Multiple helix and single lobe piercings in both ears.<br/><strong>General Style/Overall Appearance:</strong>Avery keeps things simple. That is to say, she doesn’t have a keen sense for fashion and generally errs on the side of band t-shirts, things that are “comfortable”, and whatever happens to strike her fancy at the moment. Needless to say her look isn’t exactly cohesive. The word eclectic comes to mind.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Insatiably Curious | Rebellious | Spontaneous | Lighthearted | Stubborn | Tenacious | Loyal | Competitive<br/><br/><strong>Biography:</strong>Avery was born to a Musician and a Historian, Scottish and Danish respectively.Both were employed as professors at American Universities and for a brief time life was idyllic.<br/><br/>Alas, Avery lost her mother when she was only four years old, leaving only vague memories of a kind face and beautiful voice. Indeed, as Avery grew older, particularly as her personality manifested a mulish and independent streak, her father remarked often how much she had begun taking after her mother. He told her all about the beautiful, compassionate, wonderfully stubborn woman he had married, loved and lost.<br/><br/>But it wasn’t until Avery was old enough to sing that her father knew just how much of his wife had come to reside in his daughter. At first the two of them simply sang songs rather than have bedtime stories, but as Avery grew into her voice, it became clear that she’d inherited her mother’s talent for evoking emotion with her singing. Seeing how deeply the similarity to her mother affected her father, Avery made every effort to develop her talent and by her teenage years she was a local celebrity.<br/><br/>She might have continued along that line for many years, content to sing to her father and at the occasional sporting event, but it was not to be. When Avery was 16 her father met, and married, another woman. In time, and graced with a more conciliatory nature, Avery might have one day gotten over the vague sense of betrayal she felt on behalf of her mother, but her father’s complete devotion to a new woman… one she could only feel antipathy for... led to a rift between them.<br/><br/>Avery started to act out. She and her father stopped singing together. She and her step-mother fought constantly. And while she could never quite bring herself to stop singing, she began to explore edgier musical outlets to suit her rebellious mood.<br/><br/>When it came time for her to go to college, her father wanted her to go to Julliard but she wanted to spend her early twenties backpacking in Patagonia. They compromised on the University of Southern California. It had both an elite music program and a laundry list of lively and diverse...extracurriculars. It also had the added bonus of being a continent away from her stepmother.<br/><br/>Avery has spent the intervening two years at home and abroad learning about who she is and what matters to her. She’s had a series of lackluster relationships with college boys that always leave her vaguely wondering if there is any intelligent life on campus. She started a punk band named Så våd (Danish for “So Wet”) that she quit when it became so popular on campus that it threatened to become a full time job. She joined clubs at random and pledged three sororities on a lark (turning all three down, ultimately). Drinks have been drunk… oats have been sown... research papers written in a matter of two hours. In all, she’s had a blast.<br/><br/>Recently, however, an exciting new opportunity at Dellban University has surfaced.<br/><br/>Something tells her that everything is about to change. Something really breathtaking is just over the horizon and the world, to her, seems on the cusp of spilling its secrets. Who knows what they will be?<br/><br/><strong>Fairy Tale:</strong>The Little Mermaid<br/>(https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/The_Little_Mermaid)<br/><strong>Special Talent/Gift/Trait:</strong>Avery has exceptional vocal talent. She has a broad, versatile vocal range and technical aptitude borne of years of intense study, but it’s her ability to evoke emotion within her audience that distinguishes her.<br/><br/><strong>Face Claim:</strong>Karol Queiroz
