daisy dahlia emerson
SEVENTEEN YEARS OLD . HIGH SCHOOL JUNIOR . DAKOTA FANNING
-------------------------------------------------------------------
this here is daisy dahlia emerson. she's seventeen years old and a junior in high school. she is the younger sibling of apple arley emerson. the two girls are extremely close and have been their whole lives. so first i should probably tell you a bit about their history. they were born in san fransisco, california to marley and david emerson. shortly after daisy was born, the couple had quite a few marital and financial problems, which ultimately resulted in david taking off without a word and leaving marley to raise the girls. their mother, marley, desperate for money and rather depressed with herself, took up several extra jobs, some of them not being exactly legal. she began selling drugs, as it made a lot of money for the family to live off of. it became a problem though, once she had gotten herself addicted. by the time apple was seven years old and daisy was four, the girls were pulled from their home by a social worker and placed into the foster system. they moved from various foster homes and group homes, and were finally returned to their mother's care when apple was thirteen and daisy was ten. they lasted a year and a half there, but were removed by a social worker once again. from there, they continued to be shuffled to different homes, some with other kids, some without, but they always remained together up until apple held her sister back from being taken in by foster families. so, when apple was sixteen years old and daisy was thirteen, apple promised her sister that she would find her again, and allowed the social workers to separate the two of them so daisy could get placed in homes where apple wasn't exactly welcome. once apple had aged out of the foster system when she turned eighteen, she went looking for their aunt, whom they had really never had contact with. she figured it was worth a shot and she might be willing to help them out a bit. lucky for them, their aunt ainsley was well aware of their existence and had received a few baby pictures and such from their mother marley despite not really having ties with them. ainsley was willing to loan apple money to help support herself until she could pay her back, and because of her legal connections, was able to gain custody and adopt daisy. so now daisy is seventeen years old and is living in santa monica with their aunt. she and apple can see each other as much as they want and apple's apartment isn't all that far from where daisy lives. for the more in-depth history, you can see apple's application here.
the only real requirements of the character is that the pb is dakota fanning and she's seventeen years old, a high school junior. the sisters also need to be extremely close. basically, apple has always been rather motherly toward daisy, and they look out for each other. the personality of the character is entirely up to you. the name, i suppose, is negotiable, but i'd prefer if the two girls both had somewhat odd names. the requirements for the roleplayer are that you must be active, at least on three or four times a week, you must be willing to thread and post at least 300 words. you must also be willing to use the in-character chat. i'd prefer if you had aim/msn but it's not a requirement. if you're interested in the character, please post here saying who you are, give a reason why you want the character and a roleplaying sample would be nice. please don't pm me if you want the character, as i may be on other accounts. if you have any questions though, feel free to pm or ask for tisse in the cbox.
