ANNABELLE ROSA LUCAS
"Hold me closer, tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today"

POWERS:
Aerokinesis
Annabelle found out she was gifted when she was a teenager, about the same time she started rebelling against dance. She dabbled with controlling her gift, realizing she could have control of the air itself. Creating wind, stopping it, removing air from a room, and so on. She was frightened by the implications of her gift, and usually refrains from using it. When she's feeling strong emotions, sometimes she will lose control of it. A panic attack might make her try to absorb all the air in a room to calm her own breathing, or being mad/upset might make the wind start blowing harder. She tries to keep herself in check, but accident do happen occasionally.
THE LOOKS
HEIGHT: 5’5
WEIGHT: 110 lbs
HAIR COLOR: black
EYE COLOR: dark brown
FACE CLAIM: Emeraude Toubia
OVERALL APPEARANCE:
More often than not, Annabelle can be found with her dark, wavy hair pulled up into a perfectly neat bun. She's usually in a dance leotard underneath shorts or jeans and a cozy sweater, unless it happens to be one of the days she has completely off from dancing. She's just as comfortable in cut off jean shorts as she is in an evening dress. She has to dress up frequently for work and family obligations, but when she's away from the spotlight she enjoys being comfortable. She's got deep brown eyes, a beauty mark over her lip, and light brown skin that deepens when she spends time in the sun.
INSIDE
LIKES: Beach trips with good friends. Ballet is her main passion, but she also enjoys most forms of dance. Being on stage, whether it be dancing or acting. She lives for musical theater. She has a blast with karaoke. Teaching and working with little kids, since they usually have raw and untainted passion and excitement. Traveling and meeting new people.
DISLIKES: Bugs and spiders. Bullies. Strawberries, because she is allergic (but they are delicious and still tempt her). Complex mathematics. Making long term plans (aside from her career).
STRENGTHS: Persistent and unrelenting when she puts her mind to doing something. She has thick skin when it comes to taking criticism, and can separate useful advice from the unhelpful commentary.
WEAKNESSES: Loses control of her ability when she's overly emotional. Terrible at planning, because she usually focuses on the small picture rather than the whole. Huge fear of being dropped on stage. Quick to blame a partner if they aren't working well together, even when the problem is something else (or her) - this goes for her dance partners and romantic partners. She has panic attacks, but does her best to keep that to herself.
OVERALL PERSONALITY:
Annabelle is confident, vivacious, and determined. She has known what she wants to do with her life since she was a little girl, and that was to be on a stage. She refuses to let anyone tell her that she can’t do it. As a relatively short dancer, she knew that she would have to put in extra work to make sure she didn’t get passed up as an asset to any company who might hire her. She is used to hearing harsh comments from other dancers and teachers in the industry, and because of that she has grown to be fiercely protective of the people she cares about who want to try to do anything artistic. She always encourages people to do what makes them happy, regardless of what anyone else says.
She has also struggled with a mild panic disorder through her life. She isn't afraid of being on stage, being the center of attention, or throwing herself into leadership roles. Reviews and criticism don't rattle her. However, she pushes herself to get as close to perfection as she can, and when she feels like she needs to improve she will work herself ragged, not to pausing to take care of herself. It has led to panic attacks and episodes of losing control of her power. It affects her relationships, because she tends to pin anxieties she has on the other person frequently, blaming them or accusing them of not being supportive when she's really struggling with her own issues.

HISTORY:
Annabelle grew up in College Station, Texas. Her parents tried their best to instill a good work ethic in their children, even though they were well off financially. Annabelle is the youngest, with two older brothers. Both of her brothers stayed local and went to Texas A&M University. her oldest brother, Matthew, went for a music degree. Caleb went for business and economics, and went to work for their father Mateo's stock trading company.
Annabelle was put in dance classes from the time she could walk. She took to it well, and it grew into a passion. Her mother encouraged her, putting her in traditional ballet as well as hip hop, modern dance, jazz, and lyrical dance classes. Annabelle couldn't get enough. When she was a teenager, she went through a brief phase where she wanted to quit. Sophia wouldn't allow it, telling her she had committed and needed to see it through to the end of the season. By the time that season ended, she still didn't quit. She couldn't imagine doing anything else, and she fell back in love with ballet.
Julliard was always her dream. But it was super competitive, and she was waitlisted. At first, she was crushed. However, there were several other schools, perhaps not as prestigious, but still great preforming arts schools. She finally settled on California Institute of the Arts in Santa Clarita, graduating with interschool degrees (double major) in dance and theater. Her passion for musical theater is often overshadowed by her love of dancing, but she is jumped at the chance to hone her skill in both areas.
After college, Annabelle stayed in Santa Clarita and took a job teaching beginner dance, and continued to travel to LA for auditions. Finally, a couple months ago, she got a job offer in Los Eurosia with a theater company. She's certain that being well rounded as a dancer and actor is what landed her the gig, and while it pays almost nothing she doesn't mind. She is wiling to work part time jobs around the theater schedule, not that she really needs to, since she does have a trust fund to rely on if she needs it. Her goal is to leave the trust in the bank in case she truly needs it one day.
