[december van buren]

paris welcomes the amazing
december celia van buren.

lets start with the basics, shall we? tell me all about the name thats being whispered all around paris as we speak.

my full name is december celia van buren. i'm not exactly sure why i was named december. i mean, i was born in july. it's a pretty name, though, i suppose. i like it. it doesn't leave much room for nicknames, though. except ember. my close friends call me that all the time. sometimes people call me em as well. then there are the hired help at my home. most of them refer to me as miss van buren. except matilda, of course. i don't know why, but she is determined to keep the miss on it, so i've compromised and told her to call me miss ember. it all works out, i guess. celia was my grandmother's name on my father's side. so they figured they would give it to me as a middle name. it's not so bad. i actually liked celia. she was a strong woman. the kind who could really take care of herself. she was also kind of scary. it was like you knew you had to do what she told you or there would be serious concequences. but she died when i was thirteen. van buren, of course, is my father's last name. i have mixed feelings about it. since i hate my father. but the name itself is pretty classy. then again, my father has been rich his entire life. so it makes sense.[/left][/ul]

remind me again, what was the name of that lovely town you grew up in?

[/color]well, i was born in manhattan, new york. so, i suppose that that's my hometown. my family moved here to paris when i was twelve. my father got some huge promotion which meant he had to relocate here. but i do miss new york. a lot.[/left][/ul]

brilliant. and for how long have you been gracing this world with your presence?

[/color]i was born on july sixteenth, nineteen ninety-two. which makes me seventeen years old. i wonder why i couldn't have been born a year earlier. i'd already be eighteen. which is pretty much my life goal at the moment. isn't turning eighteen a sad life goal? oh, well.[/left][/ul]

and now, can you to tell us what brought you to paris?

[/color]my father has always had a way of getting what he wants. which doesn't exclude his job at all. he works for some big company that handles contracts and other boring things like that. anyway, when i was twelve, he achieved the promotion he'd worked over two years for. meaning he went from important to super important. however, in order to get that promotion, he had to relocate to paris. which he had absolutely no problem doing. so, here we are. five years later. and i'm still god awful at french.[/left][/ul]

amazing story. and now, tell us all about the people you call family. they must be amazing, considering they're related to you.

[/color]i suppose i should start with the obvious. my mother is elena maria van buren. she's a forty-three year old italian woman who has never known when to quit. unfortunately, we've never been close. she's always been wrapped up in other things, letting the nanny raise me instead of having a child slow her down in all of her endeavors. her most favorite of those endeavors would be her infatuation with men. she's never satisfied, always going after another one. and they're always young. i don't know why she even got married in the first place. it's obvious that she became bored with my father a long time ago. possibly before i was even born. number two on the list would be said father. marcus maxell van buren has always been the kind of guy who liked to use his power. he was born into one of the wealthiest families in the surrounding states and he likes to make it known. i have avery complicated relationship with my father. most days, he's the greatest dad a girl could ask for. he tells me he loves me and i believe him. he'll be kind an gentle. but then there are the days when he just snaps and it's like he's a completely different person. those are the days that i tend to end up with bruises.not every time, but quite a few times, alcohol is involved. i try to stay clear of him when i know he's been drinking but it's only so easy. it's like he's psychic or something. hr always knows when i'm in a ten foot radius. i don't have any siblings, but there is one more person who i've come to love as if she were family. matilda hernendez is my nanny. always has been. she's been there for me more than both of my parents combined. sometimes i think that she's actually my mother and not that whore who pays me no attention. she's a really great person, and i honestly don't know what i'd do without her. of course she knows my father's antics. she's told me why she hasn't said anything to the cops about it. she's afraid that they'll believe him over her (which they would) and he'd have her shipped off. she would no longer be able to keep an eye on me then. it's really very sweet. [/left][/ul]

what are the three words that define you?

[/color]stubborn, secretive, fun[/left][/ul]

if you could be anyone you wanted for a day, who would you be?

[/color]anyone? ummm. i'd like to be someone... normal. well, maybe not. i'd like to be someone with a normal family! that's better. i'm not sure if i want to be any one person. i like being me. unique and all that. so, basically i'd like to be me but with a different family. oh, and famous. because who doesn't want to be famous. honestly. [/left][/ul]

name two things you simply can't live without.

[/color]number one. my ipod. it has my entire life on it's hard drive. i would be lost forever without it. secondly, my clothes! i really, really love clothes. if i wasn't so completely horrible at drawing, i'd consider going into fashion design. but, yeah. i have the artistic capabilities of a first grader. so, that's not happening. [/left][/ul]

care to tell us a bit about your style?

[/color]i have my own style and i'm not afraid to say it! i do like darker colors the most, so that's what you'll see me in a lot of the time. i like to try different things, too. you know, something you didn't think would go together, but it ends up being awesome! i'm big on dresses, too. when the weather is right. i think i have over four hundred of them. no, i'm not kidding. i love black. it's so chic and it just works with everything. black skinny jeans are a must have for anyone in this day and age. along with the little black dress. but like i said, i have my own style. you can't really pin me down to one area. i'm all over the place. story of my life, really.[/left][/ul]

now, the last question. you've died and are in the presence of god, trying to convince him you should go to heaven. what would you say?

[/color]oh, well. i've never thought about that before. i'm not exactly sure. i mean, i know i'm not a bad person so i'm not too terribly worried about it to be honest. hmm. i guess i'd let him know that i always believed in him in everything that he does. even if he 'works in mysterious ways' that confuse the hell out of me most days. it's not like i've given up faith or anything. yeah, i'm pretty terrible at this. can i get back to you?[/left][/ul]

hello, fla. this is kari. i'm twenty and i've been rping for six years. as for my pb choice, i've used demetria lovato for my character.
