Overall Appearance:

{HAIR}
When it comes to Effie’s hair, it seems pretty much the most flawless feature to her appearance. Most people tend to ask whether or not her hair is actually natural and are quite shocked when she tells them that her hair has never ever been touched by chemicals from hair dye. Well, it probably was the fact that her parents despised un-natural colours for hair and refused to allow any of their children have their hair changed. Over the years, Effie got pretty attached to her hair colour and adores the fact that it is such a nice blonde colour. Starting from the first thing you usually start with when it comes to hair, is the length. Looking at Effie’s hair from a picture, it doesn’t look all that long but if you see her face-to-face, her hair cascades right down her back and ends nearer the middle of her back. From the front, it seems that her hair only reaches to her chest level but it is the way she has had it cut and layered which makes it seem shorter at the front. Effie has had side bangs put into place and it blends in very well with her actual hair. Her side bangs only just cover up one eye but not so much so that she can’t see. As for the colour, Effie’s hair is and always has been a white blonde. It is described as white rather than golden just because the colour of her hair doesn’t look golden and leans more towards white than any other colour. Effie has naturally wavy hair and by just looking at it, you probably wouldn’t have guessed. She definitely does straighten her hair though not all the time as her wavy hair seems to look pretty cute. And especially if she uses curlers to give it some extra boost. Usually, Effie will wear her hair down or if she cannot be bothered to do anything with it, she will put it up into a pony tail. Effie loves the little girly ribbons that get put into your hair and she also adores the headbands with medium sized bows on. She will wear them quite a lot just to add a bit of colour to her completely plain hair.

{EYES}
Effie has quite nice brown eyes which are close to being almond shaped. They seem to give her face a more innocent look but when it comes to the makeup she wears, they can seem a little intimidating. Her eyes have a nice match with her hair though, most people look at it as blonde hair and blue eyes not brown. Effie sees nothing wrong with her eyes apart from the fact they give off a look she doesn’t really like that much. Especially as she’s not an intimidating person and keeps herself to herself a lot of the time. Out of everything, it is probably her eyes that she doesn’t like too much about her appearance. Effie is also short sighted and has to wear glasses for reading and when she paints. Or when she has to look at something that is a small distance away. The fact she is short sighted has given her a few difficulties when doing artistic work but it is something which runs through her family. Both her grandparents had glasses, her mother has glasses and so do four of her siblings. However, her father and other three siblings have perfect sight and aren’t in need of glasses. Sometimes, Effie hates wearing her glasses and tries out contacts. But, her parents practically force her to wear them and if she doesn’t, it all ends up in a back-chatting argument. Personally, Effie wishes she didn’t have glasses but luckily, when it comes to pictures she isn’t forced to wear them. Either that or she refuses to have a picture taken. In some cases, she enjoys taking nerdy pictures of herself wearing glasses but other times it’s a big no. Effie’s glasses are neatly shaped and have purple rims although, her parents were going to force her to have some super horrid ones.

{SKIN}
Effie’s skin is well looked after and healthy, even though she has quite a pale complexion. She tends to apply moisturiser or something along those lines both morning and evening to give her face that fresh look. In most terms of skin, it is really the face that is most concern to people and so Effie puts more focus in to making sure her face is healthy looking before the other skin on her body. Sometimes, Effie looks a little like a ghost with her pale complexion and most people assume she is ill but it’s just something she cannot help. As well as that, she hardly tans when she is out in the sun. It takes more than just a few hours out to give her a decent tan but in some ways, she is glad. During her childhood, she was always told that getting sunburnt is bad for your skin and so Effie was glad that she rarely did catch the sun. When she does however, she gets quite a nice tan but it just doesn’t suit her unlike her fairer complexion. Effie does things that a lot of people never bother to do. She washes herself twice a day if not three, makes sure she doesn’t wear makeup that is going to damage her skin and she applies some sort of moisturiser or facial cream that will give her a soft and gentler look. Effie really does make an effort to remain clean when it comes to her appearance in public.

{MOUTH}
When it comes to Effie’s mouth, it is also apparently another flawless feature of her appearance. However, whoever said that was completely wrong. Starting off at her lips, she has quite a nice set. They are fairly thin but she has always been able to pull the craziest faces with them. It’s always a big advantage when taking pictures of herself. Effie also takes care of her lips so they don’t end up cracking. She always has a small tin of Vaseline with her in her bag and she tends to use it quite a lot. She prefers it to lip gloss and lip balm people use and she isn’t too fond of the flavours they come in. All in all, Effie has a pretty nice set of lips but moving on into her mouth, things start to differ slightly. This girl, has never had a perfect set of teeth. When she was little, her front teeth were a little out of place and she was put onto a waiting list to have braces. It was a few months before she finally got them done and she had them until her teeth straightened out. After that, she was given a retainer and she has had it since. When she first got it, she had trouble speaking and it was noticeable when she spoke. But after having it for such a long time, her speech has got better and it isn’t as noticeable as before. In fact, not many people know that she has a retainer. However, Effie still has some trouble sounding her ‘s’ but it isn’t all that noticeable either. Other than having a retainer, Effie’s teeth are in perfect shape and she brushes them twice a day if not three. She likes to feel clean and healthy and hates having bits of food stuck in her teeth.

{HEIGHT}
Effie isn’t exactly tall for her age nor is she really average. Well, maybe for some people her age it seems average but in terms of those she hangs around with, she is pretty short. Standing at around 4’11, Effie is one of the shortest in her family. She hates her height and always has. She was always teased by others and especially her many siblings. In fact, that’s exactly how she adopted the nickname ‘Shorty.’ It had been one afternoon that her family insisted on a photograph and told them to stand in height order that they all realised just how short she was. Her brothers teased her mainly and continuously called her ‘Shorty’. The name sort of stuck and people still call her it now. But, other than liking the nickname, she hates her actual height and wishes she was a little taller. Effie will sometimes wear high heeled shoes just to make her seem taller but it never really works all that well. No matter how hard Effie tries, she can never make herself seem tall, she just makes herself look like a right idiot. But in some ways, it is quite an advantage for her. She is able to lean up to people to kiss them and easily cuddle into their chests. It makes her seem quite adorable in some ways. But when someone looks down on her, she feels quite awkward and weird about herself. It makes her feel intimidated and even if they’re only kidding, she doesn’t really know what to do with herself to put her back in place.

{WEIGHT}
As for her weight, Effie seems to be a really quite underweight. She hasn’t always been a very slim girl and was a big fan of her food. She enjoyed a lot of junk food back then and ate when she was bored. It was something she got attached to. But when she was only a small girl, people teased her of her weight. Yes, she was a little chubby then. Effie took a strive on it and cut down on her food but not only did she do that, she would throw up her food after eating it. A lot of people would probably look down on her if they had known and even her family became a little concerned about her sudden weight loss. However much pleased they were that she’d finally got her slim body back, they couldn’t help but wonder how she’d done it so quick. Effie never did it for the fun of it, she just hated her body. Over the years, it got built into her but when a friend found out; they helped her to get over the illness. At first, it was difficult and she was still scared to eat more than one meal a day but luckily she went to a place which also helped her to face the fact that she was going to end up killing herself one day if she didn’t start eating properly. It was a very emotional time and by the time she turned eighteen, she had finally stopped throwing up her food. Well, she still feels like she has to but she has got back to eating properly – well, nearly. She is gradually getting there but she is still super skinny and will never admit to anyone as to what she put herself through because of teasing. She is just glad she stopped before it went too far and she was on her death bed.

{CLOTHING}
Effie’s clothing style tends to be fashionable for only her. Most people, probably a little older or a little younger than her, would find her style out of their league. Though she doesn’t have hundreds of items of clothing, she still has a fair amount and most of it is bright and colourful. She is a fan of bright tops, whether they are dress tops, tight tops, strap tops or any top that is technically available, she will wear it. One thing about Effie’s style that you should know is that she will never ever wear jogging bottoms or anything in that category. The only type of hoody she would wear would be one that appealed to her and didn’t come from a sports shop. Effie is addicted to skinny jeans and big belts which are both for tops and trousers. She also has a thing for t-shirts with quotes on or bands on or really anything that is artistic. Though, she isn’t one to go for tops that have some sort of insult on. Effie isn’t too fond on dresses but skirts she can deal with. As long as they, once again, appeal to her style category and aren’t out of her range. She tends to go for clothing that is tight and doesn’t look like it is three sizes too big. But with the body of Effie, it is hard to find clothing that actually fits her properly. She tends to go for the less expensive, yet fashionable clothing. Perhaps from markets or sales in shops. Whatever floats her boat really.

{MAKEUP&ACCESSORIES}
Effie’s makeup changes on a regular basis. She never has the same style everyday which means she has a lot of makeup. Of course she does, a whole drawer full to be exact and she keeps it all in an organised manner. She doesn’t really care about the colours she wears and she likes to do random shapes or flicks when applying it. Sometimes it’s just a few flicks in the corner with her eyeliner but nothing too big so that it stands out majorly. Effie is a fan of eyeliner and always has been. On top of that, she is also a fan of eye shadow but she isn’t too fond on blusher and mascara. Though, she will wear mascara just to add a little bit more boost to her eyes. Effie doesn’t always go according to what she is wearing but when she does, her eyes match perfectly with her clothing. She spends a lot of time perfecting her makeup and clothing that people often compliment her. But, it is probably just her artistic streak that has given her all these pointers about makeup. Effie has a few piercings which are her belly button and ears. She did have her nose done but she hated it and allowed it to close up. She has quite a few different pairs of earrings and belly button rings and they are all in random shapes. She isn’t one for the normal ring at all. Effie also adores ribbons, scarves, hats and random things for her hair. She enjoys adding her own style to clothing and has yet another three drawers filled with accessories as well as her cupboard. She can also be very artistic when it comes to her accessories. She likes to test them out on fake models before wearing them herself and if they look rubbish, she adds on her own décor. Once again, she is a perfectionist.

Overall Personality:

{ARTIST}
Effie isn’t your average artist. In fact, she is completely opposite to average. She is an art freak and she knows it. Most of what she does is built around art and she has great knowledge about art in the past, art in the present and even how art might be in the future. Yes, she is completely and utterly insane but she doesn’t care one bit. The main thing about Effie and her art streak is the fact that she even adds her art knowledge to her clothing. She can do a lot that is built around the world of visual things from sewing to clothes making. She is the girl most turn to if they need her help on anything to do with art. Whether it be completing homework to getting some tips on fashion and the art world. But, Effie doesn’t always like the attention. She keeps herself to herself a lot of the time and hates it when someone tries to steal her work. She has seen it before and it has happened over and over. She’s has people stealing her work and claiming it’s theirs and she’s had people taking tips from her and making them their own. Since those incidents, she has been quite wary about telling people her secrets to success and art. She is your average A + student but more on her own accords and mostly it comes from hobbies she does in her spare time. Effie is insane about art and loves to find out new things and discover artists. It is her dream to become an artist one day and so far, her dreams are already on a roll. She does her best in everything she does and even if it’s a piece of science homework, she will add on a diagram in her own style.

{INDIVIDUAL}
As stated in the section about her artistic side, Effie is pretty much an individual and keeps herself and her work to herself. She has never really been dependent on anyone other than her parents when she was little. And since most people are out to get her work, she just doesn’t want anyone to be in on her plans for exams, homework and whatever else that she does. It may appear to many that she is always on her own as well and the first thing you would probably think is that she has no friends. So what if she likes to keep herself to herself and do what she likes? It doesn’t mean she doesn’t have friends. In fact, Effie has quite a nice group of friends and they are classed as special to her. She likes to have a laugh and a joke but at the same time, she likes her individuality. Effie isn’t much of a team worker and as stated before, she depends pretty much on herself to get things done and on time. Though, she isn’t really that good at time keeping and often gets things wrong. Sometimes, her individuality gets the better of her and really she should depend on others to help her. But it just doesn’t suit her to do such a thing. Maybe it’s the fact that she comes from a big family that she is like that and she never did get on with all of her siblings. Maybe over time she’ll change and at least be dependent on one person in her life.

{IMAGINATIVE}
To be an artist, you need to have a decent imagination right? Well, that’s good then. Effie has an imagination filled with all sorts. Her mind is technically always active and that’s probably why she sometimes talks in her sleep. The thing with Effie is that she never stops believing in something and even when someone tells her it’s not real, she never gives up on faith. The amount of things her mind comes up with, you’d wonder where she came from. She thinks up the craziest things, draws them and makes them into a whole new piece of art. Even sometimes, she can seem in a world of her own and she probably is. Effie loves to draw what her mind tells her. Whether it is something normal or out of the ordinary, she will put it down on paper so that she never forgets it. Half of the stuff her mind comes up with is complete rubbish but to her, it’s magic. Effie never will give up her imagination, no matter how childish it may seem. Nobody is too old to make things up from what your imagination comes up with. The world would be one boring place if everyone gave up. And with Effie, she never will give up and she likes her creativity just the way it is.

{CLUMSY}
Alright, alright. There was bound to be a flaw somewhere along the lines. Yes, Effie is really quite a clumsy girl (forgetful as well). From the silliest things from forgetting the time to sitting on things that shouldn’t be sat on, Effie is the girl whom will most likely do that. She even manages to trip over air or her own foot. And once, she tripped up the stairs. A lot of the time, it is pretty funny and it seems that she is used to hurting herself by now that when she does hurt herself, it takes someone to tell her she’s bleeding for her to actually notice. Effie is also accident prone and a bit of a danger magnet. But, when it comes to things she is focused on, the whole clumsiness of her disappears. It is really quite weird. You would have thought that she would mess up her art all the time but she doesn’t. It is always perfect and to the best of her ability. But when she is outside of her box, she is a complete klutz. Luckily, it isn’t always a ongoing thing and she can actually do other things without hurting herself in some way. But a lot of the time, she is banging into people or tripping up. It’s either funny or serious but never in the middle. And sometimes, Effie says things that she shouldn’t have said. Usually it’s something that happened in one class and then she ends up telling her other teacher which she shouldn’t have.

{SHY}
Effie and shy? A complete match. But really, her shyness is mainly to do with meeting new people. She feels quite awkward around them and is prone to blushing a lot. However, when she is with people she knows quite well, she is pretty confident in herself and when she meets someone new when she’s with other people, she is perfectly fine also. But when she is on her own and meeting someone new, she doesn’t know what to do with herself and she finds herself biting her bottom lip a lot. Sometimes a little too hard. Once she gets to know somebody, it is quite easy to bring out her more confident side and it’s one thing that is pretty shocking. Nobody really expects her to suddenly be confident after having a shy start but she is a lot of the time. Effie has always been pretty weird when it comes to her levels of confidence. But she is never over confident in herself. Sometimes, she just completely lacks in it and finds it hard to talk to people she doesn’t know. But once they start asking things and she gets into the swing of things, and doesn’t really stop talking at all. Sometimes it’s really quite concerning but it’s nothing to worry about. She’s just your average freak.

{HYPERACTIVE}
Effie can be a really hyperactive girl if you spend time getting to know her. She tends to be always up for a laugh and she just happens to brighten up a lot of people’s days. She just has that vibe about her that people just can’t help but smile at. She knows when to be serious and when not to be serious and she often takes things as they are thrown at her. She isn’t always hyperactive and that tends to be when she is upset or ill but most of the time she is bouncing around like no tomorrow. She is always there to cheer you up when you are down and well, she’s just one hyper girl. There’s not really much you can explain about Effie and being hyperactive. It just happens and when it does, it’s pretty amusing for many people. Just don’t catch her when she’s an emotional wreck.

{FRIENDLY}
Effie is probably one of the most nicest girls you might meet in your life. She just so happens to be super friendly and probably too nice for her own good. She always gives people a chance and never judges them right away. She just isn't like that, no matter how mean they may seem. She seems to think that everyone deserves a chance and the fact she is so friendly, it gives people a chance to take advantage of her. In ways, her friendliness is a flaw but in others it's a perfect trait to have. Technically, it's neither right nor wrong. But Poor Effie just can't help how she is. She loves to be nice to people even if she is an individual. But if people step all over her, they will soon know about it. She dislikes being messed around with and thats when she takes a stand and sticks up for herself. Obviously not in violence but in some other way.

Overall History:

{BIRTH}
Effie Francesca was born to Eleanor and Damian Witt on February 14th. Yes, Valentine’s day. In fact, it was a complete shock for the couple to be spending that special day in hospital but in ways, they believed that their little girl must be special for being born on such a day. Effie was born at 11am in the morning in a hospital located in Spain. Her parents had lived in Spain since their graduation but Effie’s mother was full Spanish giving her a Spanish background. Eleanor had moved to England to go to a private school and met Damian there. They then moved back to Spain after they left school and now Eleanor speaks fluent English. Anyway, at 11am, their first baby girl was born. She weighed a healthy amount and was a very happy looking child. The couple already had seven children and many doctors were surprised they managed to have another. They named her Effie after reading it from a book and fell in love with the amazingly unusual name. And since it was Valentine’s day, Effie had to be special in some way right? Baby Effie was taken home only hours after her birth and introduced to her other siblings. The family currently lived on a large farm and the house was a perfect size for the family. And Effie took to her new home like a duck does with water. Effie was pretty much born into what seemed to be a perfect little family. Or that was how it begun.

{TODDLER}
Effie entered her toddler years with flying colours. She was a happy and bouncy little baby and was always playing with her older siblings. She learnt to crawl and speak small phrases at the age of one. By the age of one and a half she was walking on her own and speaking more clearly. Her mother was teaching her both Spanish and English and Effie was learning something new every day. Her father allowed her to wander around the farm with him to feed the animals but it was the horses that caught her eye. She adored them and would always say to her mother or father “Effie feed horsey”. Although, sometimes they would refuse since it was often late at night she asked but usually it was a yes and they would take it in turns to take her outside. Her older siblings were always doing their own things since Daniel was 21, Tom was 19, the twins were 17, Matthew was 12, Jason was 7 and Katie was 6. Effie mainly had the attention from her parents but sometimes, Matthew, Jason and Katie did as well since they were still pretty young. Effie was quite unaware of the huge age gaps and often confused her older brothers with her father. It was an easy mistake but they adored her all the same.

{FIRST PET}
By the time Effie was three years old, she was running around and being crazy. Her imagination was slowly building up and she was always playing make believe. Her whole bedroom was filled with horse stuff and she had miniature models of them. She was a horse fanatic. Just a few weeks from her 4th Birthday, her father asked her to come outside with him. She didn’t object and followed him outside, a little confused. She was led to the horse stables just beside their farmhouse and in Spanish, Effie asked what was going on. Her father laughed and replied in English [having not learnt much Spanish]. When they entered the stables, Effie couldn’t believe her eyes. Her father had brought her, her own horse as a birthday gift. It was quite a small horse, just the right size for her and her father allowed her to take horse riding lessons on the farm. Effie could never find a way to thank her father and she spent so much time with her new horse of which she named Pippa. It was a dream come true for little Effie and there was nothing that could match a pet horse. She had only ever been able to play with the ones which weren’t theirs and to have her own horse, she didn’t know what to say to thank her father.

{STARTING SCHOOL}
At the age of four, Effie was allowed to start school. She was ever so excited about it and her parents were so very proud. Her first school was such fun for her. She learnt how to read, write and speak more English and Spanish. She was on a roll like never before. She even had the guts to share stories with her friends and classmates which simply came from her wide imagination. And it happened to be when they first started painting that Effie realised her love for art. She would paint things that were pictured in her head rather than what other kids were painting and she was completely out of the ordinary. All the teachers were concerned about what she was painting and when they contacted home, they explained about how she was a little creative in terms of make believe. They soon understood and allowed her to do as she wished when painting and she never ever lost focus in her images. It was now her dream to carry on the history of art, even at the young age of four.

{TEASING}
Things went downhill for Effie when she turned ten years old. She started to over eat and eat when she was bored. Her parents also found this a concern but when did a ten year old understand such concepts in life? Effie continued to gain a lot of weight and didn’t really find it as much of a problem. Well, that was until she went back to school after the summer holidays and many kids started to tease her about her weight. She would refuse to go to class and hideaway in the toilets crying her eyes out. She was afraid to face the public now she realised just how much weight she had gained. The teasing continued for months on end but Effie couldn’t think of what to do. She tried cutting down on the food she ate but that wasn’t the answer and she even tried exercising. But that was just too slow for her. She couldn’t take anymore of the bullying and it happened to be one evening that all of that changed. She found a way which she had heard of before during a class at school. It was the beginning of a new illness for young Effie, just because of some Bullies.

{BEGINNING OF ILLNESS}
One evening when Effie arrived home from school and her dinner was sat on the table for her, she did something she thought she would never do in her life. She ate all of her dinner and once she had done that, she went into the upstairs bathroom and threw up her food. She made herself sick just because of her weight. The issue went on for ages and soon it became a thing that she had to do. She was slowly getting her slim body back but she just couldn’t stop herself from doing it. It was like a need for her. If she ate a meal, she would feel sick and have to throw up. And sometimes, it got so much for her; she would be a complete emotional wreck. But she hid it all away from her parents and siblings. She didn’t want anyone to think badly of her for giving in to bullies and people who didn’t know what it felt like to be called names. But soon, her parents were becoming concerned. They would look at Effie and be proud of her weight loss but they would wonder how she did it. They started to question everything and Effie still kept quiet. She kept up her happy self and even took art as a hobby. She would paint for hours on end and only come out of her room for school or if her parents wanted to speak with her. Painting was her life now and throwing up was part of it. She couldn’t do anything about it and she had nobody she could talk to.

{FAMILY PHOTO}
Only to make things worse, her parents called for a family photo. They asked each of their children to arrange themselves in height order and even forced Effie to wear her glasses. She didn’t object but when they got themselves in height order, she was surprised to find that she was the shortest in the family, standing at 4’11. Even though her siblings were much older, she was still completely shocked and so were her family. They teased her and called her Shorty and that was how she adopted that nickname. But that just added to her pressure from her illness. And soon she was finding it harder and harder to cope. The only thing that was helping her was her art and soon she was painting pictures all over her wall. Creating things from her mind. She would draw how she wished her life was but in silly little codes and it looked quite pretty. She was scared about everything and drawing and painting was the only thing that she could do to get her away from the world. She even started doing research on artists and in school, art was her main focus. After a fall out with her parents, she found life so complicated that she only had one thing left to do. Run away.

{RUNAWAY}
Effie did exactly that. At 2am, she gathered up a bag of things and fled from her house. She got a taxi into town and spent the evening on a park bench. She had no idea where she could go and since her friends were quite far from where she was, she couldn’t go to them. And she had no money. Effie spent days on the streets, doing this and that, drawing and selling pictures and just trying to sort herself a new life. But she missed her home and her family. She wanted to go back but she didn’t know how. She didn’t know exactly where she lived as it was a farm. She was like a little lost sheep looking for someone to help her get out of her illness and crappy life. But after 3 weeks on the streets, the police finally found her and took her to the station to contact her parents. She was scared out of her mind but when her family turned up, it was tears all around. Effie was glad to finally be able to go somewhere she belonged and she was so glad she was found before she was killed or something. The last thing she wanted was for the police to find her body and her parents having to identify it. The thought sent a shiver right up her spine and Effie decided that now was the time for a change.

{HIGHSCHOOL}
Effie started high school quite late. Well, at the age of 15. She was glad to be finally trying to get on with her life and carried on with her art. She had a few friends, all of whom made her laugh and got her hyper side back up to its levels. In fact, they got her back to normal, well, everything other than getting rid of her illness. Yes, she was still throwing up her food. But there was one girl Effie adored like a sister. Her name was Maria. The pair were glued together like twins and did everything with one another. They would tell each other everything and that was exactly when Effie spilled her secret. Maria understood completely and agreed to help her get back onto her feet. And that’s exactly what she did. Step by step, Maria helped Effie try and eat properly without throwing up. She rang up a few health services and Effie was soon enrolled in one which helped her to understand what she was doing to herself. After 2 years of that, she finally stopped throwing up her food. It was an emotional two years and now she was finally getting back onto a steady pair of feet. Effie couldn’t find a way to thank Maria. But, the illness isn’t fully gone. There is still a few urges that she has to throw up but she holds back and acts as if it’s not there. She wants it to be gone forever. And she just loves how she is almost back to her old self. She even has her amazing imagination back and rolling like an ocean. Well, things soon changed when Effie’s parents announced they were moving to San Francisco.

{MOVING}
Effie was really quite emotional when she had to move. She had to sell Pippa and she had to say goodbye to her one and only best friend, Maria. It was something she was hoping she’d never have to do. But the pair remained in contact [and in fact, they still are]. They promised to visit one another and to keep each other posted on their lives. The family moved on to San Francisco soon after, well half the family. A lot of Effie’s siblings were old enough to have their own families now so they moved out. So technically it was only a few of her siblings coming. They moved into a nice family house; nothing like their normal home but it was similar. Effie had to re-do her bedroom how it was before and she spent forever getting the paintings perfect. She made sure that everything looked the same and wouldn’t stop until it was done. The next step after that was getting to know the neighbours. Such fun. But Effie did exactly that and she met so many new people that she just couldn’t help but adore. Though, she was super shy at first. One person certainly caught her eye and she really enjoyed his company.

{FIRST LOVE}
The guys name was Leo Davies and he was one year older than Effie. The pair met while in the park and Leo first introduced himself. Of course, Effie was super shy and kept blushing and feeling awkward but soon she was talking to him like there was no tomorrow. He even lived only a small way from her which made it even better for the pair to meet up and hang out. After a few weeks of knowing one another, Leo asked Effie on a date and she accepted. Being 18 years old, she was able to take care of herself and was allowed out until any time she wished. It was on their first date that they had their first kiss and soon after the pair were dating one another. Effie has never been more happier and can’t think of anyone else she’d rather be with other than Leo. She is so glad she has met him and the young couple are simply happily in love.

{FIRST AWARD&COLLEGE}
Effie and Leo have been dating for about a year. Their relationship is a pretty serious one but still Effie's main focus in life is art and college. Effie enrolled into a college and loves it there. In fact, it is part of her life. But just before we talk about her college choices and life, there is one major thing that happened. Effie received an award for best designed bedroom. Her parents had seen the contest in a magazine and decided to send in pictures of her room while she was out. She won and was given the award in London which meant she had to go away from San Francisco for awhile. It was such an experience for her and that made her want to keep going with her artist streak. Even in college it is Art, Art, Art and she always seems to find a way to interpret things into artist speak. She has even attempted to come up with theories for future art and they are pretty interesting ones at that. Unfortunately, people seem to like to steal her work and she has become wary of sharing her tips and art work with people. Though, she is always willing to give a helping hand. She just can’t help herself. Effie is just glad that she has finally moved on with her life and on a roll towards her future. Effie is just glad she has Leo in her life and hopes that he will be there for a heck of a long time. She's never been more happy to be exact.

It wasn’t exactly clear to Bella what the time was since she seemed to be rushing around the house, gathering things from different rooms. She was multi-tasking once again as Charlie was sitting in the living room, his feet up, watching tv. She had expected him to head on out fishing with Billy or maybe even be at work – but that wasn’t the case this afternoon, which meant that she had to get his lunch ready, sort herself out and then head out to see either Edward or Alice. She didn’t know whether or not any of them were in as she hadn’t heard from them since her meeting with Alice in the town. That had been one fun-filled day that she was sure to never forget, especially as she was pretty clumsy and completely embarrassed herself in front of a Forks resident; Dale Swanten. He too was a pretty strange guy, what with his hyperactive nature and musical ability. He was even humming to himself – not something Bella caught every day. Usually, she was hurting herself, falling over or just being a complete fool. She couldn’t help herself, she was accident prone and a bit of a danger magnet. That was possibly half the reason she was panicking about the wedding; she was sure that she was going ruin something or end up dying. Or it could be someone else planning to ruin things for her, someone such as Jacob Black and his friends. Bella knew how disappointed they were in her and how Jacob was very jealous of Edward and vice-versa. She clearly remembered the day when Victoria tried to kill her. Jacob kept thinking things to make Edward jealous and that really hurt her. She couldn’t believe that Jacob would do such a thing but she was thankful that he had a warm body – otherwise she would have frozen.

Bella finally managed to gather up all the things she needed in the kitchen to make Charlie his lunch. She was going to be simple today and only make him a sandwich and possibly some bits and bobs to go with it. Laid down in front of her were two slices of bread, some cheese, margarine, a knife and even some fresh salad. She scanned her eyes over the items before deciding to make him a cheese sandwich with some salad and a packet of crisps on the side. Before starting, Bella rummaged into a cupboard and pulled out a packet of crisps (Charlie’s favourite flavour of course) and threw them onto the side just beside the other items. And with that, Bella set to work to make Charlie’s simple, yet yummy lunch. It didn’t exactly take her long to put it all together, but long enough to make sure she did it so he wouldn’t complain at her. Charlie had continuously been complaining at her lately because of the wedding and it was starting to bug her. It even bugged her that he kept mentioning Jacob and how she should be marrying him rather than Edward. It seriously made her feel that he wasn’t going to support her choices and she could never tell him anything ever again. But being who she was, she couldn’t keep him in the blue about the wedding as she wanted him to be there to, be proud of her and to appreciate her choices in life.

She cut the sandwich into two and popped the salad and crisps on the side. She also made him a cup of tea just the way he liked it. Bella put everything else away and picked up the plate and cup before heading into the living room where Charlie was. His eyes seemed fixed onto the tv that he didn’t exactly notice her come in until she set the food down beside him and held out the mug. He hesitated for a moment before taking the drink from her hand and placing the plate of food onto his lap. He gave a small nod to Bella and she sighed to herself before leaving the room and heading back upstairs into her room. She slipped on her shoes, a jacket and quickly brushed her hair before looking out of her window at the sun which was just peeping out from behind the clouds. Luckily, it wasn’t raining. Bella bounded down the stairs and into the hallway, taking a quick glance at Charlie. She picked up her keys and wrapped her hand around the door handle. ‘I’ll be back later, Dad.’ she called, while heading out of the door and down to her truck which was parked in its usual position on the driveway. Bella hopped into the truck and slipped the key into the hole, twisting it until the whole thing roared to life as if it was ready to go. She smiled happily to herself and put her foot down onto the pedal so that she could reverse out of the drive. It didn’t take her long to do that and soon she was heading down the road towards Cullen Manor which was just outside of Forks.

Cullen Manor was the one place Bella hadn’t been in awhile. She hoped that someone was at home and her main hope was set onto Edward being there. But she had a feeling he wasn’t and that Alice had told him that she was heading there. If it had been her heading down to La Push then she was sure that Edward would be behind her right now but since he was aware where she was heading; or so she thought he was, he probably wouldn’t turn up at all. In exactly 14 minutes, Bella had arrived at Cullen Manor. She parked the truck just outside and hopped on out after turning off the engine. She slipped the keys into her pocket and bounded up to the front door, pushing it open with her hand. It was quiet inside and nothing was really moving. Bella bit her bottom lip and wandered into the living room to see if anyone was there but low and behold, it was empty. Next stop was the kitchen but before she reached the kitchen, she spotted someone sitting on a stool. Bella looked hopeful that it was Edward but after gaining her proper focus, she realised that it was not at all Edward and was someone whom she didn’t know. She made her way in and bit her bottom lip even more. ‘Erm, sorry to bother you.. I didn’t realise anyone was home.’ muttered Bella, shifting around to stand nearer the other side of the kitchen. She studied the woman for a moment, trying to work out who she was but nothing at all hit her. The silence really made Bella feel quite awkward but she didn’t exactly know what to say. For all she knew, this woman was an intruder.
