[attr="class","hopelovetitle"]APPEARANCE
[attr="class","hopelovetop"][attr="class","hopelovesub"]HAIR // Dark Brown[break]EYES // Brown[break]SKIN // Fair[break][break]ATTIRE[break][break] Having something of an aversion to having her hair falling into her face or brushing across the nape of her neck, Jocelyn will often be seen with her hair pulled into some form of updo whether it be a messy ponytail or loose bun. Plagued with sensitive skin, Jocelyn has taken a strong stance against the application of most make up aside from a little mascara and a bit of lip gloss. In continuing her campaign to not draw any unnecessary attention to herself, Jocelyn avoids bold colors in her wardrobe leaning more towards neutral and earth tones. While she isn't big on fancy styling of her hair, Jocelyn does like to shake things up every now and then by dying it but sticks to natural shades such as brown, black and even blond. Jocelyn's attire leaves entirely everything to the imagination.
[break][break]That is to say that her clothes are always loose and free flowing. Not only is Jocelyn not a fan of form-fitting clothing, but she also tends to avoid low cut shirts with plunging necklines. While 'dressing up' is a rarity, Jocelyn actually cleans up fairly well when the situation calls for it. As it is likely the only time that one might see Jocelyn swathed in luxurious fabric with heavy embroidery and sparkly jewelry. Footwear is perhaps the only area in which Jocelyn pays attention to fashion trends and seeks out designer clothing. As with all other aspects of her wardrobe, when it comes to jewelry Jocelyn practices simplicity. There are two main staples in regards to accessories; a simple gold band wore on the ring finger of her right hand and a vintage gold locket with a faded and fairly illegible inscription.
[break][break]GENERAL[break][break] Jocelyn works hard to be as inconspicuous as possible and her attire is often a stark reflection of that decision. While she tends to stop short of being unkempt, Jocelyn's overall appearance can be described as disheveled at best. Standing at 5'4, Jocelyn has a very lean build with delicate curves. She is fair skinned with a heart shaped face and deeply expressive almond shaped brown eyes. Blessed with naturally high cheekbones, Jocelyn has a snub shaped nose and very full lips. Jocelyn has straight dark brown hair that is often mistaken for black depending on the lighting and bright honey brown eyes.

[attr="class","hopelovetitle"]PERSONALITY
[attr="class","hopelovetop"]Jocelyn is a very private person that has been borderline obsessed with keeping her social circle as compact as possible. She detests being the center of attention and this is particularly the case when in public venues where people are likely to be recording with their cellphones. Jocelyn isn't a big fan of surprises for that matter either and may likely even respond violently when startled. She tends to be overly cautious in terms of security and possesses something of a dark sense of humor at times. Jocelyn is very adventurous and something of an adrenaline junkie. A fact that she keeps well hidden from her circle of friends. Jocelyn is exceptionally clever and quite resourceful. [break][break]She is rather adept at thinking on her feet. Particularly, in sticky situations. Assuming that she deems you worthy of her respect, one will find Jocelyn to be an extremely loyal friend. Typically, she is as even-tempered as they come unless of course you threaten or harm someone that she cares for. Jocelyn is a health food nut that prefers to live as active of a lifestyle as possible. She tends to operate within the very letter of the law often getting upset when those around her commit even minor infractions such as littering.
[attr="class","hopelovetitle"]HISTORY
[attr="class","hopelovetop"]Born and raised in Tijuana it had always been the dream of Juan and Maria Moreno to immigrate to the United States. However, it wasn't until the amorous newlyweds discovered that Maria was with child that they were finally driven to flee the crime laden city. Desperate to provide a better life and a brighter future for their child, the couple sought out the assistance of a highly recommended 'coyote' to smuggle them across the US-Mexico border. Upon crossing the border, Juan and Maria met up with Juan's cousin Pedro whom had obtained permanent residency in the U.S. after marrying a U.S. citizen. The pair moved in with Pedro's family and just five short months later gave birth to a beautiful baby girl whom they named Katia. With the assistance of Pedro's wife Maria was able to obtain a job as a housekeeper at a local hotel while Juan began working on a construction site with Pedro. [break][break]
Before long Juan and Maria had saved up enough to strike out on their own. Over the next few years Katia blossomed and flourished as she began school. Even as she learned English, Katia passed that knowledge on to her parents. Friendly, kind, and intelligent, Katia was well liked by both her peers and her teachers. A typical American teenager she was obsessed with social media and technology. When she wasn't practicing with her school's dance team, Katia spent her days texting, talking on the phone, and posting on instagram. For a short while, everything in Katia's life was perfect until one day when her father took ill. Despite his best efforts to treat his illness at home, he grew sicker and sicker until her mother was forced to take him to the hospital.[break][break]
While being treated in the hospital her parents' undocumented status was discovered leading to their detainment and subsequent deportation. Having been born in America, Katia was spared deportation however with her parents deported and the government being unable to immediately locate her next of kin, she suddenly found herself orphaned and thrown into foster care. It was during this time that Katia came to understand the full extent of human greed. After being placed with several sets of foster parents that were more interested in the money obtained from accepting foster children than the care of said children, Katia realized that she would have to learn to fend for herself. With no money and without any means to obtain any, Katia soon turned to shoplifting in order to get what she needed.[break][break]
Perhaps she was too skilled a thief or maybe the store employees were simply too preoccupied with other things to take note of her thievery. Whatever the case, the lack of consequences for her actions had turned what began as a means of survival into an exciting game of chance of which Katia was becoming addicted. Katia soon became a bit too cocky and reckless in her endeavors which eventually led to her not only being caught but being sent to a juvenile detention facility. It was here that Katia met and befriended several like minded teens whom not only encouraged her adrenaline seeking ways, but offered her 'tricks of the trade' as it were. Whereas she had always pilfered items out of necessity and perhaps a bit of fun, these thieving teenagers did so regularly and often sold their ill gotten goods for profit. Which she suspected was likely what had landed them in juvenile detention alongside herself.[break][break]
This band of bandits was headed by a devilishly handsome rogue that would later become an integral part of Katia's life. The tribe of misfits provided Katia with the sense of belonging that she so desperately craved as well as replaced the family she felt had been stolen from her. Upon being released from the facility, the group of friends remained in touch and one day while engaging in their typical hijinks they encountered a man that would change the course of Katia's life. The mysterious stranger turned out to be an affiliate of a well known local gang. It would seem that something of great value to the gang's leadership had been stolen from a warehouse and they were desperate to retrieve it. Being that the recovery of said item was likely to be very dangerous the gang was willing to pay a substantial amount of money to anyone brave enough to make the attempt. [break][break]
Up until this point, the members of the group had only been petty criminals at best and accepting such a task would be a leap into a much higher level of criminality than most of them were comfortable with. In the end, the only members of the group bold enough to take on the assignment were Katia and the group's leader. A decision that likely played a major part in the two falling for one another. The execution of the task was hardly the coordinated effort with which the pair was used to operating, nevertheless the two of them were able to recover the item if not just barely. The success of that mission had placed her name and that of her now boyfriend's in the ears of some very powerful people as a duo to call upon when the need arose to obtain hard to access items and just like that Katia's nefarious hobby had suddenly become a lucrative career.
[break][break]
A year later, much to her delight, Katia aged out of foster care. The frugality that she had implored since the beginning of her career as a professional larcenist afforded her the ability to obtain a modest apartment in a fairly upscale neighborhood. The next six years were quite good to Katia. Thievery paid well and the former foster child had now developed a taste for the finer things in life; driving luxury cars, dining in expensive restaurants and upgrading from her modest apartment to a posh penthouse that she currently shared with her boyfriend. The information provided when accepting an assignment had always been rather ambiguous in nature and frankly that was how Katia preferred it as it spared her having a crisis of conscience. That all changed with what ended up being Katia's final mission with the organization. It's unclear what she witnessed when Katia showed up a few minutes earlier than the expected meet up time but what is clear is that it rattled the young woman to her core.[break][break]
A true professional, Katia managed to complete the task assigned to her despite her discomfort. However, as she returned home that evening Katia expressed a desire to her partner to terminate their working relationship with the organization. Having caught a glimpse of their employer's ruthlessness, Katia was certain that her life was in danger. However, sadly she couldn't manage to convince her partner of such. Forcing Katia to make the difficult decision to leave her lover of six years without notice. Nearly emptying their savings, Katia fled the state to settle in a small coastal town in California. Upon arrival, the young woman immediately filed to have her name legally changed to Jocelyn Maitland, the first name being one of her childhood friends and the surname being the name of one of the few decent foster parents she'd had growing up. In addition, she dyed her chocolate colored hair black and began wearing contacts. Obtaining a job as a dance teacher, Katia has been residing in the small town for the past two years. [break][break]
