I saw someone in the hospital once with skin cancer, and lets just say they did not look too good.

My personal style is off the wall. I love wearing all sorts of things. I have my days where I just want to look very nice and girly, and other days where I'm more into my comfort clothes than anything else. I love wearing scarves and and purses and jewlry, they really throw an outfit together and make it look wonderfully fabulous! I have tons of scarves and purses, enough to match whatever outfit I have it mind to wear. Another thing that I love is shoes. I have a closest full of all sorts of shoes. I love wearing boots, heels, anything!

what are some of the things that you like? any special interests?

I love shoes. Adore them, really. Going shoe shopping is my way of relaxing after a horrible day stuck in school, or just a horrible day in general. Nothing can go wrong when I'm in a shoe store, except for maybe not finding a shoe in my size, but that doesn't seem to happen to often. I see shoe shopping as a hobby as well as an interest! My closest is full with like shoes of all kinds. When I bring my girl friends over, they all tend to go gaga over it. Its funny to watch their expressions.

Another thing I do as a hobby slash fun, is reading. I go to book stores looking for certain authors and collect the books, which makes it a hobby. I read all the books I buy. I have several book shelves in my room, and all of them are slammed to the top of books I've read. I'm a very fast reader, and I go through books like a fat kid would go through cake. Oh, cake. I want cake. Make it chocolate please! I like to take a book and head outside to read for hours. I don't get that kind of time now, but whenever I am able, I do try.

I collect glass dolls and swans. My glass dolls collection was started by my grandmother, and she passed it down to my mother, who passed her dolls unto me after her death. I have tons now, and they really go against the gain of my room, since my room walls are orange and covered with posters of bands and other artists I really like. My mother got me into collecting swans. Just before her death, she gave me a pretty decent sized stuffed swann, who I named Odette after the movie the Swann Princess. I sleep with that swan every night. I have all sorts of swan things in my room, most of them just a decliate as my glass dolls.

I started ice-skating when I was real young. I loved it, couldn't get enough. However just recently I have quite, about the time of my cousin's death. Now the only skating I do is for fun. I still work out in like I was skating, doing some gymnastics to keep my body in peek form in case I ever decided to go back to skating.

if that's what you like then what do you hate? what are some of those pet peeves?

I hate when people think ' Oh well she's pretty, I bet she doesn't have a brain'. Just because someone is pretty doesn't mean they don't have brains! Sure those blonde actresses who play teenage girls act dumb, but please give us pretty people some credit! Just because your hot doesn't mean your not pretty dang smart! People should just get over that sterotype, its played out.

Narrow minded people are also very annoying, Its like they never want anything to change, only want what is happening and nothing more. Life is short, so why make it seem long and boring when you could be out having fun? Do something useful with your life? I always feel the urge to shove them into the nearest 'HELP __' shelter, give then a piece of something new. Maybe then they'll see things with a little less narrowing and a lot more 'ahs'.

You know how someone says they don't conform to anything, want to be seen as original, but are really just like everyone else? You're not original just because you dress in dark clothes, or bright now as the gothic black has gone to glothic colors. Lots of people do this, and it grates my nerves. Your only original if you stay true to yourself. You think your own thoughts, not the thoughts of those around you.

so we have to ask, what side do you play for?

Well I've thought about my sexuality a few times in the past, but I know for sure what I am. I'm straight as an arrow. Girls are pretty to look at, sure, I'm woman enough to admit this, but guys are were its at. They just haven't that certain something, that actually draws me to be attracted to him.

now that we know that, what turns you on to a person?

You know that description, tall dark and handsome? Well I like 'em tall dark and handsome. I don't really mean like dark coloring, I mean like mysterious. I like a guy who is a little on the dangerous side, but still completely safe to be with. I think him to have a mind of his own, and have a touch of arrogant charm to him. Perhaps its all those romance books I read, but I really want a guy who can sweep me off my feet with just a touch of the lips. I generally notice the eyes first off. I love bright blue eyes, or green, its so hard to decide. I don't care what color his hair is, so I rarely notice it. Eyes can just tell so much about a person. Like if he is really interested in you or if he just wants into your parents.I need a guy not afraid to speak his mind, even if he's wrong and I'm right, which I always am!

so if a person wanted to make sure to turn you off what would they have to do?

Just let me catch some guy who thinks that just because we're dating means he gets instant access inside my pants. His balls would be chopped off quicker than it would take a cat to meow. I can't stand guys who are only after one thing, sex. Thats like an instant turn off. If he doesn't have a backbone than he'll have to go. I can't stand guys who let you run all over them. Where's the sport in that? Guys who feel they can't say something to me just because they are afraid of my reaction are a major no-no.

Smokers, now thats another turn off. Its one thing to have a backbone, but another thing to continue smokeing while with me. No one wants to kiss an ashtray. Besides smokeing kills you, slowly maybe, but it does kill. Complete jerks are a turn off, I think most girls, sane ones, would agree with me on this. No one likes a jerk.

we don't get to chose our family, why not tell us about yours?

My mother died when I was only nine years old. I remember her smile still though, and all the things we use to do. Well not all of them since the years of five and under are a little fuzzy, but practically all of them. She was so beautiful and warm hearted. I remember always wanting to be just like her when I grew up. After her death, me and death struggled to get things back to normal. She was just so great of a person. Even now I cry sometimes over her death. I keep close to my heart, her picture in a locket that I wear all the time. She's the one who got me into collecting swans.

After mother's death, things really started changing between me and my dad. He took it into his head that I would be the happiest if he was able to pick some guy for me. Don't ask where he got that idea. I have a hard time telling him to get his own life and stay out of mine, because I knowhow hard mom's death was for him. I wish he would find someone else though. I know no one could ever replace mom in our hearts, but that doesn't mean he has to remain single for the rest of his days does it? He needs happieness too ya know!

I don't have any brothers or sisters, the closest to a brother I ever had was my best friend, who was like my second cousin twice removed or something, Kevin Johnston. Me and him were thick as thieves growing up, and did practically everything together. When we got to high school, both his parents dead and he ended up living with dad and me. He was so depressed. Two years, and a million mistakes later, Kevin killed

himself.

we all have some skeletons in our closet, mind telling us a secret?

When I was a freshman, I tried to help my best friend out of his depression. I ended up getting sucked into, and his whole world was mine. When we were juniors, he killed himself, and I was secretly glad for his death. I didn't tell anyone I was there when he jumped off the roof. I don't want the counseloring, or think I really need it. However now I think I'm beginning to crack. I see his face every time I close my eyes, causing me not to sleep. I've used sleeping pills as as resort.

one last thing, we heard you act like princess odette. mind explainign why?

Well my dad has it in his thick skull that I want him to pick out the guy I marry, whats up with that? I also went from not so pretty looking tom-boy, to look at me now I'm hot! Which seeing the shocked faces of those I grew up with, is a bonus. I also don't want to be judge just on my beauty alone, I want someone too look at me and say that its not my beauty that drawls them to me, that its my heart, my personality, my whatever. I'm not just a piece of eye candy ya know? I'm so much more than that!

[/color] . Echo Harmony-Rose Maddyson
NICKNAMES . just Echo
AGE & DATE OF BIRTH .17; August 2nd, 1992
POWER .
wind manipulation
Echo is able to manipulate the wind any way she wants. She can use the wind to left her body up and make herself fly, although that did take her a while to learn and have control over. She can send huge bursts of wind equal to a torando in how fast and hard she can use to attack someone. Echo is able to use the wind to hear conversations from up to a mile away. She is not unaffected by the wind she creates, and if she's not careful can really do her ownself major damage.

psionic blast
This is not the same as telepathy. She can not hear what others are thinking or project what she is thinking. Psionic blast is the ability to overload a person's mind, causing anything from memory lose, intense pain, lack of consciousness; putting a person in a coma for the rest of their lives, or death, depending on how weak minded the person is ( they must be very weak minded, not stupid or with no will to live, they must be diagnosed with a several mental disablity that would leave them vulunable to attack) Echo is not a fan of this power and there for uses it as infrequently as possible. She is still learning to control the amount of pain being sent into a person's mind.
FACE CLAIM . rachel bilson [/size][/ul]

` i'll be waiting,

[/color] . 5'6
WEIGHT . 127lbs
TATTOOS & PIERCINGS . Echo has both her ears pierced, however she just has the one hole in each in. She is not a fan of Tattos, or at least not for herself. They are pretty too look at, but she could never have one. As for the piercings, she never saw the need to get more for herself. They look better on other people.
DISTINGUISHING FEATURES . Echo has a fairly innocent look to her, and thats what people notice first about her, although she doesn't understand why since she's not all that innocent. People seem to think that she has a trusting face and that she's such a 'sweet' girl. Sometimes it drives her crazy to hear people say that about her, but she doesn't know what else to do to stop them from saying it. Its not like she could tell them that she'd blow their house down if they don't stop, or cause them so much mental pain that they'd wish they were dead. Thats just rude and threating, and Echo is sure threating people is against the law.
PHYSICAL FLAWS . At the back of Echo's neck, right before the hair line starts back there, she has a very long and deep scar. The scar is the reason why she wears her hair down so often, and why she's careful when her hair is up so that it doesn't show very much. She thinks that she has too big of teeth and a pretty wide smile. Yeah her smile is pretty, but it is a touch long!
PERSONAL STYLE .Echo doesn't like to stick with just one certain style to wear, mostly because she doesn't see herself fitting into one certain clique. She likes clothes from any style. Though growing up she was a tom-boy, lately she has been wearing a lot more girly things like dresses and skirts. Just because she's growinging into her feminity doesn't mean she doesn't wear anything but dresses and skirts. She loves wearing her old pair of blue jeans that have mulitpal ripes in them from random things such as playing touch football with the boys during gym class.

Like with everyone else, she has days where all she wants to wear is her sweats, or her PJ's. Those days she just wants to relax, wouldn't put it past her to wear her bunny slippers either. Most days however, she does put a little effert into her appearance. She likes to wear necklaces and braceletts a lot and have all sorts that match most of her outfits. She has a secret obession for sun-glasses, shoes, and purses. She has fair amount in each collection, but she doesn't just go out and by them. Expect for the shoes. Most of her sun-glasses were bought on vaction with some friend or another, and her purses were always bought when something exciting happened to either herself or her friends.

Echo loves peace signs, and if you look on her person, there's generally always a peace sign somewhere on her. She likes to wear her long brown hair naturally, which means for the most part its always pretty wavey, with a few bouncing curls to it.
[/size][/ul]

` lace up your shoes,

[/color] . Echo loves swans, she finds that they are very beautiful to look at, like herself, yet knew that they could be aggressive, much like herself. Her mother gave her a swan necklace when she had turned ten, and that was her most prized possession. Another thing Echo likes is music. While she certainly can't play music, she loves listening to it. She likes almost all sorts of music and isn't picky. Echo loves the color orange, finds it to be a cheerfull color.
DISLIKES . Echo absolutely hates needles. She would fight nail and tooth just not to have a needle stabled into her. It can't be good to have metal poking holes into your body can it? After he murdered her mother in front of her, Echo hates her father. Although that be more of a fear than a dislike. Echo dislikes being told what to do and when to do it. Generally she ignores people when they try to boss her around, brushing off what they tell her to do as just suggestions that she doesn't have to follow.
STRENGTHS . Echo is very adaptable. She can adapt easily into new enviroments and take things as they come. She has shown skills as a leader, always patient and always willing to help. Echo doesn't notice all her good qualities, but others sure enough do and are quick to point them out. For all her partying ways, she knows when its time to work and when its time to play.
WEAKNESSES . She just looks so gosh dern innocent! Many people have a hard time taking her serious just because she looks very innocent, like she doesn't know what she's doing. It tends to make her very mad very quickly when people do this to her, and she's always out to prove them wrong!
GOALS . Right now Echo's main goal is sending her father to prision. She has to appear in court on certain days and those days tend to drain her a lot. If she can send her father to prision for life, all the better. She'd never have to worry about him coming after her, like he had threatened when he had sent to the most hellish place ever. However, compared to her father, Echo is more glad to be there anything, though she wont tell anyone else that for the life of her.
FEARS . While she has many fears in which to tell about, there is only one fear that should really be noted, and thats the fear of her father. After he killed her mother in front of her, he has tried coming at her. Thankfully, however, the police arrested him before he could actually commit the crime of killing not only his wife but his daughter as well. Due to some mental unstablity, they have pushed the trial off quit a bit, however now its in full swing and she's really afraid he wont get jail time. If he doesn't, its no secret that her father will be after her.
SECRETS . Other than having watched her crazy father kill her mother? Echo doesn't really have any more. She's like an open book, except for those secrets in which she wishes to keep a secret, like how the chicken crossed the road: she knows the answer!
[/size][/ul]

` don't tell a soul goodbye,

[/color] . Savannah, Georgia
WHY YOU WERE SENT HERE . Echo was sent here because of her father killing her mother thing, with the extra bonus of actually being a sort of freak. That helped a lot in being sent to this place. A whole lot.
FATHER . Joseph Eric Maddyson - 46 ;; Echo's father is currently in county jail, awaiting for the trail that would surely send him to jail for the muder of his wife. Echo is the primary witness to the murder, and his current goal is to see her killed, however that's more difficult that he thought. He actually does love his daughter, but he doesn't want to go to jail for the rest of his life. Sure he tried to kill her before the police showed up, but he couldn't because he couldn't push out the memories of when she was younger, asking him for him and smiling up at him. Echo herself fears her father, or at least now she does. She remembers when she didn't fear him, like before he went mental pyscho killer and murdered her mother.
MOTHER . Jennifer Rose Maddyson- deceased;; Echo's mother was a beautiful woman who was loved by all. She might have had a problem or two with alcohol and strange men, even if she was married. Her heart was always an open book and out there for anyone to read. She had opened up Joseph alot since she married him. However he has always been the jealous sort and ended up killing her due to an affair she was having. Unforunately their only daughter was there and he tried to go after her as well.
SIBLINGS . Echo has no siblings in which to speak of
PETS . Echo has no pets in which to speak of
OTHER FAMILY . All other family is deceased

HISTORY .Jennifer and Joseph grew up use to the overly rich life style. The kind of life style where they saw their nannies more than they saw their parents. Neither of them had ever seen a real relationship being worked on. This lead them to make many mistakes in their own marriage. While Jennifer was very open, Joseph was the opposite. Many believe the hype they read in magazines in which tells of a love tale, the reason for their marriage. However that was mostly just lies. Neither Joseph or Jennifer could claim love to one another as the reason for the quick marriage. The reason resting solely on litt Echo Harmony-Rose Maddyson, the baby girl that arrived four months after the wedding.

Over time Joseph and Jennifer did grow to love one another, or at least like each other. Joseph more than Jennifer. They decided against nannies for their child, and raised her themselves, something not done in their social class. This also fed the fires to the gossip of a true love match. While the two bumped heads over how to parent the child, the only thing they could ever agree on was things that were definitely in the child's best interest. Like going to the best babie school at such a young age, or all the best school's in general. Over time the two parent's style combined and the child began to grow.

Echo certainly never lacked anything she wanted, but she didn't let how her parents spoiled her effect her personality overly much. It was very shocking to start attending a public school, and seeing how different a public school was compared to a private, but she adapted to the differences pretty quickly. Most students can't even tell if she comes from a rich background or not, most just knowing how much fun she was to be around. Echo has gone to many parties, however she always held herself in check, not drinking overly much and never having sex, since she hadn't found the right guy yet.

It was when Echo was fourteen when things at home began to change. Her mother, who was always home before, started leaving and not coming home for days. This caused her father to become really angry, always ending up smashing things in his office. The next few years of her life, Echo dealt with both her parents in ways she never had before, tip toeing around them. One night, when her mother finally arrived home, things exploded. She was sixteen when she watched her father strangle the life out of her mother. She had tried to get him to stop, however her efforts were wasted. It was because of that night that she now has a big scar on the back of her neck. It was from when her father tried to kill her but failed.The police finally showed up and arrested him, however the damage was already done, her mother dead, and herself severally injuried.

After the events of that night, Echo's powers erupted, which caused her to be sent to a place many would describe as hell. She hasn't had her powers long, but already she's learning to adapt to them, control them even. She is there now, currently awaiting for her father's trail, which, if he is thrown in jail, would set her free of this place to go back to the rich life she lead before.[/size][/ul]

RP SAMPLE . from different site same basic character;;;;

I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU BABY I COULD CRY

[/center]

It was a beautiful day, Echo noted to herself as she made her way out of the dorm room she shared with fellow student, Rhayna Bane. A perfect day to actually sit out by the lake, and read for a while, or just relax in general. Echo held her copy of Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen in her left hand, and brought it closer to her. She absolutely loved the book, and in fact could really be named her favorite book ever. Echo passed a few students on her way outside the school, and all she did was nodd at them with a smile. She didn't know who exactly they were, but it was always polite to smile at people. Frowning showed a disposition on something or another, and the day was too beautiful for her to be in a sour mood.

It didn't take Echo too long to actually make it outside, although the school was fairly big, as well as the school grounds for that matter. It had cost a fortune to attend this school, something her family certainly was short on, but she didn't let the fact that her family was rich get to her. Her father had, after all, sent her to a boarding school, hadn't he? She just bet he was hoping she'd fall for one of the boys that attended this place, but she had news for him: Wasn't. Gonna. Happen. Not in this life time anyways, or with her consent. If she did fall for one, she was sure she wouldn't know it until it was too late.

It wasn't that she didn't want to fall in love, she just wanted her father to have had no say in. He always seemed to be trying to fix her life, which she might add, wasn't broken. She was young! She had all the time in the world to find a guy with whom to be happy with. Echo sighed as she made her way to the lake. It was stunning, breath takeing. She always found the lake to be like this. Echo had always felt sort of drawn towards the lake. Not really to go swimming, just to be around it, especially closer to a full moon. She didn't given into those urges often, not wanting to get into trouble with the school and be kicked out. Her father would have a cow if she were to be kicked out of the school because she was at the lake, without an adult, after hours. She would never hear the end of it from her well meaning father.

Echo sat under one of the trees close to the lake. She propt her belongings around her, her brown skirt fanning around her, hiding her legs as she sat. She rested her back against the tree, many would find this uncomfortable but not Echo. She grabbed her book and opened to page 97, starting where Mr. Bennent was talking to Miss. Mary Bennent.

'That will do extremely well, child. You have delighted us long enough. Let the other young ladies have tim to exhibit....'

ECHO HARMONY-ROSE MADDYSON


THE NAME IS ISA THE GREAT, AND I AM TWENTY.
I'VE BEEN ROLEPLAYING FOR NINE YEARS. I FOUND YOU AT/ON CAUTION

- - - - name, Echo Harmony-Rose Maddyson
- - - - nickname, Echo does not have any other nicknames that she knows of
- - - - age, Twenty
- - - - height, five foot and five inches
- - - - hair color, rich brown
- - - - eye color, hazel

Being told what to do is one sure fire way to ensure that Echo doesn't listen. She can't stand when people try to be bossy or think they know whats best for her. Echo is very adaptable. She can adapt easily into new enviroments and take things as they come.

Echo loves to party, something most wouldn't know by just looking at her. If theres a party going on, generally she's there. However, she does know when enough is enough. She's not a heavy drinker, although since she isn't twenty-one she shouldn't be drinking at all. Echo's main goal at the moment would be to get through college. She is currently attending college with the aim to gain a teaching degree, although she has yet to decide the grade in which she'd best like to teach. A smaller but still equally as important goal for Echo would be to forget about her cousin and all those painful memories thinking of her cousin would bring her. It is probably because of her cousin that Echo parties alot, its like her therpy. Echo isn't terribly over friendly, and boy does she have a mouth on her when she's in a mood!

- - - - mother, Jennifer Rose Maddyson -deceased ;; Echo's mother was known as a beauty, and was generally liked by all. Sure there were several problems with alcohol and various drugs, but no one but Joseph knew about his wife's short comings, not even Echo. Jennifer comes from a middle class family and was originally Joseph's secretary before he up and married her. Echo doesn't know too much about her mother, most of what she does know is what she's seen from her mother's pictures.
- - - - father, Joseph Eric Maddyson - 46 ;;; Echo's father is the president of a major oiling company and has made it big time, although really the money he makes is nothing compared to what the money he recieved after his parents untimely deaths. Joseph comes from a wealthy family, but despite the easy start in life, he has worked hard for everything he's got today.
- - - - siblings, Mathew Tyler Maddyson - deceased-cousin ;; Echo does not have any siblings, but she did have a cousin who was practically her brother. He was her father's brother's son and after the death of his father he came to live with her family. They went through their teen years together. He was bent out on self destruction and Echo was swallowed in his misery. He committed suicide and tried to bring Echo along for that ride, forunately Echo survived.

Jennifer Rose Limber was the oldest child in her family and grew up with a protective side for her siblings that would later grow into a protective side for her only daughter. All her life people would tell her how much talent she had and how she was wasteing them by all the drinking and drugs she did, however their words never phased her and she continued to do as she pleased. Sometime after she completed college, Jennifer recieved a job at a fastly growing company and started walking down the straight and narrow path. It was her boss that would later change everything for her.

Joseph Eric Maddyson grew up with nannies watching over him. He was never sure of his parents affections, but he never let that get to him. It was thanks to his first nanny that Joseph went after everything he wanted. He graduated high school and college with high marks and went on to make his own way in the world, without the help of his families vast fortune. He started his own business and soon met Jennifer Rose Limber. She was his secretary before they started dating and he fell head over heels in love with her. Shortly after they started dating Joseph asked Jennifer to marry him, and she agreed.

It took them five years before they concived a child and brought it to full term. Echo Harmony-Rose Maddyson was born and soon consumed her parents lives. To say that she was well loved would be a understatement. Both Joseph and Jennifer spoiled their young daughter rotten. It was agreed that no nannies would watch their daughter, the job falling to the mother. One tragic day when Echo was four years old, Jennifer went to pick up her daughter from her grandmother's house and got into a huge accident. Jennifer went into a coma for a year before Joseph finally decided to pull the plug on his wife, to save their daughter and himself more heartach. As time went on Echo forgot much about her mother, and her father refused to tell her anything because he was still grieving. She would have turned to her mother's family, only they never seemed to be interested in her. So Echo formed a story in her head about her mother, pretty much making her mother out to be a super-hero.

When Echo turned twelve her cousin, Mathew Tyler Maddyson, moved into the house. His father had just died, the details of his death were never revealed because he was on a top secret mission for the military. Echo and Matt bonded quickly, Matt clinging to his cousin for support. However over time something in Matt changed. He began to become darker, someone bent on self destruction. Being so close to Matt, Echo ended up getting caught up into her cousin's doom and gloom. It was during this time that Echo started to try and seperate herself from Matt, however that seemed to make Matt go crazy. During their junior year in high school Matt made a finally attempt to committ sucide, and he tried to bring his cousin along with him.

Matt had been drinking, something Echo hadn't known until she was already in the car and he was driving. No matter how hard she tried to get him to pull over and let her drive, he didn't. He slurred his words, all of what he said were angry hateful words. The roads were wet from the rain the day before, and slippery. Matt crashed the car into a tree. It threw his body out of the car, instantly killing him. Echo had been in her seat belt, and the paramedics say that the seat belt was the only thing that saved her life. As is she was in a coma for a week, had several broken bones. As time began to pass she was encouraged to see a therapist, however she refused. Echo is currently in college, putting Matt to the far corners of her mind.

Echo rarely forgot anything that had her fired up like what happened about five or so years ago. She was in middle school, and of course she hadn't quite grown into her body, making her look fairly akward. Echo didn't like to think about her middle school years too often because they were just terrible. Nothing good could ever happen when one was inbetween being a kid and a teenager, which was practically like being an adult. The infamous pie incident had happened in seventh grade, and she had never forgiven the boy who seemed to be incharge of it. Echo kept her face relaxed, instead of narrowing her eyes and glareing at him. No need to let him know that she still hadn't forgotten, or forgiven, him for what happened. No she wanted some kind of revenge, even if people say that revenge isn't as sweet as it sounds.

" Well as least you aren't a bear."

[/b] She said sweetly with a smile. ' Now just fool him into believeing your like all those other helpless princesses at the school and than pounce!' She thought to herself, mentally smirking. From her tone she was hoping that he would think that she didn't remember him at all, although really, who could forget a guy like him, especially by the way they met. " You're from Anderson Academy right? I think I've seen you already." She made idle conversation, all the while silently searching for something that could settle the score. Really, she knew she should let it go, but she had been waiting years to get him back. Now if mudd would appear, or something else, anything else, she'd be golden. She was in the least squimish about things found in nature like many of the girls she knew, perhaps because she use to be such a tom-boy...[/size][/color]

Echo took a step or two away from him as she talked. Despite the desire to get him back, Echo wasn't blind. He was an attractive guy, but that wouldn't save him, not one bit. Long ago she decided that looks wouldn't stand in her way of whatever it is she was planning on doing. If she let just any cute guy persuade her to stop what she was doing and do what he wanted, she'd be ruined, and she was sure her father would about kill her. He still held beliefs that she was a five year, only he wanted to see her married, but that was whatever.

Since her mother's death that's about all he seemed to be into, trying to find some guy for her to be with. Not for the sexual stuff, because that would be a little distrubing, but just so she would be set for the rest of her life with a rich guy. He'd prefer if the guy was an in-the-closest-homosexual, but he wasn't counting his breathe for that, which was good because even she had urges, though yet unexplored. She hated to be the one to inform her father of what her plans were for her future, since they didn't include marriage. She wanted a career, something to keep her busy and happy. She just wasn't sure what that was as of yet. University would help her discover what that career just might be. She knew she would be going too, because her father had yet to find a guy for her that he liked enough to give her away too. If she was lucky, Echo wouldn't have to say a word to him, just let things fall as they may. All she needed to do was scare off any guy her father was thinking about and soon he'd give up, or at least she hoped he would. Persistant booger he was.

' I waited for you today, but you didn't show, no no
I needed you today, so where did you go?
You told me to call, said you'd be there
And though i haven't seen you, are you still there?
I cried out with no reply and I can't feel you by my side
So I hold tight to what I know, you here
And I'm never alone '

There are days when being [yournicknamehere] is down right hard. And its definately not easy being [agewrittenout] and having everyone be jealousy because i've been on the scene for [rpexperince] years. But I do what I can to just get myself by. And heres how I do:

Name: Emmaline Khristian Creed
Age: eight teen
Birthday: March 20th, 1990
Occupation: adults
Grade: students
Ethnic: white
Wealth: wealthy
Hometown:
Sexual Orientation: straight
Relationships:


Portrayed By: Kristen Kreuk
Best Feature: Echo belives that her best feature is perhaps her eyes. It sets her apart from every one else. They are a mix between her chinese heirtage and her dutch heirtage. They are a brownish green color.
Worest Feature: Echo does not like her ears. She believes that they are too big for her. When she was younger, the children would pick on her for her ears. While she had grown into them as she got older, it was just something she never got over her past experinces with the kids picking on her.
Detailed Apperance: Standing at an average of five feet and six inches, Echo has always been of average height. She weights one hundred and twenty nine pounds, give or take a pound or two. She has kept her hair past her shoulders her entire life, and at present it is past her bra strape in length. Her hair is naturally straight, and generally she keeps it that way, however there are days when she actuallys puts curls in it. Those days seem to be rare and far in between. She uses little make-up, having no need to use anything other then mascara and eye shadow. With her complexion, it would hinder her looks a great deal if she had too much make-up. Besides, she liked the way she looked without it.

Echo is naturally tan, something she got from her chinese heirtage. She's thankful for it too, because she would never have the time to tan in a tanning bed if she had to get a tan, which in this day in age, pretty much everyone has a tan. Echo nose is short, and just a tad stuppy, and her smile, well it was her smile that had gotten her as far as she was in life. It tended to get her off the hook, although if it didn't, her father's money sure as well would. Echo's since of style is generall off the wall. She tends to like all different sort of things, and as such, does not just stick to a certain type of clothing that would mark her for any one clique. Echo tends to wear either a lot of black or very light colors. She doesn't really go for the neon type colors, although if the outfit would look cute, she would probably still wear it.

Echo loves boots, pure and simple. They, along with just shoes in general, are her fetish. Her closest is filled with all sorts of shoes, and some she has never even worn before. Echo, despite all the money, has very few jewlary, and all of what she does have are fairly simple pieces. She does not like big heavy expensive jewls, much perfering the lighter, simplier peices. She only has her ears peirced, and only once. She has no real desire to add anymore peircing to herself, and absolutely refuses to get a tatoo, though the perks of annoying her father were great.


Dearest Dream: Echo's dream is to finally make her father love her, not just have to deal with her because he and impregnanted his late wife. That goal may be a little harder to see through then anything else she had in mind. Echo also would like to become a history teacher, strange career option for Echo, since she could be anything she wanted to be, had the money to do so. However, Echo has always dreamed of teaching, and the subject she is best at is History, hints a history teacher..
Greated Fear:Echo's greatest fear is to be completely alone. Sure there are times when she needs the space, but overall, Echo can not stand being alone. It feels as if she wasn't meant to be there, on earth, that no one even likes her. Another fear Echo has is the dark. She can not stand the dark in anyway shape or form. She tends to always carry a small light with her on her key chain, just in case. She is irrational, slightly paranoid, that someone is going to attack her in the dark. Of course she knows logically that it wouldn't really matter what time of day it was, if someone was going to attack her, then they would attack.
Habits:
Strengths:

• Echo is independant. Having been mostly abandoned, she has had to do things for herself. Sure she uses her father's money, but other then that, she doesn't relay on her father at all.
  
• Echo is fairly intelligent. As far as school is concerned, she excells at most of her classes, especially english and history. She is actually planning on becoming a history teacher, which is what she is going to college for.
  
• Echo can keep her head in the tightest of positions, she's not easily swaded to do anything. She keeps her beliefs, and rarely strays from them

Weaknesses:

• Echo hates being alone. Having been alone for most of her life, Echo is use to it, she just doesn't like it.
  
• Anything cute tends to get to Echo. She just can't resist cute faces, and tends to get in over her head with children with they give her the 'puppy' face. Its not just children either, anyone who is adorable. She's working on this weakness, and is starting to hold firmly to the words 'no.'
  
• Her father has always been a sore spot for Echo. She knew that when she was younger, things had been different. But that was before her mother's death, before they found out that Elizabeth had cheated. Now her father just ignores her, and it hurts Echo's feelings a great deal

Likes

• Echo has a fetish for shoes, boots in particular. Anytime she goes shoping, Echo buys a new pair of shoes. Some are expensive, some not so much. She pretty much has a shoe for every occassion, but that doesn't stop her from actually buying more and more..Call it an addiciton if you'd like
  
• After her mother's death, Echo recieved a silver cross necklace that had been her mothers. Echo couldn't wear it when she was younger, in fear that she might break it, but now that she is older she is rarely seen without it on. Echo takes good care of the necklace that once been her mothers
  
• Echo has a soft spot in her heart for cats, and in fact owns several herself. She knows her father hates them, and that the only reason she gets to keep them is because her father had a problem telling her know because he felt guilty for the way she was raised, even if he doesn't fix the problems.
  
• Mr. Teddy, the white teddy bear her grandmother gave her when she was younger, right after her mother's death. After moving in with her father, Mr. Teddy had been her dearest friend, and the only person/thing she would talk to for a year after the move
  
• Like most people she knows, Echo loves music. She is mostly a country kind of girl, but listens to anything that she thinks sound good. Don't ask her her favorite band, she just doesn't have one. She tends to listen to female artists more then male, likeing their voices much more then she does for guys, no offense boys.

Dislikes

• Echo pretty much hates being left completely alone. With her father practically abandoning her, Echo is generally use to being alone, she just can't stand it. She would rather be surrounded by people then to be so completely, hopelessly, alone.
  
• It wasn't until much later that Echo had learned her mother had had an affair. Because of her home life, how her father treats her, Echo has an extreme dislike of cheaters. Wheather its cheating on a test, or a person, Echo can't stand any form of it.
  
• Lets face it, Echo just isn't a math kind of person. She can't stand the subject, even if she's not half bad at it. Its just frustrating, and mind taxing, plus is it really worth? When are you going to need to the circumference of circle?
  
• Echo has never been to fond of heights. While she'll actually get on a plane, or a ride, she just doesn't like the feeling of being in the air, or dropping for that matter. It isn't a fear persay, just an annoying feeling of queezieness
  
• Haters are the downfall to life as anyone would really like it. They just bring things down, and if Echo wanted to be brought down, she was sure she could do a much better job at it then some stranger just trying to hate on her for the riches her father earned with his high paying job.

Detailed Personality: At eightteen years old, Echo is an expert on hurting. Having lost her mother early on, Echo was left in the world with a father who seemingly stopped careing about her. So she's pretty use to disappointment, use to having to fend for her own self when it came to loving. Despite being her family up bringing, Echo turned out differently then most would have thought. Being from a rich family, she had never really wanted for anything that money could by. Most people believe her to be a snob, just from the plain reason of her being rich, but that just isn't the case for Echo.

Echo, after talking to her even once, is considered to be a respectful young lady with a clear head on her shoulders. She is also known to be a little blunt, although she does try to word things so that they don't hurt as much as the straight truth generally does. Although she tends to wear an emotional block mask, her eyes generally tell a person exactly what she is feeling, if said person dare cared to find out that is. Echo vaules the truth, at all costs, even if the truth is more painful then she'd care to bare.

Worest Memory:
Detailed History: Emmaline Khristian Creed was born on March 13th, 1990 to Elizabeth Patrica Creed and Eric Tyler Creed. She was the only child born to the Creed's family, and was spoiled because of it. To say she was the highlight in her parents lives. However, although things seemed to be going greatly, all great things come to an end. In the Creed's life, that end was when Elizabeth was murdered by the man she had had an affair with. Broken, Eric left his daughter with his mother until Emmaline was six years old. By that point in time, Emmaline had already recieved her nickname, Echo. Her grandmother had given the girl the nickname loveingly when Emmaline would just repeat everything she heard as her response. Emmaline had not understood why her father had abandoned her so soon after her mother's death, she barely understood that her mother was never returning at the time. Her grandmother had just told her that she would understand one day the hurts of an adult.

When Emmaline turned six, her father returned for her, and forced Emmaline to leave her grandmother's and live a city, far away from good old granny. Eric had not understood his young daughter, and more often then not disappointed her. With his position in the law firm, Eric was rarely home, and always leaving Emmaline with a nanny, and when she got older, he left her alone. Emmaline, having long learned that her father would remain emotionally distant from her, got over feeling like she'd lost both parents. Emmaline had filled her time with extra activities and verious other things.
