Look This Way
Eye Color:
Hannah has the most electric brown eyes. Her eyes are an almost caramel brown, often times. Although, taking on a darker depth when really examined. They often times, more than not, are a deep brown almost dark caramel. Her eyes sparkle in even the smallest hint of light and when she is sad turn very light. The darkness of her eyes speaks the volumes of her emotions light for very sad or mad times, and darker for when she is happy or relaxed. This can be very difficult when it comes to concealing how she feels since you can easily read her through her eyes. She had glasses that she wears when reading, since her eyesight, although very good, does not allow her to focus on things as quickly as the normal eye.
Hair Color and Style:
Annie's hair is a deep, dark brown styled in a delicate and natural but deep wave. Her hair stretches to a length of around the middle of her back, although when she was a few years younger, she tried to cut her hair to her shoulders, which didn't look all that bad, but she has always felt more comfortable with her long hair. She never bothers to straighten it, since it is naturally beautiful all on its own, and also very rarely uses any kind of hair product. The only thing she does to her hair is brush it, although she sometimes doesn't, and puts it up in a nice delicate ponytail, or pins it up into a different style. Her hair often has a soft highlight when seen in the sun, an almost lighter, or red color. Her hair has a natural wave, but also a natural highlight and shine to it that makes it look like it was done at a salon. Although she doesn't like to do her own hair, she spends a lot of time doing others, knowing that for most women, having their hair done is stress-relieving.
Build:
Annie is of a medium to tall height, not being overly tall or short in either case. She is skinny, with a light tone of muscle. She has long legs, and the perfect feet for high heels, although she doesn't wear them that often. Her skin tone accents her eyes and her hair extenuates to her beautiful features. She is very strong, although she doesn't look like it; She has to be, since she is a werewolf. As a wolf, she is much skinnier than some of the other female werewolves, but this allows her to be able to run faster. She is in a good shape, and has curves, which she doesn't mind at all. Her eyes in her opinion, is her best feature.
Skin Tone:
Annie has a very fair, porcelain type of skin tone. Often offset by the beauty that her skin takes when tanned - usually an almost golden look. Her skin always has looked naturally moisturized and has a natural glow to it. In summer, since she spends a lot of time outside, her skin has been known to get a medium to dark tan, although it goes away by winter. Her medium porcelain like skin is exactly how she likes it, and she never feels the need to tan, although it sometimes happens without her meaning to.
Height:
Five feet, eight inches.
Weight:
One Hundred Thirty Five. Annie doesn't care about her weight at all, and knows she is rather skinny. She doesn't believe in trying to lose or gain weight because of anyone else's standards and feels comfortable in her own 'skin'.
Piercings or Tattoos:
Ear Piercings only. She has these only to accessorize her outfits, as her mother always told her do since it brought out the life in the outfit and the glow in her eyes.
Clothing Style:
Annie can wear just about anything. Depending on how her mood is, she will dress up, or dress down. She usually wears the appropriate things depending on the circumstance, and doesn't like to over dress or under dress. Although she enjoys fashion and creates some of her own, she is very open-minded about it, and can wear absolutely anything as long as it is comfortable. She won't object to trying out a new style, and she always makes her outfits her own - never matching anyone. She knows how to accessorize and will do so accordingly.

Strengths:
Annie has an incredible willpower and knows when to stick up for herself, and her beliefs. Although she can be discouraged, she still fights for what she wants and what she believes in.
If you put Annie on an island by herself with few items, she could find a use for every single thing there. She is amazing at thinking of things in a different way and finding the good in a situation, circumstance, or finding the use for things, that others might not think of. She is extremely logical.
Annie would have to be one of the friendliest people you could ever meet, she is kind, she smiles all the time, and she knows how to resolve a situation and argument fairly, and kindly. Although she is horribly quiet, she will talk to anyone who speaks with her.
Annie, although quiet, has a very outgoing personality; Is she is throw into a situation she wouldn't usually be in, she will suck it up and enjoy herself and most of the time can be the life of the party.
Hannah is a very loyal girl and will stick by her friends at all costs and when confided in is so trustworthy that she would die before giving away the information that was confided into her.
Weaknesses:
Annie is very quiet. The only times she isn't are with her friends, family, or when she is at work - although that is to answer a customer's questions. The rest of the time she is awfully quiet, and is kind of awkward, in a social matter. She also can be horrible shy when it comes to someone she finds attractive, or that she likes. Although she isn't one for liking someone, since she is skeptical of love. She is very reserved with her emotions, and her thoughts.
Her confidence is good with all that she creates, and socially, for the most part, she can be outgoing when put into that situation, but otherwise she does not go out of her way to be known. She sometimes can lack the confidence she needs, while other times she will have too much of it. All of this depending on her mood.
Annie is horribly skeptical of love, and barely believes in it. She has never seen a good example of true love, and has found that more than not, people get hurt.
Annie is realistic when it comes to anything, and thinks logically. This is a weakness since sometimes she doesn't go with the moment. She tries to live in the moment, but when she is realistic, it is hard.
Annie is horribly stubborn - when she sticks up for something, she doesn't give up easily. When she wants something, she goes for it and she never thinks of giving up. She just doesn't back down.
Personality:
Hannah has spent most of her life witnessing the pain of heartbreak and when she was young, vowed to never let it happen to her, and that she wouldn't put herself in that situation. She never wanted to love, because it always ended in hurt and heartbreak. The thought of love scared her, and it forced her to begin believing that real true love, did not exist. Love was beautiful - in the movies and in books she would read. And it always fascinated her as well as horrified her, that people could create just beautiful images of love, but never actually make it for themselves. Little does Annie know, that even though she doesn't want love, it wants her. Love will work its magic in mysterious ways, as it always had for everyone, and Annie had read about this and watched it on movies plenty of times. She just doesn't believe that it could happen for her. Who knows, though? It always could, she just refuses to believe that.
Annie is a sweet and polite girl and she knows her place. She spends most of her time trying to enjoy life and doesn't spend time dwelling on things she cannot change. If you speak with her, even rudely, she will still be kind to you, even if she might be eager for you to go away. She can of course be annoyed, but she doesn't let people bother her that much. If someone can really get under her skin, then they must be pros at it. It is very hard to get under her skin. She is very light-tempered, meaning she doesn't get angry easily - even being a werewolf, she has never blown up in anyone's face. She doesn't argue, and if she is confronted, she just does what she thinks is appropriate and tries not to cause problems.
Annie is very creative and spends most of her time being so. She spends a lot of time on the beach and outside, usually by herself, and she does this just to think and relax. Annie is the type of girl who will try anything at least once just to know what it is like and if she likes it. When it comes to someone that she could possibly like, which is very very seldom seen, she will be quiet around them, and look at them often, she also will become speechless. Although, she is usually quiet, that isn't the case always. When she comes out of her shell, she will be the most outgoing girl around. She isn't afraid to go after something she wants, and she will be honest with someone when they need her to be, as she always is. If she doesn't like someone, then she will tell them. And if she does like them, she would tell them, but after a lot of back and forth talk with herself.

History:
A young, sweet girl, who was anything but normal. That was Hannah Annelle Parkes - anything but normal. She grew up knowing full well about the strange things that went on around her. Her mother was simple - and normal. But her father, was far from it. He was out every other night scouting. He was a werewolf. Annie grew up with all the stories about the protectors, but she knew they were real - her father was one. Her father was a nice, evenly-tempered man who always took care of her, Ada, and her mother.
When Annie and Ada were about six years old, their mother had gotten sick. In fact, her mother was beginning to age, and her father was not. This put a strain on many things, for all of them. They hadn't thought about Annie and Ada growing up and becoming werewolves. But, with their mother as a human, it was odd to see that she was growing older as her father remained young. Their mother had gotten sick with cancer and spent years fighting it until Annie and Ada were fourteen. Annie had began phasing shortly before Ada, and her mother was too weak to take care of her daughters as they went through the changes into werewolves. Annie finally began getting a control of it right as her mother died. She hadn't seen her mother in the last days of her life, except for the night she died. She sat holding her mother's hand until she passed away.
The whole ordeal was hard on Annie and Ada as well as their father. He gave up phasing, and almost on life. After about a year of complete misery for the three of them, he shaped up and began to take care of Annie and Ada - he taught them to go for what they wanted, and to be who they were regardless of all else. He helped both of them get control of themselves as werewolves, and as growing girls. Eventually as Annie stopped aging, she had developed a wall around her. She would only allow in her family, now only consisting of her father and Ada, and her friends, although there weren't many.
Annie had spent years of her youth with her mother. Her mother had taught her about being the best she could be, and taught her to find ways to better yourself by relaxation, and finding yourself beautiful. After her mother's death, Annie continued on practicing what her mother had taught her and because of it she learned to love herself, although she still remained very reserved and quiet. Annie had lived in La Push her whole life with a very small group of people who knew her. But as she aged, she learned that hiding from who you were wasn't the thing to do. So now, as she finally becomes who she was meant to be, she has started going outside of her small group of people and has found many friends. She started working at the thrift shop so she could take care of her father.
Annie had spent her whole life completely attached to her sister, always doing things together, even though they were completely different in most aspects. Annie was the quiet and sweet one, and Ada was more open and 'spunky' in a way. But, they were always open and nice to one another and their father - having to be the women of the household and take care of their father was a tag-team job. Annie spent most of her time at the store or off by herself, and Ada did who knows what. They both had their responsibilities, and they both had each other.
Annie had grown up knowing Jacob Black and the other La Push Pack. Often time, within the recent years, many of the town members and council member, who knew of the pack, would plead for her to join them and protect La Push. She refused. She cared about the town, but it wasn't her responsibility, and she was struggling with too many things of her own. Of course, she still had a few friends who were of the Pack, but if the subject of joining came up she would refuse and talk about something else. She never liked fighting, violence, or war. And that is what you got a lot of the time with them. Some of the members of the Pack were god people, but she could never see herself being a part of it, even if they needed her for her long years, and expertise.

RP Sample:
"Vala doesn't need to come. Her friend should be there. But, um, you can't get mad and you have to understand..." he said pausing and then reluctantly picking back up what he was saying. "She has to know. I won't lie to her, and she will want an explanation. I know she will keep my secret, but I have to tell her, Emil. I have to. There isn't any other way." he said hoping that Eli would understand or at least not be mad. He thought about this proposition and it was the only way. Kat would want, need, and damn well deserve and explanation and he would give it to her. She might think he was crazy at first, but eventually she would warm up to the idea and begin to understand and learn about it. This could jeopardize his life, but what was worth living for without her; nothing. He would rather be ripped to shreds by a pack of werewolves than live without her. And that was the simple truth. This would be problematic. But if Edward could do it for Bella, it would have to work for Kat and Eli. It just had to. And Eli would figure out a way without ever having to turn her. He wouldn't turn her, and that was that. This situation had its similarities to the Edward and Bella situation, but this time, the girl was going to live a happy and long life. And in this case, they were different personalities and Eli was practically a new-born and his control was no where near as good as Edward's was at the time he had been with Bella. He shook his head.
"If you weren't there for me, I'd kill you." he joked. He knew that Emil would always be his friend and be there to help him, even if they had a fight or anything similar. The thought that Emil would be there to stop Eli if he was slipping, reassured Eli of how safe the situation would be. Plus, this time Eli knew what to expect and wasn't caught off guard.
"You know Kat?!" he asked in complete surprise. "Yeah, that is right, Melanie is her friend's name. I forgot." He could feel Emil's emotions turning into worry again. "The Meadow! That is perfect. That would be the perfect place to do it and Kat would feel more comfortable since her friend would be close by. Although, you might have to distract Melanie, if you don't want her to know about us, because no matter what you say, I have to tell Kat." he said all of this as Emil sat listening. If Emil couldn't understand why he needed to tell Kat, then this conversation could get really complicated, but they would figure it out. They had never once been mad at each other, and Eli wasn't letting that start anytime soon.
His eyes widened to hear that his best friend was having the same problem and that they had both found their bloodsingers at unusual times. "It figures that we would end up having the same situation and find out bloodsingers around the same time. That is why we are best friends. We are too much alike." he said and then continued. "I know how it feels: you lose are your sense of control and it literally hurts. If you don't attack, it burns your head and chest like you are on fire. It is complicate; I know. And of course you don't want to hurt her and you are worried. You never have wanted to hurt anyone, plus; I am starting to think that having bloodsingers might be the vampires form of imprinting. I mean, think about it, Edward and Bella, Kat and me, and now you and some girl? That isn't coincidence." he said all of this smug like since he felt like he had figured something massive out. It was too much of a coincidence not to be true.
"I know it is hard to be too close to humans, but if you at least try to be Melanie's friend, then maybe it could help you both? I mean, if you feel like you both should be great friends then why not try it? You would have to be careful both about losing control and about not telling your secret. Although... if it came to it, you could tell her. It just depends on what kind of person she is, if it came to that. You would have to believe you completely trust her to do that." he said, thinking about how much he trusted Kat, and knew that she wouldn't do anything to jeopardize him or hurt him. "And it is understandable that you don't want to hurt her because you want to be her friend and why would you want to hurt you friend? You would have to do what you told me: hunt before you talk to her or see her in person and make sure you stay at a distance where you won't lose control." he said, suggesting what Emil suggested to him. It was the same thing, and Emil might as well follow his own advice or else he wouldn't have given it to Eli.
"Why? I mean, if it is a problem, then you could just stay where she can't see you. You can still help me from far off. You are a vampire and you have not only amazing speed, but you have incredible hearing so it would be the same up close or a little bit away." he said confident that it wouldn't be a problem. "But, why, exactly, do you say that?" he asked, very curious about this.

Strengths:
Annie has an incredible willpower and knows when to stick up for herself, and her beliefs. Although she can be discouraged, she still fights for what she wants and what she believes in.
If you put Annie on an island by herself with few items, she could find a use for every single thing there. She is amazing at thinking of things in a different way and finding the good in a situation, circumstance, or finding the use for things, that others might not think of. She is extremely logical.
Annie would have to be one of the friendliest people you could ever meet, she is kind, she smiles all the time, and she knows how to resolve a situation and argument fairly, and kindly. Although she is horribly quiet, she will talk to anyone who speaks with her.
Annie, although quiet, has a very outgoing personality; Is she is throw into a situation she wouldn't usually be in, she will suck it up and enjoy herself and most of the time can be the life of the party.
Hannah is a very loyal girl and will stick by her friends at all costs and when confided in is so trustworthy that she would die before giving away the information that was confided into her.
Weaknesses:
Annie is very quiet. The only times she isn't are with her friends, family, or when she is at work - although that is to answer a customer's questions. The rest of the time she is awfully quiet, and is kind of awkward, in a social matter. She also can be horrible shy when it comes to someone she finds attractive, or that she likes. Although she isn't one for liking someone, since she is skeptical of love. She is very reserved with her emotions, and her thoughts.
Her confidence is good with all that she creates, and socially, for the most part, she can be outgoing when put into that situation, but otherwise she does not go out of her way to be known. She sometimes can lack the confidence she needs, while other times she will have too much of it. All of this depending on her mood.
Annie is horribly skeptical of love, and barely believes in it. She has never seen a good example of true love, and has found that more than not, people get hurt.
Annie is realistic when it comes to anything, and thinks logically. This is a weakness since sometimes she doesn't go with the moment. She tries to live in the moment, but when she is realistic, it is hard.
Annie is horribly stubborn - when she sticks up for something, she doesn't give up easily. When she wants something, she goes for it and she never thinks of giving up. She just doesn't back down.
Personality:
Hannah has spent most of her life witnessing the pain of heartbreak and when she was young, vowed to never let it happen to her, and that she wouldn't put herself in that situation. She never wanted to love, because it always ended in hurt and heartbreak. The thought of love scared her, and it forced her to begin believing that real true love, did not exist. Love was beautiful - in the movies and in books she would read. And it always fascinated her as well as horrified her, that people could create just beautiful images of love, but never actually make it for themselves. Little does Annie know, that even though she doesn't want love, it wants her. Love will work its magic in mysterious ways, as it always had for everyone, and Annie had read about this and watched it on movies plenty of times. She just doesn't believe that it could happen for her. Who knows, though? It always could, she just refuses to believe that.
Annie is a sweet and polite girl and she knows her place. She spends most of her time trying to enjoy life and doesn't spend time dwelling on things she cannot change. If you speak with her, even rudely, she will still be kind to you, even if she might be eager for you to go away. She can of course be annoyed, but she doesn't let people bother her that much. If someone can really get under her skin, then they must be pros at it. It is very hard to get under her skin. She is very light-tempered, meaning she doesn't get angry easily - even being a werewolf, she has never blown up in anyone's face. She doesn't argue, and if she is confronted, she just does what she thinks is appropriate and tries not to cause problems.
Annie is very creative and spends most of her time being so. She spends a lot of time on the beach and outside, usually by herself, and she does this just to think and relax. Annie is the type of girl who will try anything at least once just to know what it is like and if she likes it. When it comes to someone that she could possibly like, which is very very seldom seen, she will be quiet around them, and look at them often, she also will become speechless. Although, she is usually quiet, that isn't the case always. When she comes out of her shell, she will be the most outgoing girl around. She isn't afraid to go after something she wants, and she will be honest with someone when they need her to be, as she always is. If she doesn't like someone, then she will tell them. And if she does like them, she would tell them, but after a lot of back and forth talk with herself.

History:
A young, sweet girl, who was anything but normal. That was Hannah Annelle Parkes - anything but normal. She grew up knowing full well about the strange things that went on around her. Her mother was simple - and normal. But her father, was far from it. He was out every other night scouting. He was a werewolf. Annie grew up with all the stories about the protectors, but she knew they were real - her father was one. Her father was a nice, evenly-tempered man who always took care of her, Ada, and her mother.
When Annie and Ada were about six years old, their mother had gotten sick. In fact, her mother was beginning to age, and her father was not. This put a strain on many things, for all of them. They hadn't thought about Annie and Ada growing up and becoming werewolves. But, with their mother as a human, it was odd to see that she was growing older as her father remained young. Their mother had gotten sick with cancer and spent years fighting it until Annie and Ada were fourteen. Annie had began phasing shortly before Ada, and her mother was too weak to take care of her daughters as they went through the changes into werewolves. Annie finally began getting a control of it right as her mother died. She hadn't seen her mother in the last days of her life, except for the night she died. She sat holding her mother's hand until she passed away.
The whole ordeal was hard on Annie and Ada as well as their father. He gave up phasing, and almost on life. After about a year of complete misery for the three of them, he shaped up and began to take care of Annie and Ada - he taught them to go for what they wanted, and to be who they were regardless of all else. He helped both of them get control of themselves as werewolves, and as growing girls. Eventually as Annie stopped aging, she had developed a wall around her. She would only allow in her family, now only consisting of her father and Ada, and her friends, although there weren't many.
Annie had spent years of her youth with her mother. Her mother had taught her about being the best she could be, and taught her to find ways to better yourself by relaxation, and finding yourself beautiful. After her mother's death, Annie continued on practicing what her mother had taught her and because of it she learned to love herself, although she still remained very reserved and quiet. Annie had lived in La Push her whole life with a very small group of people who knew her. But as she aged, she learned that hiding from who you were wasn't the thing to do. So now, as she finally becomes who she was meant to be, she has started going outside of her small group of people and has found many friends. She started working at the thrift shop so she could take care of her father.
Annie had spent her whole life completely attached to her sister, always doing things together, even though they were completely different in most aspects. Annie was the quiet and sweet one, and Ada was more open and 'spunky' in a way. But, they were always open and nice to one another and their father - having to be the women of the household and take care of their father was a tag-team job. Annie spent most of her time at the store or off by herself, and Ada did who knows what. They both had their responsibilities, and they both had each other.
Annie had grown up knowing Jacob Black and the other La Push Pack. Often time, within the recent years, many of the town members and council member, who knew of the pack, would plead for her to join them and protect La Push. She refused. She cared about the town, but it wasn't her responsibility, and she was struggling with too many things of her own. Of course, she still had a few friends who were of the Pack, but if the subject of joining came up she would refuse and talk about something else. She never liked fighting, violence, or war. And that is what you got a lot of the time with them. Some of the members of the Pack were god people, but she could never see herself being a part of it, even if they needed her for her long years, and expertise.
