--- INVENTIVE Jake is the type who is always looking around for inspiration on new ways to do something. A new take on an old tradition is her favorite kind of discovery. Though she is all for purism when it comes to how she shoots her films, preferring film to HD seeing as she likes the process of splicing, Jake is no stranger to doing crazy things to try and find a new angle. There are always ideas running through her head, so many it makes her seem almost aloof at times.
--- LOQUACIOUS A lover of conversation, especially the deep and meaningful kind. Jake has always been the talkative one. She has no shame when it comes to breaking awkward silences or meeting someone new. Jake can be unrelenting when it comes to getting people to talk things out, especially when she knows that there is something wrong. Jake's propensity to be a 'chatty-kathy' often times will get her into difficult situations as she tends to blurt out what she's thinking without any filtering. But she can be equally as good at getting out of said situations. Though there is a brutal honesty to this.
--- COMPASSIONATE Jake is a caring person. Her father used to call her a 'Bleeding Heart Liberal' everytime she expressed concerned for others. Despite the constant knockdowns of her youth, Jake made sureshe retained her compassion for others. She points to this as her best trait. She's the first one to console someone crying on a bench, even if she's never met them. But that certainly doesn't mean she's a pushover

Jake was born in London, England to Mikhail and Lana Delran. Her parents owned a wholesale distribution company that had clients all over the world. They lived in many places until Jake was born when the pair finally decided to settle back down in London.
Jake’s early childhood was filled with trips to Continental Europe and the Americas, where she was introduced to her parents array of friends. Jake never minded, as a child she loved the attention her parents friends would give her. Jake showed early interest in the motion picture industry, preferring to spend her free time at home locked in her room watching movies from all the ages of Hollywood. Her father was supportive of all of Jake’s creative aspirations but wouldn’t live long enough to see them come to fruition.
June 16th, 2003. It was the day that would forever change Jake’s life. At fourteen, her parents were killed in a plane crash on their way to New York. Jake had opted to stay home for the week they would be gone as her friends had planned a trip to the South London Film Festival for Jake’s birthday. The news would shatter Jake. She was sent to live with her mother’s best friend. Her Godmother who lived in New York.
The adjustment to life in New York was difficult, to say the least. Jake was used to her routine, something that she tried to cling to with the move. But the drastic change in locale made that nearly impossible. Jake grew to hate New York, despite the close bond she’d begun to form with her Godmother Eloise. She wasn’t well received by her classmates either. Jake’s tendency to dress ‘indie’ was looked down on by the upper class kids in her class. The English transplant did her best to focus on school, though the entire infrastructure of the American education system was somewhat of a shock as well. It was, in Jake’s own words “A complete lower class educational system.”
Still, she excelled. Jake’s creative aspirations had turned to college, a good arts school where she might finally fit in. Where her eccentricities wouldn’t be viewed with disdain. The inheritance from her parents would leave her well off when she turned 18. So much so that she was able to get a loft just a block off campus. She lived in the apartment for the four months before school started, far too anxious to get out of New York. Jake was excited at the prospect of being among kindred spirits.
Why Emerson?
Jake's Godmother/Legal Guardian Eloise went to Emerson. Jake had come for a few visits when she was a kid for art and film shows and fell in love with it. But it was the desire to be amongst fellow artists that drove her to apply to Emerson.
There was something about a hot cup of coffee in the frigid November air that always made Adeline feel safe. She wrapped her fingers around the Styrofoam cup and let out a soft sigh. The park was full of students rushing to their morning classes. There was nothing more that Adeline loved than the silent hour she got to spend before her own classes started for the day.
At first glance she didn’t look like much. Her shoulder length brown hair was pulled back into a haphazard ponytail that was further covered by a pale pink bandana. Her sweatshirt was a second hand hoodie she’d found in the far back racks of the salvation army. Adeline didn’t much care that her appearance was a pitiful one. It kept people at bay, and that was just where Adeline liked them. It gave her all the personal time in the world to think.
A lot had changed in her life in the last year and though Adeline had never been the most talkative of people she was far more engaging than she had been. Her brother had been close to death for the last few months and Adeline had dropped all but one of her classes to take care of him. It certainly wasn’t an easy life that she had made for herself, but it was the only life that she could imagine living now.
The park had grown quiet in the last few minutes and Adeline found herself alone again on the bench in the park where she spent all of her waning free time. The petite woman let out a soft sigh as she took another long sip of her coffee. It was the only comfort she had left in life. Adeline couldn’t believe that she counted her life’s only comfort as coffee but that was what life had become.
Adeline glanced down at her watch and sighed heavily. It was amazing how quickly time went by these days. All the minutes and hours seemed to fade into one another. She stood up and started out of the park, blissfully unaware of the looks she was now getting from the few straggling passerby. Adeline knew what she looked like, but it didn’t really matter. She offered a tiny smile to an elderly couple as they walked past her and tossed her empty cup into the receptacle. Life was going to be okay, she could feel that now. That was the purpose of these morning think tanks. She needed them to keep going, and they seemed to help, at the time being at least.
