Your Full Name: Maura Matthews
Your Nickname (if you have one): Slinks
Family: Older brother (26) - Sean, Older Brother (30) - Conner, Oldest Brother (33) - Flynn
Where you originally hail from: Brooklyn, New York City, New York, USA
Nationality: Irish/Irish American
What part of the crowd are you from?: Hyper/Jokester/Trickster/Hat Thief/Punk/Crazy
Age: 18
Looks:Dark red-auburn hair falls to just below her shoulder blades is and often twisted into a single braid, leaving a few locks hanging free to frame a defiant - but fair - jaw. Dark green-grey eyes sparkle or kill(mercilessly) from behind wire framed glasses that rest on the bridge of a strong nose, and fit with a mouth framed by small laugh lines made for grinning. Though she often wears clothes that are considered 'guyish' - the shorts... - she's normally seen in t-shirts and army-style pants. And shoes ordered from soccer magazines. She'll wear a tank top if it's too hot (75 and above). All of which she uses to hide her slightly lean, 5' 6" figure.
Quirks: She's often found reading, playing video games, or dancing (oddly) to her music mixes. Also, she LOVES her laptop. She's named it Rave, after a branch-off of her favorite genre of music. Alos, if you give her a pencil, drumstick, slightly long stick, something like that, she can twirl it around her fingers - menacingly, normally, boredly, the twirl is the emotion meter.
Personality: She's a jokester, her favorite god of choice being Puck the Trickster. Even though she laughs a lot, finding humor in almost anything and uses it to get through hard times, she CAN be serious. Some have described her as being 'flighty..but down to earth'. A bit of a human collection of opposites, really. She pulls character traits from books - movies too - and spins them into herself.
Hard to believe, but if you watch her closely, it's true enough to show.
Brief History:Her parents - both Irish imediately, if not by parent - had lived in New York all their lives, raising their children in Brooklyn once they'd had them. The oldest three (Conner, Flynn, Sean) had grown up with both. But, soon after Slinks was born, her mother...left...It was good, after that, but then her dad was offered a higher up's job. In California. Not wanting to move his kids around, he just went, promising to call and send checks. So, that left the three oldsters to deal with a three year old Slinks.
Needless to say...the upbringing went a touch wonky.
What's your major?: Fashion Design, World History. Minors in the Fine Arts.
What's some of your favorite things?: Reading, writing, dancing, twirling sticks,pencils,drumsticks,othersuchobjects in fingers like Jack Sparrow, books, mechanical pencils, soda, green tea, iced tea, tea, Ireland, rave music, Irish guys, Irish music, St. Patricks Day, french fries, spearmint flavored gum, drumsticks, combat boots, gay men, being a Mother Hen, critiqueing movies with friends
Anything else we should know: Learning how to play the drums and the fiddle from her brothers.
