Full Name: Deirdra Roark
Nickname: None
Birthdate: September 21st, 1983
Age: 17
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 132 lbs.
Other Stuff: Deirdra attends a private high school, which explains the uniforms. She likes to read, write, sing, and talk to her two birds - Chi and Phi. No, she's not crazy, just caring.
Appearance: Deirdra has long, shoulder to mid-back length brown hair. She sometimes wears it up in a ponytail, but will most likely wear it down around her shoulders or up in two buns tied with red ribbon. One on either side of her head. Her eyes are a bright shade of green-brown hazel. They make her seem almost childlike in appearance and they show the warmth that Deirdra shows to those she calls her friends. Her skin is a little paler than most, but she still has a little tan.
Clothing: The three main sets of clothing that she wears are her two uniforms and her dress. One Uniform has a short brown pleeted skirt, brown overcoat, brown vest, white short sleeved blouse, blue bow, white knee socks, and black dress shoes. The other uniform consists of a short brown pleeted skirt, green overcoat, red tie, white blouse, black sock, and loafers. The last thing she likes to wear is her short orange dress with her off-white vest to cover it. Something Deirdra always wears is the ring that her boyfriend gave her. It is very dear to her, especially now that she is in a new and strange place.
Other Items: Deirdre carries a backpack wherever she goes. In it are her uniforms and another pair of clothes. She also has a book and paper and pencils. When she arrived in this time/world she found other things. Like other clothes, ones that were more suitable to where she now found herself, some ornaments (for hair and otherwise), some money,a dagger, a strange mirror, and a scroll in some language that she can't understand.
Family and Friends: Deirdra is the only child of a working father who is almost always away from home on business. Her mother has been dead since she was a little girl and she hardly ever thinks of her. Deirdra has a best friend named Maygen and a boyfriend named Josh...both of whom she spends alot of time with (or did before she got 'lost').
Goals: Deirdra wants to find out where she is, why she was brought here, do what she was brought here to do, and get back home.
Magic: Deirdre doesn't know it, but she does possess magic. But what magic she does have will be revealed when the magic surfaces. ;}

Deirdra walked happily down the sidewalk. She was just returning from Josh's place where she'd spent the night. She and Maygen were going to meet up at the coffee shop later to go over some of the homework for the weekend. Everything in her life was going great. But then, all of a sudden, thin strands of light began to hover around her and everything was getting bright.
She saw Maygen down the street and screamed out to her for help. Her friend heard her and came running but it was too late. Just before everything went white and Deirdra couldn't see a thing she looked back at Maygen with pained eyes.
Then everything went dark and Deirdra slept for what felt like an eternity. When she finally did open her eyes she was met by the sweet smell of the forest and beautiful colors of a summer's morning. She smiled a little at the calmness of it all.
But then reality set in and she began to panic. She'd been in the city...and now she was in some strange forest. Deirdra sat up and looked herself over. She was still wearing the green uniform she'd put on earlier and she still had her backpack. Where was Maygen? She remembered Maygen reaching for her before she blacked out...wouldn't it be safe to assume that the light would have taken her too?
She began to cry at the realization that she may never see her friend or Josh again. It didn't even cross her mind that she was not even crying for the loss of her father...they had never really been that close. Deirdra covered her mouth and tried to stop from crying. Everything was just so strange...
Finally Deirdra managed to get ahold of herself and looked around the clearing she sat in. Seeing nothing at first she put her backpack on the ground and got up to search it more thoroughly. There was nothing to be found. Deirdra gulped a little and began to search farther. Beyond the clearing she found a dirt road leading in two seperate and equally scary directions.
She bit her lip and returned to the clearing to find another pack beside her own on the forest floor. Before her curiosity could get the better of her however, she noticed a small bunch of forest critters watching her. She tilted her head. For a second she could have sworn she had heard one of them utter some kind of pitying phrase in her direction. But that was impossible. Animals couldn't talk.
Deirdra turned her attention back to the strange bag. Sshe had no idea how it had gotten there because it hadn't been there when she first went over the clearing. She opened the pack and found other, stranger, clothes, some ornamental things for her hair and body, some coins that looked pretty valuable, a dagger, a small mirror, and a scroll that, when she opened it, she couldn't read.
She took both bags and slung them over her shoulders. This was a scary and unfamiliar place that she found herself in. Staying in a secluded location like this was not a good idea either way. Her legs moved her out onto the road again and she chose a direction and began to walk. Anything was better than this...or was it really?
