Anita Jane Dearly
* tell us a little about yourself."Oh, well hello, I suppose I should introduce myself. My name is Anita, but my full name is Anita Jane Dearly. It's a nice enough name I suppose, not the worst out there certainly. Now you do know you're not supposed to ask a lady her age right, haha, oh well I'll cave for you. Well, I was born in London, England on November sixth (I'm twenty-three now) and was raised there. The big city is lovely, and I do enjoy having the world at your fingertips, but when I was twenty-one and ready for America and I moved on down to Walten City. My mother's best friend was moving away from Walton at the time and offered to sell her house to me for quite a deal. She was practically family, and I couldn't possibly refuse such an offer. Since then it has been a very nice change of pace and everything has moved in a smooth, quiet way since then. I think it would make more sense for me to move back to London though, considering my line of work. I am a fashion designer. Isn't that just the most random thing, but it's quite true, and despite my job I can't seem to bring myself to leave Walton. Everything is just so nicely settled in this place. Perfect. Plus I don't quite know if I could deal with living in the big city again, people here already like to tell me I look allot like an actress, Rachel McAdams, I don't know how I'd deal with people in that city getting me confused with someone so famous! "
* what are some of your positive traits?"If I'm good at something, I know it would be that I am organized, not to toot my own horn of course. I can juggle a schedule for sure, and I know how to make thing work even in the worse circumstances. It's something that I do pride myself on. But don't tell anyone. They'll start to think I'm vain or something, and I do try not to upset anyone in that way. Another good thing about me? Well, I have been able to keep my calm whenever situations turn for the worse. It is almost as if I am not able to lose my composure at sometimes. It's a bit odd to tell you the truth. Other than remaining calm in tense situations I suppose I'm rather good at my job. At least I hope I am! Designing clothes would have to be one of the more creative professions, but I'm not sure if I'm more creative or more organized. I feel as though my designs seem to be a large amount of organization and then the touch of creativity. Makes me question the whole thing at times, but then again, I'm competent enough and I pull in my own paycheck so I suppose I do alright."
* what are some things that you can improve on?"Oh, I can already think of one thing that I could use some working on, and that would be a backbone. It's not that I cannot defend myself if something dangerous happens, but I do have a hard time standing up for myself. All of my life I've been a door mat for some people. Well, I could just put it as 'tiptoeing around their feelings' I do hate upsetting others. The fact that I am not the most outspoken person does not help too much with that situation either. So I am a bit easy to push around, and I don't talk all that much. Two things that I dearly need to work on. The third would be that I can be a bit, ehr, off-putting at times. Or thats what I think at least. I can be a bit easily ruffled by some things, and while I'm neither a very outspoken person or defiant I do have a problem with people messing with Perdita or my schedule. Oh right! Perdita's my dog, and probably my best friend. "
* what's your biggest secret? we won't tell."Alright. I'll tell you but you must swear to me that you will keep this a secret (although I suppose me telling you this make it... not a secret anymore, oh well.) I think one of my biggest secrets would be that even though I am a twenty three year old single woman who happens to try and put off an air of this professional woman, completely in control of everything around her... I was actually in a little mall photo shoot whenever I first came to Walten. It was not my favorite thing in the world, and I would much prefer if the mall would simply burn that catalog, but it's quite true. I wanted to try and get one of my designs out. But it was a contest and I had to model the out fit and... well! Long story short in one catalog for the Walten City Mall there is a picture of me posing with a fake Spring background in one of my older designs. Goodness, what was I thinking."
* what does your heart want?"My heart's desires, hmm? You do want to know quite allot don't you? But thats perfectly alright, no worries at all. I suppose I'm not quite looking for a guy at the moment so let me quickly think of some things. Well I would like them to... to have a job, yes that sounds like a good thing. Oh! And they must love animals, namely dogs. They just have to love dogs, because you see I adore my dog so much I'm not sure how I would go about having a relationship with someone who doesn't like dogs. You do understand what I am saying, right? Well some more things... I've never been all that picky in looks but I do enjoy health, so I would say someone healthy. Other than a healthy man who likes dogs and has a job I can't seem to think of anything else at the moment. Like I said, I'm not looking at the moment. My career is taking off and such... but if a man happens to find me... that would be quite lovely also."
* what do you do in your spare time?"Something that I quite enjoy would be my homely duties. I know every feminist out there would probably spit at that, but it is something I like. I enjoy puttering around the kitchen and decorating, adding little touches to my home and things of that sort. I have organized many of the items in my house a thousand times over. The problem is, although I love to fix up everything in my house it never gets cluttered enough to allow me to really tackle a mess. When I'm stressed it helps, you know? I do work (as mentioned before) of course, and that is another thing I would consider fun. But we are talking about spare time right now... I fancy having a good read with a nice cup of tea, no coffee for me. I am not really the biggest fan of poetry, but old novels always hold a certain charm when paired with a warm cup of tea, sitting outside in the sun with no shoes on and Perdy relaxing on the grass next to me. There isn't a more perfect time! That reminds me, taking Perdy for walks around the park, that is always a nice way to spend the time. I go on foot most of the time, though once in a blue moon I have been known to take a bike. But walking is just all the more calm and easy to handle. I'm afraid answering this I've discovered I don't get out very much... Suppose I should work on that also."
* so what does your family life look like?"If you are referring to my current family there really isn't one. I mean, nobody else lives in my house except for me and Perdy. Perdy in my most loved Dalmatian, and goodness that girl is sweet! She makes up my family for the moment and I don't see that changing anytime soon. But across the seas I do have a mother and father. No siblings, I've always been a loner since birth I suppose. No, loner isn't right, independent is the word I was searching for. My mom is a sweet lady, and my dad an old dependable man. They are both wonderful, good natured people, the kind of parents that you see in movies. I know I've been lucky enough to have them, and I miss them, but it is a bit difficult to see one another with an ocean between us. Still, I call when I can and do try to keep them updated on the more important things of my life."
* what are the memorable moments in your life?"The first memory that springs to mind would be the day I moved to Walten. Dear, now that was quite the adventure. I had been on a flight for god knows how long and had just gotten tot he airport. I sent my bags in before I got on the plane myself, so they should have arrived before I did. Perdita was riding across the seas herself in a kennel and I remember worrying my head off for that poor girl! She was alright though and I remember hopping off the plane, walking all around the American airport and finally meeting Cynthia (my mother's best friend) who drove Perdy and myself to her house. Although, it was soon to become mine. It was, and still is, a small little cottage type home in the city. It's tiny, but big enough for a ingle woman and her dog for sure. Everything rolled along quite smoothly for my first move, a move to a whole new country mind you. These things can end up pretty rough, you know. After a few months in Walten and my job transfer had all worked out, I began exploring the town. I just remember running into the most odd people. I didn't have any friends when I came so everything was this brand new thing that I have to adventure into on my own. Oh that first year here... Perdy and I remember perfectly!
"Speaking of Perdy, she is most surely a great memory for me. I got Perdita whenever she was just a puppy. Tiny little thing that I adopted in London, or bought rather. She is a purebred and was my birthday present. She has been with me ever since, and this girl has grown on me. I love her to pieces and would do anything for this family member of mine. What a real darling.
"Another memory? Oh, alright, let me see... my first design I sold! That's a good one. I had been doodling on a napkin one day when I had been to the cafe with Perdita. It came out rather nicely for once and I rather liked it. I don't mind my job you see, it's quite fun at times but it is work after all. So I finally turned in the design to a bigger company in New York whenever I was done moving it to a nicer display. The company loved it to death and sent me word that they'd buy it from me. Ever since then I've been sending designs to that one company. I've seen some versions of my work here and there, but being as it is all under that one big label no one could ever tell it was mine. I don't care really as long as I make enough money for myself it is alright."
* so we've heard that you're a lot like Anita Radcliffe
name: First name is the same, and I took the last name from the live-action movie.
play by: I believe that the two look allot alike. Rachel McAdams has the same slight build, and (in some pictures) the same reddish hair and light skin.
positive traits: In the movie Anita seemed to be a very 'on-top-of-her-game' kind of girl. Put together nicely and always polite as can be. I took some ideas from the live action movie as well (they are both Disney!) So her creativity in fashion came from her job in that movie.
negative traits: In the movie Anita let Cruella walk all over her, despite the fact that she was more than rude to her husband, home, dogs, and other things. So that would let others assume she is one to 'tiptoe around feelings' not wanting to upset anyone or thing. Also, she does not strike one as being a talker, not incapable of speech if spoken too, but probably not the conversation starter of the year. In the beginning of the movie Anita appeared a bit stuck-up, she was off-putting. She seemed kind of closed off in a way, she didn't want to sit and chat, she was just reading her book and minding her own business.
orientation:Well, she did marry a man.
turn ons: Since we don't see allot on the people in this movie, but one can assume that it would be someone who adored dogs. There wasn't much to go on in the movie besides that, and since she didn't want to sit and talk with Roger the first moment they met (on the bench not the lake) one can believe that she wasn't looking for romance, just her own solitude.
turn offs: I believe Cruella, and all she embodies would be a good example of a turn off. Now, Anita did not outwardly express dislike for Cruella but I do not think that a loud, bitter, old animal killer is someone Anita would have the hots for.
spare time: In the movie Anita seems to be the little housewife to a T. She tidies, and presumably takes care of the decorating and such in the house. She also is seen, quite often, with a book in her hand. So, reading is a check mark on that list. Lastly would be Perdita. The whole movie was about the dogs, surely thats on the spare time list! Walking her dog, caring for her dog, and just loving her dog.
family life: Anita strikes me as a character with no childhood scars or problems in that area, she seems to hold her family close in the move, no matter how small it starts off. I don't picture Anita with a bunch of brothers and sisters, just herself al loving father and sweet mother.
memorable moments: Well the first because it was the start of Anita's life on her own in America. She seems like a rather independent person, this could have helped develop that. Second would be Perdita, I believe Anita loves her dog like a part of her own family and that would be an important part of her life. Lastly, her first design it is her first big move in her career. I don't think that Anita loves to work all that much considering that in the cartoon she didn't have a job and in the live-action movie she quits her job. I think this shows how Anita does not care all that much about her job. She would prefer to be a nice, quiet little housewife.this application was written by lani, who also plays nobody else yet.
