Both first year residents. Mimi wants to specialize in Pediatrics, while Mila is still trying to figure out where she wants to go. For now, Mila will float between departments until she finds her calling.

The twins, both standing at 5'2", when not in scrubs, are seen sporting two distinct styles. Mimi prefers a more conservative and comfortable look, key word comfortable, not really dressing to impress. You better believe Mimi will go to a date looking like she's going to church (covered from head to toe). Luckily, she hasn't had a date in a long time and if she did, Mila would be her fairy godsister, sprinkling sexy on her. Mimi will, however, put some time and care in her make up and hair. She's a professional so she should be presentable.

Mila, on the other hand, dresses cute and bohemian which would be considered non-traditional. Commonly referred as Boho, where she reminds others of a gypsy girl or flower child. Exotic patterns, dresses that flow with the wind, etc. Her style isn't limited to that and there are many occasions she tries to convince her sister to coordinate outfits with her, where they're rockin' street looks or vintage vibes that match, while turning heads. One can say Mila cares a little too much about her looks, while Mimi cares too little. Mimi's philosophy is if people can't accept her at her worst, why the hell should she waste her time with them at her best?

Now, the big question is how do we tell the two apart? Mimi is usually the one wearing black glasses, while Mila wears contacts. Nevertheless, there are times where people can't tell them apart, if neither has their glasses on or both have their glasses on.

Evaluation Observations:
The twins come across as two girls who have their lives put together, knowing what they want and never crying over spilled milk. Try, try, try again. Really, though? They are extremely hard on themselves, to an unhealthy extent. Mimi has no social life, she dedicates every fiber of her being to her job and when she isn't working, she is researching ways to improve herself or crashing from sleep deprivation. She holds high expectations, thanks to her parents, which has created a workholic and someone who doesn't really know the true meaning of 'lighten up' or 'have fun'. Not saying she's a stick in the mud at work either! She just lives and breathes her profession. If she jokes, she's usually poking fun at a coworker, if she laughs, it's because someone brightened up her day. But more often than not, all that happens at the hospital. Her home life is where she tries to watch a show, but ends up reading her medical books for the tenth time, or searching for articles and cases online.

In contrast, Mila has always felt second rate beside her sister, who picked up concepts faster than her, aced all her tests and quizzes, always knew the answers, and just... knew what she wanted to do since they were kids. Mimi has always been good with kids, so it made sense that when they went to school for medicine she would take a strong liking to Pediatrics. Her, though? She wasn't nearly as decisive. She just liked... helping people. There's no doubt that Mimi is the family favorite. Mila chooses to hide behind a smile, to not have many people worry about her, but really she cries more than most, never feeling adequate and good enough. Hopefully soon she could prove her worth to her family. That she is good. That she does care. That she can save lives, She's not better or worst than her sister, she is her own strength in the hospital and they all have one common goal: to help people.

Actual Personality:
Mimi is extremely intelligent and hard-working, to an intimidating level, and if someone challenges her, she will fight back and pass that challenge with flying colors. She is efficient, careful, and precise. One thing she absolutely hates is being underestimated and someone telling her she can't. She's the resident that will annoy you until you give her her chance to prove you wrong. If she doesn't agree with you, she will voice her opinions, not caring if you are her higher up or not. At times, she can appear to be a bossy know-it-all, but her abrasive attitude is to mask her insecurities. Most people either admire or envy her because of how strong and independent she carries herself.

With an energetic, lively personality, Mila is truly a light in a dark place. She is the type of woman who does everything wholeheartedly and never fails to put everyone else first. If someone needs to confide in her, she will make time for them and lend a hand or a shoulder to cry on. She's quirky, with a never dying serene disposition. If someone was having a bad day, just talking to her can turn their frown upside down. Mila is good at hiding her anxiety and stress, and seems to be positively ready for her day. She may not be as confidant in her knowledge as her sister is, but she will continue to persist to do better, while reminding her colleagues that they are human too and it's okay to have bad days. No one is perfect and what they do is something they should be proud about. Yes, mistakes are frowned upon here, but there are also some things not even they can stop. They can at least try their hardest until they can't try anymore. Mila is a silver lining and she gives people hope that things will be okay.

Both girls, in their own way, are inspirational and truly beautiful.

History:
The Wright twins grew up where their father was rarely home because he dedicated his life to orthopedic surgery, while their mother was a psychiatrist practicing out of her home office, so she could be on-call for the girls. They were born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts, and had an upbringing where there was no other option than excelling. Rarely were they allowed to go play with the neighboring kids. If they weren't learning, they weren't doing it right. There was always an expectation for both girls to pursue something in medicine. While they were young and full of imagination, they would sneak and watch their mother's sessions from a far, learning the different stories of all her clients.

Their school lives were vastly different since Mimi conformed, Mila did not. Mila believed to be a well versed person, you needed to learn about people, on a personal level, not have your head stuck in books. What they chose to avoid noticing, especially at such a young age, was their mother was an alcoholic and their father wasn't just having long nights at work. He was having long nights at someone else's home. As dysfunctional as their family seem, a turning point for all of them was when their mother got pregnant with a baby boy. The twins were excited to have a another sibling, and it even brought their parents close again.

That is, until their mom found out about their dad cheating, which caused her to freak out, overly stressing her body, and having a miscarriage. After this point, things grew distant between their parents. They filed for divorce and before the twins knew it their mom packed her bags and moved to California, taking her girls with her. Every summer up until they were deep into medical school, they would spend it with their dad. Now that they're old enough, the twins live together and their parents check up here and there to make sure they are not fucking up their chances to become doctors.

Here they are at the best hospital they could've ever worked at, trying to make their mark... whatever that may entail.

Let's hope they don't fuck up.

Oddly enough, Mimi's dream doesn't surround her career. Yes, she wants to make it as a doctor and be one of the best, but really, there's always an underlining loneliness. Call it cliche or whatever, but she does hope she find someone to share her life with that isn't her twin. She loves children, because she wants children. She spends endless hours working so she can provide for a family in her future. She wants to save lives, but she also wants to live a life where her greatest work is in the form of her babies. A dream is just a dream and she doesn't think it'll ever come true, so for now and forever, she work as a doctor and impact lives that way.

Mila wants to find her calling. She hasn't put much thought into her dreams. If anything, she dreams to feel fulfilled one day. Happy with how far she's come and being one reason in someone's life that they choose to continue to fight the fight that is living life.

Oh jeez, here come's Miss. Know-It-All. Really, we should start calling her Cobweb because that's probably what's inside her Vag.
God, she's such a bimbo. Always stuttering and hesitating when people ask her questions. Oh, don't forget how she leads every guy on. Maybe she should learn a thing or two from her sister who gets none.

Calvin Jason Hawthorne

10/23 & 26
Orange County, CA

Male & Hetero

Trust fund kid-Frat boy(Kappa Sigma)-Atheist but Superstitious-African American-Democrat-Stanford Grad-Doctor

Medical Resident: First Year, interested in ER med

The first thing people notice about Cal is his smile, friendly, genuine, inviting, and an almost constant accessory. Those few years of braces as a kid paid off as his teeth are straight and he does everything he can to keep them whiter than freshly fallen snow. After the smile, he stands out for being tall; standing at 6'1, dark, and most importantly to him, handsome. Cal takes pride in his appearance; he works out, eats well, keeps his hair and goatee trimmed, and dresses well. Although he prefers a casual look he has plenty of nice clothes, and enjoys dressing up in nicer clothes and suits when he needs to. Ears are pierced, he likes a little bling, and he has a weakness for nice watches.

Evaluation Observations:
Calvin tries hard to make a good first impression; warm, outgoing, and personable, he’s never had an issue in social situations. He’s very confidant, which often comes off as arrogant, and he can be very stubborn at times and people he doesn’t know very well are not likely to sway his mind once it’s made up. Having grown up wealthy he’s not great with money management or understanding what it’s like to not be wealthy which makes him seem spoiled and entitled.

Actual Personality:
Cal does his best to try and see the good in people, to keep a positive attitude, and strive towards his goals. While not exactly secretive he doesn’t normally talk about his personal life or heavy stuff unless prompted, he prefers to keep things light especially at work where there’s enough going on. In an emergency situation, he stays calm and collected, in fact the more stressed he is or the crazier the situation the calmer he seems to get. He’s generally even tempered, very few things set him off and he’s quick to try and diffuse conflict. He doesn’t like to upset people, and is quick to apologize when he has messed up. While he’s responsible at work he’s very much not when it comes to his personal life; he’s terrible at managing money, too proud to ask for help when he needs it, and trust people too easily. Pride is big for him, as is perfection at his craft. Calvin always exudes confidence although sometimes it’s just acting until he believes it himself, he can’t do his job properly if he’s doubting himself.

History:
Cal's father is an incredibly wealthy and successful plastic surgeon while his mother was an divorce attorney. He was always a bright kid but his parents always expected more from him, they always wanted him to do just a bit better than whatever he did. He was sent to the best schools, had excellent tutors, and had just about anything he could want growing up. Eventually, after years of never doing good enough to earn his parent’s approval he stopped trying so hard, slacked off more and had more fun. If he was never going to well enough for them then he might as well not try so hard and enjoy himself more.

Calvin knew about his father’s affairs well before his mother ever did, it’s one thing to know but an entirely different experience to walk in on it at the age of eleven. His father bought him a puppy in exchange for silence but didn’t work very hard to hide the fact that the affairs continued. He tried telling himself keeping his father’s secret was being a good son but the guilt ate at him. The happy family charade continued for another three years until his mother found out. His parents got divorced, he eventually told his mom that he’d know about the affairs which put a huge strain on their relationship. He went back and forth between parents with expectations he could never met and who only took interest in him to make the other one jealous or for bragging rights with friends.

Calvin never really liked his father but after shadowing him at work for a day as part of a school assignment he realized he hated him. His father was shallow, his job and life were solely about appearances and money with nothing of substance underneath, and he cared nothing for his patients. Although that day he realized he wanted to be a doctor he knew he didn’t want to be like his father, he wanted to help save lives, to make a positive impact on the world. After that he worked hard at school but now for himself and not his parent’s approval. He took as many advanced classes as he could, did volunteer work at a hospital, and focused on getting into a good college. Although many try to say he got into Stanford because of his father, a Stanford grad himself, but he had been excepted to plenty of other great schools across the country.

He worked hard, studied hard, and partied hard. He joined a frat, had a lot of great experiences, fell in love, got dumped, broke a few hearts of his own; the whole college experience. He just started med school when his mom died in a car accident, they had never really repaired their relationship and were barely talking when she died. It was hard, he drank a little more often, slept a little longer, and laughed a little less but eventually he moved passed it, focused on school more. He graduated, got his residency at Caduceus Memorial Hospital and feels like he’s on his way to achieving his dreams. He’s got no time for people who want claim he is where he is because of his father. He hasn’t asked his father for a thing other than tuition money since he was eighteen, he tries to dip into his trust fund and the money his mother left him as little as possible. Truthfully being self-reliant has been a challenge for him, finding an apartment with what the residency pays and living off that was much harder than he thought or realized.

ER Doctor/Doctors without Borders/Help People/Travel and see the world/Be Happy

Cal has always been perceived of as a overly spoiled rich kid whose never worked for anything, got into Stanford because of his father's money, and got his residency due to his father's pull as well.

Asim Stanley Bitar

November 16th, 32 years old
Portland, Oregon

Male / Hetero

Army Combat life saver, Arabic, Asatru, Traumatic Brain Injury, Night Terrors.
Slave Driver > Hard Ass > Veteran > Caretaker > Heathen

Paramedic Operations Manager for ground and air ambulances. Part time Physical Therapist.

Standing 6’5 and being a little over 220 lbs. with broad shoulders and an athletic body, Asim can be a bit intimidating. Normally keeping his thick black hair shaven leaving only his short beard. He has a darker skin tone matching his Arabic ethnicity but speaks without an accent in a rather deep tone of voice. He has many small and large tattoos across his back, chest and arms mostly related to his time served in the army. Scars also litter his fore arms, mostly small scratches and cuts. However, he does have a rather large burn scar across his right side that climbs toward his right pectoral.

Normally one can find him wearing nice dark business suits with a comfortable white shirt and red tie. Occasionally slipping on scrubs or workout clothes when working with the physical therapy department. Outside of work he wears whatever is comfortable, mostly slacks or shorts with a loose fitting t-shirt or tank top.

Evaluation Observations:
First impression is that this man is stern and intimidating. Through size, position, and the way he carries himself up and down the halls. That combined with the fact that he has what some have said is a resting bitch face or a near permanent scowl. That’s until you get him to smile with an off color or morbid joke. Normally keeping to himself and helping out when his management job is slow or his assistant manager has everything under control. Even with his stature he still tries to be open and welcoming, Asim just isn’t all that great at it. It doesn’t help that he’s often seen telling other people to get back to work when they are slacking.

Actual Personality:
Aside from his intimidating military honed first impressions he’s actually quite caring towards others. Sure he pushes his people to nearly no end, but he just wants to see them grow. One can often find him comforting or talking to overwhelmed nurses or doctors trying to help them through a breakdown. He knows that this work is stressful even if he makes dealing with all the stress easy. Asim will always try to be the support structure for his fellow employees. Like a good officer, he cares about his people.

As for his friends? Well, he doesn’t have too many friends outside of work. No significant other or relatives in the area either. Outside of work, unless invited somewhere, he spends his time exercising, working in his yard, or helping his older neighbors with theirs. Occasionally when his night terrors get the best of him or his anxiety and depression start to kick in, he locks himself away to read poetry or cook.

His goals are few and simple. One would be to live out the rest of his life in peace, to only fight when protecting himself or a third party. Another goal is to simply help where he can and bring a little joy into this dark world. He wouldn’t mind finding someone to call his own, the best friend he could open up too and spill his secrets. A woman that could sing to his angels and calm his demons. After all, he doesn’t want to be alone forever.

His reputation is one of diligence and hard work for both himself and the people he supervises. Even if others think he’s a dick he knows he has a job to do and the responsibilities that come with it.

Maurice Colton

25 Years Old/12th November 1993

Male. Straight.

British-American Psycho
Stick-up-the-ass

First year resident in trauma surgery. Specializes in emergency surgery/trauma victims like car crashes or assault victims and the like.

Maurice has the classic ‘old money private schooled’ look. His dark hair is always immaculately styled in conservative fashion. He keeps it a manageable length, never below the collar- that was a detention in his old school. His face seems suited to a sombre look, with heavy brows and a protruding upper lip that makes an almost permanent semi-pout. Maurice’s chin is quite heavy-set also, with a noticeable cleft in the center. His eyes are bright coloured, but dull- his low lids leave little to show of the sparkling blue iris. Tireless hours working late at night have left prominent dark bags under his eyes.

His build is thin but tall, standing at 6’1. His skinniness comes from days spent working obsessively, without regard of eating and it has taken its effect on his body. His face is especially gaunt, with skin tight against his cheekbones and jaw. ‘Didn’t your mother ever feed you?’ and ‘You should really be eating more’ are common comments. He doesn’t have time for that. Food is to sustain, not to enjoy.

Clothing is something Maurice takes very seriously. The first thing people do when they see you is they judge you. And your clothes are the first thing they see. Therefore, it would never do to look ragged or unseemly. For this reason, and having never truly grown out of his private school days, he wears fitted formal wear most of the time (except when in surgery of course). Monotone coloured shirts, fitted suit pants and derby shoes which match the colour of his belt. Occasionally he wears a silk tie, but it can feel excessive in daily use and end up left in the cupboard. Always a single colour. Maurice frowns on the fools who like to ‘express their personality’ with their ties. Leave the rubber ducks and bright colours to the children.

First impressions of Maurice are rarely positive. He seems to simply brush off and ignore other people at best, and at worst, use his brash, superior manner to bully others. However, he is annoyingly good at surgery and medicine, and seems absolutely dedicated to the job. He’s the sort of person that it would be strange to see outside of scrubs in the hospital, like seeing your school principal at a swimming pool. When he isn’t working on the table, he’s working in other ways to become a better surgeon, to save more lives.. to be better. Some people wonder if Maurice simply puts up a facade or if he really is that much of a dick. To be honest, sometimes he doesn’t know himself.

All Maurice wants in life is to be the best. When you’re trying to be the best, sometimes other people can be little more than pointless distractions. Who has time for a girlfriend when people are dying on the table because he wasn’t there to operate? Who has time for idle conversation when he could be studying, improving, becoming a better surgeon? His relentlessness has driven him from a young age, encouraged by his father and by now, it’s all he really has left. As the saying goes, a leopard can’t change it’s spots; and after twenty five years of rejecting others, it seems the spots are ingrained deep. The only way you’ll really see the true side of Maurice; a depressed, almost lonely man is in his moments of weakness- tired to the bone after a marathon surgery or drugged out of his mind on one of his occasional binges. The only thing that keeps him going without burning out is the drugs. The drugs, and the dream of seeing his father’s statuesque face finally break and congratulate his son on his accomplishments.

His birth was uneventful, thrown into this world a quarter of a century ago as a slightly premature baby with an ignominiously large head and bright blue eyes in a San Francisco hospital ward. His mother disappeared early into his life and his father, an English immigrant from a prestigious family never talked about her. Maurice never asked. To question his father was to question his authority, and questioning his authority would only lead to an encounter with his thick leather belt.

In school, Maurice excelled at his work from an early age, standing out among the rest of his classmates. He always seemed to want to be the best, to be better than anyone else. Instead of playing outside and forming friendships like the rest of them, he preferred the chill air of the school library, studying for hours for every test. At home, his father was distant and only spoke to Maurice when the boy got a less-than-desirable grade or, on the rare precious occasion, to show the small boy a flash of pride at an excellent result. This only encouraged Maurice to turn away from his classmates to pursuit grades even more.

When he came to high school age, his father wanted him to return to his roots. This led to him travelling back to England to be schooled at Eton. Most teenagers, freed from the oppressive presence of their parent/s would go wild, but not Maurice. To the chagrin of his classmates he stayed intently focused on his studies, eventually graduating with excellent grades. Those who tried to get close to him would be thrown off by his arrogant attitude, formed by his lack of social interaction. It was in his final years of high school that he started turning to cigarettes, alcohol and drugs as a crutch to support him through tortuous exam seasons and long nights studying. He has never managed to really kick this habit, and still enjoys a chemical hit far too often.

He had grown an interest in medicine through his biology classes, but to be honest, the pay and prestige as a surgeon was what really attracted him. With his pick of colleges, he ended up with a full ride through Stanford for a degree in medicine. From the advice of a professor who had been impressed by Maurice’s determination, he applied for a first year residency in Caduceus Memorial and was eagerly accepted.

‘I don’t have dreams. I have goals. Dreams and hopes will always lose out against someone else’s hard work and determination.’

• Become head trauma surgeon at the hospital
• Make his father proud
• Become financially successful

Maurice hasn’t really been at the hospital long enough to develop a proper reputation, but early impressions of the staff have found him cold and arrogant, their greetings rebuffed. However, his talent and dedication is already evident.

Face Claim: Young Ian McKellen

The Positive:

• Compassionate: Pepper has a deep sense of compassion for everyone she works with. This can be seen as a double-edged sword, as she forms strong attachments and opinions of people within a relativity short time of meeting them.
• Excitable: When you're on Pepper's good side, you'll certainly know it. She is more likely to break out of her comfort zone to try new things if it means being able to celebrate such an occasion alongside others. This can often leave her in an elevated mood for days on end, depending on circumstance.
• Optimistic: In the face of negativity, Pepper tries to be the light in the darkness. Whether it's boosting the morale of her colleagues or reassuring patients to any extent she can, she rarely lets herself be overwhelmed in the presence of others.
• Dedicated and Diligent: Though communication isn't her forte, she makes up for it by going above and beyond to ensure that the health of the patient is within the best possible outcome in terms of prognosis.

The Negative:

• Her stutter: She hasn't sought speech-therapy for her impediment, this condition has been ruled as Neurogenic. Perhaps, rather ironically, it would be worthwhile to seek out a speech pathologist during the duration of her stay.
• Individualism: A direct result of Pepper's parents consistently pressuring her academic success over a social life, this ultimately lead the girl to graduate highschool at the top honors of her class as a Valedictorian- with a significant cost of both emotional well-being, isolationism and general lack of
• Dealt the Wrong Hand: Born as a sickly child with multiple medical complications, Pepper has managed to overcome each and every one. However, they have left a significant, noticeable impact on her physical gait, mobility, speech and psychological state.

Evaluation Observations:
Information disclosed from the office of Dr. Jacob Kaufmann, Redwood Mental Health Center.

"Miss Thompson is an adventurous, committed, intelligent and wonderful client who can light up a room with a smile. The girl's parents raised her right, but their authoritative, fear-based method leaves me in a bit of disagreement with her recounting. She has significant trouble with her stutter, and often feels insecure about making friends because of how [they] might react. I have prescribed her Sertraline for her anxiety, and I have noticed a troubling start of warning signs commonly associated with Uncomplicated Post-Traumatic-Stress-Disorder. She often suffers from night-terrors, depressive bouts, mood swings and catatonic lapses. As I have been told by her, these are likely to occur after a long day of work, yet that is no reason to dismiss the severity of this developing condition. Our next visit is scheduled within two months from now, and the next appointment will determine if a more aggressive regimen of treatments is needed if her condition worsens. I have recommended her to try and find some company when she is not on the job; making friends would indeed be beneficial for her mental health."

Actual Personality:
Pepper is a quiet, soft-spoken young woman with big determination and an even bigger heart. Suffering from a severe stutter and a light limp didn't phase her from earning her CNA certificate and working toward where she is today. Beneath a borderline mute, shy individual underlies a caring, sweet person who has always made it a habit to place herself before others- because their lives depended on it. However, it is not without difficulty from both parties that will determine whether or not Pepper will make a new friend. Pepper suffers from both the insecurity of her stutter being heard as well as an increased display of social isolationism because of this subconscious fear. She also fears fighting, loud noises, spiders and failure. Regardless, she tries to compensate by being naturally optimistic, albeit socially awkward.

History: Born to a loving middle-class family in the small town of Longmont, Colorado, Pepper's birth was fairly traumatic. Delivered at 27 weeks early at one-pound thirteen ounces, the infant's prognosis was grim: A grade-three brain bleed, moderate scoliosis, flat feet, a left hip difference of one inch, and a 50/50 risk of developing cerebral palsy. Miraculously, the young girl pulled through and a pair of fearful parents kept the girl in a bubble (not literally that'd be weird) for most of her toddling years. When she reached the age of comprehension, Pepper was taught the values of discipline, respect, and integrity. With an increasing demand for her academic success from her parents, Pepper placed her social life aside the further she advanced through grade school, and when she reached the age of eighteen, she graduated her High School with a 3.5 GPA. Pepper had her career already planned from the age of five, being frequently told stories by her father about his service in the United States Navy as a Hospital Corpsman. Wanting to follow in her father's footsteps, the aspiring Naval servicewoman went to MEPS a few months later- only to hit the quintile of Permanent Disqualifiers (PDQ)'s. Upset but not deterred, Pepper had a backup: become a Registered Nurse.
