The Family

Robert Marquette Was my loving father. He died at the beginning of this year in a car crash. I do miss him dearly.
Isabelle Mary Marquette Is my mother. I never really was close to her at all. She works two jobs now because we don't have daddy's income. So she's too busy anyway.
Trevor Nicolas Marquette My older brother. Yeah, he's going to commuinity college now but he still lives at home.
Sid The ferret is my best friend. He lives in my room and belongs to only me. Sometimes I go out with him on my shoulder.
Chaz Is our family cat. He was my dad's but now we kinda share him.

My life

We moved here when I was twelve, mainly because my dad had a job offer that would let us afford a better house. This meant leaving the rest of the family back in Washington. We still visit every other summer, but it's hardly enough. I'm always writing letters to my grandparents and aunt Sylvie.

School is important to me. I'm heading down the road to become a vet, but I'm not sure yet it's what I want to do. Right now I have no real job but I sometimes babysit for money. It collects in a snapple jar on my dresser. I have no idea how much is in there.
As for the social scene, I don't drink or party hard. I'll go to parties once in a while just to watch people or have something to do.

Escaping the Monotony

Family life pretty much stinks at the moment. My mom and I don't see eye to eye, and Trevor's at school or out with his girlfriend a lot. We understand each other and we're close, but he's not around much any more. That was how I discovered my new passion.
Art is my life. I paint, draw, and take pictures. It's a new found talent.. not that I would call myself "talented". I've tried my hand at writing but I don't think I'm that good at it.

Please Note

This is a made up character. I wrote in first person, but this is not about me.
