Oh my goodness , you guys! I finished a character sheet. Uhm my eighties knowledge is lacking. I'll just post it up here, so everybody can give advice at will.
She'd look similar to the woman in the pic above, but with tons of freckles, crooked teeth, and straight (not braided) hair.
NAME: Rudi Walsh
QUICK DESCRIPTION/BIO: Rudi firmly and vocally believes that humans are two things: highly intelligent primates and Earth's worst invasive species. She longs for a reclusive life in the wilderness somewhere, but is stuck in Parkville High. Despite her rather misanthropic outlook, she enjoys the company of like-minded people and can be fiercely protective and loyal, though Rudi feels more comfortable with her pets than her clique.
AGE/GRADE LEVEL: 16/sophomore
HEIGHT/PHYS. DESCRIPTION: Rudi is 5 feet 6 inches (1.67 m) tall. She is thin and fit, very freckled (all over), and has waist-long, straight brown hair usually worn loose. When she smiles, Rudi exposes her crooked teeth (her canines are pushed forward by overcrowded molars, which gives her a fanged/snaggletooth appearance). She usually wears jeans, a solid-colored blouse, and her favorite jean jacket, which has a rhinestone eagle on the back and metal stud snakes along its sleeves (she used a BeDazzler to make these herself). Rudi is of average attractiveness.
BFF: Lisa Horschel (her horse pics were actually cool)
ENEMY: Alex Adamson
DATING: Single
SECRET CRUSH: Alex Adamson
BEST CLASS: Biology
WORST CLASS: History
HOBBY/EXTRACURRICULAR/JOB:
Rudi enjoys caring for her pets (one grass snake, one turtle, two parakeets, and three rats) and her mother's vegetable garden. She also enjoys inventing yoyo tricks and watching nature documentaries. She keeps a detailed journal and studies survival techniques to prepare for a future as a wilderness explorer. She enjoys camping in her backyard. She almost joined the Life Sciences Club, but it only had one member, and that's kinda weird (though she agrees that drift nets are bastards).
TOP 5 BANDS: She's never understood music's charms and avoids it whenever possible. However, if pressed, she will say the following: "Annie Lennox, Pet Shop Boys, Erasure, that old guy, uh, Sinatra, and I can't really think of anybody else, so how about Beethoven or Mozart? Oh, do ambient rainforest sounds count as music?"
GUILTY PLEASURE:
Silence!
VICIOUS RUMOR ABOUT THEM:
She's into bestiality and/or is a lesbian (false and false, though she once had a short-lived and puzzling crush on Megan)
FAVORITE MOVIE: An American Werewolf in London
FAVORITE FOOD/SODA: French fries and root beer
DESCRIBE HOME/SIBLINGS/RELATIONSHIP WITH PARENTS: Rudi is an only child. Her parents leave for work early and are rarely home before 8 PM, but they are good providers and decent people. Rudi considers her family's pets to be siblings. She's always wanted a dog or cat, but her mother's allergies will not permit that.
TEACHERS DESCRIBE THEM AS: A good student, though too narrow-minded and confrontational.
GPA: 3.0
MOST LIKELY TO: Become the next Jane Goodall or be arrested for throwing red paint at a woman wearing fur
CAR/BUS/WALK?: She normally walks to school. Sometimes, her father drops her off on the way to work. When she needs to visit her friends, Rudi bikes.
VICES/JUVENILE DELINQUENCY: She was once reprimanded for stealing her neighbors' dog. In her opinion, they'd been neglecting him and didn't deserve to own pets.
INVENTORY: One backpack containing her school materials (books, paper, scissors, writing utencils, etc), flint, a compass, silver studs for her BeDezzling, a slingshot and rocks hidden in a secret pocket, and a yoyo.
PRIZED POSSESSION: Her plaster Velociraptor claw recreation and BeDazzled jacket.
ALLERGIES/ILLNESSES/DISABILITY: She considers her freckles to be an illness, but they are most certainly not.
SECRET: Rudi is often desperately lonely and wishes she could be more like the popular people she openly derides.
IN SHORT, THREE WORDS: Misanthropic animal lover
