Blake Ryan is 24 years old and was born in Atlanta, Georgia. Fellow beach bums tell her that she looks like a surfer. She is known to be loyal, spunky, determined , and flirty. However, some also say that she is judgmental, picky, bitchy, and melancholy. For a living, she is a dive instructor. Fortunately for Florida’s Secret Pearl, she is CLOSED.
“Our lives are made, in these small hours these little wonders, these twists and turns of fate. Time falls away, but these small hours. These small hours still remain.”
EVERYONE HAS A STORY TO TELL:
Her parents were college sweethearts, and married when they found out they were expecting. Nine months after their wedding and a move from Georgia to Florida, little Blake was born. She was the only one, since her mother wasn't supposed to have kids. She grew up with a good life, and her family wasn't short on money. In short, she was spoiled. However, despite her comfortable living, she didn't let it affect her kind personality. She valued people over things. In school, she had straight A's. She was liked by everyone and had only a few close friends. Boys were interested in her, but she was focused on school. In college, she bought a beach house so she could continue to surf and continue her study of marine biology. She became a dive instructor. Her family took vacations all the time, since they could. On one vacation to the Caribbean, Blake was attacked by a shark. She survived and still carries the scar.
EVERYONE HAS A SKELETON IN THEIR CLOSET:
Being bitten by a shark is one thing. Being attacked is something totally different. This shark seemed to have it out for Blake. Anything that entered the water was eaten or destroyed. After killing the shark and returning to the beach, she was rushed to the hospital. She recovered completely, but became addicted to the pain killers. She doesn't overdo it since she doesn't want anyone to find out, but the constant need for one is there. It's not the action itself, it's the numbing high she gets when the pain meds kick in.
