Full Name: Laken Rose Cullens
Nicknames: ---
Birthday: December 24th
History: Born in Bay City, Michigan on December Twenty-Fourth, Laken Rose Cullens would be the first of three children born into a crazy house hold. It would have been better for her to have not been born to these parents, to these people, or for them to give her up for adoption. It was bad enough they had to have two more children after Laken.
Peter and Marie were not ready to have children. They were at the ripe, young age of seventeen when they became pregnant. Both parents dropping out of school, Laken was born into a family that could not take care of her. Her parents wouldn't ask their parents for help so they dropped out of school to support her. There were endless fights as Laken grew up, lack of food, lack of attention, lack of care. Everything that is said about teenage pregnacies are true; it's a bad thing.
Her mother would work during the day, leaving her daughter with a babysitter that was too old. She taught little Laken rules by slapping her, hitting her, withdrawing food or snacks. She learned the rules and she learned them fast. It wasn't long before she was just sitting by herself, minding her own business while the sitter sat and watched her stories on television. It taught her to mind the rules, to behave, and to entertain herself.
When her parents would come home, her mother first, she would again be on her own, even as a young baby. Her mother wouldn't care for her daughter right away, she would lay down and ignore the baby. Out of frustation, she would hit Laken as she got older to get the child to be quiet. Her father would come home not long after her mother and they would get into an argument about something or another while Laken was forced to listen and do her own thing, trying to ignore what was going on around her.
At the age of five, Laken had a baby sister named Stephanie Jane. Her parents having a repeat of Laken, the older sister took care of Stephanie the best that she could. It was not easy for the five year old since they kept the same babysitter who told her to leave her sister alone and that she was fine. The fighting continued when the sitter left and Laken was left trying to calm the little girl down as her parents fought.
Finally, the last child before Laken's grandparents stepped in was born. Blaine Rogan was born when Laken was the age of eight. The same routine continued for a few months after the third child was born and finally her Grandma and Grandpa Cullens stepped in and took Peter and Marie's children from them. The siblings have been living with their grandparents ever since, and have grown up in that home happy, well taken care of, and see their parents every other weekend.
While in public schools, Laken was very smart. She worked very hard at school, wanting to impress her parents, in hopes that it would smooth things over. It didn't work but she kept on trying. Once she moved in with her grandparents, she kept up the habit of being good at school and added on to her load of accomplishments, band. She took up the flute and fell even more in love with music than she had previously. Once she lived with her grandparents, music envolped her life completely.
Her grandparents thinking that Laken was very talented, that she deserved every chance she could get, they desided to send her to Diablo University. They heard of how great it was, how successful the people that graduated from there became. They wanted nothing but the best for their talented young granddaughter, so they covered all the prices, all the expenses, and sent her to Diablo University.

{ the SHY }
There is a downfall to her being just a good friend; Laken is very shy. She doesn't usually talk to people unless she really wants to get to know them. She doesn't give much information out about herself, and she is very good at entertaining herself. She will talk, yes, if you talk first. She is good at holding a conversation, good at making people laugh, they just have to make the first move. It is a very confusing thing, to try and get to know Laken because it's almost like a big condradiction.
{ the RULES }
Also a fan of rules, Laken likes to follow the rules and isn't very fond of breaking them. It's almost kind of annoying to her, in a way, because it's almost like she can't have fun. She rarely breaks rules unless she has a good reason to, or because she feels like busting out of her shell every once in a great while. She will advise any of her friends to follow the rules as well, which can get annoying to people. It's habit of hers, learned from childhood, that she keeps up to this day. She cannot stop herself, no one else can. It's like a compolstion, to follow the rules.

{ the PASSION }
When something sparks in Laken's heart, wither it be an idea, a person, a song, anything, this girl will go after it like her life depends on it. Some might call it obssession, she calls it passion. If it's an idea, and she thinks it to be wonderful, she will do anything to see that idea come to life. If it is a person that catches her interest, she will persue that person until she is happy with their relationship. If it a song, wither she wants to write it, listen to it, or analyize it, she will not stop until her goal is accomplished. Some might call this driven, because she does it with everything in her life.
{ the ORGANIZER }
Things have to be in order or Laken will go crazy. She is very picky about how she looks; everything has to look just right. Her nails can't be dirty, her clothes have to be clean, crisp, and tighty. If her hair looks messy, it's because she purposely made it that way, to look that exact way. It's like OCD, only better. It goes hand in hand with her love of rules, it's something she can't help. It's a quirk in her personality, it's how she rolls; neat, clean, and organized.

{ the INSECURITIES }
On the outside this girl might look well put together, very confident of herself, and a big too full of herself at times, on the inside she really isn't very sure of herself at all. Laken acts a certain way, looks a certain way, and talks a certain way around the people she does not trust enough to see all of her. A lot of what she does is a facade, a wall, an act, to keep herself safe. She doesn't want people to know how much she truely doubts herself, how low of a self-esteem she really has. It's all part of her; the rules, the organization... everything is to cover up that she really doesn't know what is going on, it cover that she really doesn't like herself.
