A small but lively cafe and bar, Momma May's is the most well known business in the entire town, and is easily one of the best places to hang out. Although it may not have the friendliest exterior with its uneven parking lot and many motorcycles taking up the best spaces (courtesy of the resident biker gang, the Red Wolves), this worn down and certainly aged building hosts some of the most energetic karaoke nights, one of the only times that bring the suspicious citizens of Coalfell together for a night. The only downside of the normally upbeat place is the distrust of outsiders of any kind. No one is exactly sure why they feel this way, perhaps it's just their nature.

Dark and dusty, this public library holds seemingly ancient books that probably haven't been checked out in over twenty years. The only way they make money is tracking down those who have anything overdue and harass them to pay up. At this point no one in Coalfell goes to read but instead to smoke things they probably shouldn't, especially the younger folk. There are maybe two employees total that constantly make rounds throughout the small building to make sure no one's stealing anything, though no one's doing that anytime soon.
The only thing the library's actually good for is getting intel on the other residents at Coalfell since it seems the only two people who work there seem to know everything on everyone.

All throughout this tiny town, there are many run down, eerie, and probably haunted places scattered pretty frequently. Not only are there empty parking lots, gas stations, a grocery store that just says "Rog" due to faded and broken lettering, but there's even an old brick building that used to be a hospital. Even though it would be a great hang out spot, no one ever goes in there anymore since the disappearance of a group of children who were last spotted inside the building and never came out. Seems safe.

Nickname: Miro

Age: 20 years old

Gender: Male

Sexuality: Questioning, but presumably straight

Relationship Status: Single

Occupation: Assistant Librarian

Appearance: Miro has a slight frame, standing at only 5'7 and weighing 134 lbs. He blames his short stature on the many illnesses he suffered as a child, which sapped him of his strength and left him frail and weak. His skin is fair, and he has a scar on his right ear. His eyes are dark grey-blue color, and more often than not appear to be in thoughtful contemplation. He has light wavy brown hair that is kept trimmed short, and contrast against his large circular glasses that frame his face.

Usually, he wears sweaters or jackets to keep him warm and loves wearing flat caps during "cold" weather. Typically, what he regards as cold weather is different than most. It has to be below freezing for him to wear a coat or more than one layer. He does love scarves though and will wear a scarf in any weather. With different thicknesses of scarves according to the temperature. He likes wearing thick sturdy boots and a pair of slim-fitting jeans with any outfit. The colors on his clothing are subdued and muted, and he doesn't wear any accessories other than his glasses

Personality: Miro might be short, but he has a strong personality. He isn't afraid to work for his goals and doesn't let setbacks put him in a bad mood. He isn't afraid to let others know what he thinks, but despite his confidence in his opinions, he is pretty quiet. He prefers to lay back and listen to others- at least the best that he can. Miro is deaf and has been since as long as he can remember. He navigates the world through sight and touch, but he feels more or less comfortable in the presence of the hearing. He was the only one in his family born deaf and so at an early age, he learned to pick up on lip reading and practice speaking. The world hasn't fully adjusted to being accessible towards deaf people, so he's had to adapt to it. Despite being acclimated among the hearing, he always jumps at the opportunity to socialize with other deaf people.

Miro is very pragmatic and likes to stick to tried and true methods of doing things. He gets stressed when trying to do things on the fly and dislikes chaos. He prides himself on his common sense and rationality but can get lost when it comes to emotional conflicts and respecting people's sensitivities. Ironically, he is very sensitive as well, but has trouble regulating his own emotions and fully connecting with others.

Short Bio:

Miro managed to end up in Coalfell as a result of much miscommunication and last-minute cancellations. What was going to be a birthday party for a friend ended up by the wayside and he found himself stranded in the small town. However, he didn't want to drive all the way back up so he decided to stop here for the time being.

➵ Full Name: Riley Lee Palmer

➵ Nickname: "Ri? I dunno, most people just call me "babe."

➵ Age: 22

➵ Relationship Status: "Single and looking… ladies."

➵ Occupation: Uber/Taxi driver.

➵ Appearance: Riley has been blessed with a lot of things--money, doting parents, a good education--but his most valued asset, in the opinion of his many girlfriends, is his face. The boy has the face of an angel, speckled with aesthetic-looking, and authentic, freckles, hair floppy, curly, and soft enough to make the best of models green with envy, and a lip ring on his bottom lip. In fact, the only thing not perfect about Riley is his teeth, which are finally beginning to straighten under the insistence of his parents--braces, apparently, are a good look for him too. Around town, you will see Riley mostly in comfy, yet trendy hoodies and jackets, a pair of yellow converse or vans (he owns several pairs of both), and, sometimes, a hairpin or two in his hair.

➵ Personality: At first, Riley seems like the typical flirt; never without a smooth word, always bragging about his possessions to anybody who will listen, but there's one crucial difference: he actually thinks he's the greatest. Born into immense wealth, Riley grew up with a sense of superiority that has stuck with him throughout high school and beyond: he's a snob, as much as a small-town millionaire can be, and he never quite understood the "money can't buy happiness" thing. A romantic at heart, but without any stops, he relentlessly flirts with everything alive, and on occasion, a few things that aren't. Riley has a silver tongue, but also a heart of gold--he wasn't voted student council president three years in a row for nothing--and he is generally a very talkative, even friendly individual who just happens to own fifty identical hoodies.

➵ Secrets: At his very center, Riley is dealing with the beginnings of a reckoning with his identity, and his greatest desire is to get out of his town and do something fun for once.

➵ Bio: As the only child of the most powerful family in town, Riley grew up good. Palmer Sr., a self-made millionaire due to his successful toothpaste production plant, suddenly had too much money and did not handle it well in respect to his son, pouring his fortune into every aspect of Riley's life. Therefore, the boy you see before you today: a spoiled brat, bored of everything and convinced that he's the best. Without a private school to send him too, Riley attended the local (and only) public school all his life, and therefore knows every student… especially the cheerleaders. Every inch of this miniscule town is his playground, and he lords over it like a kid in a candy store. Although, all he really does is flirt with girls and drive around town in his red MG convertible, looking for something to do.

(Full disclosure - I definitely don't own this wonderful woman's pictures/face. This is the closest actress representation I could find.)

Full Name: Natalia Adelle Whitlock

Nickname: Thalia

Age: 24

Gender: Woman/Female

Sexuality: Bisexual

Relationship Status: Single

Ethnicity: Native American, Hispanic, Caucasian

Occupation: Unemployed, but looking. Potentially interested in a library position, if open.

Appearance: Natalia stands at a relatively short 5'2, and is of average build: not outstandingly muscular, or busty, but also not twig-skinny. Her skin is a copper brown, with soft, straight, raven hair falling to about her shoulders. As soft as her hair is, though, her eyes are somehow even softer, a warm, maple tone that greets everyone who meets them with genuine openness and kindness, and they hide underneath a row of thick black lashes. Usually, Natalia chooses to wear rather simple clothing, such as an over-sized T-shirt and some blue jeans, often paired with black and white converse sneakers, and typically isn't one to go for much jewelry. However, on special dates or occasions she may don a thigh-length floral dress (pockets are a plus here) and pair it with a necklace or a few rings. She doesn't have any piercings, or tattoos, as of the moment. As far as make-up goes, Natalia hasn't much need, being blessed with a complexion that isn't often oily or dry, simply smooth and clean. She does, however, almost always apply a heavy amount of black eyeliner to both her upper and lower waterlines, which she wings out beyond the crevice of each eye corner. Top it off with some fruity balm or chap stick, and she's good to go!

Personality: As far as who she is as a person, Natalia can be summed up in a few words: honest. Loyal. Kind. Compassionate. Stubborn. Wise. Despite her youth, Thalia has always seemed mature beyond her years (possibly due to prior incidents in her life that she doesn't often share) and is never afraid to offer her opinion, or advice, to a friend (or even a foe) in need. She will never lie to you, even if the truth hurts, as she has a hard time even omitting information, especially when it's important. Her kindness extends to many, even to strangers, and she has compassion even for those who have screwed her over in the past. She can't stand inequality among human beings, and she also has an extreme soft spot for creatures of all sorts, primarily horses. These traits can be her downfall as well, though, because with the fierceness that she has to defend those she cares for and fight for what she believes in also comes her pride, which she tends to have a particularly hard time letting go of. Overall, though, what really matters to Natalia at the end of the day is whether you will be there when it really counts, because that's how she will determine if she'll be there for you.

Short Bio: Natalia's father left her and her mother for the military when she was just four years old, and he didn't make it back home. Due to her immense depression stemming from both the events of her husband's passing, and her own bipolar disorder, Natalia's mother had a hard time taking care of Natalia and her younger siblings, and ended up turning to hard drugs as a way of coping. Thalia's mother also, unfortunately, turned to men that were no good for financial support, men who often brought along with them numerous sketchy step-siblings. As soon as she was able, Natalia left her home, and has basically found a home in the streets ever since, constantly moving from one place to the next. Now, with a tight wad of cash that seems to be questionably gained, Natalia is trying to move as far away from her past as she possibly can, and has stumbled upon the Motel Cadillac, planning to explore all of the other riches that the city of Coalfell has to offer, for the time being.
