ZEPHYR ELYSE GREY
she got away with the boys in the place
Treat ‘em like they don’t stand a chance
how about we start with the obvious – what's your name?So hi, I’m zephyr Elyse grey. My name zephyr comes from the origin Greek. I don’t really know why my name was chosen. After my dad died my mom just wouldn’t tell me, she just said it was a close name to my dad, after a while I stopped asking so I can only guess. From what I’ve heard it was someone close to him, really close, that he named me after so that’s where my first name zephyr comes from. In all honesty I love my first name it unique, not many people have it which represents me since I’m a very eccentric person, my middle name on the other hand I’m not so fond of. So my middle name is Elyse, there’s no story behind it really except the day my mom had me she was watching this soap and the lead characters name was Elyse, and she was quite fond of that character and her will power, yadda yadda yadda. My father never agreed on my middle name which is why I have two, arcadia is my second middle name and that because it’s my grandmothers name, which make more sense than some soap opera star but whatever I’m stuck with it. My last name, well its quite obvious its my father’s last name so that’s why it’s mine.
how old are you? and is there a story surrounding your birth? anything interesting?So obviously I won’t remember anything about the day I was born but I can tell you about it from what my mother told me. I was born on May fifth, nineteen long years ago. The day I was born is actually my father’s birthday as well so for my family it’s not the best day, since my dad is dead. The day I was born my parents were at a surprise party for his twenty fifth birthday. So he not only got the surprise of a party but the surprise of a baby. Almost all the guests at the party were at the hospital being extremely close with my parents so my mother said it was a good day. She said when I came out everyone was surprised because I had a full head of bleach blond hair, just like my fathers. my step dad is the only dad I've know. and my mother, because my actually father is dead, she looks at my birthday as a menace which is whys shes so cold towards me.
how would you describe your personality?When people look at me I guess the first thing they notice is that I’m stubborn. It’s not like I need things to go my way and that’s it it’s just if I’m right I tend to stick to that and I don’t waver in anything I say. I take after my mother in that, when I’ve made up my mind that’s it, no one can change it. I’m really confident in my decisions and I take pride it that. Being stubborn makes me who I am and just because I’m stubborn doesn’t mean I’m a bitch about it. I just have certain views on things and because someone tells me its not the right view doesn’t mean I’ll change it.
I’m extremely competitive. In competitions, sports, anything really I get overly competitive. My dad is a lawyer and his life saying is don’t lose so in my house winning is key. I mean if I do loose I don’t take it bad or anything but that rarely happens. I sometimes get to the point in sports where their physical attacks, that’s what I call overly competitive I guess I let the competition get to me sometimes which I know is not a good thing but it seems the only way my parents are proud of me is when I win things which means I eliminate the completion and that’s just how it’s always been.
So even though I’m stubborn and overly competitive I’m a really loyal person. I put others needs in front of my own mainly because my parents are the opposite. I won’t backstab a friend like my parents do to their friends all the time, it’s wrong. My friends needs come before mine; if they are upset they come before anything. I guess I sort of believe in being the better person, the best person I can be even though I don’t have the best mentors. Either way I’m loyal to all my friends. They matter the most and I don’t think that will ever change.
So I guess people can say that I’m a tad secretive. I like to keep most things in my personal life hidden mainly because it’s no one business. There are aspects of my life that I feel don’t need to be shared with anyone really, I like them to stay locked up, which is sort of why I come off really secretive. It’s not like I mean to be, it’s just that I like my privacy, and people should respect that.
I’m extremely bubbly. I tend to be a very happy and bubbly person, especially when I’m not at my house. I treat life like a gift and that pretty much means make the best of it. I always look on the better side of things. I’m happy and hyper and bubbly normally, I don’t linger around the bad things in life, and instead I embrace the good things. Things just seem better if you look on the brighter side, which is why life is a great thing to embrace which is why I’m such a bubbly person.
how would you define "the good life"?The good life, hmm I guess for me it would be a life where I didn’t necessarily have everything material wise but I had a close family, a couple siblings, someone who really loved me. Growing up with everything has its key points but I’m not someone who lives for the materials I have I wish that I had a good family and that. I guess that would be the best life anyone can ever have.
if you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?If I could change anything about myself I think it would be my hair. At least physically, everyone loves my blond hair but I don’t get treated with the respect I should. If I could change something about my life I guess it would be my parents. I’d rather have two loving and caring parents and less money, than have the parents I have now and be extremely wealthy, most people would think I’m insane for that but when you live my life you’d understand.
what do you tend to like?theres a lot of things i like but i'll just list a few. fashion, boys, photography, friends, animals, parties, lanvin ballet flats, Christmas, people, brightly colored drinks, trying new things, teacakes, swing sets, adventure, white wine, high heels, sequins, the city, cotton candy, being her wacky self, comedy, kisses, making people laugh, all nighters, drunken rants, the beach, polka dots, butterflies, eyeliner, rebellion, life, vogue, the truth, volleyball, thunder storms, music, coco chanel, movies, romance, milkshakes, having fun, taking goofy photos, being home, chocolate, sleeping in, laughter, running, hot weather, the snow, dancing, food, sweet tarts, being strong, manolo blahniks, romantic movies, audrey hepburn, astronomy, grapes, sex, exclusive parties, bad boys, dancing, acting, plays.
okay, and what do you tend to dislike?everyone has hates, i'm no different i'll list a couple of th things that really annoy me. my parents, lies, beytral, arrogance, posers, prudes, people who think they're superior, men thinner then me, close-mindedness, cabin fever, having nothing to wear, dark blue jeans, crying, weak political arguments, weak arguments in general, bigots, paris hilton, insults, fake tanning, boring shoes, whiney music, anything emo, talking about school, petty rules, anything petty, being without the people i love, waiting in line, being left alone, losing my friends, judgmental people, death, tacky clothing, stuck ups, snobs, idiots, hangovers, annoying people, hypocrites, not putting a smile on people's faces, anything diet, being sick, animal abuse, suicide, camping, poser, haters, spiders, cheaters, fakes, boyfriend stealers.

Asthenophobia- Fear of fainting or weakness. Coulrophobia – fear of clouns. The last one Is probably my worst. Ever since I was little and I was chance by my dad in a clown suit I’ve been deathly afraid of them.
do you have any secrets?secrets, i only have one big one and that's the fact that my dad abuses me. physically, and I'm always scared that he'll take it to the next step, but he knows where to leave his bruises and its always places that are easily hidden.
how's your love life?Relationships, I guess for me I don’t really know what I want, for now I’m just doing the flings, the friends with benefits, the one night stands but that’s only because the right person hasn’t come along. So I’m single for all you boys who want to know. I’ve had boyfriends before so dating someone is defiantly something that I want to do I just haven’t found a person that I want to date at the moment so I guess that’s why the friends with benefits type relationships are all that I’m in. I've never been in love, at least not yet, i do believe it exists the whole point is the road to it, there will be hard times and i get that and sometimes people need it. but that's just how i feel.
if you were given a yacht, what would you name it?the "paradise driven".
what is your quirkiest habit, and how long have you had it?my quirkiest habit would be playing with my hair, i tend to always being twirling my hair or running my fingers through it, I've done it since i as little and its just something that comes naturally.
do you have any goals?So I have a lot of things I want to do with my life, short term goals for now well I guess just passing school. I’m a pretty hard worker so I guess with lots of studying and that I can do it. Long term goals are more complicated I guess, i always wanted to be an actress or a model, or maybe a lawyer like my dad, and i know if i fight for it hard enough i can reach that goal. I want a good career and it’s going to take some time I know but I will do everything and anything to get there. I guess once i'm done university all i want is to gain a name for myself and not rely on my parents, move out, find someone who loves me for me and not my money.
would you rather always lose or never play?i'd rather always loose because if you dont play the game, you wont ever have a life worth living for.
great. and now, could you give me an overview of your life? what's happened so far?So I was born in New York City, on May fifth, nineteen long years ago. My dad died in a car accident not many days after my birth so my mother was also very cold towards me, in some ways she blamed me for what happen to my father. I grew up really wealthy, getting whatever I wanted from my mother and step dad. My childhood years are something that I tend to want to forget, I never got the love that I so much thrived for from my parents and when my step dad got transferred here when I was ten I thought things would get better.
But it took a turn for the worse, that was the year my step dad started beating me. I never really knew why he started I mean he had money, a good job, a loving wife and I never got in his way. But he found reasons to, things that were little, like I left something on the floor and he pretended to trip over it, or I never waited for him to get home to start eating dinner, even though my mother said I could, eventually I got so paranoid I wouldn’t do anything and then he’d beat me for not doing anything and after a while I just stopped spending time at home, at that point I was roughly fifteen.
During my high school years I distracted myself from my step father and mother with friends, parties, and guys. I always did my school work and maintained an 70 + average but for me my life revolved around my friends and staying as far away from my house as I could. It worked mostly until he figured out what I was doing, so the beatings got worse when I was home, sometimes to the point that I wished for the beating more often and less severe but I never wanted to give in so I fought.
Now as I’m in my freshman year at university he’s stopped mostly, occasionally I’ll get a good slap, or something like that but for the most part, I stay clear of him and he stays clear of me. All I want to do is finish this year of uni, then they said they’d pay for m to have my own apartment, only a couple more moths until I’m free. And I can’t wait for that.
anything else?university student.
hey! my name is BREE, and i've been roleplaying for FOUR-FIVE years. my character's play-by is BLAKE LIVELY.
some people believe that sleep is a necessity. Sleep is something they need to either concentrate on something or to not be grump or snappy but for sapphire it was something she did to get away from everything. She slept to forget about what she had done with her life, she slept to be someone else, to fall into her dreams of being someone who was loved, not only by her parents but who was loved by someone special. But that was her dreams, reality was what she had to face, she was a girl who the only love she got was love for herself. She took care of herself, she didn’t rely on anyone else and she would never need to because when she began to let someone in everything began to crumble up underneath her. Sapphire lay in her bed, her eyes wide open looking out the window where the sun had disappeared and the night was starting to come upon them. Sapphire sighed and closed her eyes, she wanted everything to go away, she wanted everything bad in her life to just be replaced with something pleasant, but pleasant was only a fairytale to her, something that adults made up to make sure their children slept soundlessly and were covered in sweet dreams. For sapphire growing up she never was one of those children, she was one of the children that were scared to even close her eyes for minutes at a time. She had gone through her year afraid to really live life because the consequences were too much to bear. She lived like afraid and she knew it was time to leave the person she use to be behind.
it was early; she knew that, well at least early for a fledgling. The moon wasn’t up yet, which meant that most people were still sleeping. Sapphire couldn’t sleep anymore though; she needed to get out of her room. She had stayed in her room for the past three days other than leaving for class. Her roommate best friends and sister, well not biological but still, would bring her food and the only time she had to deal with people was in class. But in class it was kind of hard to talk and she was out the door before anyone could even say one word to her. The only class that she hadn’t even gone to was her second, she found excuses to get out of it and that was only because there was one person in that class that she was avoiding and she really hoped she could keep it up. Sapphire sighed and untangled herself from her bed sheets. She looked over at her friend and smiled slightly, she was the only person that was keeping sapphire here, they went through everything together and she knew that if sapphire went out and got herself killed by not coming back cyri would do the same thing and she couldn’t let that happen. Making her way over to her droor she grabbed a pair of skinny jeans and a top with a colorful hoodie then made her way over to the bathroom to grab a quick shower. She glanced at the mirror and stopped in her tracks, her eyes were puffy and red, she looked as pale as a ghost, her hair was all knotty, wow she looked like she had gone to hell and back. She knew she didn’t look fantastic but she never knew she looked this bad, no wonder why cyri had been giving her sympathetic looks.
sapphire turned away from the mirror setting her clothes down on the counter and plugging in the curler then slipped off her clothes and made her way over to the shower, instead of curtains like most of the shower in the dorms had they had a glass door so opening the door she got in shut it behind her and turned on the warm water. Sapphire smiled when the water hit her, she knew cyri would be waking up soon so she didn’t want to stay in for too long. The truth was she had been avoiding everyone including her best friend and she knew it was wrong but she just couldn’t bring herself to even think of what she saw so it was just easier to hide. I guess that made sense in her mind but she knew that later on today she had to tell her, she just needed some time alone before she did. So she showered quicker than usual, washing herself and her hair with her favorite strawberry scented shampoo and soap and then shaved before she got out grabbing her towel and drying herself off. She pulled on a black lacy bra and matching undies and then her dark skinny jeans, black tank top, and colorful hoodie. Sapphire looked at herself in the mirror she was still incredibly pale but that was normal, at least the redness surrounding her eyes was gone and her hair wasn’t knotty. Plugging in her hair dryer she started drying her hair so that she could make it out of the dorm before her friend woke up. Her hair didn’t really dry faster, not because of the length but because of the thickness of it and one it was dry she was please that it curled easily. She fixed her hair the way she wanted it and then applied a think layer of make-up covering up her tattoo on her forehead so she could leave the school and then made her way out of the bathroom to grab her purse.
she grabbed her purse quickly and slipped on a pair of ballet flats and was out the door just as her friend was waking up. She glided down the stairs to see a few people give her a shocked look as she made her way to the door quickly until she was stopped by one of her friends. She smiled weakly “hey, what’s up” she asked quietly. Her friend smiled “umm, your boyfriend came by and told me to tell you to go by his dorm when you wake up” sapphires smile slipped from her lips but she instantly put it back “alright thanks, I’ll go now” she said and pushed the door open and walked into the fading light. She didn’t even look towards the guys dorm, she pulled her car keys out of her purse and headed towards the front of the school. She smiled when she found her baby and got in. She sighed and started up the car, pulling out of the parking spot and opening the gates with the button and then drove out. Her first stop was starbucks, the one place she knew she was always welcome. She was of course a regular there, she loved their drinks and usually she has different drinks with her moods and sometimes she could even get a drink for free if she looked like shit which she did today but she didn’t want a free drink today, she felt like spending money, it distracted her and that was the best thing for her right now, a easy distraction. It didn’t take long to get to starbucks, it was right near the school so she was kind of glad. She parked her car and made her way in, it said closed but they had a night shift for the fledglings and for that she was glad. She smirked slightly as she made her way to the counter and saw the sympathetic look on her friends face “you look like crap, darling” he said already bust making a irish swiss late for her. She grabbed a pill and handed it to him surprised he took it with no question. She shrugged “well I can’t always look like a model” she said and took the drink and taking a sip. She smirked slightly “this is really good” she said to him and headed back out the door not wanting to linger there for too long.
the mall was like a five minute walk from starbucks but she still decided that she would drive instead of walk, maybe because she really didn’t want to leave her car there or maybe because if she needed to make a fast escape her car would be right outside the building but she got back in her car and drove the minute it took her to get to the mall. She parked right beside a familiar car and realized she had taken more time than she wanted to get to her car from the dorms, and her sitting in her car for a bit as well didn’t help. She grabbed her purse after she parked and got out of the car and walked into the mall. The mall was always open so she didn’t have to worry about taking too long. She walked around for a bit by herself until she spotted cyri. She was looking around also so she walked up to her with a real smile on her face and pulled her into a hug “hey my bestest friend” she said with actual enthusiasm. She hadn’t been so happy to see her in a long time, maybe it was because she was finally ready to talk about what she saw or maybe it was because of the look on her friends face, aww crap they both felt like shit. She sighed slightly “I’ve got something to tell you about why I’ve been so blahh lately” she said unwrapping her arms from around cyri. She smiled slightly “and I want you to know you deserve a better father” she said with a smile. Ever since they met they could always tell what was bothering the each other. They finished each others sentences and really cyri was like the twin sapphire always wanted. She was the only family sapphire had and she knew that cyri knew what it was like for her parents to disown her, but of course she had told cyri about her father beating and raping her, so cyri was the only one that knew her very well. She sighed slightly and ran her fingers through her dark hair waiting for her best friend to say something.
