Regan Lee Pickwell

-Played by Jackie-

Nickname(s): Reg

Age: 18

Grade: Senior

Birthday: February 14, Valentine's Day.

Appearance: The first thing a person would notice about Regan is her hair - it's shockingly rich red color is 100% natural - which is cut in many layers, the longest just brushing her shoulders. Bangs are noticeable, but are blended in with the rest of the style. Normally she chooses to clip some of it back, in a half-up half-down style, but her bangs are always framing her face. Her next most noticeable feature would be her eyes, if you were to get close enough to her that is. From far away, they look somewhat dark, with a shiny blue tint. Though once you can see them clearly, they reveal a different look. When asked what color her eyes are, Regan simply replies, "Green" instead of saying they are the deep emerald they really are.

After her hair and eyes, Regan is not overly attractive, at least by her standards. She stands at a good 5'5", and is in a healthy weight range for her age but still rather light at 124 pounds. Though, she eats like a pig, so her metabolism must be a wonder of nature. Her skin is almost constantly light and fair because she finds no need in tanning. Something else that should be noted about Regan are her fingers. They're not inhumanly long, but they are longer than the average person's fingers, and perfect for piano playing.

As for her style, well, she pulls from everywhere and everything, mixing the styles together to form a somewhat unique look. Her closet contains things from American Eagle and H&M, Hot Topic, Salvation Army, Target, and even somewhat more costly items from Macy's and Disel from her single trip to NYC. Regan considers herself to be somewhat 'hip' in her attire; drawing from the masses and putting her own spin on it. Probably her favorite article or group of articles in her wardrobe would be her scarves - she can work one into every outfit - which at last count totalled fourteen different scarves. Now, all of this moderately priced fashion goodness is grand, but at home Regan is a different person. She enjoys her comfort and wears pyjama bottoms and old tee shirts around the house, usually matched with her favorite fluffy slippers.

Personality: Regan is a fairly simple person when it comes to her personality. She's genuinely nice to everyone, tends to spend a lot of time thinking about the world and pondering existence and such, and she has an undying love for the arts. Each of these aspects can be picked at and if you were to do so completely then she'd be a pretty complex person. As for being nice and friendly, she's like that around everyone and anyone. She's a pretty sociable girl, a bit shy at first but someone who will quickly warm up to you in any social situation.

She does have a bit if a trust issue, mostly in the sense that she trusts everyone, and can bear her soul to a complete stranger if the whim ever struck her. It has caused some problems, including those with her ex boyfriend Guy Greystone, but even after that, she still can't help but trust those around her. This also creates a problem of not having any real close friends, almost creating an acquaintance with everyone instead of a real friendship with some.

Her perceptive and curious nature probably stems from the way she was raised, and she appreciates the ability to think in new and contemporary ways. Regan would never be content with being a simple-minded pretty girl, or a simple-minded anything for that matter. She hopes to one day make a difference in the world, not just stable it out like most people end up doing, and she hopes to do so by writing or, better yet, playing piano. For Regan, the instrument is merely an extension of herself, her body, and she has mastered it as such. And her pieces are produced almost involuntarily; she can sit at the piano and a song will play in her head, and she will play it on the keys. She approaches it like religion, her music is her proof of God, and when she plays it is merely prayer. In this sense, she is a very spiritual person, but she has never followed a practical, standardized religion.

Family: She was raised mainly by two people her father, and her 'Aunt'. Her father Jameson Pickwell is a 43-year-old nurse at Ridgefield Memorial Hospital, and part time writer. His life long close friend Alexandra 'Allie' Swann (43-year-old) is a social worker with an adoption agency in Seattle (and the reason for Jameson adopting Regan), and is affectionately referred too as 'Aunty Allie'. It was almost two years ago that his father finally married a co-worker and anesthesiologist called Marina Giordano (41 years) who he'd been working with for ten years, and dating for four. The family have three dogs currently (though the number varies as they sometimes breed), Annie and Queenie who are sisters, and one of Queenie's puppies which is Regan's dog Cushla.

History: Regan's adoptive father never really thought much about being a father, nor ever having children, but things didn't go that way. At the time Regan was conceived, Jameson was a nurse by day, a wannabe writer by night, who was so absent-minded that he often forgot to pay his rent. The idea that a year later, he'd have a daughter would have been enough to make him laugh, but his closest friend saw otherwise. Alexandra 'Allie' Swann had known Jameson since he was in elementary school, and one of the few people that could understand and make sense of her close friend. It was when she came visiting the hospital where he worked for lunch that she saw first hand just what a brilliant father he would be.

Jameson was hovering over the crib of a baby girl whose mother had been killed in a car accident. Normally this would have been just another patient but the baby's mother came in as a Jane Doe, and the injured child was stuck in a hospital in pain, and discomfort with no family. Jameson took every spare moment he could to keep the little girl company and hold her so she didn't feel so alone. After three days, the young baby's relatives were located and she got to have her real father by her side as her hospital stay continued. But it was in that first few moments that Allie had seen him holding the baby in his arms, talking to her to calm her that Allie realized his father potential. With Allie working for an adoption agency, it was less then a year later that she got to hold the camera as Jameson held Regan in his arms for the first time, tears willing in his eyes instantly when he was told 'I'd like you to meet your daughter'.
