NICKNAMES. Jenny, Little J, Little Humphrey
AGE & DATE OF BIRTH. 15 (March 25th 1993)
SEXUALITY. Straight
FACE CLAIM. Taylor Momsen[/size][/ul]
` i'll be waiting,
WEIGHT. 107lbs
TATTOOS & PIERCINGS. No tattoos, but both ears are pierced twice.
DISTINGUISHING FEATURES. Big eyes and her height (in comparison to her peers).
PHYSICAL FLAWS. Scrawny limbs, bitten and poor-growing nails, untameable hair.
PERSONAL STYLE. Jenny likes to keep up with fashion like the other girls in her school, and so she will do her best to fit in with what they are wearing. Because she does not have the money to shop where they do, however, a lot of her clothing is self-made - she will find things she likes in stores and then sew something similar. She also often wears pendants that are indicative of her current state of mind.[/size][/ul]
` lace up your shoes,
DISLIKES. Being poor, feeling left out, being treated like a child, vodka, disappointing people especially her family, homework, thrift stores, keeping secrets, feeling torn between two or more sides, spiders, cats (she's allergic).
STRENGTHS. She's a very talented seamstress, she's incredibly determined and she's not afraid to go for what she wants.
WEAKNESSES. She's somewhat naive, and is something of a pushover especially when it comes to doing whatever it takes to fit in. She's also not particularly good at keeping secrets.
GOALS. To become a part of the in-crowd, to work in fashion some day.
FEARS. The effects of her parents' divorce, being a social outcast, letting her family down.
SECRETS. She pawns off things she owns so she can afford more expensive things like the other girls. Even with all that's happened, she still wants her parents to get back together and for things to be the way they were before.
OVERALL. Jenny Humphrey may be little, but she certainly dreams big. Having been introduced, through her attendance at Constance Billard, to the lives of the Upper East Siders, she is no longer content to be the poor daughter of a failed rock-star who is unable to afford what she feels she needs to be like the other girls at her school.
Jenny has definitely inherited the artist gene from her parents - she loves to sing, to do calligraphy and most especially she loves to make clothes. Her sewing machine is forever in use as she creates her own versions of clothes she wishes she was able to afford. However, she also has the artist's temperament and is prone to dramatic outbursts and/or sulking when she doesn't get her own way.
Jenny is an incredibly determined and resourceful girl, and is not afraid to do whatever it takes to get what she wants. Whether it's offering her calligraphy skills in exchange for an invite to the hottest parties or finding just the right boyfriend to secure her social status, Jenny will not hesitate to use anything at her disposal to help her achieve her goals. This can even lead to her being a little deviant at times, as she is desperate to prove she is on a par with all the rich kids and does everything she can to hide her more humble upbringing.
However, Jenny is incredibly naive which means she is often used by those more manipulative than her (while she can be manipulative, she really doesn't enjoy it as much as people like Blair). Because she is incredibly easy to read (it is very rare that something she's supposed to keep secret stays secret, as she cannot cope with the pressures of having to lie to people she cares about. She also has a tendency to just keep talking when she's nervous, which doesn't help.) this leads to people, especially Blair, taking advantage of Jenny because they know her desire for social status outweighs (usually) her moral core.
Beneath all of this, however, Jenny is at heart a family girl. The separation of her parents hit her hard, and she was devastated when she learnt that the split was final. She also, however much she might bait him, is incredibly close to Dan and he is usually her first port of call when she needs help, whether that's picking out a dress or being rescued from Chuck Bass.[/size][/ul]

OTHER FAMILY . N/A
HISTORY . Jennifer Humphrey is the youngest child and only daughter of Rufus and Allison Humphrey. Born in the Spring of 1993 (two years after her brother Dan), Jenny was blessed with a devoted family from the start. Although Rufus was still, at this stage, living the rock lifestyle with Lincoln Hawk (though in honesty, by now the fame from their one hit was beginning to wane), it was clear that the adults' lives ultimately revolved around the children and Jenny was also lucky enough to have a big brother who wanted to protect her rather than drown her.
Her parents' careers clearly had a strong influence on Jenny from an early age - almost as soon as she could talk, she was forever singing nursery rhymes to herself (or making up her own versions, much to Dan's chagrin - he was forever trying to correct her, but she blissfully ignored him) and she loved sitting anywhere with paper and some crayons - most especially, she loved to sit with her mother while she was painting and do some drawing or painting of her own. Oh yes, even from an early age Jenny wanted to be just like everyone around her and to impress the people she cared about.
Starting at the same elementary school as Dan, Jenny was quick to realise that her brother was not exactly Mr Popular. Jenny didn't want to be like that. While Dan may have been happy enough to keep himself to himself, Jenny wanted friends. She wanted to be invited to birthday parties and whisper secrets with other girls. In short, she wanted to be liked and so she would talk to pretty much anyone. At the same time, her parents and Dan were forever impressing on her the importance of good grades, especially once Dan started middle school and got his scholarship to St Jude's.
A couple of years later, Jenny was enrolled at Constance Billard middle school - she was eligible for an arts partial scholarship and her parents felt it would be unfair to deny Jenny the same level of education as her brother. And while Dan detested the people he called classmates, Jenny was excited to be attending the same school as all the glamorous kids she read about on Gossip Girl.
It was around this point that Jenny made her first faltering forays into sewing - being surrounded by girls who seemed to have a different pair of shoes every day made Jenny realise that fashion was going to be of utmost importance if she was ever to fit in at Constance, and since her parents could hardly afford to pay the megabucks on clothing that her classmates clearly did, Jenny took matters into her own hands. She started small, but her parents could tell she had found her true artistic niche and so, on her twelfth birthday, she was presented with her very own sewing machine so that she could tackle bigger projects.
Jenny found middle school fairly easy, socially. No-one, especially Gossip Girl, really pays any attention to the younger years and the pressure doesn't truly start until High school. Nonetheless, Jenny was incredibly excited - becoming a freshman meant she could finally try to befriend the people she idolised most - Serena Van Der Woodsen may have left, but Blair Waldorf had enough of everything Jenny wanted to be for the younger girl to want to be a part of her circle.
The summer before she started, however, her family life suffered a blow that would have devastating consequences for Jenny. Her mother declared that she was going to Hudson for "a break", and not having her mother at home was difficult for Jenny. While Dan did everything he could to be supportive of her, and to fill in as Mom when it came to shopping for clothes and other girlie stuff, Jenny still wished that her mother was around - being a teenage girl in a house with just her father and brother was hardly the easiest thing in the world. And so Jenny clung to her mother's constant promise that she would be home after the summer, even as summer turned into the new school year.
Jenny was determined not to let her home life ruin her time as Freshman, and she threw her energies into doing whatever she thought would impress the older girls. It didn't take long - during one art lesson, one of her classmates noticed that Jenny had a particular knack for calligraphy. Soon enough, Jenny was being approached by none other than Blair Waldorf herself, who promised Jenny an invitation to her very first Upper East Side party - Kiss On The Lips - if she would make all of the invitations. Somewhat starstruck and eager to please, Jenny immediately agreed.
The party was hardly Jenny's finest hour - naive and eager to fit in, she allowed Chuck Bass to seduce her away from the main party and ended up having to call on Dan - interrupting his date with his dream girl and her idol Serena - to rescue her. Nonetheless, she had gotten a taste of what it was to be from the Upper East Side and, the very next day, she sought out Blair to see if the incident with Chuck had caused her any damage. Blair warned her of the downsides to being one of the elite, but Jenny didn't care and was delighted when Blair gave her one of the dresses her mother had designed.
She was even more thrilled when Blair asked her to take Serena's place at the annual soiree, not realising that none of Blair's friends expected her to last more than an hour. However, although uneasy at first Jenny soon settled into the game of Dares between herself and Blair, breaking Eric out of the Ostroff Center and partying far more than was maybe right for a fourteen year old. She even agreed to Blair's dare to steal a jacket from Eleanor's store, not realising she was being set-up. When police showed up, she told them she was Blair and persuaded them to let her go before returning to Blair's and showing that this little Humphrey was not the pushover she appeared to be.
Thus saw the start, however subtle, of the power struggle between Blair and Jenny. When Blair told Jenny she was not invited to the Masquerade Ball she'd been helping Blair out with, Jenny - with the help and persuasion of Vanessa - snuck in, with this resulting in an unintentional kiss with Nate. Jenny tried to keep this from Blair, but was ultimately found out and dismissed, much to her dismay. With her social life looking bleak, Jenny's attention turned to fixing her own family, going to Hudson and bringing Allison home.
For a time, it seemed that all would be well, but it was clear that Jenny had grown apart from her mother. This cumulated in her missing her mother's art exhibition to help out with cotillion, further angering her mother as it was Lily Van Der Woodsen she was helping. Nonetheless, Jenny was still heartbroken when, on Christmas Day, her mother confirmed that she was moving back to Hudson and that she and Rufus were splitting for good.
Things weren't so good at school either. Though Blair had allowed Jenny back into the fold after cotillion, it was clear that she was determined to keep Jenny down. So when Jenny overheard Serena mention that Blair had slept with both Nate and Chuck, and the subsequent Gossip Girl update broke out, Jenny sought out Nate - who she had become close to on the night of Blair's seventeenth birthday party - and told him the truth. And as Blair's friends turned on her, Jenny was cautiously thrilled that they welcomed her into their group in Blair's place, with Hazel even inviting her to spend Spring Break with her and her family.
The end of Spring Break sees Jenny with the very thing she dreamed of - friendship with and membership of the elite. But to keep up with them, she's forced to sell whatever she can - including her beloved sewing machine - to finance the right appearance. Her fifteenth birthday proves to be her downfall - a more together Blair arranges, with Rufus, a surprise birthday party that's far from the glamorous night Jenny wanted. And when it's discovered that she stole a dress from Hazel's mother and Rufus subsequently grounds her, it looks as if Jenny's hopes have been lost for good.
But Jenny is a Humphrey and the Humphreys - at least this generation - don't give up without a fight and she uses her friendship with Nate to get herself back in the game. Thus the power struggle reaches its highest peak with Jenny gamely trying to keep up with Blair despite not being able to afford home spa treatments and tutors. To aid her position, Jenny decides to look for a boyfriend and thinks she's hit the jackpot when cute rich guy Asher shows an interest. Once again, though, Jenny's too blinded by her quest for popularity to realise that Asher is using her as a cover for his true sexuality and, when Blair uses this information to destroy Jenny's reputation once and for all, it's all too much. Jenny goes to Blair's and tells her she's done. Done with losing the respect of her family to gain the acceptance of people who always seem to have an agenda.
Having conceded defeat, Jenny throws herself back into her true passion - making clothes. She makes Vanessa's dress for Lily and Bart's wedding (though she herself is still grounded and unable to go) and hopes to get a summer internship with a fashion house. She does - with Eleanor Waldorf designs. Looks like interesting times are in store for Little J.[/size][/ul]
` here's the countdown,
READ THE RULES . - admin edit -
READY TO BE ACCEPTED? I am indeed now ready.
RP SAMPLE . This is a sample from another game where I play Georgina Sparks:
"Well, if it isn't the biggest asshole in New York."
Already tense, the arrival of Chuck into the mix was not something Georgina wanted to handle. Not after their last encounter where he had gotten her so worked up, it had taken everything she'd had not to tear up her hotel room. There was just something about him that let him get under her skin, pushing buttons that not even Queen Bitch could manage.
"Yeah well, lucky for you I'm not planning on keeping too close to you for too long." She shot him a defiant look. "It's not you I came here for. Believe it or not, I don't really care what you think of me." It was a lie, but Georgina was well-practiced and she was damned if she was going to let jackass Bass see how much he bothered her. At least, not unless she was allowed to push him under a bus afterwards.
As Chuck leant in for the door, closing the distance between them, Georgina instinctively backed away. Where once she had indulged her whimsical fantasy of getting up close and personal with Chuck again, his recent attitude had pushed those thoughts far, far away. Besides, she'd done some digging in the Gossip Girl archives and there was no way in hell she was going to give Miss Bitch Waldorf any further ammunition over her.
Fortunately, the most she had to endure of Contamination by Bass was the brief moment where he passed by her just a little more closely than was comfortable. Still, she fought hard to keep her temper in check. If things were ever going to be right between her and S, waging war on her new step-brother was not going to make for a good convincer, no matter how assholeish he was.
Now, she was faced with an open door and Chuck's pathetic attempt at a threat. That nagging doubt began to creep in again - maybe she should turn back after all. There was still time. But then, another thought crept in. Chuck knew she was there, which meant in about thirty seconds' time so would everyone else. If she left, she had little doubt that Chuck would turn their short encounter into something more, something that would make her out to be just the same evil, manipulative psycho that she'd always been. Even if she was still that same person, she wasn't about to let him slander her when she'd done nothing wrong. Yet.
Taking a deep breath and forcing a calm demeanor once again, Georgina walked into the house and immediately glanced around for Serena. Unable to resist - and wanting to grab Serena's attention before Chuck could unleash his venom - she called out, "Hey, Sweetie. I'm home."
