Shoulder length, slightly wavy brown hair, often worn up in a pony tail
Youthful features that sometimes makes her look younger than she actually is
Almost always in makeup because she likes it, not because she's trying to get anyone looking at her, because she's not
Similar vein with clothing--she likes to look pretty, but pays zero attention to actual fashion trends
Short and slender, she often wears warm clothing because even air conditioning can freeze her out
Personality
Averse to change
Always has an opinion, but mostly keeps it to herself because people are tiring
Doesn't attach easily, but when she does it can be intense
Cowardly, but doesn't like people to know it
Hates breaking routine, but also hates how boring routine is
Is bored, but apathetic about it
Won't go out of her way to help, but might do what she can if you ask
Sleeps in every chance she gets
Likes things to be clean, maybe a bit of a germaphobe
History
Born in 1990 in Trinidad, Colorado, second oldest child of what would ultimately be four children--two sisters and a brother.
Life was very mundane. Hope was a moderate student, a decent child, rarely got in trouble but hardly stood out.
Nothing ever happened in Trinidad. She ran a few lemonade stands growing up. Nobody got kidnapped.
Graduated middle of her class, broke up with the boy she'd been dating only because it had seemed like the thing to do.
Moved away from home to Ridgefield to attend college there, away from the life she'd known forever.
Got a degree in business with a minor in accounting and promptly had no idea what to do with it.
Found a comfortable job as a data-entry clerk, and has just never left it.
Lives in an apartment by herself, wonders if having a roommate would be better--but doesn't want to change anything.
Got into a car wreck at one point in recent history which totaled her car and she had to get a new one, which sucked.
Found a guy she sort of liked unexpectedly before promptly having her life turned upside down when a client scratched her and turned her into a werecat. She wasn't happy about this.
