APPERANCE !
i've been told i look a bit like; Amelia Dolore
let me explain;- -Hair: Jamie very rarely changes the color of her hair or the style, it's always black because she doesn't want to make it forty different colors. It's always at least shoulder-length but never much longer than that because Jamie wouldn't be able to show off her tattooed wings on her back. If it's not down, as it usually is, it's up in a ponytail so it's easy to flip underneath her helmet. She doesn't like to have it done up fancy or in fifty different hair tie spins because it just becomes tangled. Jamie isn't one to mess around with her hair unless she has to for a banquet or something, it's pointless.
- -eyes: Her eyes are the one thing that are odd about Jamie, other than her obnoxiously short height. Most people would say they are a sharp hazel but with a closer look they are a heightened shade of green that make her eyes quite shocking to look at. She is proud of her eyes, they help her stand out and make her not look so Irish.
- -height: Jamie is teeny tiny. She only stands at a small five feet high so she's less than average in that department. Don't worry, though, she has a presence that makes you know she's there even if she is short.
- -weight: She only weighs one hundred and thirty-one pounds so she's not heavy. She shouldn't be standing at the height she is.
- -Tattoos(ect.): At the current moment Jamie only has three tattoos and a multitude of piercings. Her first tattoo was her custom drawn angel wings that cover her shoulder blades. She received this tattoo when she turned eighteen after she spent months working on the design and saving her money. The next tattoos were twins shamrocks on her hips to recognizer her heritage because she is very Irish. Moving on to piercings, well this may take awhile. Her lobes are pierced four times, followed with one industrial in her right ear, her cartilage twice, daith, her lips three times, septum, double nostril, sternum, nape and her tongue. Quite a lot isn't it? She loves piercings, what can a girl do?
- -Dress: She's a bit different in her dress whether it's her out there outfits to her simplicity. A lot of the time she wears skirts to show off her legs even if they are short little things with a tank top or some kind of corset. Every once in a while she'll wear jeans with a t-shirt because she simply did not feel like getting dressed that day or because it's windy. A lot of times she wears sweatpants and a t-shirt since most of her day is spent in a leotard. Leotards. That's another thing she has a plethora of. Jamie has quite a few leotards since she's been doing gymnastics since she was all of four or five years of age. Needless to say she collected quite a few when she finally hit her tiny height of five foot zero. Otherwise her way of dressing is extremely simple unles she has to get dressed up. Mostly, she sends her life in jeans or sweats or warmups with a leotard underneath.

interesting facts;
-Jamie didn't understand what a period was until she got hers at the age of seventeen. It's quite a funny thing but she still finds it embarrassing it took so long. Having little to no body fat on her means she doesn't have a normal system and not getting her period until late.

quirks;
-She has this thing called cuddlebug-ism. Meaning she loves to cuddle and is a total lovebug.
-Jamie will gladly sit there and listen to you vent out your issues but she won't talk about her own. She's a bottle of CO2 waiting to explode.
personality;So, you would like to know about Jamie? Where to start is the first question, especially when it comes to her personality. Jamie is quiet, always has been due to her work with rehabing abused horses and retraining them to become some of the top horses in their equestrian sport. She's not one often associated with being loud, boisterous, crazy or outgoing, especially when it came to meeting people. She's smile, give a little wave or 'Hello' and fall quiet once more. She just can't seem to push past her wall that she puts up. Someone has to be pretty consistent in getting her to talk for her to put her wall down and open up.
Once that person gets her to relax and talk, she becomes one of the most loveable people in the world. She's cutesy in her own way, with her silly little sayings or her way of just acting cute. Jamie really is silly, and absolutely loves to snuggle with people. Doesn't have to be a boyfriend, she'll just sit down and snuggle with someone because it makes her feel safe. Her ex-boyfriend put her on a run around with his emotions, so she holds them in until she's about to explode or do something stupid. Her first instinct is to go to someone and talk to them about it, but if she can't find someone she'll take it out on herself.
It's not like she's been diagnosed with chronic depression or something like that, she's just an expressive person and loves to talk it out. If someone won't sit there with her, she'll find some way to write about it or most likely draw. If that doesn't work then she goes to herself, and she can't break that habit. It is something she has been doing since...she doesn't even know when she first started but she has been trying so hard not to do it, and has been succeeding. With great help from a friend back home she had been getting ahead of whatever problem she was having, and then he disappeared. So now she's here.
Sexual would be another word for Jamie, she just loves to be 'affectionate' you could say. Touching a guys skin is just something that sends her on a trip for some reason, she does every chance she can too. Being skin to skin with a guy, whether he's built like a Militia Man or lightly toned from general work, is a favorite thing of hers. Hence where she gets her cuddly side from, the warmth from a person keeping her tight to them and keeping her safe is something she'll never forget.
In general words, Jamie is seemingly insecure but she's the most confident person some people have ever met. Give her a loving guy and she becomes a snugglebug, just give her time to relax and open up.

history;
Jamie would arrive two years following her parents marriage. Her brother was already six when she was born so he somewhat understood what she was but not completely. For the first three years it was a normal Irish family living in the Suburbs of Clonmel, Ireland. She played in the beautiful green hillsides of the rolling hills of Ireland and played in the rain until she was sick as a dog. At the age of four her parents decided she would be good at gymnastics and sent her to a little camp farther out in the countryside. Now, if you haven't noticed, Ireland is definitely not known for their gymnastics so the camp was run by an old Englishman who had coached the British women's team years ago. The camp proved to be good for Jamie so her parents stuck with it, eventually moving her into the little school that the old coach ran.
For the next three years Jamie would eat, breath, sleep gymnastics. Stretching herself as far as she could as a little one of all of seven or eight and learning that gymnastics was painful. The coaches would sit there and stretch her muscles until they hurt so she could do the splits with ease and without tearing a muscle. Her father began to grow concerned but her mother didn't care too much. Jamie was out of Aislinn's hair and being boarded at the school so she stayed there. There was just no way Jamie was going to be going home to Clonmel when her mother was enjoying life without her. Actually, her mother had no children to deal with since Devin was off at some boarding school in America. So Jamie endured the torture known as gymnastics without too many temper tantrums and she began to compete at the age of eleven.
Her first year of competing proved her true potential at gymnastics when she dared to do a flip in her floor exercise. This only caused her coaches to push her harder and for longer. Her stretches became manipulations, her workouts longer, and her routines much harder. She was progressing the levels quickly and by the age of thirteen was a Level 6. But this would prove difficult for Jamie because she had had enough. Everyday for most of her tiny life she had done nothing but gymnastics. Dealt with the pain of overstretching and dealt with her mother not wanting her. Jamie wanted to get out of gymnastics to see what else she could do. Her mother, though, would not allow it what-so-ever. Jamie was stuck in the school and would begin to throw fits and disobey right away. For these little tiffs she would have punishments, like more stretching or endurance training, but nothing seemed to work. She would only throw a bigger fit or do something worse.
It got so bad that one time Jamie striped down out of her leotard in the middle of the gym when a coach told her she didn't belong in the leotard. That royally pissed off the coaches and they started to do a different regiment of training. Jamie trained alone for an entire year and a half, away from the other kids where if she threw a fit, no one would see it. Her training was intense and the competitions were even worse. She was kept away from the other girls so she wouldn't be a 'bad influence' on them since she disagreed with certain things. By the time she was fourteen, though, her fits had stopped and she decided she was stuck doing gymnastics so why not like it. Her talent improved greatly throughout the competition season and she would prove she was worthy of the school still. That was ok until she turned fifteen and had suffered a pretty nasty knee injury.
She came back off the knee injury and moved back into work like a champ. By then she was fifteen nearly sixteen and was a Level 8 competitor. That made her eligible for the Olympics but she was still learning to use her weight on her blown knee. At the first day of trials she was on her beam routine where a series of flips loomed. The flips were a little too advanced for Jamie at the moment and on the first day when she tried them, she failed miserably. She didn't fall off the beam but she had a bad balance check and an even worse dismount from the shock her knee took from the bad landing. The second day when it came to her beam, she decided she couldn't do it. So, instead of doing the flips she half did them and wound up pushing herself off the beam. It was quite obvious what she was doing and naturally her coaches were pissed to hell about it.
Needless to say she didn't make the Olympic team and spent the next year working her ass off. She just wanted to compete that was it, not Olympic level just normal competitions. Her coaches actually complied and worked with her so she could compete in the Tyson American Championship. That was the hardest competition Jamie had done in years and she wound up placing eighth, which wasn't bad but wasn't great either. At seventeen she decided she wanted to leave the school in England and move to another where her talents would be recognized but not pushed. Her coaches were just pushing her too hard and she couldn't handle it. So, she found P.S.A. in Autralia and called her mother about it. That was when she found out her father was pretty much M.I.A. on a drinking binge. Being so far from home, now going farther, and knowing this nearly killed Jamie. She didn't practice for weeks and debated on whether or not she should go home. Her mother made that decision for her and sent her to Australia to the school. To this day Jamie still contemplates going home and it gets in the way of her training. Sometimes to the point she has gotten hurt, not severely but hurt enough to be out for a week. Maybe something will wake her up, that's doubtful.

it's over but what if we just pretend
While Jamie spoke she knew she was hitting a nerve with Sixx, noticing him bite the inside of his lip a little bit. Everything she said, though, was absolutely true in every aspect. She could relate to how he felt wanting to go back to it all and how no matter how hard you tried, it was hard not to. Sixx had a temper not even Jamie could match so she decided to tread a bit more lightly so as not to piss him off and feel that harsh wrath he had. "I know what you mean. I haven't been much help either since I kind of launched myself off the amps into the crowd last time," she made a little 'heh' noise as she finished, shaking her head. Jamie tended to simply get caught up in the music and goof around which mean that she'd piss Sixx off.
Looking at Sixx with a raised eyebrow, she couldn't help but give a little laugh. "No, Sixx, I've noticed that since the day you brought me on to the band and you signed us. Even before you signed us she was treating you like you were some soda can she can kick around at will. Obviously she doesn't respect you nor does she have any thanks for what you've done for each of us. For fucking sakes, Sixx! You used your own money to help her out and has she said thanks to you even once?!" Jamie stared at Sixx with a little bit of anger, kind of fed up with the way some people had been treating Sixx. He had given them their huge break and had helped all of them out at some point and time so they treated him horribly. "Sorry. You know how I feel about Sam. I try to get along with her but then she does stupid shit like this or hits you or yells at you for no reason and it pisses me off. You were the one who gave us our huge break and this is how they're treating you. You deserve a lot of respect that no one is giving you."
By now Jamie had looked away from Sixx to keep from flipping out more, knowing that pissing Sixx off wouldn't be such a wise idea. Shaking her head while looking at him for a minute and smiled when she got a little laugh out of him. "Bet you didn't know I give hugs a lot," she laughed, shaking her head. "And that I'm a huge snugglebug even if I am psycho." she laughed and sat back into the seat of the swing, looking over at him as he thought for a minute. She could see how this tour was wearing down on him, how he was ready for it to be over. Drama was the worst thing that could wear down on someone and it caused the most problems. Needless to say, this band was definitely not short of drama as of late.
The tone of her voice turned serious as she answered Sixx's question, wanting to know about his past. " Yeah, Sixx. I want to know. When was the last time you had a chance to talk to someone? Plus, I want to know more about you. After all, you've become pretty much my older brother," she smiled a bit since her brother was currently in Iraq serving in the war so Sixx and her had grown closer. Before being signed onto the label Jamie hadn't really taken the time to get to know Sixx, after that she spent a decent amount of time with him so they grew closer. After that Jamie had been able to go to him with any issues that she had. Well, except one when she thought she may have been pregnant but she kept that silent because she didn't want to drive him nuts again.
Her full attention was now on Sixx as he spoke, Jamie really wanting to know what happened in his life. He said something about fucking up and ruining his singing career, which Jamie had heard about. What surprised her was that he was worried about all of them, that he didn't want any of them to fuck up. So he truly cared about them and didn't want anything to happened to them because he didn't want them to ruin their careers. "In all honesty, I think the only one you really have to worry about fucking up their career is Sam. I'm in control of how much I do and I haven't done anything in almost three weeks now. I've been drinking but not heavily since it takes a whole shit load to get me drunk anymore," it was true, the rest of the group was pretty sane. "Yeah I get that Oliver had some issues and Nick delves into things but all three of us know how to keep it under control. Sam...I don't think she knows." Jamie and Sam may not get along but she could honestly say that she was worried about Sam. One person could destroy all of their band mates, and Jamie was going to take that personal. She watched Sixx nervously, hoping she didn't make him mad at her words.
That was the last thing that she needed,t o have Sixx mad at her because she said something about Sam. The big problem right now was Sam's publicity stunt now put the whole band underfire and that wasn't a good thing. As Jamie thought about the past few days, she remembered Sixx's saying how he had a dive fit. She laughed a bit, reaching out to look at his hand. "Well, everyone is allowed to have a diva fit and you are a celebrity. You signed one of the bands on the tour and you may not think it, but your voice is still awesome. You should try singing again, you never know what will happen," Jamie watched Sixx closely now, wondering if he would ever go back to singing. It had been awhile and he had been dealing with the band rather than keeping his voice in tune. Maybe it would be cool to have Sixx sing with Your Hero, My Gun once, but that might not be a wise idea. Shaking her head a bit, Jamie looked out to the street briefly at a passing car blasting music and turned back to Sixx to wait his response.
