Be sure and include their relationship with parents and any siblings.</strong><em>Faith is a Navy brat.  Her parents were both enlisted and she was born on a Navy base in Guam. It was hard moving about and gaining then losing friends but her family was close and she learned a lot about the world that she wouldn’t have had the chance had her parents had other jobs.  She has lived in Europe and South America, but her parents transferred back to the states when she was ten years old. Faith’s home life was great when her parents were home, but their duties took them abroad and those times were lonely even when other families on the base stepped up to help care for Faith.  It was during this time that her parents began sending her to summer camps so she could be around other kids her age. Things took a turn when Faith’s dad was killed in action overseas.  Faith was a daddy’s girl and his death hit her hard.  Her mother was still on active duty and just wasn’t always able to be there for Faith which made their relationship deteriorate even further. </em><br/><strong>Describe your character's school-life. Are they doing well? What is their relationship like with their teachers and peers?</strong><em>Faith was a model student until her father died when she was in high school.  From that point on her grades suffered.  She turned inward and only cared about her art until that couldn’t sustain her either and she just kind of gave up on everything.  Socially popular, but self-isolating and destructive.  Faith became kind of a cold bitch.  Snarky and bitchy and cruel, sustaining her place in the social order because it allowed her to take her pain out on others.  Her value coming from her status more than her art or her personality</em><br/><strong>Describe your character's relationship to the stuffed animal that they brought. How did they acquire it? Did they want to bring it? Are they proud to show it, embarrassed to have it, or something else?</strong><em>Coral the Dragon was the first stuffed animal her father bought her when they moved to Naval Base Coronado.  Faith was still full of life and creativity.  She was rainbows and unicorns and dragons and believed whole-heartedly in magic and fantasy. This was supposed to be where her family was going to set down roots, retire and raise their daughter.  Everything had gone to plan for years until it didn’t.  Coral reminds Faith of that world. Where magic and fantasy existed and her dad was still alive. Coral is a constant reminder of what was and a source of pain, but she can’t seem to make herself get rid of it.  Her mom stuffed Coral into Faith’s luggage without her knowing it. She is already embarrassed to be shipped off to summer camp at her age, she would be even more embarrassed if anyone saw that she needed a stuffed animal to give her comfort.  Image is all Faith feels she is now and Coral represents everything she pushed away to achieve her apex social status. </em><br/><strong>What is the one thing that will make your character most home-sick while they are away?</strong><em>Home doesn’t really exist for Faith.  At least she feels like it doesn’t.  She has never properly mourned her father and lashes out at her mother.  Love is the key to unlocking her grief and realizing home does exist. Faith hasn’t allowed herself to love or be loved in any way since her father died.  She believes home is hurt, even if that belief is utter bullshit. One she uses to protect herself from having to feel that kind of loss again.  </em><br/><strong>What is the one thing your character be happiest to hopefully 'leave behind' while they are away?</strong><em>Her “friends.”  Faith’s attitude assures that her peer group is toxic.  She doesn’t realize that she is the source of that toxicity, but she knows deep down that it is there.  You can’t trust people that are waiting for you to slip up so they can tear you down and take your place.  Leaving those toxic relationships is a relief she won’t admit to, or realize right away, but removing those poisonous ties allows her room to breath again.</em><br/><strong>What is your character's favorite campfire story and why?</strong><em>Welcome to Camp Wildwood! It's Dragon's first day, and his buddy would LIKE to show him a good time. But Dragon doesn't seem to fit in with the boys and girls. He overturns the boat, ruins the puppet show, and even sets the tent on fire. Then, just as his buddy is about to give up, Dragon comes through in a pinch. <br/><br/>Faith would never admit this is her favorite campfire story and would probably say it is The Big Toe (https://scary-stories.fandom.com/wiki/The_Big_Toe) but the story of Dragon’s first day at camp is everything that Faith is, just buried deep inside. There is a creative, vibrant girl that can be awkward and goofy and filled with wild stories and ideas locked away. Dragon’s First Day pulls at that sense of wonder and craving for acceptance that Faith dearly desires.</em>
