LIKES:

a little of this and a little of that? no, seriously; a little of this an' a little of that. it's what she fits it into. though, i'll break it down for you, 'kay? photos. they're a favorite past-time for lucinda. not being in them, however. but, taking them. m'hm. if she could, she would photograph the whole world and make a very creative scrapbook out of it. she believes that you could read into a person's soul just by looking at a picture. not one with a pose, but one taken without expecting it. those are her favorites, after all. music is another love of hers, though; she doesn't play anything special. she does like singing. Not that she would be going pro or anything, it's something she does when she's alone or in the shower. you could say she kind of has a stage fright part to her, only because she doesn't want to be boo'd off the stage. seriously, who would? fashion is a big thing for her, though she doesn't spend all her cash on clothes and shoes. she does adore it. her favorite? those big eighteen hundred's style dresses. reminds her of a princess, and they're extra special because they can only be worn during certain occasions. animals are something she likes; they're beautiful creatures, yes? she'd agree. though, she does adore dogs and cats, as well. as far as people go? well, she does like it when people make her laugh and can confine in her. also, when it comes to guys; she likes it when they just go after what they want. sure, she understands the fear of rejection. but, honestly, she doesn't believe in being the first to make a move. but, flirting is a fun thing, and yes; she likes to flirt. though, it is never to take seriously - especially when she's joking around. which, she'll usually let a person know. don't lie to her, be honest to her. honesty is the best way to get her respect, that and keeping loyal. oh, and did i say she's a sucker for those cliche things? oh, well she is. it's a one way ticket to getting her affections placed on a guy. there's no better way than showing up with a rose, or sending them to her. plus, chocolate is another she likes. but, then again; what girl doesn't?

DISLIKES:

when it comes to things she hates, however - or dislikes, if you want to call it that? well, that's very easy. liars, cheats, stealing... you know, those things you cannot forgive. plus, if someone cannot trust her enough to tell her something; how is she supposed to trust them? it's something that goes both ways and something she is very big on. but, if you want to get in good graces with luce, then don't lie to her face or behind her back - don't lie at all. because, when she finds out; she will call you out and lecture you like no tomorrow. then leave her high and dry. honestly, she cannot stand it - especially when someone has the guts to lie to her face; that's the worst. nor can she stand stealing. it's not fair to the person that is being stolen from. cheating? just... don't do it. it's happened to her many times, and let's not even go there.. just don't do it. snakes and reptiles; though they look neat, she's afraid of them. however; give her a choice between spiders and snakes? the slimy, cold-blooded creatures win hands down. she'd rather be left in a room alone with a snake than a spider; seriously. creepy, crawlies aren't cool! cold cilmates is another thing she disapproves of; it kills the fashion, and well - it's cold. oh, and those people who like to start drama? she tries to stay away from them, but when they mess with people she loves; well then that's when the bitch in her comes out. she won't stand to the side and let her family/friends get attacked. nope, she's right there - in front, showing her claws and fangs.

SECRETS:

luce hates spiders. worse than most care to admit. she's deathly afraid of them. had a miscarriage; which ended her relationship with her ex-boyfriend. is crazy-in-love with her childhood friend; just doesn't want to end their friendship.

PERSONALITY:

so, you wanna know about lucinda, yea? well, here's the four-one-one. lucinda isn't someone that has to be approached; she'll approach anyone. well, almost anyone who isn't giving her a bad vibe. see, she's a friendly person, and can sometimes be somewhat naive. sure, she's smart and confident in herself, but come on - let's be real. lucinda gives people a benefit of a doubt, which would give people a reason to walk all over her.

though; when she actually notices it happening, hell and damnation she gets pissed. when this happens, luce can often hold a grudge. sure, she may be naive at times, but that does not give people the right to take her friendship for granted, does it? hell fire, no it does not. and those are the kind of people she hates and can't really stand. it's the worst kind of friendship.

though, when i mentioned she is intelligent and confident in herself? it's true. she's very confident in her work, and does have that streak of intelligence. though; she doesn't always show it. not that she acts like she's lacking a brain, or anything. it's usually in the choices she makes that her intelligence seems to disappear. especially when it comes to men; she isn't the best there and love doesn't seem to like her much. what, with her past relationships; it isn't hard to figure out.

though; she does enjoy having fun, she doesn't do drugs, and doesn't like to drink. it's actually something that has to do with past events (she doesn't like talking about it), that you'll learn about later. luce isn't really comfortable around drunkards, either; so she tends to leave clubs, unless she feels well protected; which is a very rare thing. she'd usually rather be outside and roaming around at night, than at a club where she'd get noticed by drunks.

now, remember, luce doesn't just drop the gavel and judge a person when she first meets them. or before she even learns their name; it isn't something she wants to be done to her, so she doesn't do it. and, she isn't the type to throw something in people's faces; especially their own mistakes. that's just something she won't do, and won't stand for.

though, there is also a dark side to miss luce holmes. no, i'm not saying she'd be an outright bitch - actually, i am saying that. though; it's only when people piss her off. sure, she can be forgiving about certain things. however; if someone really gets underneath her skin and pisses her off? well, she isn't so forgiving. especially, when it's dealing with those she cares for and finds to be close to her. honestly, did you expect her to be weak? ha, that's funny.

she's not weak, though she may seem like it and she doesn't stand for that 'bully' crap. if she thinks someone is standing to hurt someone close to her, or make fun of them in any way? then she'll be the first to get in your face and shock the crap right out of you. sure, she won't get physical or anything, unless the damage is done to her first. self-defense is the only way she'd throw punches. no; she doesn't like fighting, but she'd be damned if she let someone attack her and not get bruised in return. just won't happen.

luce isn't the type of person to hide who she is. she honestly doesn't see a point in doing so, and tries not to. unless it's something she's uncomfortable with showing; then yeah, she'll show it. like her singing ability? only a few have caught her singing, and they have been sworn to secrecy. however; luce believes that hiding certain 'layers' (so to speak) away from people only leaves room for surprises later, and isn't always a bad thing to keep hidden. sure, it's alright to show yourself to people, but they don't need to know every single detail, do they? not in luce's opinion, anyway.

honesty is also something else that luce has a knack for. though, she isn't like most people and speak the brutal truth? she tends to tone it down a bit, unless it's something she's upset about; then she'll speak brutally about it. though, that doesn't happen much, seeing as she tries her best to keep her anger at bay. she's also one of those people that can be trusted with anything. as previously stated? she doesn't gossip with secrets or tell anyone when she's trusted to keep a secret. people who do that disgust her, actually. she'd rather keep a friendship than make an enemy.

HISTORY:

lucinda's parents met while attending college. no, they didn't know each other in high school or grade school, for that matter. it's not like most would come to know how their parents met. instead? derek and emily met during their freshmen year in college. they grew to become one of the most enived couples, and later married; producing their son and two daughters. their second child, however was little lucinda camille holmes.

from the moment she was born lucinda was a handful. it's hard to recall how long it took her to be born, and she has never asked about it. but, her mother told her it was the most painful, yet beautiful experience in childbirth, yet. at first, lucinda had been a still born. they told her mother that her little girl was dead; only the doctors were wrong. a few seconds later; while emily was holding lucinda, the child opened her eyes and started balling. they don't know how she lived, but her mother claims it was a miracle to this very day.

lucinda was always the one to be dragged into causing trouble with her other two siblings. cece; who is a year younger and preston would always drag her down; though she never regretted any of it. they always had fun. from stealing cookies from the cookie jar to 'freeing the fish'. it was harmless things. though, preston would always be the one to blame. at a young age luce would play with paint and start capturing things on camera. though; when she was small, she always wanted to own her very own pony. the closest she got was to owning nyx; her bernises mountain dog. she'd actually ride his back, too and he would let only her and cece away with it.

as luce grew, so did her attitude towards life. sure, she sometimes took things for granted; what teen didn't? but, she always saw the better parts of life, as well. that's shown through her photos, today. from catching a photo of two secret lovers to catching a photo of a heart break. though; she was one of the girls that most looked up to (a cheerleader), she wasn't the vain type. always spending time with her friends, and making plenty of them. not that they would mind; it was hard to hate her, though some did.

though, not everything was picture perfect for the holmes' family. during his time away, derek (her father) had been exposed with his side mistress; which broke her mother's heart. though, emily agreed to giving derek a second chance, he would only come home drunk during the late night. smelling like alcohol and perfume. it got to the point to where she'd hear her parents arguing at night, and there was one time that her father had actually struck her mother.

that is when they officially left her father in the dust. though; that's just more of a figure of speech. they actually moved into their grandparents house and went from there. not that they had to change schools or anything. but, derek still did give them some trouble. late one night the police offers showed up at their door, and low an' behold - their father had done something tragic. leaving a note; he apologized for hurting emily an' them, and took his own life. though, it hurt them - preston an' emily were the most to hurt. luce was more close with her mother than her father.

though, time never did seem to stand still for her and her family. during the years, preston grew to forgive their father and later moved on with his life. graduating college to take over the family business and marrying. her mother remarried an' old high school sweetheart, giving luce a step-sister and brother. though; luce has recently left college with her degree in photography. however; during her college years, she had fallen for alex parker.

their relationship lasted almost two years, before he left her - due to the fact that he blamed her for having a miscarriage. now; she's living her dream of becoming a photographer, and has recently traveled to hawaii to visit her dear childhood friend. though; she's thinking of finding a place to live, instead of going back to la. hawaii is, after all, a beautiful island...

ROLEPLAY EXAMPLE:

Silently Madeline began to count down. Yeah, she knew his trantrums, due to the graceful fact that she was good at causing them. Glancing down at the table, like a child caught stealing cookies; she tried her hardest to ignore her fit that was coming. He, afterall, had the right to yell at her. And poor Martha; the girl seemed scared of him - then again, a lot of people hated when he was like that. Sitting there, Madeline stared out of the window; her face was somewhat red. Honestly, her mother was sounding more right as the seconds ticked by. She and Garrett seemed like one of those old-married-arguging couples. Licking her lower lip, Maddie turned her attention to him; shrugging a bit. She'd have to wait for her turn to speak, which was she had planned to do. See, Madeline was going to wait until he calmed down, until he assumed that little bit about her boyfriend; sure they sorta-kinda-ran off - it had been his idea, not Maddie's, really. But, honestly, Garrett sounded more like a jealous boyfriend than anything. "Are you fucking serious?! Since when do I have to explain myself to you, Garrett? Huh, tell me... Since when!?" Madeline felt like throwing something at him, but had nothing - except her cell; which she couldn't toss. Poor thing was her baby. Rolling her eyes as he stood up to walk off. Seriously, it seemed childish, didn't it? Rushing away during an argument. "Heh, whatever." It always happened. One of the two would rush away. If it wasn't him, it was her. Then again, sometimes they could surprise each other.

It actually surprised Maddie when he sat back down, muttering something or another about Martha. That only made her snort, and shake her head. Though, to say she said all she could, would only be a lie. She was a little upset with how he just up and yelled; yeah, she expected it, but she was shocked with how much it actually upset her. "Yeah, she does - just like all those other floosies." Madeline mutter, frowning down at her hands. Honestly, she wasn't sure what she wanted to say to him. Sure, she wanted to fuss at him for blowing up at her like that, but she couldn't find the strenght in her voice to do it. Knowing damn well that yelling often made her cry; she felt much like the wuss she accused herself of being. Clearing her throat, she glanced at him; after blinking away whatever on-slaught of tears that would eventually stop threatening to come. "You're not my father, Garrett. I didn't have to explain myself to you, and I sure as hell don't have to now... But, I can tell it was a mistake for me coming back." She muttered, only loud enough for him to hear. What would he care if she left again? Hell, it seemed like a very good idea, now that she thought about it.

Tossing a few bills on the tale, Madeline stood up and rushed out of the cafe; grabbing her coat along the way. Would he follow her? She felt like he would, it was usually how their arguments went; she'd be quiet at first, but then she'd explode back at him. Though, they were fun to have, she hated having them - she always ended up looking weak and feeling just that. Plus, all sense of wit usually left her when she was up against him. There was a gig she had tonight; at one of the local hot-spots. She knew Garrett was the owner of the club, and it was where she worked (as a bartender), too. But her little crew just offered to play for free, and they would be; such a surprise there.
