PERSONALITY:
Sahara is the classic Bubbly girl. She's always smiling and happy, he kind of girl who's nice to everyone and loved in return. In short though, she's fake. No matter how she feels inside she will never show it. Her dog could probably die and nobody would have an inkling. Hiding her emotions and never letting them control her has been both an asset and a chore. As far as other people are concerned though, It's probably a good thing. Putting people first, Sahara is always trying to pick up people around her and make them feel better it. Be it a joke of just a listening ear she isn't satisfied until she makes them feel better. Luckily she has a talent for achieving it. She herself has a very open mind and will laugh at almost anything remotely funny, and even some things normal people wouldn't find funny. It's that kind of bubbly happy person that people are attracted too.
That being said, inside Sahara is different. Still a happy person she would prefer to just be left alone most of the time. When in private she loves to read fantasy and supernatural books. A bit of a nerd she won't admit it but she is exceptionally good at anything computer related. She has her stash of Comic books and even a pair of Harry Potter Glasses, Wand, and Cape. Instead of the girl who loves brand name stuff and shopping, Sahara will change from her preppy attire into jeans and a T-shirt as soon as she gets home. Of course, that is only behind closed doors. To the rest of the world she is the happy prep.
As far as men go, Sahara has had her share of dating. She's made out before, she enjoys flirting and teasing and to her it's just a fun game. However, she is still a virgin. It isn't that she is saving it for that special someone, she's just never really got around to it. Well, that and she has a small issue. Though she is normally outgoing around guys just as she is around girls, as soon as they make a move she becomes terribly shy. Shy and awkward. The same goes for if she likes them. It's pretty easy to tell because she'll try to avoid them or just blush like crazy when she's around them. Love is something she is still undecided about, as she's never seen any proof of it with her own parents, but doesn't want to give up on it just yet. Inside you could say she's secretly waiting for her prince but is about to throw away her invitation to the ball.
HISTORY
MOTHER: Judy Brooke King, 46
FATHER: Ray Rae King, 50.
PETS: Butter, Dog.
RELATIONSHIP STATUS AND HISTORY: Sahara has always been popular, so it's only natural that she's dated quite a few times. Unfortunately nothing has lasted. They either get sick of the way she's too shy to even imitate a Kiss, or they don't have any real chemistry. She has been cheated on twice, but has never been cruel enough to return the favor. In all, she seems to have bad luck in the romance field.
HISTORY:
Sahara was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. Her mother is an Actor and her Father is the head of a branch of EMI Records. For most kids, growing up with an immense amount of money would be a blessing. To Sahara, it was a curse. See, the one thing that Sahara wanted was the one thing Money couldn't buy her. A family. It started when she was in preschool and noticed all the kids being picked up by their parents and led away hand in hand, always talking about getting ice cream or stopping by the park to play. Sahara wanted to be like that but unfortunately she was stuck waiting for a nanny or a hired help to come and pick her up, leading her with a straight back and her hands folded in front of her like a proper young lady. She grew up like that. Waiting on the corner outside of the school for her parents to show up, watching other kids be affectionate... they never came.
That isn't to say she doesn't get along with her parents. She loves them, and they see her as the perfect child: rewarding her with money and gifts but never realizing that all she wanted, and still wants, is a family. She wants for her parents to be home more than once a year and to celebrate her birthday by spending an evening with them on the couch.
Waiting for them to pick her up however, was how Sahara got in trouble one day. It was 5th grade and she was standing out on the curb waiting like normal, when a black SUV pulled up and told her that she was taking her home. Sahara was used to strangers picking her up so even though it wasn't the normal car, she climbed in obediently. And then, everything went black. When she woke up she was in a dark room, a cellar of some type. Her memory of the next week was bad. She remembers darkness, and a lady's face. It turned out Sahara had been kidnapped and the motive was revenge, not money. Why exactly she was kidnapped she doesn't know even t this day and prefers to be kept in the dark as to what exactly drove a middle aged woman to kidnapping.
Finally, after a week of being frightened and kept in a cold room Sahara woke up to hear sirens. It seemed whoever it was who kidnapped her had been found out. Unfortunately, he sirens spooked the woman and next thing Sahara remembered she was being pulled up by the elder woman, who had a gun in hand. It was the only near-death experience Sahara has ever had. When she thought for sure she was going to be killed, the woman lowered the gun and just smiled. Sahara remembers that and the next few incidents clear as day. At he exact moment the woman lowered the gun the door to the cellar burst open and police filed in, guns raised.
The kidnapper raised the gun once more but this time it wasn't at Sahara, but at herself. Sahara witnessed death the first and last time that day. She has never forgotten the sight of blood, and while she's generally recovered from the abduction with few side-effects nightmares do occasionally come to her when she'll wake up crying and screaming and that is the only time her powers really get out of control. Her power being Ice manipulation. She doesn't know if she was late or early with her powers, but a fortnight after the abduction, Sahara woke up screaming with a nightmare of the dead Mrs. Her parents rushed in and found her bead was freezing cold. Slowly over the course of a year the room would get colder and colder without her meaning to do it, until one time her entire bed was covered in ice. Her parents kept it on the down-low, not letting a soul know what was wrong with her.
After that, Sahara started to work in private to freeze simple things from water or vapor to making ice form on objects. She never had full control on her powers, but that didn't bother her until her sophomore year of high school. She was being perused by a boy, and her shyness took hold. Wanting to scape him she ran out by the school's pool. The boy followed and they talked for a little bit. When he tried to make a move on her though, Sahara got shy again and moved away. Unfortunately, that left the boy falling into the pool. With her emotions already unstable, she frantically tried to move for him, but when she did she activated her powers and the area of water he was in froze.
Of course the incident was reported to her parents and Sahara is still angry at herself for that. Then, they made a choice. Hearing about the Academy, they decided it would be better to ship her off there than to have her risk publicity. Negative publicity.
