poppy's mother died when she was four years old. she's never remembered her and, as a result, never missed her.

poppy's father runs a successful law company back in toulouse. he and poppy don't always see eye to eye, but he's her only family - excluding lora and her grandmother.

» lora fleur marti-roché ;; 14
poppy is lora's neice. they could be described more accurately as sisters, seeing as that's how they treat each other. poppy loves her neice and hates to see her hurt, and doesn't like that she's had to leave her in france while she's in brooklyn.

» fleur-soleil marti-roché ;; deceased
lleur was poppy's sister. she also died when poppy was four, but she has more memories of her sister than she has of her mother. fleur was lora's mother.

» sylvie marti [née baillard] ;; 62
sylvie is poppy's remaining grandparent, and she loves her to death. she couldn't function if she didn't have her mamie, and doesn't want to think what would happen if she had to try.

Personality:

» crazy, fun and spontaneous. poppy is the definition of all three of these characteristics. poppy loves to be crazy, mainly because here, no one's looking up to her, no one expects her to be a good example, so poppy can pretty much do whatever the hell she wants. she loves to dance and sing and sleep with pretty much anything on legs, and here, she can do all three on a pretty much daily basis.

» poppy loves to have fun, and likes to think that she is fun. she loves to go out and drink and party and do everything a normal teenager likes to do. although, she's underage to do pretty much everything she loves. she usually gets someone older to go with her when she goes out, though sometimes she can blag her way in, after making some promises first.

» poppy is very spontaneous. the thought has hardly taken shape in her mind before she zooms off and does it. for this reason, she's also very hot tempered and doesn't like to be made a fool of.

Appearance:

» poppy has long, blonde hair and blue eyes, something which she has always thought helped her in her choice of career. her face is pale, almost translucent, thanks her mother being part albino. she's short, standing at only five foot four, but she never lets it get in her way. she is slightly underweight, weighing in at only 93lbs, but she can't bring herself to eat or to try and put on weight.

» despite this, she is usually happy and bubbly, when she's not remembering things that happened to her in the past. she's short, underweight, pale and blonde, but she doesn't care.

History:

» poppy was born on the 19th of April, 1991.
» her mother was rose marti, who, at twenty two, had just finished an english degree at hull university. even though poppy is technichally french by birth, she was born in london.
» her parents had divorced just a few months before she was born, her mother unaware that she was pregnant.
» once her mother found out, she persuaded her mother to let her take fleur, her elder daughter at twelve years old, back to england with her.
» all poppy remembers from that point on is fleur looking after her. she can't remember her mother.
» when poppy was four, her mother and sister were killed. her mother, by suicide, her sister ; childbirth. well, she got stabbed in the stomach as well, but that wasn't what killed her. sure, it helped to kill her, but it wasn't just that.
» lora, poppy's neice, was born on november 3rd.
» poppy and lora were taken back to france to live with their father and grandmother.
» poppy was called back to england to investigate her mother's death, and lora was dragged along too.
» fleur had been raped - lora was that child.
» it was lora's thirteenth birthday. not exactly the birthday present she'd been looking forward too.
» upon arriving back to toulouse, poppy requested she be sent to another school. she'd missed far too much work having been away for almost a year, and she didn't particularly want to be subjected to redoubler.
» pierre pulled some strings, and poppy arrived at cha.

Hopes/Goals:

» graduate
» kids, marriage, the whole hog, basically
» ooh, and a career
» can't forget the career.
