Name: Joel Galloway
Age: 24
Height: 5'7"
Occupation: Writer

Appearance: Brown, medium length hair, shaved on one side. His eyes match the color of his hair almost exactly, they're just a touch darker, complimented by the dark rings underneath them, always giving him a tired or disinterested look. His face is dotted with light freckles. He's a pretty thin person, his hips jagged, his elbows sharp. He wears lots of plaid and neutral colors. Wears a baseball hat often.

Background: Joel grew up in Portland, Oregon with his mothers sister, his Aunt Isabelle. His parents died before he was able to know either of them, his mother being taken in labor, and his father taking his own life months later. Isabelle took custody of him, and he grew up happily, if not quietly alongside her. He internalizes a lot of his feelings, a trait that he is acutely aware of. After graduating, he got hired as a head writer for the newspaper in the city next to Rosswood.

He moved to Rosswood soon after graduating from college, telling Isabelle that he simply needed a change, and a place of his own. He had saved money since he was young for something like this, so he was able to get a relatively nice house in the sleepy town, turning in his articles through email, and taking lots of nature walks through town and the surrounding woods in his spare time. As he did when he was young, he keeps to himself.

Name: Lee Ye-Jin
Age: 34
Occupation: Sales Executive
Appearance: Lee can be described in two words: professional and prepared. She wears business suits--custom tailored-- not with skirts, because she works in an environment where men have an unreasonable amount of power, and she doesnt have the time to be objectified by the other men in her field. She wears her long, straight black hair back in a ponytail while working, and in a messy bun when she isnt. Her eyes are brown. She stands at 5'5", and she is a petite woman. She has a cold demeanor about her, but she is relatively friendly.

Name: Vincent Graves
Age: 19
Occupation: Student, works part time at Coffee and Pie, Oh My!
Appearance: Vincent has his hair dyed a deep, emerald green color, which he keeps pushed back and out of his face. His eyes are the same color as his hair. Theres a tattoo of a song quote on his upper arm, which he usually keeps covered with long, striped shirts. He has an average build, his body is marked in scars and bruises from fights he tends to get into with other students on a daily basis. Despite what one would think upon initially meeting him, he is very sweet and incredibly friendly. Works at the local diner.

Name: Valencia McNeil
Age: 26
Occupation: Museum Curator
Appearance: Valencia (or Val, if you'd like) has thick, curly hair, brown, with traces of blonde. Her eyes are bright blue. She dresses in sweater dresses 98% of the time, the other two percent in sundresses. She's a bit heavyset. She loves her job, because she loves history. She spends a lot of her time studying them, weather its in person at the museum in the city, or on the internet. She clocks in at about 5'4", but be careful, for she may be small, but she is fierce.

Name: Rowena Teal
Age: 24
Height: 5'1"
Occupation: Daycare provider

Appearance: On the petite side, Rowena often has difficulty in finding clothes that properly fit her frame. She always gravitates towards looser clothing like tunics and skirts, she hates jeans so when she isn't in a skirt she's in pajama pants. Her natural hair color is blonde but she dyes it burgundy every chance she gets. Her eyes are dark brown and she has a mole on her right cheek.

Background: Rowena grew up in a very different household than most. Her mother is technically her cousin. It wasn't a case of incest but rather her birth mother had gotten pregnant at a very young age and the baby given up for adoption. Her birth mother's cousin had adopted Rowena and raised her as his own. When she was seven Rowena was introduced to her father's boyfriend and son. They moved in with them shortly after. Rowena's surname was unofficially officially changed to Teal (to the state she is still Rowena Stone.)

Name:Samuel "Sam" Teal
Age: 25
Height: 5'11"
Occupation: 5th grade teacher

Appearance: Sam is quite handsome to some with a strong jaw, sharp features and dark, deep set eyes. His black hair is kept in a short style and he's already begun to gray prematurely. Sam is fond of button up shirts and vests and other formal clothes. He isn't very muscular despite having a large frame, much to the dismay of many women.

Background: Sam's mother and father split when he was young so he doesn't remember much about their marriage. His father was given full custody of Sam after a short custody battle. His mother was given supervised visitations but rarely showed up to them, or she'd come with an excuse for being late. Sam remembers that his mother always smelled funny and in his later years linked that stench to alcohol. His father decided to move to Rosswood a few years later in order for his son to be brought up in a better environment. When Sam was eight his father introduced him to his boyfriend (as Sam's father came out two years prior) and soon after that Rowena and her dad moved in. He's always had a harder time fitting in with most due to being half African-American.
