-- PERSONALITY !

-- OUTGOING/SOCIAL: Isla is by far the kind of girl who can easily start a conversation with a stranger and eventually turn that stranger into a friend. She has a bubbly kind of personality with a certain air of confidence that just tends to draw people in toward her. It's not a bad trait, in the least bit, to have. It's safe to say that she's quite the little social butterfly and to give her a permanent clique of friends wouldn't be that easy. She tends to float around from person to person getting to know each and every one, finding at least a few things in common with each person she meets. She feels you can never have too many friends or acquaintances - as you never know when you might need their help.

-- FUN-LOVING: You know how you meet that one person who gets bored quite easily? That person isn't Isla. She's very fun-loving which often times leads to spontaneity - which then leads to adventure. She is constantly finding new ways to entertain herself whether they be hobbies, exploring, or just listening to music and dancing around her apartment. Isla is the type of person who tends to have fun no matter what they are doing and a lot of that has to do with her rather optimistic outlook on life. She never lets herself get bored so there is rarely anything for her to complain about - and when she does, she must be out of her mind bored and has used up all of her resources. This is when she'll normally call on friends to get her through.

-- FLIRTATIOUS: Ah, yes. The art of seduction and flirtation. It's truly an art that all girls need to master, but Isla has seemed to have gotten it down pat. She's well versed in manipulating her words and getting her way through means of batting her eyelashes. She's not the type of flirt who is fake and laughs at every single un-funny joke you lay out on the table, though. She tends to be a little more natural and subtle with her advances to the point that unless you're really, really noticing - or she wants it to be very obvious, you'll probably miss her flirtatious undertones. She doesn't like to throw herself out there for the opposite sex in the kind of "hanging all over them" way - but she will flirt.

-- A BIT NERDY: A lot of people claim this, but the truth is that she really is. While she may not look it on the outside, Isla is actually an avid World of Warcraft player and a very, very big fan of Star Wars. Video games tend to be a forte of hers, and so are comic books. In fact, she collects them. It doesn't stop there. Isla also has the school smarts to back up her "geek" smarts. She held a 4.0 all through high school and is currently studying under the pre-med curriculum at the University here in Capeside at the moment - hitting deans list the entire time she's been enrolled. While she can tell you numerous chemistry and biology facts, Isla is also ridiculously good at pop culture trivia. In fact, she's a useless fountain of facts stemming from Britney Spears' breakdown to Lady Gaga's "penis" rumors.

-- OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE: No, she doesn't belong on that show "Obsessed", but she does tend to have some quirks that set her apart from the rest of the world. For instance, she needs things to be completely straight and in order. The clothing in her closet tends to be arranged by length and, if she's feeling very ambitious, by color. Fortunately a lot of her wardrobe is variations of blacks, whites, and grays. While she's not a total germaphobe, she is known to carry a few little bottles of hand sanitizers in her purse at all times and from time to time, slather it on her hands - especially if she's been in any seedy or questionable places such as parties on the weekends.

-- BOTTLES IT UP Isla isn't quick to anger or jealous but that doesn't mean that she doesn't get angry or green with envy over things. In fact, she does, but she will rarely bring it up or show it outwardly. The same goes for stress. Instead, Isla quietly bottles it all up inside of her which isn't necessarily the most intelligent thing to do. She lets everything, all of her feelings and emotions, pile up into an overwelming bottle inside of her until it's near overflowing. Then it takes one barely anything miniscule thing to send her over the edge and freak out. Fortunately she's learned the wonders of journaling and letting it all out - even if she's the only one who will ever see it.

-- A PUSHOVER She's a people pleaser. While she will punch a guy in the face for putting unwanted advances on her, Isla really does like to make people happy and will do anything to make that happen. Unfortunately she can't say no when people ask her for favors. She tends to wear herself thin when it comes to these kinds of things. Other people's happiness is constantly put before her own in a selfless effort to try to be as helpful and friendly as possible. This often adds to the bottled up stress that sends her over the edge up there. Lately she's noticed, since her journaling, that this is one of the main causes of the stress in her life so she's slowly trying to learn to say no. Old habits die hard, though.

-- HAS ANXIETY She probably sounds like a nutcase. One of the most annoying parts of her that Isla absolutely could do without is her anxiety. She's been prone to severe anxiety attacks that leave her feeling like she's about to die due to not being able to catch her breath and the panic that ensues when that happens. While it doesn't happen that often, when it does it's huge. She currently isn't on any kind of medication simply because it's not an all the time kind of thing. It usually only happens when she's on a time crunch. It usually starts off with a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach. Again, another connection to the bottling up of emotions.

-- PERFECTIONIST Whether it's a result of her obsessive compulsive tendencies or her obsessive compulsive tendencies are a result of her perfectionist attitude, it's there and it causes problems. She tends to be ridiculously organized in her own way. For instance, her desk is in top order at all times as well as her room. It doesn't stop there, though. She is that kind of person who will freak out if they get less than a B on any kind of course work (and if you notice, a lot her traits run into one another because this is one of those things that cause her anxiety). It extends to her appearance as well. At one time, Isla did indeed have an eating disorder due to the need to have more control over her life. While she's indeed gotten over that, there is habit of relapse once in a while when she feels like she doesn't have control.

-- LOVES: Art, museums, planetariums, World of Warcraft, Star Wars, Marvel Comics, dancing, singing off key (though she can actually sing, believe it or not!), school, vegetarian/vegan lifestyles despite her loving bacon entirely too much to attempt those, black and white movies, her kitten Yoda, meeting new people, adventures, fashion, having things neat and clean.

-- HATES: Feeling depressed, being bored, fake people, obnoxious girls, super hot days, super cold days, getting anything less than a B on course work, animal abuse, ignorance, burning her tongue on coffee/tea, tripping or falling in front of people, being a clumsy mess altogether, her anxiety.

-- HISTORY !

Isla Lauren Avett was born on August 9th, 1990 in Fairview, Massachusetts to one Henry Avett and Lillian Rose-Avett. She was the last of three children and the only girl – a factor that will shape her entire personality in the future. Her father is a pediatrician while her mother works as a veterinarian in the small town she grew up in as well as doing a lot of charity work with the local humane society. Her brothers, Luka and Harlow, spent most of their time doing what most other teenage boys do: getting into trouble. Isla was never far from their heels, either.

While the family of five had enough money to live more than a cozy life, Henry and Lillian never exceeded a modest middle class lifestyle. Most of their money went into funding for their kids futures. As a result, Isla and her brothers grew up with their parents instilling responsibility and other such words of wisdom into them and they lived like normal children. Now, with her two older brothers, Isla from the start had to fend for herself. She was constantly the guinea pig – having to test out experiments and inventions that the boys were endlessly making up. She learned from a young age how to hold her own when it came to rough housing. It was something that would eventually come in handy in her older years when she finally started to act less like a tom boy and more so like a girl. For that time being, though, Isla was perfectly content wrestling her brothers, climbing trees, and wearing scrapes and bruises on her legs like proud little battle wounds.

Then high school happened. Over the course of a summer, Isla went from flat chested, scrawny tom boy to a young woman – and none of the boys in the neighborhood (including her brother’s friends – to their dismay) had overlooked it. Despite her transformation, though, Isla still remained her down to earth and somewhat boyish self. Hell, all of her friends were her brother’s friends. What else could she do? There came a time, though, that she actually began to hang out with girls sometime during her freshman year. Make up techniques were learned, hair tricks were taught, and fashion tips were given. By Isla’s sophomore year of high school, she was girly (though now hid her comic books, passion for video games, and other such things) and being asked to prom by one of her older brother’s friends – now all seniors. She gladly accepted. Things were going well until the after party at another friends house. The boy drank a little too much and decided to get a little too touchy feely with Isla. When he wouldn’t take no for an answer, Isla did what she thought any other self respecting girl would do. Punched his square in the face – something she can now owe directly to her brothers.

She learned quickly to pick and choose her suitors based on reputation and as a result, didn’t really date guys that she went to high school with. Rather, she dated from other schools and never older than herself after that. She graduated top of her class though missing valedictorian and such by a few percentages – though it didn’t stop her from getting into school on a full ride scholarship. She’s currently in her sophomore year in the pre-medical program and anticipates becoming a surgeon of some sort in the future. For now, though, she’s just living life and having fun.

-- SAMPLE !

Beep! Beep! Beep! There truly is nothing worse than when you're in the middle of a relatively good dream and your alarm clock just happens to decide it’s time to wake up. A soft groan could be heard from underneath a mound of black and white floral blankets as they began to peel back and reveal brunette hair. An arm soon poked out as she violently slammed the snooze button. If there was one thing Isla wasn’t, it was a morning person – especially not today. She had spent the good majority of her night and into the early hours of the morning rushing through some organic chemistry and then playing a few levels of Dead Space. So it was her fault that she was so tired, so what? Big deal? She’d still find something else to blame it on. Was it daylight savings time already? Spring forward? She lost an hour of sleep. That’s what she was going to blame it on. No one could stop her.

She laid there for a moment, turning onto her back and throwing her arm over her eyes to keep out any pesky sunlight that might be coming in through her bedroom window. She was going to stay in bed for as long as she possibly could. Just as she was starting to get comfortable again, that annoying buzzing started once more. Her arm limply fell on the alarm clock to silence it before she finally opened her sleepy eyes and stared up at the ceiling. Her hand came from the snooze button to feeling around blindly on her nightstand for her blackberry. Once it was in her grip, she held it up over her face to look at the time. 9:45 AM – that was enough to make her nearly leap out of bed. Isla had class in fifteen minutes.

Within seconds, Isla was out of bed and fumbling around her room for any kind of clothing that would look alright together – not even caring, really, if it was clean or not (and that’s a hard thing to do when you’re not that kind of person). She yanked on a pair of skinny jeans that she had shed off of her body before bed last night, and rummaged through her drawers for a moment before grabbing white v-neck with some kind of writing sprawled across the front. Her bag was yanked from the post of her bed as she slipped her feet into the black flats that laid right on the floor below it. Her hand was brushed quickly through her hair to tousle it out of it’s sleepy mess (not that it helped) and headed out of her bedroom and towards the front door of her apartment. She grabbed a granola bar that was sitting on the counter and the cropped leather jacket she usually wore from it’s hanging place on the island stool before making her way out of the door. Checking her blackberry, she had ten whole minutes to get from her apartment to campus, into that building and in her seat. She took a deep breath as she unlocked her bicycle lock and shoved it in her bag. She was going to have to pedal like a demon and hopefully not have to stop for anyone – because she couldn’t afford to.
