Name: Sapphira Melody Collins
Age and Birthday: 14 years old, July 24
Class (freshman, sophomore, junior, senior): Freshman
Reason for Enrolling in an Arts’ School (examples: dancing, singing, culinary arts, acting): Singing, Fashion Designing
Appearance:
-Rather short for her height and age
-Long brown hair, although it seems to shift between light and dark brown
-Bright brown eyes, often outlined in thin black eyeliner
-Often wearing fancy clothing, or at least clothing of the highest value that she can get her hands on (which is rather easy, since her mother is back in favor of her parents)
-Often seems to hold a ‘holier than thou’ attitude, even in her body movements and the way she carries herself
-HATES being seen with her older brother and his friend, but her older brother is who takes her places.
Personality:
Likes (5+):
-Anything that she considers rich, of extreme value, or ‘the hottest thing in’
- The colors white, hot pink, and black
- Expensive ice cream cakes, soups, and other meals that her maternal grandmother cooks.
- Feeling like she’s the most valued, or at least seen as the highest one around.
- People to simply drop what they’re doing to do what she likes them to.

Dislikes (5+):
- Sevien Alexander Ambrose, her brother’s best friend. She hates him for numerous reasons, although being homophobic and the idea that he’s ‘stealing’ her brother away seems to be the biggest two. She views him as dirt, and does everything she can to make him feel unwanted, a burden, and otherwise miserable. The only two times she succeeded is when she mentioned his own father killed himself… yet the lash back from her older brother somewhat quieted that insult down.
- Spicy things
- The colors green, gold, and brown
-When people don’t immediately assist her or do what she wants them to do, and she’s boiling pissed when she’s ignored.

Family members:
-Father: Richard James Collins, somewhere between 37 and 39. Richard was from a poor family, and was brought up to live the way of the streets over the way of education and success. At least, that was until Richard’s father was arrested for abusing Richard, his sister Annabelle, and his mother Elizabeth. Annabelle was sent off to live with a great aunt, while Richard and Elizabeth moved in with his aunt Patricia. Things started to change, and for the far better. Now that Patricia was raising Richard, he gained a new zest for knowledge, learning, and was quickly becoming a very fine, dedicated student.
Richard graduated a year early, and instantly took to college, despite his younger age. By the time he was nineteen, he met Paige Mitchells, and they hit it off immediately. It wasn’t too long before Sapphira’s big brother, Romanero Lucifer Collins, was born. Sapphira was born three years later, and it was smooth going until their paternal grandparents passed away. It left nothing for Richard to bring into the family, and times became harsh.
When Sapphira was three, her father began drug dealing, and was from then on constantly in and out of jails, so much that she doesn’t really even remember him.


- Mother: Paige Diamond Collins, around 37 years old. Paige was always quite privileged, especially in her younger years. She was born into a life of extreme luxury, to the point she damn near got everything she ever wanted without question. Her parents were at the top of things, her family probably at least one of the richest within the area. The only catch was that she had to completely finish schooling, college included (although it had to be the best of the best, nothing short of). While at college, she met Richard Collins, someone she quickly grew fond of. His intelligence was the first thing she noticed, his confidence second. She had long thought he was from a rich family, as he often talked about having a rich life, Although she began to have an inkling that he wasn’t, she married him… much to her parent’s outage. They cut her from her money soon after…
However, by the time her son was six and her daughter three, both of which happened pretty directly after the marriage, both sides had lost their outside wealth. For the first time in her life, Paige was working… but not one, but two jobs. She had claimed she knew nothing of Richard’s drug deals until after he was arrested. Upon his second trip to jail, Paige demanded a divorce… and when it was finalized, her parents ‘reclaimed’ her for ‘kicking out the garbage’.
Paige then happily quit her two jobs, and seemingly completely forgot the experience.
Once she was back into the riches, Paige regained a ‘holier than thou’ attitude, and demanded only the best and the richest in quality- A trait that was passed down to her daughter, who doesn’t remember the struggle of when she was a toddler… Paige and Sapphira, as one can imagine, get along very well, to the point where people joke about them being clones. Unfortunately, that joking isn’t too far off. Paige adores Sapphira, and tends to dote on her faaarrr more than her son, Romanero. Since her mother doesn’t seem to care for Romanero, Sapphira seems to stomp all over him too, although she usually somewhat tones it down now, due to the fact he’s her escort to most places.

-Older brother: Romanero Lucifer Collins, 17 years old. Due to the contrasts in personality and view of life, the relationship is somewhat strained, despite Sapphira having once looked up to Romanero since the time she was two years old. Due to her mother’s obvious disdain for him (although it was solely based on the fact he reminded their mother of his father), she also tends to look down upon him… however, Romanero was the one person in the family who didn’t cave into much when she treated him poorly, a fact she quickly learned… although, even now, she’ll throw a temper fit and whine in attempts to get her way.
Despite the strain, Sapphira strongly believes that Romanero is hers, and only hers to boss around and hang out with… so when her brother got a new friend, around the time they were ten and thirteen. Romanero started hanging out with Sevien more and more often, which only worsened her bratty attitude and her defiant temper. She didn’t like Sevien, and probably never will. Another factor into why she hated him is the fact he’s so openly gay. As one can imagine, they love to get under each other’s skin.

Important relationships (friends, lovers, enemies, ect):
Older brother’s best friend, her rival of sorts: Sevien Alexander Ambrose, 16 years old. The two have never gotten along, but that’s mostly due to Sapphira- She tends to treat him like dirt, trying to constantly make him feel miserable and worthless. The fuel to the fire is mainly the fact Sevien usually refuses to keep his mouth shut, and Sapphira tends to only fire back (despite her starting it a large majority of the time). The only times she truly bothered him is once she found out his father died, and she seems to think it’s perfectly okay to rub that in his face, despite not knowing the entire story. The first time, he had snapped at her and almost threatened her before Romanero stepped in- At that point, Sapphira was twelve, Romanero fifteen, Sevien fourteen. The second time, Romanero and her found Sevien at his father’s grave, where she pointed out he was probably far better off away from him…. At that point, Romanero had truly cussed her out and told her to go home, while Sevien was later checked into the hospital… She doesn’t know how Stephen died, but it was sickeningly ironic-- Sevien had felt that Stephen committed suicide because he didn’t want him.
The two argue quite often, and Sapphira has been physically aggressive before, hitting and biting him. The worst Sevien has done, however, is pin her up against the wall.
