Appearance: 255
When you look at Carolin Ruth Bishop, she looks a bit older than your average sophomore. With her dance experience and skill, you would expect her to be much slimmer. However, the weekly milkshakes at the beach don’t help so much. In the past few years, she has stressed less and less about her appearance, so she no longer has the ‘ideal’ body. But to make up for that loss, her confidence has soared to the point that she looks beautiful despite her slightly overweight frame.

Lynn has mid back length silky brown hair that she added blonde highlights last summer after her friends’ pestering. She sports captivating light blue eyes that always give her emotions away. Her eyelashes are long but so pale that she wears mascara to prove that they actually exist. (The mascara is the only make up she wears these days)

The 10th grader also has acne prone skin that she constantly has to clean to keep herself from descending into the teenage skin issues. Her skin is pleasantly tan from her time on the beach. She wasn’t one to purposely tan, but it still happened from the sheer hours being outside in the Florida sun.

Overall, her confidence adds much to her outward appearance. She is a pretty girl, but not one to flaunt or show it off.

On an average day, her fashion is best described as 'soft'. She tends to wear pale and light colored sweatshirts and jeggings although she feels comfortable and looks great in sweaters, skirts, and overalls.

Personality: 275
Carolin is a quiet girl. Most describe her as a wallflower girl, even though she wouldn't describe herself as quiet. Lynn is often absorbed in her thoughts and that makes it a bit harder than others to start up a conversation. At the first glance, she is often so caught in her thoughts or bent focused over her journal that most wouldn’t give her a second thought or be daring enough to break into her personal bubble. She doesn't often smile, but when she does, it can brighten a room.

In public, without anyone around, you can often find her bent over a journal filled with song lyrics, monologues, school notes, and random journal entries. When she isn’t absorbed into the world of her own creation, she is quietly observing exchanges between people around her with a contemplative look on her face.

However, once you get to know her, Lynn transforms into a totally different person. She is openly honest about everything (sometimes to a fault). It doesn’t take too much to get into her friend group, but if you ever break her trust, there is almost no chance she will ever trust you or want to be around you again. She tends to have a positive attitude and is often with a witty comment or a sarcastic comment to break the tension.

There are only a few people Lynn doesn’t like, and she does everything in her power to stay away from them. She will even leave a group or an event if they show their faces. However, moving to a new school has given her the opportunity to avoid anything relating to that.

Parents: 194
Carolin has always been tight with her family. She has an older brother, but they never really talk since he is five years older and across the country in collage. That just gives her the opportunity to be closer to her parents. Lynn is much closer to her dad than her mom, although they both did their best.

Esma Bishop, Carolin’s mom, is a jewelry maker who sells her stuff online and although it’s a job that would allow her to stay home, she is often out combing beaches for sea glass or searching for inspiration or meeting with people. On weekends, she has a stall at the local farmers market. She offers Lynn to tag along, but she usually declines to instead walk at the beach or work on her acting some.

Daniel Bishop, Carolin’s dad, works as a manager at a local water sport shop. Lynn learned to surf from him and finds recluse in the familiar aisles and displays. The upstairs of the shop has a window seat viewing out towards the ocean that Lynn always sits at. Because she loves the shop so much, she grew closer to her dad.

Friends/Passions/Interest: 340
Carolin had a tight enough group at her old school. She was liked by enough people that she drifted through the cliques without many giving her a second thought.

Carolin’s love of music started with her love of dance that led her life from third grade through ninth grade. She danced competitively for the last four years and quit after a muscle tear in her leg (and finances became more of a trouble). Quinn Lesly, her old dance friend still kept in touch over the summer and went a couple times to surf at the beach.

Lynn connected to the band kids last year through her love of music and minimal guitar skills. Her song writing got her a special in for the group. She even wrote one of the bands ‘Seaside Surf’ their lead song that led them to be discovered through the city for their park performance last Spring. Song writing was only one of Lynn’s many interests.

After the tear from her dancing, she took up acting. Her new friend, Linsey Addams showed her the ropes. Linsey had been in a commercial a few years past and that gained her the fame and popularity in the Thespian Society. When Linsey showed up with Carolin, the group was fast to accept her. Lynn had even got a part in a Summer Performance of ‘Mama Mia’ that so many people had been to.

Besides Quinn from dancing and Linsey from acting, Carolin had a few other people she held close. She had become a mentor for a younger student, Susan Wamber, at her old school. Lynn had been best friends with Chey for as long as she remembered, however, when Chey became extremely jealous about Lynn’s acceptance to Searook Academy, Lynn stopped talking and cut off all ties to her ex-best friend. Carolin had a ‘boyfriend’ (more of a crush that ended up being both ways) for a few months the start of her Freshman year, but he had moved away and Lynn hadn’t heard from him all summer.

Carolin’s favorite color is the ocean in the crescendo of the sunrise. The pale, turbulent blue is the same color as her eyes. The coincidence earned her the pet name Ocean Eyes, but hardly anyone remembered her by that anymore.
Lynn’s favorite animal is a turtle (as basic as that seems) she was a big advocate for them after seeing one beached with a plastic bag over its fin. Soon after she became a turtle fan, the entire world seemed to become obsessed with them as well.
Lynn is always at the beach or wandering down Coral Avenue. If she doesn’t have her journal, it means she is out surfing. Some people used to joke that they wouldn’t recognize her without her journal.
Carolin’s favorite meal is anything seafood even though her parents can never afford it.
She took up a job at the start of the year teaching a dance class for kids down by the beach. It will last through October. It will give her the money to go do things with her friends at Searook Prep and buy her weekly milkshakes.
