Carmen Boone

carmen is, ESSENTIALLY, just like most other teens her age. the seventeen year old works a part-time job as a waitress at the mystic grill and attends the local high school where she is a cheerleader and tennis player.
being very much an introvert, carmen has not made any friends since her arrival in the small town last year. well, besides her father, that is. charles boone, carmen's father, is her only living relative. charles boone is mystic falls' only orthodontist after taking over previous doctor's practice when they moved. after her mother's death, from a car accident when carmen was nine, the two became very close, bonding over their shared werewolf gene. the man took to calling his daughter 'carma', a reminder that her situation is a result of her actions.

AT FIRST GLANCE, one would see a mature, average girl. carmen is about average in stature at five foot five and one hundred ten pounds. her hair, which nearly reaches her waist, is one of the only fairly abnormal feature about her. it is a blend of red, ash, and blonde, setting her apart, slightly, from the typical blondes and burnettes. the other distinguishing feature is her eyes. carmen was given the typical grey boone eyes that all werewolves in the family possess. surprisingly, for her light complexion, carmen has very few freckles. she does, however, have many scars, mostly from sport-related injuries.

as far as her DISPOSITION AND CHARACTER goes, carmen has always had a very strong moral compass. she also possesses a strong sense of logic. in a battle between the two, it is a toss up between which comes out on top. the young lady tends to be very tolerant and diplomatic, avoiding confrontation at all costs. in order to accomplish this, carmen tends to repress her own emotions in favor of those around her. this has caused her to become a bit of a liar in that she will omit certain parts in order to give others what they want to hear. when she isn't telling the whole truth, carmen has a tendency to twirl her hair.

the young woman has spent nearly half her life as a werewolf. she has been ACTIVE since she was nine years old and she caused her mother's car accident. her mother had been getting home from the hospital after a doctor's appointment for a sonogram. carmen had been home alone and thought she heard noises. when her mother arrived home she ran outside and into the street. her mother swerved to avoid her daughter {carmen} and hit a telephone pole and died in the hospital the next day.
carmen was recently turned into a hybrid by klaus. as in, just a few days previous. although, she is a new hybrid, carmen has exhibited extreme self control and no sire bonding which may be due to the fact that she never minded being a werewolf and sees her situation as an just another trial to overcome rather than a gift, as most hybrids see their immortality.
