[ PERSONALITY ]

Not many things can get to Polli, in fact, rude comments often just reflect off of her. She likes to combat rude comments with compliments and really just wants to be friends with everyone. Polli is very cheerful and she rarely shows anything other than happiness. This doesn't mean she doesn't feel any other emotions. She is easily scared, making her kind of a wimp. When she feels negative emotions, Polli finds herself shutting down or blanking to ignore them. Polli is very indecisive as well, and will actually take hours to come up with an answer for something as simple as what candy flavor to buy. When she does decide on something, she is very confident about that choice. Polli is also not spoiled, in fact, quite the opposite. The young woman loves giving to people and making them happy. In fact, she does her best to make everyone smile, no matter how mean they really are or how much wrong they've done. This is because she sees the good in everyone and can't hold grudges for the life of her.

[ BACKSTORY ]

Polli grew up with just her and her mom. She didn't know what had happened to her father until she was fourteen and her mother finally told her. He'd been a verbally abusive jerk and her mom took Polli and ran away when Polli was only five years old. Apparently her dad had yelled at her a lot as well, but this was unknown to Polli because she'd just blocked it out. Polli still couldn't find it in her to hate her dad, because she had no memories of him being awful. 

Polli's mother cared a lot about what people thought, and was often embarrassed by Polli's shenanigans, but it was obvious she just wanted her daughter to be happy.  Pretty much her entire life, Polli liked to get into trouble and hang out with tons of people at once. Though she could never make any really close friends because her mother was constantly moving her all around the world. At first Polli didn't like this, but she grew to love traveling. 

When the young woman was sixteen, her mother got really sick and died. Before this she manage to make Polli promise to keep traveling. 

[ BIG EVENT ]

While on a roadtrip with a few of her friends, the carriage they were in broke down and Polli and four of her friends were stranded in a heat wave. They were stuck in the desert for hours before Polli decided she'd go and find help. She was never able to find anyone before she collapsed and died of a heatstroke.  

Eventually somebody found her friends and they survived, but Polli had already passed on by that point.

It's sloppy I know but I hope it's still alright
