Overall Personality: Honey is the kind of young woman who is as equally strong minded as she is impressionable. She aims for the stars, only to allow herself to be distracted by things that threaten to detour her journey. There is a deep seeded insecurity within her (stemming from childhood issues) that makes it almost impossible for her to trust her instincts, leaving her confused when faced with crucial decisions. She tends to avoid the complications in life by taking pills to make herself feel emotionally invincible.
She isn't necessarily cold, but she's always on guard to make sure no one takes advantage of her. If there's one thing she doesn't fall for, it's immediate kindness. Kindness, to Honey, is always attached to an alterior motive. She's more likely to respond better to straight-forwardness and a more bold demeanor. It's more comforting for her to be around a wolf, than a wolf hiding in sheep's clothing.
But there is a side of Honey that comes out when she feels it's all right to let her hair down a little. She can be witty, charming, expressive and even warm. Pills tend to emphasize these traits and bring them out more forcefully. However, when the chips are down and she feels the weight of the world on her shoulders, all of her weaknesses combine themselves to create a person Honey would rather not expose - especially not around her two year old daughter.

Overall History: Honey was born in a privileged household in upstate New York that afforded her many opportunities and luxuries early on in her life. She attended an upperclass private elementary school for most of her youth and lived a quiet, suburban life until her father was arrested and subsequently convicted of tax evasion when Honey was just 11 years old. The arrest was a major turning point Honey's life, as from there it would never be the same again.
Following the imprisonment of her father, Honey and her mother lost their home and assets, leaving them with a limited amount of funds to move elsewhere and start a brand new life. They found that life in Brooklyn. But the adjustment from MasterCard to Foodstamp card was anything but easy. Honey and her mother now occupied a smaller home, a used and malfunctioned vehicle, a less-packed refrigerator and an environment that didn't take kindly to the white shade of their skin. This was a tougher place to live and they knew that in order to survive, they had to rough-it-out just like everyone else in the neighbourhood. Their prissy and entitled demeanors were replaced with more meaningful, resourceful traits, like open-mindedness and the ability to overcome obstacles.
But growing up in Brooklyn wasn't the only challenge for Honey Collins - she also had to deal with blossoming into teenhood without the protective guidance of a loving father. She missed his presence in her life, which was now limited to weekly letters and occasional phone calls. Unfortunately, the letters and calls only made her more resentful and in search of filling the void her father left behind. Her search came to an end during her sophomore year in High School, when she was dared by a friend to ask a Viper gang member out on a date. His name was Jared Hawkins, but he went by Razorblade because the switchblade was his weapon of choice. At first, the danger of even entertaining the thought of desiring such a person was a major turn off. However, after observing him for a good two weeks and being teased for failing to make good on the dare, that fear slowly melted away and turned into passion and lust. She was obsessed now. Sure, she was enamored by the way he licked his lips, the animalistic glint in his eye and the swaggerous beat of his walk, but that wasn't what sold her. It was his control, power and obvious nature of wanting to protect what's his. And she wanted to be his; to be protected and cared for like her father never could. So she made herself available to him, and he accepted her... just like that.
Sadly, the problem with falling for a gangster, is that you run the risk of loving a dead man walking. Eventually, Razorblade's wicked ways caught up to him, and sealed his fate. This was, of course, devastating for Honey, more-so because just hours before learning of his death, she found out she was pregnant. She'd spent hours going over how she was going to present the news to him, but it was all for nothing. He was gone and she was alone to deal with it all on her own. Much to her mother's disappointment, Honey dropped out of high school to get herself together behind closed doors. Two years after giving birth to her daughter, Raze, who was named after her late boyfriend's Viper alias, Honey returned to high school to finish her education. Thanks to careful planning and orchestrated lies, the secret of her absence remains a mystery to many... at least for the time being.
Now Honey is just trying to make it through the day without dwelling on the past. But that's easier said than done, considering all she can think about is the pain of such great loss. Where will she go from here? The story remains to be written, but so far, the chapter opens bittersweet.

RP Sample:
Hayden knew he had finished the rest of the wine, and was hoping that Caden would have some more in her dorm, and hoping that on the off chance he was invited up. See Hayden knew that all prefects had a room to themselves. Now a room to them self’s and alcohol this could very well turn out to be an interesting night.
While thinking of this plan, Hayden didn’t even notice, Caden realising the bottle was empty or even her getting up. He looked up and there she was standing over him, with an outstretched hand and the look of she wanted to leave. So Hayden slowly get up, Caden reached down to retrieve the blanket, and wrapped it around herself. She must have been freezing.
Once up Caden had hold of Hayden’s hand once more and was leading him back towards the dorms. 'Yes' Hayden thought. They were walking for about five minutes when they arrived at Caden dorm. Hayden followed Caden up the same path t her room, that many other guys before him had, the room of the one and only Caden Wood.
Once at her room, Hayden just stood in the doorway, as Caden walked over to a drawer and pulled out a pack of beers. Hayden was still so mesmerised by the fact that he a little non-existent fifth year. That Caden had to run over and pull him into her room, Hayden had only just managed to catch the door with his foot and it closed with a "Click"
Hayden couldn’t believe it he was sitting not only in Caden Wood's room, but on her bed. How many fifth years could say that? Hayden not really feeling like another drink at the moment was just taking everything in, from the way everything was placed to the was it smelt like a mixture between her sweet sent and alcohol. Hayden loved everything about this. Tonight was definitely a night he will never forget. While once again lost in his thoughts which he made a mental not to let happen anymore around Caden, he didn’t even realise Caden had place her arm around him. "What now, Babe? You thirsty?" Caden had asked him, in that sweet innocent voice of hers.
Did he want another drink, He did but he didn’t. He didn’t want to forget this night, but he also didn’t want Caden to think he was soft. But what the fuck, 'Yeah sure id love another one, on one condition." Now this condition would either get him a slap in the face and result in him being kicked out of Caden room, or be the beginning of a very interesting night. "You have to kiss me." Hayden replied with a smirk. This could either work in his favour or completely backfire. Only time will tell.
