Hopes Peak Academy App: Jenny Mcgregor

My application for ! I really love the idea behind this group, as I absolutely adore murder mystery stories! (and even though I'm really bad at figuring them out, I'll still try my best!! )

Name: Jennifer Mcgregor
Nicknames: Jenna, Jenny
Sexuality: Lesbian (well, bi perhaps, but she tends to favor girls as she finds most guys annoying)
Age: 16
Height: 5'4"
Weight: 115 lbs
Gender: Female
DOB: October 14th

SHSL: Hacker. Once upon a time a teacher was stupid enough to tell her that she couldn’t be violent and smart at the same time, so she set out to prove him wrong and put weeks of time into learning everything about coding and hacking. She then used her new skills to first give the teacher a virus before moving on to larger projects and eventually shutting down the entire school’s computers, in the process accidentally letting loose the secret pictures the principle had been taking in the girl’s locker rooms. Needless to say, she was expelled.

Ethnicity/Race: Scottish
Extra Features: Ears pierced multiple times
Weapon: N/A (not yet, anyway *maniacal laughter*)
Personality: Jenny has split personality disorder: Her main personality is rude, blunt, short-tempered, prideful, stubborn, a troublemaker, and a tsundere, but when she fights all her anger seems to dissipate. In this temporary state, she is motherly and kind, cheerful and girly. This second personality can stay in place anywhere from a couple days to a couple of months, depending on how long it takes before someone makes her angry again.

Likes:
♥ Reading
♥ Cakes
♥ Hand-to-hand fighting
♥ Nice clothing (she likes pretty much all types of clothes if you include both her personalities, which tend to have different wardrobes)
♥ Massages (always has back and neck pain from being hunched over her computer all the time)
♥ Black coffee (often pulls all-nighters)
♥ Dark colors (blood red, black, dark purple, etc.)
♥ Rock, metal, and surprisingly enough, classical music
♥ Meat (the rarer, the better!!)

Dislikes:
X Distractions, especially when she’s trying to work
X Perverts (she will not hesitate to beat you up XDD)
X Loud, obnoxious people
X Homophobes
X Super tight, skin-bearing clothes
X Authority
X People doubting her ability, especially when it comes to hacking
X People who act like she doesn’t speak Japanese
X Fru-fru coffee
X Rap (also claims to hate pop, but always listens to it when she goes ‘sweet’)

Additional Info: N/A

History/Family: Jenny was born to a sickly mother and a prideful father who wanted a son with all his heart and was severely disappointed when his first and most likely only child ended up being a girl. Thankfully with his wife there with him, however, he was able to accept her, although her mother did most of the work raising and nurturing her, while her father was more of background figure who worked for the food on the table and not much else. Then suddenly, her mother’s condition took a turn for the worse, staying several months in the hospital before finally passing away peacefully in her sleep.

Driven mad with grief, Jenny’s father somehow came to the conclusion that if he had had a son, his wife would have been saved, so he forced his beliefs on her. Burning her dolls and anything else remotely girly or from her mother, he left her with only her hair because that was the one thing she refused to give up, later becoming the symbol of her feminism. (which is why she never cuts it and it is currently so long)

After a lot of begging, Jenny’s father finally allowed her and her friend to go to Japan for the summer, but then she decided she liked it so much there (not that she would admit it if you asked) that she decided to move to a small apartment she had found. Her father was furious to say the least, but he had no means to go to Japan to attempt to drag her back himself, so in Japan she has stayed. And that was when she received a curious invitation in the mail…

RP Sample:
“Pfft, you call that a firewall? To fucking easy!” a lone redhead snickered to herself in her dark apartment. The furniture was scarce, a thin metal bed pushed in the corner and a mini-fridge placed conveniently at arm’s reach from the desk she spent most if not all of her days at. This was where she had splurged all her money, buying a large faux leather chair that she thought made her look more villain-like on webcam along with a large-screen computer. The desk was a jumble of wires interjected only by the mouse and keyboard, of course, but also by a huge pile of pilfered cell phones intended to send her victims on a wild goose chase if they ever were to attempt to figure out her location.

Typing the last line of coding with one hand and sipping coffee from a styrofoam cup with the other, red eyebrows furrowed in annoyance when the drink signaled its inevitable end with a loud, obnoxious sucking noise. Grumbling in annoyance, she finished the last precious drops before sighing and stretching as far back as she could, laughing when her back let loose a series of loud snapping noise in time with her shoulders which popped as well, crying out against her nearly constant position of being hunched over the computer. Promising herself a nice run and maybe even a fight to loosen up a bit, she double-checked her work one last time with quick plum eyes, smirking despite herself at her own genius handiwork. Swiveling around in her chair towards the wastebasket, the redhead put her hand in a “beckoning cat”-like pose, letting the cup fly with a quick flick of her wrist and then wincing when it missed the wastebasket entirely, hitting the nearby wall instead before falling to the cold concrete floor.

‘Goddamnit, now I gotta pick that up, too’ She grumbled to herself, swiveling around quickly to click the ‘enter’ key on her keyboard, finishing her work for the night. Standing up, she stretched once again whilst debating whether to exercise or clean up first when a loud, sudden noise startled her.

Her fight or flight instinct kicking in immediately, Jenny felt her hands clench into fists without her even thinking about it, back hunching defensively as she searched desperately for the origin of the noise only to have it turn out being her computer beeping, the words ‘ WARNING’ flashing in bright, bold red letters.

“Now now, what could this be?” she asked herself aloud, unable to keep the amusement and curiosity off her face even as internally she bemoaned yet another night without proper sleep or exercise. Sitting down anyway, the girl immediately began typing faster than most people could keep track of or even see, her own eyes moving rapidly and seemingly glued to the screen as she kept track of both her own coding as well as her opponent’s. Whoever the other person was, he was quite the able opponent, forcing her to think on her feet a lot more than she would have liked in order to avoid whatever it was he was trying to infect her with. After an immeasurable amount of time, however, she finally pulled ahead, adrenaline and pride fueling her to type even faster until she had pulled so far ahead it would take him quite some time to even catch up with her, if he so chose.
Backing away, Jenny cracked her knuckles and just watched, curious about whether he would put up a fight or give up and smirking evilly when he typed a line or two and retreated with his tail between his legs and his pride at least somewhat intact.

It was then that she swiveled back around for hopefully the last time of the night, promising herself a nice dark roast for her hard work only to find the late morning sun already blaring through her window, the morning commute bustling below as people chattered and car horns blared, having gone completely ignored in her earlier trance-like state as she worked.
“Goddamnit, not again!”

LOLOLOLOL, sorry for writing five million paragraphs, I just kinda got carried away and I thought there was no fun in cutting it off short, so I kept it. Don’t worry, I have a habit of having ridiculously long first posts, but after that you’ll be lucky to get more than a paragraph or two out of me XDD

BTW, I know absolutely nothing about hacking other than what I've seen in movies and TV, so be prepared to watch me bullshit my way through this as best I can XDD
