FORGOTTEN THE TASTE AND SMELL
o f t h e w o r l d t h a t s h e ' s l e f t b e h i n d

» HEIGHT • I’m pretty tall, five feet ten inches
» WEIGHT • 101
» ETHNICITY • White, or Caucasian, whatever you call it
» PORTRAYED BY • Mischa Barton
» OVERALL APPEARANCE •
Appearance, I would have to say the first two things people see about me are my height and my weight. I wouldn’t say this makes me look like a supermodel or anything, actually I think I’m ugly. I am tall, and my body is practically all angles, and my eyes are huge looking sometimes, while my hair doesn’t do much. Those large eyes are definitely my most pronounced feature of any of them, since they always show my emotions and how I am feeling, which isn’t always a good thing, and I think they make me look like a bug sometimes.

My fashion on the other hand is a complete other story, since I love fashion. I love the Leger collection from Max Azria, and it definitely works for me, or at least when I am looking thin, other times I do have a few weight problems, like when I eat like a normal person all my weight tends to go to my hips, and it definitely gets to me. I have always felt a little self-conscious about my weight, and this has lead to the way I look today, extremely thin, or at least in the eyes of other people, personally I still think I could lose more weight. The most important part of keeping my weight down is so my clothes fit perfectly for me.

My hair is one of those ever changing things for me, since I have been blonde, dirty blonde, and a brunette, and then combinations of them all. My skin isn't that tan, but in the summer it will get a nice glow to it from being in various places I take vacations. I do have to be careful when I am on vacation so I don't get a burn, since that could cause wrinkles, but I do love the nice days when I can sit outside and get that natural glow.

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE EXPOSURE
t h e l e n s , i t o l d h e r

» LIKES • I have a lot of things I like, like running, sleeping, partying, drinking, I used to like oranges, and on occasions I will eat on just for a few calories. I also like the color dark purple, and navy blue.
» DISLIKES • I wouldn't say I dislike food, but I definitely don't like eating. After that I hate waking up, especially when I've had a long night, and obviously I hate school, which is a given, since I'm eighteen and a senior. Other than that I hate rainy days, lightning, and again school, and a lot of other things I can't think of at the moment.
» HABITS/QUIRKS • I twirl my hair when I'm bored, and then sometimes I'll just be sitting somewhere and smile because of something I was thinking about.
» FEARS • I'm deathly afraid of heights, so flying places I always have to take something, even when it is just a couple hours. Other than that I have normal fears, like bugs and death.
» DREAMS • Really, I don't always know. some days I think I want to be a model, and other days I just want to find a guy for once, and get away from my slightly screwed family.
» PERSONALITY • A crazy bitchy party girl, that is definitely one of the ways I've heard myself described, and I sadly can see it. I am a bit of party girl obviously, but who wouldn't be. I love a good party, which means a lot of alcohol and of course I get a night out where I can wear my lovely clothes, like the Leger banded dresses, all of which are my favorites. I love going to parties obviously like any other girl would, and people have figured it out. Parties for me are natural, the drinking, the environment, and of course it is also an act of acting out for me to go against my parents.

My bitchiness is a pretty similar story, but I am not always too bitchy to people, but to be an elite you have to understand that I am a crazy bitch, and it is with good reason. The bitchier I am to people unlike me, the more successful I am as an elite in this hellhole we call boarding school. Of course I hate school, but being able to pretend to be someone I am not and being an elite makes it easier to live here, and if being a total bitch to people I hate is what does it then that is what I do. I'm a bitch, and that is all there is to it. Being a bitch to people has made me part of who I am, and it is working out perfectly right now.

Of course being bitchy couldn't do everything for me, kissing ass has done something too. I have been a total bitch to some people, but in the past I have been known to be a nice person when it comes to the people who are either also elite, or they are the people i had to be nice to in order to be an elite, and of course with people that are my friends I will be a truly nice person, but more of the time now I am seen as a bitch rather than a nice person, but I guess that is just the cost of being who I am.

THE ANGLES WERE ALL WRONG NOW
s h e ' s r i p p i n g w i n g s o f f o f b u t t e r f l i e s

» PLACE OF BIRTH • Newport Beach, California the only other location of hell
» NATIONALITY • American
» PARENTS • So this is a little confusing. There are my parents who gave birth to me, William Van der Mark and Marissa Jamison who were pretty young when they had me, and they were never married. Then my father married Jacqueline Van Alstyne because she was more his type, and my mom isn't really around anymore, since she disappeared when I was less than a year old and i get letters occasionally and see her sometimes, but she is off and married.
» SIBLINGS • Well, from my father and Jacqueline I have three younger siblings, Sabine Jacqueline Van der Mark (17), her twin Jack William Van der Mark (17), and Leslie Jacqueline Van der Mark (16). From my mom I have one younger sibling, Alexandra Marissa Van der Mark (16).
» OTHER RELATIVES • I have a large family, and we meet at large family things, but not too often.
» HISTORY • My family is basically really fucked up, and that is the basic part of it. My parents had known each other since high school, and they had never actually dated until one drunken night on break from college, and there is where I come into the lovely story. I was born on June Sixth, eight months later, born a month early, it wasn't too good of a situation for me to be coming into, since their parents weren't happy my mom was having a kid in the first place, and they had graduated college a month earlier, and my dad had already met Jacqueline while he was there, who ended up being a family friend he had met before. Of course to screw things up and get back at him, my mom gave me the middle name of Marissa Bordeaux, just to remind my father of how wasted they were the night I was conceived.

A year later my father was remarried, my mom was out of the picture and I had two younger siblings, and yet another year later I had a third younger sibling, and of course I was the oldest and sometimes I felt left out, although I was the best child in my own opinion. It was weird, having a different mom than my three younger siblings, but Jacqueline always acted as if she was my real mother, but from the time I could speak I wouldn't refer to her as mom, she was always Jacqueline in my mind, and she was definitely not my mother. So my family was already a bit of a mess from the start, my mom eventually started writing after two years of being gone, and I had a step-mother, and a father, both of them loved working more than their kids.

I grew up with nannies, and my dad was working a lot of the time, so I was never too close to him anyway, which eventually led to him sending me across the country to boarding school so I wouldn't create any trouble for him and Jacqueline. The younger years of my life I was given everything I could ever want, from toys to clothes as I got older, I had everything as a child, and I wouldn't ever want to give it up, which I still take advantage of my dad's credit cards and being able to use them to get what I want, and through middle school he saw me as the perfect angel, which lasted for a while, but I guess I screwed myself up somewhere in there.

I guess I screwed things up even more when I turned sixteen and I was in Montecito at boarding school in California, which lasted through my Sophomore year. So I am going to skip over my freshman year, since I was always that innocent little girl through middle school in Newport, but then I got to high school and did a lot of ass kissing to get what I wanted, and I was basically an elite in Montecito, which led to me and the guy I was dating sophomore year. We had been dating from the beginning of the year, and it ended up completely screwing me over. So I had done a few things before that I'm not too proud of a few things now, like losing my virginity when I was fifteen, but that is another unimportant story. Basically this time, I got caught hooking-up with not my boyfriend but another guy in my dorm, so not only does my boyfriend break up with me near the end of the year, I got told I can't go back to that school.

Finally, Junior year I end up at Royden because my dad thinks that having me further away from home and away from any family stuff would help, so I get to Royden, California Born and bred girl meets the world of New York, the main adjustment for me was the fashion was different, and it was obviously cold, but it didn't take much for me to get used to it, that and I kissed a lot of ass. Personally I think I was a great addition, and I don't think I ever mentioned the whole weight thing, but it is easy to understand. I hide from people the fact that I don't eat, but few people understand everything I have gone through to be who I am today.
