DISTINGUISHING FEATURES: bright pink hair, rather pale skin, always pretty bubbly and optimistic.
PHYSICAL APPEARENCE:

when one looks at aurora, they might not be sure what to think. while her bright hair and pale skin would lead you to think she’s a ‘scene’ kid, her lack of neon and black attire would beg to differ. she really isn’t a scene kid. her skin is pale because, well, she doesn’t tan very well. why is her hair such a bright pink? well, why not? she doesn’t have the bright hair or wear the brighter make up for attention; the brighter colors along with more fashionable clothing are just aurora. unlike many people, the girl is the way she is just because it’s what she prefers.

rory is at an average stature for a girl. she’s 5’3, with a weight of 105 pounds. it’s a good height/weight ratio for her, because it doesn’t make her look too skinny, nor does it make her look too chubby. aurora is well proportioned with her curves, nothing giant but nothing too small. her skin is very fair, her cheeks only taking on a bit of color with the application of blush. she generally wears make up, not a lot, but more than a little. her eyes are usually highlighted by eye shadow of some sort, whether it’s a more natural tone or a bright blue or some other color. her lips are coated in either lip gloss or lipstick at all times to give them a bit more color. her hair contrasts with her light skin, though it fits her very well. people have come to take the pink hair as a part of her, and can’t imagine her with the colors she’s had before. rory as a blonde? definitely not.

CLOTHING STYLE:

though she usually tries to wear more subdued colors so people aren’t overloaded by bright, sometimes rory wears those lighter tones. her wardrobe couldn’t be described by one stereotype. she’s got so many different pieces that would make so many different looks put together. one day she could be wearing a sundress, and the next she’ll be wearing skinny jeans and a band tee. it all depends on aurora’s mood on that particular day. her accessories change with the outfits too. one day her chunky jewelry will be the main focus of the outfit, while the next she’ll wear a simple pendant. her earrings change like that as well. they go from cute and funky to dangling and elegant. so just pay attention to her clothing if you really want to see what mood she’s in.

LIKES: animals, photography, iphones and blackberrys, citrus smells, being in a relationship, cuddling, being snug under the covers, sunglasses, that really great feeling you get after doing something nice, concerts, movie nights, twitter, kisses.
DISLIKES: animal cruelty, drugs, sluts, meat, smoking, liars, nosy people, really bright days, spiders, really sappy love stories, eternal optimists, myspace, bad news, stalkers, sell-outs.
STRENGTHS: good listener, generally doesn't judge, helpful
WEAKNESSES: will do anything for her friends, has a pretty bad temper, loses most inhibitions when intoxicated
GOALS: become a professional photographer, forget about her ex
FEARS: heights, dying too young, that she'll never get over her ex.
HABITS: starting to become a bit too dependent on alcohol to help her forget her problems, always tries to get to the bottom of a friend's bad mood.
OVERALL PERSONALITY:

outgoing – aurora is very outgoing. it isn’t hard for her to act strange in public places or make new friends. it doesn’t scare her talking in front of large groups or having to make new friends. if the girl thinks someone’s hair is beautiful, or she loves their shoes, it won’t be a problem for her to go up to them and tell them that. it only turns into a problem if the person is extremely rude or mean, and that’s when she usually gets angry.

loyal – she’s very loyal to the friends she has, and rarely does a secret of theirs slip out. rory can’t always help it. aside from that, she won’t do anything to purposely go against her friends’ wishes. they’re a big part of her life being on tour, so it isn’t going to be fun losing a friend or two. if they need anything, she won’t hesitate to do so. aurora will listen if they need to vent, and it isn’t unlikely for her to trade a night out for being a shoulder to cry on. the only time her loyalty is ever in question is when there’s a problem between two of her friends, and then it’s difficult for the girl to be a friend. of course, she tries to fix the problem.

personable – though she may seem to most like to type to be a rebellious teenager who doesn’t care, that isn’t the case. the girl is polite and also helpful, meaning if you’re having any issues, whether it’s finding something or fixing a problem, she’ll do her best to help you out. sometimes it can be annoying, but oftentimes aurora knows when to stop. but not always. she’s very polite to everyone, unless they’ve given her a reason to be disrespectful. that doesn’t happen a lot though, so your first impression of her will probably be a good one. the only time it really won’t will be if you’re rude to her, or you catch her in a bad mood.

easily manipulated/manipulative – it isn’t that she really tries, but aurora can be a bit manipulative. it’s easy to manipulate her too. when someone doesn’t want to do something with her, or something similar, rory often makes people feel guilty. sometimes it’s on purpose, but not a lot. she just gets sad when people can’t spend time with her, and it makes them feel worse. it also works the opposite way. when rory feels guilty, it’s easy for her to just do whatever it was you wanted. also, her friends can make her do anything. the girl never wants to upset them, so she can’t really say no to them.

honest – yes, she does do what most do and say the little white lie every once in a while, but aurora will usually tell the truth. the teenager doesn’t want her friends to be embarrassed, so if they ask if they look fat, she’ll break it to them lightly. it isn’t cool to be lied to and make a fool of yourself. of course, if she’s in a bad mood, beware. aurora tends to be brutally honest when she’s in a bad mood. if you’re one of her enemies, you’re not going to get the warmest welcome, and if you’re her friend, expect one or two rude remarks. they aren’t necessarily true, but it’s what she’s probably thinking at the moment.

bad temper – if rory is angry, she’s angry. it’s best you stay out of her way, because she’s going to be a huge bitch, and arguments are easily started. if you’ve crossed her in any way, or if you’re an enemy, it wouldn’t be odd for her to start a physical fight. her temper is pretty horrible, and it can be pretty scary, actually. her friends can’t always calm her down, and they’ll get yelled at just for interfering. some friends do have to ability to calm aurora down, but they’re usually her good friends. it’s something they’re used to, so it isn’t difficult to avoid any serious problems.

stubborn – aurora won’t change her mind very easily. if she feels a certain way about something, odds are you can’t change that. if she doesn’t want to do something, you’re not changing that. when her stubbornness is paired with her temper, something bad will most definitely happen. rory doesn’t like to be told what to think, and once her mind is made, it’s made. a lot of times her being stubborn doesn’t get in the way, but it occasionally will in a big way. a rule of thumb is to watch what you say, because if you pick your words correctly, you can avoid arguments.

HISTORY:

makaila and richard never had a difficult relationship, and no one ever freaked out about them being together. the two met in college, went on a couple dates before making it official. at their college graduation, richard proposed to makaila, and she obviously said yes. the two were inseparable. everyone knew they would be together forever. the two planned their wedding for a year, as they had to book the church a year in advance. they weren’t highly religious, but enough as to where they would get married in a church. there was just one thing that wasn’t so holy of them. about a month and a half before the wedding, after leaving a friend’s party completely wasted, makaila and richard conceived a child. they didn’t tell anyone because it wasn’t right to have sex before marriage, and they didn’t want to be looked down upon. when she learned she was pregnant, the woman instantly thought up a plan. she wouldn’t be showing much by the wedding, so the woman wouldn’t say anything until about a month after. it would make sense, since most usually had sex on the night of their honeymoon.

the wedding went by perfectly, and no one knew of her pregnancy. going with her plan, about a month after the wedding, makaila announced her pregnancy. no one suspected a thing, and it worked out well. her pregnancy went smoothly, aside from being bedridden the last month. it was difficult, but richard had made sure his wife followed doctor’s orders. on may 3, the woman gave birth to aurora riley burton. she was a healthy, beautiful baby girl. everyone was happy, and they became the perfect little family. things went smoothly, enough so that they decided to give aurora a younger sibling. since they loved kids, why not? a year and a half after rory was brought into the world, her brother michael was born. the girl loved him right away, and when he got older, the two got along wonderfully. their childhood was great, they learned everything without any difficulties, had no problems making friends, and ultimately had no problems at home. well, until aurora was in fifth grade.

when aurora was eleven, she was surprised one day by her mother picking her and her brother up at school. it seemed like a good day at first. after all, her mother came to pick her and her brother up early at school. what kid didn’t love that? but when they saw that their mother had been crying, it wasn’t so great. something had to be wrong, and it scared them. when the two heard the bad news about their father, they cried uncontrollably, as expected. they didn’t know if he was going to survive. his car had been hit by a drunk driver. they went to the hospital immediately to visit him and talk to the doctors. their prognosis wasn’t good, and all they could do was hope for the best. over time, things got better. he recovered fully after a couple months of hard work. he still had a few minor problems, but nothing too bad. everyone was just completely happy the man was alive. life was pretty wonderful yet again until aurora entered eighth grade. things went downhill from there.

at first, it really was perfect. she had her first boyfriend, and no one really expected it to last long. after all, they were still young. that factor didn’t seemed to mean much. the two fell head over heels in love, and never wanted to break up. they seemed like the perfect couple, and they rarely ever fought. they were the epitome of cliché, as most put it. not wanting break up to didn’t mean it wasn’t eventually going to happen though. after two years and many ups and downs, they finally broke up. well, rory simply told him she was leaving. over the past two years, he’d been treating her like dirt in front of his friends. he’d boss her around, giving her little respect. he had also pushed her into the habit of smoking, something rory had never wanted to do. he was amazing when it was just them though. this treatment didn’t seem right to her, and she needed to straighten things out. life with him was amazing, but it was also not that amazing at the same time. she couldn’t live with that.

the first couple of months afterwards were difficult, as he’d try to confront her in school and avoiding him was hard. aurora looked into online high school courses, and brought up the idea to her parents. they were contemplating it, and were just about to give in when they decided to move. it had been a thought in their minds for a while, and it seemed like a good time to do it. rory wasn’t particularly happy about leaving her friends, but it would mean a change of schools. and now, after a few months, aurora is plenty happy with the choice of moving.
