| [atrb=border,0,true][atrb=style, width: 400px;] sorcha phyre rivera scorcha . 19 . female . heterosexual . demi-god child of apollo, god of the sun, music, art, and archery appearance: "red hair, hand-me-down robes....you must be a weasely..." This famous Harry Potter quote nearly describes Sorcha Rivera. She and Solaria are quite similar to fred and george Weasely. Sorcha is tall and skinny, with a look like she was stretched out rather than have grown into her height. She tends to tower above everyone, especially her mother, and yet dosen't look the slightest bit awkward with it. Sorcha's hair is a firey orange-red, like a blonde who tried to go ginger. It has a damaged look about it, with split ends and dryness, but it suits her all the same. It hangs around shoulder length-where she chopped it off, and has an unruly, wild look about it. Surprisingly enough, for a child of Apollo anyways, Sorcha, like her sister, is very pale. Her friends love to joke around with her, claiming she's a vampire. Her wild hair does nothing to help this, in fact it makes her look even paler and it look brighter. Her eyes are almond-shaped, and her eyelashes dark, framing almondy-gold irises. Sorcha never wears make-up if she can avoid it, claiming that with all the things she does, it'll sweat off anyways. Sorcha never gives much notice or care to how she looks, managing, at least, to always have a dark colored, if not black, band t-shirt, dark skinny jeans (again, if not black), and bright colored vans or combat boots. Sorcha generally paints her nails black or red, and never keeps up with them. The polish is often chipped and the nials bitten to their beds. She wears a black, fingerless glove on her right hand, that goes to the middle of her forearm. This dark, edgy, punk-rock style tends to make her even paler, all the components of her look making her look nearly white next to her sister and friends. Sometimes, her friends joked she was so pale she glowed in the dark. To go along with her love of anything punk rocky, Sorcha has black belly button, double ear, cartilage, nose, lip, and eye brow perciings (though she doesn't always wear them at once so the effect isn't overwhelming.) She would've had a tongue perciing, but it would've affected her singing ability, so she didn't even bother. She also has a few secret tattoos that she hasn't told anyone about, not even Solaria. She has a black flame in the dip between her hip bone and ab muscles, a "trampstamp" - a menacing looking owl with the moon in the background, and one on her neck- sol written in cursive, just below her hairline so even in a ponytail, it's hidden. Sorcha has a smooth yet defined jaw line, a small yet long nose, and two arched gingery-brown eye brows above her golden eyes. Her lips are rather full, and her mouth is long. Compared to her sister, she is the dark, serious looking one. face claim: hayley williams personality: Like her hair, Sorcha has a firey personality. She's not afraid to fight back when something bothers her, or voice her thoughts, and she's not afraid to take it either. Sorcha recognizes that everyone has a right to be heard and she is respected for it. Not only does she share her own thoughts, she takes others into perspective as well. It is one of the things that make Sorcha a mature leader. She listens, but she's got a tough skin and can stick to her guns. She may be a little bit of a rule bender, but she has her limits. She'll never drink, never do drugs, or anything that could be considered in the same category as such. She has a temper, again with the firey personality, but she never lets it get out of hand. Sorcha never wants to leave a conversation angry. She could leave irritated, annoyed, or anything else, but if she's still fuming with anger she cannot leave. If she were to do that, it would grow into a nast black hole inside of her until she wanted to get the person who angered her back. Sorcha is also something of a virtuosos (not surprise here). Often, if she isn't busying herself with something to help out the camp as being one of the oldest, she can be found a the piano, eyes closed and playing to her hearts content. She's also fairly with the ukulele, harmonica, flute, ect... But if there isn't a piano near by, if she gets her hands on anything drumstick-like she'll tap out complex rythmns until everyone around her is irritated. Sorcha also writes songs, mostly about her relationship with her sister and her childhood, but occasionally, if you were to look through the small journal she keeps these in, you'll find a song about happiness inspired by her friends. Sorcha likes to help out around camp, help move things along. With more and more demi-gods coming in everyday, she decided to help train and clean and such. She feels it's her duty as one of the oldest members of the camp, at 19. This girl is also something of a prankster. In her earlier days at the camp, she and her sister were known as the "Rivera twins" and to know they were coming for you was quite frightening. She knows how to be paitient with a prank and used to pull many, day long ones with the assistance of the Hermes cabin. but after her sister joined the Huntresses, her pranking side has died down a little bit, but it hasn't left, waiting for one good prank to pull it back again. She has been hurt badly by her sister. They used to be unseperable, and they promised eachother to never leave eachother, but Solaria joined the Huntresses, and it tore a hole in Sorcha's heart. She was severred from her twin. She feels betrayed and often can't be in the same room as her sister without becoming stiff and silent. But, if Solaria were ever in danger, Sorcha would sacrifice anything and anyone, inculding herself, to protect her. Their bond goes deeper than a lifetime. likes: ``complex music ``dubstep ``playing drums ``driving ``piano, ukulele, guitar, ect... ``singing ``Solaria ``her demi-god siblings ``writing complicated music ``doodling ``being crafty ``fire ``elaborate pranks ``her father, Apollo dislikes: ``dumb pop music with repetitive chords ``Justin Bieber ``the huntresses of Artemis ``her mother, Selena Rivera ``her aunt, Artemis ``girly, frou-frou things ``generally anything pink (with the exception of cotton candy and unicorns) ``stalkers ``models ``sitting still ``wanna-be's, tools, players, ect.. strengths: ``leadership ``maturity ``archery weaknesses: ``her sister, Solaria ``needles ``fighting with weapons besides a bow and arrows fears: ``needles ``the death of her sister, Solaria ``night fatal flaw: ~~Solaria.

Flawless skin, full lips, long, luxurious brunette hair, a gorgeous hour-glass figure, glowing tan skin... It was no surprise when she became a model for Victoria's Secret. For hours upon hours, she was sat in make-up, then sent to pose in lacy, revealing underwear. And she loved it. Selena was cocky and vain, finding beauty in herself and only herself. But after awhile, the job began to become wearing, as she was getting older. It was time for her to find new jobs. So she modeled day in and day out, suitors coming to her and serving on her hand and foot. One day, though, a certain suitor stood out to her, he seemed to glow like the sun when he smiled and she felt positivly glowing around him. Selena wanted to see more of this man, so he gave her a card. As it turned out, he was a photographer, and her offerred her a job that would change her life for months to come. Selena took it and was given a job no one could turn away. And soon, she fell for this suitor, and finally, he gave her his name. "Apollo..." he whispered to her on one of their evening flings. She took it to assume he meant his last name and thought nothing of it. But when her prgnancy was discovered, Apollo returned and explained who he really was. Selena, upon finding out, became even more vain from being flattered. A god lover! He stayed with her, more for his children now than anything, until they were born- twins. The god himself named them as they were born, Sorcha, then Solaria. And while Solaria was being born, he held Sorcha. This would affect her later on, getting beautiful blonde hair while her sister's hair was a ruby red. He left, promising the twins he would return for them. Selena, discovering her lover's leaving, broke. She was a wretched mother, never paying attention to her children, only herself. She left everything out for them though, as if pretending they didn't exsist. Solaria took these moments to look out windows at the sun or sing a song and dress up, but Sorcha did not. She dyed her hair with as many reds as she could, trying her hardest to get that red hair her sister had, that, when she noticed them, her mother cherished. Selena had seemed to favor Solaria, and Sorcha noticed. But instead of lashing back, she turned her pain into song, writing complex pieces of classical music on the piano. They were dark and moving, and she never played the same twice. She waited for the day when her father would return for her, taking her away like he promised, the one who actually loved her. At seven, Apollo came for them. He took them while Selena was at work, in the middle of the day, and drove them in the "sun" to CHB. There he left them, explaining what would've happened had he left them there, and what they were. Then he left, taking care to give Sorcha a hug. Selena never went looking for her children. Sorcha and Solaria, once safe and well at camp, became an unstoppable force. They would pull prank upon prank, laughing and growing a bond that could never be broken. But as they reached 15-16, they began to be seperated by different intrests and things of life. Solaria began to feel lonely without her sister around all the time, and so to make up for it, she joined the huntresses at a very late 18 years old. Sorcha felt betrayed by her sister and they never spoke again unless in polite tones of trhough musical means, though if Solaria was ever in danger, her older twin would come to her rescue, putting her life above all others. rp sample: -- kaiden .kaiden jane maylark .4-5 years? . thalia grace |
