Name: Jaylene Harris
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Physical Description:
Tall and muscled, but with relatively few curves, she has an androgynous, tom-boyish look to her when she's not careful to cover that up. Jaylene has long, darkly auburn-brown hair with a few grey-strands already starting to fill in one side of her bangs, much like her mother (an early grey) and two of her elder sisters. She's caucasian, with heavily tanned skin and darker freckles across the more exposed portions of her skin. Her face is chiseled with a sharp nose, carefully plucked but relatively thick brows, and thin lips. Her eyes are a ruddy hazel colour, often adorned with eye shadow to help smooth her boyish face into something more feminine and attractive.
Jaylene tends to wear denim and flannel when she's not working, though she prefers form-fitting garments (with a little help from bra-padding!) to try to look less... mannish. Her parents would probably be shocked with her dressing habits, but she finds the freedom of living with only her roommates has allowed her to experiment a little more, and quite frankly, after 18 years of living boyishly, she sees cat calls as accomplishments.
Occupation: Waitress (taking a year off between classes and college)
Aptitude: Social, Physical, Mental
Backstory:
A local farm girl born in Red Deer but raised on a farm a little further east, just south of Lacombe, Jaylene is a roughshod, pragmatic young woman who wants to do something with her life aside from driving tractors and helping during calf-birthing season, but she's not sure what that is, yet. Born the fourth of seven daughters to her parents, she's the most tom-boyish of her sisters -- her mom had gotten desperate enough for a boy by the time that she came around to treat her more or less like one, which is something that Jaylene kind of found (and still finds) stigmatizing, especialy considering her build.
Going through school with more of an eye on the social side of things than the book learning, she was quick to pick up on a lot of stuff like making friends (and enemies) and making trouble with the opposite sex. Though not at the top of the totem pole, she managed to retain the rights to a decent position by keeping up to date with her cousins from Toronto, despite the fact that both sides of the family were estranged on her father's and uncle's parts. Jaylene became a conduit for new and interesting things in the high school world, with the bruiser attitude to beat anyone down who thought that she was being a freak. She also managed to keep free of the slutty farm girl stereotype that some might try to pin on her with the same 'freedom through fear' attitude.
Then graduation hit, and the young woman found herself cut loose without real plans to head to college. She followed her friends to Red Deer and took up a job at one of the city's several bars, working and helping to pay lion's share of rent while her two roommates went to school. Jaylene would prefer to be in classes herself, but she's looking for somewhere bigger than Red Deer to go to... however, Toronto seems like a long way away for a farm girl living by her own means.
Day in the Life of:
Jaylene usually starts her day out around 11am or noon, spending her afternoon on errands or doing research about different colleges, technical schools and universities in Canada (or the US) that might take her fairly average school scores... though she's undecided about what she wants to do, as yet, she's leaning towards law or perhaps law enforcement... though this may yet be impractical for her. Once a week she gets a package from her cousins (Michelle and Sarah) in Toronto including whatever the latest trends in music, fashion and so on can fit in the size of a shoe-box, and in return she sends out whatever she has found in Red Deer that they might appreciate. During the short break between when her roommates (Kristina and Heather) get out of classes and when Jaylene has to work, they tend to make supper together, get into fights about whose turn it is to do whatever chore, and gossip about said classes (or work, in Jaylene's case). Jay' starts work around 7pm, dressing in tight black clothing and making herself up before driving to the bar (it's not entirely high class, but it's not the dregs, either.) and finishing up around 3am. She serves drinks and helps the bar tenders when needed, cleans up, and does her best to make tips to augment the sort of crappy pay that she gets. Rinse and repeat for most nights, though she spends most of her Sundays with family.
