-- PERSONALITY !

-- LOYAL: In her mind, her friends come first. She’d drop anything if her mother was in need, and she would do the same thing if it was one of her closer friends. So, they’re over the other side of the country on holiday and have an accident? No big deal! Ruth is on the first plane without even stopping to pack, and will put any plans she had on hold for the sake of others. It isn’t really a conscious thing, it just seems to be a reflex that if her friends need protecting, she has to try. Most of the time she can’t do anything, and she realises that, but that wouldn’t stop her. She is a lot braver when it comes to her friends, or people she feels the need to protect, than she is when it comes to herself.

-- FRIENDLY: Her friends bring out a wilder part of her. When on her own, she is quite happy just to sit by the water and read, losing herself in the words; becoming the characters. When she is with others, she will talk more, jump around, be louder than you would expect – even when she is unhappy, being around them just calls for a more out there attitude. Beware, if you approach her at any time, there is a good chance that you will be cuddled. She’s a very touchy feely person, and having grown up with a very touchy feely group of friends, she takes great pleasure in laying on people, laying next to people, hugging others, or draping herself over anyone that she knows. She will almost never kiss, however, and this touchy feely nature of hers can never be taken to mean she is flirtatious. She is never flirtatious.

—GUARDED: When it comes to guys, she is rather disinterested. She absolutely adores having them as friends, as she finds them generally a lot less complicated than girls, but she has never had romantic feelings for one, and dreads the day that she does. In all the books she’s read, and the movies she’s seen, relationships just make everything so much more complicated. Sure, they’re supposed to be wonderful, but you can have wonderful things with friends, so why bother? Besides, she isn’t quite sure that she could trust someone enough to be able to open up to them in a relationship, so that wouldn’t go down so well. As it is now, she is able to hide all of her negative emotions, while making it seem she has no negative emotions to hide. While this is a good thing, her inability to show her true emotions also means that she sometimes becomes awkward when she knows she is supposed to be upset about something, but is not upset enough to show that she is. Pretending to care really is difficult.


-- LOVES: Swimming, The water in general, Alone time, Being with her friends, Spending time with her mother, Animals, Having someone depend on her, Limes, Skittles, Simplicity, Rain, Movies, Traditions, Christmas, The Ferris Wheel, Old-style video games,
-- HATES: Being without her friends for too long, Terribly bright sun, Materialism, Judgmental people, The concept of love at first sight, Big sunglasses, Dresses, People incapable of having a conversation without flirting, Being cooped up indoors for too long, Sleeping in too late, The constant forcing of feminine things upon her

-- HISTORY !

Ruth Clarke was an accident. There is really nothing else to say on the topic. It isn’t to be mean; it’s just the honest truth. I mean, what sort of sixteen-year-old plans to have a child? None I’d wager. Both her parents were just sixteen when they found out they were going to have a child. Now, children raising children is never really a good position to be in. It turned the Clarke home upside down. Not to mention the family of the father (who clearly had never heard of a condom). Needles to say the rich Bostonians were not impressed. They should get married. That was the plan. You have a child, so you get married. The young pregnant Clarke, mostly to annoy her parents, decided that no. Single mothers have children all the time. She was going to raise her child her own way.

After many tears, much yelling (and twenty completely hellish hours of labour), Ruth’s mother packed up her things and her daughter, travelling from Boston to the quaint little town of Capeside. Which is where Ruth has lived most of her life. It’s due to the ‘fly by night’ way her mother left that Ruth barely speaks to her grandparents. Though she is always suggesting to her mother that perhaps it is time they see them. To which her mother usually changes the subject. The stubborn bag.

Ruth’s life in Capeside has been relatively cheery. She and her mother are so close, it often feels a tad like it is “them against the world.” Which has been somewhat true. With her mother playing father, mother and best friend, there was never much room for other people in Ruth’s life. Except for a small group. When her mother moved to the town, she found herself making friends with a tight knit group of people, who all had kids of their own. These children soon became Ruth’s best friends, them all forming their own little family.
