[averygirard]

Name: Avery Girard
Age: sixteen
Gender: female
Riding Experience: advanced

Appearance: Avery is a petite girl with a short torso and long legs. This girl was built to ride. She has curly medium length light brown colored hair, and creamy brown eyes. Avery has a light complexion, never tan. She isn't one for outstanding makeup, but a little blush and mascara aren't uncommon.
Avery normally wears a slightly tomboyish wardrobe, but never with any bright colors. She is crazy pretty, but tries to hide it because of her shyness. Around the barn, she always wears some type of collared shirt, whether it be a polo or a turtleneck, breeches, muck boots, and bundles of layers when the weather permits.

Personality: Avery summed up in two words is, painfully shy. She was outgoing as a child, but cancer changed her. Avery has a few close friends back home, ones that broke her out of her shell. Upon meeting someone, she will say hi to be polite, but won't start a conversation herself. With the male gender, Avery is especially inexperienced, and blushes like crazy most of the time while trying to avoid contact. Though she is shy, Avery is a good student, and enjoys her status as a wallflower.

Parents:
Marie Girard / 43 / Schoolteacher
Pierre Girard / 45 / Farrier

History: Avery was born in a small town in the south of France. She and her family lived there until she was well into middle school, naturally she spoke French as a child. Her father, Pierre introduced Avery to horses at an early age. The Girards were not well off so riding was a far away dream for Avery, until she began to work in order to ride at a local barn. Avery found her calling early in eventing, and rode as many horses as she could, showing whenever possible. When Avery was in sixth grade, the doctors told the Girard family that Avery had cancer. This was a huge hit to Avery as she was not able to ride much because of her condition. Her parents were told that Avery would have a better chance in American hospitals, so they packed up and left for New York. Avery hated it, but she endured, and two years later was diagnosed cancer-free. While she was in the hospital, Avery learned English, and practiced with the doctors. She also kept up with schooling so she wouldn't have to stay back a grade. Avery was given her first horse through Make A Wish when she was 14. She rode constantly and improved her skills even though she had been out of practice. Avery was soon dominating in the American shows. Her parents were worried about her happiness though because they never saw Avery with other girls her age. They chose to send her to boarding school where she could ride and meet new people.

Role Play Example: Mina strode down the history corridor with ultimate confidence, her hair giving a slight bounce with each step. She thought she had enough time to get to her first real class, government. The girl had never been a big fan of history classes, especially those involving any sort of government; but it was a required course, so she might as well get it over with. Mina felt a buzz in the pocket of her romper, she pulled her iPhone out gingerly and looked at the text. It was from one of her friends back home. Mina paused in the middle of the hall to answer it. She tapped away at the touchscreen, not letting teachers see what she was holding. Mina quickly slipped the phone back into her pocket as the bell rang. Crap! she exclaimed, jogging down the hall. She thought for a small moment that her outfit might not be ideal. Mina loved it though, with the British tights, and Martin Margiela cut out boots! They made her look so much taller than she actually was. Mina's heels tapped along the hall, she reached the classroom quickly, not at all out of breath. Mina strode in matter-of-factly. So sorry, she said, putting on an innocent tone, It's my first day, the campus is kind of confusing. Mina shrugged lightly, heading for the back corner, where she always sat in classes. She really didn't care whether she was late or not, it was government for crying out loud! It looked to be a boring class, the professor looked to be old enough to experience the Revolution. Mina rolled her eyes out of his sight as she saw someone in her usual seat. She looked at him for a moment, sizing him up for future seat competition. Mina plunked her yellow pack down two seats in front of the guy, she took her jacket off as well, setting it on the back of her chair. The student sat down at the desk and pulled out a red binder filled with dividers, white lined paper, and a red folder. She had previously labeled it 'GOVERNMENT', graffiti style on the front of the binder. Mina sat impatiently waiting for class to start, the sooner it started, the sooner it would be over.
