Jay Alcina

Bisexual

Female

Seventeen

Jay is generally mellow, she's quiet around people she doesn't know unless provoked. If you get her mad, however, there is no holding her back. She's quick to fight and is more physical than verbal when it comes to attacking people, which has gotten her in a fair bit of trouble at school.
She's not stupid, though, book wise she's above average, she got a 31 on her ACT, and does good on all of her finals, she just hardly attends school. She's always exhausted and takes the chances of silence in her house to get some rest.
Street wise, she knows her way around. She can fight, she knows what kind of people you avoid and how to get out of sticky situations, as well as what strings to pull to get what she wants when she can't afford it. (Yes it's usually sex).
She's hard into drugs, and has a nicotine addiction at the moment, is an occasional drinker and heavy weed user. She never does anything hard though, after a bad Acid trip she decided she'd stick to weed. She isn't embarrassed about her addictions either, and she only hides it if failing to do so will get her in legal trouble.
She's widely considered the "bad kid" of school, she's been to juvy once, and word spread quick. Rumors also fly that she's a whore that loves fucking with peoples emotions. Despite this reputation, those close to her will know she's just struggling.
She genuinely cares about others, she just has a low tolerance for assholes. She's more concerned with the well being of others than that of herself, seeing as she disregarded her own safety and mental state a long time ago.
She loves stuffed animals and would love to be a more typical girl given the opportunity, but she has neither the funds nor the will to attempt such.

Growing up, Jays family was poor, and that's never changed. Her father was an addict, and her mother was stuck in a marriage with her high school sweet heart. Her father never skips the opportunity to tell Jay she was only born because his condom broke, and the man genuinely hates every ounce of her being.
Her mother isn't necessarily fond of her either, but she is much less extreme then her father. When Jay's mom found out she was pregnant she tried to get an abortion, but it wasn't covered by their heath insurance and they didn't have the funds, so they had to carry through with the pregnancy.
When Jay was born her family moved into a shitty little trailer park. It has two bedrooms, but Jay has been forced to sleep on the couch since she was ten, because divorce wasn't an option in the minds of her parents.
It was around the time she was ten that she really understood that her father had an addiction. He was an alcoholic that spent most of the family's money (the money her mother earned, as he was unemployed) on beer, scotch, and gambling. Due to the tensions that caused them to stop sharing a bedroom, he started to get worse, and get more abusive than he had been. Previously he might have slapped Jay for doing something stupid, but he'd full on beat her now for no reason, whip her with his belt for so much as saying something when he didn't want her to.
When she was twelve she went to juvy for three months because she beat some kid to the point where he was hospitalized for a month. They lowered her intended sentence for reasons currently unknown. Though her mother speculated that the jury thought Jay was being abused and felt bad for her.
More recently he's been threatening to sell her off to someone because she's "useless and a waste of money as is" and would "be worth more as some drug dealers whore." He'll hit her with beer bottles or other things, whatever is in his hand.
She's been spiraling lately, and is on the verge of needing to retake her senior year, but part of her really doesn't care anymore. She wouldn't have the money to go to college anyways.
