height , Five feet six inches.
weight , 130 pounds.
tattoos and piercings , Annabelle has two arm sleeves, one is still in the progress of being finished. She also has double pierced ears and an industrial in one ear.
best feature , She takes great pride in her hair colour, which she thinks is the best shade of brown.
general , Annabelle has chestnut brown hair that comes to just below her neck in a layered, shaggy, almost boyish cut. It frames her extremely androgynous face, another thing Annabelle is quite proud of. She tries her best to look like a boy, even binding to prevent any instances of chest from showing. She is slightly on the skinny side, but still obviously a healthy weight for her height. Annabelle has a pear shaped frame, with her hips being rather wide in comparison to both her waist and chest, something that makes her look rather womanly. Thusly, she hates it a lot and tries to wear things that will not emphasize her hips.

Annabelle‘s style is very old school kodona: A lot of mismatched prints and styles and lots of black and white. She is a fan of striped stockings, big boots and bow ties and they can often be seen in her wardrobe daily. She also enjoys newsboy caps and gloves to hide her feminine hands. Vests are probably Annabelle’s clothing item of choice and she owns a plethora of them.

likes , girls, black and white, eating, chocolate, serious discourse and intelligent conversation
dislikes , immaturity, men (but mostly the manly types because she’s jealous), people that remind her of herself, pink
strengths , Annabelle is quite intelligent and serious and can often hold her own in debates. She is also quite studious and usually aces exams with flying colours.
weaknesses , Annabelle reacts horribly to people that are illogical. She is also unable to empathize properly and has been told she is ‘serious and logical to a fault’. People don’t matter to her as she is only concerned with facts and logic. She is not in the least concerned with how people feel, only in finding the most logical solution to a problem, which hurts many and has caused her friendships with others to collapse.
fears , things that don’t make sense.
quirks , Annabelle is so obsessed with the neat appearance of eyebrows that she plucks them every night.
secrets , Annabelle is secretly jealous of all girls who are comfortable with, well, being girls.
how , Annabelle‘s first and last boyfriend loved Lolita and had previously dated a girl that often dressed Lolita. In an effort to impress him, Annabelle did as well. After that relationship turned sour, she could not shake her love of the style so began to dress in the next best thing.
general , The best way to describe Annabelle is serious. She has a no-nonsense attitude for what she terms as immaturity and idiocy. Despite her attitude causing problems, Annabelle refuses to even make an effort to change. Her purely logical approach to problems ends up causing more. She is concerned not with people or emotions but facts and logic and will work towards finding an appropriate solution to every problem, but appropriate doesn’t always mean that everyone will like it.

Due to this, Annabelle’s ability to understand people is very low. The effects her actions have on people are not a concern to her, not that she is selfish. She just could not care less about the opinions and needs of others. As both a lover and a friend, she can be seen as cold and even awkward at times. If anyone shows genuine caring or affection for Annabelle, she feels awkward and on edge and may even react in anger. In other words, some people have said Annabelle has the personality of a rock. That could not be less true. It is due to these judgements that Annabelle seldom lets her other side show, a somewhat childish and girly repressed remnant of her past that, upon rearing its head, she tries her best to squash. That side of her makes her both ashamed and angry and Annabelle often beats herself up over its very existence.

It has long been said that women are more concerned with emotions, and men are logical. All of the above could be explained by one thing: That Annabelle hates herself. Due to her history, she hates the fact that she is a girl, perhaps even loathes it. At any sign of being girly, or as she terms it, weak and childish, she will shut down completely. Her efforts to act like a boy, you could say, go to the utmost extremes. Despite the fact that pretty much everyone knows she is a female, she still tries her hardest to look and act like a boy, if only to fool herself.

hometown , London, England
family , A father and several brothers.
pets , n/a
best memory , Annabelle’s favourite memory was when she got her very first newsboy cap from her father when she was 3 years old.
worst memory , the break-up with her only boyfriend.
history , Annabelle had, at first, been your average girl. She delighted in pink, dolls, flouncy dresses and of course, Barbies. Her parents spoiled her rotten as an only child and she loved every second of it. Her parents, in turn, continued to spoil her and still do. She often receives gifts at the Academy from her father, wishing her well. Annabelle does not come from money, but her family was not poor either. Nestled most of her life in an upper middle class suburban area, she had been free from many troubles.

That was until the death of her mother shortly after the birth of her 4th brother. Her mother, who had always been there for her, was now gone from her life. At that point, Annabelle was completely lost and distressed and looked for any kind of solace she could. She was 6 years old, and the loss of her mother tore her apart completely. Annabelle was now left as the sole female in an all-male household, and that took its toll on her femininity.

Upon reaching the 9th grade, Annabelle found her first boyfriend. At that time, she had become a complete tomboy yet still was comfortable in her own skin as a girl. At first, her boyfriend was a loving, caring guy who doted on her like her parents always did and, for the first time since the death of her mother, Annabelle was happy. Things quickly turned sour when her previously loving boyfriend turned into a complete control freak. Try as she might, Annabelle could not find the reason for his behaviour. He began to hit her and emotionally torment her whenever she did not do as he wished. This relationship lasted for 3 long months before Annabelle‘s father found out and called the police on her boyfriend. She has not heard from him since.

That was where her love hate relationship with men started. On one hand, she viewed herself as the typical girl caught in an abusive relationship, someone weak, almost a doormat. Her father, who she views as a strong, brave man became her role model, as he saved her from the horrible relationship that she was in. Annabelle now has a conflicting view of men, she wished to be a strong, brave man like her father and yet hates men because of her boyfriend. She is no longer comfortable with her identity as a girl, as she views it as the reason for her being unable to leave her relationship.

The relationship with her first boyfriend turned her off relationships with males nearly completely. On occasion, she will become friends with a male who she deems worthy but it isn't very common, and usually only if he does not look or act like one.

Her father decided it was best to send her far away for the remainder of her schooling, and found out about Mille-Feuille through a friend. He hoped Annabelle could get a fresh start at that school.

sample post ,

The evening was cool and, as far as Ricard knew, the heaters for the second floor were either off or not working. Luckily, in the corner was a stone fireplace, probably as ancient as the school itself. Ricard, as per usual, was very prepared for such an occasion and there were a couple logs laying forlornly on the gray stone floor in front of the fireplace, one of the only places in the office without the richly coloured carpet that matched Ricard's favourite chair.

A bit of stuffing poked out from a ripped seam in the chair, an Ricard made a grab for the small sewing kit he kept in the second drawer of his desk. Selecting a mild burgundy, he set to work repairing the chair. After a few minutes, the chair looked presentable, so Ricard got up, and hobbled over to the fireplace. He set his cane down against the cold stone.

I wonder... Ricard held his chin in one hand as he contemplated the chair once more. I could reupholster it in black and add black trim to the room. Perhaps I can paint the desk black as well. Red and black do look good together. He took his notebook out of his pocket, and wrote down his ideas for the new furnishings. "I could ask Ludvig to help me redecorate...he's definitely stronger than I am." Ricard muttered to himself before deftly placing some of the logs in the fireplace. He grabbed a bit of paper from his desk that had been lying around, as well as some wood scraps that had fallen off the logs and placed them in the fireplace. Ricard looked around for a lighter, before remembering that he had placed one with the logs when he first moved into the office.

He lit the tinder and paper before standing up and walking over to his desk. The fire caught soon after, and crackled ever so slightly as it began to grow. Ricard glanced to his right to make sure the door was open, before fixing himself some green tea and taking a seat in one of the plush chairs around the office.
