• PIERCINGS & TATTOOS, Well got the nose, ears and belly button pierced and as for the ink cross on her inner right wrist, Chinese symbol on her neck and flower on her inner right ankle.
• FASHION SENSE, Tending to dress to accommodate her mood Mia’s style is never really consistent with the trends or what’s ‘hip’ or ‘hot’. No in fact since a good portion of her money (89.45%, she calculated) goes to paying off school and her apartment plus she has to eat, it leaves little for her to spend on clothes. She shops at vintage stores which suits her perfectly fine as she finds unique things that she won’t find anyone else wearing or things that she can make into something better. But if you had to put a label on her style as most do it would be best described as hippy/rocker chic. Loose clothing, such as tunics and sweats or just plain old baggy t-shirts and sweats is her usual dress for lounging and studying or if she’s just feeling lazy. However her favorite item of clothing is her vintage leather jacket which she can pair with her many pairs of skinny jeans or crazy leggings. She can always been seen with jewelry, rings, bracelets, necklaces, earrings in fact she is usually one of everything. With having three piercings that’s jewelry right there that she wears daily and when going out she’ll funk it up adding bolder pieces that catch people attention.. She loves to wear high heels, for the fact that it makes her taller and just because she thinks they make anyone look damn sexy, plus they make her normally short and stubby legs look long, lean and sexy. Although she loves attention and looking a little sexier she really doesn’t give a damn what others think of her style, it’s her own and she’s the only one who has to care.
• DISTINGUISHING FEATURES, Her smile is what usually catches others attention
• PLAYED BY, Kelly Clarkson

• DISLIKES, Cutesy stuff, surprises, being ignored, being told no, being underestimated, waiting, giving up , being interrupted, peaches, bananas, organization, planning ahead, being talked down to, attempting to write music, mornings without coffee, hot weather, moisture, drama, gossip, smoking, drugs, rap music, stretching your ears, things going in her belly button, wet willies, ridiculously loud bass, one night stands, getting wasted, axe, to much cologne or perfume, people assuming she's got a stick up her butt because her family is very religious, math.
• TURN-ONS, guys who blush, nice smile, not afraid to do something crazy, spontaneous, musicians, nerds, confidence, will let her win, won't let her always win, competitive
• FEARS, wasting her life, working in an office, being tied down, bugs, bats, mice, the world ending in 2012, disappoint someone who is counting on her
• SECRETS, was saved at the age of ten and lost her virginity at thirteen, fears marriage
• HABITS/QUIRKS, jiggles her legs when sitting for to long, taps her fingers when bored or impatient, bites her nails, bounces on her heels when nervous, can't do a performance without doing her ninja cheer with whoever she is performing with.
• PERSONALITY, Probably one of the more annoying things about Mia is that she's very sarcastic; really it’s hard to get a serious answer out of this girl because you don’t know if she actually means what she says. Most of the time she doesn’t and if you know her you can tell when she’s being serious and when she’s being sarcastic. However if you’ve just met her then you could get quite annoyed with her constant sarcasm or it could even hurt your feelings, which of course is not her intention. Sarcasm is her way of being funny, instead of cracking jokes every ten seconds she feels more comfortable almost mocking what others say. It’s also a subtle way she almost challenges people, trying to bring out the under meaning of what they say and if they have the balls to actually say it.
She never has a plan. Ever. Plain and simple, you could say that it’s because she prefers to live on the ‘wild side’ or that she’s trying to be all ‘rebellious’. Actually it has nothing to do with that, mostly she doesn’t plan because when she has a plan then she has obligations and expectations to meet, and therefore a chance to fail and a chance to disappoint someone who could be counting on her. That is something she can’t handle. Also if she had plans she’d probably forget them most likely, either just by plain bad memory or by getting distracted. It tends to happen a lot. Tending to also not look before she leaps Mia will pretty much do whatever comes into her brain at the time without taking a second thought about it.
Her worst trait most likely, she’s as stubborn as a mule. Just trust me when I say that when her mind is made up, there is pretty much a zero percent chance that you’ll be able to change it. Whether she’s wrong or right it doesn’t matter, even if she knows that she’s wrong she’ll still try and convince you that she’s right. A point of pride and just her plain old stubborn nature. This makes her spontaneity even harder to deal with, because she just does what comes to mind, if you try to tell her it’s a bad idea she’ll have a hundred reasons and excuses as to why she should do whatever it is she wants to do. This also ties in with her being very independent, she doesn’t want to accept help from anyone and will continually say no to help until she finally does whatever it is she’s doing on her own. Or until she’s alone so that she can quit in private and leave without anyone saying “I told you so”.
Having a very competitive nature Mia is not one to lose to; she takes it pretty personally and gets pretty huffy and pouty when she does. Although she’ll accept any challenge with a smile when she loses the smile still stays but she does become rather less social and more curt and defensive when it comes to conversation. She doesn’t like to lose at anything from cards to thumb wars to a race around the block its all the same, she accepts challenges as if they’re nothing but inside she’s already planning on how to win and although she rarely cheats if the person she is competing against is being particularly obnoxious then she will.
Always with a smile on her face Mia meets new people easily and makes both friends and enemies equally due to her in your face approach and attention grabbing personality you either love her or hate her which is fine with her; she doesn’t expect to be beloved by all and knows that she’ll rub some people the wrong way just as some rub her the wrong way. However you get on her good side and you’ve made a very loyal friend although she doesn’t like to have responsibilities put on her for the fact that she doesn’t like disappointing others but you need her and she’ll be by your side in a heartbeat. She wears her heart on her sleeve and most will see that from the first minute they talk to her.
Always being high energy, you’d think she had ADD or something, the fact that she hates to sit still and can’t stand waiting for anything more than pretty much three minutes makes her not the best person to go on a road trip with. She’s the one in the car that every thirty seconds is going ‘are we there yet?’. No matter how many times you tell her to relax or wait her turn it won’t help she’ll be antsy until you reach your destination or she gets what she wants; and she’ll let you know it. She pesters and prods and pushes your buttons until she gets what she wants or she’s simply distracted by something else.
Born and raised in a very religious family plays a role in Mia’s life but not as big as you’d think; while she believes in god and goes to church and prays and reads the bible it’s not as if she goes around preaching to everyone that they’re going to hell. No, in fact there are many things in the bible she doesn’t agree with and even if she does and she sees others practicing them she won’t say anything as it’s their life and their decisions. In fact she’s so laid back about it that most people don’t believe her when she tells them about her family and how she was raised and sometimes when people find out before they even meet her they assume that she’ll be a stick in the mud and just tell everyone they can’t do something because it’s a sin. However growing up with religion has given her very strong morals and does make her regret more as she feels she’s letting her church and god down, but she sticks to her morals tooth and nail and won’t let anyone tell her otherwise.

• HISTORY, Mia Grace MacDonell was born on October 13, 1986 in a home birth, her parents didn’t like hospitals already having their first child Mia's older brother Seth in Helena three years prior. They figured it seemed more personal to have a home birth and there was no chance of taking home the wrong baby; because that happens so much these days? She was two days early and was her families first little girl and her parents couldn’t be happier, both having grown up on farms in their small town of Columbia Falls, Montana they now had a child of each, a son to take over the family business and a girl to become the perfect housewife. Her mother Emily Mcphee was just that, the typical ranch wife, she did all of the cooking and cleaning, and all of the indoor chores making sure that the food was on the table in time for when the men came in from working all day. Her father William Mcphee like their mother had grown up in Columbia Falls and was a natural born cowboy, he’d been doing it since he was a youngin’ and couldn’t imagine doing anything else, never mind his children doing anything else.
Yes they were a happy little family, going to church every sunday and saying grace before every meal and saying prayers before going to bed. And the training started early Mia helping her mother indoors from the age of two and Seth helping her father and the ranch hands outside since he was five, although since they were both to young to do any real help they liked to think that they did. Really it was more for the laughs the adults got out of it. When Mia was five and Seth eight their family got introduced to their fifth and final member of the family, Hailey; now Hailey wasn’t planned, Emily and William had planned to stop at Mia but things happen and well Hailey did. Although their father was disappointed he didn’t have another son to help her mother was happy to have another girl around; but just because he didn’t get a son didn’t stop William from taking Mia out into the yard and teaching how to do the outside chores as well.
It was a pretty good system, Hailey and Mia helping out their mother indoors in the morning, then after lunch Mia would go outside to help her father, brother and the ranch hands out with the cattle. She started barrel racing when she was eight, after her family had gone to the town rodeo to watch some of the ranch hands bull ride, and they’d got the tail end of the barrel racing event and she became hooked. Her father couldn’t have been happier that his daughter had taken interest in some sort of riding sport but was equally disappointed that Seth hadn’t taken any interest in anything, in fact even back at the ranch when doing chores it was always a battle. Mia immediately became her father’s favorite, him teaching her how to barrel race and her entering in her first competition at the age of nine and getting third.
The night that she won third was also the night she discovered her true passion; music. In celebration of her ribbon Mia had been granted the power to choose what the group had for dinner, and she decided burgers, salad and smores for desert. Well that night around the campfire during the smores one of the ranch hands Charlie who was sixteen brought out an acoustic guitar and began playing. Mia became so captivated and awed by the music that she immediately asked him to let her try, he did and after that first strum (even though it sounded horrible) she knew that she had found her calling. From then on she begged Charlie everyday to teach her guitar and he did, slowly but surely in between chores and after dinner he would teach her until she could play a full song.
It was tradition in their family to be saved at the age of ten, both of Mia's parents had been and so had Seth and so now it was her turn. While she of course was faithful to her religion and her views as she got older her views on some of the things the bible said began to change. By the time she was thirteen she could play every chord and mastered every song she learned, at first she learned to play by ear but Charlie said she’d never truly get anywhere if she didn’t learn to read music. It was one year later that she ignored her morals for the first and last time, Seth was going to a party out at one of the kids in towns barn and even though everyone knew everyone in Columbia Falls Mia wasn't aloud to go because there would be alcohol and her mother thought it wouldn't be appropriate for a fourteen year old to go to that kind of party. Well Mia didn't take no for an answer, she waited until her parents had gone to bed and she snuck out to the party where she tasted alcohol for the first time and in fact it was a first for a lot of things. The first time she'd had alcohol, the first time she got drunk and the first time she'd had sex, yup her and one of the boys who was also hammered did the nasty. Luckily Mia didn't get pregnant but still when she realized what she'd done she was disgusted with herself and promised to save herself for marriage. She never told anyone not even Seth even though he'd been at the party he'd never noticed she was there because he was drunk himself.
At first her father thought that music was just a hobby for Mia, but soon barrel racing began to take the back seat to it and that didn’t make him happy. He didn’t think that she should be focusing on music but rather on the ranch and her barrel racing, because she was good and if she wanted could probably make a career out of it. However that wasn’t what she wanted; by sixteen she was writing her own songs and entering local talent shows, and listening to all different genres of music, preferring to play rock to country although it would always be one of her favorite genres. With all of the money she’d won from barrel racing Mia eventually was able to afford her first acoustic guitar, her baby as she liked to call it. Throughout all of this her brother dropped a bomb as well, after never being interested in taking over the farm Seth had always expressed more interest in fashion than rodeo and when he was nineteen finally told his family the truth. Seth was gay and his dream was to go to New York and become a fashion designer. Well to William that was completely unacceptable and he came unglued on Seth, calling him all sorts of names and disowning him on the spot telling him to get out. Seth having expected this was already packed and would head to New York to pursue his dream; before he left though he told Mia to follow her heart and not what their father wanted and that if she needed him, he would be there for her.
Well after Mia saw the bravery that her brother had shown, she knew that she had to follow her dream and now music was her life. Night and day it was all she could think about, always writing songs in school in the back of her notebooks and humming tunes as she did her chores. Her mother although sad that Seth had left supported her son and Mia in their decisions and was in fact the one that gave her, the application to McGill University in Montreal. She applied and everything was left to hope, the day she got her acceptance letter she couldn’t contain her joy, jumping up and down and screaming she couldn’t believe it. That night she told her father and instead of screaming at her he simply stood up, walked into the living and sitting in his favorite recliner chair turned on the tv and watched in silence. In fact he didn’t say a word to either Mia or her mother for two weeks, before they finally confronted him. He told them that he had lost two of his three children, Hailey being the only one that truly loved riding and wanted to become barrel racer was his only child left the way he saw it and that both Mia and Seth had been the biggest disappointments of his life. That hit Mia hard, always having a need to please her father ever since they became close during her barrel racing and building up her fear to disappoint others.
The day Mia left for Montreal her father just sat in the living room watching tv saying nothing once more. Before she left she made sure that she went in there gave him a big hug and kiss even though he didn’t return it and made sure to tell him that she still loved him. What she didn’t see however after her mother, Hailey and herself had left was her father crying about his first little girl leaving. It was a fair trip, having to drive to Helena to be able to fly directly to Montreal. Her first arrival at the school she was in awe, not having much money she immediately got a job at the local bar and record store, her mother was helping by helping pay half the tuition and contributing a little to her apartment, however still it was tough always trying to make ends meet. However the present Seth sent her as a congratulations present made it all worth it. It was a few weeks into classes and Mia was already stressed and re-thinking her choice, she came home that day to find her brother waiting in her apartment holding a brand new red telecaster custom electric guitar.
She’s been playing the open mic nights at the local clubs for few years now, still hoping to make it into the big time. She still talks to brother and mother on a regular basis but hasn’t spoken to her father since she left, although she regrets it but hopes that one day he’ll be able to accept both Seth and herself.

[/size][/font]• NAME/ALIAS, Cass
• OTHER CHARACTERS, N/A
• ROLEPLAY SAMPLE,If anyone knew how to piss someone off it was Heather and it wasn’t as if she did it by accident oh no. She just kept pushing and pushing until she found that right button to set that person off, and for Hayden she’d found. Oh boy had she found it. The threat that she’d made wasn’t something that she was completely sure would get a rouse out of him and even if it did affect him she didn’t at all expect him to react so strongly; she figured his expression might change for a second letting her on to it but then he’d just play it off like he was bored like nothing else was new. But oh no, she’d really hit the jackpot.
Hayden’s transformation only took a split second, one minute trying to make her back off by hinting at her with his power but now she’d unleashed the wrath of Hades and even though she fancied herself Wonder woman she’s be lying if the sudden change that he’d created didn’t scare her a little bit, but more than that it angered her. How dare he do this, and even though he put off the ‘I don’t care’ attitude she just knew that deep down Hayden counted on his powers to intimidate those around him when need be and right now that’s exactly what he was doing. The other part that angered her was the fact that he expected her to just take it and walk away, like a dog with her tail between her legs like a coward like that girl would do when it came to confrontation. Well he was one of those people that knew that Heather Wedlock was not one to take intimidation well.
Quote:
”I don’t care what you think, I don’t care about you. But if you touch that girl, I will come after you and I will shrivel you. I promise every single word I’ve said.”
Her breath came out in cloud as the temperature dropped and she couldn’t help but shiver slightly at the sudden chill in the air, however she wasn’t focused on that all of her attention was on the freak in front of her. His skinny bony finger that was attached to an equally bony and gross hand pointed at her and his words were powerful of course not like the usual Hayden voice they’d all come to know and threatened her right back. Of course she had her remarks ready and waiting and she would’ve voiced them had Mr. All mighty hadn’t decided to try and force her to her knees, bowing down to him in submission. She was fighting it tooth and nail never ready now or ever to submit to anyone let alone anyone at this school. Besides he might be the reincarnated of the King of the Underworld but she was a reincarnation of the Queen of Olympians and that was of course one of the things that she’d gotten from Hera; pride and sense of royalty as it were.
Quote:
”Am I clear?”
All she could do was glare, her anger threatening to bubble over, she herself had not used her powers yet in their little conflict but oh she was itching to however she just wasn’t sure she could break through the force he was inflicting. Even though he had distorted the hallway it was still consciously her mind where they were and was in tune with every object that was in this hallway her power vibrating with anticipation. It didn’t take long though for the barrier to shatter because Hayden caused it to, the shadow that he sent to her leg shriveling it to that of an old woman’s like he did to the blonds arm back in the cafeteria was the action. Her eyes for a split second looked down and immediately registered what he was doing. Once again trying to intimidate her but her anger now had boiled over to an extent and letting out a scream a garbage from the hallway went flying just inches from his face of course breaking his concentration and allowing her to stand once again without having to fight his power before the garbage continued past his face and hit the wall shattering it instantly.
If it was possible to physically glare daggers out of your eyes or if the phrase if looks could kill would work for then Hayden would be one mangled corpse because she was fuming, absolutely and positively furious that words couldn’t describe it. However she still answered his question “Inescapably” she said her voice surprisingly calm but still there was not denying the venom in it, she barely registered the arrival of Skylar as her eyes and attention were still directed towards Hayden and slowly she took steps towards him until they were merely inches apart and she dropped her voice low so it was only him that could hear her words. “But know this, you’ve just showed to me your weakness” she said knowing that even the great Mr. Underweld would be frightened slightly at this prospect. “Big mistake” she said and there was no way the threatening tone in her voice could be missed but now she wasn’t threatening the girl directly it was more Hayden and her, whether he would choose to react again this time more strongly was his choice. But he had to take in the fact that they were still at school and therefore his actions should they prove costly to Heather wouldn’t go unnoticed by the staff and of course couldn’t go unpunished.
Now taking a step back she turned so that she was facing sideways to both Skylar and Hayden and now looking back and forth between them spoke so that they could both hear “Now just so both of you know, just because you’re part of the Big three doesn’t mean you can’t be beaten.” she started making sure her words were loud and clear “Threaten me again like this and everyone will pay” she finished looking directly at Skylar. Him being the goody two shoes of the bunch, trying to please everyone and knew he would be the most affected by that statement, Hayden would probably care less about everyone except for that girl but she was included in that everyone. Once last glare at both of them making sure to make eye contact for a little bit longer than necessary before she turned on her heels and walked towards the end of the hallway now having said everything she wanted to.
