⋄ A P P E A R A N C EDivine is a slender black woman, standing at five feet seven inches tall and weighing in at a little over one-hundred thirty pounds. Her skin is beautifully dark, darker than any glancing touch of the sun could ever produce. Her soft-curled, shoulder length hair is dense but yielding, and thick enough to lose your fingers in. Although having a head full of hair, Vine prefers to wear her hair in protective styles (braids, weaves, wigs, etc.), which allow her hair to grow healthier. She'll usually wear a bone-straight, waist length wig. There's a certain elegance in the way that Vine carries herself: good posture, long confident strides and her head held high. She often looks taller than her height of 5"7 considering that she's always wearing heels when she has a choice.
Her eyes are large and almond shaped, the brown of the iris so dark that it almost appears to be black. Her eyes are fringed with long, thick lashes. Her lips are full and always covered with a clear lip gloss. When smiling, you can see that she has two rows of perfectly white teeth, a slight overbite present. Vine often finds herself applying a full face of makeup before class, therefore enhancing her natural beauty.
When it comes to her fashion sense, Vine always dresses to impress. Her wardrobe consists of stunning pantsuits, dresses, blouses, and a large number of heels and boots. She likes to look her best everyday, and usually spends about two hours each morning making sure that there's nothing out of place. It's rare to see her in a state of disarray as she believes that she should always look prepared and presentable, especially when she's the most frazzled. When it comes to jewelry, Divine doesn't like to be flashy; she'll usually just stick to a large pair of hoop earrings, along with a matching necklace and rings.┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈⋄ Extroverted Introvert ⋄ Creative ⋄ Mouth of a Sailor ⋄ Self-Critical ⋄ Stubborn ⋄ Venturesome ⋄
⋄ P E R S O N A L I T YIf you had to describe Divine in one word, most people would choose terms along the lines of "intelligent", "free-spirited" or "witty". An extroverted introvert, Divine loves to chat with people (unless she's having a bad day, in which case she'll lean towards negativity and passive-aggression), make others laugh, and tends to be genuinely friendly. She is also very creative, especially when it comes to making films, and craves adventure, thrills, and new things. A generally optimistic, upbeat person, Vine is the sort of person to chat with anyone and everyone whether it be on public transport, in shops, or even on the street. Like most extroverted introverts, however, alone time is still necessary for Divine to function, and she can’t be with people for excessive amounts of time without feeling drained. Divine is a seemingly calm and laid-back girl, yet is by no means a pushover. She can more than take care of herself, but is smart enough to know when to pick a fight and when to let something go. She is someone who isn't weighed down by the troubles of everyday life, is not restricted by other people's opinions, and is always herself regardless of the situation. She is more connected to her inner world than the world outside, is very creative, and hates feeling restricted.
While trying her best to be as unoffensive as possible, Vine isn't too keen on keeping her opinions to herself. She loves a good debate, and generally joins in arguments whenever they crop up around her. Despite this small setback, her nature is not competitive. She doesn't really dislike anyone who does better than her at whatever the subject because she aims for self-improvement and beating personal records more than anything else. Her work-ethic was carefully installed by her father's no-nonsense parenting. She was raised in a household where it was essential to maintain a healthy body and mind; her father made sure that she focused on setting and achieving her own personal goals. She excelled in school, ate healthy, and exercised daily. Even now that she is an adult, she still finds it hard to get out of the habit of walking a couple of miles everyday or avoiding extra sugary snacks.
Vine is confident in herself and her actions, often to a fault. She is very self-critical, has trouble asking for help, and hates admitting when she's wrong. When things don't go as she planned or in a positive direction, she can get frustrated very easily. Divine also has a bit of a "potty mouth," and uses profanity even when she isn't trying to. She also has a lot of trouble controlling her temper, and whenever someone pushes her to her limit, she'll snap; it will often result in her yelling a large number of obscene words, throwing objects, and even going as far as to get physical. Despite all of her shortcomings, there's no denying that Divine is usually kind and dependable. If you ask her to meet you somewhere, she will be there; if she promises to do something, she will do it; if you ask her for help, she will do everything in her power to assist.┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈

Divine was born and raised in the slums of Chicago. She was an only child, a product of an unexpected and unwanted teen pregnancy. Despite being deemed "not ready" to raise a kid by her family, Divine's mother still brought her "bundle of joy" into this world. After just two long years of motherhood, however, Divine's mother had reached her breaking point. After being forced to move into her baby father's place and fend for herself (and her newborn), her mother had much trouble affording clothes, diapers, and food for her child. Divine's father dropped out of high school and got a job, but it still wasn't enough to support all three of them. Long story short, the parents decided to put their baby girl up for adoption, and not much later, she was taken in by a Dominican foster family from the South Side. There she lived with her foster parents and five older "siblings."
Growing up, Divine was always very independent and ambitious. In elementary school, she was often recognized and rewarded for her academic and social achievements. Her foster parents were both high school teachers, and pushed for Divine to partake in numerous activities: piano lessons, basketball, spelling bees, volunteer work, etc. From the age of seven, Divine always knew that she was a foster kid, but had no great desire of meeting her birth parents. However, that did not stop her from figuring out who they were and digging up as much information about them as she could. She took many trips to the area at which she was born, the neighborhood not too far from her own, and even visited the high school she would have attended had the couple decided to keep her.
Before her first year of high school, Divine's foster dad got a job promotion which resulted in him and his wife moving to California. Divine and the five other foster kids were separated once more and placed into new foster homes. Vine ended up living with a verbally abusive single mother until she turned eighteen; after pushing through high school while consistently maintaining an A average, Divine went to Pennbrooke University on a basketball scholarship to major in Film and Video, and minor in African-American Studies so that she could get a better understanding of her history. Not being used to living in down sotuh, Divine immediately felt out of place within the state of Mississippi. For a long time she missed the commotion of the city, her friends back home, and even the stray cat she used to feed on her walk to class everyday. This changed as time went on once she began to make more friends and connections within the university. She pledged Omega Psi Phi sorority as a way to form sisterly bonds, something she's never had the pleasure of experiencing.┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈

▔▔▔▔▔▔▔✽Ash is not particularly eye-catching which, in reality, is an annoyance to her. Bleached blonde hair settles around her pretty but vague-looking face, hair dyed enough to give it the texture of sandpaper and the eternal smell of chemicals and sunlight. Her skin is soft though usually covered up with natural-looking makeup, which works to hide her countless stress-made blemishes and a single pocked scar that sits on the bridge of her nose. The most striking thing about Ashely may indeed be her eyes, which are a light gray and always accented with false eyelashes and a gentle shimmering eyeshadow.
She stands at a meager 5'3" and is not inclined to tell anyone of her weight, though many can come to the conclusion that she may be a little too thin for her height. If she is self-conscious of that, however, it is impossible to tell, as she always layers on clothes in a style deemed fashionable by most Californians these days. Ashley is incredibly caught up on the latest fashion trends and it shows pleasantly through her simple but attractive outfits. Besides a mere sense of style, Ash also has an array of trendy piercings and small, hidden tattoos that appear to be written in Korean.
Without the makeup and without the always blown-out hair and well-suited outfits and jubilant, airy personality, Ash looks like an exhausted and almost sickly pre-teen. She spends near hours fixing herself up before leaving for the day, but those who catch her before she's had her coffee or a shower may be shocked at how disheveled she looks at home.

| Jubilant | Lazy | Selfish | Free-Spirited | Dizty | Self-Loathing | Intelligent | Unmotivated | Nihilistic |Ashley is a party girl, through and through. Living in San Fransico and experiencing the overwhelming push to fit in with her girl squad back home inspired Ash to adopt a very jubilant, eccentric, and ditzy persona. She thrives off of the nightlife and has the most energy when she is out surrounded by other bodies in a huge, sweating mass of life, love, and bad decisions. She is cheery to a fault at night, even in times of dire stress, she can be found smiling and laughing as if it were just another moment in her life. If she is not partying at night, she can be found popping Xanax in her room and jittering about, either doing homework at an uncomfortably fast rate or dancing to strange, thumping music. There is never silence with Ashley around, she will always fill with with conversation, laughter, or music in some way.
To others, Ashley is undeniably sweet but she has a habit of coming off as a bit naive, or ditzy, or just plain unaware. Some of her comments can even come across as cruel if taken the wrong way, which they most often are.
This usually occurs during the day, however, where her energy is low and she can often be at her most lazy and daydreamy. Watching her walk around campus during the day is akin to watching a turtle cross a freeway– undeniably impressive, but somehow discomforting. Ashley during the day is almost like a completely different person, losing her usual jubilance in order to adopt a sort of selfish sleepiness that stays with her until the sun goes back down.
Despite her lack of motivation during the day, Ash still possesses a decent amount of intelligence, which help her out well during exam season. Though her homework is often unfinished, she manages to study her concepts enough to remember them, and she does take a great interest in her major and minor. However, she has a habit of being rather self-destructive and holds a firm belief that life is really meaningless past all of the immediate pleasures she can gain through pills, alcohol, and companionship. She feeds her vices endlessly in order to avoid a real fear that her life may lead up to being nothing after all.

▔▔▔▔▔▔▔✽Ashley Dae Han is the first and only daughter born to Jung and Soon. Though she was born in Ulsan, Korea, the family moved out to San Francisco after some issues with Ash's grandparents. She grew up surrounded by varying cultures and languages, and she toddled through her first twelve years of life with excellent grades, many friends, and incredibly pleased parents. Once she entered middle school, however, Ashley found that her friends and their interests were shifting towards boys, fashion, and the ideological obsessions of the trends happening above them. And Ashely, ever the follower, trailed after them to avoid getting lost in a sea of mindless children.
She went from a straight A student to a C-, wavering between passing and failing most classes that weren't related to the sciences. Her interests toggled daily; sometimes she was focused on teen movies and TV drama,s other time shes was lost int he pages of a fashion magazine, studying the way the women on the glossy pages posed and walked in heels taller than her front steps. Maybe she thought her parents wouldn't notice, or they wouldn't care. Maybe there was a quiet hope in her, saying that this was just a phase and her parents would be proud of her once again. Maybe she was using "maybe" too often in her journal.
Eventually, when her grades were a threat to her time in middle school and early on in high school, the fights began. Screaming matches between Ashley and her folks became a daily norm for the Han's, and even passing each other in the halls was enough to start another argument. Ash began spending less time at home, relying on clubs and parties to keep her mind off of her parents' points. She drank and danced and learned to love the way neon lights bounced off sleek walls and glittering shoes and latex mini skirts. Popularity belonged to her in high school, but she was close to flunking out due to her plummeting grades. Eventually, her parents came to her with a final a decision to make: fix your grades and go to college, or flunk out and be sent off to live with her grandparents in Korea.
And, finally, Ashley could not argue any longer.
She fixed her grades, managed to lift her horrendous GPA to a 2.7, and sent out countless college applications to surrounding schools. Not one college in California accepted her, but the single school her parents had picked out, some hockey little place in Mississippi, seemed more than ready to have her. And so Ashley went off, depressed to leave her partying life behind... That is until she discovered the wonderful allure of the Omega Psi Phi sorority.

▶ Full Name:
Choua Danielle Vang.

None really, Choua is short enough.
▶ Age:
Twenty One.
▶ Gender:
Female.
▶ Sexual Orientation:
Heterosexual.
▶ Classification:
Big Sister: Senior.
▶ Major:
Music Production.
▶ Minor:
Dance.
▶ In Depth Appearance:
Choua is of Hmong descent giving her a nice soft tan all year round. She has dark brown eyes and originally wavy black hair that she lightens to various brown tones. It gives her hair a bit more life than to have it be the usual jet black. She is petite, standing at around 5ft tall and weighs around 110lbs. Her clothing is very urban and comfortable. Her mother and father would say she dresses very sloppily, but everything has been planned to look as such. She wears makeup daily, and is rarely seen in public without it. She has no tattoos yet and just very basic lobe piercings on each ear.
▶ Likes:
- Shades of black, grey, and white.
- Home cooking.
- Dancing.
- Smoking hookah.
- Staying up to date with today's fashion.
- Cooking big meals for her sorority sisters.
- Youtube tutorials.
- Hot tea with lemon and lots and lots of honey.
- Getting her hair and nails done.
▶ Dislikes:

- Spending too much money.
- Being center of attention.
- Still getting lectured by her parents.
- Not having her drivers license.
- Mississippi heat and humidity.
- Some of the traditions in her culture.
▶ Habits:
- Tapping her nails on things while she waits.
- Texting with too many emojis and exclamation marks.
- Eating late at night.
▶ Hobbies:
- Smoking.

- Has told her parents that she is going for a nursing degree.
▶ Personality Traits:
Reliable. Easy Going. Optimistic. Silly. Dramatic. Self Abusive. Liar. Pushover.
▶ Personality:
A friend in need is a friend indeed! This saying applies to Choua in many shapes and forms. When you need her, she will be there. She is the type to sit with you at any hour of the night in case you need someone to talk to, or a shoulder to cry on. Willing to do about anything if asked, she doesn't have very strong leadership skills or ability to command anyone to do anything. One to look on the bright side of the things, and lets you know that tomorrow will be a better day. She'll make damn sure of it. She enjoys making people laugh, talking with anyone that approaches her and being involved with extra-curricular activities along with the sorority parties and drama.
However silly and carefree Choua appears to be, she often has moments of self doubt and self depreciation. Her parents had held a very tight leash on her during her entire youth. They want her to follow a traditional lifestyle in the Hmong culture, which she feels is a bit over the top. She hopes one day she can find a simple balance between the two. So far, the scales are very tipped.
▶ Hometown:
Jackson, Mississippi. Born and raised.
▶ History:
Plaub hau ntxhov thiaj yuav zuag los ntsis
Plaub ntug ntxhov thiaj yuav txwj laus los lis.
Tangled hair, use a comb to unsnarl it,
Complicated dispute, use an elder to solve it.
Choua had been raised under a traditional Hmong American household. One that dictates you do as your parents say, as they have done as their parents have told them. Originally from Thailand, Choua's family came to America before Choua was even born. They settled in a community in Jackson, Mississippi. Her father works at a corporate office and her mother stays at home doing the cooking, cleaning, and raising of Choua's two younger sisters; currently aged 13 and 5. They lived a middle class lifestyle, in a small 3 bedroom home. Choua isn't very close to her parents, and looks to them as regulations and rules rather than guidance and friendship. It doesn't hurt that they are paying for her entire ride through college.
School is a serious thing for Choua, her parents expected her to do the very best that she was capable of, and then exceed that point. Her parents believe she is there to become a doctor or a nurse or a lawyer. Choua actually had eyes on the art scene- music, fashion, dance, movies. Something that was considered a "stupid dream" and a "waste of time and money". So she's lying to her parents about her entire college education.
She has a longing to one day tell her parents about her activities but knows that it might be a catastrophic event when she does, they do know that she is in a sorority- but they believe that it is a special one for the smartest and most elite girls on campus. While some of that may be true, it is not what it seems. Choua loves her sisters in the sorority and is excited to welcome the new members this upcoming rush week. She wants to encourage the little sisters to follow their dreams and have some fun while their at it!
|"You just leave it to me, I won't let you down."|| Rosalinda Mae Connelly
| Best known as Rose| 22| Female| Straight| Big Sister Senior| Business Finance| Music
| Standing at a slightly above average height of five feet seven inches, Rose's most notable trait is her long, fiery red hair.
She has pale skin and sports a thin, willowy frame with long limbs and few curves. Her large, dark brown eyes give her a rather innocent look, her long nose and lips giving her an elegant look. She takes very good care of herself, her hair is almost always done, nails manicured, and blemish free. She leans towards what she calls a 'simply classy' state of dress, her wardrobe consisting of simple pieces that she likes to dress up or down with accessories. Heels are her absolute favorite, though her sunglasses collection is a very close second, both often being brand name despite the rest of her clothes being whatever she got for a bargain. She has no tattoos as she's much too chicken to get one, though she does have two ear piercings on both ears, the second hole almost always sporting a stud. There's a rather thin, mostly unnoticeable scar on her left shoulder.

♥ Cleaning is meditative for her.
♥ Watches trashy soap operas and has zero shame about it.
♥ Classical music, she has been playing the violin since she was a child.
♥ Loves dressing people up.
♥ She's a big fan of playing Solitaire and has it downloaded on her phone.
♥ Keeping her grades up and having all her schoolwork done.
♥ Having her special, decorated pens, notebooks, stationary, and binders to keep herself perfectly organized.| x Gets extremely nervous around scissors
x Dislikes dirt, mud, dust...anything dirty or messy in general.

x Greasy food that could stain her clothes.
x People who put her sisters down.
x People who don't value friendships.
x Talking about herself.
x Talking about her own feelings.
x Her father.
| ○ Likes to repeat words for emphasis. Emphasis!
○ Shopping therapy is her coping mechanism when she gets stressed.
○ Tapping her pencil against a surface as well as continuously clicking and unclicking a pen. It's incredibly annoying.
| ○ Practices the violin frequently.
○ Has an orchid she likes to tend to and take care of.
○ Swimming is a joy for her.
| x People finding out about her father.
x Scissors.
x The feeling of getting too close to someone, she's too paranoid to completely put her trust in anyone.| - Her fear of scissors is actually more severe than she lets on, as getting stabbed by a pair traumatized her to the point she has difficulties getting a haircut and seeing someone with a pair in their hand is enough to spark a panic attack in her.
- That she is not her father's daughter. Finding out the truth of her family completely shattered her, she hasn't spoken to her mother in years and blames her entirely for her neurotic tendencies.
| Rose comes off as a very straightforward person. She has no issues offering her opinion on a matter, and is generally open minded, making her easy to talk to. She has a rather positive deposition, an optimistic view on nearly everything, and likes to look for the silver linings in even the worst situations. Having an eye for detail, she picks up on the little things, and is welcoming to whoever seeks her out. Polite and usually keeping a calm head, she weaponizes her perfectionism to make sure that she always gets what is needed to be done and does whatever it takes to exceed expectations. She will never let you down, even the idea of disappointing someone makes her always put in her total effort. As a result she is quick to help out those in need.
Still, she puts a lot of pressure on herself even if she is told to take it easy. Despite her warm and gentle nature, she seems to avoid opening up to people even though she likes it when people confide in her. Her tendency to keep people at a distance is somewhat contradictory, often confusing people, and she has a lot of trouble expressing her emotions. She also forces herself to never let people know she's struggling, often refusing to ask for help even when she's overwhelmed. There's also the fact that she cannot put her full trust in anyone, and more often then not ends up pushing people away even though she craves their attention.
| Born and raised in Crystal City, Virginia
| Born the second child to Marianne and Henry, Rose was the little girl the couple had desired after having their first son, George. They had gotten their wish of having one boy and one girl, and were perfectly content with their nuclear family. For the most part they lived comfortably, with Henry going out of his way to spoil his family with vacations and presents whenever he could. As Rose reached elementary school, a lot of other people noticed she didn't very much look like the rest of her family. While both her parents and brother were also tall, their complexion was more towards fair, with rounder faces and features, as well as their darker hair. At first it was just seen as one of those rarities, as Marianne's mother was a blonde, but as Rose got older she looked less and less like her family.
When Rose was fourteen, she caught her father in her room. He avoided her questions, and she brushed the incident off. It wasn't until later that night that she realized her hairbrush was missing, though it mysteriously turned up the next day. Weeks later, her parents began getting into multiple arguments, and while at first they avoided getting heard by the children, it became apparent that they were escalating. They refused to tell their kids why they were fighting, although it seemed Henry was getting angrier the more that time passed.
George ignored it for the most part, but Rose was troubled. For some reason she couldn't shake the feeling that they were fighting about her, especially since her father grew rather distant from her. One day, her mother was giving Rose a haircut when Henry came in screaming. The two got into a shouting match, though it escalated far too quickly and resulting in a physical fight. The memory and events happened so quickly, but the one thing Rose can't forget was the image of her father grabbing her by her hair and the sharpness of the scissors in her left shoulder. The shock seemed to get to her, though the next thing she knew she was in the hospital, catatonic. It took a long time for her to even process what happened, but even then she didn't understand. What did she do? Why did her father hate her? Why was he so angry with her?
It wouldn't be until years later that she found out the truth. When Marianne and Henry were trying to conceive a second child, they struggled, going so far as getting fertility treatments, but Marianne couldn't get pregnant again. For one reason of another, she carried out an affair with a coworker of hers, which resulted in Rose. Rose herself was completely disgusted with her mother, moving out of her home and living with her older brother until she graduated high school. She decided for college that she would go out of state in an effort to distance herself from her family, desperately wanting to get away from the place she once called home. She has found solace in Omega Psi Phi, hoping she can get through college and start her life.
Good. No catfights need to happen. Yet.
I'm comin' for that VP spot.

Her eyes are large and almond shaped, the brown of the iris so dark that it almost appears to be black. Her eyes are fringed with long, thick lashes. Her lips are full and always covered with a clear lip gloss. When smiling, you can see that she has two rows of perfectly white teeth, a slight overbite present. Vine often finds herself applying a full face of makeup before class, therefore enhancing her natural beauty.
When it comes to her fashion sense, Vine always dresses to impress. Her wardrobe consists of stunning pantsuits, dresses, blouses, and a large number of heels and boots. She likes to look her best everyday, and usually spends about two hours each morning making sure that there's nothing out of place. It's rare to see her in a state of disarray as she believes that she should always look prepared and presentable, especially when she's the most frazzled. When it comes to jewelry, Divine doesn't like to be flashy; she'll usually just stick to a large pair of hoop earrings, along with a matching necklace and rings.┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈⋄ Extroverted Introvert ⋄ Creative ⋄ Mouth of a Sailor ⋄ Self-Critical ⋄ Stubborn ⋄ Venturesome ⋄
⋄ P E R S O N A L I T YIf you had to describe Divine in one word, most people would choose terms along the lines of "intelligent", "free-spirited" or "witty". An extroverted introvert, Divine loves to chat with people (unless she's having a bad day, in which case she'll lean towards negativity and passive-aggression), make others laugh, and tends to be genuinely friendly. She is also very creative, especially when it comes to making films, and craves adventure, thrills, and new things. A generally optimistic, upbeat person, Vine is the sort of person to chat with anyone and everyone whether it be on public transport, in shops, or even on the street. Like most extroverted introverts, however, alone time is still necessary for Divine to function, and she can’t be with people for excessive amounts of time without feeling drained. Divine is a seemingly calm and laid-back girl, yet is by no means a pushover. She can more than take care of herself, but is smart enough to know when to pick a fight and when to let something go. She is someone who isn't weighed down by the troubles of everyday life, is not restricted by other people's opinions, and is always herself regardless of the situation. She is more connected to her inner world than the world outside, is very creative, and hates feeling restricted.
While trying her best to be as unoffensive as possible, Vine isn't too keen on keeping her opinions to herself. She loves a good debate, and generally joins in arguments whenever they crop up around her. Despite this small setback, her nature is not competitive. She doesn't really dislike anyone who does better than her at whatever the subject because she aims for self-improvement and beating personal records more than anything else. Her work-ethic was carefully installed by her father's no-nonsense parenting. She was raised in a household where it was essential to maintain a healthy body and mind; her father made sure that she focused on setting and achieving her own personal goals. She excelled in school, ate healthy, and exercised daily. Even now that she is an adult, she still finds it hard to get out of the habit of walking a couple of miles everyday or avoiding extra sugary snacks.
Vine is confident in herself and her actions, often to a fault. She is very self-critical, has trouble asking for help, and hates admitting when she's wrong. When things don't go as she planned or in a positive direction, she can get frustrated very easily. Divine also has a bit of a "potty mouth," and uses profanity even when she isn't trying to. She also has a lot of trouble controlling her temper, and whenever someone pushes her to her limit, she'll snap; it will often result in her yelling a large number of obscene words, throwing objects, and even going as far as to get physical. Despite all of her shortcomings, there's no denying that Divine is usually kind and dependable. If you ask her to meet you somewhere, she will be there; if she promises to do something, she will do it; if you ask her for help, she will do everything in her power to assist.┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈

Divine was born and raised in the slums of Chicago. She was an only child, a product of an unexpected and unwanted teen pregnancy. Despite being deemed "not ready" to raise a kid by her family, Divine's mother still brought her "bundle of joy" into this world. After just two long years of motherhood, however, Divine's mother had reached her breaking point. After being forced to move into her baby father's place and fend for herself (and her newborn), her mother had much trouble affording clothes, diapers, and food for her child. Divine's father dropped out of high school and got a job, but it still wasn't enough to support all three of them. Long story short, the parents decided to put their baby girl up for adoption, and not much later, she was taken in by a Dominican foster family from the South Side. There she lived with her foster parents and five older "siblings."
Growing up, Divine was always very independent and ambitious. In elementary school, she was often recognized and rewarded for her academic and social achievements. Her foster parents were both high school teachers, and pushed for Divine to partake in numerous activities: piano lessons, basketball, spelling bees, volunteer work, etc. From the age of seven, Divine always knew that she was a foster kid, but had no great desire of meeting her birth parents. However, that did not stop her from figuring out who they were and digging up as much information about them as she could. She took many trips to the area at which she was born, the neighborhood not too far from her own, and even visited the high school she would have attended had the couple decided to keep her.
Before her first year of high school, Divine's foster dad got a job promotion which resulted in him and his wife moving to California. Divine and the five other foster kids were separated once more and placed into new foster homes. Vine ended up living with a verbally abusive single mother until she turned eighteen; after pushing through high school while consistently maintaining an A average, Divine went to Pennbrooke University on a basketball scholarship to major in Film and Video, and minor in African-American Studies so that she could get a better understanding of her history. Not being used to living in down sotuh, Divine immediately felt out of place within the state of Mississippi. For a long time she missed the commotion of the city, her friends back home, and even the stray cat she used to feed on her walk to class everyday.

@HushedWhispers @Apokalipse Here's my heartbreaker! <3
D | Mossos
21 | Male | Heterosexual
Big Brother | Senior | Business Management | Economics
In Depth Appearance:
Dante Mossos takes after his father’s family in many ways. He stands at a height of 6’2”, with a chiseled yet slim body that’s attractive enough to earn him the attention of the female population at Pennbrooke. His immaculately styled hair is that of a dirty blonde color, which can look darker when wet or when hair product is used. A pair of green eyes and his button nose are the only evidence of his mother’s genes, that along with a pair of full lips and a very defined jawline rest on his smooth, pale face. You will not find traces of body hair anywhere in Dante’s body, as he is a major metrosexual that goes as far as laser hair removal to make sure the unwanted biological pests stay far away from him. In terms of clothing, he always tends to dress fashionably with brand and designer clothing, even when in casual wear. He wears no jewelry, has no tattoos and no significant scars.
Likes:
- Smoking cigarettes (just like Mom and Dad)
- Redheads
- Expensive perfume
- Alcohol (but not as much like his father)
- Money, wealth and luxuries
- His sports car
- Winning a race
- Neatly-laundered shirts
- His aunt, uncle and cousins
- Soft skin
- Attractive, mysterious and cunning women
- The smell of newly-printed dollar bills
- The Rolex watch he got for his eighteenth birthday.
Dislikes:
- Body hair (on himself)
- Unkempt people
- People with body odor
- Pocket change
- His father’s bad habits
- Bad breath
- People who mess up his hair
- Losing a race
- The tight bond his father and his half-sister share
Habits:
- Unconsciously runs his hand through his hair.
- Rubs his temple when frustrated or annoyed.
- Wipes his mouth with his thumb after making out with or going down on someone.
- He's left-handed.
- Frequently uses winks when flirting.

Personality Traits:The Good:
- Charming
- Smart
- Determined
- Strong-Willed
- Cunning
- Collected
The Bad:
- Selfish
- Emotionally Closed-Off
- Secretive
- Manipulative
- Deceitful
- Spiteful
Personality:
Upon first meeting him, Dante is a rather quiet young man: a trait that’s rare on the otherwise loud members of Phi Kappa Delta. As he says it himself, he tries hard to stay on the sidelines, as being dragged into whatever drama and Greek life politics is something he doesn’t particularly enjoy. He can be very charming when he wants to, with an easy -although sometimes dark- sense of humor. As a lover, witnesses say that he’s passionate and intense. Even though he prefers a cool and collected way of life, he enjoys having his fun every once in a while. To those close to him, he’s very caring and protective, doing anything to keep them safe. He’s also inherited his mother’s brains, and that along with his determination and strong will has earned him a spot in the top ten percentile of the university.
However, beneath the surface hides a cunning, calculating individual, always determined to get what he sets his mind to. He can be secretive, manipulative and deceitful, traits inherited from his father and uncle, and the only woman who can see right through them is his aunt. His past experiences had caused him to become emotionally closed off, as he fears that getting close to anyone might result in him getting hurt. He prefers to keep his emotions to himself, while distracting himself with women, his classes, the fraternity and learning about his uncle’s company.
Hometown:
Beverly Hills, California
History:“Okay, so where do I begin? Because let me warn you right now, my life story is kinda fucked… Fuck it, let's go. I guess I'll just start from the beginning…
Okay, so once upon a time, my grandparents forced my dad, aunt and uncles to attend a Thanksgiving dinner hosted by the one and only Huntsberg family. At the time, Aunt Audrey and Uncle Alex were in one of their rough patches (because what else is new, right?), so the evening was poised to be a disastrous one. Well, it turns out that not everything was bound to suck that day. Not only did my aunt and uncle made their relationship official that day (after conceiving my twin cousins in my aunt’s bedroom, I might add), but my father met the woman who would become my mother at that party in the form of Aunt Audrey’s oldest cousin: Heather Duclerc.
Between cigarettes, blow and family issues, my parents bonded in the Huntsberg Villa’s gardens. They had a lot of fun together that day, getting through the dinner high as clouds. To no surprise, they ended up hooking up right in the middle of the fucking gardens, man. They exchanged numbers, kept talking and even hooked up a few more times after that. Unfortunately, my father had left out a very important detail out of their conversations: his age. My mother was 23 years old, with a bachelor’s degree under her belt and a semester away from her masters’. On the other hand, my father was merely seventeen, not even out of high school yet.
When she found out, Mother obviously freaked out. She had a position in one of the most prestigious banking companies in the country, and something like this coming out could not only ruin her career, but put her behind bars. To make matters worse, she found out she was pregnant with yours truly, which only added to her dilemma. So she decided to take the hardest decision of her life: drop out of college, sell her apartment, request a relocation, pack up her stuff and move to New York. She changed her number, dropped off the face of the Earth and never told my father about me.I was born a few months later in New York City on August 20th.2
My mother was… The most beautiful woman in this world. She had the brightest smile, and the most stunning eyes anyone has ever seen. She cared for me with such love and patience, always making time for me even on her busiest days... And she did everything by herself, too. My mom was a fucking badass. We were so happy together… Until the fucking lung cancer got her when I was nine.
I mean, yeah, she was a smoker, and she’d done some pot and coke back in the day. But so what? People out there have done worse things and are still alive. Why her, man? Why’d that fucking disease have to take her, of all people?! All she ever did was try to give me the best life she could. Like, fuck, man… I fucking miss her all the time.
Anyway, a few months before my mom died, she finally told me who my father was: Elijah Damian Mossos. She’d made deathbed arrangements to set me off with my father and his family, so when she passed, I was sent off to California. It was then when I met all of my dad’s family. It was cool to know I had cousins my age, even a half-sister. But God forbid I be happy for a long period of time, because it seems that "Taking A Shit On Dante" is God’s favorite fucking pastime... As if my position wasn’t shitty enough, I quickly found out that my darling father was actually an alcoholic with a long history of coke abuse and two failed rehab stints. Just two months after I arrived at my grandparents’ place, Father went into rehab for the third time.
Aunt Audrey was absolutely heartbroken with my story. She couldn’t believe I’d gone through so much shit in life, and she decided I wouldn’t go through hell ever again for as long as she lived. They talked to my father, and eventually decided that Aunt Audrey and Uncle Alex would be the ones in charge of me. Even when she had four of her own kids to worry about, that woman opened up the doors to her home for me and raised me as one of her own. Yeah, she can be a pain in the ass sometimes, but she's my other mother. I would do anything for Aunt Audrey. Behind that bitch exterior you see in magazines and interviews, she’s got a heart of gold.
In the end, yeah, I lost my mother, but I gained a family.
Things got better for me after that. I grew up in this huge fucking mansion, chilling and having fun with my cousins with absolutely not a goddamned thing to worry about. I was enrolled in Beverly Hills Academy with the rest of my cousins, then I went to Stanford up until the middle of sophomore year. See, there was this little incident with the fucking cops catching me in the middle of one of my races. Even after my family made a generous donation to the school, the fuckers were concerned of the blow my issue could represent to their bullshit reputation. So Aunt Audrey, after giving the dean a rather memorable piece of her mind, chose to transfer me to Pennbrooke University.
I was fucking pissed to be separated from Xander and sent to school with the normies, but it didn’t take long for me to notice that most of the students here were in the same level as me. Hell, I even joined the fucking Phi Kappa Delta frat house. But even with how wildly popular we are, I like to keep on the sidelines, maintain that mystery that characterizes the Mossos males. Not to mention keeping my grades up. My dream is to run Mossos Industries with Uncle Alexandros instead of being some alcoholic junkie like my father, so getting this degree is half of the battle. Ultimate goal? Becoming CEO of the company one day. And I’ll sure as fuck will get it; I swear on my mother’s grave. Just you wait.”Elijah Damian Mossos- Father- “I don’t really know what else to say about Father other that I hope he gets his shit together before he ends up dead or fucked up.”
Heather Christine Duclerc- Mother- “My guardian angel. Will always love her. Miss her every single fucking day”
Alexandros Stefano Mossos- Uncle- “Uncle Alexandros is an amazing dad, even if he does get under my aunt’s skin and makes her want to rip his head off. He’s the one that taught me all I know about racing, but don’t mention that to my aunt unless you want us all to die a slow and painful death.”
Audrey Elizabeth Mossos-Huntsberg- Aunt- “Living with Aunt Audrey is like living with my mother, only difference is that you want to follow her rules to keep her happy and never piss her off. I’ve seen her angry, and it isn’t pretty. She is easily the only woman in this goddamn world who can put the fear of God in me with a single look.”
Ava Brie Mossos- Aunt- “Auntie Ava’s a cynical, sarcastic badass. That about sums her up.”
Xander Elliott Mossos-Huntsberg- Cousin- “Xan and I are inseparable: he’s been my ride or die ever since I came to the family. I love the fucker to death. No homo.”
Briella Amélie Mossos-Huntsberg- Cousin- “Brie’s like my sister, so if anyone messes with her they’d better be ready to get their ass whooped.”
Ariana Elizabeth Mossos-Huntsberg- Cousin- “What I said for Brie also applies for Ari. Mess with her and you’re fucking screwed.”
Andrew Hektor Mossos-Huntsberg- Cousin- “Drew’s like the little brother I never had, so fucking with him is also a guaranteed ass-whooping.”
Soleil Amaranthe Jameson- Half-Sister- “Sol’s cool and all, just never really see her around. She lives back home in Cali with her mom, stepdad and half-siblings, but we’ve never been particularly close.”

Ever since Joe was a kid he had always had a very loyal mentality. For the Homie there is nothing he won’t do, from giving a place to sleep all the way up to jumping the man who did you wrong. He has nothing but love for those he calls a friend, be his enemy and you are a world of hurt.
On first impressions Joe is a tough guy who seems more at home working as a mechanic or as a bouncer in some seedy bar, rather then in a college class room. While that may be true Joe is in fact very smart, as he made the honor roll and attended advanced placement classes in high school. Having said that Joe prefers to blend in with the other students not to stand out.
Continuously Joe has been called friendly as he knows many of his classmates and genuinely cares how they are doing that day.While he enjoys being with people, very few actually know anything about his personal life as he prefers to change the subject or avoids it in general
While Joe likes being around people he is unsure of how people will react to

Over the summer she added light brown highlights to the ends of her hair. She loves the way they add more depth and volume to her curls. As the stress of finals get closer she usually switches to weave to save herself a bit of unnecessary stress. She has one piercing in her ears and a piercing in her septum. She likes to dress for comfort, more than style. She prefers simple outfits, but her paint-splattered clothes and jewelry obsession make her appear more fashionable than she really is.

Personality: Jasmine is a bright and colorful person. She can see the beauty in everything around her, which tends to make her zone out on occasions. She enjoys those around her and considers herself to be a good friend. She usually has a lot of thoughts running through her mind which lead to many artistic projects. She's sat in certain places for hours trying to figure out how to capture what she sees into a timestamp. She's always been the go to person whenever somebody wanted something a painting or a poster created. While she's always willing to help others out artistically, Jasmine isn't as open when it comes to everything else.
She's always jumping in with her opinion on a topic and will go on for hours if you let her. Jasmine rarely admits that she's wrong, but she's quick to tell others that they are. She doesn't devote the same time or patience to her social interactions as she does with her art. It makes her the type to rip the bandaid off. She doesn't care for the drama and believes that a real friend will tell you the truth regardless of whether you might like it. She doesn't share much about her own life. She's an extreme procrastinator and claims that it gives her the motivation to finish when it's done at the last possible second. This also means that her health gets put on the back burner until it becomes catastrophic.
Hometown: Born in Westchester, New York. Raised in Westchester and Houston, Texas.
History: Jasmine Simmons was born to Taylor and Ryan. She's an only child. When she was two her parents got divorced. She was too young to remember it, so it never really bothered her. Her mom stayed in upstate New York while her dad moved down to Texas. She lived with her mom, but would spend summer and holiday breaks living with her dad. Jas always enjoyed switching back and forth between the two. Luckily, her parents' divorce was amicable so on major events and birthdays she could have both of them with her without it ending in a screaming match. She has a younger half-brother, Ian. He's the child from her dad's second marriage. Even though they don't see each other that often, they're actually very close and talk as often as possible.
In elementary school, Jasmine was constantly in and out of doctor's offices. She would either be suffering from an ear or sinus infection or she would break something from doing something reckless. She considered herself to be invincible. She would constantly find taller things to climb and jump off of. Finally, having had enough, her dad enrolled her in a summer art camp. It was far more than macaroni necklaces and glitter glue. This camp was paint smocks and clay ovens. She fell hopelessly in love with art. From that point on it was the only thing she really cared about. Her parents were just glad they didn't have to make any more frequent trips to the ER for X-rays.
By the time high school rolled around, Jasmine had honed her artistic skills and her parents supported her completely. She made frequent trips to Manhattan to see as many art exhibits as possible. With a little help from a friend, she even managed to create her own website where people can commission her artwork. She managed to maintain decent grades all throughout high school. When it came time to apply for colleges, her dad informed her that he was getting another divorce and Ian was moving to Mississippi. Deciding that's where she needed to be, she applied to Pennbrooke University. So far, college had been far more intense than she had been expecting. Jasmine's last minute slacker nature was putting her further and further behind. When she got notification that she had lost her scholarship, she was terrified to tell her parents. She wasn't sure if she was going to be able to stay enrolled. She's never seen either of her parents so disappointed. The stress of everything began to take its toll in the form of an eating disorder. She's hoping that the girls in her sorority will become like family and help her rebound from all of this.
