Daniel Quincey Carrington

Danny- Short for Daniel, it was used when he was kid by his older siblings.
Squirt- Because he was always rather short when growing up. He almost always refused to respond to it but would answer to it accidentally, resulting in a lot of teasing.
He prefers to be called Daniel or Dan.

35

Male

Lawyer

Asexual. Biromantic.

Single pringle. He's only bringing along a plus one to prove that he isn't completely obsessed with his work.

Daniel is still dwarfed by many of his family members, standing at around 5'6, even though he swears up and down that he's 5'7. His height and build make for quite a slim and unassuming character, but he's refined himself to exude and more sleek air, with slim fitting suits and expensive cologne.

His hair, if not kept under strict control, will curl and fluff in all directions, and it's the only thing about him that seems exciting rather then the strictly colour-inside-the-lines rule that he sticks to otherwise. In the morning's, he'll normally look like there's a poodle on top of his head, giving the image of a much younger man. He has a pale complexion, from not going out too much and then somehow only going out when it's cloudy or raining. His eyes are a pale shade of a mix of blue and green. He used to have to wear thick, nerdy glasses to see, but has moved on and now wears contact lenses.

Daniel doesn't look to have a casual bone in his body, much preferring nice suits rather then t-shirts and jeans. Slacks and a shirt are about as informal as you'll ever see him. The only eye catching thing about his attire will normally be his ties, which range in different colours and patterns from day to day.

Daniel isn't the best at letting his emotions be known to the world. Sure he can make polite conversation, and bullshit his way through any interactions, but dealing with his feelings when he's in an emotionally vulnerable state...he'll most likely just bottle up all his feelings until it just builds up and he explodes out. A time like that isn't the best time to be around him. When he gets angry however, it's very obvious. It's the kind of anger that isn't hot and passionate. It's calculated to be cause as much pain to you, as he's feeling in that moment. After someone's gotten on his bad side, he certainly won't forget, and they can expect muttered snarky comments and a whole lot of passive aggressiveness. He doesn't stoop so low as to talk about people behind their back however.

In his line of work, you have to be a smooth talker to get what you want, and most of that rides on the ability to make people see your way. And that's exactly what he does best. He could have succeeded in sales, how he can spin a world right in front of someone's eyes. But even as he's a skilled public speaker, when faced with his family, he loses most of that confidence. He used to have a horrible stutter when he was younger, addressed by his parents scornfully as a 'speech impediment' and it returns, not in full force, but just enough to be noticeable, even after all the therapy. He also has a habit of talking to himself, because it helps him to get everything ordered in his mind. Most of the time if he asks someone to discuss something with him, he'll likely just bounce ideas off of them before he finds one that he likes.

He's the type to think of the glass as half empty rather then half full, and won't take chances unless they are strictly in his favour. Perfectly content with staying in his own comfort zone, he takes some convincing to do something he has no interest in.

Being forgotten and abandoned, and of not being loved because of his sexuality.

Daniel had gotten the early impression that his parents weren't all that interested in him. Of course, he knew why, they were busy with their work. And now looking back, he can't think badly of them for it. He was just passed from nanny to nanny, and the only times he ever got acknowledged by them was the few times that they had a family dinner-always horribly awkward-and from their absentminded comments on his education. Even as a child, the most caring thing they ever did for him was send him to a speech therapist for his stutter, and even that was just a couple hours of torture every week. So he never really bonded with them, as perhaps he should've, instead just spending most of his free time in his room reading books and drawing, although that particular hobby never really got off the ground.

At school he had just enough friends to get by, because having none would be clear social suicide, as seen from the many students that sat alone and were bullied because of it. He learned that being by yourself was essentially declaring your vulnerability to the world, and that was something he was not inclined to do. And so, apart from his grades he kept under the radar, a completely average young boy. But by the time he was 11, he knew exactly what he wanted to do with his life. He was going to be lawyer.

And that was what carried him through high school, losing new friends, gaining some more but all with the goal of becoming someone in the world who had the power to do some good. He wasn't the type to waste his time partying, and it seemed that as soon as he graduated from his senior year he dove headfirst into demanding schedule of a law student. After getting his degrees for Criminal Law, he got a few options, interviewed for all of them and was accepted into a firm. Working his way up from an associate was hard work, but it certainly paid off after all the years because he got the title of junior partner. This is when he met Katelyn of course, and he hired as a paralegal and hasn't regretted it at all since.

He got his Bachelors degree in Criminal Law at Yale, as well as his Masters.

When he won his first case while still being wet behind the ears, and feeling that rush of adrenaline, powered by satisfaction and joy at doing some good in the world.

Realising that no matter how much he wanted it, and how hard he tried, he wouldn't be able to have a normal relationship with someone, and that he wouldn't be able to fill all their needs.

Amelia Annabelle Garcia

Her most common nicknames are Lia, Anna or Belle. Mostly her friends and family calls her by those names-she had them since she was little.

17

Female

She's still in school-about to go to College next year. Currently has a short intern-ship with Vogue

Bisexual-More attracted to guys though *Not many people know about her Bisexuality*

Single-Crushing on Charlie. Slightly confused when he asks her on this trip and what it actually means.

Amelia is a petite, feminine young woman with a beautiful hour-glass figure. Standing on the shorter side of 5'6. She had soulful and warm chocolate brown eyes-they are always gentle, filled with life and soul. Her eyes are barely cold towards another being. Her hair is naturally a strawberry-blonde, but due to spending time in the sun it sometimes takes different shades of blonde...sometimes a lighter blonde. Amelia's slightly tanned skin is seemly flawless-apart from the occasional birth mark. Amelia likes to wear dangly earrings-hoops or any funky long earrings she can get her hands on.
She can be a bit of a girly-girl wearing dresses, skirts and high-heel shoes and boots to her liking. But Amelia has her own style, as she makes some of her own clothes-she made a couple for her friends. She can also be seen wearing, Jeans and shorts with various t-shirts depending on the weather.

Amelia is rather bubbly and happy/outgoing person-it doesn't take her long to make friends and get to know them. Her friends always mean a lot to her-and she's always there for them when they need her, willing to help, listen or just hang out...no matter what. She is a person that can be relied up, and is known to be loyal. Her bubbly-personality can sometimes seem like hyperness to some, and annoy those that aren't used to her. However, if you put Amelia in a house full of important or intimidating people-Amelia looses her cool, becomes shy and easily nervous. She usually talks to herself, if she gets nervous...the more nervous she gets...the worse it seems to get. Making her seem very innocent and timid.

Triskaidekaphobia: Amelia has a strange fear of the number 13. That number has always been unlucky in her life. Her biological father also died on her 13th birthday.
Dying young/Untimely death.

Amelia Annabelle Garcia was born to a happy couple-the youngest of 3 children, in a middle class family. Her father worked for the Marine, whilst her mother was a school teacher. Due to her father's occupation, the Garcia's moved around a lot-every-time her father got re-stationed. Amelia never complained about the moving, as she had gotten to see some amazing places, meet interesting people. The only thing that perhaps bothered her, was the fact that her dad was away a lot. But she still loved her father, and he adored and cared for each child equally. The family was a happy one, until Amelia turned 13 years old. Prior to her birthday, her father's Navy station got bombed by enemies...killing everyone, including Amelia's father. The news of his death, reached the Garcia's on her birthday...that event had scared Amelia, and since then...she barely celebrates birthdays, and doesn't even talk about them. Years passed and when Amelia turned 15, her mother re-married. A posh, English Doctor in training. Whilst he's a nice guy, he just doesn't have that spark and bond with any of the children. He doesn't seem to get them....especially Amelia. And often thinks, she's odd for her fashion sense and hobbies.

When Amelia got to high-school she met Charlie Carrington. A slightly shy, awkward but sweet young guy. There are some similarities between the two, that made Amelia get on with him. Whilst she has heard of his family-especially his parents and the business they run. And his sister Marisol being a well known Model-Amelia didn't let that determine how she felt about Charlie. She had gotten to know him, for who he is, what he's like. She likes him for him...not his family, wealth and legacy. The two became good friends, hanging out and watching super-hero movies together-or marathons more like. And whilst she knew he was always smart and would do well-she felt a bit sad when he left school earlier than most. But the two have kept in touch.

Now, Charlie has asked her to go with him to the family vacation. Whilst it was easy for Amelia to accept, she is a bit confused about what it means. She has developed a bit of a secret crush on Charlie-and she's not sure if he feels that way about her. She's going on this trip, to support her friend but also to get away from her family for a while-her new posh step father in particular.

She's currently in her last year of High-school. She has applied to a couple of colleges to go including Yale, Dartmouth and Harvard. Whilst she has gotten acceptance letters, she hasn't made her choice yet.

The day Charlie tried to teach her how to Skateboard. It was a rather fun and hilarious moment, as she ended up skating off of a pier at the beach. The memory always brings a smile to her face.

Her 13th Birthday-her father died during an attack on his navy ship. Since then, Amelia has struggled to enjoy or look forward to any birthday, especially hers.
