I'm a victim of my instinct.[/color][/font]
Unraveling and reeling, think I'm wise.[/color][/font][/center]
- Insight - Paige has a keen awareness of the world around her. She notices minuscule details that go unnoticed by most folks. She is no Sherlock Holmes by any means, but she can spot a Prada knock off from a quarter of a mile away. She takes careful note of the way people word their sentences, and picks up on small hints. This helps her identify people for what they truly are. For example if a girl says that hand bag is nice, or if the girl says that it was nice. Be careful what you say around her.
- Confidence – Paige has style, money, beauty, and a sweet ride. Of course, she is booming with confidence. She comes from wealth, and sophistication, and is under the impression she can have whatever or whoever she wants. Words may sting, but they simply roll down her designer sleeve, only to be trampled over by her designer boots. If you want to hurt her with harsh words, you had better commit. In a verbal since she is bullet proof.
- Charm – While she may possess a rather sharp tongue, she is still charming. Her verbal attacks always come with a smile, and sometimes a sassy hair flip for good measure, but most boys cannot resist her charm. Teachers, police men, and college boys are far from immune. She uses it to her advantage to get people to do her dirty work for her.
- Understanding – She knows the basic weakness of humans. Men falter over lust, and girls often make mistakes when boys tell them how pretty they are. As far as the opposite sex is concerned, she knows better than to fall for a few sweet words, and promises that are destined to be broken. She is very protective over her heart, and never jumps unless she is sure that someone will be there to catch her.
- Sassy – She as a wit to match her allowance. She is quick, and sarcastic. She might not be strong, or fast, or book smart, but she knows how to talk her way out of a jam. She is not afraid to have a debate, and stand up for herself. She will not be walked over by anyone.
- Organized – She has a bit of an o.c.d issue. She likes things clean, and neat in her life. She finds that there are certain things in her life that she has no control over, but she compensates for that by making sure as many things are in order in her life as possible. Her room, wallet, car, locker are always tidy, and personalized.
- Heart – While this ice princess has a hard exterior, on the inside it is all warm and fuzzy. She has friends, and crushes, and aunts that she cares about. It is a difficult task, but if you have an ice pick big enough for the job it is well worth the effort, just to get close to this girl. She loves with all of her being, and puts everything she has into her treasured relationships.
WEAKNESSES
- Human – Paige is only human, and can be killed by the usual things that humans are susceptible to. She has a low immune system, and is often sick. She is hardly a threat to anyone. Well, unless they are wearing the same shoes as her, then she can become quite terrifying.
- Attitude – People either worship her, or they fear her either way they are jealous. She comes off as bitchy, which is pretty accurate. Most people try to just stay out of her way. She can be cruel, and most of her insults are triggered by honest observations, which make them hurt even more. What makes it worse is that she is not bothered if she hurts anyone’s feelings. She says what she means.
- Patience – She has zero patience, and hates waiting for anything. She likes things to be instantaneous, and happen on her command. Since the world sadly does not work like this she often finds herself furious, and irritated. She hates waiting in line, or waiting two weeks for a new scarf to ship over from France. Don’t make this girl wait, or you will really see her bad side.
- School – She is not dumb, but she hardly understands algebra. She is at a loss when it comes to computers, and would not know where to begin on a science project. Luckily, she has a few nerds in her back pocket. She flirts with them, they get her an A on her assignments. It is a win, win situation for everyone. When it comes to test, she uses her charm to convince teachers that her answers, or essays were founded with good reasoning. This was how she got a B, on her paper explaining why the great depression was a good thing.
- Judgmental – She hates weird people, and people that just aren’t up to her standard. She has a very narrow view on how people should be, and is surprised to find that the majority of people do not fit into this view. She hates being seen with these people, and worries that it might make her look un-cool.

Paige stands at 5’4, if not more thanks to her pointy heels. She weighs roughly about a hundred and fifteen pounds, and her weight is evenly proportioned. Her hair is naturally a medium brown, but she usually gets highlights put in, especially around the summer to brighten it. It frames her face loosely, and hangs a bit past her shoulders. She usually wears it down, or pulled back in a pony tail. She rarely dresses it up. She is considered beautiful, and she likes to think that her hair plays as a major factor to that and she likes to show it off. She has the light hint of a tan, but she rarely goes out into the sun to tan anymore for fear of cancer. She has dark brown, expressive eyes. She likes to play them up with dark makeup. She has no scars, and would never taint her body with a tattoo. She only wears the latest styles, and her clothes are always ‘in’.
PERSONALITY
From a distance – She seems like a total bitch, with no regard for anyone but herself. She can be considered a princess, with loyal sheep who follow her around worshiping everything she says or wears. She is cruel, and blunt to a fault. She is charming, and has people who give into her without question. She is witty, and sarcastic, but always with a smile on her face and never in a nasty way. She is clean, well groomed, and always sharply dressed. This is a very shallow view of her, but if you passed her on the street, this is how you would see her. Most people believe that her beauty is only skin deep.
In the mirror – It is not that she is misunderstood, because she says exactly what she thinks without hesitation. However, what you see is not exactly what you get with this girl. She does have a soul, buried somewhere under that Victoria’s secret bra. Her kindness is often laced with sarcasm, so sometimes it is hard to decipher her intentions. She has more on her mind then simply shoes. She has a positive, glass half full outlook on like. She tries to make the best of situations, unless she is tired, or dirty. She does not handle surprises, or danger well. She is not involved in other’s peoples business, and only pretends to like rumors. She does a lot of things just for the sake of popularity. She does not have trust issues, but she tends to be cautious before getting close to someone.
On matters of the heart – When Paige falls in love, she falls hard, and fast. The object of her affection becomes her entire world. She dreams of a big wedding, with a designer dress, and custom heels. Once her heart is broken, it does not take long for it to mend again.
How she views the world – She finds that it is better if she avoids weird people, because her popularity suffers less. She is motivated, and driven, and always accomplishes any goal she sets her heart on. She has a creative mind, and is highly imaginative. She will not be walked over by any one for any reason. Revenge is sweetest when it is least expected. She is a very tough girl, and can usually brush off any insecurity or worries. If something does bother her she refuses to show it, and prefers to cry alone. She will not let you know if her feelings are hurt. She is very guarded.
LIKES
- Fashion – She likes clothes, and only clothes that are in style. She is ahead of the trends, and up on the fads. It is a symbol of her status, a way to say – hey, I’m better then you. It is a way of life.
- Boys – She enjoys attention from the opposite sex, even if she has no intention of returning it. She likes to feel desired, and adored.
- Cute Critters – She has a weak spot for fuzzy little animals. She rescues animals, and all of her pets have come from shelters. She has difficulty showing her emotions to humans, but animals do not judge her, and she can be herself.
- Getting her way – She will fight tooth and nail, but one way or another things are going to work out her way. She refuses to take shit from anyone.
- Organization – She likes things to be clean, and in order. This also applies to her personal hygiene, and how she presents herself. She likes things to be –for lack of a better word- perfect.
- Being Creative – It is not often that she gets to do something creative. She has an active social life but she enjoys making things pretty. This applies to her clothes. She likes to crochet, and even draw, and color, but she would deny it if you asked her.
- Social – She is popular, and she works hard to maintain it. She likes to party and go places to be seen.
DISLIKES
- Weird people – She hates anyone that could be seen as a threat to her popularity.
- Girls – She hates anyone that she sees as a threat. If a girl is more pretty then her, or if they are more bitchy then her then chances are she will feel the need to remove the threat.
- Drama – Sure she likes to insult, and show that she is the queen of the school, but she hates anything more than that. She hates cat fights, and arguing.
- Lies - No one likes being lied to, but she never forgets. You have once chance with her, you lie to her, and it is over. She will never trust you again.
- Water – She loves to be clean, and adores bathes. She hates swimming, or being near large bodies of water. It messes up her hair, and dirty water can ruin clothes. Not to mention drowning. She likes going to the beach for the sun, and nothing else.

Where do I run? Where do I run now?

Paige Alexandria Dawson is the daughter of the wealthy Richard and Pamela Dawson. She is their only daughter, and the heir to the enormous fortune. Pamela, formerly Pamela Carrel, made her money by starting her own business. Everyone told her that it was impossible to make any respectable amount of money selling makeup door to door. She made it her ultimate goal in life to prove them wrong. Around the neighborhood, she was known as just Mary’s sister, but everything soon changed and she got her own name and stepped out from under her sister’s shadow. She was known as the cosmetic lady, and once she convinced a few women to trust her brand, they all renounced name brand makeup. Being a beautician, who was working her way through college to become a chemist she had the perfect combination of both worlds. She had the knowhow and determination and after a few years, and several trial and errors she had the ingredients down and her blends were highly sought after.
Pamela’s sister Mary went on to become a famous actress, and hit it big in Hollywood for a few years, before settling down and getting her own TV show. Pamela refused to be out done, and made her own name selling, PD Cosmetics. She later married Richard Dawson, the perfect trophy husband. As the president, and founder of PD Cosmetics she was not lacking in fame or fortune, and had everything she could possibly want by the age of thirty. Everything except for someone to take over the company when she was gone. It took two long years of trying, but it was all worth it once the lovely Paige was born. Pamela wanted to keep the P name in the family, so Paige could take on PD Cosmetics.
Finally, Pamela and Mary reconciled their differences, and ended their rivalry once Paige came along. Mary wanted to be a part of her niece’s life, and came home to Miami every chance she got. Between a loving aunt, a wealthy mother, and a doting father Paige was spoiled from the get go. Growing up in Miami, Paige was exposed to various things, but it was nothing compared to the vacations that her mother and aunt would lavish her with. Paris, New York, Malian, London, all for the sake of advertising makeup and promoting movies. Clothes became an obsession of hers at a tender age. In the early days she did a bit of modeling, and was influenced by foreign designers and models. Her mother was the one that got her into the modeling world by pulling a few contacts, she wanted the world to see how beautiful her daughter was. However, it was her father that put an end to that. He said it was too much for his young fourteen year old daughter. He tried to instill respect and humility in her, and it was a challenge to keep the jet-setting child grounded.
Paige’s mother and father fought over what kind of school she would go to. Her mother naturally wanted her to go to a private school. Her father wanted her to be around normal people, and go to public school. Her father had come from a middle class family, and had lived as an ordinary person. Up until the point that Pamela had seen the handsome man and decided that, she wanted him for her very own. She treated him as a position, not a husband.
Paige found that she enjoyed public school, she liked being around ‘lesser’ people, it made her feel vastly more important. She had better clothes, and more money than them, not to mention she could throw way better parties. She instantly rose to the peak of popularity. She joined the cheerleading squad, only to make herself seem more important.
Last year her mother and father had a big argument, Paige never found out what it was about because her mother liked to pretend that everything in her life was perfect, and tried to ignore problems. Her father only wanted to protect her. She suspected her mother was having an affair, but she was never sure. Her mother moved out, leaving her daughter and ex husband alone in the mansion. Their home felt even larger and less homey after she left. Her mother moves around a lot now, going where she is needed to run the company and promote PD Cosmetics. She sends Paige a check every month, and a card on her birthday, other than that Paige rarely hears from her mother.
She has bonded more with her father over time, and is no longer around the shallow, self absorbed influence in her life. Slowly she is starting to see that there is more to life then clothes. Very slowly! For her birthday her mother bought her a brand new black mustang. However, she forgot to call her on the actual day. She does not feel ill against her mother, she does not blame her. She realizes that her mom has an entire business to run. She tries to keep a positive outlook on life, and not blame herself.
CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT
Paige is simply put the ‘Cordelia type’, keeping with that trend, I want her to at some point in the future be a link from the powers that be. She would receive visions, and be forced to help the ‘weird’ people she hates so much. She would struggle with wanting to help the people or stop the events she sees in her visions, and wanting to avoid the losers. It is possible that when she does come into contact with her visions she could be used by the bad guys in some way. If she is unaware that a vampire or an evil demon is in her midst, she might unknowingly spill all the details about what is coming. Or what she has learned about the slayer.
For now, she is the popular girl that hates the losers, and is hated by the losers. Unless one of them wants to be her friend? She is useless in battle and is the perfect damsel in distress. Perhaps if the slayer or one of ‘scoobs’ saves her life she might be a little more friendly to them. She could also be a love interest for a hot guy. I’m up for any ideas as well.

ROLEPLAY SAMPLE GOES HERE
“Paige!” Paige, knew that when her father used ‘that’ tone, it was never a good thing. She inhaled deeply before stepping backward, over the threshold and back inside her home. She exhaled a sigh as she closed the door. It looked like it was going to be a while before she got to go out. Her shiny new car would have to wait.
“Yeah daddy?” she said sweetly, before turning around to face him. She knew she was in trouble, she just did not know yet what she was in trouble for. There was no reason to admit defeat, at least until she figured out which thing he had found out about.
“Mrs. Lopez called.” Her father said sternly. ‘Oh’, she thought. That was what she was in trouble for.
“And…?” she replied. It was best to play innocent, at least until proven guilty. She had plans tonight, big plans, and getting her car taken away was the worst possible thing that could happen at that moment.
“Your failing Spanish, I thought you told me you found a girl to tooter you?” She and her father had agreed that she would find a girl this time, because the last few times she had a boy she learned more about rolling her tongue, and less about rolling her tongue to pronounce R’s.
“I…” but before she could say anything else, he was speaking again.
“If you want, I can hire someone to help you with your Espanola?” He offered.
“Thanks dad, but I really need someone to help me out with Spanish.”
“Espanola is Spanish honey.”
“Spanish for what?” Paige watched as her father turned around, heading back up the stairs.
“I’ll have someone here tomorrow afternoon.” It was all he said, before he disappeared. Paige hated that look on her father’s face, he looked disappointed. But, whatever, that was a problem for tomorrow. Tonight she had a manicure scheduled, and a date with a hot, older, college guy.
