  Attire: Georgia never, ever likes to do anything with her hair. She enjoys feeling comfortable and when she has to put pins in her hair she absolutely hates it. Same with makeup. She usually wears sweat pants and jeans and a t-shirt. Georgia doesn't like dresses or skirts but will wear them if she has to for a special occasion.
  
  
  Georgia has a rather unique face that I couldn't describe to you here. Her eyebrows are incredibly black and thick, as is her hair. Her eyes are really black, too. Her fingers are long, perfect for a pianist, and her mother calls her big foot because she's a size nine already. Georgia is rather skinny, despite her like to eat, but despite her beautifully unique appearance Georgia never feels very pretty.
  
  
  
• Personality
  
  Georgia is a rather happy young woman. She is very friendly and outgoing and often tries to see the best in everyone. Georgia loves to laugh [a LOT] and especially likes it when she makes others laugh, too, but mostly her dad, because he's such a stone wall and it's rare to get him to laugh. Although Georgia likes to have fun, she can get bored rather easily and can hold grudges forever.
  
  
  Georgia can get upset or sad really easily, though. A really fragile subject with her is the piano, which will be explained later on, and she can be really sensitive about that sometimes. She isn't the greatest at hiding her emotions, so there's really no hiding when she cries. Although she's got a complicated relationship with music, somehow, tapping out a rhythm really calms her down, and singing pop songs is rather fun for her. Georgia can be incredibly lazy and is a level 1000 procrastinator but if she purposely 'forgets' something that she had to do, she isn't able to sleep at all that night and in the morning wakes up ready to do whatever it takes to get rid of the guilt.
  
  
  Georgia is very brave. She's not afraid to be herself and although she's a really nice person, doesn't have many friends. Okay. No friends. She's got her family, and really that's all. She's homeschooled, and doesn't leave the apartment very often so it's not exactly the greatest way to make friends. She has had friends before but they've always ended up taking advantage of her kind and loyal personality, or it just never worked out.
  
  
  
• History
  
  You could say Georgia's lead a fairly normal life, but that wouldn't be true. Her parents were both from Israel, and with her mother wanting to be a writer and her father a director, they knew they wouldn't exactly make it big in Israel, so they moved to Hollywood, California. They had lost most of their money because they bought a house in Israel, and then they realized they were never going back they had to resell the house they bought for a much cheaper price.
  
  
  They bought a one bedroom apartment in the heart of the city, and Georgia was born. Early on she was a bright little girl, walking around way too early and making conversation to strangers with the only two words she knew, sun and dog. Four years later, her younger brother Jeremy was born. Georgia was always a nice and quiet baby, who didn't cry much, but Jeremy was a whole other story. He screamed so loud Georgia would think that the apartment would collapse.
  
  
  Their lack of money never allowed them to move, and to this day, her family is still in the one bedroom. When her parents first came here, they walked into a store and it happened to be that there was a raffle for an upright piano, and her parents put their name in. Her mother's name was called, and they were told that the piano would be shipped from Canada in a month. Three months passed and nothing came, they thought it was all a hoax, until two men came with the piano one day.
  
  
  Georgia watched her father play the little that he knew, and finally he asked her to try it. Immediately she showed signs of talent and her parents invested in her, taking her to classes and such. She got better, and better, and even before the piano they knew that she could sing, too.
  
  
  But for some reason.. Georgia never loved the piano. She was so good at it, but her parents never understood why she refused to go to it without being asked. It was the only thing she and her father really did together, and her father was always very hard. Georgia and her mother had a much better connection, and every time Georgia didn't go to the piano, it broke her father's heart.
  
  
  Strangely, whenever the asked if she wanted to quit she would bawl and beg them not to. The piano was the only thing she ever knew, Georgia was never good at math or history, and if she were to quit piano, what else would she do?
  
  
  Slowly, ever so slowly, Georgia is learning to love it. She's still young, and it's still hard, but she knows that deep down this is what she has to do, but years and years of denying it has created such a routine for her, it's basically in her nature to ignore the piano. But she's trying.
  
  
  
• Skills
  
  Georgia is an incredibly talented musician. She hasn't yet begun to play other instruments but she is an incredible pianist and lovely singer. She is also good at crafts, making things out of paper, duct tape, but I don't know if you consider that a skill. She's trying to learn how to draw but it's very hard for her, and being the lazy girl that she is Georgia hasn't really committed to it yet.
