physical information

HEIGHT >> 5'7"
EYES >> Bright hazel

AGE >> 20
DESCRIPTION >> Gayle, as she prefers to be called, is toned and lithe, but not enough to be defined as overly muscular or refrain her flexibility. As a stunt woman, her body type has to remain sort of neutral, so she can easily match the body types of other actresses. She would prefer to be tanner than she is, a healthy peach, but again with the neutrality she must possess. She has a number of scars on her legs (knees) and arms (elbows), but remarkably none on her face. She makes it a point to make sure nothing harms her face (even though you never see her face in whatever she shows up in).

PERSONALITY >>
Gayle is a bright and active individual who seems to live off adrenaline rushes. She's got a huge heart with equally huge lungs, and appears to always be moving. She graceful and sharp in a way only athlete's can be, though sometimes slow on the uptake (either that or she just makes up her own conclusion). She's openminded, generous, and caring, with a love for trying out new things. She can also be very determined, which often makes her the bull-headed one of the group. Not in the sense of trying to force her opinions on others, mind you, but more "if at first you don't succeed, try try AND TRY again." For the most part, Gayle seems to be pretty balanced in her emotions, generally a mix of cheer and determination. She does have her bouts of anger and sadness, but prefers not to show those negative emotions. Hence, she has a habit of bottling stuff up. Though she's friendly, she hasn't had many close friends whom she trusts enough to poor her soul to. It's alright with her though; she relieves her stress and built-up emotions through free jumping. Which she loves very very much. Almost as much as acting.

HISTORY >>
Gayle was born in a small town near New York, though she spent a few years of her childhood in Brooklyn while her dad had a job in the city. It was here she discovered her dislike of small, cramped spaces, and soon after, her love of athletics. She was still rather young when she discovered parkour, after seeing a professional crew come and record some sessions around the city. All of her free time after that was dedicated to becoming better at free jumping, practicing on the roof of their apartment before moving out to other parts to practice more difficult moves and strengthen her body. She was in middle school, and becoming a great free jumper, when she also discovered a love for acting, after being assigned a small role in the school play. For a while afterwards, she was torn between the two, and a little distraught over which one to focus on. Her father encouraged her, and insisted "Why not both?" ...and that pretty much solved it. Yea, she never had a difficult life, this one. After that, she practiced both obsessively, going through a few times in her life where her grades dropped (and her parents would have to discipline her and remind her of her priorities as a student...) but she eventually figured out the best solution for her. It all balanced out in the end, so it must have been meant to be. During her last year of high school, her father was laid off, and the family moved to another small town, where they had a few family members. Gayle was saddened to leave New York, and soon after she graduated, she moved back. She's been working as a part time stunt actor and delivery girl to earn as much money as she can to go to acting school. As usual, her free time is spent free jumping (which sometimes comes in handy when delivering...if you don't mind your food sort of messy). When Gayle was nineteen, she went up north for a few days with a recording crew (a big step for her!) and she noticed a shooting star land a few miles away. She had some free time, so she left to explore. Well...some things are hard to explain, even for someone as carefree as Gayle. But there's no changing the past, and it's made for some interesting new adventures and friends!

EXAMPLE ROLEPLAY POST >>
A pair of feet hit the roof with a slam, raising bits of debris and dirt from the force, though the feet were already long gone by the time the dust settled. An able-bodied girl darted across the top of a building, hair trailing behind her and cold puffs of breath disappearing in her wake. Within seconds, she was at the opposite end and with no hesitation, launched herself over the edge. No sooner had she disappeared from the edge of the building then she landed with a clang, the rusted fire escape barely holding. Any perils, as per usual, were ignored and the young woman kept moving. However, instead of taking the normal way - step by step - she grabbed a bar over her head and lifted herself through the opening between bars, feet first. With balance perfected, she landed on a brick fence and took off along the top of it. At the end, she pushed herself off and did a single flip through the air, landing on a bed of newly upturned dirt. A hasty apology was muttered to the new grave, the whispered word dragging behind the ever moving female. She raced through the old cemetry, pulling herself over monuments and jumping over gravestones, instead of running around them. In no time, she had reached the end of the graves with only an iron fence in her way. Her gloved hands went to the top and with an intense push, she managed to flip herself over, momentarily balancing herself on the top of the fence, her feet in the air. The flip continued and she landed gracefully on a sidewalk, a pleased grin on her face. It had taken a long time for her to get that move down. Now merely a block away from her apartment, she slowed to a mere jog, still jumping over trashcans and flipping off of walls. An elderly lady, setting a basket of apples outside her store smiled at the young adult and tossed her an apple as she ran by. "Gayle, you really should stop running through the cemetary! It's rude you know!"
Gayle laughed, her personal chimes left in her wake like so many other things. "Maybe someday I'll learn!" She waved her thanks to the shop owner, a grin on her sweaty face, before biting into the apple to hold it into place as she grabbed a window sill and went up the side of her apartment, headed for an open window on the fourth floor.
