[/B] Cara possesses what some would call a 'natural beauty'. She's neither too slim nor too heavy, but sits a nice average weight. She has long, dark brown hair which stops around the middle of her back and also has dark, expressive brown eyes. She stands at an average height of 5 feet 6 inches. Cara has an average complexion - one that is neither too pale nor too dark. She tans easily in the summer and doesn't wear a lot of makeup like some.

STRENGTHS GREAT COMMUNICATOR: finds it easy to hold a conversation and express herself with just about everyone
DETERMINED: refuses to back down from a challenge and tackles it head on
KINDHEARTED: will always help those in need before herself
WEAKNESSES BULLHEADED: refuses to admit mistakes and is prone to thinking that she's always right
MOODY: she tends to change moods quite rapidly, which contradicts several of her strengths. most of it is solely dependent on the people/environment she's in/around


OVERALL Cara is a very sweet and charming girl. She generally does more for others than she does for herself. She has a knack for making friends with just about everyone, even those that most would consider weird and/or outcasts of society. However, she's far from a "perfect" angel. Rissa can be quite the stubborn, bullheaded cow. She hates admitting that she's wrong and tends to lapse into a 'fantasy' world where she's always right. She's extremely smart and cunning - making her quite the asset when trying to figure out a problem or attempting to remove oneself from a sticky situation. She loves to read a good book or two and snuggle up underneath a blanket, especially during the cold winter nights. Rissa is a very determined girl - one who refuses to back down from any challenge or problem. She tackles most things head-on and assumes a 'leadership' type role more often than not. Due to her rather 'domineering' personality she can push people away. However, her knack for drawing people in like moths to a flame prevent her from doing 'too much' damage and leaving her alone and friendless. She's very protective of her family and won't tolerate any snide remarks, gestures, etc.. to any of her family members.

[/B] Vinny Delraso, 50 years, no occupation. estranged father, abandoned family when she and her sister were very young
MOTHER Melissa Delraso (née Black), 47 years, no occupation
SIBLING(S) Serena, 23 years, fraternal twin sister; Mackenzie, 31 years, older brother
OTHER none

HISTORY Cara was born 2 minutes after her fraternal twin sister Serena. She was the third child born to Vinny and Melissa Delraso, their first being her older brother Mackenzie. Her father abandoned the family when she and her sister were six months old. He kept in contact with his daughters until they turned 6, then all communication ended - much to the pleasure of Melissa and Mackenzie. The rest of her childhood passed by like it would for a normal child. She attended school, got fairly decent grades, and graduated. Rissa attempted college for 2 years, which was just long enough for her to get her associates degree in business management. The rest of her life has been pretty average - making friends, losing friends, trying to find a job, obtaining a job, getting fired, etc... At least she has her siblings and mother for support, and at the end of the day that's all that matters to her.

ROLEPLAYING EXAMPLE FROM YOU

He stared at Sam for what seemed like hours, just watching his expression change like the unpredictable weather. He looked like a drowned rat, his dark hair glued to his face and his clothes clinging to his body like flesh. Ollie turned and headed down the main corridor and opened up the hall closet. Pulling out a plush towel, he returned to the living room and tossed it to his friend. "Dry off with that. You look worse than a rat who just took a swim in the sewer." Oliver wasn't generally this 'cold', however, he'd never really been abandoned either. Abandoned. That's exactly what Sam had done, abandoned him. There was no teary-eyed, bittersweet 'goodbye' nor a heartfelt 'I'll be back soon'. There was nothing, only the disappearance of his friend and the quick phone from Ellie who told him of his departure. No one could blame him for feeling hurt and angry.

He watched as Misfit emerged from the kitchen and approached his owner. He scoffed as the cat rubbed affectionately against Sam's legs, acting as if nothing ever happened. The cat was a far better being than himself. He returned to the sofa and sat on the soft cushion with a soft thud. "No problem, he was good company." It wasn't long before the cat reentered the kitchen to finish his meal. “I kind of expected you to turn me away… I wouldn’t have blamed you if you had.” "I should have - especially after you left here without uttering a word…" He sighed and rubbed his face with his palms. "If Ellie hadn't called me… well I thought you were dead somewhere! You hear about all the riffraff running rampant I thought you were mugged and left bleeding somewhere! Honestly, did it ever occur to you how I might have felt about you just up and leaving?"

Ollie never thought he could hurt this much since his parents died. He was left alone in the world, far away from everything he'd ever known and loved. He felt the same way after Sam left… he felt broken… and alone. "Hmm… well I doubt Ellie told you that I've kept myself practically locked up in this house. I took an extended vacation from work, and even your dear sister failed to drag me from this mansion of gloom." He'd bought this house for the both of them - and with one very important occupant missing, the house felt cold and deserted. "Well your aunt is stupide! Retardé! There's one person… two actually… who don't hate you, but instead love you! That's all you should need…"

'Just tell him already!' God, he wanted too and he'd even hinted at it… but perhaps that wasn't enough. Sam tended to grasp at straws, so it wouldn't shock Ollie if he had to take it a step farther. "You're not homeless and I'm fine. Tired? Indeed I am, I haven't had a good nights rest since you left…"
