Female #4: Aspen Facine [TheUnexpectedVictor]

Name: Aspen Facine

Age: 14

Gender: Female

Appearance: Aspen can't be considered beautiful, she's not one of those perfect girls-who's flawless- which would honestly be hard for someone in her age. But she's pretty. Her face is soft, still with some kid like features, that have been mostly replaced by that of a growing young woman. She has bright green eyes and pink lips. Her nose, is slightly crooked after being broken when she got hit in the face with a soccer ball when she was little, although it's not as noticeable now as it used to be. Aspen has light brown hair, that goes down to below her waist in slight waves. She hasn't cut her hair since she was very young, so it's incredibly long. Aspen has only a slightly curved body, not yet developed fully, although she has long legs which cause her to stand at 5'9" she's slightly muscular, after years of soccer practice, which included drills, a lot of running and pushups, sit-ups and mostly anything else. Her skin is a tan color, from years of being in the sun but she has a nasty, pale scare on her left thigh where someone drove their cleats into her leg, she had to get several stitches.

Personality: Aspen is incredibly hardworking. She pushes herself for everything, and is very very competitive. Though she had good intentions at heart this can sometimes lead her to be slightly mean in the heat of the moments. Aside from competitions Aspen tries to be nice. She's very smart, but often gets stressed out which can lead to breakdowns sometimes. Aspen values handwork and friends over most anything else.

Background: Aspen is an athlete. She's been playing soccer ever since she could walk. It's helped her be stronger, and faster, more enduring. She's broken three bones, sprained stuff more than she can count but in the end Aspen appreciates the injuries she got. It reminds her of what she did to get the point she's at. In her first year of high school, Aspen is playing on a club team and on the school varsity team already making a name for herself. She knows that if she continues to do her best, at this rate she's looking at a scholarship to college to play on a big team. Although Aspen doesn't remember what caused her to start playing soccer she believes it was her parent who pushed her. Both of her parents have highly prestigious- not to mention highly paying- jobs. They did well when they were younger and they expect the same as her. Which is why not only does she try to be the best athlete she can be, she also strives to be the best academically. Taking the highest classes she can.

Fears: Aspen fears of being a failure, of not being good enough an letting everyone down. She often carries so many expectations on her back, that she is afraid what will happen if she doesn't live up to them. This somewhat coincides with her second fear of being alone. Well not alone, because everyone needs alone time, but more like completely isolated from people, without any contact. Without any friends. She's afraid that if she lets people down, they won't want to talk to her anymore and she'll be left completely and utterly alone, and avoided for the rest of her life.

Other: Aspen was at the carnival with her teammates, who were going to celebrate after they won the state championship when Aspen scored the winning goal.
