Arlo stands at 6'1'' and approximately weighs 160 lbs. His eyes are a deep brown that broaches almost black. With equally dark brown hair a few inches past his collar bone, he tends to wear it up. His overall style leans towards looking like a pothead (much to his parents' and the school board's dismay). Knit sweaters, stained jeans, beanies, ancient Chucks, etc. He'll be the first to admit he's a cliche, but he's comfortable.

Upon first meeting Arlo, he comes across as a "woe is me"-type of guy. In fact, he's quite the opposite. Granted, melancholy is a cemented aspect to his personality, but it definitely is not what he wants to be known for. Most of his friends would, in fact, say that he's incredibly, annoyingly honest. Arlo would agree; he prides himself on it. He thinks this is what will make him a great psychologist.
People close to Arlo would say that he's fun to be around, but it took a while for that aspect of his personality to come through. He can be funny, even wild, but he stays reserved. He doesn't want to put anyone off because of his personality. However, he often won't bend on his views (which he realizes is hypocritical, but he believes there's a difference in changing and bending to someone else's will).
Arlo can be hard to love for these reasons (as his sister, Sheridan, will tell you), but he attempts to make it worth it. To those he loves, he's immensely kind, heartfelt, and genuine with. He'll go with the flow, crack a smile for someone else's benefit, and give it to someone straight.

Ｆａｍｉｌｙ
Harrold Caesar (48, Father)
➣Harrold used to be known as a "stand-up guy", honest like Arlo, but this was all a facade. Perhaps Arlo had caught onto it sooner, all things considering, but now the rest of the world knows that Harrold is a fraud. Currently in prison, Harrold is known for fraud and misleading investors.
➣However, he didn't start out this way. In the '80s, Harrold Caesar formed his own brokerage firm, Patronage Financial, on Wall Street. It took nearly a decade before he finally made his first million. Now, he's one of the leading brokers, amassing billions each year.
➣Concerning his relationship with Arlo, it's nonexistent. They were close when Arlo was a child, but, as he grew older, he became the place where Harrold could express his frustrations, physically and mentally. Arlo doesn't know why he was chosen as the one to pick one, perhaps it was because he wasn't gifted. He was this constant reminder that money doesn't make anyone special; people are just normal, despite Harrold thinking he could buy an interesting character with money.
Winona Long-Caesar (43, Mother)
➣The kinder of the pair of parents, Winona is currently lost with her husband in prison and her son running the firm. Like Arlo, she's never overly invested in wealth and the amount that she's amassed. Her relationships with her children and husband are the most important. However, she's not doing a bang-up job of it (at least, in the eyes of her youngest children). She's out of it, to the fullest extent: unable to get out of bed and unresponsive to her children. She scarily has lost all interest, and it's left them no choice but to seek in-patient assistance.
Everest Caesar (25, Twin)
➣With Winona in the hospital and Harrold in prison, everything has fallen on Everest. Well, this is not true. The company has fallen on him, but Arlo has taken over any of the family "b*llshit" (in the words of Everest). He's the much less understanding of the pair, despite it being his fault that Harrold's in prison.
➣In an attempt to prove his worth, Everest is the one who began to upsell the companies they represented. He's the one who set up relationships between the firm and several manufacturing companies, who paid Patronage Financial to mislead the investors. Classic fraud that resulted in millions more gained for the firm. Through his guileful work, Everest ruined several thousands of people's financial portfolios and lives. Now, he's ruining the company, which miraculously remains alive. By Harrold falling on the sword for his son, the full breadth of the company's fraudulence was never revealed (though many people have left the company).
Sheridan Caesar (19, Sister)
➣The person Arlo is the closest to within the family and in the entire world. As a kind, idyllic person, Sheridan has an intoxicating sense of optimism. She's what Arlo wishes he could be: undyingly supportive, friendly, likable, and sweet. Sheridan is light-hearted and fun-loving. She throws a party nearly every weekend, and she's a fantastic person to get drunk with or simply go to CVS with.
➣However, Sheridan has an addictive personality. She's unable to stop partying, really, and she's fantastic at hiding it. One could probably find her in the bathroom before class, doing a line or taking a hit off her Juul. Her parties are just ingenious cover-ups for her inability to stop. However, she's coming closer and closer to coming undone, and it's becoming harder to keep it covered up.
Ｐａｓｔ
Given his family's intricacies (to be it nicely), Arlo has often been slow compared to his siblings. His twin, Everest, graduated two years earlier than expected due to the plethora of AP classes. Sheridan is a girl-genius, becoming famous for her collage portraits when she was only ten. She really only goes to university to have a degree to back up her skills. There's nothing particularly special about Arlo, and he likes it this way. He doesn't mind that he should've already graduated from University, but he's only a 2nd year. He's fine with drifting through life in his own way. Hell, the Caesar way of doing things doesn't seem to really be working out, so maybe the Arlo way will be better?
Arlo hasn't always been connected to the rest of the family. He recently was reconnected to Winona and Everest because of Harrold going to prison. For the past ten years, Arlo hadn't talked to his family outside of Sheridan or, more recently, with their once-a-month family dinners (Harrold and Winona are paying for his education, so it seems to be a fair trade-off). After a final, one-sided fistfight with his father, Arlo refused to withstand being a punching bag. At 15, Arlo left home and lived with his high school friends, moving from couch to couch. After one of their moms reported him to CPS, Arlo found himself in a group home. Lena, the group home supervisor, became one of his closest allies, despite being the same age as his mom. Although it was difficult getting along with the several personalities within the home, Arlo left on good terms, and he still goes to visit with Lena whenever he finds himself in New York.

APPEARANCE
Tyra is a beautiful young woman of Jamaican and St. Lucian descent. She has a slim, statuesque build and seemingly flawless, chocolate-colored skin. Weighing in at a little over one hundred forty pounds and standing at five feet, six inches tall in flats with all the grace and poise of a queen, Tyra probably could have been a model if she wasn't so infatuated with dance. She carries herself elegantly with good posture, long confident strides, and her head held high. Due to this and her love of high heels, she often looks taller than she really is. When it comes to her fashion sense, Tyra has been known to dress to impress (most of the time), and will usually be found rocking some over-the-top blouse/shirt with a pair of jeans, or a form-fitting dress and some heels. She'll accessorize with numerous bracelets, rings, and a chain she inherited from her grandma.
LIKES AND DISLIKES:
LIKES:
- Dance: Of course, Tyra loves dancing; she's being taking dance lessons since she was three years old. While ballet dance is her favorite style, she's also been trained in hip-hop, jazz, tap, and contemporary. Her deep love for this art form is what led to her eventually majoring in dance when she entered college.
- Fashion: Tyra has been into fashion since she was in high school; she loves mixing and matching different articles of clothing to create something unique that also matches her personality. You'll usually see her with her nose deep in some fashion magazine or scrolling through multiple Instagram accounts for inspiration.
- Misty Copeland: Unlike most girls who have had posters of celebs such as Justin Timberlake or Beyonce plastered all over their walls, Tyra has had photos of her biggest inspiration (besides her mom) set up around her room since she was a teenager. Tyra aspires to be just like her, if not better, and sees her as a great role model for young black women.
- Caribbean Culture: Since she was brought up in a Jamaican and St. Lucian household, Tyra is very close to her roots; She loves anything and everything that reminds her of her family in the Caribbean. She has a large Jamaican flag hanging up on her bedroom wall, can often be found blasting reggae music, and never hesitates to share her home-cooked jerk chicken and fried plantains with anyone who'll try it.
- Musicals: Thanks to her mother, Tyra has been obsessed with musicals since before she could even speak.
DISLIKES:
- Driving: Tyra never learned how to drive before she moved out of the state to go to college; she had always been so used to just walking, taking the subway or catching a cab whenever she needed to travel longer distances. She does have a license and a car, but hates getting behind the wheel and tries her hardest to avoid doing so.
- Social Media: Unlike the majority of the world, Tyra could definitely do without social media. Hell, the only reason she even decided to make a Twitter was so that she could collect memes and stay "in the loop." Despite her large following on Instagram, she only posts once a month.
- Early Mornings: If she could, Tyra would sleep all day and stay up all night. She's never been a morning person, preferring to wake up around noon and stay awake until the old reruns of the George Lopez Show stop at around 3 A.M.
- Country Music: Tyra loves music; Reggae, Metal, Hip-hop, R&B, Rock... but for some odd reason, the one genre of music that she just can't find herself enjoying at any given moment in time is country.
- Her Dad: Ever since her mother passed away, Tyra has felt as though she and her father never see eye-to-eye. They bicker more than ever nowadays, and it's gotten to the point where she doesn't even like coming home for the holidays anymore or calling to see how he's been.
FEARS: Failing her mom, Career-ending injuries, Centipedes... and any bugs that fly.
HABITS: Excessive cursing, Hums when focusing, Will often "check out" of conversations that bore her.
PERSONALITY
Tyra's parents knew that their daughter was destined for stardom from the day she was born. Much like her mother, there is a certain confidence in the way that Tyra walks and talks; she has a way of commanding attention the moment she steps foot into a room and making strong first impressions. She has never been one to shy away from any platform or spotlight, and will always speak her mind without hesitation or timidity. This can easily be seen when she's performing in showcases or auditioning for a role in an upcoming production. Also, thanks to her mom's superb parenting skills, Ty has grown to be a very self-reliant and independent young woman. She knows how to deal with things on her own, and rarely calls on the help of her family members or peers.
There are a few downsides to Tyra's persona, the main one being her impulsiveness and carelessness. While being adventurous, Ty also has a history of making decisions without thinking them completely through, which probably should result in her regretting them later on. The thing with Tyra, however, is that she doesn't regret much of anything. In fact, one of the many philosophies she lives by is that there are no regrets in life, just lessons. Therefore, she'll usually apologize if she does someone dirty, but the apology may not always be sincere. Tyra also has a problem with relationship commitment; she feels as though she functions better when she only has to worry about herself. She doesn't ever plan on having kids, and even the idea of marriage is laughable to her.

HISTORY
Tyra Washington was born on New Year's Day in Brooklyn, New York, the third daughter of prima ballerina Lacey Blue and world-renowned brain surgeon Mitchell Washington. The family lived in a moderate sized home on 38th Street along with Lacey's mother and their pet German Shepherd. Life was fairly easy for Tyra: she never had to worry about much besides keeping her grades up in order to please her dad, and improving her dance skills in order to impress her mom. She and her sisters got along fairly well, despite their occasional petty arguments, and everyone seemed to like her enough in grade school. It wasn't until Tyra was thirteen years old that things began to take a turn for the worse.
The dance world grieved for months after news came about of Lacey Blue's untimely passing, but no one hurt more than Tyra did. Even after years had gone by and the rest of her family seemed to "move on," Tyra remained fixated on the past. It was around this time that she and her father began to butt heads; and slowly but surely, he began to turn his own daughters against one another. "Why can't you be more like your older sisters?" her father told her as she was filling out college applications, "Maybe you should stop focusing so much on dancing and start thinking about medical school like Patrice... or law school, like Simone." While Tyra had been the only daughter of Lacey's to inherit her love and tremendous talent for dance, she was also the only daughter to decide against attending an ivy league or, at the very least, her parents' alma mater.
Unhappy with his daughter's decision to attend Howard University on a nearly full ride scholarship, Tyra's father not only cut off all communication with her, but also stopped supporting her financially. Tyra lasted at Howard for two years before cracking under the pressure of having to manage her studies, dancing, extra curriculars, and financials all on her own. She was forced to make an impossible decision: pack her things, leave behind her dance team & sorority sisters, and apply to her father's alma mater. After notifying her father of her acceptance into Oakwood International University, she was welcomed back with open arms; her feelings towards her remaining family members, however, remain unchanged.
