---------------- PERSONALITY ---------------
LIKES, tea stained paper, practicing her cello, walking in the rain, cats, fuzzy socks, the smell of old books, literature, dreaming, candy, writing her own melodies, playing cards, sandwiches in the park, dragons
DISLIKES, being the centre of attention, her glasses (she often pretends she doesn’t need them), having to make decisions, cabbage, bent pieces of paper, really hot days, getting her clothes wet, loud noises, ketchup
FEARS, Erin is afraid of never being good enough. As a perfectionist with low self esteem, it’s quite a problem. She never seems to be good enough for herself. Her other fear coincides with that, it being that she’s afraid she’ll never be good for anybody else.
PERSONALITY,
Erin has always been a little shy. She’s not necessarily introverted, just extremely bashful around people she doesn’t know. Easily embarrassed and awkward, Erin has fumbled around for eighteen years with low self confidence. She doesn’t believe she’s half as good as anyone else, but figures it’s worth trying anyways. Her positive outlook on life can easily brighten up people’s days, and her honest smile never lacks sincerity. Erin is a very authentic person. If she ever were to act differently than she is or perhaps tell a white lie, it would be blatantly obvious. A goody two shoes, Erin’s a bit afraid to break the rules. She sticks to the rules, not necessarily because she believes in them, but because that is what she’s told to do. Erin has difficulty thinking for herself sometimes, and prefers to go off of what she was told to do. She doesn’t like to be left without instructions, because she feels like she’ll do it wrong, even if she is smart enough to figure it out herself. She can’t trust herself if her life depended on it, and she will always be her harshest critic.
Erin is a sweet girl, who always has the best intentions for everyone. Although she’s not a great talker, she’s a great listener, and a good shoulder to cry on. Soft spoken with a big heart, Erin has always been a dreamer. She has big dreams for her future, and spends a lot of her time thinking up fantastical ideas. She may spend most of her time dreaming, but the likelihood she’ll ever share those dreams are low, as she’s also extremely embarrassed about them. Erin’s idealistic side is constantly conflicting with the realist within her, which is always firmly planting her two feet on the ground. No matter how much she loves dreaming, the logical critic in her head always brings her back to reality.
Erin, though friendly when approached, tends to keep to herself. She spends endless hours with her cello, and is a bit of a social recluse. She’s always been awkward and shy, and tends to stick by herself unless a situation arises. Although she’s very independent, she’s also very friendly, and enjoys company more than her solitude. Erin can be a bit skeptical, and hesitates often. Her disorganized nature makes her always seem frazzled and scattered, and she always seems to be all over the place. She’s quite cowardly, and doesn’t have the guts to try something new, to do something she hasn’t been told to do, or to stick up for herself.

---------------- HISTORY ---------------
FATHER, benjamin Alexander wright
MOTHER, abigail cassidy wright
OTHER FAMILY, n/a
HISTORY, It was early may when the young Alexander and Abigail rushed to the hospital, nervous and excited for the birth of their new baby girl. They weren’t married yet, and the baby had come more as a surprise than anything when Abigail found out she was pregnant. They were both still in high school, and very inexperienced when it came to dealing with the real world. Still, they could not deny the wonder of the little gurgling thing that they held in their arms. Were they ready to be parents? Anybody, even the couple themselves, would give you a negative answer. They were rash, immature teenagers that had no clue in hell what they were doing. But when they looked into the face of their baby, they knew they had made the right decision to keep her.
Abigail had come from a well to do family, with more than enough money to have a comfortable life. She certainly wasn’t used to not having enough money, or budgeting, or struggling to get a meal on the table. She never thought she would have to. But when her parents found out about her pregnancy they gave her two options. Have an abortion, or be cut off entirely from the family. But how could she get rid of something that was growing inside of her? And yes, maybe she and carter weren’t ready, but they were willing to try. She finally got the guts to tell them her decision, and they gave her two options again. This time, adoption, for it was too long in the process for abortion. They made it clear that she would get no help, parental or financial from them. She would no longer be part of the family. As a stubborn, proud teenager, it was only natural for Abigail to disobey them. The next day she moved into Carter’s basement, and only a few months later they found themselves rushing in his parents car to the hospital, on a particularly sunny may morning.
About a month and a half later after their baby girl was born, the couple graduated high school. Instead of the regular plans of more college that so many of their classmates were set on, Carter and Abigail had a more pressing issue. They had a baby to take care of, and nobody to help them. It wasn’t too long until they were gently nudged out of Carter’s parents house, and they had to fend for themselves. Ever since Erin was born, the Wrights have experienced finance issues, and have always struggled with money. As an eighteen year old with no experience, it wasn’t easy for Carter to get a good job, and he was always working very long hours. Although the couple was unprepared, they were caring, loving parents and managed to raise a baby girl throughout their struggles.
Erin grew up in what started to be a fairly happy home, besides the budgeting issues and the lack of luxuries. Unlike most children at her school, she lived off of hand-me-downs and second hands clothes. But she was used to it; it was all she had known. While most kids were out playing sports, or dancing, or taking music or drama lessons, or perhaps an art class, Erin was exploring the area around her house, for her parents didn’t have the money to afford lessons. As an only child, she didn’t have anyone to share this with, and she often got bored and lonely. She would play pretend with herself and her few stuffed animals, and would go on ‘adventures’ throughout the ‘magical lands’, also known as the few streets surrounding her house that she could navigate at her age. When wondering around, she spotted a stray cat, which was full of burs and looked much too under fed for her liking. She brought it home, and gave her parents quite the surprise at the new little feline wandering around her house. Obviously not used to the antics of children, they weren’t sure what to do. And so she kept the cat. Ever since that day, she hadn’t been so lonely. She nurtured the cat until it was healthy, and gave more care to it than she probably should. It was really her only friend.
Constantly looking for new jobs, the Wrights moved across British Columbia very often. Throughout her years, Erin has seen her fair share of schools and never really stayed in the same one for very long, which was fine for her, because she never really managed to connect too well with the other kids because of her shy nature. Just before Erin’s tenth birthday, the Wright family was all packed up and about to move to their next house. It was a particularly rough time for the Wrights, and like usual, Erin expected nothing from her parents, as even when she was nine, she understood the struggle involved in raising a family. She was standing outside the house with her mother, suitcases packed with a waiting taxi cab, while her mom impatiently complained about how late her father was. It was even starting to make Erin a little impatient. He was supposed to be home over an hour ago, and they had had to finish packing without him. Erin’s mother was about to go over the edge, when up the block came sprinting a very tired looking Carter, breathing deeply and sweating a little bit, as if he had just run a marathon. In his hand he held an instrument sized case, and the two females standing by the door were very confused as to what it was.
This was when Erin discovered her very first cello. Apparently it was a big ordeal getting it, hence her father being so late, but he had managed to carry it all the way home from an old pawn shop. Erin couldn’t be happier with the birthday present. She hadn’t expected anything at all, and she spent the whole car ride to the new house holding it in her arms, not noticing her mother arguing with her father about the cost in the front.
After she had gotten the cello, it turned out there was an old lady a few houses down from their new house who used to play professionally. Although they couldn’t afford lessons or even the cello in the first place, Carter wouldn’t hear anything his wife was saying. And so the Wright’s struggled a bit more, and the arguments got a bit louder, and Erin turned to her cello. Whenever there was a disagreement, she was in her room drowning it out with the sound of music. She never noticed the arguing, not consciously. She never wanted to. So she continued practicing. And practicing. And practicing.
Fast forward a few years. The Wrights are doing financially better. They never won a lottery, but as the couple got older, they got more life experience, along with more job experience. Carter managed to find a more stable job, and though it certainly wasn’t pay that anyone would hope for, it was much better than he was getting before. Abigail was working part-time and part-time getting a degree in school. Erin started tenth grade and for the first time, was going to be in the same school until she finished it all together.
Although she never really found her place with people before, high school managed to bring up a whole other world for Erin. Band. At this point, Erin was extremely skilled at the cello, especially with the little experience she had, and with the help of the teachers in school, she continued to get better and better. When it came to grade twelve and she had to apply to university, she wasn’t sure what to do. She wasn’t confident enough in her abilities to apply to a music program, and besides, she knew they didn’t have the money to pay for university, and she was even less confident she could get there on scholarship. Yet still, there wasn’t anything else other than music she could imagine herself doing.
When her music teacher showed her a flier for an arts school in France, Erin instantly fell in love, especially after doing more research about the school. But still, she knew the type of talent that would be applying and the type of money it would cost and didn’t want to face the disappointment. However, after much nudging from her teacher, she managed to pull together and application and audition. Soon enough, the letters from universities and colleges were being sent out, and the halls were abuzz with the news. Not expecting much but the local university that basically accepted anyone that applied, she was absolutely shocked to find a letter from the school in France. Not only did she get in, but it managed to be on a scholarship. Nervous but excited for university, Erin packed a few months later Erin packed her bags, and found herself on a plane to France.
