Turn away 'cause I need you more
Personality>> Sandys whole persona comes with a taste of bitter coffee. To get to the point, she’s extremely cynical and sarcastic. She's infamous for witty humor, but she’s also thought of as emotionally cold or having trust issues. Which, she in fact, does have. She especially dislikes boys and can’t trust them romantically due to prior issues in her life. She’s logical though and approaches situations openly and calmly though her cynicism often gets in the way when it comes to people. She’s level-headed and is not easily daunted with challenges she's faced with. Thus, Sandy also cares very little about what people think of her. At the same time Sandy is also very caring and loyal to her family and friends. She’s a natural ‘listener’ and she doesn’t judge people with what they may tell her. She’s also kind and friendly, which in a sense goes against her trust problems. Sandy can easily start a conversation with someone else if she truly wants to. Yet at the same time, she’d rather be alone. She does have quite a few conflicting characterstics. but it's all about getting to know her. She's a very generous girl and is willing to help anyone that asks. She's a great defender of the underdog and will stand up for a complete stranger if she feels the odds are unfair. She’s educated and introversive, having a love for literature and writing. When it comes to school or a project Sandy is a perfectionist, she HAS to get A’s, even if she gets a B+ she feels it’s not good enough. Sandy doesn’t hold high expectations for others but she does hold them for herself. She’s also a daredevil in the sense that she’s always testing out the rules, seeing how far she can stretch them before she gets caught. She has a hunger for adventure and learning new things, she’ll do anything once.
Likes>> Horses, flowers, books, writing, learning new things, the beach, trail rides, dancing, butterflies, thunderstorms.
Dislikes>> Snow, bugs that 'jump', frogs, metal music, math, snobby people, bullying, prejudice.
Fears>> Failure, Turning out to be like her mother.
Hopes>> To become a trainer and teach people how to ride horses, to be like her Grandmother.
Secrets>> She wishes she could have a relationship with her mother.
It’s the way I’m feeling I just can’t deny
Appearance>>Sandy is on the short side, 5’5 and probably won’t grow much more in the coming years but her long wavy blonde hair makes her seem taller. She can best be described as having an athletic build, a slender frame with more than slight muscle. She has a clear complexion and since she is often outdoors she has a healthy tan.
Her expression, though seeming serious most of the time, has an innocent and honest essence. This is because of her large, blue-gray eyes, framed by long eyelashes, which she inherited from her father. However, the serious undertone comes from her narrow, prim eyebrows which seem to be furrowed slightly at all times. She has an average sized nose and full, pale lips. As for clothes Sandy dresses more for comfort than style; jeans and a t-shirt or sweater to her are fail-safe. Her ears are pierced, along with her cartilage, tongue, belly button and nose. She also has two tattoos. One is on her right shoulder, it’s of a horse’s head. It’s an ink piece of an Andalucian with it’s long mane playing in the wind, decorated with flowers. The other is on her left wrist in cursive script and it says ‘forever strong'.

But I’ve gotta let it go
Medical History>> None.
Criminal History>> Nope, she's a good girl.
Full History>> Sandy grew up in a small ranching town in the deserts of Nevada, where there seemed to be just as much sky as land. Her parents had owned a decent sized ranch but due to a few years of drought and poor funds, they had to sell most of their stock and land. They were left with the house, a stable block, some chickens and a couple of old horses. For Sandy and her two younger sister, Koda, now fifteen, this was enough. But after the sale her parents started arguing more and her mama took up the bottle, and not long after filed for a divorce. Sandy's mother gave up custody however and the grandmother took Sandy and Koda in, Sandy being only five at the time. The two girls were raised by their grandmother, and that was how Sandee learned to ride and developed her love of horses and books, since her grandmother was a librarian. Sandy spent most of her childhood barely speaking to her parents, and though she mostly resented her mother for giving up custody of herself and her sister, she still regrets that she doesn't have a mother in her life. However, Sandy is thankful for everything she has and put all of her effort into horseback riding and school, quickly moving to the top of her class. Her grandmother saw how well Sandy was doing and although she could barely afford the Academy, she urged Sandee to go, saying it would be an insult to turn the opportunity down.
We found love in a hopeless place
