Jessica Anne Shaw

She is fair skinned, blonde hair and blue eyes. Typical description. She is 5’6 and skinny so really nothing to make her stand out from all the rest. Her eyes seem to change color for no apparent reason, going from bright blue to a dark grey blue in the same day. It may be changing with her mood, but does it as it pleases. When she walks she has almost a bop to it. Not quiet a bounce, but not a stroll; there is energy in it. She almost bops to music, a beat of some sort that no one else can hear. When she goes from place to place she is on a mission and does not take in the people around her. You have to scream to get her attention. She always seems to be preoccupied with something, which makes it hard for her to live in the moment, and even harder to slow her down. She smiles while she is talking to everyone, and always needs to be doing something. When she is not overwhelmed with school and work, she doesn’t slow down instead she tries to speed up her social life going out every chance she gets. Her life seems to all be set on where she is going not where she is now. She tries to change it, and go back to the free spirit she once was, but want to succeed so badly, she can’t seem to let everything go and just take a break. She wants to be a high school teacher, because hers was the one that changed her life and got her where she is today. She plans on helping public school, and helping kids get to where she is now. She has ambition, and drive and is not planning on giving that up anytime soon. Telling her to slow down will only make her want to speed up more. There is always something new she can take on.
