The Character
Do you really know who you are?
Full Name: Jordan Lucille Hart
Nickname: Jordie, Lucy
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Grade: graduated high school, went to community college but dropped out
Preferred Gang: none
Sexual Orientation: heterosexual
Celebrity used: Becky Lou Filip
Appearance:
When you first see Jordan you think of a baby face, that she is younger than she really is. Her face is rounded with high cheek bones that give her an innocent almost childlike appearance. Jordan looks more like she should still be in school rather than working on her own. The shape of her face gives off an almost ethereal look to it, an almost dream like quality at times.
Jordan’s body can either be portrayed as awkward or elegant. Due to the fact that she has very long features (except her face), depending on her positions she can be extremely clumsy if she’s not aware of her body and where she is stepping. Overall Jordan is very conscious of what she looks like to the world, so most of her movements are very flowing almost in a ballerina-like way. She has extremely good posture and body movement, and her long legs and arms only accentuate this. Although because she has such long arms she can look very fluid in her movements but also fragile and easily broken. Her hands only add to that considering they are so small and nimble.
The most striking feature about Jordan is her eyes. With such dark hair it makes her eyes pop even more. Her whole appearance in general seems very baby-doll like with her small nose and heart-shaped face, but her eyes show her true self. They are piercing and almost haunting.
Jordan’s skin is very smooth and flawless but does have a slight pigment to it. The only piercing she does have are her ears, otherwise her skin is unmarked. Usually her fashion sense includes a lot of solid colors, generally a lot of blacks and whites so she looks very graceful and composed in her appearance. Her voice is very soft and quiet, almost melodious and ethereal as if she’s from a faint dream you’ve had once. To sum up the overall look of Jordan, she’s unique and no matter how poised and elegant she seems, all of her emotions are shown through her eyes.
Personality:
At first glance Ms. Hart is very reserved and calm. For the most part she busies herself with her own problems rather than attempting to butt into other people's lives. This does not mean she is cold, it just means that she's conservative around others she does not know well. For the most part Jordan can be extremely cautious and weary when she meets people for the first time. She will say little and only speak if she feels the need to, otherwise she gets herself caught up in a daydream of her own making. Jordan lacks the skills to speak to someone outright, often clumsy and easily embarrassed are qualities that come out when she's in a new situation. For the most part she could be considered dorky and quirky.
Once you get past that reserved outer shell she's extremely personable and friendly. She's extremely sweet and compassionate when it comes to her friends. Often times she's called endearing because she is so sweet and humble about herself and her abilities. Even with people she is close with it's possible to be embarrassed, but it generally takes a lot more effort due to the fact that she's comfortable around them. Ms. Hart is generally the one that her friends go to if they have problems, since she is always willing to lend an ear and give them advice. She could be considered the motherly because she cares about others more than she cares about herself. Jordan is also very vulnerable, she is prone to extreme emotions and it's hard to keep them off her face. If she is hurt it's plain and open on her face and body language.
A downside to Jordan's personality is her ability to be extremely stubborn. This can come in handy when she's dealing with her friend's problems that they just want to brush off, but it's definitely a negative when it's her own. Jordan almost goes into denial about her own problems, continuing to tell others that everything is alright. Her optimism, is to the extreme where she figures that if one day is bad the next will be better. This optimism further fuels her denial that violence does not exist. Jordan knows deep down that there is something out there that is not human, but refuses to get out of her own little daydream.

History:
Jordan was born into a rough household. Her parents often struggled financially to make ends meat considering that her father was a construction worker and her mother a secretary, attempting to raise several foster children on top of their own. Eventually her parents were forced to give away several of their foster children and Jordan in order to keep their heads above water. Jordan was then filtered into the foster care system at the age of 4where she floated around for a few years until she managed to be adopted at the age of 10 into a family of dancers. While at the orphanage she made lasting friends, who she unfortunately lost contact with until several years later. One including her foster brother Theodore.
Her foster parents were the complete opposite of her regular family. They were home more often and always made sure that Jordan was happy. Due to the fact that she was their only child they coddled her a little bit in the beginning. Although she didn't get everything she wanted she had a normal middle class lifestyle. Her foster mother taught her ballet and contemporary dance but Jordan kept up with ballet, even after graduating high school. That’s when she went to a community college, unable to afford a real college without scholarships. Although she enjoyed college for the most part she dropped out after only a few months. Then deciding that her time would be better spent attempting to get out of her small town she did a number of odd jobs and wandered from town to town, eventually landing in this one.
On her venture from town to town she met up with her friend from the orphanage. Yet he was changed, he was no longer the happy go lucky guy she remembered, Theo was angry and bitter at his life. His adoption hadn't gone as well as hers. Theo had been adopted into an abusive family, then started to hang out with the wrong people while in high school. He attempted to get Jordan to join him and his friends in a gang, but she refused making up an excuse to leave. Although she wanted to call the police on them, for she knew they were doing illegal activites she decided against it. So she went on her way, while he moved to the city. That's when Theo got into trouble, Jordan hid him from the cops one night when she first got into the city. Yet after pleading with him to give up the gang he refused telling her that it was all he had left. The next day he died in a drive by shooting and Jordan never forgave herself for not trying harder to keep him.
Attempting to make it big in the dance world is difficult. Most of the auditions she went to have been flops, they tell her that she has raw natural talent and is a beautiful dancer but needs discipline. Now she waitresses when she has time in between dance practice in a nearby abandoned studio. In addition she also plays the piano at a local bar, hoping that the money combined will be enough to pay expenses along with classes that she needs to get into a good dance college. As soon as she arrived Jordan realized that there was something different about the area, something not quite ordinary. Despite this fact Jordan has deluded herself into thinking that everything is alright, she knows deep down that it’s not. She’s currently attempting to get through her life, get out of the city eventually and make it big as a dancer. Until then she’ll keep on being in denial when it comes to the violence that people can commit.
