3. Who are/were your parents? My parents are not dead, not divorced, nor with any plans to do so. They’re not druggies or drunks. They love each other. My dad is Jeremy Streyer, and he’s a milkman. How cool is that?!! My mom is Jennifer. Don’t ask why they didn’t give me a ‘J’ name. I don’t get it either. She used to make costumes for movies, so it’s really cool. She makes the BEST Halloween costumes for me and my friends. She also very much an environmentalist, and she supports every random cause that she can.
4. Do you have any siblings? What are/were they like? I’m an only child. Sometimes I wish I had a twin brother. How cool would that be? We could wreck havoc on the world? But nooooo, I didn’t get one.
5. Where do you live now, and with whom? I live in Reno. My parents moved not long after I was born. And yes, I’m seventeen, so I still live with my parents. I’m not moving out until I go to college. And I still don’t know where I want to go.
6. What is your occupation? I work at the little bookstore downtown. They sell mythology books, and old books. I love it, because on my break, I can get a book, and curl up in the back, and just read.
7. Write a full physical description of yourself. You might want to consider factors such as: height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, and any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks. I’m five foot two. Yeah…I’m seventeen. And short. I hate it. My friends call me midget. I don’t know how much I weigh…my mom saw some documentary on teenage anorexia, and threw the scale out. My hair… I like my hair. It’s curly. Not Shirley Temple kinda curly, but curly, and I like it. It’s dark brown. I’m not allowed to dye my hair. I told you my mom was an environmentalist. My eyes, blue. Nothing special. Hmmm…I just wear jeans and t shirts. I don’t care about labels. I just grab things from my closet. I don’t have any tattoos. Again, it’s my mom. Scars…I have a little bump on my left hand from when I crawled into some broken glass when I was a baby.

9. Do you have any allergies, diseases, or other physical weaknesses? Erm…I’m not allergic to anything. I’m anemic. That means I don’t have enough iron in my blood, so I’m pale. Oh! I also have a really bad immune system, so I get sick a lot.
10. Are you right- or left-handed? I’m right handed.
11. What does your voice sound like? What kind of question is this? Do you think I record my voice or something?

14. Do you have any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics? Not that I know of. I squeak when I’m surprised. If you grab me from behind, it results in a squeaky sound. This has led to the nick name squeaky.

16. What is your earliest memory? When I got sick when I was really little. I had to get a shot, and I flipped out. I hate needles.

19. Where did you learn most of your skills and other abilities? My parental units. Or friends. Eh…and school.

My parents influence the things I do. Mostly because they still tell me what I can and can’t do.
29. What do you consider the most important event of your life so far? Being born. Ya know, that was kind of an important day.

I don’t believe in regretting something that once made you smile, or something that you did once, because at that time, it was exactly what you wanted.
33. What is the most evil thing you have ever done? I don’t do evil things…I have no one to do evil things to…

53. In general, how do you treat others (politely, rudely, by keeping them at a distance, etc.)? Does your treatment of them change depending on how well you know them, and if so, how? I’m nice to people, whether I know them or not. If it’s with my parents, I can be over sarcastic, but hey, I’m seventeen.

66. Do you tend to argue with people, or avoid conflict? Erm… I choose my battles. If it’s something that I’m really passionate about, then yeah, you bet I’m going to argue about it, but if it’s just something really little, then it’s just easier to walk away.
67. Do you tend to take on leadership roles in social situations? Nah, I sit back and let someone else take charge. Then I just worry about doing what they need me to do.

Okay, now that I’m done with the character description, the plot line of the story I want to use her for. She has a stalker, but he’s killing people, trying to get her to fall in love with him. He’s threatening all the people close to her, until he kidnaps her. He forces her to become his wife, and then has an idea that if he kills them both, they can be together forever in death. So he kills her, but then when he goes to kill himself, he can’t bring himself to do it. So her ghost comes back, and kills him.
