Quirks: When Carter sees something really interesting to her she tends to just drop everything and draw a picture of it to make sure she remembers it. Carter really likes humming random show tunes or songs whenever she has a long walk or is in deep thought or when she is very concentrated on something.
Personality: Carter is a very social, sweet, and energetic girl. She is one of those girls that seem like she has a perfect life but in reality she doesn't. Carter can have her mean streaks so don't think that she's just this sweet little girl. They say red heads always have a temper, well that doesn't always describe her. Carter is mostly very mellow about things and doesn't tend to take things to heart unless its something she already feels self conscious about. She is the girl that everyone likes and many girls envy and really Carter gets along with everyone. She always claims to be an open book to people, waiting for them to hear her story.
Talents: Very talented at drawing things, she is every good at shifting (see history)
Hobbies: Drawing, listening to music, practicing shifting things, walking
History: As much as Carter knows she never really had a mother or father. She was raised by her mother's parents, her grandparents, for as long as she can remember. Though they tell her often that she lived with her parents until she was around the age of 5. When she has glimpses of those memories her grandmother always tells her the same story.
'You were born during the middle of one of the worst storms the state had ever seen. Your parents were newlyweds having their first child in their first house. Needless to say it was a hard labor for your mother, but you were definitely their biggest dream come true. You see your parents met each other when your mother was visiting Italy for a class trip and they said it was love at first sight. After you were born your parents gave you everything you needed and any thing else they could give you. Then when you were almost 5 something happened, but your too young to understand that now. Any way, your parents thought it was safer for you to live with me and grandpa until you're old enough to know the truth.'
Now that Carter is 22 and graduating from college she has still yet to know what really happened to her parents. When she returns to the states she is going to ask her grandmother right away what really happened. After all she knows that she is a third generation shifter because of the other stories her grandmother had told her and she was taught by her grandmother everything she knows about shifting. The reason for Carter wanting to be called Carter is because she feels it makes her closer to her mother having her maiden name as her first name and her father's surname as her own. She has two more weeks left of this semester tour and if she is willing to go for the next semester she will be able to spend more time in the more art cultured countries. For her last two weeks she will be staying in India, one of the countries she is most excited to visit!
Inventory: She carries around a big 'artful' bag that she keeps a lot of her pencils and other art stuff in. She also has always carried a backpack instead of a purse. It's a small backpack that has two other complete outfits in it, her wallet, cell phone, iPod, hair supplies and make-up. Since Carter is technically in class, she has another book bag full of study books and she has two full suitcases back in her hotel room.
Advantages/Disadvantages:
Strengths: Personality, her shifting abilities from being taught by one of the United States greatest shifters, drawing
Weaknesses: Doesn't know her history, she can have a temper, seems younger than she is
