PHYSICAL APPEARANCE;;
the first thing that you can notice about her is that April is constantly changing her hair color. It's usually pink, but it can vary to blonde.. Blue, green, black and many other shades.
She has red brown eyes which she feels are dull compared to her other features. Although, some mornings she'll wake up and scare the crap out of herself, often believing her eyes are supposed to be green. She'd wear contacts to bed, so she could wake up in the morning with green eyes to stop the regular freak out.
Her style could be considered scene, but not exactly. She tends to wear what SHE likes, often the clothes don't even match eachother. She has an odd personality which she shows through her personal style. She blames it on the voices in her head which apparently tell her what to wear every morning.. Leading to some amusing results.
She has a small and slight figure, and seems to be of a healthy weight for her height. Luckily, that's one problem she doesn't have.. Weight issues.

BACKGROUND STORY;;
At a young age, April was found to be an odd girl.. Whenever something went wrong, she'd blame it on the voices inside her head. This naturally piqued her parents interest, and at age 5 she was sent for her first psychiatric assessment.
She was found to be schizophrenic and was given medication to help deal with the symptoms of her disorder, but they didn't seem to be working. At age 6, she stopped speaking to others completely and preferred only to speak to her self and her best friends, or the voices in her mind as she calls them.
he was home schooled, and when she turned 18 she was working in her parents bar, when she met a man around the age of 25, he was charming and treated April like she was an equal, but that was only because he was looking for kicks that night. April fell pregnant, much to her parents dismay.. But they allowed her to continue working at the bar under careful supervision.
Obviously, they hadn't watched close enough and one night when the man who was the father of her baby returned on the arm of another woman; April lost it, attacking the girl and sustaining injuries that led her to the loss of her baby.
Her parents had heard about the ipswich Asylum and decided it was a good idea for her to be sent there; due to fact that April couldn't deal with being in the real world and they were struggling to cope with her.
ROLE-PLAY SAMPLE;;
"Stop squirming, Malachi!" I cursed, brushing the brush through my foster brothers hair, pulling the knots out. It was a big day for us, if it was accepted by the courts and stuff.. We'd be adopted. No more moving around, no more strange families.. No more changes. Sometimes, i'd been moved into terrible families. At one stage i had an abusive room mate who hit me and hurt me..
We were dressing in a way to deem ourselves responsible and worth letting our foster parents adopt. I was wearing a vintage floral dress, a simple style.. Just having to wait was driving me crazy. Around my neck was my Polaroid camera, i was desperate to document the day.. And, if need be; i had a pocketful of family photo's to prove that we're a good family!
This'd mean we'd stay here, with our friends.. And, mainly for Malachi to have his boyfriend.. I'd be able to stay put forever.. Instead of trying to make new friends once every six months..
