Gender: Female

Birthday: March 29, 1998

Face claim: Maia Mitchell

Family/Housemates: Blackwood Home for Teens

Address: 73 Patterson Street, Blackwood Mountain

Personality: To people that don't know her, Courtney is impassive and secretive. Courtney doesn't care about what goes on with strangers and she doesn't want them to care about what goes on with her. If she is in a good mood, she might help a stranger out but any other day she will either watch or leave them be. Sometimes she can come off as rude when they try to be friendly but she doesn't want to be a part of it. If Courtney is feeling playful, she might engage in some banter or be friendlier. It depends on what kind of day a person catches her on. It takes Courtney a while to trust people and to start being nice to a person all the time.

In reality, Courtney is a kind person but she doesn't like to waste her kindness on people she doesn't know, not knowing if they are worth it or not. Courtney is also very silly and she likes to make jokes, often using sarcasm or jokes to veer away from a topic or conversation that she does not want to be a part of. Courtney is not naturally rebellious, but she dislikes feeling like she is being forced to do something. She can get very passionate about being her own person and how she shouldn't be forced by anyone to do anything. Some things she knows she can't control, and that's just life. If she can do something about a problem, she usually will, but sometimes she's just tired and doesn't have the energy to do anything.

Courtney is private and doesn't share too much valuable information about herself with too many people, but she is okay with springing up useless trivia. Courtney doesn't know why she is so untrusting of people, but she has an idea that it might be because some people are scumbags.

History: Demetria Benson was a secretary for Risegates Corporations, and Benjamin Watson was an intern at Firewood Inc. These two had met while scheduling a meeting for the CEOs of their separate companies and it seemed to be love at first sight. After many dates, the two married and were blessed with a daughter, who they named Courtney.

Courtney was an obedient and quiet child who was very observant for her age. While most kids would take forever to settle down and listen to instructions, it seemed that Courtney was content to do so. She still had fun and played, but she was much more relaxed than the other kids.

Courtney went to a normal public school, where she learned to be more secretive and to be able to keep things to herself. After a lot of fights started raising up at her school and Courtney found herself being blamed of being associated with one of them, her parents pulled her out of public school and sent her to a private school in eighth grade, called Lebeaux Preparatory School.

Courtney did not care about the school change since she had no emotional connection to her old school. She was looking forward to having a change of environment and new people. There, she met Carmen Arroyo, one of the first people to be nice to her without being annoying. Courtney started hanging out with Carmen more, but not really with Carmen's friend, Luna, because it seemed that Luna was always unavailable whenever Courtney was around.

Finally, they got to hanging out, too, with and without Carmen. All three of them started doing everything together, and they eventually started calling each other best friends. Hanging around them made Courtney start being sweeter than she was back in public school.

Recently, Courtney's parents got into some legal trouble that caused them to have to send Courtney away while they were under investigation to prevent Courtney to have to deal with all of it. They wanted to send Courtney to Paris with her Aunt Francis, but Courtney did not want to go and leave her friends. The only other option was Blackwood's Home for Teens. After a lot of thinking, Courtney decided to go to Blackwood. Now, she stays there with her parents still paying for the school, but she doesn't want any of her friends or schoolmates to know that she lives at a place for troubled teens.
