Name:
Sydney Alanah Silver

Age:
26

Species:
Human

Birthdate:
August 18th

Sexuality:
Heterosexual

Looks:
I usually have a face claim for her, but I don't at the moment. So, I'll just describe her the best I can—

To start, like all models, she's on the taller side, standing at around 5'9, and takes pride in her physique. She's thin but doesn't exactly have a delicate physique, sure, she fits the usual standards of a model: tall, with a slender waist and wider hips and chest, but it's difficult to call her delicate when her personality doesnt fit—there's always a fire behind those blue-grey eyes. Her smile seems to hold effortless charm to it. She's got a thin face, diamond shaped, with a narrow nose in the center. Her cheekbones, although aren't extremely defined on her face, are soft and turn red easily when she's embarrassed or flattered. She has dark and angular shaped eyebrows that she makes sure she tends to well. Her hair is straight and a light coffee colored brown, its a little thin compared to other models and stretches down to her mid-back, where the tips are a little lighter and the color borders blonde. On normal days, she usually wears it down, but for fancier occasions she pins it up to show off her fine neck and jawline.

Clothing Style:
Honestly, it's rare to see her wear anything that isn't name brand—there are days where she may dress down, but even then it's usually name brand jeans, or nicely made sweaters. Since she is very proud of her figure, she doesn't shy away from flattering clothes, those being ones that hug her figure or ones with cleavage or fabric that's nonexistent on her back. Either way, chances are she'll look great in it, and she knows it too.

Status:
Single—in a rumored relationship with another model, but thats all they are: just rumors.

          •PERSONALITY•

Traits:

Dogged—
There's no one who is as focused on their goals as Sydney. She's determined to reach them, no matter what it takes and puts the time and effort in, oftentimes at the sacrifice of her own wants and needs, even her own wellbeing. Although she tries to avoid it the best she can, sometimes her job comes before her friends, which has lead to several cut ties

Self-critical—
Not really a perfectionist to most, but when it comes to herself? She's the worst. She tends to be very harsh and unforgiving towards herself, especially when she fails. Now, she always manages to pick herself back up, but she beats herself up and, admittedly, this is what she uses to try again—a desire to be better than she was the last time.

Over-imaginative—
Sydney can get caught up in the mindset of 'if there's a will, there's a way' and sometimes can't see past it to realize that not every goal and dream is attainable. Sometimes you have to count your losses and give in, as there's no chance in succeeding. But, she can't always seem to recognize that.

Friendly—
She's pretty open and quick to make friends, something that she herself has admitted is likely because she tends to listen before she talks, and this often makes her a good partner for friendly banter.

Hyper aware—
Despite being confident in her appearances, Sydney tends to be super aware of her 'position' in a room. She knows her place, and because she can be very critical of herself at times, and to keep her ego in check, she oftentimes tends to look down on herself in the presence of people with more talent; ie singers, songwriters, artists, bigger name models, designers, etc.

Routine-oriented—
Sydney likes repetition, organization, and routine. She gets up every day at the same time, and works her day around a clock—she doesn't like it when things get out of sync despite planning ahead, and it can make her irritable if things are sprung on her without too much headway.

Summary:
Sydney is self confident, but only to an extent. In reality, she's very hard on herself and doesn't give herself a break until she's physically and mentally broken. This is also, in a way, how she keeps her ego in check, and also  why she tends to get nervous in the presence of celebrities who, in theory, she should not be nervous around.
She likes to plan, it's how she keeps up her rigorous schedule and because of that she likes to know things in advance—most of the time, surprises aren't very fun for her.
She's a very open communicator, and believes that communication is key is relationships. She tends to not leave things up in the air, and if there's an issue, she likes to solve it by talking through. That being said, she's a very good mediator when it comes to arguments because she likes to talk things out.

Strengths:
String-willed, driven, good-looking, good listener, open-minded, thinks outside of the box, good at putting things into perspective, not afraid to take control

Weaknesses:
Self-critical, can't tell when what she's chasing isnt worth the effort, burns herself out easily, tends to put work before personal relationships even if it's important, has a bad relationship with food, tends to let other people carry the conversation

Habits:
Talks with her hands when she's nervous or excited, taps her earrings with her nails in a certain pattern when she wants to get Ace's, her bodyguard's, attention.

Hobbies:
While she doesn't have hobbies, per say, there are things that she does every day to keep up her physique and keep her aiming towards a goal—currently, her 'hobbies' include working out three to five times a week, keeping up with a rigid hair and skin routine, learning to make new and healthy meals (and researches their benefits!), researches clothes and brands, and keeps up on hot topics.

          •HISTORY•

Birthplace:
Chicago, Illinois

Childhood:

Sydney had a relatively normal childhood, well, as normal as it could be with a dragon running around. When she was 10, her family brought in another dragon, a 6 year old girl named Aura, an adopted sister that would cling to her throughout the years.

**CONTENT WARNING AHEAD!!! MENTIONS AND MILD DESCRIPTIONS OF AN EATING DISORDER**

When she was 14, though, Sydney found herself in a dangerous spiral. Her eldest brother was involved in a bad car accident and was badly injured, although he survived, his dragon—who was like an older brother to her as well—did not, and she found herself dealing with loss like she never had before, as well as the sudden and horrifying realization that life could be taken away from anyone at any moment. This triggered a domino like reaction of grief, that eventually led to feelings of inadequacy and a loss of control on her part—which she filled the void by the one thing she could control: her diet. She stopped eating, first only skipping meals, which lead to her not eating for long periods of time. It was tied in with a sense of control, she felt like the only thing she had a say over was what went into her body, and it ruined her teenage years—looking back, she feels as if she lost them entirely to her eating disorder.

She went through extensive therapy, and with the support of family and friends, she's now since recovered, though to this day she doesn't eat in large gatherings of people, as it makes her nervous. When she was 19, she was discovered by a modeling agency, and although progress in those first initial three or four years were slow, she has now since boomed into a C-list celebrity; she's become someone who the public has an eye on, but definitely turns their gaze away from when bigger stars enter the room.
