Name: Laken Rose Cullens
Age: Seventeen
Year: Seventh
Appearance: Everyone wishes they could be someone else. No one is ever truly happy with themselves, there is always something we all wish we could fix. Everyone always tells Laken Rose Cullens they wish they were her, she always tells them to be care what they wish for. She herself isn't very fond of her looks, though everyone else seems to be rather fond of them.
With almond shaped eyes that she always thought looked slightly Asian, Laken's eyes were a vivid blue. She didn't like them, not even as they changed. Her color of eyes varied between the vivid blue that stuck out like a sore thumb and a gray-blue, a mellow version of the vivid color. They could be any color in between, and that was annoying to her. It was like her eyes were unpredictable, which is found a hastle.
People were fond of being skinny. They liked to not eat and brag about how little they've eatten that day. They like to call it a diet, but Laken calls it tourture. She is lucky enough to not have to watch what she eats. With a naturally high matabolism, she thin, almost to the point where people will ask her if she's eatten that day. Eatting like a pig doesn't help the poor girl, nothing will stay on her bones. She is a skinny girl, something people wanted about her, something she'd gladly give them.
Lips where another area that the girl wished she could have removed. They were big, full, and beautiful but it made her seem like she was always on the verge of tears. Her lips were in the pouty state by nature and she would much rather have that gone. It was rather annoying to have people ask if she was alright all the time. She was perfectly fine, it was just her lips said otherwise. What a neusence.
Something people judged you on was your skin. The paler the better. If you had pale skin, it must mean you're smart, funny, pretty, and perfect. Well, Laken must be all of those times ten. Her skin was a milky tone, very sensitive to the sun. She couldn't wake up in the morning and not put some lotion with suncreen in it on. It was very important or she would be pink by the end of the day. People would kill for her skin, and she'd gladly let them have it. She has so much she wished she could change about herself.

History: Born on December 24th, Laken Rose Cullens was born into a family with problems that magic did nothing but ruin it further. A child of a witch and a muggle would be fine later in life, when it wasn't a time of close minded people who thought witches and wizards were evil. When you're a child of a witch and a muggle, that tends to lead to problems later on in life.
When she was born, her mother didn't tell her father that she was a witch. It wasn't until her father caught her mother using magic to help her out with the baby did he find out. In a fit of rage, he beat her mother, threw Laken around just to get her out of the way. He was furious for they were a family of popularity and for his wife to be a witch... it was unfathomable.
After that night, Laken's parents were constantly in an argument. Her father would start them mostly, over her magic, and would sometimes go as far as to hit her mother. Having no such thing as devorice, they were stuck together. The fact that her father didn't turn her mother in was a sign that he really did truely love her mother, he just wasn't happy that she was a witch.
Once Laken reached the age of five, her mother had another child, a girl, named Arianne Louise, leading to a whole different thing. Her father's beatings got worse. In hopes of stopping her father's anger, Laken would behave herself, always, and never break a single rule, a habit that is still engrained in her. Also, Laken took care of her baby sister when her father was gone and her mother too depressed to do it herself.
Again, another child was born. Blaine Rogan was born when Laken was eight years old. Another sibling for her to take care of and the beating and arguing would just get worse. Laken had almost taken on the role as mother to her siblings. No one in the town of Salem knew what was going on. Mrs. Cullens hid the marks, Mr. Cullens acted like he loved his family. No one knows what goes on behind closed doors when everyone is go good at lying.
Finally, at the age of ten, Laken's extreamly wealthy aunt came and got the children. Mrs. Cullens had finally wrote a letter to her sister. She was done. Mrs. Cullens did not want to take this from her husband any longer. Ten years was enough for her. Her sister, Aunt Thea, came and got the children, taking them away to be closer to the magic school, Laken almost ready to go there herself.
From that day that she was taken out of her house, Laken hasn't hear from her mother or father again but is happily living away from them, starting her own life now as a witch.

{ the RULES }

She cannot stop herself, no one else can. It's like a compolstion, to follow the rules.

If it's an idea, and she thinks it to be wonderful, she will do anything to see that idea come to life. If it is a person that catches her interest, she will persue that person until she is happy with their relationship. If it a song, wither she wants to write it, listen to it, or analyize it, she will not stop until her goal is accomplished. Some might call this driven, because she does it with everything in her life.
{ the ORGANIZER }
Things have to be in order or Laken will go crazy. She is very picky about how she looks; everything has to look just right. Her nails can't be dirty, her clothes have to be clean, crisp, and tighty. If her hair looks messy, it's because she purposely made it that way, to look that exact way. It's like OCD, only better. It goes hand in hand with her love of rules, it's something she can't help. It's a quirk in her personality, it's how she rolls; neat, clean, and organized.
{ the INSECURITIES }
On the outside this girl might look well put together, very confident of herself, and a big too full of herself at times, on the inside she really isn't very sure of herself at all. Laken acts a certain way, looks a certain way, and talks a certain way around the people she does not trust enough to see all of her. A lot of what she does is a facade, a wall, an act, to keep herself safe. She doesn't want people to know how much she truely doubts herself, how low of a self-esteem she really has. It's all part of her; the rules, the organization... everything is to cover up that she really doesn't know what is going on, it cover that she really doesn't like herself.
