Name: Ryleigh Fairchild
Age & Grade: 17, Senior
Appearance: Ry's skin is a warm mocha color, a nod to her mixed-race background; her cool chocolate brown curls reach down to her waist and are usually brought to order by way of a messy bun piled atop her head, and her eyes are hazel in color, usually staying a greenish-copper tone, though really it depends on the weather. She stands about 5'8" and has a willowy frame, with long toned legs, a short torso, and a small chest. Overall her physique is not overly thin, but more on the athletic and healthy side, with her fair share of curves in (most of) the right places. She considers herself to be decently attractive, in a natural and feminine way, and she stays as far away as possible from makeup, save for her favorite watermelon flavored lip gloss that resides in her book bag and is never very far away- for easy reapplication whenever she feels like she needs a touch up. Her style is eclectic, though most would call it bohemian with a modern twist. She tends to pair mixed patterns in a variety of colors with classy blazers and modern stylistic jewelry, making her look one that is most definitely unique. Her footwear of choice is ballet flats, though during the chillier months she keeps her little toes warm by way of knee high faux fur lined leather boots, adorned with flashy gemstones and buckles.
Personality: When you think about Ryleigh, think about Fall. She is cool like an autumn breeze pulling leaves from trees, but also warm like a steaming mug of cocoa. Her smile can light up a room, and her hugs can brighten you up on the darkest of days. With her friends she tends to be helpful, bubbly, full of laughs, and always ready for an adventure. Around strangers she tries to always offer a helping hand to those in need. Her positive outlook on life, and her willingness to offer assistance to others makes her easy to befriend, and to those who she has made a bond with, her loyalty is unwavering. She does have a sour side- as most everyone does. Rarely does she ever become someones enemy, but she has absolutely no patience or tolerance for those who take her kindness, or anyone else's, for granted. Her mindset is that you get back what you out into the world, and if you treat others as less than yourself, you should not be treated with the same kindness as others who appreciate the kindness they have been shown.
Bio: Apart from her being a twin, there isn't much unusual that has occurred in Ry's life. She grew up in the same house she lived in until her family moved closer to the high school she and her brother Anthony wanted to attend, and she has shared a room with her brother since she was born. She excelled in her primary schooling, having a college reading comprehension in her 5th grade year and being nearly two grade levels above her own in mathematics all throughout school. She participated in Girl Scouts when she was a young girl, and during her freshman year of high school she found her niche with the local drama troupe, participating in rehearsals and theatrical performances outside of school, in addition to being a member of the student council and the school's art club. In hope of getting a full ride scholarship to the local community college she participates in a wide range of volunteer work, helping at the food bank and the animal shelter, as well as anything Student Council decides to volunteer at. She particularly likes being a peer tutor, and offers help to lower grades in math, science, english, and history.
Name: Anthony Fairchild
Age & Grade: 17, Senior
Appearance: Despite being fraternal twins with Ryleigh, the only real way you'd know the two were siblings was if they told you. Anthony shares almost nothing with his sister in way of appearance. His skin is only half as dark as her's, making him very pale in comparison to her mocha tone. His mess of dark brown curls refuses to be tamed, leaving him looking like he has just rolled out of bed no matter how he tries to fix it, and his eyes are nearly black in color, mimicking his father's. He is also a good two inches shorter than Ryleigh, making the connection between them practically invisible. To further distance himself from his twin, and to make up for his shabby appearance, he dresses with a sort of laid back class that few can pull off. He typically pairs obnoxiously colored Converse sneakers with distressed denim jeans and stylish button downs, occasionally accompanied by a loose tie or pocket handkerchief. This look may not get him much attention with the ladies, but his signature style makes him the poster child for his close knit group of friends, who all make attempts to pull off the laid back class created by Anthony.
Personality: In one word, Anthony, who generally goes by Tony, could be accurately described as a goofball. His deep, throaty laugh echoes through the halls at school, and he cracks cheesy jokes every chance he gets. He is very easy going and extremely easy to get along with, making him fairly popular in the way that everyone knows who he is, even if they hardly know anything about him. He has a very small circle of friends -all guys- that he runs with, though he knows the names of most everyone at school. He is loyal to a fault, and will do anything to keep his friends together. Within the small group of Tony's friends, he is the keeper of everyone's secrets, and his mind is like a steel trap. He has dirt on all of his buddies, but, since his ultimate goal is to keep everyone together, he keeps it all under wraps, so as not to upset anyone.
Bio: Tony grew up with a relatively normal childhood. He never really had any issues in school or at home. He stayed at grade level throughout primary school, middle school, and high school. When he started his junior year of school he decided to take a tradesman class that the local community college was offering at a reduced rate for high school students, and he finished his junior year of school and his first year of training towards a carpenter's certificate without any issues. His senior year started off rough with the loss of one of his best friends, and his school work and training both suffered from him missing classes and not turning in work on time. It took him almost two months but eventually he started to catch up in his classes and he got back on track with training. His smile and laughter still fade at times, but to those who don't know him too well he seems to be back to normal.
----------------------------------
So since you guys are all sort of wrapped up in your own thing, I was thinking maybe the twins could be living either next door or across the street from Odin, that way they have some sort of a way to jump into the story? If someone has a better idea, by all means, let me know. Also, I need actual opinions. Am I going to bore you all if I write a fair amount? If I will then I can take my forms down. Be honest, I'm a big girl, I can take it! ;)
