Nellie

Sweet, beautiful girl, very intelligent and creative. Though very stubburn and often pessimistic. More of a leader then follower. Often not one of the most popular girls around, but does have a group of friends. You would be very lucky to have a Nellie in your life. Wether a friend or lover. Nellie's often switch back and forth from the dark and light side. They will get evil if pushed to it, but will be an angel if treated right. Love to pull pranks! And often act before thinking.
