thepersonality
Describe your character's personality:

Elizabeth, known mostly as Black, is nice, loyal, and terribly shy. She tries not to be naive, because of what that used to bring her as a kid. She hides behind her smiling mask, hiding her depression and anxiety from everyone else. Its the only thing she can do to get by, day to day.
Black tries to give people the benefit of the doubt but she has a hard time trusting guys. She feels that everyone will be like her dad. Despite this wariness, she's a romantic at heart. She hopes to find someone who can sweep her off her feet and prove her wrong, but so far no one has.
Aside from guys, she's smart and does well in school. She's studying to be an Illustrator but in the meantime, she sings at the Redhead Piano Bar to earn extra money.

thehistory
Describe your character's history:

Born to Liam and Crystal Star in South Carolina, Black completed their little family. She was the little girl they had been hoping for. A beautiful bouncing baby. As a young girl, Black adopted quickly to new things, unlike now. She learned to read pretty fast, falling completely in love with books. She did well in elementary school, even getting on the Principle's List a few times. She was smart, pretty, and kind. Too bad things can't always stay like this...
Liam had a drinking problem. Crystal knew it but it was something Black didn't understand. At least until one night. Black was only 10 years old when her father came staggering into her room, around midnight. He had woken her from a deep sleep, dreaming the innocent dreams of a kid. What he did that night took that innocence away from her forever. Liam told her that she was his baby girl, how beautiful she was, and how smart. He was telling her all this as he pulled her night dress off and was caressing her body in ways a father should not touch his daughter. Black was scared and unsure. But she loved her dad... When he started getting rougher with her, she started crying. He hit her, telling her to be quiet or else he would hurt her more. She listened. Liam only caressed that night and for the next few weeks, that's all he did. A month or so later, he did much much more than caressing.
Black was humiliated by what he did to her. She couldn't stop him though. She was forced to wear long sleeves to hide the bruises on her arms and bear the soreness between her legs. When she was alone, she would cry silently, hugging herself and telling herself that her daddy loved her. Naivety was a bad thing during this time. One night, while Liam was abusing Black again, Crystal got home from work early and discovered the cause of Black's sudden depression and drop in grades. She called the police and demanded for a divorce.
Crystal never thought Liam would do that and put Black through years of therapy. She started getting better, grades picking up. But she couldn't shake off the horrible past of hers. Especially when letters from Liam started coming. By then, Crystal had married again, to a man named David Tilden. Seeing that Liam wanted to see Black, Crystal begged David to send her away. So he paid for the Art Institute of Chicago, one of the best art schools in the country. She's been here three years now, and misses her family.
