She's got several tattoos, her most obvious one being the string of multicolored stars that starts from the front of her right shoulder, goes diagonally across her back and then wraps around her side, finishing at her left hip. She's also got a big ribbon on the back of either one of her thighs, a bundle of fireworks on the outside of her right thigh, naughty things (gun, grenade, knife) on her left upper back and nice things (angel wings, heart, flower and another ribbon) on her lower right back.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Star can definitely be a handful to deal with. She's very emotional, impulsive, and her fuse is often quite short. She's very opinionated and stubborn, and it's one hell of an accomplishment to ever make her admit that she's wrong. Filtering herself is not something that Star does very well, so if there's something on her mind, she'll almost always say it first and consider the consequences second. Also in the same vein, her actions are primarily governed by her emotions, so she's not the person to see about making calm, rational decisions. Star is also very competitive and abhors losing, and she's not always the most gracious in defeat.<br/><br/>On the other hand, for anyone who can look past her considerable flaws, she's also an extremely kind, caring and generous person who'll do<em>anything</em>for a friend. As far as she's concerned, they're her family. And as long as she's in a good mood, she's very lively, excitable and loves to have fun and crack jokes, so she can be a joy to be around as much as she can be a pain.<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong>Star. Her mother was probably high when she decided to name her. The woman had either been high or trying to get high the entire time that Star had known her, so it wasn't a very big stretch to think so. Her father had left before she was born. At least she had her brother Chase, who was three years older than her. He'd always looked after her as her best friend and almost even a father figure. As they grew older and their mother went even further off the rails, Chase even dropped out of high school so that he could work two jobs and keep the lights on and food on the table.<br/><br/>That would have given Star the chance to graduate had she not fallen in with the wrong crowd and started to go down the same dark path as her mom. She dropped out of school without ever telling her brother and lied and pretended that she was still going while he worked his ass off for nothing. Less than a year before she would have been supposed to graduate, Chase decided to enlist in the army so that he could maybe save enough money to help her pay for college, and after four years of service the military would pay for his college as well.<br/><br/>Star begged him not to go, feeling horribly guilty about what she'd done...but she still couldn't bring herself to tell him. She carried on the lie even after he left, even when they spoke on the phone, telling him that her graduation had gone fine, that she was working to save money and looking into potential colleges. Little did she know that she'd never get the chance to come clean and that the next time she saw Chase, he'd be lying lifelessly inside of a coffin.<br/><br/>It broke her world and greatly accelerated her downwards spiral towards rock bottom, which was where Jason would find her when he returned home and tried to get in touch with her, since she was the closest tie left to his best friend. Star was living with some guy in a trailer park. He was a drug dealer, pretty much the lowest of the low, and he smoked and snorted more product than he actually sold, but he shared it with her and he had a roof for her to sleep under, so she slept with him as long as he could give her those two things.<br/><br/>Thankfully, Jason had her cell phone number and called first, so when they met up, Star was sober and able to pretend like everything was fine, practically slipping back into the same lie that she felt so horrible about a second time without even thinking. They kept in touch loosely, and she kept up appearances with him...until she came knocking on his door in the middle of the night a few weeks later with a black eye and blood pouring from her nose and a broken lip.<br/><br/>Star had to come clean, and after having realized that night just how badly she needed to stop what she was doing, she begged Jason to help her fix herself.<br/><br/><strong>Current Situation:</strong>She's doing much better after having spent the last six months living with Jason. Star knew that he'd been getting into racing ever since he came back from the military, and because she wanted to feel like she was keeping a small part of her brother's legacy alive, she told him that she wanted to do it too. He helped Star get the project truck that Chase had been working on before leaving into drivable shape, and after she'd gotten some experience behind the wheel and some spare cash from working at her new job, they tacked on a few upgrades.<br/><br/>As they both got more and more into it, Star was unsatisfied with the rate at which they were improving, so she made the suggestion of renting a house together with all of the other amateur racers that they knew so that they could live and breathe it every day and accelerate the process. With his help and input from the others, the plan took shape and now they're ready to work their way up to the top of Tampa's extremely competitive underground racing scene.<br/><br/><strong>Car:</strong>Rat rod style 2001 Chevrolet S-10<br/><br/>(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/2/23/Star-S10.jpg)<br/><br/><strong>Relationships:</strong><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Demi Etherson</div><div class="spoiler_body">     </div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Juliana Dang</div><div class="spoiler_body">Juliana was the one person that Star was the most wary about living with. They'd never really had a problem before when they'd talked briefly at a few races, but it was mostly Jules and Jason doing the talking. To Star, Jules seemed like the snobby little princess type that she'd never gotten along with, so she was actually opposed to accepting her into the house when Jason suggested it, but he vouched for her pretty adamantly and persuaded her.<br/><br/>Somehow Star got stuck with Jules as her roommate, but by some miracle, they've actually gotten along quite well so far and have been gradually warming up to one another. Star's initial impression couldn't have been further from reality, since Jules turned out to be a really sweet and caring person, <em>and</em> she brought along the cutest little cat, whom Star immediately fell in love with. So far, she's pretty much had to swallow her words since she can hardly find anything to fault Jules on.      </div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Blake Richardson</div><div class="spoiler_body">Star would go out to the bar where Blake worked from time to time, but nothing particularly noteworthy happened between the two of them until one night where Star got her ass kicked at pool by Clint. She was low on cash after Clint took most of it but wanted to get wasted to forget about her multiple and embarrassing losses. Running out of funds when she was only half drunk, Star (probably wrongfully) accused Blake of putting too little alcohol in her drinks, and when Blake disagreed, Star pretty much just called her out on being a terrible bartender. The girl actually stood up to her and fired back with some choice words of her own, so after that incident, Star made it a point to piss Blake off in any way that she could every time she visited that same bar.<br/><br/>A couple of months later, Star stumbled across some losers vandalizing a pretty cool looking 300zx on her way out from the bar. She'd always had a certain level of respect for cars thanks to her brother's obsession with them, and it had grown by leaps and bounds ever since she'd gotten into cars and racing herself, so she intervened without hesitation, and also without thinking. Probably not the smartest move, but luckily Blake came out of nowhere and the two wordlessly decided to team up and work together. Even more luckily, the guys vandalizing the car were drunk enough that their coordination was terrible and they got scared away pretty easily, so the situation didn't escalate.<br/><br/>Only after that did Star find out that the car belonged to Blake, which came as a surprise. Having just gained a good deal of respect for one another and found out that they shared a common passion, they quickly went from rivals to good friends, although the competitive edge between them remains ever present and they certainly don't see eye to eye on everything.     </div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Jason Sullivan</div><div class="spoiler_body">Pretty much her adoptive brother. He helped her out when she needed someone and has been watching over her ever since, which was of course made easier by the fact that they've been living together for half a year before moving into the team house. Star tries to look after him too however she can. Fights aren't uncommon, especially with how much time they typically spend together, but they usually calm down and make up pretty quickly even after some of their more heated arguments. <br/><br/>She'd really like to help Jason get through his PTSD and other issues but feels unqualified to do so and really has no idea where to start or how to do it, so she's too afraid to bring it up. Star also worries that something bad might happen when he gets another one of his episodes and that she won't be able to stop it, but again, she has no idea how to broach the subject without upsetting him, so she's keeping it to herself for now.     </div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Adriano Guillermo</div><div class="spoiler_body">Adriano is the only one of the four guys in the house that Star didn't really get to meet prior to everyone moving in. He seemed like a cool guy that would be pretty fun to have around, but once she saw him shirtless for the very first time by the pool, she instantly became his biggest fan. She definitely wants to get to know him better, and she kind of tries to impress him whenever he's around.     </div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Clint Shaw</div><div class="spoiler_body">Their first meeting was at the bar where Blake worked. Star had been on a winning streak at pool over her last several visits, making a nice little bit of extra income from hustling random guys, but then she made the mistake of thinking that Clint was just some stupid tourist and that he'd be easy money. After losing the first game, she got quite pissed and demanded a rematch, insisting that she'd just been unlucky. Four games later and 100 dollars lighter, she was finally forced to grudgingly admit defeat.<br/><br/>She was attracted to Clint from the very beginning and intrigued by his unique style which she didn't come across every day, but when he tried to hit on her afterwards she still shot him down harshly just out of spite because he'd schooled her at pool. Still, behind her veil of bitchiness, Star thinks he's pretty cool and respects him, the harder part would be getting her to admit it.      </div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Marcellus Smith</div><div class="spoiler_body">Marcellus started off as one of Jason's friends, but the three of them ended up hanging out together a few times and Star developed an interesting rapport with him. She'd always had an easier time getting along with guys over girls, and with Marcellus it soon turned into a full blown bromance. They watch one another's backs and even wing for each other when they go out!     </div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Mr. Muffles</div><div class="spoiler_body">Future husband.     </div></div>
