``the set..

name;; Elle Amanda Greenwood
nickname;; Ellie, Ells, EG
birthdate;; September 2nd, 1990
birthplace;; La Push, Washington
hometown;; La Push, Washington
sexuality;; Straight
species;; Human

``the costume..

hair;; Long, wavy, dark brown to black.
eyes;; Brown.
height;; 5’2”
weight;; 121
build;; Petite would be the nice way to put it.
overall appearence;; Elle really isn't anything totally spectacular, as far as she's concerned. She's always been pretty, but not in a way that really grabs attention. She has long, wavy dark-brown hair and matching brown eyes. Some people think that her hair is black, but it's just a very dark brown. She's taken more pride in her appearance of late, and she tends to actually try to do something with her hair now instead of just letting it do what it wants like she used to. You know, back when she was a tomboy.

Elle is not tall, not by any stretch of the imagination. She's a little on the short side, to be honest, at only 5'2". She's small and slim, and only recently discovered the world of fashion and makeup. She used to be quite the little tomboy, up until about a year ago, and then everything changed. She started dressing better, wearing makeup, and generally just caring more about so-called 'girly' things. Her friends weren't very thrilled with this 'new' Elle, but ... that's who she is now. So sue her. The only person she'll ever change for is herself.

Face Claim;; Vanessa Hudgens

``the stage..

likes;; the outdoors, hiking, shopping, cats, coffee, eggs, pretty jewelry, makeup, being in on the latest gossip, boys, motorcycles, comfortable jeans.
dislikes;; being stuck inside on a nice day, contact sports, bears, tea, going out without makeup, being out of the loop, being jealous, other people being jealous, petty arguments, fighting.
strengths;;
1) Elle is perpetually happy. She doesn't sweat the small stuff, and doesn't let anybody rain on her parade.
2) She's not afraid to put herself out there. When she feels something, she feels it intensely.
3) She's got a pretty good knowledge base when it comes to sports, the outdoors, and motorized vehicles.
4) Elle is able to get along with just about anybody, as long as they don't give her a serious reason to dislike them.
5) She's afraid of practically nothing. The only creature that really seems to scare her at all would be the bear.
weaknesses;;
1) Sometimes Elle tends to go a little too far, when it comes to protecting the people she cares about. She really can't help it, though -- it's just how she is.
2) You know those people who are too trusting for their own good? Elle is one of them.
3) Elle's nearly permanent state of happiness really seems to get on people's nerves sometimes.
4) She's just a little bit vain, lately. She never used to judge people by their looks, but she does now -- to a certain extent.
5) Even though she's no longer a tomboy, Elle still likes sports -- and hates to lose. She's pretty much one of the most terrible losers you'll ever meet.
overall Personallity;; Elle used to be a tomboy, and she still is -- at least in part. She's very competitive, and still a bit athletic. She just doesn't take pride in it and flaunt it like she used to. The Elle of today is a little more vain and superficial, though she's still not as bad as some of the girls you see. Half the time she doesn't even know why she bothers -- it's not like any of the La Push boys are looking at her, anyway. They all seem to keep to themselves, or at least the best-looking ones do. Elle secretly misses the days of running around with the boys, not caring what anybody thought or how she looked. Those were the days. She much prefers the company of boys to that of girls, but few of them seem willing to spend time with her anymore.

Don't let that convince you that Elle isn't still fun or that she isn't a good person. She's very happy, for the most part, and she'll help out just about anybody who needs her to. And why shouldn't she? She might need somebody's help, some day, and she'd like to think that somebody would be kind enough to give whatever help she needed. So why not help somebody out, when you have the means to?

``the plot..

parents;; Father: Jason Greenwood, 42
Mother: Cassandra Greenwood, 41
siblings;; None
other family;; Elle has several cousins living on (and outside of) the reservation.
your history;; Elle was born and raised on the little reservation that is La Push. Well, technically she was born on the reservation, but it's all she's ever known. From an early age she was always active, and so it seemed to follow naturally that she would be a tomboy. And she was, for the most part. She ran with the boys, played sports with the best of them, and didn't give a hoot what anybody thought. That's the Elle Greenwood people in La Push came to know, and people seemed to either love her or hate her. A lot of people just couldn't get the fact that she didn't want to be pretty and pink and girly.

And then something almost totally unexpected happened. Elle Greenwood all of a sudden became a girlie girl. Nobody saw that one coming, and even Elle doesn't really know what initiated the change. Either way, the tomboy Elle of yesteryear was gone for good and replaced with the current version. Nothing too much has changed, other than the fact that she dresses better and makes an effort. It's still the same girl underneath -- isn't it? Elle likes to think that the foundation hasn't shifted at all.

``the credits..

read the rules;; rainyforks
rp sample;; Elle stretched, soaking up the sunshine that was so rare in their rainy area. Man, this was the life. How long had it been since she'd done something like this, just for the hell of it? She'd made the decision to go back to her roots, this weekend. She was going to go hiking and camping, come hell or high water. She missed being out in the wild, to be honest. Not that anywhere around Forks or La Push was really very wild at all.

She'd probably be in more danger in a city. She shuddered at the thought of what was going on in Seattle. She'd heard the news, and she couldn't pretend that it didn't bother her. I wonder if they'll catch the psycho. Elle thought. She'd automatically assumed, from what she'd read, that there was a deranged serial killer on the loose -- or something of the sort. How scary was that? Elle really wasn't one to scare easily, but even she balked at the thought of going anywhere near Seattle. Elle might have been a brave girl, but she was by no means stupid. She didn't want to die any time soon. She doubted that she'd be in any serious danger if she were to go to Seattle, but why take a chance? Why tempt fate?

Even I'm not that crazy. She thought, smiling to herself.
