Temari 2
She had no trouble getting into the college of her choice, and it was in college where she would really learn to focus her energy into something more productive. It was there that she learned the wonderful world of activism. Political, social, you name it, she was there. It not only helped her focus her aggression, but she took a lot out of it-- knowledge, people skills, the whole nine yards. Her good grades persisted, and she managed to win several scholarships, enough to sail her through school with no financial assistance from her father, and what little she didn't receive in scholarships and financial aid, she made up for with a part time job at an adult movie store.
The adult movie store was quite the experience for her. She wasn't exactly a virgin when she started working there, but talking with her coworkers revealed that, for all her rebelling and wild actions, she was rather vanilla in the sexuality department. She was thusly properly educated on such things. Even that sort of information she absorbed, like a sponge, never hesitant to learn something new. You never knew what information might come in handy. Come in handy someday it would.
Despite her interest in campus politics, though, Temari knew that it wasn't the sort of thing she wanted to do for a career. She had higher aims. She was smart, and she knew it. She could get any job she wanted, and she knew she could be successful at it. She was confident in her charisma and the people skills she had developed and honed through her activism. She wanted to be big, she wanted to be famous. She had tried theatre in high school, so it only made sense to her to aim for the stars now.
Her father passed away during her senior year of college. Temari didn't cry, she was too much of a big girl for that and had never been close enough to her father to care. She didn't hate him, though, and she knew she'd miss him, at least in the back of her mind. It was tragic, but in a way, it made her feel a little more free, like she didn't have any more outrageously high expectations to live up to. She'd always done well for her own sake, but it had always bothered her that he might derive some sort of pride out of her achievements. That would no longer be so. She moved on quickly.
There was one little problem. Right out of college, there was really very little available to her. It wasn't that she didn't manage to drum up interest, but she never had quite what it took. Her inexperience shone through, and it frustrated her to no end. There was no way that she was going to spend the rest of her life working at the porn store-- however, it did provide an opportunity. It was only at the store that she noticed the advertisement for Feel Good Inc., a local place or something that was hiring. She was sure she'd seen some of their fine "movies", and it wasn't like she hadn't filmed a thing or two with the boyfriends she'd had later on in college. It was really on a whim that she thought she might try it out.
She didn't think she'd actually get the job, and actually end up working at Feel Good Inc., but with what she's getting paid, she'll take it until something better comes along.
Personality, Likes & Dislikes: With a no-nonsense attitude, Temari’s not the kind of girl you get along with easily, but once you manage to win her over, she is an invaluable asset and a wonderful friend. She is feisty, bossy, a bit coarse and unrefined at times, and shows no mercy. She speaks her mind and isn't afraid to deliver what can sometimes be a startlingly accurate observation on the truth of the matter. Demanding as she is brutal, she does not accept weakness, and she can also be highly insulting; she's no stranger to wantonly throwing out taunts and teases, and even her brothers and friends are subjected to it.
