Dear Diary;;
Specialties:
1. Photography
2. Writing
3. Charcoal Drawing
4. Opera
Summary:
Ever since Ameena picked up her first camera, she’s always had trouble putting it down. From ants to cars and even clumps of dirt, she’s taken pictures of almost everything—say for suggestive things. Now she takes headshots for people and gets paid a generous amount for it. When she has the time, she’ll even take photos of herself and her friends...whenever they can hang out.
Every so often, she’ll submit short stories to newspapers for the public to enjoy. Romances, Fantasies, any genre isn’t too difficult for this female to write. At this moment she’s working on a book though it will be some time before she manages to finish it with her schedule.
At the age of ten, she began singing opera and picked up charcoal for the first time. Her parents wanted her to have a “back up plan” just in case if something goes wrong later on down the road. Extra talents in their minds are a safety net.
Weakness:
1. Trust issues
2. Claustrophobia
3. Aichmophobia
4. Traumatophobia
5. Shyness
6. Low Self Esteem
7. Easily frightened
8. Gullible
Summary:
After a lot of abuse from her stepfather, Ameena developed trust issues with everyone around her. If someone new were to come talk to her, she’d fiddle with her sleeves and look down at her feet, only nodding or shaking her head in response. Other bad experiences involving backstabbing friends led to this flaw she has.
She got her Claustrophobia when she was only eleven years old. While in an elevator, alone, it shut down and she was trapped in there for over five hours before rescue came. During that time, she had this eerie feeling that the walls were slowly closing in around her. Needless to say, she was very traumatized from the experience after being rescued. Ever since then, she never uses elevators.
Shots. Oh how she despises shots or getting her blood drawn! The mere sight of a needle aiming for her would cause the poor thing to become faint and she might even pass out.
The stepfather is the one who caused her to have fear of pain (traumatophobia), low self esteem, little to no courage and to be gullible.
Appearance;;
Looks: It depends. If she wears makeup she appears her age but it not, she looks like a younger teenager.
Hair: A few inches above her waist. She’ll dye it blonde or red.
Eyes: Light blue
Height: Five foot five
Marks: She has a few scars here and there from her abusive stepfather but that’s about it. They are hidden from sight all the time.
Race: White
Skin Tone: Slightly pale but she does get plenty of sunlight.
Body Type: Slim
Clothing Style: Depends but she’ll usually wear darker clothing to make herself not so noticeable
Footwear: Black tennis shoes
Summary:
Ameena’s red or blonde hair stops a few inches above her waist and will sometimes be pulled back into a frizzy bun or a low angled ponytail. During her photoshoots, it is pulled back and a few pencils will be sticking out of her bun, same when she writes. Eyes are a bright blue and have a tendency to change shades with different colors that she wears.
Her attire covers most of her body since she doesn’t like the idea of attracting attention to herself. Scars from her stepfather led her to wanting to conceal them to avoid questioning from friends. Even if it’s a hot day, she’ll wear long sleeves and tolerate the discomfort.
Ameena has an average height for a female and her body has a slim build to it mainly thanks to genetics. Though sometimes she’ll have a sickly appearance if she doesn’t eat enough.
Most of the time her facial expression is somewhat blank unless someone tries to frighten her (or something else).
Personality;;
Likes:
1. Taking Photos
2. Drawing
3. Writing
4. Daydreaming
5. Being alone with a book
Dislikes:
1. Too many people in the same room
2. People in general, especially loud ones
3. Brussle Sprouts
4. People who remind her of her stepfather
Flaws:
1. Can be injured emotionally and physically easily
2. Frightened easily
3. Can be clumsy at times
Summary:
When all’s right in her world, Ameena enjoys taking photos, drawing, writing, daydreaming and curling up with a good book. Her social life isn’t exactly the best since she dislikes going to public places and finds that her books are the best things that keep her company. The only place she’ll actually go to is the library, market, local thrift store for clothes and the coffee shop.
Ameena hates people. She always has this feeling that some are out to get her and may be planning on doing something horrible. Every time she leaves the house, she feels very vulnerable and will even take a knife with her. Brussle sproutes…don’t even get me started. She HATES them. One bite and she’ll be in the restroom for a good while trying to throw it up. And last, but not least, anyone who looks similar to her now deceased stepfather frighten her.
When it comes to flaws, Ameena isn’t exactly a very headstrong person. It’s easy to pick on her since she cannot put up a decent fight and, as usual, is too frightened to say anything back. Sometimes she can be clumsy but that’s only in public. When alone or in her comfort zone, she’s a completely different person...unless there’s company.

History:
Ameena was born in Missoula, Montana on October 11, 1989. For the first nine years of her life, everything was the way any child would want it to be. Her parents were loving, helped to push her along in her dreams, be there when she needs her and anything else a parent would do for their child. One night, when she was nine years old, her father got into an accident and died before he could reach the hospital. Her distraught mother mourned his death for months before she met her future stepfather.
Right when they first made eye contact, she knew right away something was wrong with him. She tried to tell her mother but she refused to listen. They got married and then hell broke loose in her life. Once his abusing started, she focused herself more on her talents to help ease the sudden changes in her life. She got good grades in school but her abusive stepfather made it hard for her to socialize properly. Her selfesteem and courage were dwindled down to almost nothing. To make matters worse, she was bullied at school constantly by the boys. They'd throw small stones at her and even go as far as chasing her into the restroom, the only safe haven for a girl.
For a good eight years the abuse continued, until he died from binge drinking one night. Despite that horror being eliminated from her life, nightmares still plague the female, forcing her to never forget. After his unfortunate death, her mother moved away and she hasn't seen her for a good year or so.
Trying to ignore the traumatic years, she found a career in writing and even photography. The more she busies herself, the less she’ll think on such things. Right now she owns her own apartment where she has a few clients come in for head shots. Fortunately, around only a single person, she's able to keep herself composed.
