There are days when being [lee] is down right hard. And its definately not easy being [nineteen] and having everyone be jealousy because i've been on the scene for [four] years. But I do what I can to just get myself by. And heres how I do:
Name: riley elizabeth peters
Age: nineteen
Birthday: april 10th
Occupation: waitress
Ethnic: caucasian
Wealth: middle-class
Hometown: rye hills
Sexual Orientation: straight
Relationships: Riley has been through many a relationship, none of them lasting very long. She seems to have trouble holding on to them.
Portrayed By: Hanna-Beth Merjos
Best Feature: Riley's a big fan of the random tattoos she'd gotten over the years with her old friend. Maybe some day she'd go ahead and get some of the other ones they'd talked about.
Worst Feature: Definitely the hair. Riley detests having to fight with her hair to get it just right (although she still does it on a daily basis...) It could be worse, though
Detailed Appearance: at least two paragraphs
Dearest Dream: To become a dancer somewhere in a big city. She doesn't want to be famous, but she does want to be be able to do something she loves
Greatest Fear: Staying in Rye Hills for the rest of her life
Habits: There's almost always a song in her head, so when she gets bored, Riley will sometimes start dancing to her own music regardless of who's around.

Detailed Personality: Wild and energetic, Riley doesn’t really fall under the small-town girl stereotype (not that anyone really does…) Riley’s all about having a good time and is a bit hard to keep up with at times.
Although her mood can be a bit sporadic, she tends to be nice to people. She’s probably the last person who would judge someone (assuming they haven’t done something absolutely vile) and just enjoys having a good time.
Friends are important to her, so she would abandoned her kind nature to defend someone she considered to be a true friend, but she generally doesn’t have to, as there are few people she knows who don’t know the others – the worst thing about small towns.
While she loves her home and family, Riley longs for something more – something different. Saving money (although she’s not very good at it) has become a priority now so that she may someday get out of Rye Hills and experience the real world on her own.
Parents: Carl Peters, 42, mechanic
Siblings: none
Other:
Pets: none
Best Memory: Riley's best memory is easily her trip to Florida with her father when she was younger. They couldn't really afford to do much, but it was still amazing. Of course, it's been Rye Hills ever since, but she hopes to someday make a life for herself in a bigger city.
Worst Memory: When Riley was ten, she watched from her bedroom window as her mother left the family forever. She used to get a letter every once in a while - random well-wishes and an occasional birthday card – but apparently the small-town life wasn’t really for Carla Peters either.
Detailed History: Riley had a really happy childhood in Rye Hills. Her parents, although they weren't wealthy, did well enough for them to have everything they needed, and her father had grown up there as well, so she was rather close to the majority of her neighbors at a very young age. She attended school with everyone else and life moved along as it should have.
The real story, however, starts sometime after Riley's mother left. Thirteen was a critical age for Riley. She 'fell in love' for the first time, and made the friendship that would inevitably lead to both her job and her love for dancing. She started taking classes at a nearby town and auditioning for minor roles in small productions and was just about as happy as she could be.
That relationship lasted a year and would prove to be her longest for some time. She attended fewer and fewer recitals as she grew older, but she still didn't stop dancing on her own time. Her best friend moved away when she turned sixteen after securing jobs at a local diner for the both of them. Of course, the idea of working there was less exciting when she knew she'd be going it alone, but it was much better than she expected.
What few visitors newcomers their town got normally went through the diner at one point or the next, and Riley enjoyed meeting every one of them. No matter how long of shifts she worked, she tried to remain high energy and always with a smile.
Riley stayed at home after graduating from high school, choosing not to head to college right away. She kept her job at the diner and doesn't really do much other than work, but someday she hopes to do so much more.
