PERSONALITY:
Ziggy is intelligent and unusually perceptive. Bluntly honest, dramatic,open-minded; all have been used to describe her. As a realist and a dreamer, she is easily labeled as a contradiction. Conventional isn't a term used for Ziggy. All she truly cares about is becoming an artist. In all honestly, she can take her pick of which medium, yet she is too embarrassed to properly enter that lifestyle.
Still young, rebellion is in her nature. She walks on a thin line between the wild side and responsibility. Flirtation is something she’s unashamed to display, and does frequently. Her character is, in the simplest of terms, kind to all. Something in her past just makes it so that she ruins any chance of happiness she gets. She is very confident and outspoken in her opinions, and seldom likes being told what to do. Ziggy dreams about a life of adventure and romance, but is too busy slowly poisoning herself to accomplish such.
SECRET(S): Her biggest fear is the Boogeyman. It seems like such a simple fear, yet it is deeply rooted from a traumatic experience from her childhood. This man, who was such good friends with her father she called him Uncle Ray, would crash at her house on the weekends, far too intoxicated to drive home. Her father insisted. It was only on the weekends that the Boogeyman would sneak into her room in the late hours of the night Her fear of the Boogeyman originated in these nights when the darkness touched her, feeling her almost womanly features.
FATHER: Scott Plath
MOTHER: Anya Sterling-Plath
SIBLINGS: None
WORTHY MENTIONS: Uncle Ray
CHILDHOOD:
Born to modern day hippies, Ziggy was raised to appreciate the earth, stand up for herself and against those who are unwilling to love, and to be kind to whoever she meets. Perhaps that is the reason why she is a free spirit and why she was blessed with a mutation focused plants. At a young age, it was discovered that she had a minor allergy to meat. Thankfully, her parents were already vegetarians, making the transition from an omnivore diet for her. She was a playful child; always managing to have her knees stained with dirt and grass, or scrapped elbows. No matter the damage, Ziggy would have a story to tell after the day of games came to an end. In addition of her wildness in youth, she was given structure by helping her parents tend to the garden. It would've seemed as if it was the perfect setting for a child with an untouched gift such as Ziggy.
She did have a beneficial childhood. Loving parents who were open and honest with her. Everything, however, does have a downside. Yin and yang, without it, there would be no balance to anything, nor would there be lessons for anyone to learn. Lies were plenty in her life as she grew up. The biggest, however, was a huge factor in Ziggy's distrust. That lie would be the Boogeyman.
ADOLESCENCE:
Puberty is full of suffering for everyone. Men and women alike. Ziggy manage to survive the the sore hips, the acne, all of the nightmarish factors of entering adolescence. It was possibly the second most terrifying thing she had yet faced in life. Even with the openness of her parents, the transition from child to young adult was a struggle.
At first, the symptoms of mutation went unnoticed. After all, Ziggy had always had a green thumb. It was the chronic headaches partnered with dehydration she would experience after a day working to harvest that things became confusing. Doctors ran tests on her, scanning her brain and testing her body to allergies in case something had developed over time. The symptoms, after all, were similar to when she digested meat. Nothing was found and, after an hour from being taken to the hospital, she was fine. Two weeks, later the school found her.
ADULTHOOD:
SAMPLE: "Yeah," she raised an eyebrow, "a lot of things are bad for you. Cigarettes, heartbreak. . ." She couldn't look into his eyes, not again. Instead, she watched the tip of her cigarette glow. Her eyes unfocused, then focused. The intense glare at the cigarette burning out made her grow tired. She flicked the ash on the ground, the cherry was threatening die if not shortened. The girl took a final, deep drag on the cigarette until the filter took the flame. Having tossed the butt to the ground and twisting her toes to extinguish it, she sighed.
It was silly, to feel as if she was poet in that moment. The fresh air, for the most part, and the company. Both damaged. More or less, however, it was the cigarette. The drug numbed the poison in her blood, slowly killing the toxins from the man across from her, slowly killing her without the commitment. The lingering effects of the cigarette allowed her to seem cool and collected, strong and without woeful emotions. Her words seemed to have a flow to them. That was the poet she felt like, if only for a short while.
"I know I'm going to regret this, but I did miss you."
