☀Topaz Lexington, 17
-model: Jourdan Dunn or Chanel Iman or Arlenis Sosa
-bio: Topaz Lexington, this girl was raised in Ethiopia until she moved to Australia with her family. Her family has always been loving to Topaz, giving her everything she ever wanted and tending to her every need. Her parents have always been proud of her, their little artist. From as early as she could hold a paintbrush, Topaz has been painting. She paints portraits, landscapes, sceneries, everything. This is the life that Topaz's parents knew about her. What they didn't know is that she was living a double life. When she wasn't in her room, painting on her easel, she was actually in the bathroom, purging and regurgitating everything she'd eaten that day. It's not that Topaz didn't like her body, or that she felt overweight. It was because of her boyfriend that she met in Australia. He was extremely rude and abusive, telling her she was too fat. Topaz believed him and did whatever she could to make him happy but it wasn't worth it--he broke up with her soon after. Topaz let go of him, but she didn't leave her bulimia behind. Topaz couldn't get over the break up and started taking her anger and sadness out in her paintings. She starting ripping apart her masterpieces and breaking things left and right. She turned into a wrathful person and it showed her in artwork. Her parents became worried and sent her to Thorne Academy. But they sent her for her destructive behavior and arrogance, still oblivious to the fact that their daughter was bulimic. Here at Thorne, Topaz has an "I-don't-care" attitude when actually she really does. She's going through a lot with her broken heart and doesn't know how to deal. Maybe coming here will take her mind off things? Or is it too late and has Topaz destroyed herself? Is she beyond improvement?
-likes: quiet & peaceful public places, easel, buying new paints, baggy clothes, neutral colors, earthy colors, being alone, forgetting the past, losing weight.

The typical complaints hung in the air, dirt being kicked up in the air as if their problems would float away as the cloud of dust did. My hand was wrapped around the opposite wrist as though it usually was, measuring the size of my distinct bones. Of course my hungry – no, pathetic - eyes flicked over the food in front of me. “I could eat one, only 100 calories. Or half, only 50 of course. Or I could just eat it all, feel the disgusting, repulsive food sliding down my throat & feel the burn of it coming up later tonight,” the voice of Ana said to me. The other girls, they shoved the food down their throats so easily. They didn’t think about the repercussion when they looked in the mirror after the meal.
It’s not worth it, not like anyone even knows yet. I pushed the plate forward out of my immediate reach & stared out the window. I thought of painting the view, the pace of my brush changing with the intensities of the colors. Too exhausting, too upsetting: at least that’s what every thought that passed my mind felt to be. Thoughts of the past had infected my sleep the past few nights & my body was feeling the consequences.
“Topaz?” A prodding finger woke me from my first few seconds of sleep this week. My hazel eyes opened to find Samantha blinking at me worriedly. “I’m fine, just tired.” She nodded & returned to eating her food. She might have been the only one here who I felt connected to & actually felt for. The others repeatedly complained about what they were forced to do. If only they knew what bad was. They’ve never had to fear going to the one they were supposed to love.
Storyline:
I think I'm going to have Topaz overcome her eating disorder & face what she's dealing with. I don't know if it's going to be another person that causes the change or just her seeing the real bad things in life.
Yes! I am really excited to play Topaz(: The story line of the roleplay is really original & I'm sure it's going to be fun.
