Audition:
1) What was your home life like?
--- My mother is a bbitchh who is so selfish that she cares more about her drink than her kids. In her defense though, my father most likely drove her there. He sleeps with any woman in the city he's visiting. Then there are my older sisters. They are horrible, and I am glad they never come home. My little sister is amazing though. She is only three, and I hope to get custody of her in two years. I practically raised her anyway.
2) How do you feel about your social ranking?
--- I am actually happy with being a beta. I have as much of an influence as an alpha without all the responsibility and worries of one. I can just relax without worrying if my spot is going to be replaced.
3) Who are your enemies?
--- I don't have any personal enemies, but I tend to fall in line with my leader.
4) What do you do in your spare time?
--- I like to go horseback riding, play with my dog, or spend time with my sister. I also like to read and write, and I like to go shopping with my alpha.
5) What's your style like?
--- I love anything expensive and I love vintage. Vintage is like, my favorite thing in the world. I love floral patterns and bows, and I love that my little sister is getting into that same style. I love boots and sandals, and I adore feathers.
[out of character]
6) Why should you have this part?
--- I want this part because I love to roleplay, and I love her information. Plus, I have some plot ideas for her. :)
♔ Story
'I was running. My legs were aching and my lungs felt tight. There was something chasing me, though I had no idea what it was. All I knew was that I had to keep running, and I couldn't let it catch me. My long red curls kept getting caught on the branches. I kept tripping on rocks and scraping my knees. I couldn't find Bandit and I was getting tired.'
I hadn't noticed before, but I knew exactly where and when I was. It was me, at six years old. I had been left in the woods by my sisters, and they had taken my horse. I had spent the whole day roaming and trying to find my way out. In my dream I kept running until I finally fall down from exhaustion. That's when I feel the cold hands on my arms, pulling me. I didn't know at the time that it was my mother, hitting me for scaring her like I did. I am shocked out of my sleep, again, and I sit straight up. I notice that my little sister, Eleanor, had crawled into bed with me. That could only mean that mom didn't come home last nigh. She normally stays gone for weeks at a time. Dad was gone as well. He was in Dubai for business. Guess that meant it was just Ellie and me. My alpha was gone on vacation, so I decided to make it a day of fun for Ellie and me.
I got out of bed to take a shower. Ellie can sleep through pretty much anything, and I didn't want to wake her just yet. I was finished showering and got dressed. As I was walking down the stairs, I noticed a note on the small table beside the staircase. It had M-E-R-E-D-I-T-H in big letters across the top. I knew it was mom's handwriting. She had come home, but just long enough to write this note that said:
"Meredith, I am leaving for a while. I am going to get help for my alcohol addiction. I know it didn't work last time, but I hope it will now. I know you can take care of the house. You're almost seventeen, and I know you can care for Ely. Remember to pay the staff, and not to let them know I won't be home."
Even after all that she still can't spell Ellie's name right, and she still can't say she loves me. It makes me happy to know that if anything happens to my parents, I get control of the house and everything in it. I also get custody of Ellie. My three older sisters can't come anywhere near here. They've all been disinherited. Brandi is away in Melbourne, just soaking up the sun and doing nothing with her life. She's the only one I can even remotely handle, and it's because she's mellowed with age. Daphne, the oldest, is in Switzerland with her husband and three children. She owns a skiing resort. That is why I don't care what happens with my parents. I know what to do if something happens, and it will sooner or later.
As I ponder that I go to make Ellie's breakfast. I hear her walking around upstairs, and I know she'll be hungry. I decide to fix pancakes and turkey bacon. She loves fried potatoes, but I can never get them done enough without burning them. I take pride in the fact that even though I'm not the best at school, I am still amazing at cooking and raising my little sister.
