Forum:Fiona Patton

Name: Fiona Patton

Personality: Fiona has always prided herself on getting what she wants. She doesn't necessarily do it in sneaky or unjust ways (although if it comes to that, so be it), and time is not an issue. She is patient, indeniably patient and always able to keep her calm, no matter the situation. She's not the kind of person to see the best in people, nor the worst; she has an uncanny ability to see people just as they are, and treat them accordingly. She is a strong believer in equality and human rights--raised in the depths of Texas, there's no doubt that her conservative, prejudiced parents are what turned that spark of rebellion within her into a proverbal forest fire.

History:  Her childhood home was in the suburbs of Odessa, Texas; she was sung to sleep not by her parents, but by sprawling farm land and suffocating heat. No matter how vast her hometown was, Fiona never ceased to try to escape it. From a young age she developed very firm liberal values, which clashed violently with those of her parents. No, not violently. It was actually rather quiet--the torment of her childhood was "No, you can't try out for the football team," "Yes, you have to learn to cook," and--worst of all--"You aren't really wearing that, are you?" The air her parents breathed around her was bitter with disappointment, and for a long time, Fiona felt the same way about herself.

This insecurity was no doubt fueled by her sexuality--a deep, dark secret that for years she hid even from herself. She spent night after night with someone, a different boy each time, drowning herself in liquor and salty kisses, running from her family and from herself, because she loved him, right? She loved all of them. But deep, deep down, some part of her knew--had always known--that she'd never love a boy like she loved her best friend.

On top of this, Fiona had a habit of curling up inside herself; she couldn't seem to shake the feeling that there was something inside her she couldn't fix. Something different--and in the Texan mindset that was still partially embedded inside of her, she believed it was awful. She'd often storm into her bedroom and slam the door so hard it seemed to rattle the house to its very foundations, but that wasn't odd. She would scream until her face turned red and her eyes became glazed over with tears and her heart couldn't take it anymore, but that wasn't odd either. No, what was odd, was that during these episodes, things went missing. Her mother's best china; the wooden crosses tacked to the walls all over the house; bottles of expensive perfume. Sometimes, the bath would overflow when nobody remembered turning it on, and the TV would rattle angrily, threatening to fall off the entertainment set entirely. While Fiona was always, always blamed for these occurances, it was not her innocence but the mystery of it all that kept her going until she was eleven years old, and finally learned the truth.
