FACE CLAIM: •TRACHTENBERG, Michelle playing Elaine Marie Black

PERSONALITY:

• gambler. Gambling is her life. Without it, she isn't alive at all. She loves the fact that it's easy money. And with her luck, the money just keeps on rolling in.
  
• alcoholic. If gambling is her life, then alcohol is her blood. Nothing like a hard drink to brighten her day. Or night for that matter. And better yet, she never gets drunk.
  
• musically-inclined. Other than gambling and alcohol, her third love is music. She loves listening to music. She also loves making music with her guitar or a piano. And sometimes, she also sings along.
  
• happy-go-lucky. She can't help it if she's like that. With her luck and cheeful disposition, she's definitely bound to be a happy go lucky person. A kind of person who always has a smile on her face, no matter what happens.
  
• spontaneous. She has a tendency to do whatever she wants on whim, thanks to insurance of her luck. It also means she's quick to anger and quick to please. She's quite impulsive and seems to be quite eager to get into messes.
  

BEST QUALITY:

• happy-go-lucky. Her smile is quite infectious, though her disposition can be quite annoying. She's like the sunshine on a stormy day.

WORST QUALITY:

• spontaneous. With her luck, how can she not be dangerous? She can cause trouble with a whim alone and she would probably be the only one who would get out of it unscathed at the very least.

HOBBIES/INTERESTS:

• sneaking drinks when working as a bartender.
  
• gambling when it's not her shift.
  
• playing the guitar when she's not doing either of her jobs.
  
• eating sweets.
  
• sleeping on the sofa instead of the bed.

APPEARANCE: Her child-like appearance fits her child-like disposition, from her height to her build to her facial features. She's short for her age, standing at around five feet. People often mistake her for a teenager, but that didn't stop her from working at a bar full-time at the age of sixteen. She's a little on the thin side, but she tries to eat healthy and all that stuff. She has long dark wavy hair she often lets down, but's it always neat and follows her so she's fine with it. She also has light grey eyes that are always smiling and can never seem serious.

CLOTHING STYLE: She's a down to earth girl, who keeps clear of dresses, skirts, and high heels. She'd rather wear her run-down sneakers and pants anyday. She's not into fashion, but she makes sure that she looks decent.
INSECURITIES: She does worry though, when her luck finally runs out.
ODD/UNUSUAL MARKS: none.

HISTORY: There's nothing much special about her. She's an ordinary kid who didn't enter college since it was too expensive for her family. Her parents are alive and raising her two other younger siblings who are still in middle school. She occasionally visits them, often with gifts for her younger siblings. She's currently living alone in an apartment she bought and currently paying off. She works as a full-time bartender at night at the local bar while a barista at Starbuck's near the beach from dawn til noon. Then she sleeps the rest of the day. On her free days, she spends them with her family or out playing her guitar or the piano. So overall, a pretty boring life.

The only interesting part of her life, she guesses, is that she's been working as a bartender since she was sixteen. She's been a regular at that bar since she was fifteen and no one knows or cares if the do know since she can outdrink anyone in the bar. She also beats them at poker or any card games for that matter. Her family doesn't know, of course.

BEST MEMORY: Her first paycheck. It felt great the she didn't have to save up her allowance anymore to do as she wishes. Her parents finally didn't have power over her, and she can drink and gamble as much as she wants.
WORST MEMORY: While working at the bar, for some reason, she managed to start a fight. It was scary, with all the blood and the violence, especially for a sixteen year old. But she managed to get away unscathed, physically at least. And she kept her job since no one alive knew how the fight started.
