OVERALL:
▪untrusting –That’s basically Izzy in a nutshell. She isn’t going to just tell you what she’s feeling or what’s going on. To get her to trust you, you have to talk to her and show her you’re not out to ruin her. She’s had trust issues her whole life because of her family, and though she’s gotten better with dealing with people, she still isn’t quick to give out her trust. Being her best friend is going to be difficult, but being just a friend will be rather easy. Don’t expect her to share her big secrets so quick if you’re not close though. Once you’ve got her trust though, you’ll never lose it unless you do something bad. Then, you’ll most likely never get it back. She’ll still keep all your secrets though.


▪caring – Even though the girl hasn’t dealt with such nice people, she is caring towards almost everyone. Elle doesn’t believe anyone should be ignored or mistreated, though she wouldn't stand up for herself in her household when she was younger. Everyone deserves to be loved, in her opinion, and it shouldn’t be any other way. People are all equal, and being treated otherwise isn’t right unless it has been warranted by certain behavior. People who are criminals that have murdered people, beaten people, and other such crimes don’t deserve the type of caring and kindness others do. To her, this even applies to animals, though many do not see them as humans or equals.


▪open – Unlike her attitude before, Elle will try a lot of things. She won’t think twice about heading to a party, and if you want to be loud and obnoxious at the mall, go for it. Instead of freaking out and always trying to be the good kid, she’s decided risks can be fun, as long as they’re not very bad. Getting drunk isn’t something she’d be afraid to do. Drugs are still out of the question, but she would try them if she really wanted to. Though some things are still out of the question, that’s only really due to a fear she may have, such as heights. No skydiving for Izzy. Just ask her, she’ll probably do what you’ve got in mind.


▪smart – Though she’s a singer, Elle hasn’t let that make her forget everything she learned in school. Her mind is still full of the knowledge, though most of it useless now. It’s still helpful to have, especially if she wants to help a friend with tallying up sales or maybe helping them with college. Though she isn’t planning on going to college right now, her smarts are enough to help people. Izzy had always been in the higher classes, so her knowledge is a lot. It’s not something she flaunts either. She won’t go around acting like a brainiac for people to respect her, because it’s really not that cool to know what she knows. It’s all things everyone learned in school. No one will be wowed by her knowledge because, on a music tour, science means nothing.


▪pessimistic – Izzy just doesn’t think most things will turn out exceedingly well. She expects all situations in end in average results, and doesn’t usually get her hopes up. It is just how she’s come to be, and most people have come to expect it out of her. She is optimistic in some situations, but just mainly pessimistic. It all depends on the situation really, and who it involves. Elle thinks things out before expecting a certain end result. She’s not going to expect a druggie friend of hers to get into the Ivy League college they want to go to. It’s simply impossible, unless they drop the habit and focus on their work. Common sense is definitely a thing she uses.


▪nice – This girl is one of the nicest people you‘ll ever meet. Elle is a very kind and considerate person. No one will ever get an attitude from her unless they’ve done something to her or she’s upset. Strangers are given the utmost respect, as are others she encounters. People are just all equal, and she tries to exhibit that idea as much as possible. If others aren’t nice to her, she’ll say something, because it isn’t right to be treated like that when you don’t deserve it. Of course, it’ll be said with respect, unless the actions were completely out of line. Then, well, she might actually have to get mean.


▪loyal - Izzy is extremely loyal to the people she likes. The friends she has are treated better than many people treat their friends. Her brother is really her only family, and he is treated like her everything, coming before all. Though she’s had very few, boyfriends are treated very well too, of course. If you say you really like someone, they should be treated with respect and you should care about them. Sometimes her ways lead to her getting taken advantage of, but she’s getting better with saying no and not giving in to doing whatever her friends want.


▪animal lover – Elle is very much a lover of animals. She is vegetarian and doesn’t use products that have been tested on animals. The girl owns a dog, but hopes to get more animals because she can’t stand to watch a poor animal suffer in a shelter. Sometimes you can find her nursing a homeless animal back to health before finding a suitable home for it. Not everyone understands why she does it, but it makes sense to her. Not all of her friends respect animals the way she does, and she can understand it, as long as they don’t go telling her she’s wrong, stupid, etc. for helping them.


▪musical – Since she was little, music has always been important to the girl, of course. The piano always appealed to her, and it didn’t take long for her to start to play it when she had the chance. Singing and playing her piano always helps calm her down, and it seemed like such a good thing to bring into a career. Luckily, she wasn’t the only one she knew who felt that way. They worked hard, and now they’re on their second tour. Izzy has never been able to ignore music. She goes to chows when she can and plays whenever she can. It’s a thing the wants to continue with until she’s old. It never goes out of style and it always makes her happy.


▪OCD - Yes, she has OCD. It isn't very bad though. Small things upset her, and she can usually calm herself down when she has an 'episode'. They aren't crazy though, so you can barely call them episodes. Really just like a bother that she gets a little worked up about. The things that bother her the most are usually where certain things are and if she’s on time. If she says she’s going to be somewhere at a certain time, expect her there, at most, five minutes later than that time. And her room is set up a certain way, her bed in the spot she needs it and other small things in their ‘right’ spots.


▪shy/outgoing – The only reason Elle would be shy was if she was around someone she really liked. Otherwise, she probably wouldn’t be. She’s become outgoing, and won’t hesitate to talk to you. She’s got a weird side, but she’s mostly calm and friendly. When she’s with friends though, her weird side comes out. She’ll be very random, and act rather silly, but she’s always funny. She knows when enough is enough though, and won’t get to the point where it’s obnoxious. Overall, she’s fun to be around and a good friend, but not everyone likes her. Her first impressions aren’t always the best. Sometimes she’s caught on a bad day, and you’ll think she’s a bitch, or that she’s too weird.

HISTORY:
On one warm January day in France, a baby girl was conceived. Yes, conceived. Weird way to start, right? Anyway, it wasn’t exactly wonderful. A mother was taking a short walk with her son, whom was only a year old. They lived in an apartment nearby because the woman’s husband had recently died. The cause was unknown, so they left it at that. She didn’t want to get herself all worked up if the cause was avoidable. While walking past a wooded section of the park, little Sebastian started to fuss. Smiling, the woman stopped and walked to the front of the stroller, where she began to fix his blanket and tend to him. That was when Adrienne was grabbed from behind and pulled into the woods. The man then raped her, and she never even got a decent look at him. Basically, fear took over and she shut her eyes. Not smart, but her actions nonetheless. Once he was finished, he ran off and left her lying there. Before long, the cries of her son were heard, which prompted Adrienne to quickly pull herself together and rush to him. Maybe he was hurt. Maybe then man was strangling him right now. It turned out that the baby was fine, so they went home and never spoke of the incident. How did she tell her parents about the pregnancy? Well, her and her deceased husband had frozen fertilized eggs in case of any issues. They had wanted a big family.

A few months later, Adrienne was at work, a hospital, taking care of a patient who had needed an operation. It was love at first sight, really. What was even better was that he didn’t care that she was pregnant. The woman just didn’t know he was the one who got her pregnant against her will. Marc Moretti, which was what his name turned out to be, had planned on being in a relationship with her. He hadn’t expected it to work out this perfect, but it worked for him. Even after he was released from the hospital, the two kept in touch and spent much time with each other. Within two months, they were planning a wedding. Her parents didn’t approve much, but neither paid attention. They were in love, right? The day before their wedding day, Adrienne was told she was due any day. So the couple just didn’t plan a honeymoon. They could deal with that. Besides, Adrienne had already had one. It hadn’t been that spectacular, or so she told herself. It was ultimately for the best though, because three days later, the baby was born.

On October 31, Giselle Antoinette Beauvais was born. Adrienne resented the girl from that point on because she was the result of a traumatic event. Did she show it? Not really. It wasn’t as if the two were together all the time though, because her son loved the girl. They were close even as toddlers, and the small age difference helped a lot. While they were playing, their mother could be on the phone or something that didn’t involve them. Over time, Adrienne simply became disinterested in her kids. Especially since Giselle was becoming more and more unlike her. Her hair was dark, and she had brown eyes. This little girl had blonde hair and grayish-blue eyes. And it still hadn’t occurred to her that the girl looked more like her husband now than anyone. Adrienne wasn’t the smartest though. After all, she had been the one taking her young son for a walk in January. Does that sound very smart? Not really. The woman also left two year old Giselle in the bathtub while she went and took a nap. The girl would have drowned if her brother hadn’t started screaming. Of course, the kids were bribed so they didn’t tell their father. He never knew.

Nothing really happened in the house until Giselle was about seven. That was when her father started drinking heavily, and he began to hit his daughter and his wife. Not his son though. His son was perfect, a strong and smart boy. Yes, Marc was one of those guys who felt women were worthless. So, Giselle would go to school with cuts and bruises on her, but no one would ask because no one would see. Her mother had made it a priority to cover up the spots. It didn’t help at all, but it kept people away. Besides, the new treatment had caused Giselle to withdraw from people and lose most of the friends she had. In a matter of weeks, the girl had lost all interest in talking to people and socializing. By junior high, it ruined her completely. Her sense of style changed, and it differed from everyone else’s. Sure, her brother was the same way, but he talked to people. People accepted him because they knew the real him and knew he was cool. Giselle was afraid to talk to people. No one ever tried to get to know her.

Their move to the US was very hard on Giselle. She was only eleven, and still shy as ever. In her new school, kids mocked her because she had an Italian accent and her English wasn't perfect. She loved having an accent, but no one else did. It made her mad. Her whole family had an accent, and she was the only one who got ridiculed for it. It almost made her want it to go away quicker than it already was. Around then was when she started to think about cutting. Yes, that young. Fortunately, Giselle never tried it. She decided against it because it might call attention to herself. That would be very very bad.

The teenager was fifteen when the beatings started picking up more. Adrienne had finally left because she realized the man she married was the one who raped her, and she wanted nothing to do with the children. This made Marc angry, so he took it out on his daughter. Never his son though. Sebastian couldn’t take it this time though. He loved his sister too much to let her deal with that. So he began to interfere, pulling his sister away from the madman. This became a regular thing, happening almost every day. Sebastian had his hands full, juggling school, a social life and all this. It didn’t last like this. Pretty soon, it happened only a few days, making things a lot easier. It was still hard though. Giselle had to deal with her father’s beatings on top of everything else. Her OCD didn’t help much, her low self-esteem didn’t, and her extreme sense of self consciousness just made it all too difficult. She was having difficulties just going to school each day. Her grades started slipping. The straight-a student came to be a straight-f student in no time at all. Someone knew there had to be an issue, so the school sent someone to the house.

They arrived on the best day for them, really. They rang the doorbell and heard a crash, like glass breaking. Maybe it was just a bad time, they figured. A man screamed for someone to answer the door, and a few moments later, Giselle answered, crying and tending to a gash on her forearm. It was bleeding quite heavily to be just a small cut, so they instantly told her they were taking her to the emergency room. It was there that they discovered various other bruises and cuts on her body. It took no time at all to decide that she was to be sent away to live with other family while her father had to deal with the judicial system. Since her brother was underage as well, he was sent to the same place.

During high school, it didn’t take long for her to come out of her shell and do what she’d always wanted. The girl quickly began playing the piano and going out with friends. Music was a passion. Luckily, she had friends who felt the same, and one even decided to start a band with her. They worked very hard at it. Their heard work led to them being known locally and getting shows booked in the area. Luckily, a music scout ended up at one of their shows and they were signed that night, of course with a contract that fit their desires. They wouldn’t be signed unless they got what they wanted too. It was their music.

An EP was made, and more shows were played. They did a small tour of just the west coast, due to their lack of funds. It was a great success, and they delved more into the music business. Two years later, they’re starting their second tour right after the release of their first full length album.
