About[]
History[]
River's account name is LorenlyLoren on the U.S. server, My Candy Love.
River's parents passed away, while she was in middle school, during a horrible car wreck. Her grandparent's excuse for not taking her in was that they were "too old to take care of a child". With no other close relatives, River was placed in the foster system. Because of her attitude and demand for justice, she was in and out of many homes. In one instance, her foster father was talking bad about River's birth parents and hurting another smaller foster child in the house. To 'teach him a lesson' she introduced him to her baseball bat. This landed her in Juvenal Hall. Two years ago she was fostered by Richard and his three sons. Since then, she had felt more at home than she had in a long time. The boys loved her and her passion for sports. She quickly became a role model to the children and is now being adopted in the winter.
School Life[]
On River's first day at Sweet Amoris, she arrived extremely early and passed out at the school entrance. She was awoken to Kim, telling her that someone had drawn a red mustache on her upper lip. All of the students that passed her that morning laughed and thought of her as a loser. That is, until she met Amber and realized she was the one who embarrassed her. She quickly became violent with the girl, as well as yell at Nathaniel. This quickly changed most of the students opinions of her to either reflect fear or think of her as crazy. As the year progresses, most students are coming to realize River's happier side, leading them to like the girl. Her baseball talents were recognized quickly and River is now the Captain of the Baseball Team.
Appearance[]

River's hair is naturally blonde. It is usually worn in a pony tail, messy bun or her signature bun bow. For the simple reason that she hates when her hair touches her shoulders. She has light blue eyes with a blue-green ring around her pupil. Though she is pale in complexion, she tans very easily. She does have tons of freckles. She is usually covered in scrapes, bruises, scars and band aids due to the viciousness of her favorite sport. Though her hair is blonde, her eyebrows are naturally a dark brown. Though River is toned, she struggles with her weight. For a long time after her parents died, she refused to eat. Even now she still forgets her need for food. As for her style, River is an extreme tomboy and loved baggy clothes and the grunge look when she was younger. Being picked on in group homes, she became self conscious about her choice of clothes. A few other girls decided to help her dress more 'girly'.
River's Middle Back Tattoo given to her by an ex girlfriend.
Since then, she now wears her least favorite color (pink)with a splash of grunge. She tends to wear more revealing clothing so that 'I can play better'. She wears a custom baseball glove on her right arm and hand that her foster father gave her when she first moved in with them. Over time and use it has become worn.
She also has one tattoo. One of her ex girlfriends gave to her while she was in a group home. She basically said “What do you think of me?”. The Indian girl had a fascination with Mandalas and thought River was beautiful. She gave her a Mandala with a rose draped with a string pearls in the middle of her back.
Her voice claim is Madilyn Bailey.
Personality[]
River is the sarcastic girl that most people don’t have a problem with. She is dependable, persistent, energetic, loyal, and generous. She always speaks her mind and is often as honest as possible. Though, it may take a while to see through her sarcastic in-your-face attitude, deep down she is a good person. Her flaws, however, are that she is stubborn and has an awful temper. She is also know to quickly resort to violence with people that are not friends nor loved ones. However, River has a need for justice. She's always quick to jump in if someone is being treated unjustly. Especially if it's a loved one.
Friends and Family[]
Castiel[]
River and Cassy. Drawn by A-i-d-e-n of tumblr.
Castiel was one of the first students to speak to River after her move to Sweet Amoris. After blowing up on Nathaniel, River searched the school for the baseball field. Shortly after locating the field, Castiel showed up and offered to pitch to her, sparking her interest in him. They've been growing increasingly close from the homecoming party, with all the incidents it ensued, and seeing each other everyday in class. Often, they spend time driving around town on his motorcycle, chilling at his house watching movies or just going on some crazy adventure River

thought up. They both share in sarcastic and tough qualities. But, they both like each other for their wits and softer sides. Castiel fell for her for the fact that she's sweet, tough and real. The more involved they get, the more they realize how much they want to help one another tear down their walls.
Admin note: I always draw Cassy with a man bun. Because not only does he like his hair up, River likes to put it up for him.
Lysander[]
Lysander and River met through the party on homecoming night. River convinced him to drink and afterwards they spoke of their passions and honesty. They've slowly been developing their friendship since then. Lysander often joins River at the batting cages for inspiration and River attends all of his and Castiel's concerts.

Nathaniel[]
River and Nathaniel mutually dislike each other. River is loud, a slacker, vulgar and with Castiel. Nathaniel is stuck way too far up the school's butt, he's a know it all and seems a touch devious. Nathaniel is the only person in the school that knows of her being a foster child, due to her records. Later in their story, Nathaniel realizes this and basically uses it to blackmail River.

Dake came onto River at the homecoming party and freaked her out. Later on, River gives him a shot and creeps her out more by walking in on her changing, to which she nearly beat the living hell out of him. After that he apologized and River gave him one last shot to be friends, which he has taken seriously. He quit trying to go after her and offered to teach her surfing, which she has been working on. And they like to tan together.
Priya[]
Ever since Priya had moved to Sweet Amoris, River has been sweating anytime she's around. She thinks Priya is absolutely beautiful and is a tad bit sad that she's with Castiel... but not really. Her and Priya often talk about the different school they've been to and how traveling effected them.

Armin[]
River overheard Armin talking about Lord of the Rings to Kentin one day and instantly threw herself in the conversation. They're Lord of the Ring buddies but, that's it. Armin doesn't under stand her obsession with baseball and the outdoors, she doesn't understand how he can stay cooped up all day.

Foster Family[]
Two years ago River became the foster child of Richard Abott. A generous, kindhearted man whose wife passed away six years prior to their meeting. At first, Richard was leery of the girl with a past record of violence and juvey. Especially around his three younger sons. As opposed to Richard's first impression his youngest son Brian Abott, being the age of six, immediately liked River. He often followed her around asking all sorts of six year old questions. One day, Richard saw River open up to the small boy, going on and on about baseball. After realizing her passion, Richard began to take the family to play baseball on the weekends. The two older boys finally warmed up to her after realizing their shared love. River often teaches the oldest brother, Aiden the age of eleven, and the middle child, Ethan the age of nine, all she knows about baseball. The family has grown to love River and plans to adopt her in the winter time.
Her Obsession[]
River has an intense obsession with baseball. Not only does she play and has taught herself to learn every role on the field, she watches baseball games every week. She's currently teaching Aiden and Ethan how to pitch and what to do at short stop. She would be teaching Brian but, she get nervous about him playing with his rougher older brothers, so she plays catch with him often. Baseball is a form of stress relief for the girl. Anytime she's angry, sad or worried and can't do anything active to change it, she hits the batting cages until she's too physically exhausted to continue. Lysander often comes to the cages with her to get inspiration through her passion for the sport. She joins the baseball team at Sweet Amoris, being their lead pitcher and one of the best hitters. Her friends usually try to attend all the games, Castiel and Kim being particularly obnoxious in the bleachers with their big signs and air horns.
He obsession started as a child. Always playing and watching ball with her dad, but once she lost her parents, she really clung to the sports. She takes his old baseball bat everywhere and fought extremely hard to keep it during the move from many different foster homes.
