CELEBRITY CLAIM Annasophia Robb

EYE COLOUR bright blue/green. It's known to change according to the weather.

HAIR COLOUR light blonde

HEIGHT & WEIGHT five foot four inches, 115 lbs.

DISTINGUISHING FEATURES Besides her light blonde hair, her most distinguishing feature is her smile. Ella is always found with a big smile in hopes of brightening up people's days. She has her ears pierced, but that is it. Stella appears to have perfect, flawless skin- the only "imperfection" is a small birthmark under her ear the looks like a heart.

CLOTHING STYLE Stella is a girly girl. She loves skirts, dresses and cute shoes. However, despite the girlishness, she is not one to wear heels all the time because even a pageant girl knows that they are not functional in everyday life. She tends to wear clothing that is lighter colors (especially spring colors), because she feels like wearing all dark colors is too depressing and her favorite colors are those that are lighter and brighter.

POSITIVE TRAITS

• BUBBLY She's always smiling, laughing and uppity uppity all the time, even when the average person would be upset. She had overly optimistic views about any circumstance.
  
• FRIENDLY Ella is extremely friendly- she will try and speak with just about anyone that is around just because she loves people so much.
  
• CARING The girl has a heart of gold and cares about pretty much everyone including those who may not care about her. She'll try her best to help people the best she can, even though she isn't really talented in many things but being pretty.
  
• LIGHTHEARTED Stella is never one to take anything personal, maybe because either she won't get the point that someone is being mean to her and not trying to be funny. She usually laughs off things.
  
• OPEN MINDED Ella was raised religiously, but that doesn't make her closed minded. In fact, due to her belief that there is good in everyone, she is open minded about almost all situations unless they are seriously horrible. She tries to see from all points of view, even though in order to retain her views of all is good, she might perceive things in a ridiculous manner.
  

NEGATIVE TRAITS

• NAIVE Ella has zero experience in the real world because she was always sheltered growing up. She knows what murder, rape and drugs are, but she only knows them by a formal name and would never ever thing of them as things that occur regularly. For example, if she were to see someone popping pills regularly, she would just think that they were very sick.
  
• INNOCENT This coincides with her being naive. She isn't aware of the real world and with that being said, she would almost never survive. If a guy were to ask her to sleep with him, she would take is as literally, sleeping, and she would be like "SLEEPOVER!".
  
• AIR HEADED Let's put it this way, Stella may be sweet but she is very very stupid, both common sense wise and academically. She struggles with school even when she tries her hardest. She also doesn't understand the meaning of or example, a sarcastic comment until it's entirely too late.
  
• SECRETIVE Stella tries to be very honest with everyone, but is it lying when you simply don't tell? She hides a lot of things, like her past and her parent's views of her and such, because she feels like people do not need to be burdened with her own troubles. She takes it to the extreme, making her appear at the airheaded, yet mysterious sweetheart.
  
• CRY BABY Ella isn't always a cry baby, because she feels bad when she cries. She knows tears makes other people upset or feel bad for her. But if someone is seriously too mean to her to the point where she can't even see much good in them, she will cry. If you touch her, she will cry. She gets frustrated? She'll cry.
  
• HAPHEPHOBIC Ella has the intense fear of being touched due to a childhood experience. She'll freak out if she is touched, and if she is grabbed, even at the shoulder, she'll scream and sob.

STRENGTHS

• GOLDEN HEART Even if some may not like it, there is no denying that she has a heart of gold. Because of how nice she is and how it isn't forced, people seem to like her.
  
• HER PERSISTENCE If someone needs help, Ella's there in a heartbeat trying her best to help out. Even if it's something academic, like a paper, she will be nose deep in books trying to look for something to help. She won't give up.
  
• STICKING TO HER BELIEFS Because of how she was raised, she won't ever stop believing in he religious views. She also will always see the good in everyone, even if it might not really be there already, because it's comforting to "know" not anyone is purely evil.
  
• GRACEFUL Being in pageants has a few pros, one being that you WILL become graceful. Stella presents grace in every step, even though she might not realize it. She's both physically and internally graceful- she gives grace for a lot of things in her life, even when normal people would not think twice about it.
  
  

WEAKNESSES

• GULLIBLE You could tell Stella something ridiculous and if you present it with genuinely good acting skills and a decent story, she will more than likely believe it.
  
• BELIEVES IN THE GOOD OF EVERYONE Because of her "logic" of the good in everyone, it greatly distorts her decisions and views of people. It gives her the great threat of getting accidentally involved with the wrong crowd.
  
• HAPHEPHOBIC You'd think that Ella would be the type to be very affectionate and huggy, but that's actually the complete opposite of her. In fact, she touches no one and has not received a hug in years because of her fear. It makes her feel rather lonely and disconnected.
  
• AIRHEADED The girl it the epitome of blonde stereotypes. You could make fun of her and she won't get it unless you say it extremely bluntly, relentlessly and direct.
  
• STRUGGLES ACADEMICALLY Ella isn't that smart in school either. She has a 2.0 GPA, flat. Barely passing. And she even goes to tutoring and does extra credit assignments.
  
• EASILY USED Stella does not use the word "no" enough. You ask her for a favor, she attempts it, even if it is done wrong. Simple as that.
  

FEARS

• being touched
  
• getting hurt physically
  
• older men
  
• getting yelled at
  
• abduction
  

BEST MEMORY
When Stella placed first place in a beauty pageant when she was six. She herself didn't care if she won or lost, but her mother cared so much about how well Ella did. She'll always remember the smiled on everyone's faces when she one, especially her mother's.
WORST MEMORY When Stella was eight, she was walking home from her Christian School since it was just three blocks away. On the way home, a man approached her and grabbed her, attempting to kidnap the girl. Ella was able to fight back and scream loud enough to get the attention of a homeowner, who rescued her. That incident left her traumatized of older men and of being touched.

LONG-TERM GOAL To be able to use her power to successfully and independently defend herself if need-be.

HISTORY
Stella was adopted as an infant by Lisa and Drew Michaels, the picture perfect parents. They were told that little Ella's parents were killed in a car accident, and Stella was the only one that survived, however there was a little bit of suspicion on how a baby could come unharmed. But any who, the couple took the little girl in as their own, because they could not have children of their own.

As soon as Stella could walk, Lisa immediately put her into beauty pageants to follow in the footsteps of herself. Her dream was that Stella would go on and eventually participate in Miss Universe. But raised by such caring, Christian parents, the blonde never argued or even thought twice about constantly being put into pageants all over Canada. By the age of six, she was well known in the pageant world and began to start winning them.

Growing up as a pastor's daughter, Stella grew up being taught that there was good in everyone, to never judge and to be a good person. This was rather hypocritical of the couple, since they put the little girl in contests to be judged and in fact, they judged those who did not attend their church rather harshly. Ella was always very oblivious to this though. The couple sheltered her by putting her into the church's Christian school and by never letting her out into the real world, or even watching anything non-Christian. The sheltering and sugar coating helped influence the blonde's too innocent, too naive and gullible nature.

When she was eight, Ella was walking home from school, when a older man approached her. Being all to naive, she boldly waved at him and stopped to talk to him, even though the scraggly beard and trenchcoat should have been a warning. The man grabbed her and attempted to kidnap her. Scared and panicking, Ella began screaming and tried getting out of his grip. Her slender figure benefitted her and she was able to slide out of his grip, and her screams were heard. Someone had rushed to aid her, and she ran. But from then on, she was traumatized. She was plagued by nightmares, couldn't stand older men who weren't her father or people she knew in church. But the biggest change was that she couldn't handle being touched. That continued despite the years that passed.

When Ella turned thirteen, that's when weird stuff started happening. At school during their lunch break, she was sitting out in the courtyard under a tree (since she had always been so fond of plants and the outdoors), when someone had tapped her shoulder to return a paper she had dropped earlier that day. The sudden wave of terror within her did something weird- a weed she was sitting next to suddenly grew so tall so fast, that it "slapped" the girl in the face. Stella immediately apologized, even though she wasn't even sure it was her fault. About a month later when her report card came out, she was assaulted with a streak of D's and F's. She had never been smart, but when she showed her mother (when she picked her up from school to walk with her), her mother was so dissapointed that she actually got angry. Ella was very upset, and that's when the nearby flower garden suddenly died.

A scout must have been near by, following Ella because of her strong family line. Soon after, she was sent to the Academy, but not without some family drama. When her parents learned of her abilities, she was practically disowned. They thought she was possessed or even a demon. But after a little bit they lightened up just a little bit and actually acknowledged her existence again- in the form of money and only money, and a letter stating that when she is 18, she is never welcome again.

RP SAMPLE

”You wouldn’t do that just to cheer me up. No one is that stupid.” The girl, whose name Jaden learned was Shelby. The two had known each other for approximately fifteen minutes, and in that fifteen minutes, the boy was able to decipher a few things from the sobbing mess. He didn’t need his empathy to know that the girl was in distress- after all, he found her crying on a bench. But after talking with her and trying to comfort her, things needed to get…serious.

”Well, you have never met me. After all,” he put his knuckles up all together, revealing a tattoo on them- MISCHIEF. It was very suiting, since he has always been known for doing some mildly mischievous work wherever he went. He pulled off his hoodie and his shirt. The girl giggled, which made him feel a bit better. Off went his pants, and finally, off went his R2D2 boxers. ”Don’t you laugh, those are vintage.” he joked, making the girl laugh some more. He tied his hoodie around him, instead of it hanging it in the back though, it hung in the front, that was the little kids in the park only saw his butt.

And off Jaden went, hands in the air, yelling at the top of his lungs, and streaking around the park. He heard the gasps of parents, the giggles of children seeing his butt, and some laughs from some teenagers hanging out. ”FREEEBIRD” he yelled, proceeding to sing some of the lyrics to the song. He looked back over at the girl, across the park who was obviously having a fit from laughter. He smiled, happy to make someone’s day a bit better. However, he failed to see the cop car pull into the parking lot ahead… He just kept running with a famous smirk on his lips.
