» OVERALL PERSONALITY:
when she was a younger child, carter was one of the happiest children in school, always running around with a bright smile on her face as she tried to make as many friends as possible. sure, it didn't work as often as she liked, but at the tender age of seven, it rarely mattered. there were still hundreds upon thousands of people that she had not yet met, and surely some of them would befriend her, right? such was her mindset for many years, until she reached junior high and found out that everyone around her was far different than she was. her outgoing personality was out of place, isolating the girl further until she shrunk back into a shadow, rarely approaching anyone again for fear of being rejected and seen as a freak. in her mind, it was easier to pretend she didn't exist then to run the risk of being beaten up for being different.

but when she was raped by her father at thirteen, something in carter changed for good. she no longer laughed or smiled, unless she was trying to hide something in a conversation with someone else. and of course, the loss of her virginity caused her to become self conscious of her body, feeling that now that she had been defiled by the man who was supposed to protect her, she would never be loved by anyone else because she was not whole and pure. her clothing became looser, but she always wore long sleeves and pants, hiding the scars of her beatings from people's eyes as she sunk deeper and deeper into a depression that has slowly begun to take control of her life.

» PARENTS: sophia (deceased) and darren jackson
» SIBLINGS: none
» PETS: a rescued rat, apollo
» SIGNIFICANT OTHER: none» OTHER IMPORTANT PEOPLE: kathryn woods, her mother's sister
» HISTORY:
when darren and sophia met in highschool, people could swear that the old saying of love at first sight was actually real. they began dating in their sophomore year, and though they fought occasionally like every other couple did, they managed to last the final three years of highschool without breaking up or cheating on one another. upon graduating from highschool, the pair went off to seperate universities, but managed their long distance relationship through many emails and weekend meetings. by the time he graduated from law school, darren knew that sophia was the girl he was meant to be with, and asked her to marry him on christmas eve as the snow fell around them. to his delight, she accepted and the pair were married within the year.

for nearly two years the pair tried to have a child, only to be told by doctors that sophia was unable to conceive, yet the pair did not give up, and shortly afterward it was discovered that sophia was pregnant with twins. things went by with relative ease until the day of their actual birth, when complications and her fragile form worked against her. following the birth of her twin girls, the doctors came back with grave news that the first twin had not survived, and sophia was losing more than the usual amount of blood. she survived long enough to name her second daughter and then died in her husbands arms. heartbroken, darren took his tiny daughter home and did his best to raise her, despite his lack of knowledge on how to effectively raise a girl, and thus kept her at arms length. for many years, the relationship between father and daughter was cool, with the two of them hardly coming into contact with one another except with necessary.

but when she was thirteen, carter returned home from school one day to find her father sitting in his living room chair, drunk out of his mind with grief as he remembered the anniversary of his wife and daughter's deaths. in his rage at seeing carter, he hit her, threw her down the hallway into his room and raped her without a second thought. when he woke up, he was convinced that the entire ordeal had been a dream, but still felt that burning hatred toward his only child for causing the deaths of his wife and other daughter, and so beat her again, calling her a murderer. this continued for nearly three years, until his sister-in-law kathryn discovered the truth of what was happening to her neice, and so took her under her protective custody while she charged darren with child abuse. carter has yet to tell her about the rape, and cannot for fear of what darren might do if he ever found out.

in her attempts to make life easier for her neice, kathryn transfered her from carmel highschool to mckinley high, knowing that her neice had once sung. and with the hype of mckinley's glee club fresh in her mind, she cut a deal with principal figgins and begged for the help of mr. shuester, the glee club director, to try and break her neice out of her shell, and perhaps find out more of what happened to her while at the hands of her father. it is her hope that new directions can bring back the old carter, though carter herself merely attends to make her aunt happy, and has to date refused to sing a note.

» RP SAMPLE:

only once she was sure that she was safely concealed from the prying eyes of the castle did arianna stop where she was, in the midst of the trees and rocks that made up only part of the forbidden forest. yes, she was more than aware that this place was off limits to students, which is why she was so careful when she had come out there no to be seen by anyone else. the last thing she needed was to be caught and given detention, especially when her parents and brother would be notified of her sudden disregard for the rules. but she had to come out there. there was no other place in the school where she felt safe enough to practise the magic that had bothered her for many years of her life, to play with the very essence that had marred her otherwise perfect skin and forced the girl to be so self conscious of her image when around the other students.

fire.

that single word had shattered her entire world when she had been only six years old, dancing happily before her mother in the living room of their home. but when katie had left the room for only a moment, her daughter had lost her balance and fallen into the fireplace that burned so merrily in the hearth, the edge of her skirt being set ablaze before her very eyes as the flames slowly began to lick and burn her flesh. it had taken katie only a moment to register arianna's panicked screams, but by the time she had put out the flames, the damage had been done. arianna would forever be afraid of fire, so much so that she often took the long way around the common room table to get upstairs to her dormitory in the winter and curling up at the head of the bed to be as far from the heater as possible. but perhaps the biggest blow had been to her image of herself, for she now thought of herself as ugly and deformed, especially now that she was forced to associate with the girls of beauxbatons academy of magic. standing beside them, there was not one feature of her own that arianna liked.

the soft hoot of an owl from behind her startled the girl from her thoughts, causing her to shake her head of dark curls that had been pulled back away from her face as a safety precaution and slowly try to prepare herself for what she was about to do. the slender fingers flexed and tightened repeatedly over the wand she held in her hand, desperately trying to squash the voice in the back of her mind that told of its disliking in this idea. but she had to, she told herself. she had lived in fear for far too long.

taking a deep breath, arianna looked up into the darkness and slowly lifted her wand. "incendio." the flames burst from the end of her wand in a small spurt, moving with the slightest motion to create a small circle before her and light the air. it required all of her concentration to remain rooted to the spot and watch the flames move, willing them to stand in that tiny clearing and not lose control completely. but then again there was the hoot of that owl, now so close that it startled arianna. in an instant she lost all of the control that she had, and the fire that had been moving in that tiny circle before her spread out around her, creating the circle around her very body was that was far too close for her comfort. panic immediately set into her body, causing her to fall to the ground, absolutely petrified as she watched the redness move around her and slowly begin to heat her skin.

if ever there was a time when she wished jacob would come save her, it would be now.
