Addison is a quirky ginger with pale blue-gray eyes and a slight, tall build. Her hair is cut at a stylish, yet easily manageable medium-short length, feathered at the ends and with a natural curl outward. Modest, Addison tends to wear little to no make-up, but maintains good daily hygeine. Her apparel of choice is a tank-top and jean combo, snazzed up with a quirky thrift-store blouse or button-down and sensible shoes for her line of work. The young woman lacks definitive muscle tone and posseses curves almost negligible admist baggier clothes. Still, what definition her body lacks, her expressions make up for. Addison's whole thought process is open season, as her expressions more often than not betray her feelings. Because of this, she makes a terrible liar, but her smiles are guaranteed to be genuine.

P E R S O N A L I T Y:
Personable- Addison's easy-going nature and desire to please others make her a fairly pleasant companion. Quiet, but talkative enough to start and maintain a conversation, and more than eager to listen, Addison's genuinity is readily apparent by friends and strangers alike. Her open-mindedness and manners are icing on the cake, as they make her more accessible to a variety of different backgrounds.

Easily flustered/frustrated- As easy-going as Addison is when she is calm and confident, it takes very little to frazzle her. When frustrated, pressured or embarassed, Addison's first reaction is to well up in tears. She cannot help it. A certain sense of dread and failure grip her and bring her into hysterics. It is not uncommon for Addison to become withdrawn and aggressive in these states if continued pressure or unwanted attention is applied.

Humane- Addison is a bleeding heart when it comes to the troubles of others. She is a firm believer in maintaining quality of life for even the outcasts of society - a reason she took up the job of prison warden. Her morals are solid, her will to never stray from them nearly impregnable.

Responsible- Taking pride in her work and personal life, Addison tries her best to succeed and excel. A good sense of timeliness, honesty and self-discipline serve as the perfect recipe to see to Addison's duties.

Pushover - A sweetheart like Addison is bound to be taken advantage of - especially in a prison. If one knows how to appeal to Addison's generosity, and takes caution not to offend her personal morals, they can milk almost anything, from dinner on her to a couple additional hours at the workplace. Addison is also wont to give in to others terms in an arguement, as to achieve a peaceful resolution.

Born to Lillian and Quinn Harper, Addison started out life as a Preemie - four weeks early, to be exact. Nonetheless, the girl grew with little complications. With Quinn in the navy, Lilian and little Addison found themselves moving around a lot. Addison totalled 9 seperate schools throughout her elementary-to-high-school career, but was never without friends, able to make them as soon as she arrived. When Quinn lost his hand to machinery aboard his carrier, he was released with an honorary discharge, allowing the family to finally settle down in Massachusetts. As a "setting anchor" gift, the family purchased a border collie. Addison (now 17) had the honors of naming the pup and christened her Domino. She still has the dog to this day.

Inspired by the local flora of Massachusetts, Lillian decided to open up a private business dealing in flowers and arrangements. The business wobbled on three legs for a good year before the business began choking on its debt. Worried about money and her credit, Lillian attempted to stage an accidental fire at the floral shop. Forensics and witnesses proved that the fire was started by Lillian herself and a sentence of six years in prison for arson and fradulent insurance claim.

Lillian wrote daily to her daughter, who was now attending college at the University of Phoenix in Maine. She told Addison how she was treated, what injustices the prison wardens got away with in regards to the inmates, the inadequate health care. All of this alarmed and upset Addison. How could a system that represented justice be so lacking in just that? Addison wrapped up her first year at the university before committing herself to a warden training program. Even though there was no chance of Addison being assigned to her mother's prison back in Massachusetts, Addison felt compelled to better the system in Maine. She decided she would climb the ladder up to an influential position and snuff out the corruption.

Addison is still low on this ladder, having served roughly five years as a prison warden now. Her determination is still as strong as ever as she makes due with what little comforts she can offer the inmates here in Maine.

Googled "Behind Bars", oddly enough. I guess you thought it was a good Prison RP name, too.
