DISTINGUISHING FEATURES: Her bleach blond hair and height are the only two main factors that make her stand out from the crowd.
PHYSICAL APPEARENCE:

When it comes to looks, Siggy was never left behind. Though she was born with dark blond hair to match her father's, it eventually lightened out to match that of her grandmother's, who always had a natural platinum look to her hair. It reaches just past her thin shoulders and it is usually wavy and kept up in a messy bun just out of habit with a few strands constantly falling around her face. Her eyes are ever so slightly feline, less than when she was a child,but now they are more round and wide, being a bright blue hue that has stayed with her since birth thankfully. Most people describe her as a sort of 'other worldly' beauty or a 'vintage' sort of look because of her classic full lips, blond hair, and blue eyes. The foreign look stems from her ridiculous height. Like both of her parents, she got the 'giant freak' gene and she is mostly all legs. She has a bust of 32, a waist of 24, and hips of 34 so she is somewhat proportional. She's thin, if those measurements didn't give her away, and has skin that leans more toward the pale side than the golden goddess side. She has a forget-me-not flower, her favorite, tattooed onto the back of her left ear looking like the wind is blowing the petals off. Each petal represents an important person in her life and all together she has three. She has her smiley pierced (which is between her upper lip and her gums in case anyone doesn't know) and her nipples pierced. To her-hidden is better than going over the top.

CLOTHING STYLE:

When it comes to clothing, Signe has one thing about her that makes her seem like the opposite of her own upbringing. Her mother, always the fashionista and gorgeous socialite, always had the tendency to push designer brands onto Signe, in hopes she will maybe someday become fashion savvy. The only problem with that was Signe's lack of interest in fashion all together. She tends to simply pick up whatever she finds lying around in her home and wears it, regardless of who it belongs to. It was a habit she picked up from her God mother, Esperanza, and because of that habit, her fashion sense could seem a bit off. One day she could be rocking pumps with a ratty band tee shirt and floral skirt with heart shaped glasses and the next she could be wearing overalls with combat boots and a tube top with highlighter green accessories bouncing all over the place. The one item she never ever takes off is her father's brass cross earrings that he had since he was eleven. She ALWAYS wears them, no matter the occasion, and taking them off would be like suicide to her.

LIKES: brass colored jewelry, the smell of coconut and vanilla, cookies and cream icecream, cigarettes, foreign films, tattoos.
DISLIKES: apples, licorice, the word 'cunt', Hawaiian print anything, lame Asian jokes, when people make fun of her accent.
STRENGTHS: Anything academic-related, art, being a good listener.
WEAKNESSES: Slight pushover, sports unless it is running long distances, her family.
GOALS: To become a tattoo artist, to get her mother to stop having so many plastic surgeries, to see her father and god mother again, to be kissed before she returns to Singapore.
FEARS: Performing anything sports related because she knows she is horrible at it, rejection from her family.
HABITS: Make weird faces when she's confused or thinking about something really hard, painting her nails over and over so she won't bite them.
OVERALL PERSONALITY:

Signe has a particularly strange personality. She is a mixture of goods and bads but deep down and overall, she really is just a good kid who got mixed up in the wrong scene. When it comes to friends, Signe is probably the most loyal one anyone could ever have. Even if you are wrong she will stick up for you and swim across the ocean for you...Well, she'll only do that if you are her best friend...If not she'll just be a great listener, really nice, and if you are wrong, she will kindly point out that you are and that maybe YOU should be the one to apologize and not the other person. When it comes to the people around her, she just sort of seems spacey, apparently, and it was how many magazines deemed her as the best jail bait with 'bedroom eyes'. She's usually just really deep in thought and thus doesn't pay much attention to her own facial expressions. Truth be told, Signe is a total pushover. Seriously. Like her father, fi you ask her nice enough and it seems logical, she will do it without hesitation.

Another thing about her is that, like her father, she thinks logically. If something doesn't make sense logically but does emotionally, she seriously will not understand. She tends to come off as a know-it-all because of that; having a tendency to correct people's grammar and pronunciation of words. She reserved, though, and prefers to keep to herself and have the company of one or two other people than the entire football team if you know what I mean.

When she's pissed, don't expect her to say much about it. Normally she will simply lock herself up in a closet, whatever closet is available, and just sort of sit in the center and meditate so she doesn't end up exploding. She has yet to really snap at anyone and as of late, when she locks herself in a closet, she is usually shooting up heroin in order to keep her calm so she doesn't rip someone's head off. It is how she relieves stress, which she has a lot of because she has a lot of expectations to full fill and she knows for a fact she can't full fill them. She doesn't want to be a business woman just like her father didn't want to be a business man-he wanted to be a pilot. Signe wants to be a tattoo artist. Granted the job won't pay her much, but she loves the idea of her art permanently on someone's skin.

When it comes to love or anything in that realm, she has never been kissed, never been with a male or female, or anything sexual. The most sexual anyone got with her was when they smacked her butt by accident on the street, thinking she was someone else. It earned them a black eye by her god mother so obviously, when it comes to sex, she is a total prude. It is her goal, however, to get kissed before she turns sixteen in December.

HISTORY:

In order to understand the story of Signe Baldwin, one would have to understand the story of Fredrick Baldwin, Esperanza Buganski, and Ai Yamaha, the three most influential people in the life of the fifteen year old. Fredrick was born in London, England to two extremely wealthy and extremely powerful/influential people on that side of the international date line. His mother was a socialite and his father owned tons of business globally under the company Baldwin Global which has been running for as long as the Baldwin family had been around. It is always passed down to the next child born once they reach a certain age and of course, the Baldwins were notoriously known for only being able to produce one offspring. Therefore-no aunts or uncles or cousins...on both sides. Fredrick moved to a small town in Georgia for a business deal when he was five and it was there that he met Esperanza Buganski, the daughter of a billionaire couple that his parents were making the business transaction with. As the years rolled by, the two became best friends and Fred followed her to the end of the earth and vice versa. However, at the age of nineteen, he had to take over the family business but in order to do so he needed to produce an 'heir'. The first person everyone originally thought would become his wife, Esperanza, ended up being eliminated as a candidate because of her drug abuse and constant bad light in the media. Therefore, the Baldwins went to the Yamaha family in Tokyo, a family they had been friends with for years and were hoping could break the 'one offspring' curse since they had eight sons and one daughter. He was then, shortly after, married off to Ai Yamaha, a superficial, self absorbed, and spoiled female whose main concern was to look like a goddess to the media and for years, she did. The only problem with the reunion was that Freds completely and one hundred percent believed that he was gay...

Ai was the first female he ever did anything remotely sexual with and though they had sex rarely, at one of those points, she became pregnant. The couple moved to Singapore since Freds' family had business there, and on New Year's Eve, little Signe was born. Being that Esperanza, whom Ai hated thoroughly, was Signe's god mother, she was given her name as her middle name and while growing up, Signe learned who was who and what role they played in her life. Her father was Freds and she called her Ai by her name and Esperanza Mama only because Ai was constantly complaining that Signe ruined her figure and since then underwent surgery after surgery to achieve some idea of perfection. Because she was so busy trying to play Barbie, Signe ended up being raised by her father and godmother, the two eventually striking up a romance that lead to one hell of an affair though thankfully it wasn't caught by the media.

She was home schooled her entire life and though she should technically be a sophomore in highschool, she has the intelligence equivalent to that of a college graduate thanks to her father, who pushed homeschooling her the way he was-so that she wouldn't be tainted by society. Instead, she became tainted by her god mother, who was a free loving bird that had no problem using drugs in front of Signe by the time she was ten and when Signe was seven, she picked up her first cigarette which, surprisingly, were Esperanza's-who said she oculd only smoke them once in a while. Instead she became a chain smoker, unable to relive stress without them. At thirteen, once Ai was tired of the constant criticism from all the 'blue blood' families, she grabbed Signe, packed up their things, and moved to Tokyo from Paris where they had been staying for a year or so now. Signe spent a year in Tokyo, having little to no contact with her father and godmother and when her father was finally able to come after her (she and Ai just kept moving around Japan so Freds wouldn't find them) Ai gave him an ultimatum and in order to see Signe again-he would have to stop talking to Esperanza.

It broke Signe's heart when he actually hesitated. He ended up picking Signe and soon enough, the three moved to California only six months or so ago and just recently, about a week ago, started attending school for the first time in her life. Since he stopped talking to Esperanza, Signe noticed how radically different his personality was. He became more of a workaholic and he spent most of his time either at work or cooped up in his office, usually ignoring everyone and everything if it didn't involve work. Her mother continued being the way she was, and Signe spent most of her days just wandering around the city, attempting to find new things and new people to occupy her time since she constantly skips class because she knows everything that's going on anyway.... Her abuse for prescription pills which was basically kept to a minimal that started when she was thirteen suddenly grew worse and she eventually moved on to heroin when she arrived in Tokyo a while ago. She's been addicted to heroin since then and has been attempting to quit in order to maybe not feel like a socially retarded outcast who still doesn't understand the point of cliques or asking to go to the bathroom. That and what on earth is wrong with using your cellphone in class? Either way, she may be popular in the media for giving the Queen of England a cookie when she was five and for having super billionaire parents and such...but in highschool, they just find her strange.
