Dress Type:
Cleo is a fashion icon in the making, or at least she is in her head. From what she wears you'd think she was a fashion disaster waiting to happen, she's all for experimenting with her clothes, buying from both thrift stores and high street brands, but at the same time she likes to be seen keeping up to date with the trends. Not because she wants to be accepted or anything, it's more to do with the whole 'fashion icon' thing.
Personality-
honest;
this is one personality trait that Cleo prides herself on. She is a brutally honest girl and cannot see the point of hiding anything from anyone, no matter how horrid the truth may be. She speaks her mind when she wants to speak her mind and the quickest way to get to like her is to be just as honest as her.
loyal;
if asked to chose between friends or family, then family would win hands down, after all she has known them her entire life and they are the only ones she can be sure will stay by her side unwaveringly. That said Cleo is still loyal to her friends, if someone bad mouths them then she will not hesitate to tell them exactly what she thinks of them.
original;
originality is something else Cleo prides herself on, she can't stand people who jump on the bandwagon and follow trends like stupid little sheep. She wants to do her own thing, have her own thoughts, views and opinions and she wants to share them all. Perhaps she just wants to be the trend all the sheep are following though.
inventive;
Cleo is inventive in a number of ways, she is most adapt in the spoken language though and by this I mean she can lie her way out of most situations. She honestly enjoys spinning off stories to anyone who will listen, and to anyone who is stupid enough to fall for them, the way she sees it is that the world is hers for the taking, and that's exactly what she's going to do.
independent ;
Cleo enjoys the company of her friends and family as much as the next person, but she is just as ease with herself, perhaps more so. Not only that but she isn't utterly dependant on her family to look after her, or her friends to watch his back. She is highly independent and prefers to sort out her own problems by herself and it's likely she won't accept your help.
intellectual;
Cleo isn't smart, not book smart anyway, but she is quite intelligent and if you were intelligent you would know the difference between those two. She is more sort of street smart if you life, while she does get good grades in school without really trying to hard it doesn't take away from the fact that to her, grades are useless. With that in mind she has made herself as knowledgeable on the world as she can, she knows the most random facts about volcanoes she's never even seen pictures of, or countries she'll never go to. She is a fast learner as long as she is interested in something.
unpredictable;
who wants to be predictable? No one, that's who, and rightly so. Cleo is no different, she takes pleasure out of acting erratically, she loves the fact no one is 100% sure of how she'll take something, how she'll respond to the tone they say something in. It's a guessing game with her, and she wouldn't have it any other way.
unemotional ;
"Emotions are for losers." Emotions are for the weak, show nothing and you'll get far in life, that's truly what Cleo believes and it has worked for her thus far. Sure, not very many of her friends stick around for long because of her inability to show her feelings but does that matter? She doesn't need people - she's happy with herself.
detached;
while she is loyal Cleo rarely gets attached to anyone, she's learnt by now that most of the people she knows will mostly likely f**k her over. "It'll hurt less if I don't care," that's her 'motto', if you like.

History:
"We'll name her Cleopatra."
Cleopatra Jones was the first and only child of Meegan and Thomas Jones, the reason being that Thomas was, is, gay. Meegan has always been aware of this fact, even before they got married, she was even more aware about the presence of Thomas' boyfriend Kevin; she has never been at all bothered about her husband, and childhood love, being gay which worried her parents greatly. What's more not even Kevin minded that his boyfriend was married.
It was mainly for Cleo that Meegan and Thomas stayed married, both come from highly religious families and are all for the big 'happy family' scene, which is exactly what Cleo had got, only she has an extra dad too. Cleo has known about the situation since she was born so she's never really been too bothered about it, she's not the type of girl to care if her home life is 'normal' or not - since she'd much prefer it if it wasn't.
She was four when she was diagnosed with type I diabetes, which was a huge shock for her three parent figures, she has never been a healthy girl, weather that's directly linked to her diabetes no one is quite sure. She was still quite young when it was found that her gender and diabetes had made her at high risk of hyperthyroidism, which she was actually develop later on.
At ten Cleo started obsessing over classical music, she refused to listen to anything but classical and even today it is still her favourite sort of music. She was ridiculed as a child for her queer attitude to life and her bizarre home life but she's never paid any attention to it.
At thirteen Cleo was told that the family would be leaving Ireland, but she wasn't told where her new home would be. She became quite withdrawn after that, it took the family a year to get things ready to move so really Cleo was fourteen by the time they actually left Ireland.
It wasn't until about a month before their leaving that she was told where they were moving to. Cleo didn't know much about Praque but she knew she didn't want to go there. She became a total pregnant dog to Kevin and Meegan, but couldn't ever be that way to Thomas.
As it happened Cleo took to life in Praque quickly - she was happy to ditch her parents as they unloaded their stuff to go looking around for a bit. She hasn't made very many friends, even after all this time, but that's really because she isn't planning on staying much longer. Not unless there is someone there to make her stay.

Beckie;
beckie is Cleo's childhood stuffed toy, he is a huge purple pheonix that is always sat at the bottom of her bed. She got him when she was three, as a birthday gift from her dad's boyfriend, she fell in love with him instantly and cuddled into him every single night up until the age of ten. When she was ten she decided that it was time to get rid of Beckie, when she tried however she found she couldn't. From then on Beckie 'slept' at the bottom of Cleo's bed and still does to this day. She can't go to sleep without him being there.

dehlia was where she always was at this time of the day; her bedroom. and she was feeling very sorry for herselfas usual, it'd been only a few days since her aunt was taken away to hospital and she wasn't coping well at all, nor was poor raffaello, the poor dog was whining non stop. there was an upside to her aunt moving into hospital though, since she was only seventeen and her 'rents didn't trust her on her own her older sister invidia was sent over to stay with her. only invidia wasn't much of a perfect child either and so she'd decided to bring her fiance along with her so they could house hunt together.
they weren't here yet, they would be arriving tommorow though, dehlia was quite nervous about it - it would be the first time she would meet her new brother-in-law, and of course she would have to introduce her sister to dan, it was only fair really. dehlia smiled slightly at the thought of dan, how sad was it that so much of thinking of his name brought a smile to her lips? was she really that crazy about him, or was she just plain crazy. she was thinking the latter, really how silly could she get? last she felt anything anywhere near to this she'd got her heart stomped all over. but then...dan wasn't jake was he? dan liked her back, so it was alright for her to like him this much, he wasn't going to reject her, not like jake did. but...what if he did reject her, she wouldn't be able to handle that, she knew that even now.
no, it was better to just pretend this was just a simple relationship, one that would last a few years tops, that way she was less likely to get hurt again, or to hurt him. it was safer and easier this way, it was better this way. she pushed herself up into a sitting position, having previously been lying sprawling out in a star shape on her bed. raff, who had his head resting on her stomach staring glumly at his new 'mummy' growled slightly when she did this. tutting, dehlia tapped his nose gently "don't be rude," she said quietly giving the dog a scratch behind the ears with one hand as she pulled her cell from her pocket with the other.
daaaan.
uh, well i hadn't thought what i'd say after that.
where are you? i'm really bored.
wanna walk raff for me?
:]

she snickered slightly at her text, what the hell was she on about? she had no clue, ah well dan would understand, how? she didn't know that either, he was dan, he just understood her, plain and simple. oh geez, there she went again acting all lovely dovey, 'he understands me' b u l l dehlia, bull, get a grip on reality, love. sighing dehlis put her phone down beside her lying back down on her bed, eyes closing slowly as on hand stroked raff's head. raff was quite adorable at times, like right now, ever heard a dog purr? well that's what raff was doing right now, ah dehlia has 'the touch'!
dehlia woke to the sound of her cell beeping, she gasped in surprise, causing raff to jump awake. when in the hell had she fallen asleep? how long for more to the point? she grabbed her phone in mild annoyance, all traces of that vanishing when she noticed who the text was from. silly girl! don't act so pathetic! she scowled slightly, why couldn't she let herself be happy? she had no idea, god she didn't have much idea about anything did she?
she opened the text, frowning as she read it, she pushed raff off her and climbed out of bed, her shoes were placed neatly just outside her door, she slid them onto her feet - given the fact they were flip flops this was easy - and snapped her cell shut. the f**king hospital!? don't come!? what the hell had dan gotten himself into? what if he was really hurt and he was just trying to make her not worry? she really probably was over reacting, after all dan said he was fine...so he was fine, right? still, she was going to see him, c'mon he kick her out. um...no?
it didn't take her long to get to the hospital, her aunt's car was still here so she took that - even though she was legally allowed to drive on her own. she made her way to the front desk, asking to see dan edwards, she was told which ward he was in and that was that. charming. as it happened his ward wasn't hard to find, she asked a passing nurse where he was exactly and she, quite generously took her to him.
mr. edwards, you have a visitor, the nurse said before she allowed dehlia to go anywhere near him. yeah, point out the obvious love. nice. dehlia smiled at dan when she saw him "you don't look fine." she said quietly.
