who are you truly?
personality traits:
+ positive: curious, open-minded, persistent, intelligent, honest, straight-forward, courageous
+ negative: blunt, sarcastic, clumsy, anti-social, critical, shy, picky
personality:
❝ SCIENCE FICTION MAY AS WELL BE THE WAY OF LIFE. ❞
+ dove has a high iq, almost 150, so she's intelligent since birth and got this trait from her grandmother. there will be times when she speak scientifically to the point nobody understands her and there will be times she speaks like a normal human. however she will mostly speak scientifically to herself and not around other people.
+ ever since she was little, dove would always be curious especially to things involving life and space. she would always wonder about things like to if there is other living species out there, how we live and why we live. this resulted in her loving everything science and science fiction related. dove acts very different from when she's at home and when she's at school, when she's at home she's cheerful and is joyful because that's when she can be herself and talk about science with no one judging her. when she talks about scince she smiles.
+ she's like an introvert. dove, when alone in her room (which is filled with dc, marvel, star wars and star trek and some science ), is very open-minded... to herself, and other as well sometimes as she is willing to concider others ideas, opinions and arguments, however not to the people she hates and gets annoyed by. dove is also persestant as she never gives up on what she's trying to achieve, which is mostly something involving science and discovering something new. she's also courageous as she will risk anything to get what she want, again - science involve.
+ something that isn't involving science would be her honesty, dove is honest by nature as she hates telling lies and would literally kill herself if she ever told one and it gets out of hand. going along with her honesty, this makes her straight-forward as well.
❝ WHY DON'T YOU SMILE AS MUCH AS YOU DO AT HOME, outside? ❞
❝ IN the outside world, IT'S DIFFERENT. PEOPLE SEE ME AS DIFFERENT. ❞
+ when dove is in school, it's a bit diffferent to when she's at home. she becomes shy around strangers and when in a crowd of people wheather she knows them or not, kind of like social anxiety, plus she became anti-social because of it. she doesn't like to go outside and do outdoor activity like sports, heck she wouldn't even go outside for shopping, she'd only go outside when there is something science related or a new marvel and star wars movie coming out. because of this she has become somewhat a bit detached when she goes outside. when i say that dove is shy, it's not a trait that extends or is noticed a lot because she's only shy in a crowd, so she can become a bit blunt and critical sometimes and almost all the time with the people she knows. dove can be contradicting but hey, humans are filled with contradicting traits.
+ with being blunt, dove sometimes uses this with her straight-forwarness which can make such a trait negative. as for being critical, this goes with her n0t being open-minded to the people she hates and gets annoyed by, she'll become critical to them - disapproving their judgements or comments and being critical but not too harsh.
+ with her work on discovering new stuff and space stuff, y'know amaturely, dove tends to be picky with things and she becomes a neat freak with work. because there is people out there who aren't as smart as she is (no felicia, she doesn't brag about her intelligence... around other people, just to herself), she tends to be sarcastic to those who don't understand her basic af knowledge.
+ even though she's smart, she's clumsy, really clumsy and since her room is a mess she tends to trip every single second 24/7. it's worse when she's flustered, she trips over air and her own foot. this is genetics, her mother is clumsy as fudge and she doesn't like this trait at all, when someone says she's clumsy, she replies with, "i'm not clumsy, i'm just enviromently challenged."
background:
+ dove was born in australia. she was very close to her grandmother as she lived with them for a while. her grandmother was into astrology as she was a scientist, since she spent so much time with dove she had spred her love of science onto her. however dove, when she was younger, had more of a love of science fiction since it was so cool and her father was into it too. but she wasn't obsessed with it that much. it wasn't until her grandmother started to tell her more stories involving astrology, she was inruiged by the stories and got really, very, curious about the meaning of space and well everything, she soon got really interested in finding life on another planet. after her grandmother died, dove swore that she would continue her work when she gets old enough, and her grandmother's work involved finding new life somehwere other than earth.
+ this actually effected dove's social life and was soon outcasted in middle school where nobody could understand what she was saying and thought that she was crazy. they'd call her names and laugh at her whenever she talked about space and science fiction. she developed a social anxiety-ish, she becomes shy around a lot of people and shuts herself inside because being around other's is too hard. the first person who accepted the way she is, was cressida. the second person was nicole and the third was chantz.
+ there is another person who didn't tease dove about her sci-fi fantasies and that was maxine pryse, the mayors daughter. however it was different, maxine actually did kind of been mean to dove numerous times just not every single second like everyone else. since the two were neighbors, maxine was the first person dove knew when she came to america and she never called her 'the mayor's kid' and all that stuff because she knew how it felt to be labled. max felt the same way and that's why she tried avoid her to avoid being mean to her (please change anything you like if she's chosen, cuz i don't think this is accurate :P).

#theinterview
you got invited to the 'biggest party of the year', how do you react?
+ well if i am speakin' honestly, i would laugh my head off because i never get invited to the 'biggest party of the year' and normally if i do... it's a trick but not like those fun tricks... is there even fun tricks? but seriously, they literally send me to a different house, it is ridiculous and - sorry, i ramble too much.
thoughts on maxine pryse? *coughs*
+ maxine pryse... she is my neighbor and i am an honest girl trust me, i hate lying - seriously, it makes me feel so gross on the inside and makes me fell so guilty, yer know the feeling, and - oops, haha i am rambling again. so when i say she is the prettiest girl on campus, i am not lying but her attitude and actions... let's just say we are not the best of friends a girl can be.
did you know her dad's the mayor??
+ oh most definetly and the fact that her house is the largest in the neighborhood - like 30m taller than my house (exageration, of course) making my house look like a dwarf - i would not have guessed at all /sarcasm/
were you even relatively interested in the random glowy thing in the yard?
+ of course, mate! i am a science nerd and i love astrology, anything glowly may turn out radioactive and may have either came from space or space! it's science, mate. i have been wantin' to actually discover something big for once in my life, not that i have not before but they were not really big discoveries, like mate this could be the start of a new life and - yeah, i'll stop right there goodness me why do i have to mamble like this all the time?
would you let an alien live in your house?
+ yes, oh most definetly i would. it would be so amazing to have like a extraterestial being living in my domain. i would not try to do experimences on... it, but i would love to get information. thinking about it right now makes me giddy... /sigh/ if only i could act this way at school, better yet, outside my room.
do you find aliens to be cool?
+ absolutely, as i, myself, has been classed as an alien by everyone in school, i figured that actual aliens would be awesome. did you know that our glaxy, which is the milky way, measures up to 120,000 light years across and contains about 400 billion stars, and within most stars includes at least one planet? that mean there's a good chance for alien life we haven't yet discovered and i would like to be the first. i apologise for my mambling.
can you please tell me why the aliens are so... hot?
+ if i could, i would go into detail but that isn't necessary and since i have been rambling on about random stuff, i will just say that, they are hot because they are exotic creatures.
ok but seriously lmao would you bang or nah??
+ i... i am sorry, but i do not understand your terminology
got any plans for the future?
+ yes, actually, i do. i want to become a world renowned scientist and make a difference in society well after i finish high school and college. if that doesn't work out for me, than i would like to write non-fiction books about science. yeah, i am head over heals for science, it is like an obsetion. i do not know if i want a husband and kids in the future, but that would be very nice.
what is your life like right now?
+ well i awake to the star wars theme music, no - i am not kidding. then i would straight away do some reaserch in my mini lab i have in my room, and this is on a school day - i wake up at about 4:00am-5:00am. i research mostly on astrology and when i feel like having fun, i create potions. then i have breakfast with my family, since i do not spend time with my family a lot, because i never leave my room, breakfast is more like bonding time. then i get ready for school. how i act in school is way different to how i act when i am at home or alone, i get shy and become distant because people think i am way too 'different'.
my life when it's not school and it's the holiday stops at the breakfast part, then i go back to my room and continue what i do - never going out again, except for lunch and dinner.
what knowledge of earth would you offer to your alien comrade?
+ i would offer him sadness. it may seem a bit over the edge mean and i am the one who is meant to be all lovey dovey to an alien but i never knew they would be so... so... so emotionaless! since majority of my life is in high school and i kind of get bullied, i get... sad, in the most basic way ever. and since this alien only knows sarcasm and rudeness, i am going to teach him to be emotional and sad, most likely to cry at one point... not to sound mean.
who's this freak?
alias: dylan o'brien
nicknames:
+ isaac curie & dove nicknamed him this because she thought that his alias was boring and thought that no matter how normal his name seems, you always need a fake name when you're trying to hide someone. and this name because she likes the name isaac for isaac newton and the last name from marie curie, the first female to make a contrabution to science
+ stiles & dove, even though is a science nerd, likes to watch tv series like a normal teenage girl. she thinks that dylan is like stiles from teen wolf *wink*
birthday: 9/16 + 19-200
ethnicity: american
faceclaim + backup: dylan o'baerien + chord overstreet (glee mateeee)... or kian, yeah maybe kian...or i can change the fc for chantz...
languages:
+ english & fluent (100%) : y'know gotta learn the most spoken language on earth or else ya die
+ spanish & fluent (90%) : learned spanish because he thought it was cool, dove thought it was hella werid and demanded him to teach her
what's the story?
PERSONALITY TRAITS:
+ POSITIVE: ceerful, outgoing, honest, respectful, obedient
+ NEGATIVE: heartless, cold, sarcastic, blunt, cheeky
PERSONALITY:
❝ sugar honey ice tea, can't ya fudgin' feel anythin'? do ya feel nothin'?! ❞
❝ was i... do i... am i suppose to take that seriously? ❞
+ there will be a heap of times when he is emotionless and stoic, so when he starts to act all goofy and cheerful, dove becomes curious to how he does that, he replies with: "i watch a lot of eathling tv". he will smile at times as he is only copying it and not feeling it for himself which kind of annoys dove but not really, confusing but she is like that. all his energy and outgoing-ness is because he is mimicing it and also not feeling it from himself, although he is learning from it and does start to feel it. dylan is honest and sometimes his honesty can be brutal, even to dove. he is also obediant to the point he'll always follow every instructin you give him, if they are reasonable. as he is obediant he is respectful, he respects others well and won't hurt anyone or anything.
❝ I AM AN ALIEN, SARCASM IS NOT MY ONLY DEFENCE! ❞
+ dylan will seem heartless because well, he's emotionaless, which is why dove is going to teach him to be sad and cry with actual real feelings. he pretty much doesn't care a lot, he shrugs things off that doesn't seem that important or interesting and just looks at the screen with no emotion if there is someone dying and everyone is crying (by teaching him to be sad, dove shows him some really sad dramas to make him feel something, like pull an emotional trigger). and with this he can also almost seem cold. he speaks the language of blunt and sarcasm thanks to his earthling tv and can come off a rude. he can get this way by getting annoyed or when he is triggered but... idk, anything.
BACKGROUND:
dylan WENT INTO HUMAN STUDIES when he was young as he was highly interested what life on earth was like. he actually has no parent as they had died when he was very young, so the council (or whatever) took him in and the rest is history i guess... tbh idk.
trivia:
+ heavely obessed with 'burgers'
+ he is 180cm tall and is a giant compared to dove
+ wears hoodies 24/7
+ aparently he can't see very well, so dove gave him glasses
PREFERRED LOVE INTEREST: alien dylan o'brien
PLOTLINE: I, THE NEIGHBOR, saw THE CRAFT WHEN IT LANDED BECAUSE IT WAS IN MY NEIGHBOR'S BACKYARD.
status: curious about the other specie > each others teacher > friends > one-sided love (dylan) > dating...?
interactions:
+ at first, like the very begining, dove was really super ultra interested in him and bombarded him with random questions about space and here he lives and if they have technology that is greater than theirs, stuff like that but he didn't reply according to what she had wanted. she was all gidy and happy and all that lolipop and rainbow whereas he was slightly confused thinking to himself, "do all human act like this?". he, to her surprise, was unemotional throughout their whole meeting as he didn't really express much feelings. gradually, she layed off the questions but was still very curious about him. dylan, on the other hand, was getting kind of cheeky as he started to mimick others, he somewhat became a trouble maker as he was highly interested about the human world and this made dove a little annoyed. dove asked hinm how'd he learn all of those emotions (meaning the ones from the box about and talking about his positive traits) without an actual human tutor, he replies with, "earthling tv, i can mimick what i see."
+ it wasn't long when dove realised she had to hide dylan while he stays here, and for the love of god, she hates lying, especially to her family. she hates the feeling of being guilty it's like tearing her up from the inside. dylan didn't understand this feeling and eventually got caught by dove's mother who awkwardly thought they slept together. dove made an excuse which was quite awkward as well (idk the excuse). dylan would always forget that his fake name is isaac and giabelle would always tease dylan and dove by calling them the double d couple.
+ their progression started when they both wanted to know more about the other specie and the world they live in. dylan would only answer her questions if she teaches him about humans and show him what its like outside. this, of course, became a problem beecause dove hates the outside world. they became teachers to each other, it was first for research then it turned into for the other persons benefit. dove taught dylan how to actually feel sadness and what it means to actually cry since he forced her outside. dylan taught her to get over her social anxiety by researching it and doing what his research says, even though he has no idea what it meant.
+ the two had somewhat bonded (because by making dylan sad, dove had showed him some sad movies and dramas - which he was heartless to and emotionaless as well) and became somewhat friends because dove has also layed down on the scientific torchure on him. the kind of act like best friends as dylan started to get real human feelings except the fact he'll still act stoic af. oh and dove will still act like an amature scientist on him.
love story:
at first, their realtionship was based on scientific purposes. they were each others teachers and nothing more but that extended to a friendship. THEY HAD SPEND SO MUCH TIME TOGETHER THAT BEFORE HE KNEW IT, DYLAN WAS LIKE ATTATCHED TO HER AND WOULDN'T LEAVE HER SIDE. it wasn't till chantz evans moved in with them (for a reason you can make up...? also dove has told dylan about her crush on chantz) that dove realised that he was acting differently. of course being the science geek she is, she thought that the problem with him attitude had something science related. she thought that anything he did was science related, not emotionally related. however she started to have feelings tfor him because he tried his very best to help her even though he had no idea what to do.
"HEY, TEACH ME ANOTHER EMOTION." "WHICH ONE?" "LOVE."
anything else:
CHANTZ is going TO PLAY LIKE A BIG ROLE AND MAKE A LOVE TRIANGLE between him, dove and dylan. dylan is now living with dove since her family believed the excuse she told them. chantz needs a place to stay for only a while because he ran away from home because of his abusive father (has no mother) and somehow he ended up at dove's house. he went there and not anyone elses home because he wanted to spend more time with her. then blah, blah, blah, dylan (as isaac) and chantz fight over dove, chantz knows what's happening, dylan has no clue and dove is not believing the situation. chantz doesn't end up with dove but has a possible happy ending with nicole...?
this is the end
questions: do you watch like tv series? like tvd, tw, the 100, the flash, arrow, glee etc.?
comments: this fic sounds so cool! so um, if there's anything confusing about my app, i apologise because i am well known for my confusing apps. please feel free to change anything about everything if she's chosen and/ or tell me if i'm missing bits and pieces, cuz i might. um, well, i really love this idea and it's so bootyful. also sorry ofr the spelling mistakes ><
suggestions:
+ um...
scene requests:
+ chantz and dylan fight over herrrrrrrr and she'll be like, "this, this right here, is not real," in a joking kind of way - she won't sound shock
+ dove is on her period and has no pads left plus there's no one at home. dylan has no idea what's going on and what the hell was a 'period'. she asked him to get pads for her since she refused to go outside. it takes him an hour (hyperbole) to get there, he asks a lady in the store for pads and the lady looks at him weirdly while he just smiles at her innocently.
+ going on from the one above, they all have dinner and dylan is giving chantz death stares.
+ dove and dylan go outside and they act like niel armstrong on the moon.
+ while out there, they encouter stairs, while dylan goes up, dove stays frozen a be like, while gulping,: "i-i-i think i'll t-take t-the l-l-long way."
+ "i have a werid family, my mother is named after - well is latin for star, my sister is named after a handbag and i'm named after a bird."
+ movie/drama nights?
+ since dove hates keeping secrets, cressida and nicole somehow found out about dylan
