General Appearance: Reggie is a bronze beauty and unlike most of her peers, she’s not modest about it. She doesn’t go about blushing if someone complimented her. With dark almost raven hair that curls at the end, and almond shaped dark brown eyes, she was blessed with good genes from her African-American father and her Puerto Rican mother.
She's got a great physique and prefers to maintain it by a strict exercise regime. Not because she's a health freak, rather, she likes looking in the mirror and not seeing anything hanging off where it shouldn't be hanging off. She can shovel hamburger after steak after hot dog on a normal day, she just likes to know that by the end of the day, she can lose it as fast as she gained it.
Her style of clothing differs from one day to another but she avoids any dull colours. Just in case she turned into an obscenely neon colour, she doesn't want her clothes to be the thing that strikes out the most.
It's easy to see a smile on Reggie's face because she doesn't believe that frowning would get her anywhere and laugh lines are much better than worry lines were she to ever get wrinkles when she grows old. Besides, she looks pretty good with a smile on her face. Though that would probably be self-bias.
Personality: A true romantic at heart, Reggie sees the world through rose-coloured glasses. She truly believes that love is always right around the corner and will always come up with a happy ending for any scenario.
She’s a girl who wears her heart on her sleeve, someone who won’t hesitate to help when she sees another in need of help. She's quite vulnerable and very naive. She loves too openly and is quite forgiving, almost to a fault. She's a pushover and a people pleaser and she doesn't quite mind being either. She's also very clumsy which is even more apparent when she's excited or nervous.
Reggie considers herself a very boring person but considering acting is her passion, she truly comes alive when she’s in character. [Not that anybody knows this, on account of her being too shy to try out for any acting productions] Also, behind a computer screen, she’s a hoot. Although she’s a very affectionate person, the idea of public displays of affection embarrasses her.
Though one can easily characterise Reggie as a sweet person when they’re talking to her face to face, which she really is, she’s quite the judgmental person. She perceives someone one way even before she gets to know them. Not that she dares say what she thinks out loud. She also quite easily goes off tangent sometimes and can be seen drifting off into space even while she’s talking to somebody. She doesn’t mean to do it, it’s just in her nature.

History
The significant events of Reggie Earle's life.
August 12th 1991 was the day when Reggie got her very first bodyguard. Her big brother held her protectively in his arms when she was first introduced to him in the private suite Walter had paid for for Josephine, his wife. There was no denying the love the little boy had for the little pink bundle and Walter and Josephine never had to worry about their baby girl.
March 5th 1997 was the day she learnt that she could always count on her daddy. It was the first day of school and everyone around her was either crying or still clinging on to their parent legs. With a simple promise of waiting by the gate by her father, Reggie went through the day without a single tear as all her classmates sniffled and sobbed. Seeing her daddy outside the gate at the end of the day, leaning on the hood of his beloved ’69 Camaro was a sight for sore eyes. She never doubted her father ever again.
May 7th 2002 was the day she realised that losing her was the last thing Carter had in mind. Her power manifested on the very same day she got her period. It was already a harrowing experience for the eleven year old girl, having to deal with the fact that she looked to be bleeding to death. But add on the fact that she had turned bright pink just before finding out where she had to stick the small white tube in would have killed her if not for her mother’s soothing words.
But her mother’s soothing words did not help when she was asked to pack up her things to follow a stranger, though very kind-looking, out of town to be where she could ‘belong’. Not even when she was given a parting gift from her brother from his room window only to find that he wasn’t even going to wave goodbye to her. That part stung just a bit.
14th of February 2005 was the day she found that love, with the right person, was wonderful. His name was Eric Valen, he was tall, handsome and funny. She was still too shy so she never got the nerve to ask him out. But she waited. She waited until Eric would finally take notice of her and notice her he did. Right as she was soaking wet and blue in the face…and her arms…and her legs…oh and the rest of her body too.
But it was Eric that dropped a jacket around her shoulders, pulling her close while whispering: “Be my Valentine, Regina Earle.” Suffice it to say, blue was not the colour she stayed in for the rest of the day.
15th August 2006 was the day Reggie fell out love. But not by her own volition. Eric, having had to graduate that year, decided to let Reggie go. Despite her urges to be faithful to him alone and not being too clingy, which Eric doubted very much, Reggie eventually accepted the fact that she couldn't hold on to him forever. She still held a torch for him and still wonders if he would come back to her.
23rd November 2006 was the day Reggie realised just how important family was. A stranger had come over to the house, demanding she see Carter. Reggie later learned that Carter wasn’t her real brother and it near broke her heart. She had so much in common with Carter and so didn’t realise that there wasn’t a family connection there. She was promised by her father that they were going to fight for custody. Reggie didn’t need to see the future to know they would eventually win that battle hands down. The lady looked way too flaky to handle the impulsive and fiercely protective Carter anyway.
17th June 2009 was the day Reggie knew she was going to make a difference in her world. Graduation was over and done with and her college acceptance letter hadn’t come in the mail yet. She was nervous, she couldn’t sit still in her seat while the closing speeches were made and once everything ended, out of sheer joy, Reggie threw her cap up in the air and joined her parents and Carter, who was legally her brother already, for lunch. Her mother presented her with a letter welcoming her to University of Vermont to do linguistics. Even as she was turning purple and her vision temporarily limited to greys and whites, Reggie was so ready to take on the world.
9th September 2010 was the day Reggie basically betrayed her parents. Not by much really, all she did was get a tattoo. Without anybody's consent. But the thought of rebelling after so many years of being a model daughter made Reggie feel entitled to one night of utter debauchery. At least she made sure the place was legit. It wasn't some back alley dinky store with questionable art. The pain caused Reggie to change colour way too many times and she couldn't see any colours at all for two hours after the tattoo was done. She still hadn't told anyone yet and she figured, it would be a funny story to tell when she grew older.
At least that was the hope.
