overall : isaac is somewhere who cares more about what he looks like than most girls his age. he is very into the way he looks; if even a hair is out of place, he won't go out in public. it only has to look right to him, though. he knows his style isn't something that absolutely everyone likes, and he's okay with that. he likes piercings, so he has them. he likes hair dye, so he experiments with his hair. he wears tight jeans because he wants to, he wears tight shirts because he wants to. it doesn't matter if it doesn't look right to other people; that's besides the point. but if it doesn't look right to him, it takes a lot for him to even leave his house.

he is tall and gangly, something he inherited from his father. his mother and sister have always been on the shorter side, and he loves to make fun of them for it. he doesn't even remember his natural hair color since he dyes it so often; it was a shade of blonde, but that's the only thing he can actually remember. he's had his nose pierced since he was fifteen, something he promised his sister he'd take her to do once their parents allowed it.

* what you see ,

overall personality : isaac is the kind of person who you can hear and recognize from across the room. he's always loud and fun, unafraid to laugh loudly and scream something out if he feels the need. he is literally the most spastic person you would ever meet. he loves having a good time, and it's rare that he'll let anything get in the way of that. it annoys a lot of people, but he doesn't care.

however, if he thinks you're wrong, he'll call you out on it. he's not afraid to start a fight with someone over issues; anything from war to vegetarianism and anything in between. he keeps fighting and stating his opinions no matter what, even if he knows he's wrong. he'll never get into any sort of physical fight, though; that is going too far, even for him. he believes that everything can be solved by discussion, and perhaps a little bit of yelling to get the point across. it isn't below him to protest; in fact, it's something he does quite often.

he has always been extremely insecure about everything about himself, but he doesn't dare let anyone know about it. everything from his looks to his friends to his home and the people in it, he worries about. when he was younger, he was always concerned that people wouldn't like him, and he went through many phases to try to find the part of him that people would like. finally, though, he gave up on that fact, and decided to stay his normal, hyper self, and allow the whole world to see that. still, though, he worries that people won't accept him; that is perhaps his worst fear.

the boy is a VERY firm believer in karma; In his mind, what goes around comes around, just like the song. if someone does something stupid or is a bitch to him, he'd never take action. he knows that they'll get whats coming to them without his help, and, most of the time, that does happen. he'll only take action against a problem if it really, truly is bothering him to extreme degrees, and even then he'll only go as far as to yell.

quirks : his face constantly defaults to a smile; the only time he's not smiling or smirking is when something is really wrong, when he's nervous he scratches behind his ear, he runs his hands through his hair constantly.
fears : the apocalypse, something happening to his little sister, not being accepted
flaws : he's extremely loud and he doesn't care whether it bothers you or not, he won't stop arguing even if he knows he's wrong, he's too dramatic.
secrets : he is almost positive he's gay, he spends more time in front of the mirror than his sister does, he actually cares what people think, even if he tries to play it off like he doesn't.

gabrielle emily mello // seventeen

history : when april mello found out that she was pregnant with her second child, a boy, there was much debate over what the unborn baby's name would be. there were baby-naming books purchased, baby name websites visited, and opinions asked. everyone gave their own opinion, but april and her husband, joe, couldn't quite decide on a name. she wanted something classic, like emily or elizabeth, to match the classic name of her already two year old daughter, cassandra. joe wanted to think outside the box. and there was, of course, the opinion of cassie, who wanted to name her brother to be named "big bird". when the baby finally arrived, however, they couldn't think of anything better to name him than isaac anthony mello; isaac after joe's father and anthony after april's father.

after cassie got over the disappointment that her brother wasn't named 'big bird' as se'd hoped, she and isaac got along better than most siblings can say they do. zac would always tag along with her and her little friends, even when he was still tiny. the girls found it was a fun opportunity; they'd dress him up in their dresses and make him model for their parents. the little boy didn't know any better, and he loved it. they'd play in the sandbox together, he'd play barbies with her, and he never complained when she prefered to play with dolls rather than the monster truck toys he was always given by his family.

when isaac was three and cassie was five, another baby came into the mello family; another little girl was was named gabrielle emily. for the longest time, five year old cassandra was hideously jealous of the new baby, and isaac didn't know any better but to follow his older sister's example. their mother and father always seemed to pay so much more attention to baby gabrielle, and neither of the two children were very good at giving up attention. cass and isaac did many things to bring the attention back to them, going so far as to hide the infant gabbi in miscellaneous places and tell their parents to find her, not-so-secretly hoping that they would not. finally, their parents convinced them to cut it out, and they did; they didn't want to make mommy and daddy madder than they already were. it was only at that point that isaac decided that he actually liked having both a baby sister and a big sister.

over the years, isaac got extremely close to his younger sister, enough to actually act like they were related. after that point at age two, he loved both his sisters more than anything else in the entire world. that love was mirrored back in both cass and gabbi, and the three siblings were absolutely inseperable. they were the kind of siblings that would convince their friends to let brother and sister tag along, because "they were cool" and "not annoying". even they knew that most brothers and sisters couldn't stand each other most of the time, and they were proud to be in that minority.

when isaac was fifteen and gabbi was twelve, the worst possible thing happened. cassandra, who was seventeen at the time, was dropping off her friend at her house late at night after going to a late movie. wile she was driving home, the car was hit by a drunk driver, and she died on impact. it seemed as though the entire family, isaac and gabrielle as well as their mother and father, were never going to recover from that dark time in their lives.

after cassie died, isaac became more protective of and close to gabbi than he'd ever been. of course they'd always been close, and he'd always been the type of big brother that looked out for her in every aspect of their lives. after cass was gone, though, she was the only sister he had left. they'd always been close, but they got even closer. that was why it killed him when he went away to college in new york when he was eighteen; he was leaving his sister behind in los angeles. that summer break after his freshman year, though, he came home to find their things in boxes and bags packed. the family had found a house close to new york city so that they could be closer to isaac during the school year, and he couldn't have been happier.
