ARABELE FLEUR MONETTE
LOCAL, TWENTY-ONE, SECRET AGENT, PERSUASIVE, ADVENTURE-SEEKING, ANJA RUBIK, HARTFORD
We all have tried to be someone else whether you were trying to be popular or to just fit in. However it is Arie's job to live a double life. She was born in Paris to a family of quite poor individuals who could not afford to raise her. She did not remember anything of her parents since she was not yet old enough to retain memories. She would never know if she had any siblings or what her family was like. Her parents did what they thought was best in giving her up. Little did they know how it would actually be a downfall for her more so than a benefit. She moved from foster home to foster home all around Europe. Each new family became just a temporary home since she knew she would not stay long. At first she thought it to be an adventure, but after a while it just became lonely. She was not sure why exactly nobody kept her and it had started to take a toll on the little girl. She never got to keep the same friends for more than a couple months. The longest she was in a foster home was about 6 months. This detachment to a home led her into the hands of a secret agency. They saw potential in her since she had no home to go back to and had no ties to loved ones. It might seem inhumane for them to take advantage of Arabelle’s lack of a solid home, but the agency would give her a purpose in life that she lacked before. From moving around a lot, she has a strong base of connections all throughout Europe. Of course she didn’t start out as a secret agent. She was trained throughout her upbringing on how communications and how to detect things that may otherwise go unnoticed. She also was trained to become a liar, one who could hold a bluff without any clue that she was. She was also training in multiple acting classes. This underground world was one that nobody really knew about, but it had to stay that way for the agency to thrive.
As she matured, she became a professional at her job and couldn't imagine any other life. With her slim figure, she had been set up as an international model. She had always wanted to give it a try, plus it would be easy for her to act being a model. She just had to put up a front that she was this naïve, bubbly girl, which was one of the easiest forms of acting. Nearly anybody could pull it off. Every modeling job that she gets, she ends up doing an agent job on top of that. All of her agent jobs have been minor up to this point. As she's starting to get into the bigger cases, she was assigned a partner. He acts not only as a body guard to Arabelle, but together they are an unstoppable team. The only thing is, can she trust him?
To make this act believable, she appears to be just a naive model who has traveled the world looking for her place when she finally ‘settles’ in America. She puts off that she is really naive, more than she is. She tries to fit in with the city. Her partner, to not make it obvious, has moved to the city after her and they put on a show that they have just met each other when they’ve been working with each other for a while so nobodies suspicious. They have done this for an endless amount of cities, from Rome to Milan to Greece. She really has been all over the world. Why do you ask would she end up in Connecticut of all places? Well her agency believes there to be someone in these cities to be stealing identities and breaking into huge corporation’s accounts and planning a big attack. The agency has yet to figure out who the culprit is, however that is why they have sent in Arabelle to investigate and see what she can dig up. This is the biggest case she has had yet, and she knew this was what her training has prepared her for.
Now being a secret agent may seem bad-ass in movies, but it has its downfalls. Arabelle had to grow up quickly and couldn’t experience things in life that are something everyone does such as high school, prom, sporting events. She had to always be focused on her job. She was not allowed to have boyfriends and so when she had crushes, they had to sneak around. However, she knew that if she got caught, the agency would kick her out. They just didn’t want to risk her getting into relationships that could cost her her life in the end or the agency their cover. Feelings just caused blindsides is what the agency had ingrained in her head. Some may say that she has grown up too fast, but she still has her own way of having fun. The agency did allow some leniency when it came to going out as long as she was undercover. Since the drinking age was younger over in Europe, she would go to drinking parties and go out clubbing with friends. She could really let loose if she wanted to and ends up becoming the life of the party once she has a few shots in her. Most of the time she is not allowed to drink unless her partner is with her keeping an eye on her since the agency doesn’t want her to get drunk and spill all of the secrets. However, Arabelle as trained herself to keep those secret even when she was drunk. It took a lot of hard work and training, but she is a professional at keeping up her cover. The only ones that would know how to break that would be those closest to her.
Being from Europe, she is also more open about her sexuality and nakedness, but not in a vulgar way since she modeled occasionally nude. Being a model, she is very comfortable with her body and was never really self-conscious about her body. She knew that she would have to act so to help pull off the model stereotype. She is also very blunt and not afraid to speak her mind, which can get her in trouble when it comes to having to bite her tongue instead. When Arabelle’s guard is down, which is rarely and only at the agency or in the presence of her partner who she had been trained with from when she started at the agency, she is just a normal girl who seeks romance and adventure. Her job gives her the adventure and adrenaline rush that she thrives for, all she is missing is love. It tears her apart knowing that while she’s with the agency, she cannot have love. This will bite her in the butt if she ever falls for anyone. During this time when she lets down her guard, Arie is care-free and a person that you can’t help but smile when you are around. This is the side that she has to repress most of the time when dealing with her job. Sure, when she plays roles such as her model, she can let some of her true personality shine through, but overall she must keep a reign on her real feelings. Real feelings being shown leads to mistakes, is another rule engrained in her head. As much as this job does not see ideal, the only thing she fears would be that she will lose herself in this double life.
RP SAMPLE (PAST POSTS, ON THE SPOT, WHATEVER!)
Even though Jasey had gone to sleep early the previous night, she could just not get her mind to settle down. She just could not stop thinking about the next day being her wedding day and all the things that she wanted to make sure were going to go right. She had checked and rechecked that everything was going to be set up and Alex had reassured her time and time again that everything was set up and going as planned. However as Jasey lay there, she felt nerves bubble up inside. It did not help that she was not allowed to sleep in Tegan’s arms which always lulled her to her sleep easily. Since she knew that she would be getting little to no sleep tonight she just got up and searched for her photo albums and dragged them all into her room. She had to make sure she was quiet because if Alex heard her still up, she would be scolding her for not getting enough sleep the night before her big day. Alex had already taken away her phone and laptop so that Jasey could not contact Tegan in any way. It was bad luck apparently, but it was killing Jasey. She wanted to know if Tegan was just as nervous as she was or couldn’t sleep. She opened the oldest photo album when they were kids and the two of their families would go camping or boating or just be playing outside. Jasey cracked a smile as she flipped through and laughed quietly at when the Rivera boys and Moore boys were all piled on top of each other and Jasey had jumped on the top like she was the one who tackled them all. She then flipped to when they were in middle school and Tegan, Tucker, Shawn, and Jasey had gone to the rodeo down in Nashville with their parents. There was a permanent smile on her face as she then flipped to when they were in high school. Jasey had been wearing his jersey like every other football game and he had been one of the star players. He had picked her up in a sweaty embrace as their team won their state game. Then there was prom where he had dipped her into a kiss and they had been happy as they have ever been.
There were so many memories and pictures that she was reminded of and she felt herself fall asleep while she was looking at the photo albums and with a smile on her face as she thought of all they had been through. Sure, there were rough patches, but none of those seemed to matter anymore. She would be getting married to Tegan tomorrow and they would be living together for the rest of their lives. There would be no more if ands or buts with them. It was final and even though that was scary, Jasey could not be happier about it. She really did love him regardless of what her brothers or other people thought. They would show all of the doubters how truly in love they were. However, for Jasey it wasn’t about proving to them how in love they were anymore. As long as the two of them knew, what else mattered?
Jasey had slept for a few moments it seemed before she was woken up by the prep crew, mainly Alex, Emerson, Anna Beth, and her mother. Emily had come along as well who was now almost walking. Jasey was forced into the cold shower right as she had rolled out of bed. Nobody was letting her take her time today as a lot of things needed to be done to make her into the bride that she desired to be. She had changed into clothes that she could just unbutton to fit into her dress once she was ready but clothes she didn’t care if she got dirty. She was placed in a chair as people fluttered about her drying her hair, plucking her eye brows, doing her nails. She answered questions about how she was feeling with a small smile, but a nervous look on her face and they all knew that she was starting to get the nerves. She had eaten a small breakfast before she was expected to get ready. She was really not hungry, but she didn’t want to pass out at the aisle. She let the noise of the girls chattering fade out as she thought to what Tegan would be doing right now and she felt an urge to request to see him. She knew that thought would be shot down quickly, so she didn’t even attempt to ask.
It didn’t seem long before the ladies were done with her and she was getting helped into her wedding dress. She was not allowed to see the final product until the very end. The jewelry and final touches were made as she slipped on her slight heels. When she saw her reflection in the mirror her mouth just dropped slightly. She could not believe it was even her; she looked like someone in the wedding magazines. Yet there were still elements of her in it that were more simplistic. She just smiled as tears started beading in her eyes. “Girls, you did an absolutely amazing job. Thank you” she gave them each a hug and a small kiss on the cheek. It was not long before she was helped the car and she was heading over to Ray’s where the wedding was taking place. Ray’s house had a small pond in their back yard where the wedding was set up. She was taking deep breaths as she tried to calm herself. She thought of all of what could go wrong. What if she tripped or her dress tore. She was more nervous then she thought she would have been. The comforting words of her friends were not exactly helping either.
