oh my, jacqueline!
what's your name and age, babe?
jacqueline anne bourdeaux was named after her great grandmother just over twenty years ago. the name jacqueline has been in the bourdeaux family for many years, passed down every generation with different middle names. despite how many siblings there is in each family, only one girl each generation is given the name and it's usually the eldest child's daughter who receives it. in the bourdeaux family it's considered to be an honor to carry the name.
i like mysterious people. you got any secrets?
at the age of seventeen, jacqueline became pregnant by her first boyfriend. the boy in question left her without a word two weeks before she had found out about the pregnancy, leaving jacqueline alone to deal with it. and she dealt with it the only way she knew how. she asked her parents to send her away for a year of schooling by a private tutor at their house on the coast of france and she had her child in secret. she gave the baby up for adoption two days after the birth and then returned to her family in lyon at the end of the year and acted as though nothing strange had happened. the boyfriend returned a couple months after she did and the two have been on barely speaking terms since. as far as she knows, no one knows about the baby and no one will ever.
you think you look
dark hair, dark eyes, and a mystique about them is something that has always been attributed to the bourdeaux family. they have always been known for looking more mysterious then they actually were. jacqueline is no exception to this rule. her chocolate brown locks and her beautiful doe like brown eyes make her look sweet, mysterious, and intriguing all at the same time. but when she smiles that beautiful smile of hers, it all melts away. it transforms her into one of the most open looking people you will ever come across. she usually always has a smile on her face, unless of course you catch her at a bad time. and she's always bouncing as she moves. jacqueline wears her hair in curls almost all of the time and it just adds to her innocent appearance.
having grown up with a mother who was former ballet/model jacqueline has developed a natural taste in fashion. she has the uncanny ability to put together outfits that most would never have put together and never would have considered to be good fashion. but when jacqueline wears them they seem to fall together flawlessly, almost as though a designer themselves had put it together. she has the ability most wished they had and because of it, she has the tendency to start trends amongst the girls her age. she is someone many look to for the latest wears and do's and don'ts. she loves to be the center of attention therefore she accepts the position with pride. she's always on the look out for new styles she can wear to stand out.
got any distinguishing features?
she has a hidden tattoo on her left hip of a small heart. she got it right where it would be covered by any article of clothing. the only way to see it is to get her completely naked. she got it after the abortion and she hasn't slept with anyone since.
who do people say you look like?
leighton meester.
what words describe you? maybe because opposites attract, y'know.
INNOCENT - while most think that jacqueline has lived a sheltered and protected life, little know that she's not as innocent as she seems. although she does have a sense of it about her. she tends to keep herself guarded and hasn't experienced much in the way of life. her parents are incredibly protective of their youngest and try to keep her out of any kind of line of fire.
CARING - no matter what's she's been through in her life jacqueline loves her friends and family and would probably do just about anything for them. she loves to give presents, often spending more money for others then she does for herself. and she's always volunteering to help organize charity events and always loves to donate her time and family money to those who need it more then she does.
CREATIVE - her mother started her on the piano at a young age and she took a liking to all things musical ever since. she moved on from just playing the piano to playing the violin and cello as well. she has studied with some of the best musical minds of her time and has traveled all over for performances. she can often be found at the piano in her home filling the house with music. her favorite time of year is the holidays because she loves the classic christmas music.
RELUCTANT - due to some events in her past and being over protected by her parents and siblings, jacqueline has a hard time opening herself up to people she doesn't know. she's not guarded, just cautious. her family has made her a bit paranoid as it were. she likes to spend time with people, really get to know them, and then decide whether or not to trust them. it's never personal, just her being careful.
BITTER - because of her past, she does have a tendency to hold a grudge and not forgive people. unless she finds them worthy of that forgiveness, she rarely lets people back into her circle of trust. she has yet to forgive her first boyfriend for just taking off without saying goodbye or even just telling her that something was wrong. the closer you are to her, the less likely she is to forgive you for a mistake bigger then just a white lie.
ANGRY - she tends to keep her emotions to herself, except for when she's happy or stress, and it just builds up inside her until it explodes. there are signs that it's coming though. she gets snippy the days before she breaks, and she tends to lock herself away, canceling all her plans and just being alone. you don't want to be the person who she attacks when this happens because she gets really nasty and tends to rip the person apart emotionally.
BROKEN - she regrets everyday giving up her child and no telling anyone about it. the guilt and heartbreak sits around inside her, eating away at her soul. she wants to forgive the father, tell him the truth, and then go try and find the child but she knows she just can't do that. she has a bright future ahead of her and doing any of that threatens to ruin all of her hard work.
habits can be kind of funny, don't you think?
nail biting, talking too fast when she stressed, tapping out a song with her finger nail when thinking, humming, cooking when nervous or worried, biting her lip, eavesdropping
what're some of your likes and dislikes?
snow fall, the beach, strawberries, pasta, expensive things, being spoiled, fawned over, shopping, being with friends, falling in love, playing piano, singing, museums, being the best------------
snakes, boredom, liars, broken hearts, losing at anything, indian food, anything too spicy, not being good enough for someone, people assuming they know her
you've got some weaknesses? you shouldn't tell me, i'll use it against you. you've got strengths, too?
quick to get angry, holds grudges, hard time trusting new comers, too independent at times, keeps emotions inside------------
musically gifted, smart, cares about others, amazing cook, sense of fashion is natural for her

the worst point of your life must have sucked, yeah?
the night she realized that her boyfriend had left without word. she had gone to his house with a movie and some cookies she had baked that day for some time alone, only to find out from his mother that he had left her a note saying he was heading out on a trip and that he didn't know when he would be back. he didn't say anything other then that he was safe and that he would call if he felt the need to. he said nothing in the note to jacqueline. it was like he had forgotten she had existed period. and that's what it felt like for her. like the past year had been worthless to him and that she was just a blip on his radar. it broke her heart.
but i guess the best time made up for it? it always does.
she was five years old and she had just finished learning how to write her own music and had put together a little song. it wasn't longer then two minutes, and it wasn't even that good, but she played it for her brother's birthday as a present for him and her mother had cried. the family had loved it, claimed she had been beautiful playing it, and that it sounded amazing. she had never felt so loved and wonderful as she did at that point. and she loved that her brother claimed it to be the best birthday present he had ever gotten.
hi, i'm reese and i think i'm pretty long winded. i've been around the block for old enough years, but the roleplay scene's only been my thing for eight years. i got over to this place through random searching, so let's give them a shout out. oh, and by the way, i play no one else here too.
HE SHATTERED SOMETHING ELSE
to drag her suitcase down the path
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
a soft sigh sounded through the room as kat sat in the plush chair that was seated in the middle of the room. she was surrounded by a flurry of motion, maids scurrying all around her as she sat and let them. she currently waited as the hair dresser set her hair. messily pulled back, tendrils falling around her face, the perfect up-do for her pretty face. or so the hair dresser had said. she had already gone through the make-up debacle and listened as the guy fawned over her 'porcelain doll' skin and how he would kill to have it. she was at the landon estate, preparing for the masquerade ball that was held there every year, hosted by the landon and carmichael family's. xander had asked her to come to his estate to get ready because he would be unable to come pick her up and he wanted to be the one she walked in with. she had wanted that too, seeing how it was going to be a media circus and lukas and allana would both be there. she didn't want lukas to see her walk in alone. so she had agreed to get ready on location.
little did she know that it meant emily would demand her hair and make-up people took care of her. nor did she expect a maid to draw her up a bath and then light scented candles to relax her. the only thing all of this did was make her more self conscious. she thought xander would know by now that this kind of attention, people that close to her and in her face, made her anxious and stressed. not to mention her parents had returned last night and her father had more then a few things to say to her. so had there not been an event tonight she would have stayed hidden in her room and ignored everything. but she had promised and spent a long time figuring out everything for tonight. she had promised xander that it would be perfect. and it had to be. but right then? she felt anything but perfect. in fact, she felt ugly and worthless.
but if there was one thing she was good at, it was putting on an act. so she would straighten up and smile when she entered the room on xander's arm. she would act like the perfect lady she was raised to be. and all the while she would hope that neither her brother or lukas noticed any differently. adrian would demand they talk and lukas would probably consider it a victory and think she was unhappy with xander. when the truth couldn't be further from that. she was so happy with xander, not as happy as she could be, but she was happy. for the most part. she knew she could be happier, but what could she do about that right now? sighing again, kat let her mind wander as she waited for her hair to be finished. they were getting low on time, xander's personal assistant having come in twenty minutes ago to inform them of that fact. people were already starting to arrive, but xander knew that if they came in later, it would be a better entrance. she had agreed.
"finished dear," the hair stylist had said, stepping back and allowing kat to look it over. perfection. she looked beautiful and she hadn't even gotten dressed yet. she was sure to be a hit tonight. without a doubt. as soon as she stood and thanked the lady, she was whisked away and was being stripped of her robe covering her undergarments so she could be helped into her dress. she had been helped in this fashion many times before, but she still hated it. she wanted to tell them that she could do it, but it had meant a lot to emily. so she would suck it up and just deal. she allowed the dressed to be pulled on her and zipped before she stepped into the heels that were presented to her. she was fawned over a few more moments before all three of the maids stepped back and allowed kat to really look herself over. they had done an amazing job, that much was certain. and the dress looked amazing. now all she needed was her mask.
a mask that she had made especially for tonight. for the past five years she had worn the same one, a symbol of sorts. new dress with an old mask. but since last year she had come with lukas, she needed a new one. custom made. and complimented her dress wonderfully. one of the maids helped her place it on her face before she looked over the final product. "can you just tell xander to come in when he arrives?" kat told the maid, she really wasn't in the mood to open a door and greet him as if he were coming to her house and picking her up. this was his home, she was just a guest. smoothing her hands over her dress, she frowned slightly as she looked herself over some more. she knew everyone would love it, too bad she just didn't feel the same. but now it was time to put on a happy face.
