I'm not unique. Not that much.

Camilla Westerly. Resident of East Egg. I like people and I like them to like me, but I wear my heart where God put it, on the inside.

[miss-vivienne-tyler]

It’s been so long since I’ve actually had some down-time. I don’t even know what to do……

[camillawesterly-blog]

Why don't you hop on a motorboat and see where the current takes you? 

[jamesslate-deactivated20140411]

I've Missed You, East Egg!

[camillawesterly-blog]

Is that...James Slate?

[hazelnash-archive]

I'm eagerly awaiting yet dreading this Saturday's party.

[hazelnash-archive]

[sighs slightly] Yes, I turned twenty one on Wednesday. I don’t generally celebrate it, and you can understand why. [smiles sheepishly as if to apologize for confusing her]

[camillawesterly-blog]

Oh, God, no, it's all right, I just needed to wrap my head around it all. That must be...so...[thinking of the word] confusing! And I don't mean that in a bad way, or anything like that, but it must be hard. 

[looking at her for a while, Camilla's eyebrows raise] Hang on! You look familiar, terribly familiar--but I'm not exactly sure--do you know the Ziegfield Follies?

I'm eagerly awaiting yet dreading this Saturday's party.

[hazelnash-archive]

Typically I would, but I figured that I should at least try to get out and about this year. Start fresh, and celebrate my birthday while I’m at it. Be happy.

[camillawesterly-blog]

[opens her mouth to reply, then closes it, blinking in confusion] Birthday? What birthday? Where did that come from? Is it your birthday as well?

[hazelnash-archive]

I'm eagerly awaiting yet dreading this Saturday's party.

[hazelnash-archive]

Well, Saturday is the fifth anniversary of my father’s death. It’s not exactly a happy day, generally.

[camillawesterly-blog]

Oh. Oh, I'm so sorry. What if you, um, don't? Don't go to the party, I mean? 

[hazelnash-archive]

I'm eagerly awaiting yet dreading this Saturday's party.

[hazelnash-archive]

I certainly hope so. I just have this feeling that it’ll be the bees knees, though.

Lovely to meet you, Camilla.

[camillawesterly-blog]

Is that the only reason you were dreading it though? You just seemed awfully worried.

[hazelnash-archive]

I'm eagerly awaiting yet dreading this Saturday's party.

[hazelnash-archive]

I was unfortunately unable to go. From what I heard, it was good that I missed this one rather than any of the others.

I don’t believe that we’ve met before. I’m Hazel Nash.

[camillawesterly-blog]

Yes, it's all true [sighs, scratching her head] I'm just hoping he spices things up a little more this time. Hiya, Hazel, I'm Camilla.

[hazelnash-archive]

I'm eagerly awaiting yet dreading this Saturday's party.

It’s an odd combination and I’m not too keen on it. 

[camillawesterly-blog]

Hopefully it isn't as boring as it was last Saturday. Did you attend that one?

[camillawesterly-blog]

Well, I can't say that was the best party of Mr Gatsby's.

[samuel-mckay-deactivated2013100]

Terribly sorry; I missed the party last time.

I figured going to some high-end place up in the city to waste some time and drink to my heart’s content would compensate…but now I have the most terrible headache to prove that it wasn’t a smart idea.

[camillawesterly-blog]

Well, that probably wasn't the best idea, but at least you had the experience. That's what Ms Westerly says, anyway--accept whatever happens to you, at least you gained lessons for next time.

[the-lawyer-in-new-york]

Well, I just thought of something I have to do later and I didn’t want to forget. By the way, I don’t know if we’ve met. My name’s Arthur.

[camillawesterly-blog]

Oh, are you a writer? And no, I don't think we have. It's a pleasure to meet you, Arthur, I'm Camilla.

[camillawesterly-blog]

A pen? Why do you need a pen?

Parfait in New York || Open Para

Huffing, Camilla Westerly took a bite from the parfait she had ordered. If people hadn't been staring and simultaneously whispering about her, her day trip to New York would have been perfect. Fate, however, had a different idea, as Camilla sat through another gruelling session of thinning patience and social restrictions that stated she couldn't flick the gossiping sisters a tablespoon of ice-cream. What annoyed her most was that they were her neighbours--and it was sheer luck that they chose to sit next to her, and she couldn't leave until she had finished her food.

CAMILLA WESTERLY || 20 || EAST EGG || TAKEN || SOCIALITE || CRYSTAL REED

Personality: Camilla never quite fit in with the rest of the crowd. She yearns to escape her reputation on the East Egg as the girl from the “unique” background. She never fully aligned herself with the benefits of having money, even though she has had many years to do so. She keeps to herself and tries to disguise herself in an attempt to blend with the everyone else. She is very secretive, and it takes a while before the girl will come out of her shell.

History: Her mother is a big women’s advocate, one of the leading suffragettes in votes for women and as an act of empowering womankind, adopted a daughter from a local orphanage. She promised to never let the child lift a finger. This was the beginning of the ritzy life for Camilla (now) Westerly. After the initial shock of of the adoption it took awhile to get used to this newfound wealth. She wasn’t used to her meals literally being served on a gold platter. And to this day, both Camilla and the neighbors still haven’t become acquainted with her arrival. She has always been a bit of an outcast on East Egg, escaping to the city whenever she can to blend in with the crowd and not be known as the “child of a unique background”. She constantly goes to large parties with lots of makeup on to further disguise herself and needs to come to terms with the fact that she is different.

Birth date & Place of birth: 7/19 & Boston, Massachusetts

Other: Roleplayer can decide if there has been any drama in her life before her adoption.
