[/b][/size][/center], weight 131 lbs.
, tattoos&piercings Nose, ears, navel. Tattoo of Pluto on her hip, the roman numeral for 13, and a circle of thorns around her ankle.
, distinguishing features Her bright red hair and gray-blue eyes
, physical flaws She has scars on her legs from being attacked while she was alive, and cuts on her wrists that open up occasionally. She was never good at healing. Her ears are also on the large size.
, personal style Punk/skater stuff. She loves make-up and bright colors. And fishnets. And jeans. And anything that would look cute if you wore it right. She'd wear lime green to a funeral just to cheer people up.
, general description Erika is quite memorable when you think about it. Her bright red hair is actually natural, but she's been known to die it blond when she gets bored. Her eyes are a blue-gray that seems to get darker when she gets angry. She thinks her ears are too big, and her nose is shaped a bit funny. But no one cares, especially when she smiles. Her soft, full lips pull up at one corner when she does and her nose wrinkles. She used to have crooked teeth before she got braces, but a few of the back ones are screwed up beyond repair. She also has her wisdom teeth, still. Her parents weren't too into dentists, even if her father was a doctor.
Erika isn't all that tall, and she has a boyish frame. Her feet are small and her hands are long and artistic. Her skin is pale, despite the fact that she grew up in California. Most people there really don't have tans. She's kind of flat chested and tried not to dress up her chest to make it look fuller. Her arms are scrawny and look too small attached to her shoulders, like they can barely carry the weight of her hands. She bites her nails, too, so there isn't really much when it comes to her fingernails. Her wrists have cuts on them where she tried to kill herself, and they open up and bleed all over occasionally.[/size][/ul]

, personality Erika, prior to being in The Beyond, used to be a girl that loved with all her heart. She was happy, and could make anyone smile from a few simple words. She loved seeing people light up when she was around, one of the reasons she got into music. So she could help them from just a few songs. She delighted in simple things and she herself was easy to please.
But when she died she got a full personality overhaul. Since her heart was pretty much shattered into little, tiny pieces, Erika couldn't trust herself to love anything ever again. Except for her puppy. She became depressive, snappy, and sarcastic. No one in the beyond wants to help her find her friends because she scares the crap out of them. She hates being around people at all costs and sleeps around to try and ease the pain. She hates doing that, but how else is she supposed to distract herself? Nothing impresses her and she rarely smiles like she means it. Mostly wicked grins or grimaces. Rather sad, really. They way she dresses is the only hint that she has any happiness left, which shines out in her bright green shoelaces up to her neon yellow bangles. Her only patch of sunshine left.[/size][/ul]
`you are my sweetest downfall
[/b][/size][/center], residence before death Los Angeles, California, in her apartment that she shared with a friend
, cause of death She died from a broken heart, after an attempted suicide of slitting her wrists
, father Jacob Xavier
, mother Valerie Moore
, sibling(s) One stillbirth baby sister
, pet(s) Sparky, a black lab puppy
, other family She had a couple of cousins and an aunt that died a few years back.
, history Erika's parents didn't exactly have a fairytale love. They'd been dating on and off the past few years when Erika's mom announced that she was pregnant to her boyfriend. He asked her to marry him and she accepted. She did love him, she just didn't expect to be loved back. Erika was born in the next nine months, listening to Beatles songs, that were old even back then, and Cat in the Hat almost every day. When she was born, her parents were so happy that they held their wedding off until Erika knew how to walk so she could walk down the aisle with her mommy.
When Erika started to get older, she was really into music. She'd watch The Little Mermaid almost everyday, or Snow White, or any old Disney cartoon until her parents got sick of hearing the same songs over and over all around their house and give her a new one. She'd carry around her mom's old portable CD player and listen to Bjork when she went to kindergarden. The teacher tried to take it away from her but after the fit she threw, she just let her be. She also mat one of her good friends, Josh in those years. About first grade. He didn't like music as much as she did, but they'd stay up late going through old records and stuff for hours until Erika's parents told them to go to sleep, with a few muttered curses thrown in for good measure.
Josh and Erika stayed best friends through elementary and middle school, in which Erika developed a crush on Josh. She didn't know he was crushing back, and hard, and their relationship was strained through those years. She thought he'd get nervous around her only because of all the hormones that were pumping through both of them. But during middle school, they met Tyler and Jeremy and started their band, Cosmic Destroyer Five. Erika was on vocals, Josh on guitar, Tyler on bass and Jeremy on drums. God, they put their hearts and souls into that band. One of the reasons Erika barely made it into highschool
Now, high school was horrifying. Erika hated it with a passion, since all her guy friends couldn't seem to stay out of people's pants. Except Josh. She was happy about that. She didn't even mind that he had a few girlfriends. He swore that he never slept with any of them, and she had to trust him. She didn't really have a choice. Josh was the only thing she had left. The band stayed together, until Jeremy got cancer and died in their second year in high school. They dropped music for a while, then they met Julia. Julia was the coolest chick ever and just wanted them to all be happy and start their music up again. she'd replace Jeremy in the band, too. They got back into it after that, and Josh just couldn't seem to keep his eyes off of her. They were really close. Like, really, really close. Erika wasn't too bothered by that, though. He didn't know she was pretty much in love with him. He never really needed to. But, when Tyler died in a car crash, she decided to just drop the band thing,. Even Julia's enthusiasm couldn't break through her sadness for her dead friends. So, yeah, high school sucks.
Once Erika, Josh, and Julia were out of high school, Erika tried to go to college. But her depression made her sloth-like. She didn't want to do anything that had to do with people anymore. But her life totally shattered when Josh told her that him and Julia were getting married. How could Josh do that to her? She told them that she was happy from them, but all she wanted to do was crawl in a hole and die. Or kill Julia. She wouldn't eat, couldn't sleep. And became super-depressed.
So when her parents went to check on her one weekend to see if she was alright and feeding her puppy, all they found left of their precious baby was her corpse on her living room floor. Dead of a broken heart.[/size][/ul].[/color]

[/i], Via thought, running her fingers through her hair. She slung her bad over her shoulder and made her way slowly up to the boy, not wanting to scare him off. "Nice afternoon, isn't it? You mind if I sit here?" Via asked him with an inviting smile. She towered over him while he was sitting, but she knew he was at least an inch taller than her. His lean body was something she'd like under sheets. Via smirked to herself. Easy tiger. She laughed mentally and sat next to him anyways, not caring what he said. She fished around her bag for a moment before pulling out her lighter and offering it to him wordlessly. She sipped her 'sparkling water' then almost spit it all over the sidewalk. Shit. She'd picked up her sister's bottle of vodka instead. Damn it, Katie. Put your alcohol in their proper bottles. So much for not drinking today. She took another pull of her vodka.
"So, I noticed that you like trouble. I'm Via." She grinned at him. The definition for Via was trouble in almost everyone that knew her's book. She actually loved that reputation. It kept away people who couldn't handle a little Payne.[/ul][/size][/quote][/size][/ul]
