Canon;; Non-canon
;; appearance
general;;
Reese has always had this sweet and innocent thing about her with her dark brown eyes, her straight brown hair that comes to halfway down her back and her sweet smile. Her eyes however always seemed to have something mysterious in them that often people would seem to find intriguing. She’s a petite girl, 5.5” with an 115 lbs weight. Naturally with a weight and height like that she’s a lean/slim girl but when times are tough on her she leans more towards being thin.
Reese is not very muscled but her stomach is tight and she does have strength in her arms. Still she is a lot stronger than most people would give her credit for. She has a small Chinese tattoo on her ankle which means love but other than that she doesn’t have tattoos or piercings on her body. All the scars she has are not visible on her body, just on her soul but they do have left a big mark on her. She might be twenty one but because of everything that happened to her in the last four years she has matured and looks older than she really is.
favorite;;
She is definitely not a person who can name instantly ten things they like about herself but she isn’t someone who can’t name one single thing either. Reese is pretty happy with the way she looks and the two things she likes best about herself is her long brown hair and her legs.
hate;;
Reese would like to be a little more muscled. Sometimes she feels her arms are way too skinny / chicken like. Also she’d love to be taller as she usually seems to be a whole lot shorter than her dates turn out to be. That however she manages to compensate with wearing high heels.
heritage;;
Honestly she had no idea what her heritage is as she does not know her birthparents or any person that is related to her through blood. She grew up in America so as far as she knows she’s 100% American.
ethnicity;;
White
;; personality
general;;
Reese has always been the curious one. Especially when things are forbidden or dangerous she wants to try it and experience it herself even if it just a one time thing. Aside to that she sometimes is a little more naïve than had been good for her. She believes in giving people a second chance, and a third one and a fourth one which hasn’t worked out the best for her at times. It was a trait she had learn to live with.
She’s always there for her friends 24 hours a day. Being as sweet as she is she always tries to find the good in people even when they don’t deserve it. This has caused her to be in a few bad relationship that made her insecure and hurt her pretty deeply. Also she can be a bit shy at times which she really can’t stand about herself. Reese has kinda two sides, one being the sweet and shy one and the other one being the mysterious one. She never told anyone everything about her which she thought always kept things interesting. She loves surprises although sometimes she would wish they happened a little more frequent.
Reese seems to fall for the bad-boy type or the bad-girl type seeing as she likes both boys and girls. In the end people always seem to hurt her and/or leave her which has made her believe that she does not deserve love. For a moment she did had believed this when she had been dating Jake but when he died that was another sign to her she wasn’t allowed to have love in her life. This has given her low self esteem on the area of love, making her believe she wasn’t good enough to be loved. That she was she just a girl people liked to have fun with and nothing more.
She is too naïve for her own good and that has led her to get into trouble lots of times. Reese wants to believe in the good side of people a little too much that at times people make use of that in a wrong way. Also she often forgets to take care of herself, being busy with making sure other people are happy.
Reese is too curious for her own good, not to mention how stubborn she can be about something. When she has something in her head it is very hard to make her change her mind. When Reese can’t handle something she grabs to alcohol to try and make her worries/pain go away. And when things get really bad she sometimes turns to drugs to help her leave the world for a good couple of hours. However now that she is a mom she hasn’t done drugs since the moment she found out she was pregnant. She also keeps her drinking to a minimum, the only times she allows herself to have a drink is when she is at home and Nathan is asleep or at a party when Nathan is looked after by one of her friends or her brothers.

;; origins
general;;
Reese grew up in an orphanage in LA where she met two boys, Dane Matthews & Tyson Tanner. From the first day the three grew close and she saw them as her big brothers as they saw her as their little sister. Her own family she had never known and honestly she didn’t know if she even wanted to anymore. At the orphanage they had told her that her parents didn’t want her anymore and had kind off dumped her here on her seventh birthday. The strange thing being that she couldn’t remember anything from before the orphanage. She had no memories or whatsoever about her parents and no one could, or would, tell her anything about them.
Life in the orphanage was hard and no place you would want your kid to grow up in. It was known for older kids to not get adopted anymore, or easily, cause young families would rather adopt themselves a brand new baby than a seven year old kid. So till the age of seventeen Reese lived with her brothers at the orphanage but got kicked out as soon as she had graduated. For a while she lived with her brothers who already had found themselves a small apartment and low pay jobs to pay rent. When with her brothers Reese was the sweetest girl you could imagine but that wasn’t who she really was.
Eventually when she had saved enough money through busting tables in some diner she moved out of her brothers place and got herself a small place of her own at the age of seventeen. Reese was different now that she had her own place and own life. She would often get herself in trouble, hang out with the wrong kind of people and let them crush her heart. She was living in a world where people always left and hurt her but she pretended everything was just fine. No one wanted a crying and nagging girl around so Reese was what everyone wanted her to be: fun, feisty, happy and playful.
Reese was the kind of girl who gathered a lot of people around her and she did have friends she could count on. But Reese was a loving person, she needed someone to love, to take care off but with her liking the bad boy type that did not always work out that well. Right until she met Jake when he visited a small bar where she worked. He was sitting at the counter and for some reason he looked sad. So, doing what bartenders did, she got him a drink and asked him if he was okay. How cliché it might sound, for the both of them it was love at first sight at that very moment. For two years they dated and Reese had never been more happy than she was with Jake. She really believed he was the one for her, that they would get married and end up having a house filled with kids.
Everything seemed to be going well for a change until that one night, that should have been the best of her life, changed everything. Jake had rented a luxurious hotel room and during a romantic walk in the park he had asked her to marry him. Reese had said yes without needing a second to think about it and to celebrate it they went for ice cream down town. Something they both loved and had made their habit, eating ice cream, when they had something to celebrate.
While they were walking hand in hand down the street that lead to the centre of the town the last thing Reese could remember before all hell broke loose were Jake’s brown eyes looking at her and a smile on his face that made her heart speed up. The next thing she knew she was sitting on the ground, her dress covered in his blood and Jake laying in her arms. Rocking back and forth, holding him, tears were running down her face. Never would she forget how he looked at her...telling her that he loved her right before he died.
Jake had died while protecting her when they suddenly got caught in a gang fight. Something that was unfortunately something that happened a lot in a city like LA. Bullets had been flying everywhere and when Jake saw some kid pointing his gun at Reese he had jumped in front of her to protect her. When she was holding him in her arms, watching him die all she could do was tell him she loved him while tears ran down her cheeks. The ones responsible have never been caught but even if Reese isn’t a murderer she would personally kill the son of a b*tch responsible for killing her fiancé.
Two months later Reese found out she was pregnant with Jake’s son. Dealing with the death of Jake was hard but now that she would become a mother in seven months there was no room for Reese to break down. She knew she needed to be strong, if not for herself than to for her son. Needing a break, a change, Reese moved to Australia as she and Jake had talked about living there in the near future. It was hard, leaving her friends and brothers behind but staying in LA was killing her as everything seemed to remind her of Jake. So for the last two and a half years Reese has been living in Sydney where she worked through the loss of the love of her life while raising Nathan and working her ass off as a bartender. Now, two years later, Reese is moving back to her brothers in LA as it is time for her and Nate to come home.

sample;;
For the first time in like months things were actually going good. Things weren’t awkward between her and Axton anymore, Damien was doing good – as Reese was now almost eight months pregnant-, she was in love again and with Tyler since a month, she didn’t have to work for a good while and Toby was still clean. Right now she was happy, really happy but most of all so damn proud of her babies daddy. For a while now there had been no drugs as far as she knew and maybe it would stay that way too. Granted, there were no certainties but it seemed he was doing alright.
She wanted him to know though, that she was proud of him and believed in him. Toby wasn’t a man of many words and he wasn’t the type to tell you exactly how he felt. Well, unless he was pissed off, but then you just better made sure you weren’t around. But Reese couldn’t imagine he would not like to hear or see how much it meant to her that he was trying to stay clean. There was a big fat chance he would just wave the compliments away or make some sarcastic remark about it but she didn’t care. She’d tell him again and again and again, right until he would just either believe her or made her think he believed her.
She just wanted him to know that it meant a lot to her. That it would mean a lot to their baby.
Which is why she was making him dinner tonight. It wouldn’t be anything fancy but it didn’t really have to be. Reese just wanted to cook his favourite meal for him and later on watch a movie or something. Or anything he wanted really cause tonight was about him. He deserved that, to have a night that was all about him. Although during the cooking she had found out she had forgotten to buy whipped cream and you couldn’t have the prefect dessert without whipped cream. So, even though this night was about him and he shouldn’t have to do anything, she’d had to sent him to the store to go get it for her. Which left her cooking in the kitchen of his apartment all by herself.
As everything with the food was going as it was supposed to be Reese decided to already start setting the table so they could eat as soon as he got home. He’d just left but the store wasn’t that far so Toby would probably be back in half an hour or so, if not sooner. Searching the cabinets in the kitchen for the plates she found them fairly easy. Grabbing two of them she held them in hand while she reached for her glass of water that was standing just besides the sink. Just when she was about to bring it to her lips a sharp pain shot right through stomach and she let the glass fall out of her hand. It shattered as soon as it hit the floor and got quickly followed by the two plates Reese had been holding in her other hand, making the kitchen floor look like a warzone with shattered glass and porcelain.
A moan of pain left her lips when it happened again and she clutched her stomach. What the fuck was going on? This couldn’t be good right?! The phone! Toby! She needed to call Toby! With that in mind Reese looked around for the damn thing, knowing she had left it in her bag which was on the kitchen table. Three steps was all she managed to take before her knees buckled and she fell onto the floor when another sharp pain hit her once more. This time a scream left her lips and her eyes widened when she realized what was going on.
No. No. NO. This was not happening. One more month! Damien wasn’t supposed to be born for another month. While somewhat crawling over the floor Reese managed to get away from the glass and porcelain on the floor but she had to lean with her back against the kitchen wall, still sitting on the floor as she couldn’t get up anymore.
Breathe. Breathe. What the fuck was taking Toby so long?!
