winter valentine is now entering hell
full name: Winter Annabelle Valentine[/size]
gender: female
age: nineteen
birthday: july 29th
living where?: penthouse
personality:
RESERVED
Winter really doesn’t like being in big groups of people. She honestly finds that its too hard to keep someone’s attention and just plain hard to follow along and really a lot of jealous feelings and everything are mixed into big groups so she prefers being with one or two people or even nobody at all. She really is quite a reserved person, is content being by herself and you barely ever are able to hear much about her unless she really feels like she can open up to you about anything. Winter likes to just keep things to herself and isn’t very outgoing in the sense that she pushes herself out there to be seen. She can be a bit crazy at times, likes dancing to no music at all, yet she doesn’t try and put herself out there In fact she tries to do quite the opposite. She feels most comfortable in places not many people go to hence her not going to a local park all the time like a lot of people do and instead you will find her trampling through a wooded area where you could easily get lost in Winter just likes the quiet, and prefers to be able to hear what she wants to hear instead of not ever having a moment of peace.
CREATIVE
Winter really has that creative eye Not in everything she does. Like she cant draw very well, or she isn’t very good at drama but then she really does take amazing pictures, and she can write stories pretty good. Plus having an overactive imagination as well does help with her creative skills. It mostly does come out though in her photography. She is very good at placing things in such a way that it makes the picture seem like it was done to perfection and even though some of her pictures are really just snap shots they still have a creative sense to them. Its like just she views the world in a different way then most and see’s the details clearly. Winter loved taking pictures. She found it was the best way to show her creative skills and she spent a lot of time on it actually because of this. She found that each part of her should be shown in one way or another and her creative sense was shown through her photography.
ODD
Winter really does have a bit of an odd way that she does things Like normally when dancing she wont dance to music, but she will dance to just no noise at all and she just does things that are completely out of the normal. Like she can really literally scare you by randomly falling out of a bush and into the bench spot next to you. She sometimes seems as if she poofs in and out of places and like her phrases at times will be so odd. Like randomly she will just go ‘I never thought the sky could be so blue’ meanwhile its all cloudy. Her thought pattern at times make no sense but still she is quite cute anyways even if she sometimes does act a lot younger then she is, but still has the maturity of something like a 23 year old or somewhere along that line. She likes reading normal books fro the last chapter to the first and she always is making weird little puzzles on scrap pieces of paper But she is very smart, like she’s one of those people that can always give you somewhat of a sophisticated answer
IMAGINATIVE
Winter has quite the bit of an imagination. When you rad stories she makes, or little things she scribbles down you can tell and just the way her apartment is you can definitely tell the imagination and thought that went into it. Like the complex names of her stuffed animals, each named after something that you would never guess and just how she can really think that she can see the sky clear blue when its gray she can really just make somewhat of a new life appear before her when she wants to and she is often in her thoughts because of her overactive imagination. Not many people seem to have as much of an imagination as her, especially since she is nineteen and attending university and incredibly smart and everything Its really the only thing that she keeps a hold of to remind her that indeed she was a child even if she never lived the life that a child should of. So she creates her own world, little things that would never be called normal, for herself to become some sort of a child even if only in her mind.
HAPPY
Saying that winter is happy yet doesn’t smile a lot is really looked at as a bit odd, But there is just the way that she presents herself that you can tell she clearly enjoys pretty much everything that she does whether its course work or photography which she really loves for her being away from back home in Ireland she basically finds that she can enjoy being here all that much more because her parents weren’t with her And it left her with much more freedom of expression and everything then before. She just found the whole fact that she got to come here some sort of experience that she should be happy for. And she found that a lot of people seemed to have something tragic happen in there life so her being sad or anything was just something that shouldn’t be She should be happy so that was like her goal to smile at least once a day, to make sure she found everything exciting and that she enjoyed it One of the few goals that she had for herself alone.
OPTIMISTIC
Winter was always a very optimistic person, you very rarely saw her getting down about things and was very good at finding a reason for things that happened that goes in the positive sense which really can be a hard thing to do at a time. Winter not only does this for herself but she tries to comfort others by doing this as well. She likes to make sure that she keeps everything light and flowing and having a serious type past she does like to make sure that her views are different. Basically she likes to do anything that she wasn’t in the past where she was serious, a very pessimistic type person and she found she could turn her life around that way Being optimistic does make it also hard for you to see when she gets hurt by something that you say to her or by actions that you do as well. She is a very cheery type person and doesn’t like to get down on big or small things. She just figures that your supposed to live your life and look ahead, not just continually think its going to be crap and nothing good will come of it.
FOLLOWER
As much as Winter likes doing things out of the normal, not something that you would see just anyone do she is a big follower when it comes to being in big groups of people and often times also has a hard time saying no, hence why she also got into smoking when she was in high school as well. She just didn’t exactly know how to say no to people nor did she like just making a point that they shouldn’t be doing something, or she didn’t like doing this It was really just how she had been and couldn’t exactly change it. She just wasn’t someone that would stand up for herself. She would even joke about herself in a way that could not be healthy as well. She just wasn’t one that wanted to be completely alone so would do anything to stay accepted within the group of friends that she has Bad habit for her. And really she definitely needed lessons on how to say no. It would be helpful.

physical description:
HAIR
Winter was born with brown hair, yet as she grew older it turned into really a red that isn’t really seen for a hair color, at least it not being natural she had been told by her adoptive mother that her mother had the same hair that she had with just a bit more brown in it. Winter always had her hair long She had thought of once cutting it short but had chickened out on the last minute, plus even though she did rebel away from what her parents wanted her to do a lot of the time they did like the long hair on her and winter couldn’t exactly go cut it off she liked it Surprisingly enough though Winter actually did notice the fact that she was quite pretty, which did bring her self esteem up a bit as well. But a lot of people really didn’t see themselves as pretty or anything which winter really was quite the opposite of Her hair though was probably one of her best features she thought, as well as her eyes which she found were the two things that stood out most
EYES
With wearing very little make up at least around her eyes for the most part she has a very natural effect with them yet they seem to stand out with the red hair. The blue color of her eyes with just that tint of green seem to make them look almost a different color at times, especially when the green shows more. She normally will wear a bit of make up, normally just consisted of eyeliner and a bit of mascara more to add just a bit extra contrast and make them stand out she is very careful when it comes to wearing make up due to the fact that she finds a lot of girls, and sometimes guys as well, can really overdue the make up to the point where they look more like clowns over anything. She likes doing her make up a bit more heavily more when she’s doing pictures and stuff like that as it comes in use with photography at times. Winter finds that when its colder out the green does show more, and really she has noticed that there doesn’t seem to be a lot of people with green eyes.
MOUTH
Winter doesn’t really have very thick lips or anything Actually they are rather thin. Her lower lip, due to having her lip pierced does seem to be a big thicker. Lets just say she has mastered a very good pout that nobody can say no too. Her smile though is what seems to get everyone, as you really do see her more serious like then smiling, buts its like you have to focus right on her when she smiles because it just makes her whole face light up Having pretty nice teeth as well, even though she did have braces when she was younger, now they were perfectly straight and clean. With not smiling as much though it does make her seem more distant which in a way is the whole look she is going for as she was never very accustomed to making a lot of friends and everything It just wasn’t her style. She liked having a few friends and that would be it. She wasn’t a very social person and just kept to herself and her little plushie friends
SKIN
Winter has really pale skin, so much where even when she does add a bit of blush to her skin to add a bit of color it doesn’t do much good and people do notice that she really is always quite pale. This also means though that its hard to tell if she’s sick, especially with her being an optimistic person she doesn’t really make it where she looks incredibly sick even if she doesn’t smile too often. Winter though really does resemble her name in her appearance, somewhat cool like but pretty all the same. Her skin does seem to make her red from her hair stand out though because of the contrast with it falling against her skin. Winter actually doesn’t like the fact that she’s so pale because it also means that she burns easily and tends to prefer the early evenings when the sun is going down for the fact that then she knows she wont get burnt at least
WEIGHT
Winter isn’t really someone who is super skinny you could say like actually quite a few of the girls seem to be. Actually winter honestly thinks everyone just fasts all the time and gives up on eating since really she sees too many people that really could use a bit of weight on them yet she also doesn’t go thinking she’s fat either. She knows she is fairly skinny, a healthy type skinny though she eats three meals a day, will snack once in a while yet she still is pretty healthy, though being lactose intolerant does limit her to what she has. But since she has been like that all her life she does generally know substitutions and she does alright. Winter does at times see herself as a bit chubby standing next to some people she knows because really when a lot of people seem to be super skinny of course even if you are at a good weight compared to those people you are going to feel fat. Winter though had always made herself just accept who she is and be done with it, she saw too much happen on tv and stuff with people who didn’t accept themselves. And she didn’t want to become like that
HEIGHT
Winter isn’t exactly extremely tall you could say, being around 5’7 not that bad for a girl or anything but then she doesn’t feel completely tall or anything and everyone she had dated had been at least the same height as her anyways Winter never did like feeling really tall or anything but she had been quite short when little, it had been when she was around fourteen that she got a major growth spurt though hasn’t really grown any since. She doesn’t mind the height she’s at but she sometimes does wish she was a little shorter, though she does notice that being tall does make you appear slimmer as well. But then winter wasn’t too big on appearances, she just liked how she looked, simple as that. She was one of those people that everyone thought really were fake where she did actually look at the personality first, if they were good looking that was just an added bonus for her really. Winter did have a problem with height. It might be stupid she just didn’t like having to look down at people. She felt odd doing it. Especially if she was dating a person. She just felt awkward so she kinda did avoid it. But everyone did have things about them that are like that, like some white girls wouldn’t date black men etc She was the same way with short guys. She was fine being there friends but it felt weird dating them. So basically don’t like her and be shorter then she is. She probably wont like you back.
CLOTHING
Winter is one of those people that really goes for the natural look. She may act weird a lot of the time but she doesn’t exactly dress all that odd except for maybe she will wear like a tank top in the winter and then have a long sleeve thick shirt on in the summer. She was very messed up like that though Winter didn’t like wearing very vibrant colors. She actually rather hated them. She found being noticed enough because of her color of hair was enough so she kept to a lot of neutral and dark colors for what she wore. It really did depend on her mood though as to what she wore. Because there were points where she just felt like being dramatic and would wear something to that effect she liked experimenting with different clothing styles but couldn’t decide much on just one. Plus she liked buying clothes It was something she did often she had enough to change her style from time to time without having to go buy new clothes.

history:
PARENTS
Winter’s parents actually weren’t all that young when they found out that Winters Mother, Alyssa was pregnant. They had been dating for only a few months though. It was actually surprisingly that her mother was able to hold off on the drug use and alcohol use throughout her pregnancy. Both of them were big burnouts and basically were only together for the hell of it and there was no real feelings there. You would have thought they might have shaped up going through the whole pregnancy thing together but really it was something that they were just trying to get over with winters father, Nathan, running out on her mother about half way through the pregnancy yet still you could tell with Alyssa’s carefree attitude that she was just as ready to leave Winter as well. She just couldn’t exactly walk up and leave as Nathan did. Since it was too late for an abortion as well by the time she realized how long she would have to be off the alcohol and everything. She definitely went through a hell of a lot of hard times with that but eventually did pull through. At least till she was rid of winter.
BIRTH
Before Alyssa even went into labour she had made it clear that she didn’t want to be any part of the baby’s life and they were to take her away immediately after giving birth to her. Alyssa had moved down over to Ireland at the time, living with distant relatives that let her in for the time of her pregnancy and helped her out so Winter had parents arranged already from the time she was born. When Alyssa had the child, she had looked away as if nothing happened, that she had never been pregnant and she was seen by her later though in the little crib they put her in through the glass window before her mother walked out of her life, her blazing red hair the last thing the nurses saw of her before she disappeared into the world of drugs and alcohol once more. She was twenty four at the time but clearly not ready to be caring for someone else and was still somewhat of a very irresponsible child. That was definitely something she could compare it too.
ADOPTION
It was two days after winter had been born that her adoptive parents, Owen and Cecily Valentine, came to pick up the child that was to be there’s They could tell immediately that there would be conflict with just the look of the girl who even at birth very much resembled her mother, whom they had seen only a picture of. But they accepted her willingly and you really thought they would be god parents. Newlyweds and they seemed so perfect, like she would be brought up within the perfect household. But it was probably better then the household she could have lived in with the drug addicted mother. So when winter did learn about her mother later on she was glad for her parents, she just wished they had learned to be more parents then people who just taught her things in life. Because once going there, and probably by the age of three it was like she was put into a completely lifestyle one which was incredibly strict and a hard thing to change later on.
NO PLAY NO FUN
At the age of three was when winter, instead of being able to play and everything, like she had been used to for the past few years she began school Being taught everything by her mother, not attending an actual school but being home schooled up until she went to high school actually and even then they seemed to have much say over her education. Winter didn’t learn how to socialize very well though even though now she was quite reserved she picked up on that pretty easily through high school. But when she was very young of an age it was hard for her to just accept that she had to do work Which did result in her misbehaving for a while, a few swats and even more things taken away from her like her reading which she loved as a child, she learned to smarten up and just do what she was told to do. But her parents didn’t really treat her like there child, really not until she went off to university did they. But winter still viewed them as her parents, just very strict ones was the excuse she made up each and every time
EXTRA WORK
Once she started high school was when she got the extra work She was liking the whole high school aspect but with her parents it was like you got home did homework for that school and then they would give her even more stuff to do so much where she had a few times where she landed herself in the hospital for exhaustion and stress. But Winter was one that just kept on going, she never knew what to stop, would always volunteer for the hard stuff and she really was an over achiever but that was how her parents taught her to be. Yet even then she did get in trouble. Got into smoking and stuff, just she did a lot of this rebelling behind her parents back. Yet still she was a good student and basically did what her parents asked her too because she never knew what would be taken away if she didn’t. And she definitely didn’t want to go back to home schooling even if she did only have three friends throughout high school.
MATURE
Because of all the work she did, and everything her parents expected her to do she did get along with people older then her more then anything just because they were more alike. She had always been a mature girl so it as definitely noticeable when by about her sophomore year she barely could stand the friends that she had right through to graduation. She just found there problems stupid and in a way she did know what she wanted a lot more then anyone else. But mainly she knew she wanted to get away from Ireland and find something better to do where there was definitely more to offer for herself at least. But still very mature person for the age she was, a lot of people often mistaken her to be a lot older, that is when they didn’t see her doing the odd little things she liked to do. But mainly she definitely had a good report with teachers at least. Though she also got teased for that as well.
LOVE FOR PHOTOGRAPHY
Winter wasn’t exactly sure what it was that got her so into photography or why she invested all her time in it but it was like the day she decided to start taking pictures was the day that changed what she wanted to do. She no longer wanted to go into psychology she wanted to become a photographer. She knew this just with how her pictures turned out, how it felt jus right when she spent hours outside taking pictures. It really was what changed her life in a way and got her smiling more then she ever did. So over the next two years she took course after course on photography, gained skills, did stuff at home and really by the time she was ready to go to university she was really well done with skills on photography and general computer programs. This was also when she really realized she needed a change. Which was why she applied for a school in Carmel, california, a crazy ways away but she knew it was somewhere that would be a nice start in a way. And she was also able to be more free.
GOING TO CARMEL UNIVERSITY
The day she left for estabrooke was the day her parents really did become parents. And they gave her words which helped her and she did realize that they did love her Just for winter it was a time for a change Even though she had that irish accent coming to Berkeley she still fit in a lot better and somehow was able to meet friends and she became free. If you had seen her back then and then compared her to now you would notice almost everything has changed about her. Just her overall look at the future changed coming here and she was to do things she loved. Plus for her being away from her parents was a bonus, just because of the fact that she did need to be away from them and she still had yet to decide once she finished university just where she would go, whether staying here or going back home she was undecided for once. But she lived her life a lot more optimistically now and was able to produce a lot better work as well. She was a lot more content here then back home yet she wouldn’t tell her parents that. Since they still do seem t think that they did well raising her.
