BROOKS, Ashlynn Charlotte

Ashlynn is a bit of a peoples person. Or, by a bit, I mean a lot. She knows how to work a crowd and is your usual, peppy cheery girl. She will happy chat with strangers wherever she is, and loves meeting new people. She's also a bit careless, mainly because she was so sheltered growing up. So she's used to getting her way and can easily fall into the habit of procrastinating. She knows it's bad, so she tries not to. But when she does, she can find it hard to stop, no matter how much she scolds herself. 
Having nothing else to do, she likes to immerse herself in being busy, doing everything she can. And she's good at it. Multi-tasking is like a second nature, and she's good at juggling activities, balancing her schedule just right. Persuading people, as well, is something Ashlynns always been good at. And her looks plays into that especially well with guys. For girls, while a bit harder to play, it's more of her innocent demeanor. 
Her insomnia and anxiety are the only that that hold her back. While she was raised around meeting people almost daily, she has no problem there. But when she over thinks an upcoming project or any sort of situation, she tends to have panic attacks. Some aren't too bad, but some can be serious. She always has her inhaler, but generally only uses it when she has an attack, as she doesn't need it any other time. 
Her insomnia, which she developed as a teen but never went away, was first believe to be short-term, and brought on by the death of her grandmother. However, it's stayed with her since. She sleeps very little and quite restlessly and it takes her hours to fall asleep. She takes sleeping pills, so it's not unbearable, but it can still make her life hell. Especially during her time of the month, when her insomnia seems to be at its worst. 


Ashlynn was born to the perfect family. Two older brothers and a younger sister. For her family, who was pretty well off, like was about who you knew, what you wore and how people saw you. Reputation was everything. They were still a loving family, but their mother made sure they looked right and their father made sure they acted right. Ashlynn was raised by a nanny, with the help of her mother, since she was a stay at home mom. With four kids just a few years apart, the extra help was needed. 
The hardest thing for Ashlynn was the death of her grandmother, whom she was really close to. This is when she developed her insomnia - she's had anxiety since she was young - and was put on sleeping meds. Of course, it was hidden from their family friends for a while. They may think Ashlynns crazy. Wouldn't want that, right? 
She went to a gifted school a few towns over until high school, where she was sent off to a private school until high school was done. There, she became a bit more exposed to the world, and learned that she loved to drink. After high school, she came back down to Modesto for a few months then went to beauty college. She came back at the age of twenty. She's been back for a year and now has a job and her own apartment.
