[Background]
Wiki Link

[Personality]
At first sight Carolyn is what you might call 'cold' or 'rebellious'. Both of which are 100% correct. She's not the type of girl that you'll see smiling for no reason or chirping happily about something that she liked. Rather she tends to keep a bit of calm, sarcastic exterior. More than often enough she'll carry a conversation only if wants too, mostly with a bored-like tone. Though she makes it obvious when she's attempted to erk someone or make a sarcastic comment. It doesn't take much to get on this girl's not caring side. She's the type of girl that doesn't like to be disturbed without reason, putting a 'keep out' sign on her door. She also tends to enjoy things that one would call rebellious, which includes cussing aloud or playing her music at the table. Carolyn also tends to act like she's in some type of trance upon occasions, or rather a drowsy attitude. In this attitude, she acts exactly the same otherwise. Slightly anti-social, sarcastic and mildly bored toned.

However that isn't the ends to Carolyn's personality. Dwelling further in, there are a few things that elicit more of a reaction. One of these being the city of New York, the place she plans to live in when she turns sixteen. When mentioned that Victoria came from New York, she became slightly enthusiastic explaining that she planned to live there. Music is another thing that she enjoys, becoming genuine happy when she learned that Alex Cooper was performing at her house. Though was she enjoying the party even beforehand. Carolyn is the type of girl that people tend to come to when it comes to style and help, Barnabas came to her for help with wooing Victoria and she also gave advice about his Ball. Suggesting that he called it a more modern term of Happening along with that Alex Cooper would be a nice addition. She's often seen watching television, listening to music and videos. The type of girl who likes to stay in touch with technology and what's new.

Though she doesn't seen to have any friends in the movie, Carolyn deeply cares for her family. She may call them names or talk about running away, but when it comes to it she'll fight for them. It was when her family was in danger that she finally showed that she was a werewolf and came down to fight Angie. Once you get to know and befriend her, she's not going to just leave you when you're in trouble. Carolyn may not be the friendliest girl, but she does care. Deep, deep, deep inside. She also hardly finds anything to much of a big deal, claiming that she was a werewolf wasn't even much of a big deal. She also didn't seem that interested when her 'cousin' suddenly arrived, only calling him both stoned and weird. Not to mention he was some random guy in the house.

Carolyn isn't the type to simply give away her secrets, she's also very good with hiding them. No one in her family knew she was a werewolf until the night she fought for them in that form, despite being bitten as a baby. She's also quite independent, not being one who needs others to help her. How else would she have been able to keep being a werewolf to herself since a child. This probably lead to her anti-social, drowsy-like, rude behavior. Carolyn actually doesn't like people ignoring that she exist, yelling at her family that no one cared how she felt when they were all babying her brother. She's not so independent that no one can know her and she can be happy, preferring to any interaction with others. She can easily get annoyed when people aren't including her in their conversation when she's there. This being one of the things that causes her to lose her cool. Within the movie, Carolyn is the character is supposed to represent the loneliness within a teenager. Along with the longing to be part of a normal family.

[Abilities]
Carolyn is a werewolf, meaning she turned into a wolfish creature whenever the night is full. Depicted in the film, she seems to be in full control whenever she turns. Meaning that she'll be in control in Somarium as well. Other than that, she doesn't have super strength or anything. Rather she's still a normal teenage girl. Except she's a werewolf.

[Other important stuff]

[Sample post]
[First Person]

- What were you doing before now?
Saving my family from some evil witch, that's all.

- Do you stand up against authority, go against all odds, and if you could, pierce the heavens with your fighting spirit? If not, would you if you could?
I'm moving to New York City once I turn sixteen against my mom's wishes, what does that tell you. Also, pierce the heavens with my fighting spirit. Are you high or something?

- If you could have any super ability, what would it be and why?
I'm a werewolf, [sarcastic] I think that's a supernatural ability.

- You're asked to take someone out for a date. Do you agree? If so, describe what you would do. If not, tell why.
Not interested, they're probably pretty lame anyways. [eye roll] Why would I even want to take someone out on a date.

- Murder. What is your opinion?
Murder? Seriously? I guess it isn't that bad. Or it is, my vampire 'cousin' has to kill people to live after all.

- What is more important to you: having friends or living on your own? Why?
Living on my own, that's what I plan to do anyways. I'm not a big fan on 'friends.'

- Do you prefer the city or living out in the country? Why?
[She rolls her eyes at the question.] Living in the city, or I want too. Living out in the country is so uncool.

- You're dirt poor and your family is starving. You have a chance to steal bread. Do you: a) ignore it and get a job, b) steal it anyway because you know you won't get caught, c) get caught but break out of prison anyway, d) steal it and then hide from the creepy cop that keeps stalking you, e) don't steal because stealing is wrong :(. Explain why you chose that option.
I'll say B. My family has endured enough that we can succeed on stealing bread. Or at least I can, my looney brother would probably get caught.dance or the most important person or thing will be destroyed. What do you end up dancing and to what music?

[Third Person]
Honestly she could not believe this. At all. Vampires, wick old ladies that look young, witches, werewolves; she knew that all existed but.. dream worlds. Dream worlds.. Nope, she could not bring herself to believe that. It sounded ridiculous. Ugh, why did she have this luck right after her family survived a life or death situation. Right after her mom figured out she was werewolve too. Well, at least she couldn't make a big deal over it.

Glancing out of her apartment building, Carolyn frowned. Okay, Somarium was not New York City but it did get her did sort of get what she wanted. She got 'ran away' from her family, into a dream world. Not exactly what she wanted, but she didn't have to wait until she was sixteen. Getting up from her chair with a slight huff, she closed the blinds. She was a werewolf, so if she was going to stay here she had to prepare herself. At least she didn't go crazy when it was a full moon like some people liked to think that werewolves did. She was in perfect control. Plus the fact that the full moon wasn't for a bit of time slightly helped.

"I still can't believe this is happening," She murmured to herself, landing on her bed this time. Also, if she was going to live here she needed to do some redecorating of this room. Honestly, she had already stayed in this bland room like for five nights. Not cool. Not to mention she didn't have her CDs anymore, she needed to make sure to get new ones. Somehow the thought that she might actually like it here slipped her mind. Since she'd gotten here, she hadn't left her room at all. Eventually she'd have to for food or entertainment; but not yet. There was too much going on. Maybe she'd head out later to check things out a bit more. At the least she had a cool new phone, or 'dream berry'. Which she was not going to call it, by the way.

[Why do you want to play this character in Somarium?] I found that Carolyn had a lot of unexplored potential in the movie, so what better game than Somarium to explore it!
[Which rule was your favorite and why?] Let's all be active~ It makes the game much more fun.
[Where did you hear about Somarium?] Somewhere? It's been awhile.
[Any questions?] Nope!
