Isabella McKinney
Break away from everybody
Break away from everything
If you can't stand the way this place is
Take yourself to higher places
At night I feel like a vampire
It's not right but I just can't give it up
I'll try to get myself higher
Let's go we're gonna light it up

Abilities: Bella has the psychic ability of precognition. She usually has them during dreams, but ever so often they will pop up un-expectantly while she's awake. When she has these visions, they give her a very un-bearable head ache and at times nose bleeds.
Personality:Bella is very intelligent and sophisticated, she had inherited these traits from her adoptive mother. Bella has a habit of hiding her feelings and not letting it out for others to see. She had to deal with a lot of put downs as she grew up and her self-esteem hasn't been so great, It seemed no matter what she did, or how much she tried- it just wasn't good enough to get the attention she longed for.
Because she craves attention so much, Bella is very eager to please and really hates to disappoint anyone relying on her. She cannot stand the fact of people not liking her, so she tries her best to be likable. She can also be very naive and can very easily be manipulated and used.
She enjoys her job and it is one thing that she can use to try and escape the real world. It makes her feel of somewhat of importance. Deep down, she wants to be like the creatures that she investigates, especially vampires- they are her passion. Bella is also a workaholic, and can become very obsessed with a job she is working on. So much so, that she will put herself in harms way in order to get her story.

Bio:
Bella never knew her real parents, all she knew was that they were too young to take care of her and gave her up. Bella spent the first five years of her life growing up in the orphanage, that was until the McKinney's walked through the door.
Bella was shy and timid at first, but soon warmed up to the couple.
They seemed nice and was eager to have Bella in their family, as she was. It wasn't long before Bella's bags were packed and she was sent home to live with the McKinney's
The first couple of months went well, the three of them spent time together like a family. However, as the months past; Bella began to get less and less attention from both her mother and father. They lived very busy lives. Her mother was a lawyer and her father was a cop, so it seemed that they were rarely home while Bella was left with a baby sitter. Soon Bella became lonely and tried to gain her adoptive parents affection as often as she could get it.
When Bella was ten she began to have nightmares. She would scream out in the night, but instead of being comforted. She was told to go back to sleep. Her parents thought that the girl faked the dreams to get attention. It was a good thought, but the dreams were anything but fake. Bella soon found that out after watching the news and saw a person had died. What made it eerie, was that she had seen that person die in that same fashion in a dream only days before. She tried to tell her parents, but they just shrugged it off.
As she grew older, Bella began to become interested in the supernatural- most typically vampires. She would read countless books and was amazed. It was no wonder once she graduated from college with a degree of journalism, that she decided to go into paranormal investigation.
Of course her parents looked down on it. Bella didn't care, they never really praised her for anything. The girl was fed up to the point to where she didn't care what those two people thought. Where as before she wanted their affection, now she just wanted to get away, and that she did.
RP Sample:
((Hope it's okay to use a sample from a different board))
Christy smiled brightly as the moving men moved in the final item into the dining room. This wasn't just any item; it was jukebox, and it was filled with all kinds of music. The blond thanked the moving men and then went to work on the table decor. Christy grinned to herself as the bells on the door chimed. She will be hearing that sound a lot pretty soon.
The country girl was overjoyed, tomorrow she will be opening her new restaurant to the public. Of course she feared what if no one showed up, well other than friends and family. Would anyone even want to give the country restaurant a chance. Christy wondered if other restaurants owners had the same fear upon grand opening.
The young girl shook it off an went on to forming the napkins pretty little pink fans.
Christy sighed, the place seemed to quiet. Deep down she wished she would have asked for help, but she didn't want to disturb anyone and figured it would give her time to get acquainted with her new business. The blond glanced over at the jukebox and smiled.
-Wouldn't hurt to test it out- Christy thought as she moved from her seat and head towards the jukebox. It only took her a few moments to find what she was looking for. It was her new favorite song Outside My Window by Sarah Buxton. The song was one of those songs that just made her smile.
The country girl put placed a few quarters inside and made her selection. Soon the music began playing and almost immediately Christy was tapping her foot and singing along. No one was there but her so what would it matter. Besides the blond loved to sing and dance, so why not do it while making pretty fan like napkins.
