falling with style
Chico’s OC:
Name: Rain Rowe
Age: 17
Appearance: Rain stands at 5,3”. She is slim and quite delicate in build. She tends to wear a jersey over her school uniform to hide the marks on her arms – whether they be bruises or cuts. Her eyes are light blue, and her hair is chocolate brown, to her mid back and dead straight. A fringe falls across her forehead.
Personality: Rain is a quiet girl. She is used to taking the hits, and does so stoically these days. She’s not very good at speaking up for herself, and generally just goes along with what other people are doing or thinking. She tends to have depressive episodes, although she is undiagnosed. Rain would be an excitable, bubbly person if not for her abusive home environment and its effects on her.
History:
Rain’s mother divorced, then remarried a rather nice man when Rain was 10. They moved to Japan for a very good job offer. After two years, the stress became too much for him – and he quit. Rain’s mother had become an alcoholic during this time, and was unemployed. He found himself unable to find work, and also resorted to liquor. Rain’s school fees were luckily paid in advance – but that couldn’t save her from life at home. Her step-father is abusive physically and verbally, as is her mother.
They currently live in a small apartment, and there isn’t much money around – her mother recently started work as a waitress, and Rain has had to do so as well (at a different restaurant). Rain has fallen into some bad coping habits – cutting herself when in an especially bad place.

It was 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and Ouran Academy was quiet. Just a few students lingered in the hallways. The Host Club had closed at 4:30, and only one or two members had actually left the building so far. The library had also just been locked - a petite girl was walking away from the doors. She wore her school jumper stretched over her hands, and a messenger bag over her shoulder. Her eyes followed the ground as she went.
Rain itself was pelting the walls of the extravagant school, and the gardens outside. The girl was prepared with an umbrella in her bag, that she took out as she neared the doors. She didn't want to go home, then to work. She wished that she could just sleep in the library, live in there apart from her classes. It was quiet in there, safe and friendly. No-one could shout at her there. People left her alone. And she liked the librarian, too. She shivered at the sight just out of the door, and opened her umbrella when she stepped outside.
Rain had only gone a few steps, when her shoes lost traction on the slippery ground. She fells backwards, onto her backside in a puddle - but that wasn't the worst part. Her books were all wet, out of her bag and against the elements.
