PERSONALITY
ADDICT ,
Dakota gets addicted to things easily. It's one of the things she's inherited from her mother. And she honestly means no harm by it. She just honestly can't really help it at all. Hence why she had easily picked up that habit of drinking by the age of thirteen, and swore to never do anything harder than that. She's heard the stories her mother has told her about her teenage years, about the drugs. Things just change easily though and she soon became addicted to cocaine by the age of fifteen. No matter how much people who know tell her to stop (along with herself at times) she can't seem to quit that habit.

Drugs aren't the only thing she gets addicted to. No. Certain habits and people are things she gets addicted to as well. Though it's a different time of addiction, it still counts in her mind. But change isn't exactly Miss Dakota's favorite thing in the world, and she likes to keep the things the same all the time. The world seems to have different plans for that though.

DORK ,
She is a giant dork. There's really just no question about it. She does things at random, without much thinking most of the time. She's known to act completely ghetto, mockingly. Basically, she's not afraid to do anything. And she's pretty much done it all. She's pretty good at making people laugh. Well, she tries to at least when she's in the right type of mood for it. And also, to be honest, she's not afraid to make herself look like a complete idiot in order for her to cheer someone else as well.

This can also be part of the random impulses she gets. For instance, she'll randomly attack someone. Or no reason at all. Sometimes it'll be a person she's talking to, or just a random person walking by. But these events are very random.

And she doesn't know why she gets them. But they sort of make this girl what she is: random. And to be honest, she can't suppress them either. When she tries to ignore them, they just grow more and more. Eventually she'll have to give into them. Eventually.

LOUD ,
Naturally, she is an outgoing person. She's a love life type of girl and just likes to have fun with everything. Well, at least she tries to. But she can usually be found making a fool out of herself and just acting like a complete nutcase. But hey, she's having fun. That's all that matters to her. After all, life can't be too much if you're always done and out. Why not make the most of it? That's her thinking, and she does live up to it most of the time anyway. Though, it doesn't always work. But then again, that may be why she had started doing the drugs. You know, the reason she's not exactly sure of.

At times, during a high, or a drunken state, she talks a lot. Most of the time it's not even a coherent sentences at all. Most of the time it's just a bunch of random nonsense that falls out of her lips. And sometimes, she can usually be found sneaking off to revive the high. Not because she needs to, but just because she likes it.

INDEPENDENT ,
Dakota is a really independent person. She usually refuses any sort of help from anyone about anything. Seriously, she just feels that if something is put in front of her, she can do it herself. With absolutely no one else's help. And even when she knows she needs help, she refuses. Hence why she's never gone to rehab for her addiction. She wants to prove to someone, anyone, that she can do it herself. It doesn't seem like it should be that difficult.

Another thing about her, is that she hates "trends." At times it may not seem like it, but she really does. She doesn't do things, or wear things, just because other people are doing it. She does it because that's what she likes and what's she's comfortable with.

CARING ,
She also likes to help people. She hates seeing her friends depressed or down or anything like that. And she really does try her best to help them, even if it's territory she has not idea what to do. But it's the thought that counts right? And if it has something to do with someone hurting her friend, she'll usually hunt the person down and bitch them out. Which will sometimes makes the problem worse.

But she tries to make things better. And yes, she fails at it at times. Opps.

And with herself or with her friends and family, she will be protective. She hates seeing anyone close to her hurt, and will usually go after a person if they have hurt one of them. And she tries her best to keep friends safe, as lame as that sounds. But she hates seeing people down and out. It's a little pet peeve of hers.

She will try to help anyone she can (as stated above), though she doesn't know how to sometimes.

HISTORY
BEFORE ,
Really it all started at a rave one night, thirty hears ago. The two "young adults" were having the time of their lives (and not just because they were high as fuck either).The two had come separately, but had left together. And it really just started as a drunken one night stand, but waking up in a different bed, Greta jump started what was the a great series of hook ups. Well, that was in their minds at least. The two were never serious. At least they weren't until five years later when Greta found herself pregnant with Jonathan's child.

Greta gave birth to a little baby boy twenty five years ago. The little boy was named Dodger Benjamin. The name was a little bit of a last minute thing and really wasn't put much thought into. It was only a name for jokes. Neither one of them expected to keep the baby; they had just expected to give him to the adoption agency. Though, once Greta saw the boy's small, fragile being, she couldn't let him go (as it was the case for many women in the situation). The couple argued for a while over where the baby would go. In the end, she won and they soon brought home baby Dodger. Though the home wasn't really much, just a small apartment that was barely enough for even Greta and Jonathan.

Life was content for the little family for the most part. Little Dodger was happy and joyful much like most young kids were. But he was completely oblivious to the whole concept that his parents were fighting a lot of the time. It was just something that was normal for him than anything. Though, they mostly fought while he was asleep, safe and sound inside of his bed. Thought, the two parents weren't officially together. They were only together for the baby, which wouldn't be recommended by for anyone.

Neither one would learn to fully love the other until eight years later, when Greta became pregnant once again.

BIRTH ,
On April 20th some seventeen years ago, Greta was in the hospital once again. This birth was much, much easier for her however (not that there's anything to brag about it for). But anyway. Within ten hours, their new little baby girl was born.

This time, they had a name for their little baby girl. After all, they had made the decision long ago that they were going to keep the baby. And they just happened for discuss a name for her.

"I love you, Dakota Anita" were her mother's first actual words to her. And she meant them with every bone in her body.

CHILDHOOD ,
If you asked Dakota, she would say that she had a rather normal childhood. She meant to school like most other kids did. She was an energetic little girl. Though, what kids aren't? It was in kindergarten where she found her first best friend, Ryan Timberlake. The two were inseparable, attached at the hip. Her mother always had a smile on her face when they saw them together. Her father on the other hand was a little protective. Yes, the two were young and didn't understand anything that could eventually happen between them.

He still worried though.

There were also times where the two weren't together. During this moments, the little girl would try to go play with her older brother. Every time she was pushed away. Dodger just stayed in his room and slam the door in her face. As time went out, she eventually gave up on trying to do things with him. But she never missed the almost hurt look in his eye every time he looked at her after.

TRAGEDIES ,

Around the time of her eighth birthday, the question of marriage between her parents was in the air.The idea was never fully brought through though, as they continuously had arguments about it. Also around that time, was when her brother started to seclude himself more so than usual. This worried everyone in the family, but no one was sure of what to do. They all tried various different things like offering him some of his favorite things if he did.

Problem with that was that no one was exactly sure what he liked.

Then happened "the night," as she refers to it inside of her head. Dakota was with Ryan the night he died. It was the night of his ninth birthday, and they were at his house, on his roof to be exact. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It wasn't the safest place for two kids less than the age of thirteen, but his parents were deep asleep and they wanted to look out at the stars.

She's not a hundred percent sure what happened; shes' tried to block the whole memory out of her head. All she remembers was the sound of a gun being fired, and the thud of the body next to hers falling. It had happened too fast, and they were far, far too young. And she did the only thing she could do: scream. In the end, it had gotten the attention of his parents (who held her closely when they found out had happened, of course after checking their son).

One thing about this night, is that she's never talked to anyone about it. Not even the police when they questioned her. Every time they asked her, she always replied with the same answer: she didn't know who did it.

Though, she couldn't get rid of the familiar face that she had also seen that night.

TEENAGER ,

She tried to grow up normally since that night. It had been a hard thing though, much like it always is after seeing someone you love die. And it didn't help much that her brother went missing the next day as well.

For a majority of the time though, she spent it like a normal person would. She spent mights at her friends out, going out on dates, going to parties (when she reached the teenage years at least). At the age of thirteen, she found herself drinking a lot. Not that she exactly found it to be too uncommon, and, besides, she never left herself get too drunk. That was until she was at a party at the age of fourteen.

Long story short: alcohol makes people do stupid shit. Why else would she lose her virginity to (then) boyfriend's best friend?

Well, you could say she's learned from that. She doesn't really drink as much, even if it almost seems like there's always a drink in her hand, but she definitely hasn't slept with anyone sense (or so she recalls).

At the age of fifteen though, it was a little bit of a different story. That was the year she first got addicted to a little drug called cocaine. There was no real purpose for her getting into it, or addicted to it other than the fact she was curious.

The first time she tried it, was at party during her sophomore year. A man named "Tito" offered it to her. Yeah, she's not the brightest candle on the cake, but she took the drug without much thought.

Since then she's been addicted to it, but she won't admit it. Nor will she tell anyone about it. Once or twice, she has tried to quit it, but the hunger for the high grew more and more until she finally caved in and went rushing to "Tito."

Maybe, part of her hopes, she'll be able to fight the little addiction. But by the looks of it, that won't be any time soon. Especially with her ability to spend most of her work's pay over to Tito.
