habits/quirks •
she tends to chew her lip often, and if she's not doing that then she'll be playing around with a strand of hair or even drumming her acrylic nails against any surface when she's distracted.
fears •
she's not afraid of what life is going to throw at her, she just has the same fears that most people have too. she can't stand to look at spiders for any length of time, they creep her out and make her scream. she also hates garden gnomes, and mannequin-sort of contraptions. they're just down right freaky.
dreams •
she wants to become world famous, but who doesn't? she actually wants that white-picket fence dream, with the big house and the desirable family. not that she goes around telling people that, babies and marriage tend to make most guys her age run to the next state.
secrets •
before she'd been signed to her agency, she was short of money and one night when she was trying to get a taxi to take her back to her apartment, someone thought she was a prostitute and asked her how much an hour she would charge - she should've said she wasn't and walked away, but she needed the money and told him it was cash upfront, $750 an hour. almost double her rent, but as his driver took them to his hotel, he gave her the money and she knocked him out and..well, ran. nobody knows this obviously, but she does feel guilty about it...kind of.

overall •

so, jenna dawson was never what you'd call a spoiled brat, despite the fact that both of her parents were considerably well off - she wasn't spoiled. her mother was adamant that her children were not going to become pompous brats. she was the second born, her brother damien being a mere three years older and first to arrive, it didn't mean she was the "favourite" by any means - it just meant that everyone got to pick on her because she was the baby and there was nothing she could do about it to stop them. her parents had both went to public school, thus deciding that if it was good enough for them then it was good enough for damien and jenna. not that jenna envied the girls who went to the private schools, with their uniforms and noses stuck up in the air so high, it's a wonder their necks didn't snap. so she didn't get into any of the "elite" circles, she didn't take the ballroom classes that her mother's friend's daughters were all taking and she certainly didn't care. she was pretty happy growing up, then again little jenna dawson was always a happy wee soul.

she was the girl who talked to everyone and anyone, she'd be the one to fall up the stairs rather than down them and there was no point in starting anything with her, because she'd go red at the though of a confrontation or an arguement and give in within the first five minutes. she may be a bit of a pushover, but she certainly wasn't an easy target growing up - damien, her older brother, was always seen as the type who would kick ass if they even touched his little sister. of course she laughed at such thoughts, damien wasn't tough, just because he was strong and tall and a little moody at times didn't make him an instant ass kicker. they were close, and that was it really. even after he graduated and left to persue a career in dance - jenna followed on shortly after him. yes, when she was sixteen she decided that enough was enough - she was dropping out of school and became adamant that she would find something wothwhile to do. she'd never been the most grade-focused person anyway, quite happy to sit at the back of the class with her head in her arms napping away. however, her parents were mad at her for doing it but luckily..or rather, unfortunately for her they were in the midst of divorce settlements. they didn't hate each other, they didn't have secret lovers..they'd just grown apart and even though they loved each other in a "you are the father/mother of my child" way, that was it. she was a bit pissed off, yes, that she hadn't noticed what was happening - but then again as long as they were happy who was she to complain?

two months later and her mother had found "the love of her life" as she had put it, no - she wasn't getting any younger it's true, but jenna still didn't agree with it. at least her father was actually dating, even if he was dating the leading actress for his new television show..he was still playing the field a little bit, which was good. after the divorce, she had decided to stay with her father seeing as damien wouldn't let her move in with him and his boyfriend because he didn't want a sixteen year old cramping his style. william said he was happy for her to move in with them, but of course damien wouldn't allow it. she knew why really, he'd only recently come out of the closet to the family even though he'd been dating will for almost three years, he wasn't entirely comfortable with them seeing him the way he was. so she didn't press the matter further, considering her father had already started to take over and "offered" her an internship with his company's production team, though it wasn't an offer she was allowed to turn down and had no choice but to take it.

she lasted three months in the internship, growing bored of it as soon as it started to get repetitive. she managed to slink out of it, by promising her father that she would find another job elsewhere and she did - as a waitress. not exactly glamourous but she needed to prove that she was capable of doing things on her own. she was at the waitressing thing for a good two years, trying to get noticed by several agencies throughout the city and on the verge of strangling her agent - jenna did what she could to get by. last year her brother finally agreed to let her move in with him, so she was away from her father and his new wife and baby. she paid rent obviously, and did a few things she wasn't so proud of to get the money. like the time where she pretended she was a prostitute, and demanded money upfront before knocking her "client" out and running like hell before he caught her. that was one thing she has never told anybody, she flushes red everytime she even thinks about it and would become a babbling mess if she actually tried to talk about it. it was actually at her brother's wedding last christmas when she got noticed by one of will's dearest friends, and he asked her to send him a portfolio. she hadn't heard of the company because they were a new agency, looking for fresh faces and pretty girls to join them. she was unsure at first of course, but now? well now she's made quite a name for herself and is slowly, but surely sneaking her way up the ladder and doing something she always wanted to do.
