Her hair is black and cut short like a boy's, spiking out in all directions. It's not gel- all she has to do is run a hand through it for the hedgehog effect. Jinx isn't exactly pretty, but more striking and memerable.
She has a pale, heart-shaped face and pointed chin. Her eyes are a bright green and framed by heavy lashes. Both ears are pierced twice, once in the lobe and once on the rim. She's considering a nose stud as well.
PERSONAL STYLE . Jinx dresses in a way that makes mothers hide their children when she walks into a room. The teen likes space, and making people back off is one way to get it.
She always wears a pair of heavy combat boots, no matter the weather. Since she's pretty short, they give her a feeling of emotional superiority. That and they're perfect for kicking shins.
She wears a lot of black and neon green, mostly form-fitting clothing. Flapping sleeves bug her, as does the color pink. She has a leather jacket she's particularly fond of.[/size][/ul]

WEAKNESSES .
$ VERY clumsy. Her boots don't exactly help.

% She once had a huge crush on Justin Timberlake.
% Her parents' divorce effected her a lot more than she lets on.
% She wishes she could sing, but it utterly horrible at it.
% Jinx loves to watch Saturday morning cartoons in her pajamas.
FAIRY PAST .
Her ancestor was Sasha, the air fairy. The little fairy's attitude didn't exactly breed true, but her powers certainly did. Jinx's familiar is a crow named Wyrd.
OVERALL PESONALITY .
Jinx likes to project an image of toughness and complete confidence, though that isn't exactly true. She loves using sarcasm and dry wit, and will insult friends and enemies alike, though perhaps not with the same fervor. For anyone who really tries to befriend her, this is the first obstacle to overcome.
If you do become her friend, you'll see that underneath the tough shell she's rather sweet. Jinx doesn't like to let anyone in close and has trouble trusting people. She feels that if she lets someone in, that gives them the power to hurt her even worse. At the same time she fears being alone in the world.
With her temper roused, Jinx goes into a kind of berserker rage where she will destroy anything in her way to get to the person who made her mad. This has resulted in quite a few charges of damage to personal property and phone calls to her mother. She's not exactly a popular lass at school outside of the music room, where she's one of the best students.
She doesn't believe in magic, or even really the afterlife. Jinx's attention is on the here and now. When strange things happen, she's always got a quick explanation, no matter how implausible it may seem.

` don't tell a soul goodbye,
CURRENT LOCATION . Watersburg.
FATHER . Matthew Jenks.
MOTHER . Debbie Jenks.
SIBLINGS . None
PETS . She doesn't have any, not being at one house long enough to give it the attention it needs. However, at her father's house there's a crow that often perches on the back fence. She'll feed it bread crumbs and just chat for a while, unloading her feelings to a nonhuman audience.
OTHER FAMILY . None.
HISTORY .
Jinx grew up in a top-floor apartment in New York City with her mother and father, back when she was still Catty. Her parents were comfortably middle-class, and she loved living in the city and the hustle and bustle of city life. However, at age 11, something happened that would alter her life.
Her parents brought her into the living room one evening, both seated on opposite sides of the room and with very serious expressions. Catty's immediate impression was that she'd done something wrong- "I didn't mean to, I promise! Jessica lied!" But Matthew and Debby quickly set her straight.
They were getting a divorce.
This hit the girl hard, and she became sullen and unresponsive to her mother's attempts to get her to open up. At age thirteen she cut her own hair, lopping off the long locks that had been her mom's favorite quality. She was shipped between the two parents for the next few years, growing accustomed to her situation but not exactly content.
Her attitude at school declined as well, and Jinx picked up playing the drums as an outlet for her feelings. Drums didn't try to get you to talk, they didn't offer meaningless condolences, and you could beat on them all you liked and get music that blocked out annoying thoughts.
Recently some strange things have been happening- hearing voices on a breeze, unusual whirlwinds sparking up beneath her feet. But Jinx has assured herself that nothing unusual is going on, and that the crow behind her house is just hungry and not sympathetic.

` here's the countdown,
PASSWORD . {Removed by admin}
RP SAMPLE .
"It's just...they made it through the first fourteen years of marriage, right? I mean, they've got practice. How hard could it possibly be?"
The black bird bobbed its beak in a sympathetic nod- but no, it was just reaching down to grab the last piece of bread. Jinx sighed and tossed out another.
She was laying on her stomach in the shaggy grass, head propped up with one hand as she watched the crow. This had become a regular routine for the pair of them, and if it was a bit like talking to herself, well, no one needed to know. The teen ran a hand through her messy black hair and spoke again.
"Some warning would have been nice, too. At least, 'Honey, mommy and daddy are having a little trouble tonight. Go up to your room while we talk this out.' Instead it was 'Oh, honey, I love your father. BOOM.'"
On the 'boom' she sat up and threw her arms out to the sides, scattering bread crumbs and throwing open her black leather jacket. The crowd didn't seem surprised by the sudden movement, but kept steadily munching away. Jinx scowled, narrowing her jade eyes.
"Eh, what do you care, you stupid bird. All you come for is the food."
And as she stomped off, black boots cutting through the grass, she didn't hear the crow exhale in an avian sigh.
