full name :: Tabitha Jayne Albert
nicknames :: Tabby
age :: Eighteen
hometown :: Chicago, IL
model :: (suggested) Julia Saner
biography :: It might behoove you to get on Tabitha’s good side now, because you might just need her help later on in life. She is destined to become a great doctor or lawyer, or something like that. She has made straight A’s since kindergarten. She was the only kindergartener in her high-end private school that colored inside the
lines and wrote with perfect penmanship. In grade school- when she had moved on to yet another private boarding school- she was the first place winner of every spelling bee, and she was proud of this. However, some think it’s her way of trying to get attention from her too-busy-for-my-own-child parents.
appearance :: Standing at 5'11, this pale beauty is a sight to behold. She has long and light brown hair with auburn streaks that catch the sunlight. And who can forgot those amazing light blue/green eyes of hers? Tabby is truly an interesting beauty with full lips and porcelain skin. But don't let her beauty fool you. Tabby is all business with her authoritative walk and commanding presence. She draws the eye and just as quickly forces you to look away with her hard gaze. Though she often tries to soften her appearance her friends are constantly telling her she always looks angry even when she isn't. Whatever the case, you don't want her to catch you staring.
style :: Tabby has perfected school girl chic. She wears a lot of skirts and button ups and makes it look model good. It's rare she puts on a pair of heels without purpose. She is a practical dresser and always makes sure nothing is wrinkled. You could say she is always ready to run into someone important and puts her best foot forward, no matter what. But when at home she sticks to the basics: A good pair of skinny jeans and a t-shirt usually does the trick.
personality :: A pampered princess perhaps but Tabby is a very serious girl. She never got the childhood most girls did despite her families wealth. Her parents were not bothered to pay attention tot heir precious little girl so she set out to prove herself worthy of their affections. She's never really stopped and even though she has won countless awards and is always top of her class they still don't care. This has caused a deep rooted insecurity in her, she feels if she isn't the best she is worthless. Sometimes she wishes she could just relax and let loose and have fun but then she is gripped by fear and can't bring herself to let her hair down, figuratively speaking. She knows deep inside she is capable of being happy but until someone shows her she can be loved without all the awards she can't allow herself to believe it.
everyone has a secret. what’s yours? :: She took to self mutilation to make herself feel alive in her ghost town of a home. It turned into an addiction and now she needs to do it at least twice a week or she starts to lose it. She keeps it well hidden though and no one has discovered her little problem so far.
family ::
~ James Felix Albert {50}
James, or Jimmy as he is called by his colleagues, is a world-renowned Brain Surgeon. He is father to Tabitha, an only child. As a young man he dedicated himself to his studies, determined to be the best and nothing less. He made this his family's motto and has instilled it in both his wife and daughter. But being the best comes with a price, James is sought after for his nearly artistic skill with a scalpel and is rarely home for more than a night or two. It seems though that even if he had the leisure time available to him he wouldn't take it. He and his wife are estranged from one another. James refuses to divorce her as he sees this as a failure and the public scrutiny would be too much for him. So instead he stays away and lets his daughter suffer in silence.

~ Fiona Mae Albert {nee Collins}{43}
The Mrs. is a beautiful and confident woman. With all the confidence of the strong women that came before her she walked into James's life. She quickly manipulated the man into believing she loved him and they were married young. As was her duty she gave him a child and unfortunately it was a girl. After that the an became dissatisfied and would no longer join her in bed. Desperate times call for desperate measures and Fiona took to drugging her husband so he would sleep with her. But as a career woman her time at home rarely coincided with his. Fiona is the Head Lawyer for a major firm of mostly female attorneys. She has a set of balls on her bigger than most men and has earned the respect of those in her field. She counsels young woman like her and brings them in to work for her when they are deemed ready. It was only five years ago she was finally successful in becoming pregnant, giving birth to a son. Fiona has no love for the daughter she gave birth to, forgetting the child
as easily she would a dream. But the son she treats like a prince and he travels with her and the nanny. She recognized long ago that Tabitha was weak willed and chose quite purposely to rescind her affections for the daughter.
{Julia Roberts}
~ Aiden James Albert {5}
The prince to the Albert fortune, Aiden is nothing but an innocent child. His mother's pawn and his father's hope, the boy is treated like royalty by his mother. As for his father, the man is rarely around but takes turns with Fiona and half the time Aiden lives with him in whatever city he is in at the time. Rarely he is left with Tabitha but it happens time to time. As much as Tabitha wants to hate her little brother she can't. He has no hand in the games her parents play with each other. But he is a fussy and irritable boy and she rarely has the patience required to deal with him. She thinks the best thing that could happen to her and Aiden would be for their parents to die in some terrible accident and leave them both in peace. She sincerely hopes the child won't turn into a terrible person but odds aren't good right now.
