Age and D.O.B.: 15 June 21, 1997
Sexual orientation: Straight

Member group: Newport High School; Junior

Face claim: Madison Pettis
Distinguishing features: Her father is African-American and her mother is Irish, Italian, French; that being said she was blessed with a lovely permanent tanned appearance and thick dark curly hair. She is short, five foot even. She has these deep brown eyes that are usually bright and happy and a great smile, which you can usually see brightening up her face and eyes. She still has her Texan accent; it's sort of a southern twang.

Likes: her pets and animals in general, her bother and sister, working in the vet clinic after school, getting good grades and staying out of trouble, music, dancing, sugar, working out, keeping her hands and mind busy, and the beach
Dislikes: thinking and dwelling (even if she does it constantly), people who are mean to their animals, rude people, people who talk badly about soldiers, no longer having her father, feeling lazy or unproductive, gloomy days, not knowing anyone except her siblings and mom.
Strengths: following the rules, smiling all the time (even if she isn't happy), working with animals
Weaknesses: injured or sad looking animals (all animals in general don't let her fool you), talking to people especially guys, not letting herself get close to potential friends
Fears: losing anymore of her family, not making any friends, not graduating high school, and not figuring out what she wants to do with her life or at least what to go to college for
Habits: tugging on a curl when she's nervous, and taking in abandoned animals
Secrets: she misses the army "brat" life and she's afraid of getting close to people because when she does she either moves or they die.

Overall Personality: Parker can be a hoot to be around, she is a sweet girl with a great personality. She loves to joke around and is great at teasing and being very witty. She is a huge animal lover; mess with her animals and you poke the bear. She is a fierce friend, if you're lucky enough to have her as a friend then she'll always have your back. She loves her family; she is a permanent live in babysitter for her mother, which causes her social life to be iffy at times. She loves her little brother and sister, and she loves teaching them different things. Her mother is like a superhero to her; since her father's death her mom has changed (in a good way) and even though she's heart broken over his death, she has been able to make a new life for her family in a new place. Her love of animals comes from her mother and she will literally bring home a puppy or kitten that she finds, anywhere, home. That's how she's gotten her two cats and one of her dogs. She's an incredibly sweet to a fault, but this could get her trouble someday. She's trusting with people and will generally believe everything they tell her. Don't let her sweetness fool you, she is one to hold a grudge and will argue for something she believes in. She is one of those girls that does her homework on Fridays and would rather hang out with her family. She loves to shop and is a girly girl; she will wear dresses and skirts, but she will wear jeans and short, but you can bet she'll be stylish. She loves her curly hair ad you can bet that most of the times it will be large and in charge. Even if she's sweet however, she can be shy. She has somewhat of a hard time letting people get really close to her. She can make friends easily, because of all the traveling they did, but because of all that traveling she's had to leave dear friends behind and it made it hard for her to let people really get to know her.

Overall History: Parker Nicholls was born to, two very loving parents. It was just the three of them for ten years. But, before that her father was in the Army, he served at Fort Bliss, Texas, which is where Parker was born. Her mother was a student in vet school at the time of her birth. They moved around a lot after her mother finished her schooling. They lives in Germany and Spain for a while, then in California and North Carolina. Moving so much caused Parker to be very good at meeting new people, but hard to get attached. you could call her spoiled, she was the apple of her parent's eyes. She did dance, t ball, soccer, and even learned to ride horses at one point. She was smart, excelling in mostly reading and writing, but worked hard to understand the subjects she didn't. By the time she was ten, she was joined by a little brother, who she adored. They were living in Texas again at this point and life was happy. She was a very happy healthy ten year old girl. She loved dancing, sports, and animals. When she was thirteen the happy family of four was joined by another girl. Parker was a great big sister, always wanting to hold and cuddle her brother and sister, always paying extra attention to them and playing with them. Life was perfect, but a year later, her father shipped off to overseas on a deployment. He had been gone for almost a year, she was 14. He came home for her birthday and then it wasn't even a month later and they got the news that he had been killed in action. The family was devastated, she had been a daddy's girl and she was heart broken. They were evicted from their home because they had no more connection or anyone linking them to Fort Bliss. They moved to town for her to be able to finish her eighth grade year. They stayed in a town near by until the middle of her Sophomore year and then her mother decided to move them to Newport Beach, California where she had been raised. They moved at the end of school year, and now Parker is going into the summer of her Junior year of high school and turning 16, still really not knowing many people in town or at school.

Walking down the side walk Isabella’s mind was going nowhere; not where it should be going at least. She was going to dips and spins, when and where to do her pirouettes. The chatter of the handsome man that walked with her meant nothing. She tried to keep her distance from any man, well any man that could have potential. This one, his name was Daniel, he had been her dance partner since she started Julliard, they were both set to graduate at the end of May, he was the only guy of the twelve that got in when she did that was taller than her and he was strong and muscular to be able to lift her when need be. There were many girls in their classes that swooned for him and they called her crazy because she hadn’t made a move on him since she started dancing with him. She couldn’t let him get tangled into her life like that, he had no clue about who her family was and what they did for a living. It wasn’t like he hadn’t brought it up either, several times, and in May he would be leaving with a dance company that would travel around the world performing, he had begged several times for her to come with him, that they were too much of a perfect team to stop now.

It’s almost a daily occurrence now, even though they still had a few weeks left of break, they were planning the end of year recital. The two of them had been picked as the two seniors to choreograph the ballet recital. That’s where they were coming from now, they wanted to have it planned out and perfect before classes started again. They were close but not close enough, not for Daniel’s liking. All of the dance students had to perform; they got to choose which one to do though; ballet, tap, or contemporary. And Daniel was slowly becoming a big pain in her side with the closer they got. They had just gotten done with a four hour practice. Bella desperately needed coffee and to get away from the man that walked easily next to her, he tried a few times to grasp her hand but she carefully stuffed her mitted hands into her coat pocket. As they neared her beloved coffee shop she slowed her pace. He was trying to convince her to let him walk her home for once, but she knew better, plus she also knew for a fact that he lives twelve blocks in the other direction, he simply went out of his way. It was sweet, but she couldn’t allow it. ”It’s alright Daniel.. I wanted to get some coffee… I’m .. meeting my brothers for lunch here in a few minutes.. I don’t think you want to confront them about anything, they can be quite.. Aggressive.” She said with a smile. But she knew it was all the same. She was sure her brothers could easily kill someone without it ever leading back to them or they could simply get someone to take him out. It was all a lie anyways; her brothers would never meet at a coffee shop, not like this at least. It was the easiest way to get him to accept another failed attempt. She gave him a smile ”I’ll see you tomorrow bright and early.” She said softly, seeing the pathetic look on his face. She leaned in and gave his cheek a friendly soft kiss before she walked into the welcoming coffee shop.

She loved the place; she had been coming here for as long as she could remember and the baristas now knew her, her orders, and somehow knew what she wanted now hat days without her even knowing. She gave the small blonde girl a smile when she saw her holding a cup off out to her. ”I don’t know how you do it.. I desperately need this coffee and you Annie are my hero.” She said with a small playful smile as she paid for the coffee and at the last second decided on a blueberry muffin that was three times bigger than her fist. The girl gave her a look ”Aren’t you in training? She questioned. Bella smiled at her with a small laugh. ”Yes.. but I swear he’s been dancing me to my bones, my feet are literally going raw, that hasn’t happened I years…we just practiced for four hours and we’re going to be doing that until classes start again.” she said with a small laugh. Most of them knew about Daniel, since he followed her around like a lost puppy dog and there were times she had to force him to leave her alone, today was just one of those lucky days when he seemed to give up for the day and walk away instead of torturing both of them. She moved to a window seat, one she would sit in when she didn’t have a book to read. She stripped off her jacket and laid it on the back of the chair. The chair was deep and comfy, her legs curling under her and sinks in to it sipping the hot beverage. Even if it sounded weird, she liked to sit here and people watch. She always wondered if there was anyone out there that had an even more screwed up life than she had.
