Too Long Appearance

[cinder]

A few people asked me to post this monstrosity. Its a rough draft of an appearance part of a bio that is far too long. Tell me if you have any advice quality-wise and yes, I do realize it is detailed.

HERE WE GO:::



People always seem to look at Siri’s feet when they first meet her. Not because she has a prosthetic leg, or terrible scarring on her feet, or some other attention-drawing deformity, but because they usually want to make sure she’s wearing heels. Being taller than most guys tends to do that (shes 5’’9 and a half for the record) Most of that height is translated as her miles-long legs, but her top half balances it out nicely. Siri has been growing for years now, and still she has not stopped. One could call her a late bloomer—Miss Murman hadn’t even thought about wearing a bra until she was only months away from the womanly age of sixteen. Ever since that part of her has started growing, people have taken to calling her graceful and willowy instead of referring to her as, ‘that freakishly tall girl.’ Sirena has never understood how her sudden boobage could turn her into some majestic, dancing swan. Yeah, somebody said she looked like a swan, like some huge, overgrown duck!!!

As anybody knows, there’s more to a gal than height, even if it is the first notable physical trait. The next thing people notice is her long, bleached-blonde hair. She’s not like Rapunzel with a heep of hair long enough to throw out the window of a tower, or say strangle a few dozen people with, but it’s long enough to get caught in oodles of places. Ever since she was fourteen, when she unwittingly got her hair wrapped around a majorly high up branch of a tree she had been climbing Siri has hated her golden locks. For the love of god, the fire department had to come help her get off the tree like some bloody cat. Before that day, Sirena will admit she did like her hair—it’s a nice blonde color like sunlight and moonlight woven together, and people always said she was pretty when she wore her hair down. She despises it now and her mother does not allow her to cut it to make matters worse. Hundreds of dollars have been wasted on products that are meant to tame her wild hair. She prefers to wear it back in a pony-tail, but braids will do.

Now that we’ve covered the most notable, talked0about aspects of Sirena Murman in the flesh, lets start from the bottom and work our way to the top, shall we? First there’s all the dirty little details of her body. Her feet are huge and Siri swears the right one is a quarter size larger than the left one. This little detail has made finding good pairs of shoes nearly impossible, only custom made shoes ever fit properly, and Siri is forced to buy shoes to big for her already huge feet, and simply wear a thicker sock on her left foot. Besides that, Siri is happy with her large foot size—girls with sizes eight or nine feet always have to compete for shoes, yet huge people like Siri never have to spend hours searching for a store that’s carrying the new It-Shoe in their size. Marvelous—even though Sirena wishes she were shorter as not to stick out so much, there are a few benefits.

Moving up the legs you’ll notice that they are muscular. Where most Americans have jiggling flab, Siri has legs that mean business. Hard and strong from years of being a three-sports athlete. Her skinniness also plays a part in her lack of flab—when you’re raised with the beach as your backyard, and a hot, surfer boy as your neighbor, staying fit and slim is pretty important to a gal. Her skin is sun-kissed—there is a smattering of brown freckles on her tan skin, but not a large amount; just a few cute little dots on her otherwise smooth, unblemished skin. An interesting fact about Siri is that she refuses to go outside without slathering lotion over every inch of her body. Her legs aren’t dry and crackly from lack of hydration, and Sirena shaves daily, being smooth and hairless feels much better to her. You can dye your hair, get colored-contacts, or a good nose job but your skin is yours forever. Keeping her wonderful body in working order is a priority. Her legs will never get ugly and sun-damaged, or pale and sickly.

Now let’s just skip over her butt and not even bother to mention any of those bits and pieces. The knowledge of that area is only Siri’s to know and a few select guys that will be coming around some day in the far away future, to find out. Moving on, we come across her belly-button which is pierced. Her upper-half is just as hairless and tan as her legs due to the careful attention Siri pays to her body. Call her vain. She isn’t too large in the chest area, but a few guys have tried to peek down her shirt so she must have something worth trying to get at, right? Sirena has a birthmark situated on her shoulder, an oversized freckle in her opinion. Usually her shirt hides it, or if she’s at the beach her bathing suit strap conceals the marking. It’s nothing unusual, and Sirena knows she could live with or without it. No big deal. She has slim hands and forever polished nails that are obnoxiously neon most of the time. The palm of her left hand is scarred forever—a product of not being careful enough while rock climbing one day. People have always asked her if she is an ex-cutter because it looks like a sharp blade was drawn across her hand, and Siri does her best to ignore those comments. It’s just a scrape a particularly devious and sharp rock gave her. Her arms are toned, but not in a I-can-bench-a-ridiculous-amount-of-weight way. That’s her body, bronze, muscular and lean. The blonde girl certainly looks like a stereotypical beach bunny or tom-boy surfer girl.

So we’ve made it nearly to the top! All that’s left is her long, elegant neck and a pretty-girl face. The neck isn’t too interesting so we can just go right ahead and delve into the world of her face. It’s a nice one; Siri is the first to admit it. (yes, I do believe I’ve mentioned she is a rather vain creature.) She has these cherry-red lips that are glossy and smooth to the touch. Very kissable looking. Siri has lips that aren’t thin and serious like an old woman’s, yet her lips are not big enough to be compared to a blow-fish or possibly Angelina Jolie if you’re feeling nice that day. Siri had braces as a preteen, and they added an extra pout-model-girl edge to her lips. As she has gotten older Sirena has actually become a natural pouty-girl model type, which is attractive to say the least. Her version of a smile is either turning up the corners of her mouth by just a fraction, or flashing straightened white teeth in a predatory fashion. Sirena’s nose is small and cute; people have always said she has a button-nose, whatever that means. There is a light smattering of freckles sitting pretty on her nose, and sprinkled just below her eyes. In fact, her forehead also has its fair share of freckles but they are lighter than her body-freckles and add a youthful cuteness to her face. Just beneath her eyes is a darkened area of skin, half-moons that are a direct result of genetics and a lack of sleep. All the cover up in the world can only do so much for the poor girl—she’s never able to completely erase all evidence of the previous.

Just about the dark half-moons are her eyes. Here’s is the point where people realize she isn’t just some dumb blonde surfer girl. Her eyes are too mischievous and cunning to belong to a ditzy, play-boy bunny wannabe. That and they are a light shade of brown, with some green mixed in. The color seems to change depending on the season, if that makes any sense at all. Her eyes are darker and brown when its spring or summer, yet they lighten to a hazel-green color during autumn and winter. Perhaps it’s just the lighting changing as dark clouds hide the sun away during the cooler seasons. Siri has always wanted to ask a professional if this is just her vain imagination playing tricks on her, or an actual scientific possibility. Siri is the only hazel eyed child of her green eyed mother and black eyed father, all of her younger sisters have flashing emerald-green eyes, and her older brother has disturbingly dark eyes that Siri would never call a simple hazel color such as her own. The shape of her eyes is that of an almond, not round and surprised looking but not narrow like an asian person. Right above her eyes are her well sculpted, eyebrows which she has plucked and fawned over at least once every two months. They are a light brown shade, certainly darker than her fair, blonde waves of hair, she has taken to having them dyed a few shades lighter just to match her head of hair.

When looking at the top of her face you finally notice one of her biggest insecurities. Her five-head. No, that’s not a typo—Siri is the owner of a five-head in place of a fore-head. The block of skin below her hair and above her eye-brows is large. Whenever people point this out, Sirena says her brain is just larger than other peoples, so she needed a bigger head to house it. Usually they smile at her ha-ha-ha, oh-so funny joke. She has considered cutting bangs, but does not know if her mother would approve considering her no-haircut policy. Siri is afraid to end up angering her fierce mother and get herself in loads of trouble. Her ‘five-head,’ is one of beautiful Sirena’s insecurities. She is beautiful, flawed as any other human being, but her proud way of carrying herself and the care she takes in keeping herself pretty has turned average Sirena into a not-so average modelesque beauty of a girl-next-door variety.

She has a nice look to top it off, never wearing too tight or too loose clothes. She has a strong sense of fashion and enjoys flipping through the latest Paris Vogue during her free-time. If Siri wasn’t already planning of becoming a marine biologist, she would most likely enter the vain world of fashion—preferablly as a model. Alas she is too afraid that she would be turned down and told she is ugly, the self-conscious b****. She’s very afraid of what other people think of her appearance, and dresses to impress no matter the occasion. Siri has taken to waking up an hour before most people do in order to perfect her make-up and blow-dry her hair and shave and make sure she looks perfect in a messy, slouchy, I-don’t-care-too-much way. That’s Siri Murman for you!
