[attr="class","egoistic"]PERSONALITY

[attr="class","perbox"]
Christina O'Donnell can't best be summed up by any well known stereotype. Rather, she's a happy-go-lucky, yet hard-working young girl, who has had to grow up quickly due to some terrible circumstances. She does everything she can to help her family, as they are far from being wealthy. She slacks off some when it comes to her schoolwork, but she sees school as only partly necessary to her future, as she plans on staying and working with her father after graduation. She seems dedicated to this task, even doing some of the jobs for her father, but can also get distracted from that somewhat easily. She motivates herself to focus by thinking she must be the one to do this, or she'll let her sisters and father down.

Christina is also a very sweet girl, though she's not one to make friends. She mostly sees it as a waste of her time if they aren't the type to drop everything and help her out when she needs it. While a bit demanding, she does believe she'd do the same if the situation were reversed. From the few friends she has, she makes the most of their time together, rarely content just sitting and relaxing with them. However, she is not one to spend much on new experiences or luxury items, so this does limit her range of activities with those few she does spend time with.
[break][break]
Despite her lack of studying, she does manage to get at least somewhat decent grades in mathematics. Along with that, she has many useful household skills and is even a pretty great artist and musician. She does enjoy the rare times she's all alone and can put one of those abilities to use just for her own fun.

[attr="class","egoistic"]BIOGRAPHY

[attr="class","perbox"] Theodore O'Donnell and Ambrose "Amber" Papadopoulos first met at a concert in Queens in September of 1986, him 14, her 17. Lying about his age, Theodore told her he was 16, and not too long after, they began dating. This ended about 5 months later, after his cake at his birthday party "accidentally" had a 15 instead of a 17 written in icing. However, it wasn't only the lie itself that caused the breakup, as Sophia had already been worried about how their lives would diverge they graduated. Amber would then go on to college and major in Business Studies, while Theodore would attempt to finish his schooling, nearly fail, and start working as a Tailor's apprentice.
[break][break] They wouldn't see each other again until November 1994, Amber visiting her parents for Thanksgiving, and Theo staying in the area to work. They met this time running into each other at a convenience store, and began to reminisce about the old times, eventually trading contact information. They kept in touch, and after about 4 years of being casual friends, they once again decided to date. Eventually, they would be wed in October of 1999, and would move out to East Marion. [break][break] The couple had their first child, Christina, at Eastern Long Island Hospital on July 26th, 2001 around 9:32 AM. A healthy 7lbs 10oz, the new parents were soon discharged, after the bare minimum of 24 hours, to go back to their home in East Marion not 15 minutes away. The family stayed in their yellow-painted house with the gravel driveway for 2 years before Theodore and Amber had come to a consensus: they could not afford to be living in a beach-front property, still commuting to work, and raising a child on their salaries. Their solution was a drastic one, but would hopefully fix all their problems.
[break][break]The family packed up, scraped as much money together as they could, took the best loan they could afford on Amber's credit, and bought two units in Battery Park City. They rationalized this as a new beginning, one where they could work, still look after their child, and save enough to make the whole family happy. They owned two adjacent units, an upstairs and downstairs, which would be their home and their workplace; Theo was done working for his former "Master" and was ready to make it on his own, while Amber reasoned she could be making more money running her own small business. And thus, O'Donnell Family Tailoring had its grand opening in the downstairs unit, with the family living just above.
[break][break]
Years passed, and the family was doing decently well for themselves. They hadn't been making the huge amount they previously thought they would, but at least had definitely cut down on costs, while also being free to run their business as they see fit. As Christina had just turned ten, her parents decided to tell her about their new little secret: Amber was pregnant again, which means Christina would have a new sibling! Christina became elated for the thought of having a new little sister or brother, and the entire family was happy to bring not just one child, but two into the world. However, in the near future, this number would jump to three; Amber was having twins, which Theo was not ready to hear. They had meticulously planned their budget for only one new addition, and didn't want to end up in a situation like they were in East Marion. Not only that, but Christina began to act out, finally figuring out that a new baby would mean less attention for herself. All this would become trivial as the due date drew near.
[break][break]
On January 3rd, 2012, at exactly Noon, Alice and Candice O'Donnell were born. At 12:05, Amber was rushed to the emergency room for cardiac arrest. By 2, she was in a coma, doctors pronouncing the cause as an Amniotic Fluid Embolism. She passed on January 4th, at 3:13 AM, her husband and daughter by her side the entire time.
[break][break]
A year later, after a lot of grieving, Theo had gone back to working again, having nearly depleted their savings. Christina's grandparents would visit often, Amber's family helping out financially as much as they could, while Theo's would help out more in the labor areas like cooking and helping with the children, though the Papadopoulos' would try to have their own days with the kids as well. From them, Christina learned a great deal of skills, like sewing, cooking, and even more leisurely activities like playing the clarinet and different mediums of artistry. Only 11 years old, Christina put herself in charge of taking care of the twins and helping around the apartment. Eventually her father would teach her some tricks of his trade and, by the time she was 13, he would ask for her help when his workload would become too great. Now, the family gets by, and has gotten a lot of local attention for their recent alterations. Theo and Christina hope this will help them to get past living paycheck to paycheck.

[attr="class","egoanswers"] "Sometimes I get too distracted from things I obviously want. Like, with my dad's shop. I'm the one who's gonna take over so I want to do it well, but sometimes I end up doodling instead.... ughh."

[attr="class","egosurvey"] WHAT DO YOU CONSIDER THE MOST OVERRATED VIRTUE?

[attr="class","egoanswers"] "Oh, that's a real easy one. Definitely modesty, because if your good at something, why shouldn't you be able to talk about your full skill set? If anything, it may help people listening do the same things, or at least get passionate about something!"

[attr="class","egosurvey"] WHAT IS YOUR MOST TREASURED POSSESSION?

[attr="class","egoanswers"] "Umm, I do like Granny's clarinet, and the sketching stuff Nanny bought me is really nice, but I guess I have to go with Mom's cross. I wear it all the time. Well, except in the shower. Or when I'm working out. Or.....Okay, I guess I just wear it sometimes."

[attr="class","egosurvey"] WHAT IS YOUR GREATEST REGRET?

[attr="class","egoanswers"] "Well, I've had to give up a lot to help out around the house since Mom..... No, it's selfish to say I regret losing her. Actually, you know what? I regret saying what I just did out loud."
