This is Cleo. She's the next-to-main character in my comic. Overall, Cleo is a very mysterious one. She's very quiet in most situations and doesn't talk much, unless she's around her fiance, Cal. A smile is usually found on her face, showing off her generally optimistic view of the world. However, while usually happy, she's easily bent out of shape by the smallest little upsets in life and suffers from terrible mood swings. You might be able to consider her bi-polar at times. Sometimes, she's completely uncontrolable in these situations- and Cal has some bruises to prove it. Nonetheless, she is still loved by him, and she loves him just as much in return for understanding her.
Cleo really doesn't have a set job. She works at home as a painter, and she occasionally writes articles and stories for newspapers and magazines. While she suceeds well in her field of business, she'd rather be an architect or interior designer. Cleo, while having a deeply-rooted passion for the arts, can think very logically. In other words, she thinks extremely well on both extreme oppposites of the brain. So she wants to use these rare talents in a job that she could be forever happy in.
Cleo never got to know her real parents. She was dumped in an orphanage at an extremely young age and was adopted by a new couple. These two became her new "mother" and "father", and she loved and looked up to them, but she always felt as if she was missing the real parental love kids need. Since she never really got that, and her adoptive parents were divorced when she was ten, she's always blamed her emotional problems on them. But as a young child, she was sweet, innocent, and could take pretty good care of herself. School was never a problem for her- she was smart and creative, and succeeded in anything she put her mind to. As a teenager, she grew moody, but was still a star student and role-model daughter. She never had many friends, only about two she would consider her best friends and a small circle of others. But when Cal came along, her life would change.
