overall: Amanda, like her mother and sister before her, has not grown very tall. She stands only around 5'4. Though she is not very short, she does, at times, feel that way. But her height rarely bothers her. Why worry, when she can do nothing about it? Amanda is thin, but not too thin. She does not partake in many sports, save for tennis, so she is not extremely muscular. Neither is she too thin, for she enjoys eating sweets and junk food. She does not let herself become too heavy, but she cannot deny that she loves unhealthy foods.
Amanda's eyes are brown, which she inherited from her mother. Both Amanda and her older sister have their mother's brown eyes. Their father has blue eyes. Amanda has rather delicate-looking features, with small but full lips. Her face is small, but not too small for her short height. Amanda's straight teeth are a result of braces from eighth grade until March of her freshman year.
Amanda's hair is brown. Amanda's hair falls down past her shoulders. It is curly, but not in small, tight curls. The curls are long and big. She usually uses a curling iron each morning to keep her long curls looking nice. When she does not curl her hair with a curling iron, Amanda's curls tend to look more like waves. Amanda's hair is usually frizzy, but she uses different hair products in her hair to keep the frizz down. Thankfully, these products work. Amanda also has long, side-swept bangs. She does not push them off to the side completely, but they angle towards the side of her face.
As many have said, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Amanda believes this, and so she rarely compliments her looks. If she is dressing up for a special occasion, she will certainly compliment herself. But other times, she will simply push aside her looks as nice. Why compliment herself greatly if others think otherwise? She would rather hear what others have to think of her. For if beauty is in the eye of the beholder, then the beholder should judge how she looks. Judging her own appearance would seem to Amanda like conceitedness.
Amanda's style is rather unique, well, it is less common. She doesn't wear the tight Abercrombie or Hollister shirts that most girls her age wear. However, she does not object to shopping at those stores once in a while. She prefers clothes and jewelry that she feels is different from what most of the girls her age wear. Amanda has seen other girls around with a style similar to hers, but the majority of girls her age prefer a style different to her own.
{personality}
general: Amanda is a somewhat outgoing young girl. She may feel a bit uncomfortable approaching someone she does not know, but if she does not know anyone else around then she does not hesitate to do so. Because of this, Amanda has made quite a few friends throughout her first two years of high school, and also during the years before. Amanda is not the type of person who will sit back and let others walk over her. She does not like to argue or fight with others, but if they try to take advantage of her or her friends, or even if they are doing something she knows is wrong, Amanda will stand up for herself, her friends, or for what she believes in.
Amanda, being outgoing, has a fair amount of friends, all of whom she cares about greatly. She is a great friend, for she'll share any advice she has and help out those she cares about as best she can. She feels she is a better listener than an advice giver, but if her friends come to her for advice she will do her best to help them. Amanda loves hanging out with her friends. She has a loud laugh, which can be heard often. When she's with her friends, Amanda is happiest.
Amanda usually doesn't bother to keep her opinions to herself, unless they will anger or hurt someone. Of course, there are certain things she will keep to herself, even if they really won't hurt or anger another. Some things are better kept in her own head. Sometimes, sharing her thoughts and opinions does not turn out to be a good thing. A few people have gotten angry with her because of some things she's said, but Amanda does her best to make up for any hurtful thing she says.

{history}
birthplace: wherever here is. LA, i think?
family members: adam towers (father), laura towers (mother), marissa towers (sister)
history: Amanda Rose was born on December 19th, to Adam and Laura Towers. The couple were so pleased to have another daughter in their life. Amanda's older sister, Marissa, had been born four years earlier. Marissa was happy with her younger sister, but missed the attention she once had. But as Marissa grew older, she was thankful that Amanda received more attention, for she had more freedom being the older daughter.
Amanda was a rather independent young girl. She did not like her parents worrying over her so much, and liked to meet new people and try new things. She rarely trailed after her sister, which Marissa liked. Amanda became a fairly fearless young girl. When she started school, Amanda made so many friends due to her talkativeness and came home with at least one story each day.
Amanda was thrilled to start High School. She didn't act any differently from the way she did when she was in middle school, and made friends quickly. She had never had a problem with meeting new people, and starting a new school proved no different. She was just as outgoing and kind as she had always been. Now she is in her Junior year, and Amanda has changed little since she started high school, or since she was a young girl.
