POSITIVE TRAITS

• Fun-Loving: When Marilyn isn't working her cute little butt off, she loves to find ways to have fun. Anything that puts a smile on her face is okay with her. She loves parties and people, despite the fact she doesn't drink. She'll act drunk though, if it makes her friends happy, though acting can easily provide enjoyment for her as well.
  
• Athletic: Track, snowboarding, soccer, baseball... Marilyn's done it all. She loves being active, and runs every day, as well as does yoga. It's her way of keeping off the cupcakes.
  
• Spontaneous: Mari is one of those girls who would just up-and-leave on a trip without notice, if she had the money to. She loves trying new things, and often does so on a whim.
  
• Organized: Coming from a house full of kids, Marilyn is very organized. She can't stand a mess, and though her apartment is small, it is always in pristine condition. The only time she'll be fine with a mess is if she's baking, but as soon as she's done, she'll clean it up. She's a hard worker.
  
• Responsible: Marilyn often ends up being the one making sure things get done. She looks after her crazier friends, and the type to be a designated driver. She likes to look after them, but sometimes it reminds her of being a parent rather than a friend.
  
• Flirty: Much like her namesake, Marilyn is quite a charmer. She loves boys, and maybe girls, but she isn't a slut. She just likes to have a little fun and flirt. It's only for enjoyment, though, because she's not about to climb in bed with a stranger.
  

NEGATIVE TRAITS

• Guilty: Marilyn holds herself responsible for what happened with Annabeth, and there isn't a day that goes by where she doesn't think about what happened. Despite her innocence and the fact it was an accident, Mari still believes she could've saved her sister. It wears on her, and makes her keep a closer eye on the people she cares about. It also gives her a tendency to take the blame for things that happen when it comes to her friends, regardless of her innocence.
  
• Troublemaker: Though she tries to keep in the teachers' good books, she just can't help herself when offered an opportunity to sneak out for a night. She wouldn't skip a class, but on her off time, there's no telling where she'll be.
  
• Stubborn: She'd call it persistence, but Marilyn tends to stick to an idea once she's got it in her head. If she believes she got a faulty mark on a test, she will fight for it. If she doesn't want your damn help, she'll fight for that, too. Sometimes it gets in the way of things she needs; she just won't admit she needs them.
  
• Overworked: Considering she takes on more than she can handle, this girl works a job as well as handles her school work and whatever sports and clubs she might have on the go. At home, it was her job to look after her younger siblings while her parents were at work. She doesn't know how to say no to helping someone out, and it gives her more stress than she'd like. She tends to take that mothering role to her friends as well, which may lead her to seem bossy.
  
• Pressured: Due to the loss of her sister, Marilyn feels an overbearing need to live up to the standards she set. Annabeth was always the smarter one, and it makes Mari feel that she should've been the one to go instead of the twin who had the brighter future. It also makes her more liable to make, and regret, her mistakes when she needs to release the stress.
  
• False: When using the term false towards Marilyn, it simply means that she does not always show what she is truly thinking. It makes her a bit two-faced, but her emotions are usually masked by her upbeat attitude even if she's angry or upset. It bottles up and might come out in one large screaming match if she doesn't handle it in a constructive way.

HISTORY The most simple place to begin with this history is in Port St. John's. Yes, South Africa is where it all started; where Marilyn and Annabeth DeCarlo were first brought into this world to very proud parents. They were followed in tow by their four younger siblings over the years, and life was quite simple. Their parents had a decent amount of money until jobs were lost and new, lower-paying jobs had to be acquired. They didn't have much money, but they made the most of what they had when times got hard. It was enough for them.

The girls had a relatively normal life. They both played sports and did well in school. Annabeth excelled in her studies over Marilyn, but Marilyn was the far more social and charismatic one. They were inseparable. When they were thirteen, they discovered their powers while at the beach. Both were Water elementalists, and the family scraped together the money necessary to move them to the boarding school so far away from home. It was there that they began to shine both as individuals and a dynamic duo, so to speak.

By the time they grew older, they were beginning to explore different social gatherings and ways of having fun. But over the summer break, things changed drastically. On their way home from a party and slightly tipsy, Annabeth skipped ahead of her sister - right into the path of a drunk driver, who killed her instantly. Marilyn went back to the school as soon as she possibly could to get away from the town and attempt to rebuild her life, and that's what she's been doing since.

RP SAMPLE

The noise was like a drug, and she was an addict. The club was packed, the drinks were flowing, and there was no way in Hades that the redheaded goddess would've preferred to be at home in her crummy little apartment. It was dangerous enough living there, so why not get out while she could? She had felt so dull since moving in there. She needed the crowd, and the music, and the alcohol. Though the goddess vowed she would not get any further than tipsy tonight, that would probably be a broken promise if the right people bought her drinks. Then she wouldn't be going home until the morning, after spending the night in a stranger's bed.

Nyx had always been more of a night owl, ironically. Perhaps it was her genetics, or perhaps her name was truly accurate. The goddess of night, as well as mischief and mayhem, and the mother of the evils from Pandora's box. It sounded just about right for this girl, who was known for causing trouble wherever she went. Nyx would own up to that, too. She enjoyed being the troublemaker, and the bitch. 'Goddess Bitch', to be exact. Or 'Ice Goddess'. She really didn't care which she got, as long as she was recognized as being the best at what she did. Her skills were impressive, after all, and she had a reputation to keep up.

High heels clicked against the floor as she made her way slowly to the bar, pushing her way through a crowd of people. She had to get a drink; she couldn't stand the heat any longer and the tight dress she had on wasn't helping. Well, it was helping her curves, but nothing more. Nyx hoped there was someone she could find to pay for her drinks. She knew it wouldn't be a problem, since guys usually did that willingly, but it was always a worry in the back of her mind. She didn't have that much cash; that was obvious enough by taking a step into her apartment.

Taking a seat, she gave the bartender a flirtacious grin, and he gave one back. She knew that was his job, but whatever. Nyx appreciated the attention anyways. Though she got a lot of it, the redhead knew that was at her own expense of coming off as a slut, rather than being the most stunning woman around. But she craved the affection, and didn't know any other way to get it. It wasn't like she was about to start up a relationship. A martini was pushed in front of her lightly, and she sipped on it gingerly before her eyes surveyed the crowd. She'd find someone tonight, she always did. She was the goddess of night, and she'd be damned if she went home before morning.
