-- PERSONALITY !

-- FICKLE: Maybe it’s just a flare for drama, but Lyn is volatile like the unstable Ring of Fire volcanoes. One thing is steady on her mind and that’s writing, but everything else in her life tends to change. Constantly. While she can be extremely determined when it comes to her career, at her age, Lyn is stuck in that stage of a person’s life where they refuse to make up their minds and are drifting through things unmoored. She has grown frustrated with the one thing she can cling to and she seems to get bored easily with the remaining aspects of her life. For some reason she can’t seem to hold on even to those things Lyn is completely aware are undeniably good for her. It’s a passive form of self destruction, although she can’t quite see that it’s her who sabotages anything that goes well in her life. And if work doesn’t go well, then she’s got nothing really. That strange pattern she has developed of going after what she can’t have and turning her back on what she should be focusing on is holding her back.
—SELF-CENTERED: Lyn feels entitled to certain things. Attention, for example, is one of them, seeing as she barely got any at home. Ever since discovering how her looks and her sexuality could get that for her, as well as a bunch of other things, Lyn has used it to bury all of her insecurities whenever they may arise. She avoids deep attachments and thrives on being independent; however, she is needier than she lets on. She craves acceptance, comfort and affection even if she has trouble giving them in return. Lyn constantly fails to empathize with the people closest to her; she demands certain things and she focuses on her needs, but she is mostly always unwilling to let her own barriers down, to cater someone to else’s desires or to take their concerns and fears seriously. It’s not intentional. Never intentional. She doesn’t mean to harm people, but her actions ultimately contradict her intentions every time.
-- OUTGOING: Lyn has always been a very spirited girl. She’s never shy, quite shameless and oozes confidence. She has a sense of humor and can talk you ear out about any topic. There isn’t a type of person Lyn won’t start a conversation with, she’ll treat everybody the same and be kind and friendly toward them. Especially men. For some reason, Lyn never really got along with other girls. Just a couple of semi close girlfriends at different stages of her life. She’s one to hang out with a different group of people every certain period of time while never exactly developing a strong connection with either of its members. Despite, how extroverted, Lynette doesn’t have any best friends. Still, the impression she leaves upon people is that she is sweet and funny; and she is, but most of them will hardly get past that side of her.

-- LOVES: what she can’t have, attention, change, a party, writing, seducing men, logan ellis, cats, talking, drinking.
-- HATES: her mother, proofreading, her lack of success, pressure, cleaning, labels, routines, schedules, criticism, making an effort.

-- HISTORY !

Lyn’s father left when she was very young and she mostly remembers her mother as a depressed, empty shell of a person Lyn had no desire to be like. Despite being an only child and having all of her mother’s love to herself, Lynette avoided spending any time at home if she could help it, often sleeping over at a friend’s house even on school nights, hanging out out on the streets after school, either with friends or alone at the park, just her and her notebook, until it got pretty dark. Her mother rarely minded. The girls had no interest in keeping each other company and Lynette, instead of resenting the woman, chose to finish high school as soon as possible and move on to start her life away from the dullness and melancholy of her home life. She probably could have done something all those years to try to connect with her mother, help her, but to Lynette, the woman was the one who needed to take care of her daughter and not the other way around, and if she wasn’t to step up, Lynette was certainly not going to ask for attention. Not directly anyway. But giving up on the matter, she entered the best years of her life when she was finally in a place which could hand her her dreams on a platter and where she could focus on her future in literary world. The people around her had a conversation in them and shared the same interests. She among others like her. It was both intoxicating and slightly nerve-wracking for her, not that she would let it show it. But she was no longer a fish out of the water like she’d been in high school and, while she was good at what she did, the pressure was definitely palpable.

Since her early teens, Lynette had been attracting attention and she had been quick to learn how to use that attention to her advantage. She had had an active sex life since adolescence and it became like a favorite way to make sure she was both noticed and appreciated, even if for the wrong reasons. Along came a guy who was not at all like the boys she used to ride in cars with. He was the type of guy you keep in the friends zone; one of those good guys nobody takes. Never one to pass on the chance of meeting new people, an outgoing and friendly person like Lynette took a shining to Logan Ellis and decided his awkwardness was the cutest thing to ever pose such an amusing challenge. It was weird how she found herself more and more drawn to him as their relationship progressed and one day she just felt like kissing him. And she did. And he reciprocated, just as she knew he would. Her longest relationship to date has been with Logan. And she has never felt more at ease or more secure in her life. They had a healthy, fun thing going. He made her laugh. She got to see the bright, sexy side of Logan that others could never get to. She inspired him to drop that scientific bullshit and pursue other fields. He was everything one could ask for in a guy. And it didn’t mean her volatile sex life was limited just to him while they were together. Lyn can’t explain it, but while she had everything with him, both sexually and emotionally, she couldn’t stop herself from jumping into bed with one of her teachers and she liked to tell herself that it was all just for the fun of it. Because why take things so seriously when one is still so young? In fact, why even stay just with one guy, like humans are supposed to be monogamous? Of course, Lyn never felt the need to discuss this with her steady boyfriend of four years. And then he proposed. Lynette didn’t take this well. Was he insane? Why ruin a perfectly good, non committed relationship with marriage? Wasn’t he having fun? Lynette cracked. She told him there was someone else. There was no fixing this after that. They parted ways.

For a while, all Lyn heard about Ellis was through mutual acquaintances. She wouldn’t see him until a while later, after she was dumped by her professor. She hadn’t exactly been in love with him, but the break up stung and she needed to talk. There was no one she’d been able to talk to better than Ellis. They may have slept together too. And after that, they kept in irregular touch. A bad date? Lyn knows she can call him. Too much to drink? He’ll understand. That sort of thing. Her mind just always ends up wandering back to him somehow. And Lyn is sorry for the way things ended, even if she’d never quite apologized to him during any of their phone calls or casual encounters.

Lately, Lyn is finding herself more than a little frustrated with her life. The magazine she was writing for went bankrupt during the recession. She had to resort to working as a proofreader for a publishing house in hopes that she could use the contacts to finally get her stupid novel published. Problem is, she sort of got involved with her boss. While this may seem like a great way to get published, their illicit relationship has been going on for about a year (they have moved in together and it’s quite serious) and the guy keeps raising arguments that prevent the novel from actually seeing the light of day. After a huge fight and the establishment of ultimatums from both parts, Lyn decided she needed some time to herself and of course that entailed paying Logan a visit. Because he always makes her feel better. Her boyfriend keeps annoyingly calling her and she refuses to answer. Once more, it doesn’t even cross her mind that Ellis might appreciate learning of the fact that she’s in a relationship.
