| Bio: | Character Name(s): Nell Nan Nicknames/Aliases: Nellie Gender: female Race: human/fae Actual Character Age: 19 DOB: March 21, 1987 Physical Description: Nell is just as short as her sister with a boyish frame. She normally keeps her hair short though does let it grow out. She is not as likely to dye her hair as her sister, but she has on occasion. Also very easy to mistake for a boy more often than not she won’t go out of her way to correct people who make the mistake. She has several tattoos like her sister does however none of the tattoos are identical. The two are completely identical outside of changes that they have each made to themselves (ie hair/tattoos) Distinguishing marks: Both twins have tattoos all over their arms. They are in different places but Blake’s most noticeable is a design on her elbow. Nell has one on her inner wrist. PB: (Check the used PB list first) Tegan and Sara Quin Birth Location: New York, New York Personality: Nell is the opposite of Blake in nearly every way. A quiet girl Blake has often commented that she’s as smooth as good liquor. With Blake as the fighter Nell is the healer. Not to say she has any skill towards that but she takes care of her sister and is the one that makes sure Blake does not kill herself. She does not care about making enemies and never truly has friends, instead preferring to string people along until she no longer needs them. However she seems like a perfectly nice girl whose politeness balances out Blake’s brash behavior. Nell for the most part is in control of her emotions but she has a very hard time expressing them. She has a tendency to let it just build and build unlike Blake who just always lets it out. When it is possible she is extremely clean and is much more interested in learning than her sister is. She likes to have control of any given situation and when she can not she has a tendency to freak out. However she can easily take control of most situations unless there is something stopping her (ie Blake). Without Nell Blake would not have survived. The other girl can lie as easy as she can breathe and con her way out of just about anything. She is a stable force that Blake could never find. However while Blake is physically dependant on Nell, Nell is much more mentally dependant on Blake. She has no idea how so would get along without her sister and has gone as far as to ruin things without her sister knowing it. Blake on the other hand is easily parted from her sister and while she’s unstable she can rely on other people in a way her sister cannot. Since Destiny’s death and her stint in rehab however she has been increasingly clingy to her sister, which Nell does not seem to mind. Personal Background: (Indepth backgrounds are a must, at least four - five paragraphs) Blake and Nell were born to a sixteen year old Tracey Meredith Nan on March 21. They were born a month early in the bathtub as her mother had yet to tell her own mother that she just happened to be pregnant. All she remembered about the boy who could have possibly been the father was blonde hair, which was probably because she had been rather drunk. The babies had been small and the high school sophomore had been quite good at hiding it over the progressing months. Her grandmother walked in on the scene and called the hospital where Blake was put on special watch having almost died within her first 24 hours of life while Nell seemed to be perfectly healthy. Miraculously Blake survived and quickly caught up to her sister. Though Blake was at first on the one in danger it was quickly found that Nell had a heart defect that needed to be operated on immediately. She barely survived the surgery but both twins recovered surprisingly well by the medical staffs opinion. The medical bills, however, forced a heavy strain on the Nan family. To cope with this Tracey, a cheerleader, dropped out of school and got a housekeeping job to help pay for the bills. Their childhood was a meager one at best. Christmas was always a depressing time of year especially once she started going to school as there was never enough money for presents let alone decorations. Their family tried and while their mother was never really around she loved them and so did their Grandnan Nan. It was a loving home but no one was ever really around because of the lack of money. The twins from the start seemed to be two sides of the same coin. Blake was loud and messy where Nell was quiet and neat. The two were inseparable and would rarely play with other children which caused Grandnan Nan to worry. However the twins seemed perfectly content with just having each other while they toddled around. Other children did not find their way into the twin’s world. That changed when the two started school. Naturally friendlier than her sister, Blake quickly made friends and left her sister behind. Nell did not take well to this and soon the other children began to complain about Blake. Often times it was odd things and normally Nell would be around when they happened. Not only that but more than one child complained that when Blake touched them it made them see monsters. The teachers had no idea what to do about this and simply assumed that Blake was intimidating the other students. Blake openly denied all of these and the only person who would listen with a sympathetic ear was Nell. Soon her sister was labeled a troublemaker and by the time they headed to middle school Blake acted like one. Tracey tried to be a mother for the two of them but she had never been the motherly type to begin with. She favored Nell over Blake so blatantly that Grandnan Nan often chastised her for it, only to be ignored. This served to polarize Blake against her mother and the two would get into screaming matches that would cause fellow people in the apartment complex to call the cops on them more than once. Nell would often just stand in the background and comfort Blake afterward. Nell never wanted more of her mother’s attention, especially when it seemed to mean so much to Blake. What Nell did not know is that often times when she was not around, say out grocery shopping with her grandmother, Tracey’s temper would get the worst of her and Blake would always get the brunt of it. While Tracey never beat Blake viciously she would hit her when she just could not take the girl’s sass and Nell would always hear how Blake had fallen. Nell did not find out till much later when Blake was high that it was their mother that caused those marks that would occasionally show up. It often got worse and Blake took to staying out late. Nell would often go with her but never took up the habits that her sister started to, such as smoking. Often if they came to any sort of party environment Nell would be off in the corner nursing a diet coke and making sure Blake did not do anything too foolish. A month after their fifteenth birthday Nell woke up to find that Blake had run away. Nell had a fit, tearing the house apart looking for her sister. Blake did not go to school and when she had not returned for several days Nell followed after her. The two found each other in an abandoned building some weeks later that Blake had been squatting in. It was filthy and drafty but there were other people around. Of course, Nell had her suspicions about these people. In the few short weeks that Nell had left her sister the ever friendly Blake had managed to align herself with a group of musicians that ‘lived’ there. Nell was accepted only because she was Blake’s sister though most of the time the others were too drunk or high to tell them apart. Except for the fact that Blake had apparently accepted this as her way of life, leaving Nell as the one who became the mother of the group purely out of concern for her sister’s wellbeing. She resented the roll but there was not anything she could do because Blake refused to listen to her. The group was a band called The Lost Horizon. Blake had always had a good voice and took over the microphone as their lead singer had left. The guitar was played by a tall boy named Bryan and the bass was played by his cousin Christopher. But it was the drummer that Nell despised more than anyone. She was a pretty blonde heroin addict named Destiny. A heroin addict that Blake was already smitten with by the time Nell had found her. It was through the band that Blake and Nell got their nicknames, Blaine and Nellie. Blaine was the raspy singer that would dominate the stage and Nellie was the girl who made sure none of them died from an overdose. No matter how she tried there was no way that Nell could drag Blake away from the life of music and drugs. She refused to even drink, constantly worried that if she were less than aware Blake would accidentally OD. Nell tried to stop her from taking them in the first place but Blake now listened to Destiny instead and it made Nell sick. Blake on the other hand thrived on this lifestyle. The excitement and rush of it all made her feel like she was alive and someone very different than the girl whose mother used to yell at her for causing trouble. Now she was trouble and there was nothing their mother could do about it. Not only that but she was in love. She in head over her heels love with Destiny and was oblivious to how much her sister despised her. Things went well enough. The band would sometimes get gigs and people liked Blake’s voice. So they got some money that way. When that was not enough the twins got pretty good at stealing. The fact that most of the money was going towards drugs and not food did not pass by Nell and she always made sure that she had a stash of money to buy food with for her and Blake when there was not enough in the ‘food pot’. She still keeps a stash, paranoid that they will run out and starve. They were seventeen, almost eighteen when the night Nell had unconsciously been hoping for happened. Nell woke up to Blake screaming. She ran to her sister’s side to find her shaking Destiny’s limp form. The girl had finally injected herself with too much and keeled off. While she had no sympathy for Destiny her heart broke for her sister and she dragged her out only to get hit by her sister. Blake had always been the stronger one and Nell was knocked off of her feet. Blake stood in shock at what she had done and Nell got up shakily and called 911 to get someone to take the body. Blake fell to the floor and just stared out into space. Knowing they had to get out of there, Nell grabbed hold of her twin and dragged her out. With her sister not responding to anything Nell had to think fast. She remembered an old woman passing her a card once at a soup kitchen, telling her that she should really get Blake some help. It was still tucked in her empty wallet and Nell dragged her sister physically to the rehab center that’s address was given. She begged them to take Blake and promised that she would get the money to pay for it and she did. Before Blake knew it she had been shoved into a rehab clinic. She knew there was no way that they could pay for it and Nell would never tell her or anyone else how she managed to get the money to get her sister clean. Blake was there for six months and while she was there something odd happened. One of the social workers seemed particularly interested in her and her sister. He seemed to notice that people seemed naturally attracted to Blake where things just seemed to change around Nell whenever she visited. Other patients claimed that Blake had some sort of drug with her though she always tested clean. On the day of Blake’s release he slipped a card to Nell and the two of them met with him later that week, to find out just exactly what they were. It was just a theory, but somehow they had stumbled upon someone else like them. A pixie actually, but he knew what they were, or at least part of what they were. At least that was what he told them when they met at a small café. Things seemed to fall into place as he explained them, Blake eagerly listening in. Nell was more suspicious but eventually she was swayed to this side of thinking. The man was a scout and was telling them of a school they could go to that would help them sort out exactly what they were. The two of them were 19, almost 20 now. They had no job skills, they had no home, and with their record it was more likely they would be sent to jail than anything else. The worst that could happen is they would be sent away. And if they went it was a chance to get back up on their feet. It seemed like a good enough idea to the both of them.
