CARLYNxxEVADNExxDONOVAN![]() x WithxxanxxINTRODUCTIONxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ➷` ♛ NAME ➠ xCarlyn Evadne Donovan ➷` ♛ NICKNAME ➠ xCarlyn, or Evadne if people want to tease her. ➷` ♛ AGE ➠ xSeventeen ➷` ♛ GENDER ➠ xFemale ➷` ♛ HEIGHT ➠ x5' 5" ➷` ♛ WEIGHT ➠ x112 lbs ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ StartsxxwithxxthexxPASTxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ➷`♘ BIOGRAPHY ➠ xCarlyn Evadne Donovan might have a fancy name, but it was not because she was born in a royal family. Honestly, she didn't know why her father actually gave her name; she never got to ask him. He was constantly at work, leaving the house at six and coming home past midnight. To Carlyn, the only memory of her father was merely plush toys he put beside her bed every Christmas and birthday. After she was seven, she no longer got new plush toys. Her father passed away, and the family financial situation got worse. Her mother had to take up more jobs, and when the babysitter couldn't make it she had to crash in the neighbor's house -- his house. When the babysitter could come though, Carlyn stayed at home with her. Iris, the babysitter, was like an older sister to Carlyn. She also happened to be a fujoshi. While watching over the little girl playing house with her dolls or reading fairy tales, Iris busied herself with her shounen ai (not yaoi, because she didn't want to get caught reading such profane material by the little girl or Mrs. Donovan). The curious little Carlyn eventually managed to bug her babysitter until she got her hands on the manga, and she fell in love with it. To the little girl who idolizes a "prince charming", what could be more perfect than TWO "prince charming"? Eventually, her mother found out about Carlyn's new obsession when she was already nine. Carlyn was playing with her dolls, and she had her two tattered old Ken dolls kissing each other, the Barbie dumped aside abandoned. It was too late to scold Iris -- Mrs. Donovan had stopped hiring her for several months since she couldn't afford it -- or get rid of the obsession, and so Laura Donovan could only watch as Carlyn grew up into an obsessed yaoi addict. Despite living across his house and having talked quite a lot with him, Carlyn was not in the same school as he was. She went to a low-class public school, whereas he, with his brain, managed to go to a better school with higher standards. Of course, this did not stop her from being infatuated with him. When she heard that he earned a scholarship in Aurora Academy, she studied hard; simply so she could get in, and preferably get a subsidy for the school fee. All this to be with him, her biggest obsession. After endless nights of studying and terrible pile-ups of dark circles under her eyes (which she hid under the thick fake glasses), Carlyn managed to pass the entrance exam to Aurora. She was nothing short of thrilled when she delivered the news to him. As soon as she got in to Aurora, she found that the school was indeed extraordinary -- including the stash of yaoi in the library, the students and especially them. They used to hate them together, until one day in junior year his attitude changed and he showed interest in her. NothingxxtoxxCHANGExxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx➷`♕ PERSONALITY ➠ ♛『 Obsessive ■ ■ xxtowards anything she wants and likes, be it him, yaoi, or even the vintage print of a Midsummer's Night Dream she eyed at the second-hand bookstore the other day. When Carlyn gets obsessed, she will have the thing running through her mind nonstop, even disturbing her daily routines and activities. Zoning out daydreaming about her obsessions is not a rare case. ♛『 Insecure ■ ■ xxto the extent that Carlyn worries about anything concerning herself. You can see her frantically studying in the last minute before tests, throwing a tantrum after the test because she felt like she did bad, and finding out that she get a pretty good grade, if not excellent. The insecurity is also the reason why she likes to wear glasses despite having perfect eyesight -- in other words, to look smart in front of him. ♛『 Envious ■ ■ xxCarlyn hates to admit it, but she'd give almost anything to get in their social circle. This trait, combined with her insecurity manifests in her hatred towards them, especially her, who is on top of it all. She was scared that he, who had always been on her side all this time, would join them and fall for her instead. ♛『 Easily impressed ■ ■ xxwith the things around her. Mostly the reason why Carlyn's also very envious. She notices things around her, and things she doesn't have impress her, later on brewing envy within her. Things like glamor and beauty amaze her -- and as she always longs for them, she also knows that she's not exactly fit for such things. ♛『 Empathetic ■ ■ xxmore than she wants to be. Carlyn plots numerous evil schemes in her head to topple her down from her high and mighty throne, but could never bring herself to do them simply because she was too soft to do such abominable deeds. Every time she imagined something bad happening to people she doesn't like, she places herself in their shoes and feel bad for even thinking of dooming other people. Although at times she curses the trait, it makes her a great friend as she could understand well how her friends feel when they pour their heart to her. ♛『 Imaginative ■ ■ xxIf daydreaming were a profession, Carlyn would be a billionaire. She was born with the attention span of a goldfish and the imagination of a novel writer. She gets distracted extremely easily by her own fantasies. It doesn't help either that she's addicted to smut -- if people could hear her thoughts they would have accused her of being a pervert (to which she would deny and insist that it's "erotica", not perversion). ♛『 Unorganized ■ ■ xxalso known as The Most Messy Person Humanity Has Ever Seen. Carlyn is a complete slob. She throws her things everywhere and has not the slightest feeling of regret or discomfort when stepping in to a room with barely no floor visible. She would still feel comfortable as long as she can find her stuffs around, which she can do most of the time after several minutes of digging -- after all, she dumps them all in the same lump in the middle of her floor. The only exception to this trait is her yaoi collection, which she stashes neatly in a box under her bed, away from prying eyes, ordered based on title and date of issue. That, and the folders in her hard drive. Other than that, watch your step around the room, assuming there is enough floor to move around there. myxx*xxSOULxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ➷`❀ LIKES ➠ xxxxx ♡ xxThe library, its secret stash of smut mangas and yaoi doujinshi, and all the other books within. xxxxx ♡ xxHim, more than any other person in Aurora. xxxxx ♡ xxHim, as a frend -- although not as much as she likes him. xxxxx ♡ xxSushi, green tea, Japanese food. Yes, she's obsessed. ➷`❀ DISLIKES ➠ xxxxx ☹ xxAny activity requiring any physical stamina xxxxx ☹ xxHer, for stealing his attention away from her. xxxxx ☹ xxThe royalties. Such elitism, arrogance, and sickeningly overflowing fortune. xxxxx ☹ xxHorror and slasher movies. Really, why would you be entertained by such frightening things? ➷`❀ QUIRKS ➠ xxxxx ★ xxCarlyn isn't really myopic; she just liked to accessorize herself with her collection of glasses, mostly so she could fit in the bookworm look and partially because she just likes how she looks with them. xxxxx ★ xxShe's an obsessive fujoshi, probably the worst Aurora has ever had. Her yaoi fantasies even make her suggest it to her male friends, namely them. xxxxx ★ xxIn her room lies a secret album of self-made doujinshi and self-written fanfiction she publishes over the Internet under an online alias. xxxxx ★ xxWhen feeling down, she would lock herself in her room and scream into her favorite pillow. PickxxyourxxFAMILYxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ♀ Laura Donovan ➠ xCarlyn is never mommy's daughter, but it doesn't mean that they're on bad terms with each other, although they are quite distant. Their relationship is pretty alright, although Carlyn barely tells Laura anything personal about herself. Laura is also a busy single mother, and amidst her long work hours she barely had time to pamper her daughter. ♂ Richard Donovan ➠ xShe can't remember her father much; he passed away when she was still seven years old and she never knew any other father figure. ChoosexxyourxxFRIENDSxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx `•.¸¸.☆ ➠ Him: He is her best friend. They used to share the same fiery hatred towards them, but even after he changed, they still remain as best friends. Being in the same year and class with him, they share a lot of time together, be it discussing schoolwork or simply chatting around. Although it's clear she wants him as more than just friends, her insecurity prevents her from making any move, and treats him normally. `•.¸¸.☆ ➠ Him: She knows that he likes her, although she herself is oblivious to exactly how much he likes her. She regards him as a good friend and a fellow otaku, sometimes a victim to her yaoi fantasies, but no more than that. Ever since he changed, he has been her confidante, the person who she trusts with her secrets and hidden feelings. They spend hours in the library talking every day. `•.¸¸.☆ ➠ Them and her: She hates them and she envies them at the same time. She doesn't interact much with Them -- in fact, she put all her efforts to not have anything to do with them. Carlyn sat on her bed and looked around the dorm room. It was catastrophic, or at least mostly so. Clothes, the freshly laundered and the used ones, all piled up in the end of her bed with no clear distinction. Books and magazines and pencils were strewn across the floor. She was so sure that her roommate would protest again as soon as she arrived, but it wasn't a problem to her. Just like the mess, she was used to the screaming as well as the rant. Hey, at least the floor is clear now, she thought. It was half-true, actually. The floor was clear on the other side of the room, nearing said roommate's bed -- Carlyn cleared it after she dragged her out of her bed and threatened to consficate her beloved cardboard box earlier in the morning, before she left for morning class. Carlyn had no morning class, so she grudgingly obeyed her roommate and cleared the room, leaving her own side messy as usual and the other side neat and clean, free from the invasion of socks and her other belongings. At this point, the room looked like some comical edited picture of "before" and "after" in some cleaning supplies advertisement. She got off the bed and knelt on the floor, picking several books and ballpoints and jammed them in her already-full bag. Biting her lip, she checked the mental checklist in her head. Satisfied with her items for the day, Carlyn left the room and moved to the library. She still had one free hour before the art class, and she intended to finish her sketch project before the period starts. She remembered the previous week's art class -- her teacher insistently rejected her draft for a yaoi sketch and told her to make something "less immoral". She almost yelled, "YOU HOMOPHOBE!" but decided otherwise; after all, she needed the grade and she wasn't sure if she could still get an A after accusing her teacher of being a fascist. So instead of lashing out her disgust, she swallowed her words and humbly ripped the draft into small pieces before taking out a fresh drawing paper. After the incident, Carlyn practically forgot about the project -- that is, until early this morning. She rushed to the library, hoping that either one of her friends was there so she could beg them to become her model. She normally wouldn't need one, knowing her experience with drawing doujinshi's, but the sketch was supposed to be realistic and not anime-styled -- another reason why she wanted to choke her art teacher. Blood rushed to her face when she realized that there was a possibility of spending the next hour sketching him, her best friend and long-time crush. With anticipations, she pushed the library door open, and stepped inside. Edited by Carlyn.Donovan, Jan 23 2011, 05:32 PM.
