Over All: There is honestly one word that can describe the way that Alexis Partridge looks and dresses. Fresh. She is pretty much one of those girls who can look gorgeous 98% of the time, without much effort. And to add to that fact, she's not vain at all. Awesome, right? Awesome indeed. The teenager is very much into the whole fashion scene, despite the fact that she can make most daggy outfits look pretty good. So, back on track, Alexis has a good fashion sense. This ranges from vintage clothes, very few designer outfits, to straight off the rack. She prefers clothes that look nice, but look vibrant, vintage and unique. She's never one to follow the trends, so the speak, but in most cases Alex likes the looks of them. It's as simple as that.
As a teenager, the girl has pretty much begun to fill out her body. Alexis Partridge used to be quite chubby as a child, however as she grew older, the girl got the weight off. Although she is short, she has a matching nice physique. Alex isn't chubby anymore, but neither is she a stick figure. The girl has an average torso and arms, however a bit of a curvy waist, which eventually thin out into fitting legs. The girl is grateful that she isn't flat-chested, either. Alexis is one of those people who are comfortable with her body. She doesn't have a bad body, for allot of people (in this case, guys) have complimented her about having some meat. Lets just say the girl isn't one of those teenager who dread over not being skinny enough.
Down to the nitty gritty features, Alexis is generally described as gorgeous. She hasn't got seductive eyes, or lush lips that make girls hot. Nor does the teenager has narrow cheekbones or a classic face to make her beautiful. She's honestly just cute. Sure, not the constant hot-topic of school, but known well enough as attractive. Alex's skin tone is fair, which suits her just fine. The girl has naturally chestnut hair, which changes from an orangey brown, to a browny orange in different lights. Her hair is quite full, being cut in choppy layers down past her shoulders, with a stylish fringe to match. Alexis has rosy cheeks that are dotted with a few freckles, a cute nose, straight teeth surrounded by suiting lips. The girl's eyes aren't anything out of the ordinary - chocolate brown with a glint of black, outline's with thick dark lashes. Really, Alexis Partridge is very confident with her style and looks.

General Personality: There are two main sides to Alexis Partridge. They're fairly straightforward, really. The brighter of the two is her cheery, bubbly and bouncy personality. The teenager loves to be one of those people who make others laugh, smile, and have a good time. Because of these facts, Alex is also a bit of a flirt. Nothing to cause a commitment, just playful flirting with guys she's appealed to. Now, she doesn't lead anyone on, though, the girl isn't into that kind of stuff. She loves attention most of the time, and is juts a natural at being social. In this, Alexis is a positive and passionate person. She almost can't stand it when people are negative about everything, and pessimistic. She never judges others on what they wear, what they look like, their race, or orientation. Nor does the girl care about blood-lines. To her, it's just another reason to cause corruption in the world, and frankly thats pointless to Alex.
The other side, well, Alex doesn't show it to many. As a child growing up, the girl had allot of issues to deal with. They weren't life-threatening, but just stressing. And so, these events caused her to form a shell. When something went wrong, Alexis Partridge would shrink into the background, and become fairly anti-social. As she grew older, the girl used this shell less and less, and became more laid back when troubles stirred, instead of just hiding away in her own world. When the Partridge girl gets down in the dumps, she simply takes some time out to be alone, rather than being her usual social butterfly, to let the dust settle.
Besides her two main sides, Alexis has other interests that make up who is is. The girl isn't into makeup allot and she isn't obsessed with fashion, despite her good clothing senses. Nor is her main topic about the cutest boys, or how much she hates her body and skin. Alex is interested in allot of things some teenagers aren't. She is involved in music, and was taught to play the acoustic guitar from a young age. She is very passionate about music, and it somehow effects her every day. The teenager is also very artistic, and enjoys painting whenever she gets the free time. As an addition, the girl led her life somewhat alternative. She has been a vegetarian from a couple of years. She supports allot of different “hippie” campaigns and such. The Partridge girl has dreams to travel all over the world when she gets older, and so she already knows a great deal about different religions, customs and places outside of the USA and UK. Alexis was raised as a very open-minded girl. She gives everyone a fair go, and actually listens to what they have to say. Really, she is a friend to everyone who gives her the chance, and brightens up ones day.

History: Alexis Ella Partridge was born on the 16th of June into a large family. She was the youngest of four children, the other three of which were boys. So really, Alex was quite the godsend to her parents Mandy and Landon. Their three sons had been quite the handful, so a baby girl was quite a refreshment. Sebastian is the eldest of the sons, and is currently 19 years of age. Jackson and Jason are the family twins, so both of whom are 17 this year. Despite the slight age gaps, the three boys always managed to move storms, depending on their attitudes and behavior. When Alexis joined the family, the boys became a little more settled, due to the fact that they were developing with a new baby around. All of the Partridge children were mini forms of their their mother or father; Sebastian and Alexis shared their mothers looks, and Jackson and Jason their fathers. Really, the family was well off, and a loving one at that.
Landon and Mandy were good parents, for they were loving and they provided a great household. They both worked every day after the children were sent to school, though in Alex's case, sent to her Aunty's home, who was a housewife. The two worked in the same department, as lawyers. They were respected, kind people. But as some say, it is often the innocent who are hurt, and that is this exact case. The Partridge parents were driving home late one night, due to a staff meeting, as they had done so many times before. It was a Friday night, so allot of party-makers and youth were out on the streets, drinking and such. As the two were driving, a young man ran out onto the road, apparently drunk. As the streets were quiet at this hour, Landon swerved to miss him, but unfortunately, another car was headed in their direction. Even more unfortunate, this driver was under the influence of alcohol. As you may have guessed, the two cars collided, killing one of the Partridge Parents, the other becoming severely injured. Mandy died that very night, his wife however took weeks to recover.
The children took this extremely hard. And of course they did. Who wouldn't? They had just lost their mother, and to someone who was indecent enough to think before drinking and driving. Sebastian understood it the most, and so it effected him the most. Jason and Jackson had almost an equal impact, wheres Alexis didn't understand it at first. She was so young, and so the details were spared to her young mind. To the toddler, Mummy had just gone to heaven, instead of being killed in an accident involving a drunken driver. No, it was not right to pollute any of the youngsters minds with this information, so it was kept from them until they were at a mature age to comprehend it. For the next few years, Landon tried to help and heal the places where his wife, and his children's mother had been. The man knew only too well how much it hurt, and so he took a years leave off, helping to care for his four children. It was a painful and hard task, but the man put his everything into it. One and half years later, the boys and girl had convinced themselves that everything was going to be okay - for daddy was still there.
Growing up over the next few years weren't as smooth as could be, though. Alexis didn't cope very well whenever other kids innocently asked about her mother. She couldn't speak about it, because even as a young girl, it just hurt too much. This is where the bubble, or the shell started. Alex would go into her own little safe world whenever she felt threatened or alone, instead of crying and seeking attention. It was just what she did. Landon since then had changed his profession, and studies to become a psychiatrist. He observed this pattern in his daughter, and yet again, worked on becoming her aid. Sebastian, Jason and Jackson had all matured since then, and were the class big brother - they looked out for her.
So up until the age of ten, Alexis had developed into a shy, chubby child, with not many friends. Since then, the family had been living in the outside of London. Due to some financial reasons, Landon had announced that the Partridge family was moving to Kennington, in the USA. Alexis of ten, the twins of twelve, and Sebastian of fourteen all adapted to this differently. Alex had always wanted to travel more, and so the city seemed to be a great change for her. Jackson and Jason were okay with this. At twelve, they were interested in allot of different things, so they didn't mind all too much. Sebastian, however, hated this decision. He was at an age when things were rolling smoothly. He had a charming and handsome boy, with many friends, and the last thing he wanted to do was move half way around the world. But it had to be done, if the Partridge family wished to live the luxurious life they always had.
Since then, Alexis and her brothers settled into Kennington very nicely. Their father got a well-paid job as a lawyer, and all children picked up where they left off. Sebastian started high school with a bang, soon becoming very popular and well known. Jackson and Jason then increased this reputation as they began to grown into High School Jocks. Alexis, however, took a different approach. Instead of conforming to all the clicks and trends, the girl did what she wanted. Alex became a vegetarian, she continued to listen to her UK music, and dressed the way she wanted. Soon enough, people began to notice and recognize her, and many soon joined her as friends. The popular Partridge reputation only grew with this, as the four children had contributed their ways to the school. Sebastian being the smart one, the twins being the jocks, and Alexis being the bright bubbly one. And now, the youngest of the family is about to take another year into her stride. *
Miscellaneous
[/b][/center]RP Sample: Mackenzie Belmont - Kwasnik Academy
This was it. No turning back, not chickening out, no bailing or calling in sick. Mackenzie had no way out of it this time. But was that a bad thing? Not really, because it was only going to push her further in her musical career. It was just the fact that she had never, and I mean never performed in front of more than ten or so people. And now she was at a real live gig, as a lead up act to a popular Youth Band. Why, oh why had she let Rick let her talk her into this? It was simply madness. But in a good way, Mack supposed. As the artist already on stage finished his last chord, the audience of about a hundred compiled a meek applause. Tough crowd, now that sucked. Mackenzie wasn't regretting this decision, or implying that she thought she sucked, but it was just nerves. She was aware that not all people liked acoustic guitar, and so she hoped they would give her a chance.
"Now, Ladies and Gentlemen! We have one more act for you before Dash and Will perform! Please give a warm welcome to... Mackenzie Belmont!" the cheesy announcer only mustered another weak series of claps. The girl looked down at herself, checking over the casual, yet stylish outfit she had chosen. Red converses, gray skinny jeans, a black and gold silk shirt that buttons up the front, a red, white and black neck scarf, and a red cardigan with the front undone, and the sleeves pushed up. In her hand was one of her guitars, and as the girl stepped on stage, a smile found it's way to her face. Her nerves were still bouncing about, as Mackenzie sat on the wooden stool they had provided for her. She fumbled with the mike, pulling it out of the holder, and brining it a bit closer to her mouth. "This is a song by a band called All Time Low. It's called running from Lions." Mack said clearly, and saw a few of the youth boys look at each other and nod. The fifteen year old placed the mike back on it's stand, and adjusted it so that it came closer to her face. The girl strummed her guitar a couple of times, before tapping her left foot, ready to start.
The strumming was fast and catchy at first. This continues for about 30 seconds before she actually started singing. But, when she did start, all nerves faded, and Mackenzie felt quite comfortable.
"Get me out of this place, before I cause more damage,
a small price to pay for building houses out of matchsticks;
and when things get too hot, you've got me to blame for,
every fire that breaks out in every lover's name, so...
Don't forget, we've got unfinished business,
stories yet to unfold,
tales that must be retold,
and I regret not knowing when to put an end to all this madness,
keeps me wanting,
keeps me wanting more...
Sell me out I'm yesterday's old news,
phrases left on paper,
black ink bleeding through
the pages where we made our history.
Call me foolish,
I feel hopeless..
Like a dear caught in the headlights
I won't know what hit me...
Running from lions,
never felt like such a mistake!"
By this time, people were clapping along, most of them grinning, and some head-bobbers were evening picking up. The girl noticed as she picked up again, a drummer from the previous band had come onto stage, giving her a background beat.
"Don't forget, we've got unfinished business!
stories yet to unfold,
tales that must be retold,
and I regret not knowing when to put an end to all this madness,
keeps me wanting,
keeps me wanting more..."
The last chord only lasted for a few seconds, as Mack's fingers dances down the strings to finish the song. Immediately, she looked up, a pleased smile on her face. The girl's amber hair had fallen across her face, and so the teenager swept it back, only to allow her sight of the audience to free up. They were all grinning, and after a second, a large round of claps echoed through the venue. Some of the boys at the back whistles, while other girls hollard encouraging phrases. Mackenzie chuckled lightly, before leaning up to the mike again. Rick never said it was going to be this easy. "Thanks everyone," she said, letting the crowd die down a little. "The next song is an acoustic version of the song Baby, by Chiodos. I hope you like it." and with that, the girl picked up her guitar, and began to play again.
It looked as if this was going to be a golden moment for the rest of her life.
