Name: Riley Noelle Mitchell
Nickname(s): She demands Riley from everyone else. Only her friends can call her "Ri." Sometimes, as a mean joke, the nickname "Ri-No" (yeah, exactly how it sounds; like the animal without the "h") has been used against her. She hates it.
Age:Sixteen
Birthday:September 30
Class: Sophomore
Talent: Photography. Her life is seen through the lens of her camera: a Canon Mark II.
Appearance: Riley is short, being only 5'1". She is often teased about her height by her friends. Her skin is fair, but she tans very easily. Her body type is skinny; she used to be fairly chubby in junior high, but she forced herself to lose the weight. (This will be discussed in her background.) Her hair is a deep red, falling past her shoulders, and is usually left in its natural state (wavy) or accessorized with a ribbon. She hates messing with her hair. She feels that it's not the most important thing. Her eyes are a bright icy blue.
When it comes to makeup, Riley doesn't spend as much time on it as most girls her age do. She wears mostly eye makeup; mascara and a charcoal shade eyeshadow. Then, a tinted lip balm is all that follows. Any other makeup doesn't exist in her book.
Her style varies narrowly from hipster to casual. Riley's not much into fashion at all. In fact, she could care less about whether or not her socks match, or if the colors complement each other. If she thinks it looks good and if she's comfortable in it, then it's a winning outfit for her.
Personality: Because of where she was raised (Chicago, IL) , Riley's personality is equally complex.
She is not a people person. Going up to random people and introducing herself is not something she is found doing. Riley is quiet, and rarely says anything to people she is not familiar with. Every now and then, she will muster up a tiny smile and say "Hi," but that's about all you're going to get out of her if you aren't her friend. She prefers being alone, and going on random photography expeditions by herself (or sometimes with her pet cat, Cinco).
Riley does possess good friend qualities that make her a friend that anybody would be lucky to have. Although not very talkative, Riley is great listener and will offer sincere, honest opinions if you ask for them. If you ever need her help, she's there in a heartbeat. She is a jealous friend. Per say, if one of her best friends goes off and hangs out with another person, Riley tends to be green with jealousy.
The bad traits of Riley are as follows: she likes picking fights. (Yeah, that's what Chicago does to you. It's a dog eat dog world) If she hears you badmouth her or any of her friends, she WILL call you out on it. If you aren't prepared to throw the first hit, she WILL. Riley can be a bit of a downer, too, if things are looking bleak. She will lock herself in her room and mope until it passes or someone goes and gets her. Riley also has a very short temper.
Habits: Rolling her eyes at stupid things, talking to herself, clenching her fists when she's angry, and twisting her hair around her finger when boredom strikes.
Likes: Cats, her camera, Cinco, editing photos, playing PC games, taking naps, Harry Potter, hiking, wintertime, thunderstorms, snow, chai tea, popcorn, Dr. Pepper, quiet people, mature guys, and pink roses.
Dislikes: Birds, prissy girls, sports, hot weather, immature guys, snakes, being dirty, milk, rude people, anything with glitter on it, and not having her camera near her.
Background: Riley was born in Chicago to a pair of upper class parents named William and Jessica. William Mitchell was the CEO of an insurance company, while Jessica managed her own floral and gift shop. The couple have three other children besides Riley: an older sister named Reagan, a younger brother named Remi, and the youngest sister named Renee.
Being the middle child was never any fun for Riley. Her parents adored the oldest and youngest sisters, so Riley always stayed close to her only brother who was just a year younger than she. They both shared something in common: a love for photography. While the other two sisters were interested in medicine and teaching, Riley and her brother Remi were constantly found taking pictures with their little digital cameras.
Tragedy struck the family about the time Riley turned 14. The kids were outside swimming in the pool. Mr. Mitchell was at work, but Mrs. Mitchell took the day off to spend time on designing new layouts for her shop. The sisters had dared their brother to dive in, even though they knew it wasn't allowed. Remi did so, and when he did, his head hit the bottom and didn't move after that.
Mrs. Mitchell and the girls were frantic, and even after calling 911 and many resuscitation attempts, Remi couldn't be saved.
Riley tries to forget the day that her closest family member drowned in front of her very own eyes. The only thing she has left to keep her brother in her life is photography. She vowed that she would never quit taking pictures, in honor of Remi. She received the opportunity to attend Metric, and Riley accepted the offer in a heartbeat, wanting so desperately to be away from everyone in her family.
Her parents nor her sisters never communicate with her. The only people that Riley considers family is Cassie, and her pet cat, Cinco.
Friends/Pets: Cassandra Chamberlain and Cinco, her cat.
Significant Other: Single. It will take a very special man to woo her heart. Riley is very picky.
Miscellaneous: Cinco tends to follow her around.
Riley can often be found in her dorm, where it seems she almost never leaves.
Many pictures of her and Remi when they were younger can be found on her dorm wall next to her bed.
She wears a necklace that says her brother's name on it, and it is in the shape of a cross.
Here's some more pictures:
