Appearance
The first thing people notice about Laney is that bright smile that always seems to decorate her face, her dark blue eyes a subtle contrast to the healthy glow of her skin; blonde hair falls in waves to outline her face, often taking the form of unkempt curls extending long past her shoulders towards the middle of her back. Soft palette make-up generally finds its way on to her face, often a soft pink lipstick and mascara if she’s too rushed to sit there and do it properly. Laney stands around 178cm and weighs close to 140lb last time she checked, but she has slacked slightly on her exercise routine, just don’t tell her mother, so that might have changed.
If asked she would say she was average build, nothing too outstanding about her, as much as her mother had tried to prod and pull her into a certain body shape.
The one think her mother did manage to instill in her was a love of high fashion; she’s often seen wearing a dress or a blouse with dress pants and heels. She very much exudes and has the looks of a well put together young lady, but then years of debutante balls and classes will do that to a girl. She often wears either something with long sleeves or a light jacket making a conscious effort to cover the old worn track marks running up the inside of her arms, that and lots of concealer.
She secretly loves to lounge around in sweatpants and oversized pajamas if she can get away with it.

Personality
If someone had to describe Laney it would probably be a happy and bubbly. That she’s someone easy to approach and even easier to befriend, one of the most honest and open people they’ve meet.
They wouldn’t be wrong, after all Laney had spent years perfecting her persona, and in a sense it was a part of who she is but that’s not all there is to her. That version of Laney is what her mother had groomed her into, someone who could take an insult with a smile and deliver the cruelest words with the sweetest smile. Someone who could walk the high life of society and not miss a beat, a timeless young lady with all the class and elegance befitting her status, and while she enjoyed how flawless she was as that person it leaves little room for her to figure out who she really is.
Underneath all the masks and fluff Laney has a free spirit who loves finding about new things, being coped up in a gilded tower for the majority of her life she knows little about the lower class end of living, even with her previous relationship showing her part of it she’s not sure how to handle it on her own and often reacts to new things with a childish demeanor. Used to the back stabbing and petty ways of the girls she grew up with when she finds someone that seems genuinely nice and interesting she’s take a genuine interest in them and often become a little too attached and think too highly of them.
It’s hard to see past her debutante persona, but it almost seems to perfect, too forced, as if it was a routine she was going through no emotion or spark rested behind it. If you catch her alone you can find her cling to herself as if she was freezing, a look of a self-depreciation and loathing plastered across her face for a bleak second. She’s slowly regaining her naturally happy disposition but she still waivers away from legitimate relations and attachments.

History
The daughter of two of the most prominent noblesse of New York, Laney has had all the training and more one would expect starting since she was 4. Beauty pageants, revealing, debutante balls, galas, all her life Laney was forced from one dress to another. By the time she was thirteen she was suffocating under all the lace and bustle, the lessons and lectures had become too much for the young girl.
Meeting Alice changed almost everything and nearly ruined the rest; against her mother’s better wishes they admitted Laney into a private school of lesser regard. A leniency to the young girl’s constant begging for a chance to see what a normal life was like.
- Madame Prions’ School for the Elite-
Laney was so excited to be going to a school away from the same group of petty girls she had grown up taking lessons with, though to her mother they were her friends and they all went to each other’s houses for make overs and sleep overs. The first few weeks were tough as no one wanted to talk to the new girl, most of the students had come from the same feeder schools and they knew each other, but that was middle school for you.
It wasn’t until Alice boldly walked over and introduced herself to Laney that she felt like she could maybe make a real friend. Alice was everything Laney wanted to be, she was carefree, open, did what she wanted, and often got away with doing it as well. To that small fourteen year old girl someone not bound by the same rules was so surreal it was like glimpsing at another life. They soon became fast friends spending almost all their free and studying time together. Alice taught her how to cheat and sweet talk her way out of trouble, Laney showed her how to throw shade and act like a damsel in distress. It was in good fun, they would often get busted for being up past lights out sitting around giggling and talking.
The first year was probably the best year of her life.
All she could talk about over summer break was Alice and how she couldn’t wait to go back to school and see her again. Much to her mother happiness Laney easily breezed through her summer lessons, skimping through some of the assignments and talking her way out of the rest. It was also the summer Jeremey moved in next door, but he was just the boy next door and Laney just saw him as friend she wasn’t allowed to see without a chaperone but they could sit there for hours talking and laughing. Both he and Alice gave her birthday cards; Alice wrote about how boring her summer at home was but she had made a new friend this new guy that was coming to school with them next year and she couldn’t wait for Laney to meet him. He was a really cool guy who knew all about the grimy side to living. Laney wasn’t sure about this new guy, but she was willing to give anyone Alice liked a chance, after all she wasn’t one to say no to her best friend.
It turned out that the guy had turned Alice on to smack, but Laney didn’t learn that till later. She only knew him as Eric but Alice seemed to adore him and spent most of her time with him. Laney chalked it up a little girl crush and that she would get it over it soon enough, so she turned her attention back to her studies, writing to Jeremy every so often about how school was doing, not realizing she was slowly starting to crush on him.
It was the end of the semester when Alice told Laney she wasn’t coming back next year, that she had no intention of going to high school. Her and Eric we’re going to head out for California and get jobs as models and live the rich famous life without having to work for it. Nothing Laney said could change their minds; they just kept saying if she could see the world like they did that she would understand eventually cruelly teasing that she was a square.
It kept going until Laney was afraid she was going to lose her best friend allowing herself to be talked into trying heroin for the first time.
Her summer passed in a blur of the three of them hopping trains and spending their parents’ money to get their hands on more, her lessons slipped and her mother was infuriated. Alice always said it was because her mother was jealous about her freedom and it was nothing to worry about. There we’re a few days when Jeremy would come over and try to talk to her, but she would just ignore him part of her ashamed to let him see her like this. By the beginning of fall her parents shipped her off to the best boarding school they could find, trying to separate her from Alice. For a while it didn’t work, the girls would write each other constantly but eventually the letters stopped coming and Laney lost her connection, her only saving grace was the letters from a certain boy next store.
For the next two years she desperately clung to that boy, they eventually started dating and she slowly rebuilt her life listening to whatever her mother told her. Her grades returned where they needed to be, and she even learned to plaster on a fake smile again and pretend the world was nothing but sunshine and rainbows. Eventually everyone thought that she had but that random streak of rebellion behind her, that it was just a mistake and all should be forgotten, and though she kept some of the skills she picked up that summer Laney focused more on her relationship with Jeremey taking him with her to her coming of age ball, she went with him to his senior prom as his date. She thought they were the couple to be, but a few weeks before she left for Ashbury he stopped talking to her, dropping her like a dirty pair of shoes.
She's spent the past few weeks refocusing on herself and picking up the pieces wondering what she did wrong this time to loose someone else close to her.

Favorite Memory
The first time she got to experience the high life of the city, she was a four year old girl all dolled up and in a gorgeous gold dress, it was a gala for the ages, glittering lights and masks everywhere as everyone was caught up in a sweeping whirlwind of dancing and laughter. She honestly thought that must be what heaven truly looks like, a never ending party and array of elegance.
Least Favorite Memory
Her first and last heartbreak; it was their anniversary and she was waiting there all dressed up at the restaurant for hours hopefully watching the door. She sat there till closing when the manager called her a cab and kindly broke the news that it didn’t seem like he was coming.
What corporation sent you to Ashbury?
Phantom Security
Small but fast growing high end security company out of New York, under the current leadership of Ryan Kellard, a young prominent man in his prime, it celebrated its 5th birthday last month and its largest year of new contracts. While the number of clients have started to skyrocket and Ryan has seen a lot more influx in need for security he hasn't been able to land any major clients that would give his company the recognition and publicity it needs for him to launch the opening of a new branch in Europe or possibly Asia that would allow him to do security for politicians and performers as the traveled outside of the states.
Laney's family had little ties to the CEO, having only meet him a few times at her mothers debutante balls and galas arranged for the elite of society to indulge and engage in idle gossip. Having grown up on listening to the elegant way those old harpies went at it, she picked up a few mannerisms and habits. It wasn't until one night that Ryan observed the young girl talk her way out a speeding citation, she had been doing 90 in a 55, without bringing up either of her parents names, just using her wits and smile to convince the officer that she had a valid reason in speeding, that the car would cut off if it went under 70 so she didn't want to chance it.
A blatant lie even Ryan could tell that but he was shocked to see the officer drink it down like it was water.
It was few days after that the young CEO made contact with her family offering them a chance to send their daughter to the most prestigious school in the country for a chance to be groomed and formed into his successor so that he might step down and focus more on the expansion then dealing with the politics and negotiating with dignitaries and other irate costumers having no skill for it himself.
It was an odd request to be sure, a young male wanting a strangers daughter to take over his company, but her parents jumped at the idea of spreading the family legacy farther, letting it touch and soak into that schools soil.
Oh how they would be the talk of the town for years to come.
So off she went without a word for debate or her own opinion.

"I don’t wait around to be disappointed again. So excuse me if I don’t fall for that or you ever again.”
Laney Karie Chandler
"People don’t tell you who you are. You tell them."
Fellow Students:
Laney doesn’t really talk to Hal; he’s just someone she’s talks to in passing, nothing past the superficial stage of friendship. She finds him to be annoying at sometimes with how he’s always trying to make people happy like they don’t have an option to feel something else. She wouldn’t mind actually getting to know him but isn’t going out of her way to initiate anything either.
”She’s interesting…I like her, just don’t tell her that…She reminds me of me but opposite. I’m happy she’s dark but that’s not who we really are, not completely.”
Laney and Brooke have a weird friendship, mostly because Brooke is constantly telling her to shut up every time Laney gets excited and wants to gush and show her a really cute piece of clothing or a puppy or something equally obnoxious. But they have their good moments, when they can just sit in silence and enjoy each other’s company.
"Oh, you mean the strange one with the contacts? I haven’t really talked to him. He seems interesting though, besides I’ve never tired playing any of the games he’s always going on about."
Laney doesn’t know much about Korrie, he seems to shy away from her and she doesn’t want to make him anxious or stressed out but would like to be friends with him and see what kind of games he likes, or just talk to him. She likes to be everyone’s friends and he’s one of her main focuses but she wouldn’t want it to be superficial.
"She’s so cute! I wish I could pull of some of the clothes she wears. Though she does seem a little too harsh on her…I’d like to be her friend though."
Laney loves her fashion chooses but when she asks the girl its seems she shy’s away, she doesn’t realize how strong her persona can come across so she’s often afraid to approach Amanda so she admires her from afar but is quick to wave and smile at her, maybe she can slowly work her way up to where she isn’t scaring the girl.
"Spencer, hmmm? He’s rather snarky isn’t he? He’s not so bad though, he sees life differently than everyone else and isn’t blinded by the brighter side so he can’t see the bad as well."
Laney secretly finds Spencer amusing, his snarky attitude often portrays her thoughts better than her eloquently worded insults and demeaning glances when she feels the need to be catty, he also makes a good partner to debate with giving more than the superficial answers she had long crafted for her pageants and the parents that run them. She would consider them friends but isn’t sure if he does or not.
"She’s always bouncing around isn’t she? Her energy is rather infectious. I wonder if she’d let me go running with her sometime. I really need to get back into it."
At times Laney is jealous by the confidence Maie has wearing simple clothing and wonders if she can pull it off but is so stuck in her high end fashion world that she’s not sure she can step out of her comfort zone. She also likes talking with her when she does join the smaller girl on her daily runs, though she isn’t sure if they are actual friends or not.
Riley Emerson
”She’s cute…I wonder how she would look in a dress. Ah, umm, just from a curiosity stand point of course. Her personality is a lot different than mine, but maybe I can learn a lot from her.”
Laney might have a little bit of a crush on the other girl but hides it well often trying to coax the other girl into trying small amounts of make up or maybe going out for coffee, her odd way of trying to bond with people. Laney would probably annoy Riley a little but she’s okay with that as long as she doesn’t blatantly tell her to go away. Besides that Laney also likes to sit around and read books while Riley does what she wants.
Nathan Duncan Matthews
”Nathan’s a sweetheart, really, that’s the only word that’s coming to mind. He’s mister Prince Charming incarnated, but I wonder if that’s all there is too him?”
Laney likes Nate well enough but hasn’t gotten the chance to really talk with him, though she would like to change that, she finds him charming but wonders if that’s just natural charisma or a forced trait. Part of her likes him the other part is curious about how he manages to stay so genuinely happy and carefree all the time. Curiosity is a big part in her attraction towards him, but she thinks they would at least make great friends.
Connor Molson McQuarrie
”Hmm, that’s a hard one. At time’s he seems a little too far out there and doesn’t know when to reign it back in but I don’t think he means harm. He reminds me of what an older brother might be like, well before my mother got a hold of him.”
Connor is probably Laney’s favorite person at the school, his exuberant personality is so different then what she grew up with. She likes hanging around him though his slang sometime goes right over her head and she feels naive every time she asks him to explain what he just said in normal human terms. She often finds herself genuinely smiling around him.
Brenden Micah Rivers
”Now he’s someone my mother would produce, well-mannered and well groomed. I think we get along great but he might really just be a superficial jerk, it’s hard to read people like him, I would know. I’m not sure how I stand with him. ”
Laney has mixed feelings about Brenden, she knows how to handle him and how to easily get along with him at least on the service but his negative persona gives her a bad taste in her mouth so she doesn’t try to bother acting anything other than her mother’s daughter around him, playing the game she was taught to play. Though he was a little better at maintaining it she liked to think she was a few steps ahead of him at the pass.
Emilie Rose Delacour
”She’s great! We get along well, and she’s always smiling and having fun, it’s nice to see another girl like that around here. Not that I don’t like the others, it’s just nice that someone gets me, ya know?”
Laney genuinely likes Emilie finding her accent pleasant to listen too, glad that someone else fashion taste border on hers so she had someone to talk to about new designs and new trends. Being around her generally lets Laney be her happy bubbly self without getting a look of annoyance. Her pranks also amuse her though she’s way too restrained to actually help with them.
Aspen Cael Hancock
“Aspen, definitely intense, he doesn’t come across as ambitious as he really is, but he’s a great guy and a great friend if you ever need anything.”
Acacia Celeste Hancock
“I swear this girl is crazy, but the good kind, you can’t help but be caught up into her whirlwind of energy and you’ll find yourself in the most interesting situations with her. It’s fun.”
Laney loves the twins; they’re always doing something for campus or plotting their next big thing. She likes to watch them interact, they’re opposite of each other, Aspen much calmer and laid back, traits Laney wished she could mimic while Acacia is always doing something. She’s so vibrant and full of life that sometimes Laney feels twinges of jealously towards her. She very much likes helping the twins with their preparations and executing if she can.
Hal Polwith
"He seems…sweet? He reminds me of a puppy, or a little brother…Honestly though, he’s a nice guy. He’s always around when you need a good laugh."
"He seems…sweet? He reminds me of a puppy, or a little brother…Honestly though, he’s a nice guy. He’s always around when you need a good laugh."

Korrigan Alexander Jackson
"Oh, you mean the strange one with the contacts? I haven’t really talked to him. He seems interesting though, besides I’ve never tired playing any of the games he’s always going on about."
Laney doesn’t know much about Korrie, he seems to shy away from her and she doesn’t want to make him anxious or stressed out but would like to be friends with him and see what kind of games he likes, or just talk to him. She likes to be everyone’s friends and he’s one of her main focuses but she wouldn’t want it to be superficial.
Amanda Hirano

Laney loves her fashion chooses but when she asks the girl its seems she shy’s away, she doesn’t realize how strong her persona can come across so she’s often afraid to approach Amanda so she admires her from afar but is quick to wave and smile at her, maybe she can slowly work her way up to where she isn’t scaring the girl.

Laney secretly finds Spencer amusing, his snarky attitude often portrays her thoughts better than her eloquently worded insults and demeaning glances when she feels the need to be catty, he also makes a good partner to debate with giving more than the superficial answers she had long crafted for her pageants and the parents that run them.

”Hmm, that’s a hard one. At time’s he seems a little too far out there and doesn’t know when to reign it back in but I don’t think he means harm. He reminds me of what an older brother might be like, well before my mother got a hold of him.”
Connor is probably Laney’s favorite person at the school, his exuberant personality is so different then what she grew up with. She likes hanging around him though his slang sometime goes right over her head and she feels naive every time she asks him to explain what he just said in normal human terms. She often finds herself genuinely smiling around him.
Brenden Micah Rivers
”Now he’s someone my mother would produce, well-mannered and well groomed. I think we get along great but he might really just be a superficial jerk, it’s hard to read people like him, I would know. I’m not sure how I stand with him. ”
Laney has mixed feelings about Brenden, she knows how to handle him and how to easily get along with him at least on the service but his negative persona gives her a bad taste in her mouth so she doesn’t try to bother acting anything other than her mother’s daughter around him, playing the game she was taught to play. Though he was a little better at maintaining it she liked to think she was a few steps ahead of him at the pass.
Emilie Rose Delacour
”She’s great! We get along well, and she’s always smiling and having fun, it’s nice to see another girl like that around here. Not that I don’t like the others, it’s just nice that someone gets me, ya know?”
Laney genuinely likes Emilie finding her accent pleasant to listen too, glad that someone else fashion taste border on hers so she had someone to talk to about new designs and new trends. Being around her generally lets Laney be her happy bubbly self without getting a look of annoyance. Her pranks also amuse her though she’s way too restrained to actually help with them.
Aspen Cael Hancock
“Aspen, definitely intense, he doesn’t come across as ambitious as he really is, but he’s a great guy and a great friend if you ever need anything.”
Acacia Celeste Hancock
“I swear this girl is crazy, but the good kind, you can’t help but be caught up into her whirlwind of energy and you’ll find yourself in the most interesting situations with her. It’s fun.”
Laney loves the twins; they’re always doing something for campus or plotting their next big thing. She likes to watch them interact, they’re opposite of each other, Aspen much calmer and laid back, traits Laney wished she could mimic while Acacia is always doing something. She’s so vibrant and full of life that sometimes Laney feels twinges of jealously towards her. She very much likes helping the twins with their preparations and executing if she can.

Hal Polwith
Henry Trent Polwith
Nicknames
Henry goes by Hal. It's just a common nickname for Henry, and his parents have called him that since he was young. He wonders why they didn't just name him Hal.
Age
17
Gender
Male
Sexual Orientation
Heterosexual
Grade Level
Junior
Appearance
Hal is a relatively average looking boy at first glance. 5'10", straight, brown, shortish hair, green eyes. But a more detailed inspection reveals a lot about him. While not a hulking beast of muscle, Hal is well toned, and by no means weak. His upper body and upper arms in particular are well toned. His long legs lend him most of his height. Hal is generally found wearing jeans or khaki pants/shorts, a t-shirt, and a jacket or sweatshirt. He's anti-hat, unless it's his New York Giants baseball cap. He has a medium length scar just above his right pectoral.
"Let's go hiking...or kayaking...or for a run!"
Personality
Hal is a bright and happy guy. He's upbeat, positive, and hard to get down. He's a big fan of making jokes, though he's often told they aren't as funny as he thinks. Despite this he still laughs, and makes a point of laughing at everyone else's jokes, regardless of whether anyone else thinks they're funny. Hal's smart as a whip, though he doesn't like to show it. Unless the person he's interacting with is excessively rude, obnoxious, or dull, Hal will try his best to keep a conversation going. He loves talking to people, and figuring out how they work, especially people with complicated or interesting personalities. Unfortunately, this makes him rather pushy. He will not give up on making somebody laugh until he is absolutely sure he has failed. This makes him somewhat obnoxious to those who don't like him straight out.
In reality, Hal is fueled by a need to make everyone feel happy about themselves. He believes nobody deserves to feel like crap. A battle with depression as a middle schooler has left him feeling the need to make sure nobody else has to feel that way. He's also terrified it will come back and he'll collapse again. He's also near-impossible to offend. Hal loves history, and can talk about it for ages before somebody tells him to shut up. He's also a big fan of literature and reading in general, which he often has to hide from those who don't know him well for fear of being stereotyped. Generally, Hal is afraid of being viewed as something he isn't, or something with a negative connotation, even if it isn't true. Outwardly, he'll brush it off, but inside, it hurts him deeper than most would think.
Hal loves the outdoors, and is obsessed with going out and exploring them. Be it hiking, rock climbing, fishing, camping, or swimming, Hal will go out there and do it. He often drags his friends out, not always to their wishes, but they usually end up having a good time. He swims competitively as a sport, which gives him his surprising physique. He finds animals refreshing, but tires of them quickly, with the exception of dogs. Hal's also a big fan of food. American food, deep fried, baked, barbecue sauce slathered american food. He can eat it because all his exercise keeps him from getting fat. He often jokes about this.

History
Hal grew up a relatively average kid. His mother died when he was young, but his father was always there, even though he worked long hours as a mechanic. Hal's childhood was spent helping his father fix things and running around in the forest behind his house. Hal didn't have many friends until he reached 6th Grade, when he suddenly found that comedy was a way for him to connect to others. He instantly became a favorite of kids in his grade, and everyone knew him.
Surprisingly, Hal felt alone. His life felt superficial, and his friends phony. After a nasty snub from a girl when he was in 8th grade, Hal spiraled downward into a horrid depression. He spent months like this, feeling like nothing was worth doing. Only once did he ever consider ending it, and nearly went through with it, but in the end, he stopped himself. Finally, his father noticed what was going on and he was sent to a doctor, where he recovered over the next month or so. Amazingly, his school work has not suffered, a brilliant feat of resilience.
Upon his admission to the Ashbury Academy, Hal was overjoyed, if confused. He had no idea why he was admitted, but was glad to get a fresh start after the mess he had made of his middle school life. Hal quickly took up his new mission of making as many people happy as he could, and set out for it with a passion. He eventually developed a more close and earnest group of friends, those who shared some of his likes and beliefs. He finally feels like he's found his place in the world, and wonders what will happen when he has to go out and do it all for real.

Favorite memory
Hanging from a treebranch over a the creek behind his house as a 10 year old. He loved the feeling of being so high but so free. Nothing could beat the feeling of the drop into the creek either.
Least favorite memory
The blackest moment of his depression, when he considered his suicide. He refuses to even think in detail about the incident.
What corporation sent you to Ashbury?
Tromford Automotive is a massive, industrial, car company. Its owner and CEO, Frank Tromford, is worth billions. Tromford cars are considered high quality, cheap vehicles, and are renowned around the world.
While working on a particularly fancy Tromford car, Hal's father unwittingly began a discussion with Mr. Tromford himself. The two hit it off, and Mr. Polwith didn't even realize who the man he took out for drinks was until the end of the night. Mr. Tromford, understanding how difficult paying for college would be for Hal, looked into the boy. He got Hal admitted to Ashbury, a debt to which both Polwith men owe him greatly.

Twitter Name
@Halpoles
"Hey, c'mon, at least you aren't addicted to drugs or uglier than a bulldog hit by a truck!"
HAL POLWITH
"Hey! How's Your Day? Even if it's bad, I'm still happy to listen!"
Brooke Avery
"Hmm...Tricky. Not the kind of person I work well with, but, I guess I don't dislike her. Don't talk to her much at all."
Given their opposing personalities, Hal and Brooke are not exactly excellent friends. Hal tries to "work his magic" on her when he can, but its fairly obvious to him it doesn't work. He shrugs it off and moves on.
Korrigan Alexander Jackson
"He seems like a nice enough guy. Can't say the hair and eyes don't throw me off. He knows his books, I'll give him that."
Hal and Korrie will probably get along decently, they share some interests. Hal is rather off-put by Korrie's appearance, and often stares, though he thinks Korrie notices more than it appears. Korrie seems to object to Hal's personality, but he doesn't mind.
Amanda Cho
"Such a cute girl. It's really too bad she's so hard on herself... But she does seem to like my company, so can't say I object."
Hal feels this is a girl who needs his help. He tries to act well around her, and works hard to try to boost her self esteem. They're probably a good bet to become friends.
Spencer Dalle
"Christ, what a prick sometimes. We get it, you have red hair. Cheer up bud..."
Hal and Spence are often at odds, given their near opposite personalities. Hal is fed up with hearing the same 10 jokes about Spence's hair color. At least tell original jokes. And, somewhere in Hal's head, he feels sorry for the boy. He does want to help, and be friends, the guy just wont let him.
Maie-Marie Malveaux
"*whistles* Dang! Never met somebody so similar to me! Great girl. Wish she'd race me though. I bet I could win."
Hal secretly has a bit of a crush on Maie. Aside from that, he thinks she's a great person, and he'd love to go out adventuring with her sometime. He appreciates her similar quest to save people, though he thinks hers is more detrimental (to her) than his own.
Laney Kaire Chandler
"She's attractive, that's true. Not really my type though. Seems a bit high-and-mighty, though I guess that's not really her fault..."
Hal finds Laney confusing. She's very outgoing, but at the same time he feels that she towers of the rest of their grade. He often wonders what she's like outside school. He has no real intent of ever finding out, he just likes to think. One of his favorite character studies.
Riley Emerson
"Oy! Don't put me in the ring with her! *laughter* But seriously, toughest damn girl I've ever met. Sometimes, it's even scary. Wish she'd tone it down sometimes though, some people aren't fans."
Hal's intimidated by Riley, though he'd never admit it. She's a very unusual person, so Hal finds her interesting. Hal wonders, though he'd never ask her, if she's trying to hide something with that demeanor. He doubts it, but you never know.
Nathan Matthews
"He's a nice guy, maybe a little too nice. *chuckles* But seriously, I like him. I'd love to see some of his writing, it's always nice to read something from somebody you know."
Hal is essentially an acquaintance of Nathan. They aren't friends per say, but they don't dislike each other. Hal always appreciates somebody as mature as Nathan, and could expect to get along with him well in the future.
Connor MacQuarrie
"If you ever put me on steroids, I think I would be Connor. Though of course, I am more attractive...joking, don't tell him I said that, he could probably beat me up with one hand. Plus he's on the team, so I can't NOT like him."
Hal likes Connor. And he loves hanging out with him. Connor reminds Hal of the brother He never had. Maybe that's a little cheesy, but Hal likes Connor's wild personality. They're best bros.
Brenden Rivers
"Ugh, how can you be such a jerk and so nice at the same time?! Chill bro!
Hal is very put-off by Brenden. The boy's demeanor infuriates him to no end, and Hal is done with it. To put it shortly, Hal stays far away from Brenden. The kind of remarks that come from him can only end badly.
Emilie Delacour
"Emilie is funny. But like sarcastic funny. Snarky I guess. Who am I to argue with snark? Anyway, she's a nice enough girl I guess.
Hal likes Emilie, but is somewhat distracted by her own rapid-happiness nature. Her cynicism washes off him like water on rocks. Understanding her romanticism, Hal tries to make sure he doesn't give off the wrong vibes.
Aspen Hancock
My man! This guy's got a sick backstroke, let me tell you. Honestly, this is the only guy I'd bet against myself on. Plus he takes wicked pictures."
Hal and Aspen are teammates, to put it lightly. Because they share a sport, Hal knows Aspen better than a lot of the other students, especially because the Swim Team is so small. Given both boys are supportive and caring, they get along even better. Hal's humor is the perfect counter to Aspen's quietness.
Acacia Hancock
She's great. I have NEVER met somebody that social, and she's not obnoxious about it at all. And that girl can move. Don't let her size fool you, she has skills. Like, if I had to pick somebody to teach my how to dance, I'd pick her. Seriously though, I need help, do you know anybody?"
Hal is a fan of Acacia, but then, who isn't? He always appreciates her energy and leading talent. But he worries about her clinginess, though he'd never say it to her face. He knows her quiet well because of his relationship with Aspen, and considers her a friend.
Questions for Hal

"Shoes? Um, okay, weird way to start. I guess I own four sets. Regular shoes, Running shoes, slides for the pool deck, and a pair of work/hiking boots."

Do you keep secrets?
"That depends. If you ask me to keep the girl you like a secret, sure. But if you set fire to old man Jenkin's truck (long story), I'm calling the cops. Plus, if you feel like shit, thats something I'm telling about, I don't care whether you asked me not to, its too important.
What are your astrological signs?
"Ugh, that BS? Nope, sorry, no idea. Whatever October is I guess."
What are your tastes in movies, books, and music?
"Okay, Books: I'll read anything that isn't romance or random vauge non-fiction, though my favorite authors are Tolkien and Bradbury. Movies, I'm a big fan of action, thrillers, and comedy, Shawshank Redemption is my favorite. Music, I'm a pretty wide range guy, anything from Coldplay up through Green Day and Arctic Monkeys. No death metal though, ugh."
Do you have scars?
"Yeah, I've got this one wicked one *lifts shirt* right here across my chest. I think I got it from a tree branch, but I tell people I wrestled a bear."
What are your feelings on gay marriage, abortion, legalization of marijuana, or other controversial topics?
"I'm pretty liberal I guess. Pro-gay, pro-abortion and all that. I think we shouldn't restrict gun rights, just do better background checks though. No reason to take all the guns away."
Any tattoos or piercings?
"Ugh, gross, no. I can't stand to even look at them. Maybe ears, but not on guys and little kids, it's just weird."
What does your handwriting look like?
"Couldn't get much worse if you ran my hand over with a truck. I am the bane of every handwritten essay ever. Thank god for keyboards, am I right?"
What is your religious background?
"My dad and I were never very religious. We celebrated Christmas and Easter and stuff, but I don't think I've ever been in a church except for a funeral."
Where do you like to shop?
"Shop? I'm not much of a shopper. I guess I like outdoor stores and bookstores. I want to buy a machete from REI, they look awesome, but I don't actually know what I'd do with it."
What is your relationship like with your sibling(s)?
"I'm an only child. I guess Connor is kind of like a brother, and the team are like my cousins or something? But I don't really know what it's like."
Do you have enemies? How did you make them?
"I hope I don't have any enemies. If I do, maybe they have a peanut allergy. Then I can throw peanuts at them."
What are your ambitions? Do you have a “five-year plan”?
"A five year plan? What am I, a communist? I guess I'm gonna run an automotive company. Before Ashbury, I wanted to teach history at a university. But I'm okay with making billions. *Slightly forced laughter*"
What are their political preferences?
"Like I said, I'm pretty liberal. I guess I'm like, a moderate liberal or something? I don't really care."

Nicknames
Mal (Semi-formal, taken from her last name. It means 'bad' so most people close to her don't use it, but a 'casual' teacher or someone in a similar position might pull it out.)
M, "Trois-emme" (From her name having three M's in it. She hates this one, and it's used only in ignorance by a well-meaning stranger or else when somebody's actually trying to aggravate her.)
She doesn't mind being called either Marie or Maie. Most people default to Marie because it's more common.

Appearance
Despite her tomboyish personality, Marie's appearance is very much that of a girl. Shoulder-length blonde hair, occasionally dyed or tipped some exotic color, hangs down over her pale skin and 'cute' facial features (big round eyes, small nose, etc.) Her body, likewise, is rather petite, at a whopping 5 foot even and around a hundred pounds. She's toned, athletically, but not very muscular, even when she flexes (which is more often than is probably appropriate.) Even though her frame is small she tries to make up for this by wearing loud colors or just generally being loud herself.
Her fashion sense is peculiar. Because she looks cute and doll-like, she can pull off strange fashion choices without really trying. In casual situations she is often seen wearing men's gym attire (tight t-shirt and shorts or sweats,) and these serve as her general outdoor clothes as well ("Never know when you've gotta run!") She hates dresses because she doesn't like the way they usually fit her, and she refuses to wear skirts because she has a constant irrational fear that everybody can see her underwear at all times. Formal wear doesn't really exist in her wardrobe. Instead, she has a large selection of active-wear (both men's and women's) and a single blue dress that never gets worn.
She doesn't touch makeup, which has made a lot of her peers jealous in the past because of her relatively clear skin. Because of this she gets baffled easily when other girls start talking about their morning routines, and all she can say is "I shower a lot."
Her fashion sense is peculiar. Because she looks cute and doll-like, she can pull off strange fashion choices without really trying. In casual situations she is often seen wearing men's gym attire (tight t-shirt and shorts or sweats,) and these serve as her general outdoor clothes as well ("Never know when you've gotta run!") She hates dresses because she doesn't like the way they usually fit her, and she refuses to wear skirts because she has a constant irrational fear that everybody can see her underwear at all times.

Personality
Marie is easy to get along with, but equally easy to hate, because of her simplistic personality. She is friendly and approachable, and likes to talk to 'unpopular' kids just because they interest her, but this habit sometimes ends in bitter feelings from popular girls who think she's a joke, as well as even unpopular kids who think she's taking pity on them. She is the type who likes to listen to people ramble on about whatever they're passionate about, and will then ramble herself about the things she's passionate about: fitness, food, anime, and the vastness of the universe, which she doesn't know anything about.
She isn't perceived as particularly intelligent, because she really isn't. She loves learning new things but can't retain information well at all, often forgetting things by accident, including people's names or past meetings. She means well, and easily rolls with the punches when somebody calls her stupid, but she does have a bit of a hidden complex regarding her intelligence, often being the first person in a room to put herself down over how stupid she is. This is also the first thing people usually attack when they want to put her down, and she just laughs it off every time.
Marie doesn't put up with people who put themselves down or attack others, and will reflexively try and shift any and all blame onto herself. While not a true martyr complex, it's not that far off either. She likes to think she is saving people by taking on all the pain herself, even if she logically knows it doesn't work that way. People don't often pay it much mind, because she is so upbeat all the time, but it's a habit that can easily get on everybody's nerves. She is working to try and change the way she acts because she has alienated friends in the past, but changing yourself is hard, so it's slow progress.

Fears
Aside from her bizarre paranoia involving skirts, Marie is terrified of being lost. Lost in a new place, in the middle of nowhere, lost in a crowd, it doesn't matter. If she doesn't know where she is or where she's going, she gets the cold sweats. Thank god for GPS technology these days, right?
Strengths
- Actual physical strength and fitness
- Her naivete means she's never scared or lost in a social situation
- She's one of those girls who can look good in anything without trying
Weaknesses
- Completely socially oblivious. If people are talking behind her back or subtly insulting her, she will never catch on. Like, never ever.
- Information retention
- Poor impulse control
History
Originally hailing from Quebec, Marie's family moved to Manhattan Island halfway through her elementary school career due to her father's position as a well-respected business consultant. Her father became a permanent on-call consultant to the CEO of Jam! Energy, one of the highest-grossing soft drink conglomerates in the country. Marie was sent to a private school and their family was never hungry because of all the money her Father took in, but Marie herself wasn't a fan of inner city life. There just weren't enough ways to expend her energy, and there were only so many times you could run laps around Central Park before the scenery started getting repetitive. Her grades began to slip and she was diagnosed with ADHD and put on various kinds of pills to help regulate her poor attention span and energy levels.
This worked for a while, but her energy had little to do with her brain chemistry in the end. It was just her personality. She was pulled from private school in grade seven and received home-schooling instead in hopes that she would do better in a more comfortable environment. And again, for a while, this seemed successful. Her grades rose and she stopped seeming so frustrated all the time. But even this had an end. The CEO of Jam! Energy suffered a major heart attack and passed away in his office, sending the company into a bad PR spiral (did he die because he drank Jam? That stuff will kill you!) The cash stopped flowing, and Marie's family could no longer afford her personal tutor. Her father was hired on as interim CEO of Jam! but honestly he was just hired as a scapegoat so that nobody within the company had to take the fall in the media. Even so, he was able to pull the company's accounts out of the gutter and back into the black, but Jam! Energy never could wipe away the dark smudge on their reputation, and the only people who were drinking their products were high schoolers and college students who didn't care about their supposed health concerns.
What the company needed wasn't better management, they had that part covered, they needed a better image. To that end, the new CEO turned his eyes on the brightest shining star he knew - his own daughter. Maie-Marie was sent to Ashbury to continue her schooling and to get the pedigree that would be needed for the new face of Jam!

Favorite memory
One time while still living in Quebec, after watching the movie Forrest Gump with her family, she decided to run as far as she could, for no particular reason. She didn't tell her family anything about where she was headed, just "I'm going out for a run." Five hours later, she was in the middle of nowhere, completely stranded. She had to knock on a stranger's door to ask to use their phone. It took an hour for her parents to figure out where she had gone, and another two hours to actually come pick her up. She was grounded for two weeks afterward, but the memory is still dear to her, because she finds it hilarious.
Least favorite memory
Once and only once was Marie ever sent to school in 'girly' clothes, in grade 3. It was her parents' idea, against her will, but she agreed because they insisted on it, thinking she looked incredibly cute. They were right, but not even a minute after she got there, the usual boys she hung around with had flipped up her skirt and one boy tried to kiss her as a joke. She ran home without even attending her first class. She cut up her nice clothes and yelled at her parents when they tried to scold her, and the issue was never brought up again.
What corporation sent you to Ashbury?
Marie was sent on behalf of Jam! Energy, who hoped to use her image to pick their name up out of the gutter. While not technically an heiress (she doesn't even remotely have the business mind and everybody knows it) she is still the daughter of the CEO. She has the pedigree to attend and a real purpose for being there, even if others look down on her because she won't actually inherit the company (although her father secretly hopes that she will gain the business sense to actually follow in his footsteps.)

Maie-Marie Malveaux
"Who is my best friend...? If you had to ask me right now I would say... you, I suppose?"
Brooke Avery
"Brooke is a bit of a flower, I can tell. I would like to spend more time alone with her, even if she says she hates me. Perhaps I could get her to move past my flaws and we could be friends?"
Marie takes Brooke's harsh attitude towards the world personally, as though Brooke were actually mad at her specifically for being imperfect. She hopes in time that she can become a person that Brooke could bear to be friends with, though she doesn't really know how she might accomplish such a task.
Hal Polwith
"Hal is very funny, I like hanging around with him, because the way he talks makes me smile."
Marie likes Hal a lot. He is just the sort of person Marie likes to hang around with. The type that is active and upbeat, as well as being very passionate and able to 'nerd out' every once in a while. She secretly wants to run a marathon with him to see who could last longer.
Korrie Jackson
"I think I could learn a lot from Korrie, but I wish that he would stop pranking other people."
Marie admires Korrie for being so into computers as well as so many other things that she can't find the time for. She severely dislikes his mean streak, but thinks that he'll 'grow out of it' somehow. She would like to learn computers from him, even though anything beyond downloading anime and social media is probably a bit much for her.
Amanda Hirano
"Amanda-san chou kawaii neeee~ Bishoujo desu neeee~"
Completely oblivious of the fact that she is probably coming on way too strong at all times, Marie thinks that Amanda is adorable. Even though Amanda is older than her, Marie treats her like a younger sibling. She admires Amanda's sense of style and always tries to talk about Japanese culture with her for some reason. Emphasis on tries to.
Spencer Dalle
"Monsieur Spencer is difficult to place, I think."
Marie gets a strange feeling from Spence, like that of a kindred spirit, as somebody who sometimes makes horrible decisions to hurt themselves for unknown reasons. However, she doesn't really know him well enough to broach the subject, so their relationship remains mysterious and superficial.
Laney Chandler
"SHE IS SO... COOL!"
Marie has a hard time seeing past Laney's 'Ms. Perfect' facade, and admires her greatly for being so 'haute-couture.' Marie recognizes that she herself isn't exactly the model of class and panache, but she greatly admires all the hard work and time it must take to pull that style off.
Nathan Matthews
"He is a good boy, n'est-ce pas? But maybe girls like somebody a little more... wild, I think?"
School's a big place. When you coast by trying to just do what everybody else wants, it's hard to leave an impression on a girl like Marie. She likes Nathan well enough, but unfortunately finds him a bit forgettable and he often gets overlooked in her mind.
Connor McQuarrie
"I have a lot of respect for athletes. He is a bit of a clown, but I think that we get along fine. It is easy to forget my problems when I am with him."
Marie is loud enough that it's difficult to find somebody louder than her. Because of this, Connor makes a pretty big impression. However, sometimes two similar wavelengths amplify themselves too hard and blow out your speakers...
Brenden Rivers
"It is something I do not like to say, but I do not get along with Brenden, maybe? He confuses me and makes it difficult to tell, but I think he is insulting me a lot? Even if he's right, this is how he acts to everybody, and that is not okay."
As the socially oblivious person that she is, Marie is alternatingly immune and completely susceptible to Brenden's natural charisma. She takes most things he says at face value, and his attitude often just leaves her confused, making him uncomfortable to be around. She doesn't really get this feeling from anybody else, so she tries to avoid him if possible.
Emilie Delacour
"A rival approaches?!"
Marie finds Emilie to be fun to be around, and despite cultural differences between Quebecois and Parisian french, just having another francophone around makes her seem less exotic, which is nice. But their similarities have inspired a competitive streak within Marie, and she will unconsciously try to one-up the poor girl whenever there's something to be won.
Erin "Riley" Emerson
"It is nice to see there is a girl here who is not so girly like me. I would drown in accessories if I was left in this sea of pretty girls."
Since Marie has a hard time thinking about people beyond what she's shown, she completely believes that Riley is a totally tough chick, and admires her for that fact. She'd like to get to know Riley better, but never thinks to ask too deeply about it. They could probably be better friends if she did.
Aspen Hancock
"He has a certain... dignity about him. It makes me respect him, even if I do not know him very well. He is somebody who is going places, I think? Perhaps just the sort of person who fits right in here."
Marie seems to respect Aspen, but even though he is genuine, his 'perfect' personality (or so Marie perceives it) makes him hard for somebody like Marie to approach. She liked to hang around him well enough, but he probably wouldn't be the first person she approached for conversation over somebody like Hal or Connor.
Acacia Hancock
"Madamoiselle Acacia is certainly somebody who forces you to like them, if this is not rude to say. She is often surrounded by others, and there is good reason for this. Though perhaps around her I feel as though I am bossing her around?"
Much like her brother, Marie's opinion of Acacia resides in the clouds somewhere. As though she belongs to a different class of being (though maybe this is just by association.) She likes Acacia a lot, however, but the two of them often end up like a comedy duo with no straight-man. They need somebody to knock them over the head when they get too far down a dumb train of thought.
1. How many shoes do you own? What types?
"Just two pairs. One pair for running, one for not running. Durability and comfort are important above all, but I often get made fun of for not being stylish for some reason. Are sneakers not proper formal attire? Surely you don't need to have a whole extra pair of shoes for dressy occasions? ...Why are you looking at me with pity eyes?"
2. Are you on social media? Who’s in your profile pictures with you?
"You ask as if my profile picture is of myself. I do not have a good picture of myself, so instead I take a picture of my most recent favourite anime character. Currently this is Matoi Ryuko from Kill la Kill. Have you seen this show? No? I must recommend... actually, perhaps not. It is... well, it is not for everybody."
3. How many romantic relationships have you had?
"When I was very young, I had a boyfriend, but he dumped me over the phone because he said he had not seen me in over a week and that was the only way he could get a hold of me. Is this acceptable, normally? I'm afraid I still don't really know. My second was just last year, a girl had asked me out, and we went on a few dates, but she too wanted me to text her every day. Who has the time for this? I... tried to let her down gently. I do not think she took it very well, but were we that serious in the first place? Again, I'm afraid I don't really know. Perhaps I am not cut out for this romance yet. There is much to learn..."
4. Are they right- or left-handed?
"I was born right-handed, though now you cannot really tell the difference in my penmanship because it has degraded over time. Who writes things these days anyway? Does this count as ambidextrous?"
5. What charities do they donate to?
"Does giving blood count as donating to charity? I'm afraid I don't really make a point to give my money regularly... is this unusual for somebody with no stable income?"
6. What are your biggest fears?
"I dislike it when I do not know where I am. As long as I have my feet on the ground and know my way home, I can conquer anything! Anything at all! Hmm, perhaps not everything. I am still spooked by girly clothes, do not ask why, please."
7. How much money do you make?
"This is a question as though I make a stable income, as though I have employment, yes? I am afraid this is not the case. Though if I need something, I can usually ask Papa. I do not think that we are short on money, if that was the direction of the question."
8. What is your ethnicity?
"Ah, je suis Canadienne, French-Canadian you would say. From Quebec, on the outskirts of Quebec city. I must recommend this area... although it may be difficult if you do not know proper french."
9. Do you speak with an accent?
"You have noticed my accent? I apologize if this makes me difficult to understand. I get many people thinking that my vocabulary is not good because of how heavy my accent is, but this is not the case. It is simply the way I speak."
10. What did you dress as for Halloween last year?
"This is slightly embarassing, but I did not do anything for Halloween last year. I had planned to meet some friends, but when the day came, I completely forgot. While children were trick-or-treating, I had fallen asleep watching anime. C'est la vie. This year perhaps I shall dress up."
11. What are your email addresses, blogs, and websites? Passwords?
"This... this is a very personal question, is it not? Oooh ooh! Oh! Oooooooh! You should check out my Tumblr! Ah, perhaps not. I got very excited, but you are not of this niche, I presume. Zut, I thought I might gain another follower. Sometimes I forget that not everyone is like me, you know?"
12. What are you superstitious about?
"Emm, perhaps this is just me personally, but have you ever noticed that street lights turn off when you run under them at night? And then they turn back on again once you are past? I have read that this is caused by an electromagnetic field given off by certain people! ...Eh? 'Power-cycling?' I do not know what this means."
13. Are you allergic to anything?
"Nothing comes to mind, really."
14. What hobbies do you have?
"Sometimes I feel as though my life is just a collection of hobbies. Running, camping, hiking, watching anime, listening to music, dancing, all sorts of things."
15. Do you keep secrets?
"NON! ...I mean, emm, no. Not well, anyway. Please do not tell me anything you don't want people to know, I beg you."
16. What is your astrological signs?
"I am a Taurus, if you believe in that sort of thing. I mean, it fits, n'est-ce pas? Bull-headed and all. I am not convinced."
17. What is your taste in movies, books, and music?
"You are already aware of my taste for anime and manga, yes? Aside from that, I like anything that drips with too much drama. No reality TV though, please. I dislike the... manipulative nature of this. As far as music, I enjoy all sorts of things, but mostly I listen to hip-hop classics of the 90s. Rap these days has only a very small piece of the integrity and meaning that the old style had, I think."
18. Do you have scars?
"I have plenty of rough patches from repeated falls, fractured bones and such, but I have never really had a deep cut that would leave a scar, no."
19. What are your feelings on gay marriage, abortion, legalization of marijuana, or other controversial topics?
"I simply do not get involved. I am only smart enough to know that I am not smart enough for these topics. Other people are affected deeply by these, but I do not have the stake or passion, I am afraid. I hope you do not think less of me for this."
20. Any tattoos or piercings?
"None."
21. What does their handwriting look like?
"You... do not truly wish to know the answer to this. No, I will not provide a demonstration, you will only laugh at me."
22. What is your religious background?
"Like most of the area I grew up, my family was catholic. As for me, I could not say. It seems easy to believe these things, but again, I know I am simply not smart enough. Perhaps I will never know."
23. Where do you like to shop?
"I have difficulty when talk comes to brands, to tell the truth. Most of my wardrobe consists of workout clothes, so I tend to shop wherever has a good deal."
24. What is your relationship like with your sibling(s)?
"I am an only child, unfortunately. However, I have always wanted an imouto, a younger sister, to dote on and give life advice to. Oh, she would confide in me, and we would fight against the world together for the sake of her passions. All of her friends would-" She continues like this for over ten minutes.
25. Do you have enemies? How did you make them?
"I do not think I have any enemies...? Although I have been secretly bullied by somebody for a while. I suppose perhaps somebody does not agree with my personality? I do not remember getting into any fights with anybody. It is a puzzle to me, but I do not mind so much. I have probably done something to deserve it."
26. What are your ambitions? Do you have a “five-year plan”?
"I would like to do as my Papa wants, and help him reform his company's image. I do not know if I am up to the task, but he seems to think that I am, so perhaps there is something I can do. I do not have a particular plan except to simply get through school. This is what is required of me, I think."
27. What are your political preferences?
"My preference is to let people who are smarter than me decide what is best for the country. I cannot even vote anyway."
28. What do you habitually keep in your cupboards, medicine cabinets, and purses?
"I think that I eat much like a regular person, although I try to have some Jam! on hand for when I need a bit of a kick. For the other times, I keep sleeping pills for when I have too much kick. I also try to have a basic first aid kit in my bathroom to treat basic scrapes and bruises. I do not own a purse, as I have never understood what was wrong with pockets. Inside my pockets is simply my wallet and my phone, usually."
29. What are your favorite outfits/pieces of clothing?
"Sweats! Very easy to move in, great for working out, lounging, and nobody can see your underwear! You can get all sweaty from a run and then come home and change into a different set of workout clothes and you are still comfortable. And still nobody can see your underwear! It is wonderful."
30. What do you keep in remote storage?
"I... do not know what this is? Something for when there is no room in your house? Why would I keep that much stuff? ...Is this an American thing, to have too many things?"
31. Are you a night owl or a morning person?
"I prefer mornings, though I pull late nights very often as well. I enjoy any time when I can go for a run and there are no cars on the road or people on the sidewalk. It feels like my own small world."
"Just two pairs. One pair for running, one for not running. Durability and comfort are important above all, but I often get made fun of for not being stylish for some reason. Are sneakers not proper formal attire? Surely you don't need to have a whole extra pair of shoes for dressy occasions? ...Why are you looking at me with pity eyes?"

I do not remember getting into any fights with anybody. It is a puzzle to me, but I do not mind so much. I have probably done something to deserve it."
26. What are your ambitions? Do you have a “five-year plan”?
"I would like to do as my Papa wants, and help him reform his company's image. I do not know if I am up to the task, but he seems to think that I am, so perhaps there is something I can do. I do not have a particular plan except to simply get through school. This is what is required of me, I think."
27. What are your political preferences?
"My preference is to let people who are smarter than me decide what is best for the country. I cannot even vote anyway."
28. What do you habitually keep in your cupboards, medicine cabinets, and purses?
"I think that I eat much like a regular person, although I try to have some Jam! on hand for when I need a bit of a kick. For the other times, I keep sleeping pills for when I have too much kick. I also try to have a basic first aid kit in my bathroom to treat basic scrapes and bruises. I do not own a purse, as I have never understood what was wrong with pockets. Inside my pockets is simply my wallet and my phone, usually."
29. What are your favorite outfits/pieces of clothing?
"Sweats! Very easy to move in, great for working out, lounging, and nobody can see your underwear! You can get all sweaty from a run and then come home and change into a different set of workout clothes and you are still comfortable. And still nobody can see your underwear! It is wonderful."
30. What do you keep in remote storage?
"I... do not know what this is? Something for when there is no room in your house? Why would I keep that much stuff? ...Is this an American thing, to have too many things?"
31. Are you a night owl or a morning person?
"I prefer mornings, though I pull late nights very often as well. I enjoy any time when I can go for a run and there are no cars on the road or people on the sidewalk. It feels like my own small world."

Nicknames
Spence - his older brother and most of his friends call him by that manner.
Age
18
Gender
Male
Sexual Orientation
Arguably an asexual
Grade Level
Senior
Appearance
A fairly tall individual standing roughly at 176 cm and weighing about 65 kg. Spencer's body frame consists of narrow shoulders, a set of lean muscles and an overall average build. What stands as a feature he's mostly known for is his fiery orange hair with a few locks of red reaching the upper strands. It's often trimmed regularly since Spencer dislikes people commenting about it too much. At times he'd wear a beanie only to cast away any attention his hair can get into. Concave cheeks build mostly of his square-like face along with his flushed chin. Thin eyebrows set above hazel eyes and a straight, thin nose which ends on a curved tip.
There's nothing eccentrically offbeat nor peculiar about his clothing pattern. On a regular basis, Spencer will most likely dress up with one of his polo shirts and a pair of denim blue jeans. Off school he usually wears sweatshirts paired with cargo shorts.

Personality
Seemingly a person instilled with a cold heart, or so as he claimed. Spencer has no qualms about himself as an individual and how he stands at society, yet he falls down on behalf of his insecurities. Although having friends of his own keeps him from seclusion, he constantly struggles to fit in a place where he truly belongs. Often so, he doesn't find - or refuses to notice - true company from people who've been welcoming on his side.
Understanding Spencer is like looking through a thin layer of clear glass but despite having no outside forces for it to break, it's likely to shatter by itself eventually. In general, Spencer himself jeopardizes his own life by the means of his decisions and a set of foolish actions. More often than not he is reluctant to accept things which do not routinely go by his notions, thus resulting to a stubborn way of progression. This doesn't entirely mean he's close to being depressed. Spencer often tries to rid of his afflicted nature but doing so requires him to use someone for the cause of it. He made a reputation of himself on being an asshole largely by bringing his miseries and hardships onto someone. Perhaps what's worse is that even when someone else is becoming a medium for Spencer's misfortune, he puts the blame on them nonetheless.
Through other aspects, Spencer is widely known for his satirical charm - mostly because of the color of his hair which probably has an ambiguous relevance towards humor. He's the kind of student who constantly winds up from his desk and more likely drowns on the sea academic stress. He'd only hope a can of cola can be relied on between piles of homework and projects. As for people, Spencer holds a rather flexible demeanor. At times, he projects an equal form of sympathy to others but doesn't go beyond his borders. As far as anyone knows, being profoundly connected to someone has its perks but to Spencer, it's a detriment. Being attached to someone is something he's largely indifferent of, or rather, something he reluctantly accepts as a form of his feelings. He doesn't consider it as a part of him, yet everytime he experiences it, he becomes resentful rather than indifferent. How his flexibility goes varies on the people he meets. If he ends up disliking them, he won't bother bringing himself up and would instead go to people who are worth of his time or just by himself.
Spencer prefers solitude over anything, though he can still find time to socialize but overall, he finds it unnecessary to a great extent. To him, being known isn't as relevant as it seems. He can find ways to prove his existence but nothing nearly matters when it comes to that. People point him out to be consistently cynical and often too deliberate in terms of dealing with school work. Though most of those are true, there are other things people failed to see. Spencer's outlandish display of humor occasionally shows how it's contradictory to his own self.

History
Setting aside Spencer's uncertainties and his absurd personality, he is actually a gifted individual born with academic intelligence through reasoning. Teachers from his elementary school praised his exceptional cognitive skills which in turn, gave him several awards after joining a number of academic competitions. Spencer used the talent of his as a development for his future endeavors, which is public speaking.
Growing up, Spencer didn't have many friends as he is mostly occupied with studies and preparations for various school competitions. But that generally did not mean he was isolated. He enjoyed his life from its simplicity alone. Playing with his dog Wrecker made him happier than anyone else and seeing this made his parents contented with his social capacity; not wanting more for their son to gain any form of fame. Spencer didn't demand anything more but to have his life remain as it was ... until their parents decided to leave Canada and move to the United States.
Spencer's father was an executive branch director of an American finance corporation. What made them move to the US was mostly about the job and how Spencer's father was demanded to transfer to the corporation's main branch due to the CEO's terminal illness. Apparently Spencer had no choice since he wasn't in the position to make any changes and convince his parents to not move. They flew to the US, eventually leaving Canada. Spencer was just ten years old at that time but moving to another country became difficult for him. His new house, albeit larger than that of his hometown, felt largely unwelcoming.
Through the stages of growing up to his adolescence, Spencer was still the same, still missing his hometown but not having the sheer level of homesickness as he had back when he just moved. Only when years passed by did he learn how to accept the changes of the world far from his consent. Though regardless of how he assimilated with such acceptance, there was still a constant string of denial. Spencer always wished everything would go back from what it was before, back when he still felt his unwavering joy.
However, that did not stop Spencer from developing his academic skills and intellect. Soon after his parents heard of Ashbury Academy, they arranged plans to enroll him to the prestigious school while his older brother at another private school. So far, progress went by and Spencer still participated at various public speaking events and debate competitions.

Favorite memory
Everything about his childhood while living at his hometown in Alberta, Canada. What he misses the most are those days when he'd just wake up on a Saturday morning, play Frisbee with his old pal Wrecker (A purebred St Bernard) and climb up to his favorite tree across the neighbourhood with his brother, listening to music while waiting for the sunset to come to view.
Least favorite memory
Moving from his hometown and spending the first few months in the United States being homesick.
What corporation sent you to Ashbury?
The American Finance Institute (AFI) is one of the United States' leading financial corporation with branches extending around Canada, Mexico and some other parts of Central America. Spencer's father is the executive director of the Canadian branch but soon left the country and moved to the United States for urgent matters. The CEO of the corporation, Frank Dolbert was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer a few months ago and was informed to have little chance of survival. So while he is being subjected through dialysis, the company's co-CEO Deihlyn Anton Flores took over but to make matters worse, he wasn't competent at controlling the stability of the company and needed to be replaced by someone as soon as possible.
Dolbert and Spencer's father were very close friends and Dolbert himself believed the potential Spencer possessed as a young individual. Though he has a few doubts of his own, Dolbert envisioned the boy to be a part of the company. Spencer could one day exceed some of Dolbert's expectations as he sees a a young version of himself through the likes of Spencer.

"I do not mistake mischief as a childish attribute of an individual as I do happen to be quite mischievous myself ... I guess.

I never thought using it for crap talk can be acceptable."

"One thing I do not understand between individuals is that they do not know being impervious to nonsense ―mostly words, naturally is 'their kind of thing' I appreciate people who are aware of that, like her.

However, I am not quite certain how long this kind of character can stand with its impervious ... ness."

"Do not mistake arrogance as some kind of disease. One is arrogant because he or she sees the potential within themselves. They do not level with the weak nor the ill-fated as they know such things will drag them down from what they're thriving to attain. It's not always about being on top but rather, staying on your own level and I don't see anything wrong with it. I like him, in a 'such an interesting specimen' sort of way.

"Sometimes I wonder how society does its tricks, forcing people with enthusiasm and lavish abundance. I don't get it at all. Perhaps I'm just too young to overthink about things, like how they suck all the time. For this person ―like most of them, I do not know much. I'd like to assume she's just this typical sunshine who wears skirts and dances on the field while she lifts her small umbrella. Even if I'm still a kid today, I can never afford doing that."

"I like how this guy becomes so ambitious about everything. It only goes to show that people with goals in mind are likely the ones who will succeed, but it doesn't mean everyone should. Success is but a selection of who goes in and who goes out. If you're meant or built for success, then it's a no-brainer that you'll go in but if you think falsely that you're going to reach the door to success, then no ... there's obviously no room for you. Through other aspects, I see nothing wrong with this guy. He's an intellectual contender among all but a fool in his own way. If you're that ambitious, you don't support others. You carry yourself on your own and not think about the lesser fools."
Things you ought to know about me
_____________________________________________________________
"like they matter"
_____________________________________________________________
How many shoes do you own? What types?
"Shoes? hm ... probably a bunch. I don't really care how many footwear I possess. They'd mostly be flat shoes or leather for casual wear. Then again, I don't really care. I can even go to an Intercollegiate Public Speaking Competition barefooted."
Are you on social media? Who's with you on your profile picture?
"I am but I don't often go through this medium as much as everyone does. For my profile picture, that isn't anyone's business―but mine to discuss with."
How many romantic relationship(s) did you have?
"Heh! Good one. I'm incapable of romance. Next please!"
Are you right or left handed?
"Neither. I can break the laws of physics by bending the motion of pens and pencils in order for me to write."
What charities do you donate to?
"Whatever my dad involves himself with. It's frequently his money anyway."
What are your biggest fears?
"Finals, first and foremost. Who wouldn't fear judgement day? Other than that, I have a few terrifying sleep paralysis experiences that still haunt me today. Snakes, but you shouldn't be surprised about that. And teachers who are spawns of Satan."
How much money do you make?
"Enough to tear this world a new wormhole."
What is your ethnicity?
"I have no idea. I might be a raccoon for some reason."
Do you speak with an accent?
"Of course not, that's disgusting."
What did you dress for Halloween last year?
"Originally, I was going to be Harry Potter but then I've lost a bet from those freshmen goons on the debate team. So in the end, I dressed up as the eastern bunny. Horrible people, aren't they?"
What are your email addresses, blogs and websites? Passwords?
"Imnotgoingtotellyou@becauseitsconfidential.com"
What is your religious background?
"I don't consider myself being associated with any religion. But I still have my faith, I just don't show it quite often."
What are you superstitious about?
"Why people somehow didn't manage to figure out the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow. Seriously, it's that easy."
Are you allergic to anything?
"Lobster and stupid people in general."
What hobbies do you have?
"Ah I love collecting the bones of the people I've murdered and make a museum out of them. Jokes aside, I do love reading literary fiction but that doesn't mean I'm limited only on reading those kinds of books. I have a fair share of science fiction and fantasy. Other than that, I love speaking to an imaginary person ... at least when I'm alone so that no one notices how remotely crazy I am ―which I'm not. I make a hobby of painting as well despite me being terribly bad at it. It's what I sometimes do to release my anger and hate from the overall stupidity of people."
Do you keep secrets?
"Yes. Victoria's."
What is your astrological sign?
"Aries"
What are your tastes in movies, books and music?
"I don't really watch a lot movies. I just watch what's under everyone's radar but I do have a few favorites of my own such as the classic adaptation of 'To Kill a Mockingbird' and a variety of Pixar films that made my childhood enjoyable. For music, I regularly listen to alternative rock such as Pearl Jam, The Smashing Pumpkins, R.E.M. and etc. Not really into pop music, though I have a few ones that I find conveniently catchy. For books, oh there's so much. From classic literature giants such as the Great Gatsby, The Catcher in the Rye and 1984 to the science fiction and fantasy books I've started loving. There's just so many!"
Do you have scars?
"Leaving Canada left me a ton of scars."
What are your thoughts on gay marriage, abortion, legalization of marijuana or other controversial topics?
"I don't really think I can comprise all of my thoughts towards these interesting topics."
Any tattoos or piercings?
"I don't think so, though I do plan to have a tattoo on my back."
What does your handwriting look like?
"Like Tarzan's? Even I don't know how my penmanship looks like."
Where do you usually shop?
"I am uncertain if Chipotle is a legitimate shop."
What is your relationship with your siblings?
"My older brother is like my best friend. I miss the times we've spent with Wrecker back in Canada and I hope that one day we can all go back and relieve those moments. I don't think that's going to happen though ―which is fine by me, not like I've got any capabilities to let it happen."
Do you have enemies? How do you make them?
"I don't think I have enemies, just people who generally dislike me for some reason. How do I make them hate me? well, it's like back in kindergarten where you'd write an innocent letter to your crush about how you honestly feel about them. Except on my side, I'm not writing for my crush ―not like I have any. I don't know why people hate me for telling how I honestly feel about them. What do they want me to say? I love them? That's absurd and stupid in a lot of ways."
What are your ambitions? Do you have a five-year plan?
"Ambitions? Is that what you have when your parents aren't the ones who take control of your future?"
What are your political preferences?
"I have no interest in politics though I do find it amusing to see their system crumble into a surge of turmoil."
What do you habitually keep in your cupboards, medicine cabinets, and purses?
"So you do believe I keep weed inside my inventory and that's why you're asking this question, aren't you?"
What are your favorite outfits/pieces of clothing?
"Uh ... my sweatshirt? I mean that's the only thing I wear most of the time, if I'm outside class."
What do you keep in remote storage?
"Something I refuse to say. And no, it's not weed. Stop assuming I possess weed dammit!"
Are you a night owl or a morning person?
"I sleep a lot or at least when I have nothing to do. So I'm probably a sloth."

Grade Level

Appearance
Korrie dress in dark colored clothing no matter the weather or the occasion, not being on for the brighter things in life when it comes to his color palette. He has an obsession with the colors of red and black, so his attire consists of mostly those, but he does have them in varying shades and styles, as well as a few other clothes that feature other colors. As far as looks, he's an alright guy, decently muscled, though he's more on the lean side. due to keeping a standard exercise routine. He has a faded scar on his right arm and left leg from when he was attacked by a dog, and they're rather nasty ones too.
He has short hair that is often gelled into spikes, dyed a mix of his two favorite colors, Black and Red, the ratio between them changing every time the colors fade enough to require a re-dye. He also has gotten his hands on a cool pair of contacts that make his pupils appear red and his sclera(the white part) look completely black. He does this mainly because he thinks it's cool, but also to unnerve people who talk to him, as he kinda gets a kick out of watching people struggle to look him straight in the eye. He also sports a few brow piercings across his right brow and another on his tongue, all of them being a simple black in color, though the tongue piercing has a dot of bright red in the center.

Personality
Korrie is, despite his appearance, a very happy person, a lover of gaming and literature, as well as a good prank or two to satisfy his mischievous streak whenever the need overcomes him. His true passion is coding, and he's very, very good at it. He's been doing it forever, and has even become semi-famous across the net for his skills in hacking, which he does from time to time under wraps, inly known by his calling card, a red skull icon that appears on his victims screen before whatever hack he's implanted into their system takes affect.
Despite his ability to get into almost anyone's social media accounts and computers, he doesn't use his talents malicously(for the most part), usually leaving behind a harmless virus to make the person's computer glitch out a bit, make sex noise come out the speakers, and other strange and odd things. The only time he's hacked with dark intent behind him was when he sees someone bullying another particularly badly, or some treats one of his few friends badly. Than he slowly but steadily begins to sow the seeds of that persons downfall, plastering heir social media accounts with embarrassing posts, pictures, and other such things. He's caused people to become laughing stocks, to get talked about, and other things, and while he knows there bad, he always prides himself on never going to far. He thinks of himself as more of a hero then a bully, despite the fact that a small part of him does it just to feel empowered. His talent and success has given him a slight superiority complex.
However, he does have a few obvious issues that people will notice upon meeting him. He's got a sailor mouth(or a gamer mouth, as is the case) and thus will swear at almost any time and during any occasion. He tries to censor himself, but it usually ends in failure. He also is very ossessive of his computer rig, which he's dubbed Alexandra, and his laptop, which he's dubbed Angela. He almost never let's anyone near them, and anyone who tries will find themselves bombarded by a wave of curses and creative threats. They are his children, as he built them from scratch, and has turned them into real beasts. Recently, with his dealings with S.A Electronics, he's download an advanced personal assistant AI program the company is working on. He's programmed both of them with their own personalities, or as much personality as can be given with current technological limits. He talks to then as if they were real people, and gets very defensive when people try and make fun of him for it.

They are his children, as he built them from scratch, and has turned them into real beasts. Recently, with his dealings with S.A Electronics, he's download an advanced personal assistant AI program the company is working on. He's programmed both of them with their own personalities, or as much personality as can be given with current technological limits. He talks to then as if they were real people, and gets very defensive when people try and make fun of him for it.

Fears
Well, aside from the obvious fear of getting caught and exposed as a hacker, he also has a slight fear of spiders, they freak him out. Bugs in general are not good for him, but spider's in particular are something he can only barely stand. He also doesn't like heights, and has a serious case of Cynophobia(fear of dogs) that has haunted him ever since he got attacked and bitten by a feral one when he was 5.
He's also afraid of getting teased and bullied like before, and has a not-so-slight fear of a certain type of girl that causes him to be highly uncomfortable and flinchy in their presence.

History
Korrigan Alexander Jackson's school life was absolute hell for the longest time, and he suffered it in silence. As a young boy, some of his interests and his over all appearance were considered to be quite girlish, earning him a more demons nickname of Alexandra all the way up into high school. He was a quiet kid back then, and a bit of a pushover, so it was an inevitable conclusion that he'd be the target of severe bullying. The prime offender was a popular girl by the name of Samantha, who tortured him relentlessly and was constantly ousting him from the social hierarchy. If anyone tried to be friends with him, they'd quickly find themselves subjected to similar punishment, making it so that Korrie would never have any friends in the real world to be around.
As a bullying target, he had to put up with a ton of psychological, and even a little physical, torture. But the most traumatic experience for Korrie was when he was in the 8th grade. It was the day of the graduation ceremony and Samantha, then a freshman, had decided to pay Korrie a visit. She got some friends and they dragged him into the girl's bathroom, stripped him if his cap, gown and clothes, only to dress him up to look like a girl, complete with make-up, nail polish, and a pretty dress. It was a horrendous, dehumanizing, demasculating, and traumatizing experience, and it didn't end there. The girls had taken pictures if the poor boy and had spread them all over the Internet, cementing his shame that summer as kids everywhere he went laughed at him, calling him names and over all treating him like a joke. He attempted to kill himself twice soon after, the stress and embarrassment of the situation making death seem like the most enticing solution, but both times his sister caught him and proceeded to smack the ever living shot out of him for even thinking of doing something like that. While she meant well, it didn't help him in the slightest, and it caused Korrie to retreat deep inside himself. His parents had been in an uproar, and were quick to sue Samantha's family, who immediately obliged, her patents feeling ashamed and embarrassed, but it didn't matter. The damage had been done.
After a year into high school, Korrie conducted his radical change, wanting to complete separate himself from the event, which had become rather big news in the anti-bullying community, but he would never be able to forget it. He complete refused any help given, believing that if he just ignored the problem, it would go away. He schooled himself in hiding his emotions, in keeping up a strong front, and making sure to never let himself be perceived in such away again. On the day of his 12th birthday, one of his few friends, a guy he had met through a gaming forum, introduced him to the wonder that is coding. At first, he was hesitant, intimidating by the walls of letters and numbers that his friend was trying to drag him into. However, he worked his way through it, and discovered a world that he could freely control, one where he had power to do what ever he could, as long as he had the skill to do so.
Since then, he dedicated himself to honing his craft, his mind taking to it with increasing ease as he continued to code to his hears content. He started with simply things, basic websites that he put out for mere practice, out soon he evolved into more serious endeavors, like modding, game creation, and apps. He just recently began to earn a profit from his work, and had his eyes set on starting his own gaming company, as that was his passion above all else, when he found himself with an opportunity that he couldn't possibly say no to. While it was a bit saddening to leave his friends behind for this new school full of people he didn't know and challenges he had yet to face, he knew that a chance like this only came once in a lifetime, and he'd be damned if he let it pass him by without even attempting to leap on.

The time where he first realized that he was getting bullied.
The day of his 8th grade Graduation
What corporation sent you to Ashbury?
A very influencial Company by the name Saeculo Aureo Electronics, which has a hand in computing, gaming, movie production, Home Entertainment, anything that could possibly have to do with technology is something they likely have their hands in.
Their CEO,a man by the name Reginald Dorvain, noticed Korrie's potential when he had his personal cyber-defense task force, made up of the best hackers money could buy, look into this mysterious Crimson Skull hacker. It took them some time, but they managed to figure out who the boy was and get all of his contact information. With a click of a button, they could've shut him down, but Reginald instead decided that he might've found his possibly heir. The boy's skill was quite exceptional for someone so young, and he shown himself capable of a certain kind of ruthlessness in how he went after those who wronged him. These qualities, and other facts about the boy, made him seem like a perfect canidate for an apprentice and possible heir to his empire.

Korrigan Alexander Jackson
"People and computers aren't that different, they can both be brilliant at sometimes, retarded at others, breakdown, crash, and improve/ruin your day. Only real difference is that fixing a computer's easy, just replace the bad parts. Can't do that with people, they're problems are more complex because people are more complex than machines. And that's what makes them interesting, cause that means they can always surprise you. And what's life without a few surprises along the way."-The DarkLord Korrie
Brooke Avery
"She seems nice, ya know, in that 'I'm going to roast you on a spit' kind of way. She'd probably be into games like Dead Space or maybe Left for Dead 2. Probably the former, actually, as she doesn't seem like the co-op type."
I'm unsure if these two would necessarily get along, but Korrie would try to get to know her. She's the kind of person he finds interesting, almost like a puzzle in a way. He'd also be sure to annoy the hell out of her whenever possible by sending her a bunch of cutesy pictures of kittens, babies, etc. just to see what kind of reaction he could get out of it. He'll probably be threaten with violence on more than one occasion
Henry Polwith
"Cool guy, needs to tell me what books he likes to read so we can see if we share any tastes. Also needs to stop staring at me when he thinks I don't notice, it's understandable because I'm awesome and what not, but still rather vexing. Need to get him a copy of Civilization, a History buff like him would probably love it. Or maybe I shoukd give him Assassins Creed so he camn tell me how badly Ubisoft fucked up in their quest for 'Historical Accuracy'. Heh, that'd be good for a laugh.
These two will probably get along well enough, though Korrie might notice Henry's incessant need to please everyone and try to break him of that habit somehow. This'll probably end in failure cause Korrie isn't the most tactful of people.
Amanda Hirano
"Uhm, How doI talk to this person without wanting to hug her. She just seems so cute and lovable. She seems like more of a casual gamer though, which is sad, but maybe she could get more into with a few pushes. God dammit, If anyone think's of messing with her, they're going to get hacked. Just have to make sure Reggie(his nickname for the CEO of S.A. Electronics) doesn't find out."
Korrie could end up developing a bit of a big brother complex around Amanda, as she just seems so fragile and in need of protection. This could possibly develop into a crush, and likely to stay just given his lack of romance skills and Amanda's orientation, but we'll just have to see how that goes. Will probably try to boost her confidence through gaming somehow.
Spencer Dalle
"He's an ass that puts off his problems onto others and spends his time feeling sorry for himself. Dude needs to get off his ass and do something, instead of just being apathetic to everything. Probably doesn't even like games, or if he does, only plays FPS games like Call of Duty. No sense of taste and definitely someone I'd rather not be stuck with."
This one's a bit harder for me to analyze, so don't take the above statement to heart. That's just how I feel Korrie would think of Spencer paced on my own impression, but since my own understanding of the character seems a little shaky to me, I'll just have to see him in action first. If my guess is right, then these two will probably not get along.
Maie-Marie Malveaux
"Thank god I'm not the only one with a weird or fancy sounding name here. Then again, it's only like that to me cause it's foreign. Moving on, she seems interesting, not all there at times, but that just adds to here charm. Not sure what kind of game she would like, maybe something simple, yet emotional, like Journey? Then again, those kind of games require a lot of thinking . . . I need to think on this for a bit, move on to the next person."
Not quite sure on this one either, cause while I'm sure they'll get along, Korrie might not be able to stand how quick she is to turn to self-deprecation. He remembered a time when he himself thought he was stupid and idiotic, and it was terrible, so for her to do so for simply no real reason would probably strike a nerve in him.
Laney Kaire Chandler
"She seems nice . . . but I can't help but wonder how nice she really is. 'Never know what people are like behind closed doors" and all that. Another casual, but there's hope for her to ascend above the likes of Angry Birds and Candy Crush. Getting side-tracked here, back to Blonde Beauty(oh god that's like a racehorse name, shit, never let her know I said that), she seems nice, definitely the proper type from what I can tell. Don't think she's met too many people outside if her bubble of wealth though, but she doesn't strike me as the snobbish type. I'm just . . .really, really uneasy around girls like her."
Korrie's past experience has made it so that if the two were to be walking down the same stretch of sidewalk, he'd likely cross the street instead of walk past her. He wouldn't say he's actively avoiding her, but he kinda is, as he subconsciously doesn't want to risk getting hurt again by getting involved with a 'popular' girl.
Erin "Riley" Emerson
*Attack on Titan Opening plays in the background* "Yeah, I'm going to get a good laugh out of this one, though the mileage is going to be pretty low if she doesn't watch anime. As far as this chick goes, seems like she's trying to hard to be super macho, a problem I've hardly ever seen in a girl, but I guess there are all different kinds of people in the world. Whatever her reason for being that way, well, I can be a right bastard when somebody pushes me too far, so if she starts trying to push me around, she better be prepared when I push back. Probably plays a bunch of sports games or Call of Duty like a filthy casual. "
Korrie might be kind of the unintentional bully inn this intuition, as he sees her tough act as her throwing her weight around and just bullying other people with her cruel jokes. So unless he finds out the reason behind said behaviors, he's probably going to think of her as a bitch and might label her as a target of hacking, though the fact that she doesn't seem to be one to use Social media makes her a harder target then most. If he finds pout about her past, however, he'll A) apologize for being a complete, insensitive asshole and B) try to help her get over the lack of confidence and her need to hide what she likes, since he can somewhat empathize with that due to his own bout of self-hatred, if not with the cause of it.
Nathan Matthews
"He's a cool guy, probably the nicest person I've met so far. Also might be a little too trusting (and I may take advantage of that at times for pranking opportunities), but overall, a cool guy."
Conner MacQuarrie
"Dude's a cool guy, and as a fellow gamer he has my respect, but more often then not I feel the need to mute my mic when I play with him. His penchant for non-sensical slang, obnoxious nicknames(he calls me Hackson one more time I swear), and completely lack of forethought when he speaks are my main annoyances with him. But other than that, I can hang with him. . . just not on a constant basis. My brain cells need time to recover after every meeting.
Brendan Rivers
"Simply put, he's a pompous ass that I wouldn't trust any farther than I could but his ass across a field. The less I have to deal with his House Lannister bull crap, the better."
Emilie Delacour
"She's hot, she has a sense of humor, AND she plays video games. Add in the french accent and you've got yourself a very desirable woman. . . and just like all desirable woman, she's way out of my league. Anyway, she's a cool person, and definitely a person I would want to play with. Wonder how well she can Smash . . . I'm talking about the game, by the way. Just the game and nothing else."
Aspen Hancock
"Dude seems okay, competitive as hell though, so I wouldn't want to play him in anything. A little competition here and there is good, but this guy seems to take it way too seriously. He's definitely a chill guy in regards to nearly anything else, and I can respect his love of photography. Wonder if we could collaborate on something, as I've got some skill with photo editing softwares."
Acacia Hancock
"Again, she seems nice, but I'm just not sure about her. Plus, she's just way too good at getting people to do what she wants. That's just raises all sorts of red flags for me. Hell, if she wanted to start a crazy cult, I'm almost certain that, like, half the people at this school would do it. Okay, that maybe exaggerating it a bit, but only by a hair."
Acacia scares Korrie, as her sense of presence and leadership can only be seen through a filter of negativity due to past experience. It would take a lot to get him to just be comfortable in her presence, not to mention an actually friendship. So yeah, these too probably won't be friends, though more because Korrie's just too intimidated by her to actually think of approaching her and will likely try to avoid her as much as he possibly can.
Korrigan Alexander Jackson
1. How many shoes do you own, and what kind?
"Wow, first question and I already feel like this is full of bullshit. God, why do I have to do this. . . *ugh*, I have two pairs or so, I think, and they're just some sneakers. Nike, maybe? *sigh*This is so dumb. . .
2.Do you have any social media, and if so, whose in your profile picture?
"I've got Facebook, and that's about it really, unless Steam, PSN, Etc. count as Social media. As for my profile pic, just me giving the camera my trademark grin."
3. Have you have had any romantic relationships?
". . ."
4. Right or left handed?
"Ambidextrous, actually."
5. What charities do you donate to?
"None, actually, though more out of a lack of awareness, actually. Don't really focus on world news and all that. If I did give to a charity, I guess something like Make a Wish or Red Cross? Seem like good people trying to do good work."
6. Biggest Fears?
"Dogs, and being forced to do G-uuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhh, . . . moving on from that, yeah. Dogs suck."
7.How much do you make?
"Depends on the job, really, but most jobs that I take now pay somewhere in the lower 300's, few rare cases pay in the 500's, and since I have a nice amount of return customers, well, let's say I have a pretty nice rainy day fund saved up."
8.What is your ethnicity?
"Uh, is White/Caucasian an acceptable answer? That's as far as I bother to register. Mom says something about a bit of English down the line, maybe a tad of Italian or French. I'm not really concerned by it, I'm Human, I'm American, I'm Californian, and that's all that matters to me."
9.Do you have an accent?
"Everyone has an accent, so this is another stupid question? I guess I have a Californian/West Coast accent."
10.What did you dress-up as for Halloween last-year?
"Uh, that one guy from Tokyo Ghoul, with the tattoos. I think his name is Uta or something like that? It was for a party, and I had just gotten into the series and I really liked the character. I went in depth with that one, though, and still just go around in the outfit as my regular clothes sometimes. Look pretty damn good to, if I do say so myself."
11.What are you're email addresses, blogs, and websites?
"Uh, I have a website for people to request my services, a Twitch channel, my email is korriganj@gmail.com. As for my passwords, no. I don't ever say them out loud, I've got too much stuff on the web under them to risk some. Sorry, but my lips are sealed."
12.Are you superstitious?
"Not particularly, no."
13.Allergic to anything?
"Fuck shellfish, stuff makes me puff up really bad. Always got to be careful."
14.Hobbies?
"Gaming, Programming, A little bit of cosplay, Reading, Song Writing(I don't sing, just write some music here and there), napping."
15.Do you have any secrets?
"Yes, and that's all I'll say on that matter?"
16.What's you Zodiac Sign?
"I'm a Leo."
17.Taste in books, movies, and music?
"Love me some fantasy adventure, though sci-fi is good too, really I like to read anything. Same with movies, for the most part, though most horror movies strike me as dumb and predictable. I tend to laugh when most people scream, just because I find it funny when a hunch I make turns out to be correct. I like Alternative rock for my music tastes, though my taste also can dip into metal. I just like anything with a lot of aggressive beats and guitar riffs."
18.Do you have any scars?
"Yeah, pretty bad ones on my left arm and right leg. These are the reason I'm afraid of dogs."
19.What are your feelings on Gay Marriage, Abortion, legalization of Marijuana, etc.?
"Don't really care much about Gay Marriage, so what if a guy and another guy get married. Not for it, not against it. Same for Legalization, but with, uh, a bit of personal entanglement that would lean me towards yes, rather than no. Abortion, however, is something I'm rather torn on, due to the fact that, despite popular belief, I'm a Christian. Yes, I know, shocking that I don't worship Satan and all that. Anyway, I'm kinda for having it only be for thinks like rape and trying circumstances, because no matter what people say, that's a human being and it just doesn't sit right with me to end a life before it's had a chance to live."
20.Any Tattoos or piercings?
"One tongue piercing, 3 brow piercings, and I'm planning on doing an arm tattoo in the near future."
21.What's your handwriting like?
"It's legible, not the neatest script you'll ever see, but it gets me by. Hardly ever write that much though, I'm a typing man myself."
22.Religious Background?
"Mom's a Christian, Dad's a Christian, Sister's a Christian, and I'm a Christian. Not the most devout of families, but I believe in the values."
23.Where do you like to shop?
"Gamestop, Steam, various Online places, and . . . that's it."
24.What's your relationship with your sibling(s)?
"Resent her ever so slightly for pushing a certain . . burden on to me cause of her own stubborness, but over all, pretty good. She kinda reminds me of Brooke a bit with her attitude, only she's more of an Alpha bitch. Seriously, you don't want to fuck with her, or you'll be eating your own genitals."
25.Do you have enemies? if so, why?
No real enemies, except for one guy that I accidentally got put in jail due to me finding his stash of child pornography while I was hacking his computer. And he turned out to be someone of relative importance so . . . yeah. Kept a pretty low profile after that whole kerfuffle. Heh, 'kerfuffle' . . . that's such a funny word."
26.What are your plans for the future?
"You mean, if this whole 'becoming the heir of a S.A. Electronics' doesn't pan out? Start my own business and work form the ground up."
27.Political preferences?
"None, politics are stupid and a waste of my time."
28.What do you keep in your cupboards?
"A variety of snacks foods, both healthy and not so healthy, a little bit of, uh, 'hazy enlightenment' for when I'm in the need of a little pick me up, and batteries. A ton of batteries."
29Any favorite outfits or pieces of clothing?
"His Uta costume is a favorite to wear on warm days, or when he feels the need to look extremely strange to people. He sometimes gets into character to.
30.What do you keep in remote storage?
"Doesn't have any, though if he did, he'd probably put some extra hardware there, like old computers and laptops and the like.
31.Are you a night owl, or a morning person?
"I. AM. THE NIGHT!!!! Seriously though, I have no real preference, but I tend to feel like crap in the mornings because I'm online doing who knows what until ungodly hours of morning. I've got back on that recently, but the feeling sometime props up from time to time."
1. How many shoes do you own, and what kind?
"Wow, first question and I already feel like this is full of bullshit. God, why do I have to do this. . . *ugh*, I have two pairs or so, I think, and they're just some sneakers. Nike, maybe? *sigh*This is so dumb. . .

"One tongue piercing, 3 brow piercings, and I'm planning on doing an arm tattoo in the near future."
21.What's your handwriting like?
"It's legible, not the neatest script you'll ever see, but it gets me by. Hardly ever write that much though, I'm a typing man myself."
22.Religious Background?
"Mom's a Christian, Dad's a Christian, Sister's a Christian, and I'm a Christian. Not the most devout of families, but I believe in the values."
23.Where do you like to shop?
"Gamestop, Steam, various Online places, and . . . that's it."
24.What's your relationship with your sibling(s)?
"Resent her ever so slightly for pushing a certain . . burden on to me cause of her own stubborness, but over all, pretty good. She kinda reminds me of Brooke a bit with her attitude, only she's more of an Alpha bitch. Seriously, you don't want to fuck with her, or you'll be eating your own genitals."
25.Do you have enemies? if so, why?
No real enemies, except for one guy that I accidentally got put in jail due to me finding his stash of child pornography while I was hacking his computer. And he turned out to be someone of relative importance so . . . yeah. Kept a pretty low profile after that whole kerfuffle. Heh, 'kerfuffle' . . . that's such a funny word."
26.What are your plans for the future?
"You mean, if this whole 'becoming the heir of a S.A. Electronics' doesn't pan out? Start my own business and work form the ground up."
27.Political preferences?
"None, politics are stupid and a waste of my time."
28.What do you keep in your cupboards?
"A variety of snacks foods, both healthy and not so healthy, a little bit of, uh, 'hazy enlightenment' for when I'm in the need of a little pick me up, and batteries. A ton of batteries."
29Any favorite outfits or pieces of clothing?
"His Uta costume is a favorite to wear on warm days, or when he feels the need to look extremely strange to people. He sometimes gets into character to.
30.What do you keep in remote storage?
"Doesn't have any, though if he did, he'd probably put some extra hardware there, like old computers and laptops and the like.
31.Are you a night owl, or a morning person?
"I. AM. THE NIGHT!!!! Seriously though, I have no real preference, but I tend to feel like crap in the mornings because I'm online doing who knows what until ungodly hours of morning. I've got back on that recently, but the feeling sometime props up from time to time."

Appearance
Standing at a petite 5'2", Amanda is a half-American, half-Japanese girl with styled shoulder-length brown hair. She has a bad habit of running her fingers through her hair, especially if she's talking with someone. She tends to use a variety of make up, but doesn't go overboard, limiting herself to blushes, eyeliner, and lipstick. Her eyes are hazel colored and her lips are often pink and glossy. She likes to engage in nail art. From time-to-time, she likes to wear head accessories, bows and ribbons being a personal favorite of hers.
When it comes to her fashion sense, it's pastel colors all the way. Preferring a more comfortable style of clothing, she likes sweaters and graphic tees, skirts and boots are nice for her too. Her posture says a lot about her, she constantly twiddles her thumbs, avoids eye contact, and often holds her hands together, as if she was asking for forgiveness.

Personality
One thing you should know about Amanda, is that she has low self-esteem. So low it might as well reside in the core of the Earth itself.
...Maybe that was a bit too much. Based on her upbringing, she never had much interaction with the outside world, with her social skills being severely limited. Her parents constantly reminded her that she needs to be perfect in order to properly function in the world, this left a mark on Amanda, her conscious constantly reminding her that she'll never be perfect, not with the way she is right now. To this day, it haunts her in her dreams, rendering her almost unable to sleep at night.
The feeling of being alone is something Amanda loathes, she yearns for social interaction with her peers, but feels she is not up to their standards, repeatedly belittling herself for her it. In the times that she actually does manage to strike up a conversation, she stutters on her words, awkwardly pauses and asks if people hate her because of it.
Despite her bashful demeanor, underneath that soft silk shell is a kind and caring person who truly wishes the best for her peers, and especially for the people she deems as friends. She won't hesitate to step in and intrude if she ever sees her companions in peril, be it a scuffle or an emotional problem, you can bet that she has your back, assuming you have hers of course. It'll take some time to have her come out of her shell, but deep inside, Amanda is a cheerful and compassionate friend who just really wants the best for her friends...Assuming she ever gathers the courage to find one or two.

History
Amanda was always known to be a gifted kid, talented in so many things. Her family would constantly boast about her upbringing, which made her uncomfortable to say the least. Her parents worked 24/7, with shifts so long that they barely had any time to properly spend time with her. She remembers the days where she would stay up late at night constantly waiting for her parents to return, only to find them haggard and practically on the brink of exhaustion. Even in the mornings when she woke up she'd find her mother on the phone and her father tapping away in his laptop. There was barely an opening for her to actually know her parents better, even when they would sugarcoat their words, she knew that they were basically brushing her off.
The only comfort Amanda had were her stuffed toys that her parents would buy for her on numerous occasions. She'd have tea parties with them, converse with them as if they were real, they were the closest things she could ever call 'friends'. One of these friends that she'd never forget is a stuffed bear named Theodore, the very first stuffed toy that her mother had bought of her, she became so attached to the bear, that she refuses to throw it out, even when it's past its prime and she's already seventeen. This seclusion went for a while, when her parents noticed that she refused to come out of her room, they decided that now was the time to take measures. When they entered her room they just saw a plethora of her toys sprawled on the ground, Amanda sitting in the corner of her room clutching Theodore to an almost eerie degree. When she saw her parents she just cried, everything after that was a blur.
She didn't know what happened afterwards, but what she does know is that her parents decided to do enroll her in some sort of prestigious school. Amanda didn't have a say in it, and no matter how she pleaded, her parents wouldn't change her mind. And thus, she was plunged into a world outside of her own comfort zone. What the future awaits for this girl is all up to fate.

Favorite memory
Those fantastic moments with her toys, she'd never forget the time Angela rabbit actually invited her to a tea party! Or maybe that was Petunia butterfly...She forgot.
Least favorite memory
Pretty much every time her parents weren't around. And even if they were, they were far from being pleasant memories.
What corporation sent you to Ashbury?
Hara-Jyu-NKyu Imports is a fashion company that focuses on the colorful, sparkly, and cute (Sometimes gaudy and eccentric) fashion for girls, by girls! Their main store is located in Akihabara, Tokyo ironically, but they did recently open a store in Harajuku, and has been their most popular store ever since, hence their namesake.
Amanda's mother happens to be a close friend of one of the owners, Harumi Nakajima and she brought up the prospect of Amanda's current problem.
While she was reluctant, seeing the array of issues that seem to be stemming from the girl, she decided to give her a chance. Harumi and Amanda's mother decided that this was probably the best thing they could do at the moment, even without Amanda's consent.

Amanda Hirano
"I have a lot of wishes, but for now I just want one simple thing...I wish for friends, friends who don't hate me, friends who will be happy to be called as my friends. I-I'm sorry, was that too corny?! I killed the mood, didn't I?"
Brooke Avery
"She...She scares me, she looks so intimidating. There's no way I could talk to someone like her..."
Pairing these two wouldn't be the brightest of things to do. Amanda's first instinct when around her would be to avoid contact and just stay silent. She can't exactly understand how someone can indefinitely hate everything around them, but she's willing to listen to her reasons, assuming she can actually approach Brooke without getting scared.
Henry "Hal" Polwith
"He looks like a very nice person, I wish I had his confidence.
The two could actually make for a stable friendship, as Amanda is filled with a sense of happiness and ease around him, even if some of his jokes aren't all that funny, she laughs at them anyway.
Spencer Dalle
"Surely he can't be all that bad, right? Maybe all he needs is a hug...Uhm, if he wants to...He probably doesn't...I-I should go away now..."
Amanda honestly believes that Spencer is just misunderstood, she'd be willing to spend time with him if he'd be okay with it. Other than that, they seem distant...Not exactly friends, acquaintances would be more like it.
Maie-Marie Malveaux
"She's like that big sister I never had...I don't want to be a burden to her.
The two would make for good friends, Amanda could spend hours talking to Maie about her problems but feels she really should lessen her martyrdom from time to time.
Laney Kaire Chandler
"She looks really nice. M-Maybe we can even become friends! ...That'll never happen."
Amanda would most likely look up to Laney as if she was some sort of role model for girls. She really hopes they can become friends as she feels Laney could help her build her confidence. Amanda would probably ask if she can borrow some of Laney's clothes/accessories, or at least try them on.
Korrigan Alexander Jackson
"He's like those characters you see in anime, I wouldn't mind getting to know him better. If he wants to...
Truth be told, Amanda is actually scared with how Korrigan can easily manipulate one's account. She feels a sense of bonhomie around him, despite his mischievous tendencies. She'd be willing to play a round of games or two with him, assuming it's not an FPS.
Nathan Duncan Matthews
"There's something about him...He looks kind of cute, his smile is a bit infectious too..."
Connor Molson McQuarrie
"He's...certainly loud isn't he? I wish he could be more sensitive..."
Brenden Micah Rivers
"I...I honestly don't know what to say. I hope he's not mad at me for doing so, he probably is..."
Erin Riley Emerson
"She seems kind of rough, but I can't help but feel she's hiding something..."
Amanda and Erin don't seem like they'd fit like two peas in a pod, but she'd be mostly welcoming of Riley's personality, but would tell her that there's more to life than being tough. They'd totally exchange friend codes or visit each other's towns in Animal Crossing though.

6. What are their biggest fears?
"Mirrors...J-Just...Mirrors! Anything but
that...They remind me how much of an i-imperfect daughter I am...How much of a big failure I am to my parents! It hurts...It hurts...Whenever I look at my own reflection, I just want to rip out every hair on my head and shriek..."

7. How much money do they make?
"Mmm...I'm not sure, I'll have to ask mother...Whenever she has the time that is...Which is never."

"Not that I know of...I-I think..."
10. What did they dress as for Halloween last year?
"U-Uhm...I'm too old to be d-dressing up for Halloween...B-But I remember dressing up as a witch when I was young...There was one time where I dressed up as a Yuki-Onna, b-but people just thought I was wearing a kimono for show..."
11. What are their email addresses, blogs, and websites? Passwords?
"I-I don't really own a website, a-and my email and passwords are something I'd like to keep t-to myself...L-Like I said, I...I used to have a tumblr, but it's pretty much abandoned by now...I might revive it one day..."
12. What are they superstitious about?
"Mother u-used to tell me so many things back when w-we were in Japan...How I shouldn't rest after eating, not to play with fire, don't kill spiders in the morning, don't pass food using chopsticks...The list goes on...I...I could go on about this..."
13. Are they allergic to anything?
"Nothing in particular...I really hope I don't have an allergy to cute animals..."
14. What hobbies do they have?
"I like to engage in nail art...I used to knit, but it's been so long I've practically forgotten how to do it...Whenever I try to, I end up pricking myself, even with a thimble..."
15. Do they keep secrets?
"O-Of course I do! W...W-Who doesn't? I don't tell my secrets to ANYONE...E-Except maybe Theodore, truly he is the only person I trust...I hope he doesn't spread rumors..."
16. What are their astrological signs?
"Cancer, n-nothing more than that..."
17. What are their taste in movies, books, and music?
"Well...I like Fantasy as a whole, especially in my books...Ah, that reminds me...I should buy some more books soon...A few young adult novels wouldn't hurt, or two. I don't really like Horror stuff, e-especially all the gory and bloody stuff! They make me sick...Saw and Final Destination come to mind...Awful...Animated films are nice, especially Disney/Pixar films! Inside Out was really sad...
Music? Well...I-I'd be lying if I said I didn't listen to J-Pop...Kyary's stuff comes into mind...つけまつける is one my favorites. Rhythm game songs sound nice too...T-The ones in pop'n music have some of my favorite songs. Other than that...I guess whatever's popular at the time? Not really a fan of Rock or Rap...Too loud, t-too crude...Classical music is nice to listen to, I like Chopin's compositions...his Revolutionary Etude is a personal favorite of mine."

18. Do they have scars?
"...Internal or External? B-Because I'm pretty sure I have lots inside..."
19. What are their feelings on gay marriage, abortion, legalization of marijuana, or other controversial topics?
"I-I think there's nothing wrong with Gay marriage...or t-the LGBTQ+ community as a whole...It...It's kind of sad h-how they keep on being treated so lowly...I wish people could learn to love each other more. Abortion? W...Well, I guess it depends? I mean, if I was a rape victim and found out I had a baby, I'd really consider it, but then again...Taking away lives, especially children is an atrocity...M...Marijuana?! Ehh...Ahh...No thank you..."
20. Any tattoos or piercings?
"I...I wouldn't dream of it!"
21. What does their handwriting look like?
"Hmm...M-My classmates keep on s...saying it looks flowery and...a-and elegant...Me? I think it looks terrible...J-Just like every fiber in my body..."
22. What is their religious background?
"Erm...I'm not really religious to begin with...M-Maybe it's one of the reasons why my parents hate me..."
23. Where do they like to shop?
"Well...I prefer shopping online...A-Although I do go out every now and then j-just to see what's in stock, brands? I don't really have any preference...Anything will do, really!"
24. What is their relationship like with their sibling(s)?
"I...Don't really have any...Well, I remember my cousins visiting one time when I was a kid...I-It was okay I guess. We had a lot of fun playing house and having tea parties, I wish I could travel back in time to relive those moments."
25. Do they have enemies? How did they make them?
"I...I really hope not! I c-couldn't live with myself if I did...Uhm, I get the fe...feeling that people hate me already..."
26. What are their ambitions? Do they have a “five-year plan”?
"Plan? Ehh...I-I don't really like planning stuff, it never goes the same way as you expect it to...A-And besides...Why focus on the future when you have the present to live for?"
27. What are their political preferences?
"Uhh...I really think Trump shouldn't win?"
28. What do they habitually keep in their cupboards, medicine cabinets, and purses?
"J-Just the basic stuff in the cabinets...My purse though? Well, I actually prefer a bag...But, I keep my makeup, wallet, cellphone, and headphones, just the usual necessities. N-Nothing interesting."
29. What are their favorite outfits/pieces of clothing?
"Wah! I-I have a lot to choose from...I could go all day about what my closet entails...But, I guess I'll keep it brief...Err, I'll try to. Hmm, how do I start? Well...I really like dresses! Sweet Lolita being one of my weaknesses in the matter...E-Especially if they have animal prints! Sometimes I think that they're too cute to wear! I like buying graphic shirts as well, really love ones that have a design...Although, I g-guess that depends on WHAT design it has...Plain shirts a-are just really bland...I don't like them.
I have this bracelet I wear often, i-it's actually a friendship bracelet one of my friends gave me once...I can't thank that person enough to actually con...consider me as their friend!"

30. What do they keep in remote storage?
"Some of my old friends/stuffed toys...But I'd never dream of locking up Theodore in there! He stays by my side...err, my bedside table that is. I have a few dusty costumes in there, maybe a mannequin or two when I was still aiming to be a designer, b-but those days have gone by..."
31. Are they night owls or morning people?
"I'm more of a morning person...Nights are nice but I always look forward to the sun...Seeing it shine brightly, it fills my day with determination, almost as if I can do anything if I tried hard enough..."

Name
Nathan Duncan Matthews
Nicknames
Nate, he got it because it's shorter than Nathan... it doesn't bother him. At least it's not as bad as the nickname his sister made up "Than" that he despises!
Age
18
Gender
Male
Sexual Orientation
Bisexual
Grade Level
Senior
Appearance
Nathan stands at quite the average height of 5'11" and ha a stockier build which he likes to keep toned by going on runs and going to the gym. He keeps his dark brown hair short-ish with some length kept up top so he has something to work with, not that he styles it really but sometimes he likes to spend some time on grooming. His face is usually lit up with a radiant smile except for when he is in deep concentration because then it is almost always screwed up with his tongue peeking out from the corner of his mouth. Nathan has a rather round and plump face for someone who is as fit as he is, but his sister always tells him that it suits his aura of kindness, it makes him more approachable according to her.
When it comes to clothing Nathan goes for comfort more than anything in his day to day life, but he owns a few suits and blazers that he uses on occasion. He knows when to dress up and when to bust out the sweats! Usually he dresses in jumpers, t-shits, cardigans and jeans with a matching shoe.

"Dude chill! No wait... probably keep you guard up!"
Personality
Nathan is what you would call a mothers dream. He is tall somewhat handsome and gets good grades. If he still had a mother she would probably be bragging about him to everyone who would listen and Nathan would of course sit red faced and deny every bit of praise shot his way, because such is Nathan humble to the point of delusion of his own worth. He refuses to put him self over anyone else because he believes that his triumphs is solely based on luck and great timing, rather than his hard work and diligence. The one thing he took away from his father was that if you wanted a good life you had to work hard, nothing was ever going to be handed to you. So therefore Nathan almost never slacks of when it comes to work or school which can be to the annoyance of his friends when he says no to the second party in a row.
Kind at heart Nathan will always be the one to listen to your stories good or bad because he is a people person who cares deeply for social interaction and he likes to have a large network of contacts and keep those bonds as strong as possible. He is to his own fault sometimes to trusting though as he likes to see the best in everyone even if they clearly doesn't have his best interest at heart and he has been let down because of this a lot of times. Though he feels like an positive outlook on life is what creates a great one and he will stick to that until the day he dies.
He has a kindness to him which makes him extremely approachable and that might be why he always gives a cheery "Hello!" at you when you pass him in the hall. Though his cheery exterior is somewhat hard to crack since he keeps his chewy personal center mostly to himself, only his closest friends know about his family situation and he likes to keep it that way.
Nathan always wanting to always make the right choice not only by him but for the people around him makes him very indecisive and that often results in him missing out on things that could better his future or others. This is a trait he is trying to shake of by being more care free and take risks, but even in this he is unsure of what this is and when to be care free. He is an notorious over-thinker and will focus on one small aspect and obsess over it until it's fixed or vanishes somehow.
He is also quite rancorous, if someone had been mean to him or otherwise done something that he does not agree with, he will hold it against that person until he is proven wrong. He can be a loyal friend but he can also drop you without a backwards glance if you piss him off enough.

He is an notorious over-thinker and will focus on one small aspect and obsess over it until it's fixed or vanishes somehow.
He is also quite rancorous, if someone had been mean to him or otherwise done something that he does not agree with, he will hold it against that person until he is proven wrong. He can be a loyal friend but he can also drop you without a backwards glance if you piss him off enough.

History
Nathan was born in to the middle class family of Liam and Molly Matthews and had a normal childhood and even had the great pleasure to have a cute baby sister enter his life. So he and his sister Addison had the start of a quite normal and happy childhood until tragedy happened when he was six, his mother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer at a routine check up. And though she put up a good fight for a couple of months she eventually succumbed to the demon growing inside of her and she passed away. Naturally the family was broken down in despair Molly Matthews was the guiding light for so many people and mostly so for Nathan's father Liam who took the death of his darling wife so hard he went in to a depression so deep that he was not recognizable, he lost his job as an high school psychology teacher and subsequently loss the house in which they had been living in, which meant they had to move in with Nathan's grandparents.
His father never really recovered from his wife's death and spent most of the day lying in bed being unreachable and while Nathan would never go as far as to say that it was neglect, he can not say that his father raised him. That lot fell on his loving grandparents. But as time wore on his grandparents grew weary of Liam's behavior and eventually made him go back to his teachers job, which meant they had to move away to the prestigious school that had graciously hired his father.
With his father working all the time now to provide for them Nathan now had to take care of not only himself but also for his sister Addison, and why he would never say that this was a bother to him. He was robbed of his childhood as he had to grow up far to early than a normal boy should have to. Now in his late teens he is very protective of his sister and will go through anything to aid her in what ever she asks of. But his relationship with his father is forever tarnished and Nathan can't see a way that this could be mended.

Favorite memory
Watching Saturday morning cartoons with his sister in his lap and his mother behind him stroking his hair.
Least favorite memory
Long days spent at their neighbors Mrs. Dilly in her cabbage smelling apartment watching old black and white movies while his father was at work.
What corporation sent you to Ashbury?
Matthews & Spearling publishing is the publishing house that his grandfather co-founded and he would like to keep it in the family. But since his own son probably never will be in the shape to take over the company Mr. Matthews Sr. has put all his money on his grandson. He has noticed that Nathan has a great interest in literature and writing, which he took as a sign to make sure he was to become his predecessor.
So to sharpen Nathan in the departments that he needs to run a large company and to give him the skill sets to succeed at the job, Nathan was sent to Ashbury by his grandfather.

"You know, I think this will be an awesome day!"
Nathan hurried up the stairs of the main building and stopped in front of the door in to the computer hall. He opened the door slowly and poked his head in and potted the editor of the yearbook waving at him from a computer in the far left corner. Nathan smiled and walked over to her.
"So, why did you want to see me Martha?" Nathan asked with a puzzled look on his face but smiling as he sat down. "Oh I just want to get like a general idea of what people think about each other at this school you know!" he raised his eyebrows at her answer "But..." he started "Yes! I know it's weird but I'm trying a different angle this year, I just have questions about people I've seen you hang around and such..." Martha said in an indifferent tone. This wasn't that surprising since Martha Banks was notorious for knowing everything about everyone, though he was skeptical to whether her idea was going to be passed by the school board or not but he decided to go along with it anyway "Ok shoot!" Nathan said to her with a wide grin.
Brooke Avery
“Aah Brooke. D’you know the first thing she said to me when we met? “I hate the color green” While staring at my green tie. I couldn’t do anything else but laugh could I? People might think that I and Brooke are the strangest couple of friends at Ashbury, she hating everything and me liking just about everything, and they would be right at first glance. Brooke insults me at every chance she gets, which is often but I can’t help it I just finds her adorably funny and I don’t really care what she says because I can see the smirk hidden beneath the scowl. You could say I killed Brooke with kindness… or… well at least wore her down, and I am now proud to call myself one of Brooke’s friends!”
Laney Kaire Chandler
“Uhm Laney and I aren’t friends per se though I’d like to change that. I mean I think she at least knows who I am; god knows I know who she is. W-w-well because we’re in a lot of the same classes! Hah! It’s not like I’m stalking her, let’s just call them happy coincidences. Or better yet let’s change the subject! Point is, yes I know of Laney and I think she is nice and she seems like she got her stuff together and that is good, y’know? Can we maybe strike this one out?”
Hal Polwith
“Henry! Yeah that kid is awesome. It’s not often you see him without a smile and I love that, plus his dedication to the swim team also known as “The Bro Squad” is just remarkable! We mostly know each other through Connor and we hang out from time to time but not as much as I would like! But If I’m not mistaken Connor said he refused to go to the next rager without his two main “Broskis” and I mean I don’t think I can turn down another party invite from Connor. So hopefully We can all get along!”
Maie-Marie Malveaux
“So we hang out with a lot of the same people right, one would think she would know me by now. But I find myself introducing myself to her every time we meet. I find it quite endearing actually, I guess fault lies with me I must not be making a strong enough impression on her! I might have to change that!”
Korrigan Alexander Jackson
“That’s the guy who looks like a walking hot topic right? No wait that was mean, it’s just that he wears that stuff to make some kind of statement I guess? But what is that statement? Also I heard from a reasonably good source that he is like a super hacker or something, rumor has it that he brought down a major corporation from the inside when it leaked that the company used child labor! That’s wicked if it’s true, like a modern day vigilante! I wouldn’t want to be on the receiving end of his skills… which is why I’d appreciate if the hot topic comment stayed between us!”
Spencer Dalle
“I mean I’m not saying he should be hunted down and hung or something but someone should say something to him to make him shut up! I like to see the best in every one but Spencer is just… mean for a lack of a better work, just plain mean. Every time I even so much as try to speak to him in a pleasant tone he just gives me a look of disgust and tells me people like me make’s him sick and leaves. And even I have my limits and some people are just too far gone that even the nicest people can’t bring them back.”
Amanda Hirano
“ひらのさん！はい私のともだちだよ！Heh, Sorry I studied Japanese last semester and Amanda helped me a great deal. She always did it without so much as a sigh at my somewhat poor pronunciation! Don’t even get me started on the particles it took us forever to get through that chapter! I just feel like she’s nervous around me for some reason. I like to think of her as a surrogate little sister and hopefully she thinks of me as a brotherly figure!”
Connor MacQuarrie
“I don’t even know what to say really. My life would be vastly different without Connor in it, I think he helps me to be a better person and I like to think that I help him be one too. He’s the one who gets my but in to that gym every morning and also makes me do the actual exercises! You should see the training schedule he has written for me; it’s intense to say the least. It’s also fascinating that someone that large can be that fast in the pool. Though if I ever had to say something that bothers me sometimes is his way he talks about “smashing” girls left and right, it’s like I get it you hard and all but… dude… come on. But in short I love the big bear of a guy I always have and I always will!”
Brenden Rivers
“All I’m going to say is, putting people down and putting yourself on some deluded pedestal is something that just grosses me out! No matter how many times Brenden says “It’s just a joke!” it doesn’t change anything, the remarks still hurt people, and he knows it which makes it even worse! I will say this though, the boy has perfect hair it’s always like perfectly quaffed. I find myself staring at it in class sometimes. I know he can be nice at times and I do like to talk to him when he isn’t making snide remarks about people.”
Riley Emerson
“I couldn’t tell you much about her, she seems to avoid me in the halls for some reason. But I do know that she has a foul mouth that could rival Connor’s and that is a great feat for anyone girl or boy!”
Emilie Delacour
“I love the way she says my name “Nah-tahn”, accents are the best and French is a language that intrigues me on some level! I haven’t really hung out with Emilie for some time but when we do laughter is not far away so it never really does matter that we don’t see much of each other because every time we meet up it’s like no time has passed. But I will make an effort to hang out more, maybe she would like to go for a coffee or something!”
Aspen Hancock
“Me and Asp actually go way back, we met at one of the magazines my grandpa publishes release parties a couple of years ago and we got to talking about the photography in the magazine and how good it was and as it were it was Aspen who had shot it. We have a mutual interest in the medium and he actually shot my favorite picture of my sister the last time she came and visited.”
Nathan blinked up at Martha "So is that all you wanted from me?" He began to rise from his seat. "No no, we haven't gotten to you yet have we?" Martha smiled up at him and motioned a hand for Nathan to regain his seat. He let out a small chuckle and sat down, This yearbook i intense this year! He thought and sat back down. "So what do you want to know Martha?" She dived down in to her bag and retrieved a piece of paper "I've compiled a few questions, 31 to be exact which I think will be interesting for the yearbook!" Nathan took the paper that she handed to him and scanned it.

Appearance
Connor is a pretty big guy, around 6’2’’ and about 200 lbs. He has dirty blonde hair that gets darker in the winter, and he likes to keep it short. He’s spent a lot of time working on his body and is proud of the results, maybe a little too proud. His eyes are blue-gray, though they look a little different depending on what he’s wearing. He doesn't worry too much about what he's wearing; usually jeans and a well fitted tshirt, though he does have a few suits and an excellent tie collection, if you can coax him into wearing them. The only aspect of his appearance he spends any time on - aside from his physique - is his hair; it takes a lot of work to make it look like he doesn't put any effort into it.
"I just want to make gains and play games"
Personality
It’s hard being a diplomat’s kid, but Connor has adapted well to the lifestyle. Moving around so much meant he got to be very good at making new friends, though not so great at keeping them. He’s very social and a little on the loud side; some would call him boisterous or unruly, but a few minutes in his company will show that he’s a very kindhearted person. Some might dismiss him as a brainless jock or an arrogant bro, but they would be wrong.
Connor doesn’t exactly crave attention, but he certainly doesn’t mind it and his antics tend to draw plenty of attention. He’s not exactly the class clown, but he has a very exagerated public persona. His speech is laden with little jokes and references and a lot of random and seemingly nonsensical slang, though he adopts a more serious tone in classes or in personal settings. He easily makes friends across all social levels, and has a tendency to assign people arbitrary nicknames. Connor has little patience for pretentious or arrogant people, and even less patience for bullies. He has a tendency to be blunt, which can get him in trouble sometimes.
While he is an honest and loyal guy, Connor has trouble forming close, lasting relationships. Connor is also fairly vain and maybe a little more self-centered than he thinks. Connor is not very good with numbers, and he likes to party a little too much. Those factors combined caused him to fail a year earlier in his highschool career. Connor also struggles with properly expressing his emotions.
Connor’s most visible flaw is that he’s inconsiderate. He doesn’t think much about how his actions or words might affect other people, and assumes that if he’s fine with something, others should be as well. Connor can be completely oblivious to other people's personal space with a tendency to initiate unsolicited physical contact. He unfortunately doesn’t know where to draw the line; for Connor, there is no such thing as “too soon”. This has caused no small amount of problems for him over the years.

History
Connor’s father, David MacQuarrie, grew up on a small farm in Idaho. David’s parents were desperately poor, but they did their best to give David an education. David went to a local agricultural college, planning to take over the farm from his father, but his parents were both killed in a car accident less than a year after he graduated. David knew they’d always wanted the best for him, so he sold the farm and against all odds, got into Cornell, where he first studied life sciences before completing an MBA. David began working in Washington as a political aide, then joined the foreign service. It was on his first posting to Ottawa that he met Connor’s mother, Victoria Molson
Victoria’s childhood was the complete opposite of David’s. As a Molson, she was born into Montreal’s most elite social circle and grew up phenomenally wealthy. She attended all the best schools, and was presumably going to marry some rich peer of hers amongst Montreal’s elite. She was working in Ottawa as a political staffer-to secure connections and influence, not because she needed work-when she met David at a reception at the American embassy. The two fell in love and eventually got married, and Victoria left her native Canada to travel the world with David. Naturally, she still has access to all her wealth.
Connor is a hybrid of his two parent’s worlds, which can be difficult. When Connor was growing up, his father tried to impress on him the value of money and hard work, but his family’s wealth deprived Connor of any real understanding of the concept. Even when David became an ambassador, he still scrimped and saved, and prefered doing work around the house himself. On the other hand, Victoria believed in the importance of social class and paying for quality service. Every summer she’d take a charter jet back to Canada with her son and spend the summer at her family’s lakeside estate, while Connor’s dad would fly economy class to join them for a few weeks. The “cottage” was a permanent fixture of Connor’s childhood, and he retains good memories and close friendships from his time up there.
His father was always insisting Connor get a job as soon as possible, while mom thought it would ruin their image if he were to ever set foot in a fast food joint. The result is that Connor is very conflicted about his background; he’s aware of his status and the importance of maintaining that appearance, but he also feels guilty for having an easy life. He knows he’s supposed to appreciate the value of money and hard work, but he has no concept of what real hard work is.
Connor’s father was recently appointed Ambassador to Spain, and while Connor usually went with his parents on postings, they decided his grandfather’s suggestion of Ashbury would give Connor some much needed stability.

What corporation sent you to Ashbury?
The Molson brewing company, the parent company of a dozen beer brands around the world. Connor’s grandfather, the current chair of the board, likes to keep the company in the family, and arranged to send Connor to Ashbury so he can eventually join his uncle and cousin in running the company.

Connor McQuarrie
"That was real tight butthole"
Brooke Avery
"Brock’s legit, she don’t give a fuck bout what fools think, so respect there. Otherwise, in the immortal words of Kendrick Lamar; bitch don’t kill my vibe. Very smashable tho."
Connor likes people who are honest or blunt, but Brooke’s constant negativity really wears him out, so he doesn’t spend much time around her. Their rather distant relationship hasn’t kept him from developing a nickname for her though.
Laney Chandler
”LAHNAY! I swear to jeebus she’s right out of Age of Innocence, she even looks like Michelle Pfieffer, who by the way remains the hottest Catwoman, Anne Hathaway don’t got SHIT. She’s good times.”
Calling her either lah-nay, Michelle Pfieffer, or Catwoman, Connor and Laney have a very pleasant - though somewhat superficial - relationship. She’s nice and honest, qualities Connor appreciates. If there’s more to her, Connor either hasn’t noticed or doesn’t care.
Henry Polwith
”Hal 9000: Aesthetic. Doges. Swamming. History. Reading is radical. We’ve got some serious hivemind going on, I’d swing at fools in a second for him.”
Probably Connor's closest friend at Ashbury, Connor and Hal spend a lot of time around eachother. At the gym, in the pool, talking sports, out for hikes, or pestering someone to help them with math homework, Connor cherishes Hal's company. The two of them spend a lot of time thinking of ways they could illicitly keep a in the dorms...
Maie-Marie Malveaux
“M&M aka M&M&M aka Cardio Bunny appreciates fitness and thusly I appreciate the shit out of her. She got no time for fools, all the time for friends, and I will dunk on haters who talk shit about her I GORANTEE IT. Plus she’s got unlimited amounts of Jam! Turbo aka water of life.”
Connor and Marie are at their best when doing something physical and high energy together, but putting them in the same class is a guaranteed disaster, something the school's administration was quick to notice. Their exuberant personalities bounce off eachother in something reminiscent of a nuclear fission reaction; a party with the two of them in the same room is destined to get too wild, especially if they're downing Jam! drinks (which they constantly are).
Spencer Dalle
”That kid’s sneaky like snakes. Shits on everyone who’s nice to him, thinks he’s better than everyone else, grade A douchecanoe. Not tight butthole, not tight at all.”
Connor doesn’t go out of his way to be hostile to Spencer, but he makes no secret of his feelings. The two do not get along at all.
Korrigan Jackson
”Korrigan Hackson, member of the PCMasterRace, giver of zero fucks, master of CS:GO. May K/D ratio be high and your lag low, amen”
Connor and Korrie spend a lot of time gaming together online, but almost no time together in real life. Connor tends to tease Korrie about his hair alot; he thinks he’s doing it in a friendly way, but is perhaps a little blind to Korrie’s feelings about it.
Amanda Hirano
”One quiet biddy, don’t really know her too well. She’s tiny, but very fine, would tenderly romance/10, anything else would split her in half amirite?”
A hurricane doesn’t bear any ill will towards a beach house. The hurricane might even like the beach house. That doesn’t change the fact that the hurricane will likely flatten the beach house. Connor’s loud, exuberant personality is completely at odds with Amanda’s quieter demeanor, making any kind of friendship all but impossible.
Nathan Matthews
”Nate’s great. Great gym buddy. Great friend. He’s good to people, you know? I don’t have a nickname for him, nothing really hit me when I met him and, much like buttex, you can’t force it. He needs to relax more tho.
Both extroverted, amiable people, Nate and Connor quickly became friends. They can regularly be found at the gym together, and when Connor does get around to studying - so not very often - he does so with Nate. Connor often pesters Nate to come to parties with him, and his apparent disregard for his academics can be a source of friction between the two of them.
Brenden Rivers

Connor thinks Brenden is duplicitous and mean, traits he has exactly zero tolerance for. He avoids Brenden as much as possible.
Emilie Delacour
"OH LAWDY, would smash with the fury of a thousand burning suns/10. The other day she spilled a glass of water on her shirt and I nearly fainted from blood loss, if you know what I mean."
Friendly but not close, Connor tends to flirt outrageously with Emilie. Both of them are high energy and fun loving; it's not a party until the two of them are there.
Erin Emerson
"Remerson's pretty chill, she's got balls of steel though and she likes football, so dats cool. Pretty high strung though, she needs to go on a vision quest."
Connor thinks of Riley as "one of the guys", though they don't spend all that much time together. His inappropriate sense of humour sometimes causes conflict between the two of them.
Aspen Hancock
"#Aesthetic. We ride together we die together we dunk on fools together, bro squad 4 loife."
Initially drawn together by Hal and the swim team, Connor and Aspen have become good friends in their own right. Aspen definitely falls into Connor's preferred category of genuinely nice people. Aspen's easygoing nature makes him well suited to taking Connor's exuberance in stride.

BRENDEN RIVERS
”What makes you think I would fall for you? I mean, you have looked at me, haven’t you?”
-Brenden Rivers
Brenden
Brenden Micah Rivers
Nicknames
His older sister used to call him Bren, although he doesn’t like that much anymore.
Age
18
Gender
Male
Sexual Orientation
Homosexual
Grade Level
Senior
Appearance
Brenden stands at about 6’0, making him slightly taller than average. He is more lean than overly muscular. His deep, brown eyes are usually don’t give away much about his personality. He holds himself rather well and has excellent posture. His hair is styled religiously almost every morning. The only time you’ll find him with it unstyled is when he’s terribly sick. That also happens to be the only time you’ll find him not dressed up. One thing that remains constant about Brenden is that he likes dressing well. It is rare to see him in less than a button up and tie. He takes great pride in how he looks.
Brenden prefers to keep his face kind of scruffy. It makes him look older than he actually is. While he usually wears contacts, he does wear glasses at time, which make him look younger as well.

"A sweet personality and a cute smile won’t get you to the top. I suppose you can try though."
Personality
Brenden is, in short, an ass.
Well, maybe it’s a little bit more complicated than that. He has an air of carefully constructed overconfidence about himself. He acts like he’s better than everyone else, exuding a cool charm mixed with layers of wit. His charisma can kill most anyone who hasn’t spent a decent amount of time around him, and he knows how to use that to his advantage. He knows when to be personable and knows when it’s okay to be a jerk. Talking to people is something he has learned to be good at. His barriers are akin to that of steel doors that only he has the key to. This makes him excellent at getting information from other people and not giving them information about himself. He also falls on the flirty side, although is almost never serious about the people he flirts with.
Despite all of this, he is rather well mannered and polite. His scathing remarks tend to bite even more because of this. It would be an understatement to say that he knows how to work his way around a social circle. Think of him as that guy you know is a jerk, but somehow still manages to be charming despite that.
Underneath that, Brenden prefers to be reserved. He has learned to accept his facade, despite how uncomfortable it makes him at times. Good manners and a sweet smile are almost never enough to climb the social ladder after all. He is loyal to a fault, which partially explains why he is so intent on pleasing his parents by completing tasks they never assigned him. If someone could manage to get past the walls he’d built they’d discover a young man who cries at almost everything he reads or watches and has a weakness for cute animals. It might be hard to believe, but he’s rather sweet under the cold shell he’s built for himself.
Brenden is also an insomniac, something that he does his best to hide. The right kind of makeup will hide the worst of it, although there are days when it is more obvious than not.

History
Brenden is the son of the CEO of one of the top grossing pharmaceutical companies in the US, David Rivers, and his wife, a retired European model Adeline Rivers. He also has an older sister, Michelle. His family life at an early age was more existent than one would think. His father wasn’t around as much as he would have liked, but made an effort to come home when he could. His mother made every effort possible to fill the gaps that came from their father not being around. He brushed elbows with important people all the time, in both the business world and the social. His mother still maintained many of the connections she had when she was younger. He had grown up in the lap of luxury. Life was fine, until the summer before his 15th birthday.
Over the next few months, his older sister would abandon his family without a word and he would discover he was the illegitimate son of a poet his mother had fallen for while his father had been spending more time at work than necessary. This would instill a change in Brenden, warping his personality from a sweet, quiet child to an arrogant asshole hell bent on being better than everyone at everything. Or at least, that was what he made happen. Much of this was learned from the crowd his parents spent their time around. They were both high ranking members of society, and being the perceptive boy he was, Brenden gathered a good deal from the people they spent their time with. Both of his parents realized this change, but never did anything about it.
Inside, he knew why he had changed so suddenly and so drastically. He had to compensate for the gap that his sister had left and prove to some irrational part of himself that he was still part of this family. It was also a way for him to deal with the sadness left by his sister, one of his closest friends, disappearing completely from his life. He brushed his own dreams to the side, instead choosing to pursue the ones his parents had laid out for his sister. Prior to this, he’d always wanted to be an author. He still writes short stories on the internet under a pen name, and has gotten quite a bit of popularity from it. He’s adopted this persona ever since.

Favorite memory
The family took a trip to Paris when Brenden was about 10. He and his sister got hopelessly lost, but after the initial shock had quite a fun time running around by themselves. The after scolding they got from their parents afterwards was kind of a downer.
Least favorite memory
The first few days after his sister left.

Pheonix Pharmaceuticals
One of the top grossing pharmaceuticals in the US yearly. The CEO is Brenden’s father, David Rivers. Although the decision was not forced upon him by any means. He elected to go of his own free will. His parents were more than happy to see their son follow in his father’s footsteps, even if they suspected something was up with his actions.

Appearance
Angular and delicate, Claire is a bright sparkly girl that can often be seen with a smile on her face. Posessing a heart-shaped face with a button nose and a set of beautiful almond shaped eyes. Her eyes, which are by far her most striking feature are a gorgeous shade of ash grey and her thin lips, which accentuates her small mouth a healthy pink. They rest easily on her face, supple and intuitive, ready to spread into a smile at a moment's notice. Her ivory complexion is fair, with subtle golden undertones. Her hair is a lovely shade of honey blonde extending down to her shoulders. Her body is lithe and flexible yet still managing to possess a decent amount of curves. Having moved from France not more than five years ago, she still speaks with a recognisable French accent.
Being a big fan of dresses, Emilie can usually be seen dressed in them although she does wear blouses and skirts as well.

"Today was a fun day. Tomorrow will be too."
Personality
With an equally radiant personality to match her exuberant appearance, Emily is an energetic and adventurous individual that is also competitive and passioniate for what she loves and believes in. She always seek to strive for her best, and improving what she already knows. Headstrong and determined, once she sets her mind on something, she will do her best to achieve or complete it. Highly excitable, she tends to get excited over the smallest of things. She is also blunt and cynical, and is often rather judgemental of people which can make her out to be rude-sounding and mean even though she may not necessarily be so.
She has a rather extensive sense of humour and tends to laugh at most jokes, making a couple of her own along the way. A big fan of pranks and pranking people, she is not above carrying out other mischievous acts. Although It may not be easy to earn her trust, she is extremely loyal, and once you have gained her trust and loyalty, she can always be counted on in times of need.
When it comes to romance, Emily is by no means any good in the field. She does more than her fair share of flirting with guys she meets and is a real sucker for romance. She is a big fan of the whole love and affection thing between a couple and will go all out for the person she loves and considers her other half. She is very confident, although sometimes it may be overly so, which may come off as arrogance. Prone to being stubborn and obstinate, she often insists on doing things her way even though she knows that it may not be the fastest or most efficient way. She always seeks company, and likes it most when not alone.

History
Born into a middle class family, Emilie lived in one of the many residential suburbs in Paris. Emilie enjoyed most of her childhood and was well-liked at school, albeit in a different way. She was notorious for causing frequent mischief, but because her grades remained excellent, her teachers tolerated her to a certain extent. The young girl's life then took a surprising turn when she discovered gymnastics for the first time. Passionate in the sport, her parents fully endorsed and supported their only daughter's interests. Shortly after her thirteen birthday, the Delacour got the opportunity to immigrate over to the United States, and they took it. Moving over to California, Emilie settled down there, beginning her new life. While she was initially made fun of because of her French accent, as time passed,people began to get used to her, and Emilie found stability in her life.
She began living her life as usual, but she didn't seem to have the same form of success she had bad in France, it was as if a spark was gone in her. Although she said nothing to her parents, she could feel and sense it and were inherently worried for her. Her father, Michael, a seasoned hiker who would usually go onto weekend hiking trips in the country. It so happened during the particular trip of his, he happened to spot a unconscious injured fellow hiker lying on of the rocks. He appeared to have fallen of or tripped from the cliff several feet up. He couldn't let the guy just remained there. He looked like he was still alive as well. Calling as well as radioing for medical assistance, help soon came. The police came as well, and questioned him on the situation. When everything was done and cleared, he was in no mood to continue and began to head home early. The Delacour family went on with their usual everyday life for a week, before they got a surprise visit from a visitor at the door, one fateful Sunday morning.
The stranger introduced him as Mr. Watson and said he was a manager at Aperture Industries and about one week ago, Mr. Delacour saved their CEO who happened to be injured during a personal hiking trip. The boss himself would like to thank him personally at lunch. His family were invited to join in as well. At a lunch in a rather posh and fancy restaurant, It was there that Emilie met Christopher Strong for the first time. He was a hearty middle-aged man who looked none the worse for wear. It was hard to believe he was in a life-threatening accident no less than a week ago. They had their meal while her parents chatted with Mr. Strong. She however remained silent, but spared him some smiles whenever he looked her way. That was the least she felt she could do.
The two of them left, while her father stayed behind, interested in having a further conversation with Mr. Strong. She had no idea what the contents of the conversation were, and her mother refused to say anything. However, Emilie was convinced that her mother knew something. Repeated attempts to wrangle the reason out of her proved futile. Researching the company, she found that Aperture Industries was a huge multi-million dollar corporation that manufactured pharmaceuticals and related equipment as well as other forms of scientific research in the pharmaceutical field. Other than learning of the company, she learnt nothing else. Several hours later, her father came back but said nothing, simply putting a comforting hand on her shoulder. A few days later, an invitation in an envelope came. An invitation to Ashbury Academy.

What corporation sent you to Ashbury?
Christopher Strong is the CEO of Aperature Industries, a huge multi-million dollar corporation that manufactured pharmaceuticals and related equipment as well as other forms of scientific research in the pharmaceutical field. After her father saved the life of its chief executive, he was asked to name his reward. He told Strong that he wanted a better future for his daughter so that she could have whatever she wanted, and that he still felt guilty from robbing her of the happy memories of what she had back at France for his own desires. Strong was soon be approaching his elderly years, and with no children, he had no heir. The ownership would dissolve into fights within the corporation, something he did not want. His assistant then came up with a valuable suggestion.
"How about Ashbury Academy?" he had said. Ashbury Academy was a recognised institution that helped heir-less corporation owners groom potential successors with the help of the Academy's staff. It was widely recognised and accepted within the entire world.

Brooke Avery
"This one is dark, real dark. The Queen of Darkness. I wonder if she can even see herself in all that darkness."
Not a fan of pessimism, there is an unlikely chance of them getting along. Brooke seems to be the embodiment of the darkness and with the will to seem to hate everyone and putting a dampener on things, maybe she could also seen as a challenge as well. Emilie will not be above annoying her with pictures of happy people, or other cute or adorable things. She does love her rather harmless pranks after all.
Laney Chandler
"This one right here is Madame Fashionable. She's real classy and always dresses to impress. That's pretty cool. She doesn't seem fake to me, so I guess she's alright."
Emilie likes to think of Laney as a fashionista. She always dresses well, and appear classy in almost everything she wears. Secretly, Emilie wishes that her fashion sense is as good as Madame Fashionable herself. Maybe she'll ask her for tips one of these days.
Henry Polwith
"I like this guy. Monsieur Smiles. He's bright and happy, just like me without the cynical bits! And he jokes as well!"
Apart from being a bright and happy person, Hal has a good sense of humour and actually appreciates jokes. Maybe one of these days she can rope him in for one of her pranks. He is just a really nice person to be around. A fan of reading and history as well, Emilie could probably see them being rather good friends based on the similarities they have.
Korrigan Alexander Jackson
"The Gamer. Also Monsieur Contacts. He seems to have an unhealthy obsession of black and red. "
Despite his rather peculiar appearance, especially his eyes which Emilie can not stop staring at whenever she sees him, Korrie seems to be a brighter person that he will dress. He is big on gaming as well, so maybe sometime we can totally game together, no matter the platform.
Amanda Hirano
"The Cutie. So cute yet so fragile. Sometimes it feels like if I stare hard enough she will shatter into pieces. Caution: Do not stare too hard. "
A shy and delicate flower, Amanda dresses well, and Emilie gives her props for that. However the girl seems to have such a low esteem that she always seems so quiet and withdrawn. She shouldn't be so hard on herself.
Marie Malveaux
"The Rival. Guess what? She knows french! She's fun to be around."
While Emilie gets along well with Marie and find her enjoyable to be around, their similarities have unknowingly created a rivalry among the pair, igniting the competitive streak in her to one up the poor girl.
Spencer Dalle
"Ahh, Monsieur Mystère. Kind of a mystery, that one."
Emilie doesn't really know what to think about Spencer. He's very much a mystery and does all sorts of douchey things to people, but somehow she's got a feeling somewhere that he may not actually be as mean as he appears.
Nathan Matthews
"He's kinda good looking, handsome even. He's really kind too. Ahh magnifique~"
Nate looks great and is extremely kind to boot. What's not to like about the guy? A real listener and everyone's friend. His selfless nature coupled with his caring nature makes him look very much like a prince charming. Although they haven't really met up much, she likes this guy, but then again which girl won't? He's so dreamy. Très Bien...
Connor MacQuarrie
"A fellow athlete and a gamer! He's loud isn't he? That's Monsieur Loudmouth for you."
Connor is an extremely loudmouth but there is something about that quality that makes him endearing to her. He is rather hunky and much bigger than her in size. He seems to love to party and uses alot of funny-sounding slang. Personality wise,the two of them do have a number in common which could be why Emilie finds him endearing. Being an athlete herself, she respects fellow athletes regardless of the sport he plays. The fact that he likes video games as well is just another item to add to the list.
Brendan Rivers
"Ahh, Monsieur Butthole. Is there anyone worst than him? Is it even possible? "
Emilie cannot tell Brendan was born an ass or did something turn him into one, because he's bad. He seems to have that holier-than-thou attitude, and she cannot stand the sight of him and will avoid him whenever possible.
Erin Emerson
"She is tough that one. I don't want to go up against her. Oh mon dieu!"
Very much a tomboy, Emilie feels like Riley belongs more to the boys than she does to the girls. Despite being physically fit, she is still intimidated of the other girl. From what Emilie can see, Riley looks like a bully, and she does not have a good memories or experiences when it comes to bullies.
Aspen Hancock
"A good person who rarely gets angry. Relaxed and laidback. Quite charming as well."
Another fellow athlete alongside Hal & Connor, Emilie gets along well with Aspen. His relaxed and laidback nature makes it easy to be friends with him. He's funny as well, which is always a great quality to have as far as she is concerned being a lover of jokes and everything funny.
Emilie puts on her best english pronunciation she begins the 31 questions interview.

I always tend to try to stay away from controversial topics like these, so I don't really have anything much to say about these. I remain neutral on my standpoint.

My ears are pierced, and I do wear earrings on several occasions. Other than that, no, no other piercings.

I was aspiring to eventually become a gymnast for the National Olympic Team before this whole Ashbury thing happened. Now I focus on my I am supposed to achieve for my parents and for my sponsor, Monsieur Strong. Other than that, no I don't have any of this "five-year plan" yet. Maybe in the future I would.
27. What are your political preferences?
I don't like politics, so I try to stay away from them if I can. I guess you can say that I am neutral for now. However, if I am required to vote, that I will vote for the most rational one there is that will not lead the country to ruin.
28. What do you habitually keep in their cupboards, medicine cabinets, and purses?
I keep the usual items one might find in an average medicine cabinet. A first aid kit and several bottles of pills, like aspirins, sleeping pills and other essential medicines. I tend to pack certain group of items into certain cupboards so I know when to find them when I need to. I don't have a habit of carrying a purse. I just use a small backpack if needed.
29. What are your favorite outfits/pieces of clothing?
Dresses!~ I love wearing dresses, especially the floral kind! Cocktail dresses! Oh! I love skirts as well!
But a more casual setting, I guess t-shirts and shorts can be quite comfy as well.
30. What do you keep in remote storage?
Remote storage? I have no idea what that means. A place somewhere else to keep things? I don't have one...
31. Are they night owls or morning people?
I would say I'm more of a morning person. I tend to get really tired at night unless I woke up really late in the morning, or I've had an afternoon nap before hand.

Erin "Riley" Emerson
I'm tired of pretending to be strong enough.
-Unknown
Riley Emerson
Erin Riley Emerson
Nicknames
"Riley". She essentially forces others to call her this, she feels it's "tougher" and more masculine than her first name. People usually give in since it is her middle name, so it's not too "out there" to call her that.
Age
17
Gender
female
Sexual Orientation
Riley is bisexual, but if you ask her, she'll tell you she's a lesbian. This is because attention from men makes her feel vulnerable, like she's walking naked down a city street in broad daylight. Her logic is that since women tend to be less aggressive in their advances, this way she can turn down guys while also avoiding having to date most girls.
Grade Level
Junior
Appearance
Riley is tall; about 5'9", lanky, and stick thin. She does have some notable curves in that her waist is smaller than her hips, but other than that she's an a cup and very proud of that, occasionally bragging to other girls about how she "doesn't even have to wear a bra". Her stomach is crisscrossed in red gashes, and I assume you can figure out why. No one but herself and her best friend from her home town knows of their existance. Her skin is pale and washed out on most parts of her body. She does enjoy fashion but it's usually very gender neutral clothing.
Here is an example of an outfit she might wear on an everyday basis.
"Hey nerd, Whatup?"
"Hey nerd, Whatup?"
Personality
Riley's "Big thing", the thing she thinks is most important, is being tough. Growing up in a house full of brothers with just her more-than-slightly misogynistic father to raise them, she had to grow a thick skin fast. She views femininity as a weakness in herself, and hides whatever aspect she finds girlish within her. She's not necessarily sexist to anyone else, in fact she's usually very protective of other girls. In her mind, they're like a young version of herself, and by keeping them safe she's protecting them from what happened to her.
Her idea of masculinity, though, is very basic. Riley is still very childish so to her, acting like you're "the big man on campus" is what being masculine means. She can be cruel when talking to boys, she likes to punch them on the arm and make "jokes" about them in order to appear cool. The truth is that she is in a lot of emotional pain, she lives with constant anxiety and deals with it by self harming. To her this is the "tough" way to deal with her problems because it involves pain. However you would never suspect that she was an anxious person, she has a very laid back persona she likes to push forward.
Riley does have aspects of herself that she hides, the ones she thinks are too delicate and fragile to be brought out into the light. She loves to draw, write poetry and paint. Her art is usually the only expression of her feelings that she allows herself, and she either burns them upon completion or stows them away somewhere no one will ever find them. Her favorite color really IS pink, but she wouldn't be caught dead with it. She also has a huge soft spot for cats, but feels that others think they are a “feminine” pet, so she'll tell you she loves dogs instead when in reality she is absolutely terrified of them.

History
Riley grew up in a cozy, two bedroom house in a forest about ten miles out from the nearest town. There were no neighbors, but she had two older brothers to play with (Jackson, 2 years older and Richard Jr., 4 years older.) and they got along just fine at that point. Her father, however, was an alcoholic. He was pretty benign for the most part, but at age five, he lost his job at the factory in town. This caused her mother to go out looking for a part time position, and the stress on her father from feeling like a failure as a man for not keeping his woman at home caused him to drink ten times more.
He became mean, angry,and belligerent. Most of this was directed at her mother, who took it in stride. However 6 months into his unemployment she began to come home to marks on her children. When she confronted her husband he became extremely violent and threatened to kill her. She dealt with this, and the guilt for staying with him for another 3 months until she took her own life.
Riley didn't witness it; her mother did the deed at a bridge some three or four miles from her job, but from then on it was just her father and her brothers. Her father did eventually find another position, but if he was “benign” before, he wasn't any longer. Her brothers were treated like princes, since they were the physical embodiment of him. Her father transferred all of his pain, guilt and anger onto his now six year old daughter who bore a striking resemblance to her mother, and he encouraged her brothers to treat her poorly as well. Thus began Riley's transformation into something her brothers and father could respect. They never did.

Favorite memory
To escape her family, Riley would explore the woods around her house. She had a running fantasy about it being a woodland kingdom with fairies and elves and invisible queens and princesses. Some of her favorite memories are there.
Least favorite memory
Her brothers and father finding her art and burning it in front of her to punish her for staying out too late.
Red Hot Summer
Red Hot Summer is a clothing and lifestyle company that markets to alternative kids. They wanted someone active in the fashion and creative scene, and someone who placed well enough on tests to indicate that they had the brain power necessary. Riley, for about two years before this event, had been running a fashion blog on tumblr where she would post some of her original clothing designs and comment on new fashion coming out. It was more of a side thing for her; just a hobby to pass the time. However, a higher up from RHS was clued into it during their search and they felt it showed the dedication and creativity needed. A little digging showed that while Riley's average grades in school were disappointing, her placement on standardized tests was enough to push them towards choosing her. She personally was against coming to what she called a "rich bitch" school, but her father wanted her gone and she liked the idea that she could escape.
