Astrid is a rather complex girl. there are so many facets of her personality, but honestly, you will probably never even know the half of them. she has been know to be a bit of a bitch, who people love to hate... in a way. she does put up a tough front but underneath it all she's a huge softy. but she doesn't like to advertise that simply because she'd rather not get walked all over. Astrid's been in the business a long time, she grew up in it, so she knows what can happen to people if they show their emotions, or flaws. they'd get cut up, and that is the absolute last thing Astrid wants. but even still this girl really has a way with words, astrid will always speak her mind, not usually one to keep anything to herself. if she doesn’t like someone, she will definitely let them know it, but likewise, if she likes someone it will not be a secret. which incidentally also goes against her belief that she should keep things to herself. It may get her into a heap of trouble, but she doesn't exactly care. it's a matter of opinion not so much emotion. Astrid is extremely confident, and at times, is rather too confident for her own good. she tends to speak without thinking, unconscious of the consequences or how she may make others feel. sure she cares about the feelings of others but she doesn't like to let on about it, she'd rather keep that under wraps.
Astrid is not a stranger to gossip and rumors. Even though she's now just a fashion designer there is a surprising amount of gossip that goes around about her. but Astrid is not the kind of girl to be hurt and upset about the rumors. 99 percent of the time the rumors are just that. there's absolutely no truth to them whatsoever, so naturally Astrid just laughs it off, because the gossip is just so ridiculous that there is no possible way that it could possibly be true. Astrid pities anyone in the gossip industry, and believes that they should find something better to do with their lives than to make things up about the rich and famous. Astrid will always speak her mind, but it has gotten her in trouble, but since when does she care about that. However, Astrid isn't out to insult ever one or get into fights with everybody, she's a great girl. She's always smiling, and she loves having a good time. There is virtually nothing that can keep Astrid from having the time of her life. After all she's twenty, happy, and thriving. She knows how to keep a float in the ever changing hollywood society.
however, now that you’ve heard all bad there is to know about the youngest bloom girl, it’s time to focus on the positive aspects of her personality. firstly, she is probably one of the most loyal people you will ever meet, that is, if she likes you enough. there are people in her life that she has accepted as a friend and if you happen to be one of those people, she’s the best friend you’ll ever want or need. she’ll stick by you until the end and be there for a 2AM chat or a shoulder to cry on. not everyone is her friend though; she works hard at keeping friends and expects they will work just as hard to stick by her. if they don't she feels as though she needs to reconsider their friendship, and a lot of the time she'll end up dumping the friends who just weren't there for her them same way she was there for her. underneath the rebellious and tough exterior, there really is a nice girl hiding in there. also Astrid is crazy independent. she grew up virtually alone, with both of her parents off around the world doing god knows what. she grew up learning how to take care of herself. which is great because now at the age of twenty she is completely self-sufficient, and has been for about 4 years. the fact that she has just suppressed this side of her personality is the reason that not many really get to see the happy side of astrid virtue. it takes a lot to break through astrid's protective outer walls and discover the sweet girl deep down inside, but in the end, you will probably find it’s worth it.

their outter shell
appearance:
with her intelligent and bright blue eyes and her savvy dark brown locks, astrid isn't one to be passed by ; evenly put she's a beautiful young woman. she's got the imperative sense of beauty that's stereotypical now-a-days, but her beauty is a homely and comfortable one. even though that may said to be true, astrid doesn't see her 'beauty' and is actually quite self conscious. astrid's a femme-fatale without even trying to be. she developed quite early and it paid off in the long run. she's relevantly pretty without being barbie gorgeous or plastic, which tends to be a plus -considering she never really liked barbies anyways. with her huge, doe-like honey eyes and her chestnut brown locks ; she was much more then just a simple face. astrid is a pretty girl, but her beauty was much more complex then the average teenaged girl. her smile, and her laugh tends to lights up the room, even though she denies it constantly.
and with astrid's prominent facial features she likes to believe that her face is her biggest asset. she has the face of a classic beauty , serious while being slightly on the vulnerable side. she has locks of an off-set brunette, bordering a mixture of browns and black varied by the sunlight. they flow past her slender shoulders and down towards the middle of her back. naturally straight, easily managed the fronts of her hair are seemingly shorter then the rest and curve towards her neck instinctively. they add flare to her glowing, golden skin tone.
astrid is built nothing like a model, she's shapely in the wrong places and she eats more than a celery stick each day. with her easy, pale skin tone and even with this she glows in the light no matter the colors she has on. at times she doesn't find it too desirable and most of the time she wishes that she was much more tanned than she is in reality. you can't place astrid's clothing style into a category because it ranges from a wide variety of things. she'll be seen in anything from skirts to jeans and a tank and at times she even enjoys dressing up. however, she's a fashionista without even trying, she comes up with absurd clothing choices, but it always seems to work - and she doesn't know why.

history:
On February 21st Astrid Elizabeth Renyolds was born to the Renyoldst family, in Manhattan. Astrid had three older siblings, Nathan, Jayne, Mitchell. Astrid really enjoyed having older siblings, especially when she was younger. and being the youngest, and the only girl, always made things more fun. For her first couple years of life things were completely fantastic! She lived in Miami, Las Vegas and New York. She was the spoiled little princess in the family - without a doubt. Astrid got whatever her little heart desired, and she hoped that it would always be like that. And being the fabulous child she was why would it not be. Besides she had to be her parents favorite, it was what she aimed for no matter what. And man did she succeed with that one. She had cause so many issues with the family that two of her brothers, Chase and Tyler, seemed to hate her... a lot. when Astrid was 7 or 8 and a half her family moved to Manhattan. [her father got transfered]
Growing up was less than average for Astrid, she had a very large family, and she was teased most of the time. She went to school and got amazing marks, which was just another reason for Chase and Tyler to hate her. And part of her actually enjoyed the fact that they had always been so jealous of her, and the attention that she received from everyone. But Astrid did have her ups, and most certainly ceratinly her downs. Throughout the primary grades in school she was teased a lot, and didn't have too many friends. Except for Haley, her best friend - who's a year older than Astrid. And surprisingly this affected the poor young girl a lot more than it really should have. Astrid became quite withdrawn whenever she left the house. Astrid figured that if she was quiet enough she would disappear and then the teasing would stop. But it really didn't stop until she got a little bit older.
In middle school Astrid started to open up a little bit more, and it helped. The boys and the catty girls had 'apparently' grown up a little bit since they were four and they stopped teasing and pestering Astrid. However, this didn't change Astrid's social status, she still had next to no friends and she generally hung out alone. It wasn't until the eighth grade that Astrid began to become popular. And once she tasted popularity there was nothing else she wanted more. At home she was still the princess, and she would always use that to her advantage. Her parents had no idea how Astrid felt, or how she was being treated by her class mates. And it seemed as if they really didn't care. But that didn't bother Astrid. She didn't want her parents to know that she had no friends at all. Astrid believed it would change how her parents saw her... and she couldn't have that.
By the time Astrid started high school she still loved the idea that her siblings were so much older than her. Her parents were still wrapped around her finger.. what could go wrong? Well nothing as of yet. Astrid was sent to California, for a very short period of time. Her parents didn't want to have to take care of her for a little bit. Astrid loved being at Prep school though, she loved meeting new people, but she hated being away from her friends. Astrid made many friends, all of which were in the 'in' crowd, within the first week of being at prep school . Astrid, however, was still a brilliant little thing, which always served her well. But even though Astrid was enjoying herself, it didn't take too long for her parents to bring her back to Manhattan. It was a lot different from elementary school, and boy-oh-boy did she love that in high school, but she missed her friends, so she had to make new ones. It didn't take long for her parents to ship her off again, this time to Verde , which Astrid wasn't totally thrilled about, but she knew she had to deal.
But then that's when everything changed. Astrid was still fourteen and super excited to be starting sophomore year, plus she was in new york , which made everything different.. to say the least... She kind of loved it! But that's when things started to get weird. Her parents were all distant, as were her siblings. No one would tell Astrid what was going on, and Astrid didn't like that. To say the least. It turns out that her mom was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer, and no one wanted to tell her. shortly after that her mom died, and it devistated Astrid completely. Astrid was upset, and didn't talk to anyone for weeks. And from that Astrid began to get really sick, she took her mother's death exceptionally hard, and she started having panic attacks. but after a couple trips to a doctor, then a therapist she was able to control her panic attacks.
After the death of her mother Astrid moved away from her family with nathan and continued her sophomore year in new jersey. It was hard for Astrid to get over the death of her mother. and she still has to cope with it everyday, but things are definitely getting better - especially considering it's been about 2 years since her mom died. She moved to new jersey with her brother Nathan to get her mind off of her mother, and it kind of worked.. for a bit, but she still thinks about her mother often. Now with junior year starting up, and her audition for julliard coming up she has an entire new set of stresses to deal with.

Audrey felt as thought her heart was going to jump out of her chest as she was looking into Greg's eyes. He mentioned something about taking her dress of, as she just nodded still looking at him square in the eyes. she wasn't really paying too much attention to what Greg was saying. but she was paying a great deal of attention to what he was doing. After all at the moment that seemed to be the more important aspect on the moment. That wasn't to say that Audrey was completely forgetting about her feelings, or how important the communication part of their 'relationship' was, she was just kind of preoccupied with other things. Things that were at the forefront of her mind. Like how much she loved when Greg kissed her neck, or how he was the first guy that she actually wanted to cuddle with after sex, although she wasn't about to let Greg know about those things. It seemed like she didn't want to share too many things with Greg, just for the sheer fact that she felt as though she'd be loosing, like it was some sort of battle, or game. And just thinking that Greg was playing games with her was fairly upsetting, so Audrey tried her best not to think of that possibility, and keep her mind focussed on the present, what was going on right then and there.
Audrey still had the coy little smile on her face, but there was something in side of her that couldn't hold back any longer. She was sick of playing these games, but that didn't mean she was ready to tell that to Greg.. yet anyways. She leaned in closer to Greg as he was still working on taking off her dress and she reached up slowly and softly planting a seductive, sweet kiss upon his lips. The kind that always left him wanting more. She pulled away and bit her lower lip, with the same coy, seductive look on her face. If Audrey said she wasn't playing along with Greg she'd be lying, she was playing with him, but for good reason. She did have true feelings for him, she just wasn't too sure how to show them. And Audrey figured that playing along would somehow show Greg that she was interested. But it seemed to Audrey that Greg wasn't getting it.. She felt as though it was kind of hopeless... but she never stopped.
Audrey placed her hand on the back of Greg's neck, still trying to inch herself closer, although it seemed impossible for them to get any closer than they already were. She began to run her fingers through Greg's hair as she began to whisper into his ear. 'maybe we should get you out of your clothing, baby' rolled off her tongue as she smiled to herself as she slowly started to kiss Greg's neck, her hand still tangled in his hair. Their bodies were pressed together, and Audrey wouldn't have had it any other way. She felt so safe in Greg's arms. His touch, embrace, everything seemed to drive Audrey wild. It was a shock that she couldn't bring up how she really felt in this situation, but she knew she'd have to get over it.. and maybe one day being it up in a serious conversation. However, today did not seem like it was going to be that day. Audrey really just wanted to enjoy herself, and not have to worry about what would happen if Greg were to find out her true feelings towards him. It really scared Audrey, and not even her best friends knew how she felt. Now that she thought about it, she wasn't even sure her best friends knew she had anything going on with Greg, which meant they had no idea how she felt about him.. For once in her life Audrey's friends didn't know about her new guy.. Well Greg wasn't exactly new.
