Do you have any ongoing medical issues for which you require treatment or medication?:

No.

Are you aware of any allergies? If so, please list allergy, age of onset and any medications or treatments you require or recieve:

No.

Have you had any surgeries or invasive procedures in the past? If yes, please list reason and approximate age of procedure:

I have had a breast augmentation (twice), several liposuctions, three rhinoplasties, blepharoplasty, thighplasty, multiple chemical peels and botox and juvederm injections, as well as lip/cheek fillers. All of these have taken place in the past 10 years, except my first breast augmentation at the age of 17. Really none of it helped though, I still look like I’m 10 times my age and my skin is horrible.

Do you take any medications or supplements daily? Do you follow any treatment plans? Please list medications or treatments, and reasons below:

I take a daily multi-vitamin, 2 capsules of Vitamin E, a Vitamin C booster when I wake up in the morning with 2 glasses of purified water. I use several prescription moisturizers containing Vitamins A, B3, C, E, and K three times a day. Sometimes I add a fourth time if I choose to take a nap. I have a B12 injection weekly.

Do you use tobacco, consume alcohol, or use any other drugs including street drugs and/or prescription medications not prescribed to you? If yes, please list number of packs a day, number of drinks a day, and/or drugs consumed below:

I do drink champagne and wine frequently, normally a bottle a day.


Please describe, to the best of your ability, your emotional and mental state of wellbeing:

I’m sad. I’m never good enough for Christophe. I feel like he can’t see what I really look like, all the wrinkles and broken blood vessels, the spider veins and the jiggle when I walk. He’s so handsome and so beautiful and I’m just so hideous next to him. I hate it, I hate that no matter what I do I’m never going to be good enough looking for him. I love him so much but he lies to me and tells me I’m beautiful. I don’t understand why he doesn’t see what I see.
I’m not in the right place in my mind. I know that, but I can’t help it. It’s just hard to go out and do all the things his jobs required when I look like this. I just want to be beautiful, I want people to stop staring and pointing and laughing at me. I want to stop spending 6 hours a day in front of the mirror trying to fix things that are never going to be fixed.

Have you been diagnosed with any psychiatric or psychological ailments? Please list any diagnoses below, and the treatments or medications prescribed to you. Please include name of medications, dosage, and number of doses per day:

My current therapist says I suffer from Body Dismorphic Disorder and OCD. I’m not on any medication for them because they can affect your weight and I refuse to get fat over something that could be fixed other ways.

Have you ever been hospitalized or referred to regular outpatient care due to these ailments or associated incidents? If so, please note where, and at roughly what age:

Well I have had multiple surgeries and procedures done in relation to fixing my issues. None of them really helped but for a bit they made me feel better.

How have these ailments affected you and your life? Are there any major life instances you feel have been directly affected by these ailments, such as suicide attempts, criminal activities, etc?:

I spend roughly 6 hours a day in front of the mirror or doing beauty rituals. I can’t help it, if things are just right or perfect I have to do them over. Its horrible and stressful to think that I could go out without applying the right foundation crème or that there was a smudge on my make up. I have to be perfect, Christophe’s job requires us to be in the spot light and I don’t want to fail him. I can’t be in those magazines as a worst dressed. I’ve spent nights awake with anxiety over clothes and people and I can’t do anything with out worry about how I appear. I’m just so ugly that I can’t hide it anymore. I can’t have children because I’m already so fat, I’m scared I’ll blow up like a balloon.

There are some rituals that I can't even leave the house without doing multiple times. Making sure all my make up and cremes are organized and in their specific cubbies, the house has to be spotless. We've had 14 maids in the past 6 years because none of them keep it up to par. I'm not crazy for liking things perfect. Christophe paid a lot of money for all the wonderful things that we have and they need to stay that way. There are other little things too that get in the way of stuff. I can't park in a spot that doesn't give me a clear exit. Parallel parking is impossible. I feel trapped. I have to sit away from the windows if ever we eat out, but close enough to a door that I can leave if something happens. I always have to step out of the car with my left foot, doesn't matter if I am driving or not. These little things I focus on, and if they're not right I redo it or start over, sometimes I even refuse. I just want to be perfect and my rituals and ideas help me get that.

What is your social life like? Do you have many friends or relationships? How are your family relationships?:

I have a few close friends, they understand that our appearance is priority, they get that I have to be perfect, and they understand my flaws. My family doesn’t understand, they constantly tell me how beautiful I am, how I don’t need all the make up and surgery. Even Christophe says I’m perfect, but it’s a lie. I don’t trust them and they don’t get it. A lot of people can’t handle the time I invest in my appearance but I have to. I can’t go out or let people see me without it. Most of my day is spent in front of the mirror trying to get myself to look just right. I wake up at 5:30 am to make sure Christophe doesn't see me without my face on. I spend the next 2 hours exfoliating and moisturizing with a hot mud mask and prescription anti acne wash. Once that is complete the next 2 hours are spent applying my make up. Sometimes I have to redo it several times to get it to look at least half way decent. I spend at least 2 hours on my hair if I have to do it myself. Most the time I will have it styled for me and leave it that way for a few days. If we are going somewhere special I must have my hair professionally done and my make up as well.

Christophe thinks its strange but I have a strict list of products that are acceptable and what order they have to be used in. If I don't do it exactly the same way every time it doesn't look right. I don't look right. The same with clothes and the order they have to be on, everything has to be perfect or else there isn't a reason for me to do it. If I don't do my routine the exact way every day I don't see the point in dealing with the day. There have been times that I've just given up and gone back to bed and refused to get out. I know its not normal but...(unreadable scribbles) I just know I need to get help.

Do you believe your life circumstances have contributed to any ailments? If so, what circumstances, and why do you feel they have contributed?:
I think my mom was the root of my problems, she put a lot of focus on how I looked and how she looked and how we appeared the world. She was constantly pointing out flaws. My problems take up the majority of my day. I spend so much time trying to be presentable that I can't even enjoy the life I've been given. Its not like I deserve it...Christophe’s job has probably made my insecurities more apparent. He’s a big shot producer and we’re always invited to events where the press will be. We have to be this flawless and perfect couple, and he always looks the part, but not me. I’m too old, to wrinkled and fat. I love him dearly, but I just wish he’d see what is there instead of being blinded by his heart.

If you could change one past event that has happened to you, what would it be, and why?:

Can I stop time? I'd probably go back to my last freak out. Its what set everyone off on me "getting help." I had a breakdown and I smashed all the mirrors in the house. I just couldn't keep seeing the 2 lbs I had gained. I was constantly jiggling and moving in ways I shouldn't and got upset and told Christophe I was going to cut out all the fat. I don't know why I said it. I would never do it myself, I'd go to Dr. Sanchez to get it done. He can always figure a way to fit me in.

Do you wish to rehabilitate from your ailment(s)? If so, how do you feel this would best be accomplished?:

I do what I can to get by. I do want to get better. I want to be a good wife and person. I think getting away from Hollywood would help. That’s why I figure Christophe wants me to come here.


Where did you grow up? Please list the location(s) and describe what it was like growing up there:

I grew up in a small town near Austin, Texas. It wasn’t bad, I liked the diversity and everything, but I never seemed to have that wholesome all American teenage beauty queen quality.

What was your family life like? Did you spend much time with your parents? Do you have any siblings? If so, what are your relationships like?:

My mother wanted me to be perfect. She expected good grades, cheerleading captain, nice boyfriends, the whole nine yards. I was daddy’s little girl though. He always tried to comfort me if Mother said something about my looks or attitude, she’d often point out the few pounds I’d put on or if I had a blemish. She never wanted people to know that our family wasn’t 100% perfect. Too bad I was born with horrible dry skin and prone to wrinkles. I look like a Sharpei and now there’s nothing I can do to fix it.

What was school like? Did you have any problems? Did you enjoy school? What were your grades like?:

I didn’t mind school. I averaged B’s and tried to have friends. I was on cheer squad and volleyball, but it wasn’t enough to keep me thin.

Did you engage in any extracurricular activities, such as academic, artistic, or sporting clubs?:

I was on cheer squad and played volleyball. That was ages ago though.

What was work like? Did you have any problems? Did you enjoy your work? What were your coworker relationships like?:

I worked as a waitress for a few years and then started working as a public relations manager when I moved to California. I enjoyed both but liked the PR work because it took the focus off of me and I could put it on other people. Plus a lot of it was done over the phone.

Have you ever been convicted of a crime or misdemeanour? If yes, please explain, list conviction, and list any sentences associated with convictions:

No. Never.

Lastly, please tell us about yourself. How do you feel about yourself and what you have done with your life? If you have committed crimes, how do you feel about those now? What are your hopes for the future?:

I wish I was worth loving. Christophe is amazing and he tries to make me feel beautiful, but I know he’s lying. I’m wrinkled and old and falling apart and it doesn’t get any better no matter what I try. I spend too much time trying to hide and fix things that I am not a good wife. He deserves so much more than me but I really do love him. I just want to figure out how to be the woman he needs and how to see myself for what he says I am.


Attached behind the forms is a letter written by Christophe Lindquist.

To whom it may concern:
Please help my wife. I love her so dearly but something is wrong. She’s constantly saying how she is disfigured and wrinkled. That she isn’t worthy of my love and the life I’ve provided her. She is though. She’s the light of my life and I want nothing more than to have her healthy and back in my arms. The doctors here in California aren’t helping, if anything I think they’re making the problem worse. She needs to be monitored with her morning ritual or it will end up consuming her whole day. Please someone help her see that she is as perfect as she needs to be. Money is no matter, I will cover any cost of treatment needed.

-Christophe Linquist



What are they not telling us? What secrets do they have to hide? What back story are we not hearing? This is where you can tell us all the things your character wouldn't put on an application, or others don't know.:

((Remember, if you put all their back story as a secret, we won't be able to admit them to Hallowsgate! This section is for secrets only, not the entire character history. We need most of the info in the main app so we can process it!)) Suzette is head over heels in love with her husband, but she doesn’t understand why he loves her back. She has always felt that she was unattractive starting with her mother constantly critiquing her weight. Suzette was athletic and never over weight but fairly muscular. The fear of weight gain and harassment led her to venture into anorexia for spurts at a time but she would never admit to it. She is still very very cautious of how much she each and watches calories closely. After moving away from her mother she seemed to do better and her focus changed from weight to the fine lines and wrinkles most people would have. Her job helped her stay out of the spotlight but she was spending on average 3-4 hours a day getting ready and making sure she felt as close to presentable as she could. Never leaving the house without a full makeup job. She met her husband Christophe through her job and was instantly smitten. They dated for 6 months before getting married. He is a highly regarded movie director and has supported her ever since. She has racked up nearly 250,000$ worth of plastic surgery since she turned 30. Her husband finally pushed her to get intreatment help after she had a meltdown breaking all the mirrors in their home and threatening to “cut all her fat out”
