[/color][/b]. I've been jumping around this world for 23 now, but only found this body 4 ago. I was led to the crossroads by Google. If you listen close enough you can hear just this one for now. Lastly, I'd just like to use this opportunity to tell you my favorite episode is Pilot The Vampire Diaries and my favorite character is Stefan Salvatore . Oh and I believe that, "I'm a junkie for the supernatural creatures.".

Overall Personality/Appearance[/color]: Avril is cocky and speaks her mind freely and is not afraid to do so. She tells you exactly what is on her mind without even sometimes thinking of the consequences and if what she has to say will get her into trouble. That little tendency has gotten her into trouble numerous times and it still does even though now she does think through things now that she is older. She is the type of girl who expects something to be done right. She has the attitude that says it is my way or the highway. She is known to have a temper and will tell people what is really on her mind. She does have more patience for her friends and those she loves.

She learned at a young age the art of self-reliance. She strongly believes that in order to survive that you have to look after yourself and that you cannot rely on everyone to do things for you. Her aunt and uncle were not the best role models for her they never showed her what it is like to have a family that cares until she was eighteen and ran away from home. She met Luke Towers, who was good friends with Avril’s parents and had been keeping an eye on her whenever he could.

Despite the whole ‘tough girl act’, Avril does have a protective side when it comes to Luke. She will do just about anything to protect him. If it had not been for him taking her in, she would probably be living with her aunt and uncle or out on the streets fighting for her life

Avril is a human female that stands at a height of about 5’8” and weighs about 130lbs. She exercises once a day to keep herself in shape. She has shoulder-length wavy brown hair that she wears either up or down and she has brown eyes. Her skin tone is tan. Her ears are pierced and she usually wears a pair of earrings and she has a tattoo of angel wings and a skull in the middle of her back.

Avril does not usually dress up unless she is forced to do so. She prefers shorts, jeans, shirts, and tennis shoes over being dressed like a Barbie any day of the week. When she is at home she can be found wearing shorts and a t-shirt. When she goes out and about she dresses casual. She wears a nice pair of blue jeans, a black t-shirt, and a pair of tennis shoes.

When it comes to dressing up, she prefers to keep her attire as comfortable as possible. She will wear a simple dress that isn’t too fancy and a pair of heels that aren’t too tall. She wears a little bit of make-up and will fix her hair up nice. In other words, the girl believes that a girl does not have to dress up in order to look good. She will just stick to her casual clothes only.

Overall History[/color]: ***Early Childhood***
Markay Sheffield was a police officer who was served in law enforcement in Mystic Falls for fifteen years until one day she met another officer name Mike Harper. The two fell in love and got married despite the fact that Markay’s brother, Maxwell was against her marrying another police officer. The couple continued about their daily lives in Mystic Falls as a happily married couple. Three years after Markay and Mike married; Markay gave birth to their daughter Avril Daniella Harper.

Avril's father continued working as an officer until he had a mild stroke which caused him to have to stop working. Her mother was a stay at home mother who taught her the basic fundamental as in reading and writing until she was old enough to start school. Her parents were caring and loving toward her and always made sure that she was taken care of. When she became of age for school her parents enrolled her, but Avril did not care too much for it because she didn't respect the teachers, instead thinking that she knew more than they did.

***Life With the Sheffield’s***
When Avril was ten-years-old her parents were killed in a car accident. Avril was staying a friend’s house the night they were killed and the police took her to her uncle's house in Atlanta. Maxwell Sheffield and his wife, Claudia had a son named Cain Sheffield and he was three years older than Avril and he treated her badly, just like his parents. Cain's parents thought Avril was always a burden to them, Maxwell didn't approve of the way that his in-laws had raised her, not being strict enough and allowing her to be mouthy. While they never abused her physically, they would almost constantly yell at her and when they weren't, they treated her with emotional neglect.

Avril was not exactly the perfect child that the Sheffield’s expected to receive and they were not exactly the best parents in the world. They never treated Avril with warmth and affection or made her feel like she was loved or ever wanted there. In Avril’s opinion she was in her own personal hellhole. She felt neglected which led Avril to take care of her own self. After school, Avril would often roam the streets at night. She befriended a man name Kai Raymond, who taught a self-defense class and in the end he offered to teach her the basics.

***Leaving the Sheffield’s and Getting a Shot at a Better Life***

When Avril was eighteen-years-old, she finally had enough of the treatment from her aunt and uncle and worked up the nerve to leave. As she walked down the street, an officer stopped her and demanded to know why she was out so late. Before she could answer, a police officer name Luke Towers told the officer to let the girl be and that he would handle questioning the girl. Little did Avril know that this particular officer was a good friend of her parents. All these years while Avril was living with her aunt and uncle, Luke kept tabs on her to make sure she was all right and keeping herself out of trouble. When he heard the way they had treated her, Luke offered her a place to stay so she could get on her feet and make a life for herself.

The two went to a coffee shop to get a cup of coffee and a donut and Luke had asked Avril why she had run off from the Sheffield’s. Avril told him that she had finally had enough of the way she was being treated and that she could not stand it anymore and that she decided that she needed to get out of from under their roof. Luke let Avril live with him and his wife in their apartment. Avril was shocked at first and then she accepted it.
A few months later she decided to go to college and major in business. Lately she has been goofing off.

Roleplay Sample[/color]:

Atlantic was not exactly the safest place to be walking the streets by one’s self alone at night. No matter what time of the night it was. If one wanted to go somewhere after dark it was best to have someone accompany you on the streets such as a friend or parent. Of all the night’s Avril had to choose this night to be out past curfew to go buy a comic book that she had been saving money up to buy.
“You there…stop where you are,” said police officer Nathan Crest who was dressed in uniform pointed his flashlight at Avril who was walking along the side-walk, minding her own business. Since when in the hell had it been against the law to go out for a walk in the middle of the night? Had things in Atlanticgot to the point of being weary of civilians? Or was it just Avril’s lucky day to be hassled by the police?
‘Great,’ Avril thought to herself as she stopped in her tracks just as the officer shined his light on her. Avril put her hand over her eyes to shield the light from blinding her senseless. A billion things were running through her mind. She could have just made a run for it, but she knew that would be stupid and the last thing she wanted was for the cops to drop her off at Luke’s house and tell them that she had been breaking the law. Avril sighed softly as she pulled the hood off her head. “How may I help you officer?” she asked politely.

“I’m Officer Nathan Crest,” said Nathan. “Why are you out here wandering the street by yourself? Don’t you know that it’s dangerous to be out at night without having someone accompanying you?”

Before Avril could reply, Lieutenant Luke Towers came walking down the street and spotted his partner talking to the young woman, who he knew was Avril and chuckled. “What’s going on, Officer Crest?” he asked as he crossed his arms across his chest and looked at his partner. “Evening Lieutenant Towers,” said Nathan as he glanced at Avril. “I was just asking this young lady what she was doing roaming the streets by herself.”

Avril looked at Officer Nathan and Lieutenant Towers and resisted the urge to roll her eyes at Nathan for being a prick. “I was at a comic book store picking up a comic book,” she said as she pulled out her bag and receipt from the store and showed them to Officer Nathan. Luke merely chuckled. “Nathan you have got to stop going into ‘bad’ cop mode on people when you see them on the street,” Luke chided as Nathan rolled his eyes at him. Luke looked at Avril and smiled. “No harm done,” he said.
