Deep in Denial/The Closet

Single. She wants it to change.

Above board, Hana works at a pizzeria. Possibly even The Pizzeria. But anyone with some decent sense knows she can't afford nearly all the things she does on a waitress-slash-prize counter clerk's salary and she doesn't come from money.

Off the record, of course, Hana deals in various illicit substances to those who are willing to pay. It's a school and area full of rich pricks, and they'll pay top dollar for powders, pills, and poppers.

Junior

Jock Floater. She's technically a jock by default being as she's on a team but she's a floater due to her services and habit of not discriminating when it comes to customers. Other than people thinking she's a bit of a two faced bitch, she gets along well enough with whoever...so long as they've got the greenbacks.

There's a running gag in her family that Hana got all the attractive genes in the family, no one really appreciates that particular gag but then, no one really appreciates the oldest sibling that made the gag in the first place. Regardless of one's opinions on her family, Hana knows and acts like she is a looker - and for many people she knows in person she certainly is. Unlike others whose pride and self worth start and end with how they look, Hana mainly cares about her appearance in order to hide in plain sight. She's not a member of the upper echelon of high school cliques, yet, but she still would rather look good than slovenly.

Her hair is kept at a medium length and always catching the light in such a way as to shine, and it's more difficult than one might realize to make black hair shine, but Hana finds a way even if that means less time in the bathrooms for the family. Since wearing designer clothing and dresses is a bit expensive (and since Hana doesn't have plans to reveal how she can afford them on 'minimum wage ticket dumping'), Hana tends to go for more casual but still cute enough to catch the eye; skirts that might be a tad too short for the high school dress code, the shirts that don't have sleeves, the shoes. Sometimes she'll wear jeans that really show off her butt but never will she wear shorts as skirts just look and feel better. During the season Hana sometimes wears her uniform pants just to get people interested in the game; it's not just the boy's sports that needs support. Functional, but flirtatious all the same.

Her skin is porcelain and she frequently wears lipstick to draw attention to her face, and considering she stands at just shy of five foot five, often that attention is aimed downwards from those taller than her. She's glad that in recent years she's really started to fill out those curves, which in her eyes only adds to the appeal that should have already been there. Hana does hate the birthmark on her arm, though, it just...it looks weird and she hates when people try and make it sound cute.

Her one bit of expensive accessory is a handbag that cost damn near five figures, but Hana passed it off by saying she saved up allowances and paychecks.

Hana's dream, which she has told approximately one person, is to do one of two things: become a published science fiction author or a writer for television/movies. No one at school really even knows Hana's more traditionally geeky side, or that her best class is an elective.

Cemeteries. She still holds her breath and closes her eyes whenever she happens to pass by them.

Her sister finding out about her selling drugs. The one person Hana respects and loves the most is her sister and the revelation would crush her.

Even among the socialites and would-be's in the Hills, it's hard not to hear about the Park Family. The patriarch, Lee, is a staple of the community, having turned a rundown eatery into something profitable by using freshly grown ingredients and family recipes to create what publications (and even Yelp) have called "the best Korean dining in the state". 'Kumiho' is a popular spot for those looking for high quality Korean cuisine. The matriarch, Tiffany, does work as hair stylist, once upon a time even working with wealthy and famous but now simply working at a beauty shop for vapid spoiled sorts.. But it's the Park Children that the community is far less willing to talk about.

There's the oldest, brother Ken, who dropped out of high school and spends his days getting high with his burnout buddies and thinking they're going to become the next big rap sensation. There's the older sister Abby who was expelled from high school for fighting bullies for the bullied thus being a bully herself, though she's since turned herself around by getting her GED and joining the police; now Abby maintains a friendly rapport with the district, showing up at events and priding herself on transparency, a way of making up for her troubled youth. There's the youngest, Jeremy, who is only in first grade but has a real shot at being the good Park.

But of course, there's Hana. On the surface there's nothing truly outrageous about her, not on the level of her two older siblings anyway. Sure she dresses rather...provocatively but she hasn't done anything that her parents vehemently disapprove of. That they are aware of, anyway.

Hana's childhood was spent idolizing her cool older sister, Abby, up until Abby started coming home bloody and angry after fighting some asshole or another. Abby became less cool to the young Hana and more...crazy; it only takes one instance of your idol coming into your shared bedroom covered in blood for an opinion to change. It was at this time, with Hana in middle school, that she came to the conclusion that people are never quite who you think they are; and that has applied to Hana as well.

Hana's popularity in high school has nothing to do with her looks, though they certainly don't hurt, and everything to do with why they call her Pizza Man. Having a brother that is involved in shady practices and a sister in the police gives Hana access to a variety of...party favors for her classmates. There's always some problem in high schools, and in the case of Beverly Hills High if students want to use, Hana will provide for a price. Why? At first it was a way to buy something that her allowance wouldn't cover, but she grew addicted to the popularity and status it came with, and she got to keep the moral high ground by never using herself. She could judge others for their vices while staying clean.

Of course, that she's a member of the softball team, hoping to be made captain this season, and a presence on the tennis team absolutely helps her case when it comes to popularity and acceptance from her peers and the staff. Hana presents herself as a student that BHHS can be proud of, athletic, passing grades, friendly enough, but it's always the sweetest smelling roses that have the sharpest barbs.

To an outsider looking in, someone like Hana Park seems like the absolute sweetheart. She's got a smile that is damn near infectious, a stride that exudes confidence, and a rapport with pretty much everyone she interacts with. And while that much is true on the surface, there's a little saying about wolves in sheep's clothing. Hana has a way of wrapping people around her finger because she knows what people want, what they need, and how to give it to them. It's a matter of supply and demand, she's the one to look up when it comes to supplies. Her part is played well, but the face she presents to her peers is a mask that is increasingly hard to hide behind.

Hana is a bit arrogant at times, that much is true, but she's able to back up her talk with results. She might tell someone their answer is wrong or their idea is shit but when challenged she'll accept and come back swinging. Hana's rather competitive, always having to be right even if it means refusing to admit wrong doing, and losing is never an option. She got that from her sister, whom she idolized for much of her youth. But her arrogance extends mainly to the field, where she feels it's okay to feel arrogant and rude since everyone shakes hands at the end anyway.

If there's one thing Hana cannot abide by it's people that have no chill when it comes to her distribution amongst the students. It's really only a surprise to the freshman since most of the students know that 'Pizza Man' is who you ask for if one needs something a bit heavier than simple bags of 'herbs', but people that are so obvious in their dealings and risk everything gets Hana furious.

Among her fellow jocks and team mates, Hana's seen as a rallying force. As an Ace of the Softball team as well as the striving to be the Captain, she's looked up to with respect and expectations and meeting them inbetween all the other goings-on in her life provides no small amount of stress. She's never indulged in her own product but she cannot say the temptation doesn't exist.

Hana's charms come not from the subtle gestures or the too-perfect pick up lines, but from her way with people. She treats everyone with a varying amount of like, and that makes her likable to the right crowd of people. While less outright gossipy as some of her friends and allies, Hana is no less devious and judgy, but hers is far more subtle. Getting to know people in the way that she does leaves her privy to a lot of secrets that are better left in her head or on the backburner for a rainy day.

Because of this, Hana finds it best not to trust anyone other than herself. People are liars. She's one of them. But at least she'll never lie to herself

Hana is a closet geek at heart, having interests in science fiction and World of Warcraft but distances herself from those interests to maintain her position near the upper echelon. Hana writes short sci fi stories in her down time and even fanfiction under the handle 'VanillaSunrise'. All of her toons on the online games she secretly plays have 'Vanilla' in their names somewhere. She really likes vanilla.

Abby Park, sister. Hana idolized her so much as a child and still does, although it took some doing for Abby to get back in Hana's good graces. Abby was expelled from BHHS after getting into far too many fights. She believed herself to be doing the right thing, fighting bullies, but didn't realize how it made her a bully as well. Presently, Hana lives with Abby in Abby's apartment because she'd rather live there than have to deal with younger brother Jeremy's shit. That's not literal anymore. Abby was the favorite until Hana came along, then Hana was the favorite until Jeremy came along.

Ken Park, older brother. Hana never really got along with Ken growing up, always calling him 'Baboya' or 'Idiot'. Ken flunked out of BHHS in his senior year. For a time he worked at Kumiho until simply washing dishes was too much to ask. Ken is lazy and spends most days laying on a couch getting high with his buddies. He still has hopes to one day break out in the rap game, but until that day comes he's just freestyling and using. In exchange for supplying Hana with pills and other substances, he gets a cut of the profits. Hana constantly shortchanges him because Ken doesn't understand percentages.

Jeremy Park, younger brother. Jeremy is loud and the relatives love him but Hana knows he's a little monster and after changing his diapers one too many times she's done with him until he's at least in the third grade. He'll be starting first grade.

Lee Park, father. An entrepreneur of sorts, Lee rose from humble beginnings as a simple agriculture enthusiast (read: farmer's son) to owner of a well known Korean restaurant in the heart of the Hills. Approaching the retirement age, Lee has still yet to find someone to take over the family business and it looks like he might never, considering the Park Siblings and their wildly different paths in life. Kumiho is his pride and joy, after his family, of course.

Tiffany Park, mother. Once a prominent stylist to the stars who had to cut that life short in order to raise her children. Tiffany now works at a salon in Beverly Hills where she has to pretend to care about the problems of people. She's far more patient towards her children than Lee is though when she is properly mad...well, hell hath no fury, right?

Loner Jock (hopefully not for long)

There are several first impressions you could make of Park. Shy, hesitant and reproachful. He carries a warm, pleasant air around him but he seems to hesitate behind every action he makes. He is not entirely confident in himself which shows quite obviously in his appearance. He has a young, boyish-looking face but with little baby fat, a trait he got from his ruthless exercise routines. He has a small rectangular space on his eyebrow where it looks like it was shaved off. Instead, this comes from him flicking his eyebrow way too much out of habit. He stands at 5" 10', quite tall for a 15 year old but necessary due to his fencing lifestyle. He has lithe, toned muscles and is quite a lean teenager having little interest in junk food or any sort of fattening meals. He dresses conservatively, a simple jacket or coat with jeans is enough for his outwardly appearance. He isn't the most socially adept person in the world so he wouldn't dress like he was looking for attention. And that's the problem, he hasn't made much of a name for himself due to his tendency to blend into the background. Despite anything he does, he tends to blend with the wall despite any attempt to not do otherwise. Combined with his thick accent, bare understanding of the English language and shyness around strangers, one would wonder how he could possibly survive high school. The boy honestly just wants friends and a fencing club, not much drama at all.

Park was born into existence. That's pretty much it. Some might question whether the nephew of an Olympian and the son of two hardworking (and rich) businessmen could have such a boring birth. But it was. It was average, it lasted an average amount of time, there were no complications and he was born at an average weight. He was a little taller, sure, but it didn't detract by how boring his life started. His childhood was quite uneventful as well. He didn't see much of his parents from the age of 5, his mother going back to full working hours. They left their little apartment in Seoul at 5 am and came back at 12am, often tired after a long day of meetings, calls or whatever they were doing. The little boy often didn't see his parents and would communicate through notes on the fridge. He had to learn how to cook, clean the apartment, do the dishes, wash clothes and other such menial tasks otherwise his parents would be very disappointed. He didn't want to disappoint them after all, what if they went away for longer than they do now? That wouldn't do. They'd be tired for longer and wouldn't be able to see him. It was like they didn't want him in their lives so if he disappointed them, they'd really not want him. He was, after all, quite an average child. Nothing special, nothing new. Just someone to continue the family name.

There was one day in his early life where both of his parents came home early. It was the worst day of Park's life. "Hello." the stranger said, walking into the apartment "How are you son?"

Who was this man, standing in the doorway? Who was he? why was he standing with his mother? He tilted his head, a blank expression on his face. He wasn't sure who this man was. The stranger reached his arms out, as if beckoning for a hug. "Mama said I shouldn't hug strangers." Park quoted, tilting his head even further. The stranger's face drooped, his lips starting to curl downwards. Wait. He didn't want this. He didn't want the stranger to cry. He didn't like people crying, it's how they leave you right? He didn't want the person to leave. He took hesitant steps towards the stranger before slowly wrapping his arms around the man. The stranger placed his chin on his shoulder and whispered "Don't worry Park, papa'll be here for you." Unsurprisingly, he wasn't. That's the end of that story.

The consequences of this early loneliness still affect Park today. It contributed to his overall awkwardness and lack of self-esteem although this would improve over time. It also built up his fear for disappointing his already detached parents, despite his independence streak from them. It restricts him from doing anything too dangerous, too daring in case his parents somehow finds out (even if there's no chance of them doing so). He also became subconsciously distrusting of any promises made to him, unless it's from someone who he really trusted. Whenever someone would ask about his parents, he'd always say that "They're normal and busy people, all that's to it I'm afraid."

Park wasn't put into normal school but instead was tutored by a number of different people. To an emotionally and socially stunted individual, this overwhelmed him but he soon grew to love his new family. Everyday he had multiple visiting tutors and a set time schedule. He was particularly good at his singing, maths and Spanish classes. The lonely apartment was suddenly filled with new people and it filled him with joy when they came. Especially when visited by his English teacher, Uncle Joo. They were related by blood but he could never see the connection between his hard-faced mother and his free spirited uncle. Instead of actually learning, he spent most of his english class trying to help Uncle Joo get a date with his singing and Spanish tutor, Ms. Santos. Whether by going out to the mall for some flowers, searching for good restaurants to take her or finding ways to impress her, it was always fun with his uncle. The tutors all excelled at their jobs of course - barring Uncle Joo. He had above average academics and keen mind but he needed more. At the age of 9, he decided to find some more extracurricular activities for his free time in between classes. With Uncle Joo's stolen wallet in hand, he searched the city alone to look for something to do. At that point, he was so estranged from his parents that his independence streak kicked in much earlier than usual. He had no problems with scouring the streets alone like that, even in a cold winter night.

Eventually, Park came across a dusty old staircase on a side street in downtown Seoul. Sang-young's Swords Academy. Ignoring the generic name, his interest was piqued by the name. He had heard of Park Sang-young, a gold medalist fencer who retired a decade or two back. He had seen the old newspaper article wrapped around one of Uncle Joo's "hidden" beer bottles on the top shelf of the apartment. He had climbed the countertop, getting to the bottle-shaped newspaper covered objects easily enough. He had actually distracted Uncle Joo with it, wanting to drink from it out of childlike curiosity as the elder man walked in. Joo yelled out in surprise and attempted to snatch the bottle away. Instead, Park let the bottle get smacked and it broke against a nearby drawer. Shocked, his uncle proceeded to try and clean the mess. In the process, the young boy grabbed the wallet out of his uncle's back pocket and politely left his uncle to worry about his parents coming home.

Anyhow, Park walked up the staircase, wrapped up in a furry parka. He opened the door, letting the cold air swirl into the opened room. Well, it was more of a gym hall. There were metal strips running lengthwise down the gym, with multiple wires running along the strips (later to be known to him as "pistes"). A total of six of these pistes were present but only two were being used, one person at opposing sides. There were two other people resting on the benches, gazes focused on the duellers even as sweat gathered on their brow.The sound of metal clashing metal filled his ears, the loud beeping noise when a touch happened made him startle in surprise. As any 21^st century kid, he spent much of his time on the internet, browsing through videos. Fencing compilations had him both confused and transfixed to the screen. It was fascinating, seeing all this in real life. The flexible weapons, the bouncing feet, the darkness of their masks, everything just oozed cool to him. In these first few seconds, it was like he was under a spell. This was broken a few seconds later by a rough voice, from a greying man in the corner near the door, someone who went completely unnoticed by him. "Mah mah, you're letting all the air in, get inside or get out, dang kid." The grumbling and obvious displeasure made him kickstart into action, closing the door and entering inside.

Park put his hood down and started to stare at the grumbling stranger. He had greying hair on the top of his head but no bald spot. What was no doubt a previously handsome face was wrinkled with age, a stubble covering the lower half. He wore a black sweater and fitting dark jeans. Dark eyes peered at him back and it was at that moment he realised he was staring. "Kid, you gonna pay for lessons or are you just gonna stand there and look at me?" The young boy started bumbling. He didn't particularly want to spend his uncle's money. He just... well what the heck. He was here and his uncle was fairly rich, he was tutoring him to get to know his nephew better. There's his little independent streak once more. He nodded once, still fairly shy in the presence of who is supposedly the great Sang-young. The former olympian looked at him with analytical eyes, as if searching for something. Waiting in anticipation, he waited for the grandmaster to speak. After an agonisingly slow few seconds, the grandmaster spoke with that grumpy voice of his. "Never mind, you're too short. Come back in a few years kiddo."

The boy opened and closed his mouth like a yapping fish. He was a paying customer, wasn't he? Why couldn't he get in? Was it actually his height or did he annoy the man too much? What's going on? Is he really that old and decrepit? A young, distinctly confident female voice called from the other side of the hall. "Stop bullying him, ya stupid old man! Let him have the trial class like you had with all of us." Sang-young's face turned into one of irritation. The elder began grumbling under his breath before standing up, showing his height. He wasn't all that tall at 5' 7" but was lithe, toned muscles showing through the fitting jeans he wore. Sharp eyes stared down at Park before he was kicked in the shin. "Mah, Soo's got yer back. She's a pain to deal with, nag nag nag.. Come on kid, let's fence."

And as they say, the rest was history. His uncle was severely disappointed at the amount of money he lost because of his escapade but was happy the boy was being outgoing and exercising. It would be a difficult first year for him, Park struggled with fencing due to his lack of height but as he grew older, his sudden active lifestyle helped him grow. The weight of the sword was also a problem but was quickly overcome by how frequently he trained. He would come to the hall three days a week for the first half of the first year before moving on to five days a week. Then he went multiple sessions a day, one morning and one night. He took to fencing like bees to honey, immersing himself in the way of the sword. Epeé was his preferred style, he wasn't much of a sabreur or foilist. The slow, methodical style of the longest weapon appealed to him the most. Once he reached the age of 13, he was allowed to do more intense training camp such as light olympic lifts, HIIT sprints, long runs, etc. With lots of free time between tutor classes, he could go train whenever he could and without his parents knowing about it. He never actually revealed his sport to his parents, even to this day, once again afraid of their disappointment. He also got to meet many of his own peers in the club such as Soo, a girl only one year older than him who helped him grow out of his shell a little more. He became a little less stunted afterwards, thankful for the third family he gained from the fencing club.

However, in life, good things have to end. Park's parents, once he reached 15, confronted him one day. In actual real life, not just through notes and occasional texts. They were worried he was emotionally and socially stunted, unaware of his extracurricular activity. They were going to send him off with his uncle and aunt (Joo eventually got with Ms. Santos) to an American high school, so that he could learn how to grow outside of the apartment, in a foreign land. Shocked to the core that his parents would care for him after fifteen years of not caring, he couldn't gather the willpower to disagree and show them his fencing skills. Instead, he just silently stalked back to his room, beginning to pack his bags and fencing bag. He knew they weren't going to drop him off at the airport, they had an important business meeting at his time of leave, no point in hiding his hidden sport. He said goodbye to his tutors and his friends at the fencing club, awkwardly promising to come back and visit if he could. This was all overwhelming and abrupt, he never thought he would leave Soeth Korea or even Seoul, his hometown. It shocked him and even when they went through the baggage check in the international airport, it still didn't sink in. As he sat down in his airplane seat, looking out to the beautiful night lights of Seoul, he realised. He would have to use his uncle's barebones English lessons. Aside from the English songs he learned in singing class, he barely knew anything. He groaned out loud, wishing he had downloaded English 101 on his phone.

Josie one day would like to become a singer and a dancer similar to The Queen herself, Beyoncé. Unfortunately, her father only views her dancing as a hobby and something she won't do once she graduates from high school. He doesn't even know about her desire to continue with the 'hobby' past high school and especially doesn't know about her love of singing and writing music. Her love of singing and music composition is only known by very few people.

Josephine's biggest fear is to be disappointment to her father and become disowned by him like her brother, Trevor, almost was. But she also fears living a life that she doesn't want just to keep her father in her life. Something less intense but still playing a big role in her life is Josie's Pharmacophobia, fear of drugs. It isn't of the drugs that are legal and used correctly despite the name of the phobia, but instead a fear of the illegal and commonly abused drugs the ruin lives. She fears that it could take away someone close to her again and she couldn't handle that, not after losing her mother to them.

Richard and Lucile were at one point considered Hollywood's 'It' Couple. Lucile a gorgeous model and actress married to a highly decorated Navy Seal Commander. When they got married, it was celebrated across the nation. It was shortly after the birth of Trevor that Hollywood and the nation's attention began to fade from the family. The couple no longer quite the 'It' couple they once were. Instead they were just the occasional headline.

But as time passed the family began to fade further from the limelight, despite this being what Richard thought would be best for the family Lucile was not all that please. The woman had lived her whole life getting attention and was unsure how to react now that not many people seemed to care about the family. So she began to act out, took more jobs and began doing things she knew would get her attention even if the attention was negative. The stress her outbursts put on her marriage between Richard almost broke them. Unknown to them, the two loved each other more than they could truly imagine and upon the actress getting into a car accident while driving under the influence of not only alcohol but also various drugs, old feelings were reignited in both of them.

With the help of her husband Lucile got help and about a year and a half after the accident they found out she was pregnant again. They were ecstatic, at the very least Richard was. Lucile on the other hand feared that they would lose the attention they were receiving from all the things she had done, just like they had lost the attention after Trevor was born. She of course hid this from her husband, but after Josephine was born and her predictions became true... well she began drinking and doing drugs again.

As Josephine grew up she many times saw her mother return home from some party drunk or high or both. Sometimes her father was with her mother and they were arguing, words flying about rehab and divorce. The latter never happened but rehab was attempted multiple times but even after getting clean and coming out she would return to the drugs and alcohol. Eventually Lucile took it too far and mixed one to many pills, instead of a high she was met with death. What's worse is Josephine is the one who found her dead on her bed, of course the girl was to young to know truly that her mother was dead but now that she is older... it occasionally haunts her.

Due to what happened to her mother, her father decided it would be best if his children followed him in his footsteps for career choice. He felt it was the best way to keep them from ever ending up like their mother. He of course let them enjoy their 'hobbies' as long as they understood they were only hobbies and that upon graduation they would be joining the military. He also preached to them that Hollywood was corruptive and evil that it was because of the entertainment world that Lucile ultimately ended up dead. Richard informed his children that it empowered drugs and alcohol, making them seem like it is how you get popular anywhere. Warning them that they need to stay away from both or else there will be severe consequences.

Trevor did not listen though, one night after a football game his senior year he was arrested for driving drunk and being in possession of cocaine. Upon being bailed out of jail he was handed a bag and $200, then told to find somewhere else to live. It took three months for Trevor to convince his father that it was the biggest mistake of his life and that he deserved a second chance. A lot of help came from a young Josephine persistently begging her father for her brother to be allowed home again. Trevor joined the army after graduating, wanting to make his father proud of him again.

Now it is just Josie and Richard left together in their home in Beverly Hills. Josie loves her father, she truly does but he is on the colder side and it doesn't help that he isn't home much due to still being a Navy Seal. So really it's mainly just Josie alone in their house and of course her dog that her father got her due to her being alone so much. Her being alone allows her to practice her singing and dancing at home without fear of her dad getting mad at her or finding out about the singing. She does hope to one day have the courage to let her dad know her real dream but right now, she doesn't have the courage.

The Elite.

Lawrence honestly wants to be a big boy football player like his dad, but if the football thing don't work out then... he'll probably coach or become a cop or something.

Lawrence Townsend was born to Ryan and Delilah Townsend in the sweet, sweet town of Los Angeles, California. His father, Ryan Townsend, is currently the starting quarterback for the Los Angeles Chargers, after being selected in the first round out of the University of Texas quite a while ago. He has played in countless Super Bowls and won many accolades throughout his career as a quarterback. Lila, on the other hand, was Ryan's high school sweetheart and is currently a housewife.

Being born to who is considered one of, if not the greatest quarterbacks of all time comes with a lot of things to it. Lot of upkeep, lot of training, and definitely a lot of traveling. As a result, Ryan wasn't available for a lot of the year. The only times that the kids were able to see him during the season were when he was playing at home, on a bye week, or on the television. It was hard seeing their father lose a game or get hit hard, but as long as he got back up and was able to come home it was okay. Being a top quarterback does that to someone, and although it was hard for the family, they got over it. Lawrence, Lauren, Lily, and Liam have all lived with it their entire lives.

Lila Townsend did a great job raising the Townsend kids on her own, and the contributions that Ryan had on their lives made Lila's job even better. Every single one of the Townsend kids are doing just fine, or at least in their parents' eyes. Ryan, whenever he's done for the season, spends every single possible minute he can with his kids. Whether it be mentoring Lawrence and helping him break down film, taking his daughters shopping, or teaching his other son, Liam, how to be a great quarterback, he's all over it.

Lawrence, in particular, had decided to follow in his dad's footsteps in playing football. The Townsend family is known as football royalty, as his grandpa, Charles, played for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Originally setting out to be a quarterback, it was soon discovered that Lawrence had an affinity for running the ball. As a result, his coaches moved him to runningback where he flourished and fit in just fine. He became the Varsity starter his first year in high school and has been scouted by many teams in the country because of his ability (but also due to his lineage).

Lawrence is currently the all-time leader in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns in BHHS history, and is close to the state record overall. He is fielding offers from schools like the University of Michigan, Louisiana State University, Stanford, his father's Alma Mater the University of Texas, and whatnot. Scouts often describe his playstyle as being very similar to those of former NFL runningbacks Le'Veon Bell and Christian McCaffrey.

Lauren eventually wants to become an English teacher.

Lauren Townsend was born to Ryan and Lila Townsend in the sweet, sweet town of Los Angeles, California. Ryan Townsend is currently the starting quarterback for the Los Angeles Chargers, after being selected in the first round out of the University of Texas quite a while ago. Lila, on the other hand, was Ryan's high school sweetheart and is currently a housewife.

Being born to who is considered one of, if not the greatest quarterbacks of all time comes with a lot of things to it. Lot of upkeep, lot of training, and definitely a lot of traveling. As a result, Ryan wasn't available for a lot of the year. The only times that the kids were able to see him during the season were when he was playing at home, on a bye week, or on the television. It was hard seeing their father lose a game or get hit hard, but as long as he got back up and was able to come home it was okay. Being a top quarterback does that to someone, and although it was hard for the family, they got over it. Lawrence, Lauren, Lily, and Liam have all lived with it their entire lives.

Lila Townsend did a great job raising the Townsend kids on her own, and the contributions that Ryan had on their lives made Lila's job even better. Every single one of the Townsend kids are doing just fine, or at least in their parents' eyes. Ryan, whenever he's done for the season, spends every single possible minute he can with his kids. Whether it be mentoring Lawrence and helping him break down film, taking his daughters shopping, or teaching his other son, Liam, how to be a great quarterback, he's all over it.

Lauren Townsend followed more towards her mother's footsteps and decided to be more involved with fashion. As a result, her sense of style is fantastic and she has an eye for many things in addition to fashion. However, though, she has also gained her mother's bratiness among other things as well. It's like Lauren is a mini Lila, only worse. Her attitude is pound-for-pound one of the worst among all teenagers ever.

Additionally, she has an unbelievable wit and sense of humor. She'll figure out a way to insult someone or make fun of something in a very short span of time. Her parents refuse to comment on who it's inherited from, but her father keeps implying it's all her mother.

Pippa has her own dreams about the future. Of course her dreams seem to change week to week, but for now she just wants to tour with her band, and make it big as a musician. She also has been thinking about studying philosophy, anthropology, archaeology, humanities, mythology, or art history when she goes to college, since she has to go to school at some point or her parents will disown her.

Acrophobia, Basophobia & Arachnophobia

Philippa's parents divorced when she was three years old. Custody was set up without any court battles, and so she lived mainly with her mother during the week, and her father on the weekends. Not that he was every fully around. He was to busy working, wooing, and campaigning. So weekends were spent mostly under the care of a nanny, or at a fancy schmancy daycare. Week days with her mom were a different story entirely, since her mother chose to work from home until Pippa turned five and started kindergarten. Days were spent at the beach, or baking, coloring, dancing and singing around their condo in Burbank. She was the flower girl at her father's wedding to Aurore. Much to her mothers displeasure little Pippa got along with Aurore rather well. When she was six Aurore urged Pippa into modeling, which was also something her mother was not a fan of.

She was seven years old when her little brother Oscar was born, and Pippa's fame as child model was reaching its peek. She was the cover model for Alalosha twice, walked for a dozen runway shows, and was becoming well known in the LA fashion world. When her mother got a new job in New York City there were lots of arguments over which parent she should live with full time. In the end Pippa moved across the country to the big apple with her mom. Custody changed to spending the summers in California at her fathers, and the rest of the year in Staten Island with her mother. She started school at Columbia Prep and started taking piano lessons at her mothers behest, this is where she discovered her love for music. She took up the drums later that year.

Her modeling career had been on hold while in NYC without Aurore's eager guidance and connections. It also abruptly ended when she was nine, after coming home from summer with her hair bleached blonde. Her mother was furious when she saw little Philippa's hair and eyebrows dyed. Needless to say the shit storm that followed resulted in a traumatic haircut, and her mother forbidding her to model ever again. Camilla was born a few months later, and Pippa's mother begrudgingly let her go to California for spring brake to meet her new baby sister.

Her mother started going out with a Rodney Diaz when Pippa was ten. He was a closeted alcoholic, and worked in IT at her mothers office. Pippa didn't take very well to her mom's new beau, and did her utmost to piss him off at every turn. She even squeezed packets of soy sauce into the keyboard of his laptop in an attempt to make him leave. But even with all her efforts at trying to brake them up, he still moved in six months later. Her mother was stupidly in love with the man. It baffled Pippa since all she could ascertain about Rodney was that he was a homophobic, loud mouth, know-it-all, with a obnoxious since of humor, and love of booze, football, and guns.

He came with baggage in the form of two delinquent teenage sons, a jealous ex-wife, and some megalomania. His sons Drew and Marcus were what Pippa would come to refer to as garbage humans. Drew was the older of the two. He enjoyed violence, and already had a record at fifteen. Marcus was a klepto with an obsession with knives. Thankfully the boys lived with their mother in Jersey, and Pippa was only stuck with them on the weekends. As close as she had been with her mother, Rodney Diaz was driving a wedge between them. Drew was scary but he treated Pippa like air, and spent the majority of his father's visitation time sneaking out or locked in his bedroom watching porn. Marcus on the other hand was thirteen and excelled at making Pippa feel small. He spent most of the weekend playing nice in front of the grown ups, but physically tormenting Pippa behind their backs.

Life went on and Pippa's love of music expanded. She spent the majority of her allowance on books, and stocking up on drumsticks since she kept braking them. Unlike her younger half siblings, and contrary to Rodney's opinions, Pippa was not growing up as privileged and indulged as Oscar and Camie were. Her mother mainly worked pro bono as a child advocacy lawyer, and even with the help of child support via Pippa's father, NYC rent wasn't cheap. Her mother's parenting philosophy was basically raising Pippa up to be a positive, free-thinking, independent feminist. Essentially this meant Pippa had to get straight A's for allowance, and to take drum lessons.

She started writing her own songs when she was eleven after taking up guitar. She spent countless hours writing songs about her friends, being a tween girl, and her feelings. If she was not hanging out with her friends, playing drums, or reading in her room, she was usually hiding out in her nook on the rooftop of her apartment building. Less time in the presents of Rodney and her infatuated mother the better. She won her school talent show two years in a row, and her passion for music exploded. When she entered middle school her mother got Pippa her first subway pass, and said as long as she was responsible, kept her grades A's, and was home before seven she had free rein.

Early puberty was tough on Pippa. Her small group of friends split up in seventh grade, leaving Pippa a loner for the rest of the year. Holly, and Kirby ditched her for lipstick, popularity, and boys. Ryan ended up snubbing her and hanging out with the delinquent kids. And Jerry decided that Pippa was not worth his time now that he lost the braces and baby fat. Socially Pippa had never been a shy one, most of her teachers would have described her as hyper, and loud. But middle school drama, popularity, and cliques were not kind to the thirteen year old drummer girl with shaggy blue hair, no boobs, and rainbow braces. Marcus also was becoming even more of an issue, and without friends houses to sleep over at on the weekends Marcus was home she was stuck with him.

Happily her mother broke up with Rodney once his drinking problem got so bad he was fired, and he refused rehab. He moved out and this brought harmony back to the house. Her mother even got her a kitten, as a strange way of apologizing for all the drama caused by Rodney, and the Diaz boys. Pippa named the fluffy black cat Onyx. 8th grade was all together better once she made friends with Clyde and Myra who moved into the apartment across from her. They were older by two years, but they let her tag along to concerts, and hangout with their other friends at the skate park.

Pippa was never the athletic type and gave up learning to skateboard after braking her arm. Two surgical pins and a series of florescent pink casts became her signature accessory for the year. Middle school came to an end and she was actually look forward to being a high schooler. Unfortunately both her parents decided without her knowledge that Pippa would attend their Alma Mater, BHHS, and live in Beverly Hills with her father. She got her cast and braces off just in time for the big move to LA. Living with her father and family full time was very different then the fun filled summers she had grown up with. Now there were rules, requirements, and expectations. The first things to be outlawed was her wacky colored hair. Two bottles of bleach resulted in a trip to Aurore's hair dresser after melting Pippa's blue hair into an green yellow mess. Thankfully she came out with her natural dark brown locks in the end.

Ninth grade at BHHS officially started, and she quickly became friends with a few other oblivious ninth graders. She even tried out for cheer-leading while trying to fit in with the crowed her father deemed acceptable. Yes she could do the splits, and had energy to spare but she was never meant to be a cheerleader. She ended up twisting her ankle and falling on top of the cheer captain. She seemed to be lacking in all this valley girl pep that was going around. Thankfully five months into ninth grade she became best friends with ____, and abruptly stopped trying so hard to be the posh society girl her father wanted her to be. She really missed New York for a long time. Even though she would be spending all her school brakes, and the whole summer there from now on, she still missed her friends, her bedroom, her mom, and her cat. The chill energy of LA was very different from the electric one of NYC.

The summer before tenth grade was one full of change. She spent it back in New York with her mom. Went to her first college party, and lost her virginity to Clyde on the rooftop of their building. It was a fleeting summer romance that ended as soon as she flew back to LA, and other then that she has yet to have another romantic relationship, unless you count a handful of one night stands. Tenth grade and most of this year Pippa has really come into her own, and is enjoying high school to the fullest. Unfortunately home life has taken a turn, after she accidentally eavesdropped on her fathers phone call, and found out he was taking bribes by keeping BHHS students records clean in turn for favors from their influential and wealthy parents. And then she learned her mother is getting back together with the bastard Rodney.

Welcome to the Sunshine Diner can I take your order? We don't have any of that!

Cosmic Entity Disguised As Artist-Slash-Musician-Slash-Quirkster-Slash-Theater Kid

According to the physical and medical exam that seems to be a mandatory thing, Parker is four foot eight though she believes she should be able to round up to a solid five flat. Who would really know the difference? As far as anyone is concerned, Parker's height is just 'weirdly short' which is par for the course considering weird about sums up anyone who so much as spends ten seconds around Parker. On most days, Parker dresses like she got lost on her way out of middle school. Denim overalls. Brightly colored shirts of yellow and pink and baby blue with shorts that are either too short or too baggy. Stickers on her face of fruits or stars, glitter residue in her makeup, even a red hair clip to contain her frizzy blonde hair.

If someone were to use any word to describe Parker based purely on appearance, it would likely be 'childish' though she prefers to call it 'style'. She has a certain confidence about her not just in her young sense of 'style' but in how she quite literally doesn't seem to let anything bother her. It's easy for people to say they don't care what people think, but Parker exudes that from every pore and even when faced with mockery or insults she always has a smile.

It's almost hard to imagine that her mother is who she is, but then anyone who knew Parker's mother knows that Parker is more like her than they think.

Dreams are sleeping! I guess I dream that one day I can talk to my mom! No, silly, my other mom, not my mom-mom. The mom I don't have! Oh! Also I want someone to go on dates with! They look so fun on the flat square! Also! Also! I want people to clap for me! Like, on a stage! That would be so cool! But right now I'm dreaming of a REALLY BIG CHEESEBURGER which you can get AT THE SUNSHINE DINER! I promise not to bite it before bringing it to your table!

That one day everyone she cared about, no matter how small a care it was, will leave her alone. It's already pretty much coming true given her rather small circle of genuine friends and the situation with her mom. She can't help how she is, but people tend to act like she's putting on an act and that has the effect of Parker having a difficulty making lasting connections. And that upsets her. She doesn't want to wake up one day and realize she has no one in her life.

Also bees. They suck.

The way Parker tells it, she wasn't exactly born so much as she was willed into existence by the great cosmic coincidence, and by that point in the conversation eyes are rolling and people are regretting even asking but it's not as if she's wrong, given her recollection of events. No one really remembers their birth, but Parker does remember that a hospital was not where she was born. There's people who suggest that babies remember white and smiling faces, but Parker just remembers feeling cold for the first few periods of her still brief existence.

It didn't take much for a young Parker to know that the woman who raised her and called herself mother was not her birth mother. For one thing, Parker was a pale, Caucasian blonde while her mother was, well, not. Still, Parker didn't have any trouble calling this woman mom, even if she wasn't around as often as Parker would've liked. When Parker was entering double digits, she assumed it was because her mom was ashamed of her, but after voicing these concerns in a tear-filled heart to heart, Parker learned the truth. Her mother, given the nature of her career, had commitments to keep, but she always made time for Parker. Parker's mom was determined to keep her child out of the public eye, because no child needed the paparazzi and media up their throat before they could even consent to anything.

Having an internationally famous musician as a parent can be kind of cool sometimes.

When news hit that rap star and activist Maya Lin, birthname Mackenzie, known as Kenzi Lin to peers, had a child and said child was going to be attending Beverly Hills High School, stories were swapped around about what the child might be like. Of course some were quite aware of what Kenzie was like during her time at the school, how she was a troublemaker and delinquent who once showed the entire audience of students and parents her bare top during an accident at a talent show - so some assumed her child would follow in those massive footsteps. It's been two years since the announcement and students and fans have written the news off as a hoax. Very, very few students actually know the truth. THe truth that Kenzi Lin and her former partner (messy divorce, best not to ask) adopted a baby and named her Parker.

Parker Ashford's real name is Parker Lin, but Kenzi told her to go by a different last name so she could suss out who was legit and who was just trying to befriend the child of a celebrity. Parker assumed she'd be unique in that regard, having a famous parent, but then she's not alone in that regard in the halls of BHHS. It's still a good means of finding those who like her for her rather than pretend to like her because they're a fan of her mother.

Parker isn't living in the shadow of her mother's fame. Far from it. She is very much her own person. As a child, Parker learned guitar from Kenzi and though Parker doesn't play as much anymore, she still knows how to pluck the strings; she's much more a fan of singing and being on the stage which is why she's trying to break into the performance scene, be it via music or acting. She's never acted before, but the way people tell it her entire life is one big act so how hard could it possibly be?

Parker has a good singing voice, which is why she's called The Little Siren - that and it's a callback to her mother's nickname (albeit unknowingly for the majority) which was The Siren of BHHS.

Her Mother. Kenzie Lin, now known worldwide as Maya Lin, is a rapper based out of both America and Korea. She achieved stardom on the strength of her rhymes, which dealt with the world as she saw it, her feelings of inadequacy given her heritage, and prejudices. She's become something of a known quantity with people who are fans of her style of music. Kenzi/Maya, when she isn't touring, writing, doing photo shoots, or flipping off cameras, is a known activist and icon within the LGBT community. She adopted Parker but has remained really sketchy with the circumstances of it all. Parker loves her all the same.

Sav's hair is her most noteworthy feature, a trait passed down from her redheaded mother and blonde father. The gorgeous red color is completely natural and although many have tried to recreate it, no one has truly succeeded. It's length resembles that of a mermaid, and she enjoys styling it in numerous ways. It's her best accessory and best asset. Savvy stands at 5’4” and weighs roughly 130 pounds.

Sav has a certain southern charm that inherently draws people to her. She could attribute this to the slight twang she has in her voice from all the years in Texas, or her contagious smile, but it is her courteous nature and warm soul that makes it easy for her to connect with others, and for others to connect with her. Her manners are impeccable, making her the perfect girl to take home to mom and dad. Savvy can be described as nurturing and accepting and is the friend you go to when you are in dire need of assistance. Being so loyal, it is her goal to focus on other's happiness, which sometimes proves an issue as she forgets her own needs and wants along the way. She's incredibly affectionate and craves the affection of others or at least some validation that they enjoy spending time with her. As someone who floats around different groups at Beverly Hills High, her laughter floats through the hallways as she is never in the same place twice, but with no set friend group, it can get a little lonely at times.

Sav has a few places she sees herself going in life. One route is modeling, a passion she discovered shortly after moving to Beverly Hills. She was an absolute natural in front of the camera at her first modeling job, and many people, including her father, believe this could be a very lucrative career opportunity for her. Another passion she has is writing. She’s not exactly sure what type, since she enjoys both writing literature as well as journalistic features, but she wants a profession where she can use her creativity every day. Either one of these careers would be a dream for her, as long as she is happy.

Sav’s greatest fear is ending up alone in life or being alone in general. She’s afraid of having no one to rely on and no one to turn to when things get hard. She is endlessly afraid of people deserting her or dissapearing, probably something having to do with her mother leaving her father so abruptly with no reason why. She hates the feeling of being trapped with no one to lean on, so she tries to surround herself with as many different people as possible.

Savannah was born and raised by a single mother and her grandma in Hico, Texas (pronounced (HIGH-co), just outside of Dallas. It was a small town with a big heart and a signature motto “Where everybody is somebody”. Your neighbors were probably related to you in some way, and on the way to the supermarket, you would probably pass by at least five of your close friends. It was a joyful and quaint little town, and no one ever seemed to leave. A country girl through and through with the cowboy boots to show it, Savannah was perfectly content in her small little world, and had no intentions of changing anything.

As a child, Savvy didn’t give many questions to why she didn’t have a father. To her, her mother was a superhero and didn’t need anyone’s help to fight her battles. But every year at their church’s annual father/daughter dance, she’d watch longingly as every other little girl paraded around with their dad, and every year it hurt more and more. At age 14, Sav approached her mother with a simple request: A name. All she wanted was proof that her father truly did exist. Her mother, knowing this day was inevitable, sat the teenager down and gave her what she wanted, and a little bit more.

Not only did she give her a name, but she also gave her a stack of photographs, as well as a phone number. Savannah learned that her father was named Jackson Harper, and was a famous and respected producer out in the Beverly Hills area. Sav’s mother, Leanne, tried to make it as an actress in California, but instead of work, she found Jackson, and they had a short-lived relationship. Leanne never told him about the baby, since he had so much on his plate, and she moved back to Hico to live with her mother, leaving him only a note and no other trace of her being there. Immediately after this conversation, Sav made contact with her father, who was shocked to hear he had a daughter, and they scheduled to meet the next month. It was overwhelming and exciting at the same time.

Savannah and Jackson hit it off immediately. They shared some of the same passions, had many of the same mannerisms, and even discovered they had a mutual dislike for cherry flavored candies. It was something out of a fairytale. Over the next couple of years, they kept in touch, talking on the phone every other day, and texting whenever they could. She would travel to LA for school vacation, and he would come to Hico for Thanksgiving and Easter. Sav was thrilled to finally have a father figure in her life, but there was once again a piece missing.

For Christmas her Sophomore year of High School, she asked for something major: to move to Beverly Hills and complete her high school education there in the presence of her father. Her mother, albeit a bit shocked, obliged, knowing that this was what her daughter had truly wanted for many years, as well as her father would take great care of her. Sav could tell that she was breaking her mother's heart slightly by picking up and moving, but she believed it was the right thing to do. The following June, right after her 17th birthday and the summer before her Junior year, she packed her bags and moved in with her father, starting a new life on the West Coast.

The transition was not easy by any means. Beverly Hills was a complete 180 from Hico, and Sav didn't expect for it to be as difficult as it was. The redhead was plucked from her small town roots and thrown into the glamorous city life, and most of the time she felt like a complete fish out of water. At first, she thought she had made the wrong decision by moving in with her father, not believing she was cut out for this type of life. But over time, she adjusted and began making things work in her new surroundings, trading in her cowboy boots for heels, and her modest wardrobe to the latest trends.

After being scouted by one of her father's friends, she jumpstarted her modeling career, which was a big step in her happiness, but also slowly became a major stressor. Even though it is a career that she loves, there are parts of it that are less appealing and glamorous. A highly competitive industry, Sav tries her best not to crack under pressure but feels as though it may be starting to get to her. She wants to make everyone happy, including her father, but at the same time, she is realizing that she is losing parts of herself that she used to love. Mentally, her carefree and spontaneous nature has vanished, and physically, she has become incredibly conscientious about how others perceive her. Burying these feelings under a bright smile, Sav tries incredibly hard not to let these thoughts show to her classmates and especially her father, which is why she tends to float from group to group, as a way to only let people in skin deep.

Well Known Drama Star

Shauna is confident in subtle ways, from the way she walks to the way she seems so effortlessly fearless in approaching and communicating with others. Chalk it up to her theater background, but Shauna has a fierceness that matches her style, which can best be summed up as 'mid femme'. Her hair, medium length but frequently changing in cut, is light auburn in color that meshes well with her vibrant, bright green eyes. Shauna's on the taller side of the spectrum, just shy of six-one, and that height only serves to enhance her own personal sense of aesthetic. Shauna is going for a look and with her penchant for vests, slacks, long pants, and jackets she's certainly succeeded at it.

If her appearance wasn't strong enough, due to her heritage she speaks with a near constant Irish brogue. She doesn't sound like some cereal leprechaun, but the cool Celtic tilt to her speaking gives a sort of worldly vibe - and that she can turn it off for acting or turn it on for a critical flirting whisper in the ear is a testament to her love of performance.

When she was a Freshman her goal was to simply get through the year without getting thrown in a locker or knocked to the ground. In sophomore year, after coming to terms with herself over summer, she strode into school with a new attitude and a goal of filling out a 'little black book'. Entering her senior year it's shocking how many names have been added into it and still how many more there are to go. Of course, that's not her goal in life, just one of her little personal school wishes - the only one yet unfilled as 'star in the lead role in a play' has been done two years in a row. If Shauna were to have any dream it would be to win a Tony award or have a one woman show - although a one woman show behind the scenes is a bad night as far as she's concerned.

Of course, with her overly familiar ways, Shauna would like someone to turn her into a one woman kind of gal, but so far none have been interesting or enticing enough.

Some might argue that Shuana has gamophobia, or fear of commitment, but that would be a gross miscalculation and misunderstanding of why Shauna has been rather adept at 'hitting it and quitting it'. She doesn't have a fear of commitment or even love, but it's not that far off to say she has a fear of inadequacy. That she won't be good enough, be it for partners or for herself, and by keeping her romantic partners at arm's length, they can't be disappointed when the night after intimacy Shauna barely remembers them.

Shauna could also do with fewer rodents in the world.

Shauna grew up practically in the back of a motor vehicle and surrounded by people she deemed to be insane, but in a cool sort of way. Blame it on her mother, a single parent whose job involved traveling made for interesting adult figures in her formative years. It wasn't until her mother was forced to step down from her post that a normal homelife awaited, but by that point Shauna was about ready to start entering those rebellious years.

Rebellion hit Shauna a bit differently. She had been something of a quiet girl considering she didn't have many friends and swapped schools about as frequently as she swapped 'girlfriends', and found solace in books and film. THey allowed her to pretend. If there was one benefit about growing up around those who had a unique take on the performing arts, it was that she knew how to play a character...in theory.

With the stability of an actual home and parent, Shauna entered her Freshman year feeling positive, until the then-awkward, quiet, weird girl sat alone at lunch and didn't know what it meant that thoughts of the girl in algebra entered her mind at an alarming frequency. It was, as it so often was, literature that helped her. She didn't have the best connection with her mom and that sort of conversation seemed a bit too heavy for their normal interactions of "How was school?" and "Did you find a job, mother?". It wasn't until the summer after her Freshman year that Shauna had the courage to bring it up to her mother, who wound up being supportive and somewhat understanding. "Growing up around impossibly fit people had to do somethin' to yer sense of desire, right?"

Shauna entered her sophomore year basically a different person. She was confident and charming, had owned puberty rather hard, and carried herself enough to break out of the weird loner kid shell she had fostered. Of course, it helped that Shauna had, technically, a background in theater with which to facilitate this sort of character portrayal. Funny thing about a character is that it starts to become second nature if one performs it regularly.

By the time her junior year rolled around, Shauna had become who she was pretending to be a year ago: a genuine leading lady in her own right that also charmed the every loving shit out of others - particularly Freshman and Sophomores who really saw her as a cool, attractive upperclassman. And she reveled in the attention - and in so doing brought more interest to the drama department which had become her stomping grounds.

Now a senior, there are few who haven't at least heard about 'The Leading Lady Killer' if not by appearance than by reputation. And hell, word is her performance in Lady Windemere's Fan was to die for.

Dana Flynn is her mother. Dana Flynn was, at one point in time, the on-screen general manager for the AWE, which meant she was on the road with wrestlers even with her newborn child out of a desire to do well at the job. Dana was just an insurance salesman before she got scouted to be a wrestling manager who wound up upselling herself to a position of power within the organization. A credit to her tactics, if nothing else, and Shauna certainly learned much from both her mother and the roster. Just not exactly the right kind of things.
