Jubilee

Jubilee is a homeless teen, living in the Westfield Shopping Mall in New York city. Sometimes people see her hanging out during the day in the mall, looking trendy and hanging out with other mallrats. She talks like a California Valley Girl, and not much else is known about her at the moment. In actuality she lives in the mall by night, stealing what she needs to get by, or to simply enjoy herself.

Background
Jubilation Lee was born sixteen years ago in Beverly Hills, California. Her parents were both doctors, working at an expensive hospital that tended to lean towards the wealthy Beverly Hills crowd. She was born into luxury, and little was out of her grasp. She was very close with her parents, and spent as much time with eachother as she could, though they worked a lot.

Even when she was little, Jubilee was addicted to shopping. Her chauffer would take her out constantly to visit the most expensive shops, and bought everything she wanted. She had expensive toys and clothes. She was popular with kids her own age, and became head of the little popular girl clique by the time she started Elementary School. When she started school she discovered her issue with numbers, and she did everything she could to pretend she was 'too cool' to learn. Well, it worked and she drew even more friends.

When she started Middle School her parents encouraged extra curriculr activities to make her future application for a good college look better. She tried several clubs and teams, but nothing seemed fun or interesting to her. Finally, in eight grade she discovered gymnastics, and really enjoyed it. She turned out to be really, really good. Her activity on the team made her even -more- popular, and she enjoyed it, so she kept doing it. As school progressed she got better and better, and kept her grades just high enough to stay on the team. Her team won numerous championships, mainly in part to her ability.

She began attending Beverly Hills High, and suddenly found herself on the bottom of the totem pole, being a freshman. She was only just beginning to take it all in and deal with it when everything fell apart. She came home one day to find police cars all around her house, and discovered that her parents had been murdered. The police had no idea what had occured, but it appeared to be a professinal murder. Jubilee was put into an orphanage, and hated every moment of it. While she was still reeling from her parents death, she had to deal with living in an orphanage with NO SPENDING MONEY!

She could only deal with it for so long, before a pair of lovely parents began considering adopting her. Before the papers were finalized, however, Jubilee fled. She began heading east, wanting to get as far away from the memory of her parents as possible. She was in Houston when a man found her on the street, and offered her a place to stay. Being naive at the time...she accepted.

The man took her back to his home and drugged her. When she woke up she was locked up in his basement. It became very clear that the man was a -very- bad man, and was planning to do something horrible to her. When he came down the stairs, however, she was panicked. She felt a surge of power and lashed out, exploding the man completely. She was horrified by it, but then used her newfound abilities to destroy her bindings. She started moving from town to town, still heading east. She continued using her new powers, but not to break into places, and steal what she needed to get by (Or more).

She went from town to town, trying her best to survive, until she reached New York City. There she found a large mall and began to live there, mallratting during the day, and hiding out at night to sleep.

Personality
Spunky: Jubilee is a hyper, cheerful girl. She's hard to get down, even with everything going wrong in her young life. She tends to do what she can to keep her spirits up. Others often see her as cheerful and fun, while others find her general attitude to be very annoying.

Involved: Jubilee wants to be involved. She can't stand being on the sidelines during any exciting event. She does what she can to get herself involved, sometimes by attaching herself like a leech to someone in the thick of things. When something is just starting up and there isn't someone to attach to, she'll try to be the one in charge.

Scared: Jubilee needs friends. When she first meets someone, however, she tends to overdo it. She's usually afraid someone won't like her, so she often comes off rather strong. If someone is angry, she often assumes that someone is mad at her, and she isn't very good at getting back in someones good graces. Pranks and jokes are one of her main ways, and usually it tends to push someone farther away.

Valley Girl: Jubilee is from Beverly Hills, and it shows. Before ending up on the streets she lived in a huge house, had pool parties, went to a fancy school and shopped EVERYWHERE. She still has a hard time getting out of the mindset. She likes expensive things and trendy stuff, and the way she talks is very Valley Girl. She isn't exactly an extra from Clueless, as she's isn't a ditz, but she likes a lot of the same things.
