Information:
Personality: Sidney has two speeds, driven and downtime, with the latter being allowed the bare minimum time slotted in her busy schedule. Her life is structured, with each moment being accounted for and carefully scheduled in her pocket diary, a book roughly the size of a small telephone book. Although she is well schooled in todays technology, Sidney prefers the more personal touch of a hand written note rather than the impersonal electronic calendar. It was that love of the written word that had her turning towards newspapers rather than the more glamorous television broadcasting when picking her career path.
Driven: Sidney is dedicated to reaching and holding onto perfection. Her hard work at school paid off with awarding Sidney with the honor roll each and every year starting from elementary school and ending with highest honors awarded as well as being named as the valedictorian for her graduation year from McGill University. Sidney firmly believes that there is nothing that she cannot achieve if she is willing to work hard enough for it.
The softer side: When she allows time for herself, Sidney has a romantic side that she hides well, not to mention an obsession with long, hot, bubble baths, soft music and a glass or two of champagne. Unable to allow herself the luxury of a relationship (at the moment) she turns to the written word, indulging herself in romantic novels to fill the small part of her soul that stubbornly clings to the idea of a true love, even though her more cynical side mocks the very idea.
Socially, Sidney has absolutely no issues with “networking” with colleagues and potential connections that may help her climb higher on the ladder towards success. She tried dating while in university, however her dedication to her school work left her little time to offer him and so the relationship suffered and died before it really had time to blossom. She has since convinced herself that she just wasn’t made for that kind of connection and has chosen to push the disappointment of her one and only failure to the side and focus on what she feels is more important.
Background: Growing up in Montreal (Quebec) Sidney was born into a family of overachievers. Her Great Grandfather was one of the first fur traders in the province of Quebec, making millions throughout his life time. Her Grandmother as well as her mother was both crowned Beauty Queens, each one heading up successful charity foundations that gave back to their community. Her father matched the other members of the family, and in many ways superseded them with a successful career as an anchor for the CBC News.
An only child, Sidney was doted on by a nanny who had a penchant for romantic black and white movies, and often spent her only day off (Sunday) cuddling Sidney as the two of them watched the charming movies, hence planting the seed of romance in the impressionable girls mind. With parents that were as busy on the social scene as they were in their careers, Sidney had very little friends and so Nanny Jolie quickly became her world. Though the need to impress and please her parents drove her competitive side to push down the flighty romantic dreams, she never completely let go of the idea of love.
It was hard for her to make friends growing up, and even in her early years at university. Her focus on school and the need to meet her family’s lofty expectations allowed Sidney to push down the loneliness that surrounded her growing up. She learned to prioritize what was important, believing that education came first, then establishing her career and then…if there was time, a personal life. She refused to believe that fear of rejection had anything to do with it! She was simply being logical in plotting out her life! After all…with a plan in place life would run smoothly…or so she thought.

OOC Ons and Offs:The only sexual experiences she has had were less than satisfactory, leaving Sidney to wonder exactly what all the fuss is about! That was until one brave young man took the control from her and gave her an experience that both scared her and turned her on greatly! Being a controlling person in her career, she can come off as a bit of a ball-breaker leaving some men to wonder if she might not just need a good fuck. The one time she gave up control scared her enough that she gasped the reins of her life that much harder.
In short, a strong man would turn her on, where a man that cowed to her would not.
