x Her mother would say that Nora's a natural beauty. Beautiful brown hair that tends to fall past her shoulders in soft waves and brown eyes that can hold so much emotion. To her mother's dismay, she will choose to dress in jeans and T-shirts over dresses and heels any day of the week. It is a rarity to see her all-dressed up, though she does clean up pretty darn well. Be sure to have a camera handy! Colors do not matter, when it comes to her clothes. It depends on the day what she picks to wear. Her skin is light, barely kissed by the sun's rays. An old

HISTORY:
Nora Lynn Bennett and her sister Emily were the result of a passionate, summer fling between Jane and Vincent. She soon had to leave to go back home and ended up bringing more back than she planned. 9 months later, Miss Jane Bennett brought a pair of fraternal twin girls into the world. Nora got Vincent's dark hair and Emily got Jane's blond curls. Though 12 minutes apart, Nora and Emily became close. Though like typical sibling behavior, fights would ensue about clothes and all that jazz. But at the end of the day, they cared for each other.
Naturally, questions were asked on the wherabouts of their father and Jane usually tried to brush them off. Emily may have given up, but not Nora. She was pretty stubborn. "Got that from your father." Jane would say. Eventually, Nora wore her mother down and got the truth. He lived in Italy. They met, when she went there for the summer. When it came time for her to leave, he wasn't there to say goodbye. He has no idea about Jane being pregnant, because she never told him. She has hardly been involved with a man, since Vincent. After learning of this, Nora decided that when she was old enough -- she would travel to Italy and find her father. Emily was quite onboard with the idea, but fate seemed to have a different plan. One where tragedy would pop into their lives suddenly.
They were 17. It was a Friday night. Nora had wanted to take Emily out to a party, but Emily wasn't a fan of the idea. Her boyfriend had broken up with her the week before and she had a feeling that he was going. Nora managed to convince her to come along. They headed out with Nora behind the wheel. They sang along to whatever the radio chose to play and then, it happened. A drunk driver ran a red light and then crashed into the passenger side of their car. Emily died on the way to the hospital. Being in a small town, can mean a small world. They knew the driver all too well. It happened to be Thomas Gates, the boy who broke Emily's heart the week before. Nora was devastated by the loss of her sister, blaming herself. "Should've never made her go with me.", Nora would tell herself.
After instances of cutting herself and vowing to never sing again, she lived on and continued onto college. Then, one day, Nora decided to keep the promise to find their father. For Emily. So, once school was all done for the summer, Nora packed her bags and was off to Italy. Nora had interesting timing, with the festival going on and all.
