Name: Annaliese-Carlijn
Last name: Libra
Role name:  "Leave me alone or leave with a black eye"
Age: 17
Gender: female
Sexuality: aromantic + asexual
Personality: Annaliese-Carlijn is spunky and lovely and charming, but she can be moody and she can (and will) completely cut you out of her life if she doesn't like you. She isn't the most social, but she's liked, for her sarcasm and the way the things she says can come out of nowhere. She plans everything; if her star sign weren't scales it would be a snake. Every risk she takes is calculated. Annaliese-Carlijn would make a great lawyer; she can argue a point past the point of rationality and she'll never back down from an argument or debate. She loves those close to her with all her heart, but she'll never love someone in that way. And no, you don't get to call her Annaliese, or Carlijn, or Anna, and definitely not AC. It's only "do your lips taste as good as they look?" that gets to call her that.
Face claim: Ellen Page
Reason for signing up: "we needed money and I thought I could beat the inevitable. I didn't" Annaliese-Carlijn's family is deeply in debt and she needs a way to support them. With an ailing father who's fading fast, a sister who's just turned one and needs constant care, and a drug-addict mother who can't keep a job, it falls to Annaliese-Carlijn to support herself, her baby sister and her parents. The bills for her father's treatment and for the flat and for the water just keep piling up. They lost electricity two months ago, gas just last week and water might go soon - Annaliese-Carlijn is collecting rainwater and cunning is just a survival trait at this point.
Zodiac/faction: Libra
Backstory: did Annalise-Carlijn have much of a childhood? No, she did not. Before she was born, her mother was an alcoholic, and Annaliese-Carlijn was premature and tiny. The small stature stuck. Her father was a light in the darkness, a teacher of little kids, and he was Annaliese-Carlijn's superhero.
(2) When he fell ill Annaliese-Carlijn was heartbroken, age five and not ready to be an orphan. She would stay at friends' houses and steal little bits of money to pay for the latest medicine... until she got caught, age six, and then she didn't have friends anymore, she had targets. She moved to a state school where no one knew her and she stopped stealing from friends, and stole from enemies instead. She nurses grudges like they're children and has a long, long list of 'enemies'. People liked her; but nobody knew her. Age seven: her mother added cocaine and heroin to her growing list of addictions, Annaliese-Carlijn's childhood officially ended when she caught her mother in the act with another man. Was it consensual? Annaliese-Carlijn didn't know. Age eight: much the same. Her father got worse. She started stealing from adults. Heavy hands were a curse but her small size let her get away with it. Age nine: similar. Made a friend; she died. Age ten: her father nearly flatlined. The hospital charged crazy amounts for his newest prescription and the debt started piling up. Age eleven: senior school, new faces, new pockets lined with pocket money. Stealing was stepped up. Age twelve: "do your lips taste as good as they look?" began to pester her. She was attacked in an alleyway. Got a knife, stabbed the guy, he kept coming. She got him off her, he died, she thought she saw someone at the end of the alley but it must have been nothing. A week later, "do your lips taste as good as they look?" stops after much rejection, they become friends. Age thirteen: same. Her first real friendship. They tell each other everything. Age fourteen: same. Age fifteen: same. The debt gets too much somedays. She has cried into "do your lips taste as good as they look?"'s arms more times than she can count. Age sixteen: Claudia-Nel is born. Annaliese-Carlijn hates her mother for cheating on her father, but adores her little sister. Age seventeen: the solution hits her in the face. The coin, the money, save her father, he can get a job, less debt, save her and Claudia-Nel. "I thought I could beat the inevitable." "I didn't."
Nation: air
Weapon of choice: knife
Weaknesses: Annaliese-Carlijn is not strong. She's small and weak and she hates it. She has, frankly, terrible aim and couldn't hit an elephant if it had a target painted on it. She won't trust people unless they have proved themselves to be reliable. The only people she trusts are herself, her father, her sister and "do your lips taste as good as they look?". She's passive-aggressive and moody, sometimes, and though people like her she's not a social butterfly.
Strengths: Annaliese-Carlijn is fast. She's lightning quick and can run circles around people. She's cunning, and plans two steps ahead of every move. She's vicious and zany and she'll do what it takes.
