Artist

Rosefell High

It's hard to talk about Ellie's personality without first mentioning her artistic nature. A creative soul, the brunette thinks abstractly in color and sees in patterns and shapes. Whether it be through paint, music, or photography, Ellie's eye and ear when it comes to art is second to none. This talent is also quite telling of her imaginative mind. She's always envisioning new ideas and dreaming big dreams, bigger than Rosefell or Columbus, Ohio itself. The girl is incredibly passionate about her craft and her identity is heavily shaped by her artistic aspirations.

Other than her affinity to right-brained activities, Ellie is described by her friends as open, easy going and bubbly. You can always rely on her to be a sunny and bright spot on an otherwise gloomy day with her positive and cheery demeanor, and as she is unmistakably an extrovert, she will go out of her way to make an impact on others and show them that she cares. Kindhearted and loving, Ellie takes great pride and puts a heavy emphasis on showing and conveying her emotions to those that she holds close. Some might interpret it as her being sensitive, but it is simply how she expresses her feelings. It's not abnormal for her to remind her friends and loved ones every so often of how much she values having them in her life.

One of the negative things that come with being energetic is that Ellie can be inherently impulsive at times. She might jump to conclusions or say the wrong thing when she doesn't mean it (maybe even get herself into situations that aren't the best), but she always finds a unique way to think outside of the box and rewind in order to solve each predicament as they come her way.

Ellie's parents met at Rosefell High nearly 29 years ago. Although Jennifer was a sophomore and Michael was a senior getting ready to graduate, there was an unmistakable connection and chemistry between them that couldn't be ignored. They started dating, and shortly after they both graduated from Columbus State Community College a few years later, they got married and bought a house down the road from Jen's parents, settling down to start a family together. First came Gabriel, and then along came Ellie two years after.

For the first few years of the brunette's life, her mother stayed home with her and her brother while their father worked day shifts at the local Autobody shop. At night, they'd switch, and Ellie's mom would go to work at the local hospital as a nurse. This hand off wasn't by choice, but out of pure necessity, as money was quite tight in those beginning years. By the time that Ellie was 6, things were falling into place. Michael was working his way up the ranks at the shop and Jennifer was offered a position as the school nurse at Rosefell Elementary where the Roberts' children attended. For the first time, the Roberts' could enjoy their nights together as a family. They'd eat dinner together, play board games, run around outside, and read stories from old worn books. Her parents instilled creativity in their children, having them use their imaginations to make the most out of the least. Sticks from the woods were swords in their Pirate fights, pillows and blankets created castles fit for royalty, and a kiddie pool in their backyard was the ocean in their summer vacation paradise. Even though didn't have much, they were happy, and this time spent strengthened their bond.

A formative moment in Ellie's childhood was when she was roaming about the house as a toddler and stumbled across an old set of paints. The colors were what first grabbed her attention, but what really captivated her was the freedom she had to create something completely her own. It was a concept she didn't understand at the time, but looking back, it's clear that young Ellie liked to color outside the lines both metaphorically and literally. Although the back wall of the basement was ruined, the brunette had begun to forge her own path and set herself on a trajectory to where she is now as a budding artist.

Today, the Roberts' family is thriving. Ellie's father now owns the auto body shop (renamed Roberts' Auto Repair), her mother is still happily employed at the Elementary School, and her brother is off at Ohio State with plans to go to medical school. They still don't have everything, but they've certainly come a long way from where they first started. A junior at Rosefell, Ellie still has a while before graduating high school. However, knowing that college looms in the distance, she works two jobs in order to save up for tuition- on Tuesdays and Thursdays she runs an after school art program for middle schoolers, and on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays, she works at the local diner waitressing. She still isn't entirely sure how she's going to fund her way through Art school, but plans on applying for every scholarship under the sun. However, for now, she's soaking up her last few years at Rosefell and is ready to take on whatever the future throws at her.

At first glance, Hunter seems nearly harmless. People will talk, sure, but his bravado isn’t nearly as scary as when you meet him up close and get to know him a little better. The rumors of him being a problem child, someone whose ego doesn’t know any limits but new ones to create, and his ability to throw the first and last punch may have been greatly underexaggerated. He will in fact punch you in your face if you say something stupid (or what he perceives as stupid). He has a problem about being wrong, which in his case is a lot but that’s beside the point. He hates when he’s being called out about it and throws a two-year-old-level tantrum, which often leads to said punching. His attitude is nasty and teeters on unbearable.

But to some he considers very close friends, there are moments -- and with them, this is almost always his default setting -- Hunter is a delight to be around. He has an adventurer-like mindset and almos always will make you smile with his wit and actions. He knows all of the best ways to get by in this stupid town. If you back him up or he considers you a friend, you will always have him in your corner. Of course, this is assuming that Hunter doesn’t get you thrown in detention or jail because of his loyalty. His recklessness seems to come hand in hand with the fuzz or some authority-type of figure not far behind.

But hey! With Hunter, there is never a dull moment regardless if he’s being a pain in your ass or not.

The only thing stable about Hunter’s life -- both what it is right now and what it was like for him growing up -- was the fact that it wasn’t stable.

Born out of a loveless relationship that was too apparent to Hunter since he could understand exactly how much of a bastard his father was, his father, Ricky Quinn, was something of a turbulent storm that just got worse as the years went by. And his mother wasn’t any better. Emily Weston was just as much of a screw up as he was. The only saving grace that came out of their relationship was that her parents happened to recognize she needed help and sent her off to rehab shortly after giving birth to Hunter. But in doing so, they refused to do anything for Hunter and Ricky. Whether he liked it or not (he didn’t), hunter was stuck with him.

And what a fucking pleasure that was.

When they weren’t at each other’s throats, Ricky barely was around for Hunter to remain angry at him. Of course, he still held grudges from the time he found out what a grudge was, which wasn’t long after when he figured out he would have to grow up fast. Just imagine an eight-year-old realizing this. Some father Ricky is, huh?

And as he grew up, his anger festered with time. From fights and stints in juvie, whether Hunter would like to admit it or not, but he was just like his father: angry, bitter, and too pissed off at the world for his own good. But unlike Ricky, there was someone there for him.

At the height of his freshman year, just three months off of his early Juvi release, Hunter’s reputation of being a violent sociopath -- which was greatly exaggerated -- also landed him into some fights. Some with his own classmates but also with upperclassmen. He picked a fight with a few known gang members thinking he was hot shit. And after he was given a broken nose, eye, and a few bruised ribs, he found himself in the hospital. It was all very ugly but he was visited by the head coach for the Rosefell Knights, Coach Zachary Porter. He wasn’t in any mood to hear it, but being bedridden, he had no choice. The coach was disappointed that Hunter was in the position that he was. After a brief conversation, though, the coach had sweet-talked Hunter with the possibility of joining the football team. Hunter wasn’t sure, but the promise of being able to hit someone without getting into trouble (or winding up dead) was appealing to him.

He thought about it. And thought about it some more, but after nearly a week, Hunter accepted it. There was a part of him -- a hidden part he would never allow himself to let anyone but a chosen few see -- that felt like that was the first time anyone who didn’t want to kill him that showed any interest in what he was doing. The coach was the first male figure in his life that didn’t make him feel like shit. That resonated with him.

And to this day, he keeps up with his grades as minimally as he can with the only hope that he can stay on the team and bash in people’s faces without getting detention.

Samantha MacKenzie Queen

N/A

Female

Pansexual

Single

E-Girl

Samantha stands at a stout 5'5" and weighs a mere 115 lbs on a very small frame. Her hair is primarily a light brown with a few blonde highlights added in artificially. Samantha is very rarely seen without her signature makeup on -- eyeliner, concealer, foundation... the works! You'd have to catch her in very private and intimate moments to see her without her makeup on. It helps her disguise one of her biggest insecurities. Additionally, Samantha tends to wear clothing on the tighter side. Leggings, small t-shirts, and tank-tops make up a significant amount of her wardrobe, despite the rather not-ideal climate of Ohio. Samantha does not have any piercings at this time, but Samantha very so desperately wants to get a Sailor Moon symbol tattooed on her wrist.

Samantha can be described as a very ambitious girl who is also very much a go-getter. Samantha is surprisingly very adept at reading people and knowing what it takes to please people and whatever else they want, sometimes using that to her advantage. She is also rather self-centered and has very little regard for relationships and feelings, especially if they get in her way. Samantha has learned how to employ a high amount of energy and charisma to her advantage to further assist her toward achieving her goals. Additionally, she values her own goals and ambitions very highly, and she will do whatever it takes to get whatever edge she can on her journey to achieve her goals, even if it may be at the cost of other people and their well-being.

Samantha Queen was adopted from an orphanage in Cleveland, Ohio at a mere six months old by Isaac and Erin Queen. The two had decided from early on in their relationship that they weren't exactly enthusiastic about the prospect of having kids of their own when there were many kids in foster homes and orphanages across the entire world. They didn't have to go very far, however, to find Samantha. They just took one look at her lil baby lookin' ass and they fell in love! It didn't take much longer for them to adopt her into their family.

Little did Isaac and Erin know, their style of parenting was very enabling, which contributed to why Samantha is the way that she is today. The slightest hint of negative emotion from Samantha meant that Erin and Isaac dropped whatever the heck they were doing and appeased Samantha however they could. That meant Samantha got whatever she wanted, and she started to learn just how she could accomplish such a feat. As a result, she managed to get her parents to get her an assortment of video games since they appealed to her and she took quite a liking to them, despite her supposed lack of skill in them.

Today, she has a following on social media as she streams twice a week to her audience. Many people tune in to watch her play video games for hours at a time, not knowing that Samantha is still in high school. She manages to squeeze a decent amount of money from them, and has no intention of stopping, and every intention of squeezing even more money from them in the future.

Nikolai Ian Zabrecky

Nik or Niki, these are prefered to Nikolai

Non-binary, assigned male at birth

Never-been-kissed single virgin by day
Secretly talking to a Rosefell boy in DMs by night

The Quiet One/Misfit

Niki typically goes through life as a wallflower, quietly blending in with baggy clothes in muted colors. They don’t want to be noticed, not really. If someone does happen to notice them, that person will find a kind hearted and open-minded individual, despite their brokenness, perhaps even because of it. Silent and introverted, Nik much prefers listening to talking, especially now that their voice has grown deeper, which they don’t like to hear out loud. Regardless of insecurities, listening to others’ thoughts and ideas and feelings has always been better than dwelling on one's own struggles. The teen’s quiet nature can make them seem aloof and stoic, but they are by no means judgemental or closed off, they’re just… in their own head a lot of the time. Those closest to Niki know that they will fight more to support their friends than they ever would fight for themself. This combination of traits makes a Niki a hard friend to make, but a wonderful friend to have and keep.

It was obvious to Nikolai’s parents from a very young age that their son was different. On christmas he asked for both Tonka trucks and Barbie dolls. He would go outside and catch bugs and then come inside to play princess dress up with his older sister. Kids can be like that sometimes, so his parents didn’t think much of it. The other children didn’t seem to mind, so why should they, if Nikolai was doing what made him happy?

When Nikolai was in late elementary and early middle school, things grew more complicated. The girls in his class started wearing make-up and giggling about bras and boys. Nik wanted to be like them, so he talked to his parents about this and, because they loved him, his mother took him to the store and picked out some makeup and training bras. Nik proudly wore these things to school the next day.

At first, everything went unnoticed by his peers. The makeup was subtle, and the bra hidden safely under his shirt. Nik was confident and happy, feeling pretty, like he had always wanted to feel. This happiness was short lived, however, as adolescents tend to ostracize those who stray from the social norm. Niki dared to wear a dress after convincing his mother that it would be okay, and that his friends said it would be fine. It wasn’t okay, and those ‘friends’ laughed at him. Nikolai was brutally bullied by his fellow students, physically by the boys and socially by the girls. He quickly became a social outcast, labeled ‘freak’ and ‘gay’ and whatever other unclever nicknames the kids had cooked up on any particular day.

The bullying grew so intense that Nik’s parents had to relocate the whole family so that their child could attend a different school and have a brand new start at Liberty High for freshman year of high school. Unbeknownst to them, it was already too late, the internal damage had been done. Nikolai had become a different person; Their once bright and colorful child had faded to grey. The criticisms of his peers had become his own, yet amplified. The older he got, the less he felt like a he… but not completely like she, either. They became they, and they became no one.

A new school did little to improve Nik’s quality of life. They went to class and did their homework, because they had to. They came home and sat alone in their room, avoiding their parents and what few friends they had still managed to keep. Sometimes they would stare at the full length mirror behind their door for hours, a black sharpie in hand that they used to draw X’s above all of the flaws in their reflection. No one is sure when those markered X’s on the mirror turned into razor kisses on their skin, but they did. Niki intentionally picked out and wore baggy clothing to hide the scars and marks, and also to camouflage their body.

This downhill spiral of unseen psychological warfare and battles with self-harm led to where these struggles unfortunately sometimes do lead. Halfway through the spring semester of their sophomore year, Nik switched directions and intentionally cut deeper. Whether it was the sight of so much blood, or the sheer loss of it, Niki passed out almost immediately. They awoke in a hospital bed, confused and bandaged up with a very forlorn looking mother and father staring back at them. After a period of physical healing, Nik was checked into Treewit Psychiatric Hospital for Adolescents, where they were diagnosed with and treated for depression and anxiety related to Gender Dysphoria and disordered eating related to Body Dysmophic Disorder.

Their grades were good enough that they didn’t have to repeat sophomore year, but they did not return to Liberty High to take their final exams, and instead took them from their facility. Nik was released from Treewit midway through summer vacation where they spent most of their time healing and focusing on their hobbies: crafting, sewing, reading fantasy novels, and spending way too much time on the internet. Niki only met with his closest friends from Liberty High during the summer, who informed them that their school was closing and they’d be headed to Rosefell High in the fall instead. As for all of Niki’s other peers and classmates, they have not interacted with them since the day before Nik’s brush with death and mysterious disappearance from school. This will, no doubt, be a topic of gossip when they finally do return to the school halls. Or maybe… nobody but Nik’s best friends even noticed that they were gone.

If you think you’re on Miki’s level, rethink your life, sweetie. There is nobody, not at Liberty and not at Rosefell -- especially Rosefell -- who is on her level. And that’s a fact.

Or at least the princess likes to think that.

Truth be told, Miki isn’t exactly a good person. She likes to think that she is. To her, she thinks she’s freaking magnificent. Caring to those she considers her subjects and devoted to making sure they idolize her. That’s obviously what a ruler should hope for. And boy does she feed off of the attention. Being adored and praised makes her feel good about herself. Of course, she has the highest opinion of herself so that should tell you exactly how much having the validation of her “peers” means to her.

But don’t let this phoniness fool you in the slightest. On the surface, she might be happy to be around people who aren’t in her inner-circle, but there’s an ugliness about Miki. it’s something she hides well because she has her poker face down to an artform, but she is an incredibly judgmental person who is also often hypocritical. Think of her as a Regina George with the poise of royalty and all of the genuine personality of Kylie Jenner. Just think about that for a moment and you’ll understand just what kind of ugly person she is. It’s not that she had a tough childhood or anything, but being around so much privilege allowed her to develop this sense of superiority that found a home where humility should be.

If she does have friends, Miki is selective about who she trusts completely. She’s one of those people who would prefer to have something over her “friends” so she can trust them while having a safety net to fall back on in the worse case scenario.

Dear Diary,

Today was a great day for the world.

On May 29th, 2002, when it was likely hot or cold somewhere, I came into the world. I know, it’s not like my birth was God had a hand in it. Oh wait, yes she did. God is a Woman by the way. I know everyone will be angry I said that, but I am only speaking facts.

Wait where was I? Oh, right!

So anyway, I came into the world. Born to the name of Park Mi-Kyong. I know for you American’s, it’s hard to fathom, so you can just call me Miki. Or Princess Miki. Actually, I definitely prefer you to call me a princess. Momma and Daddy wouldn’t like it if you didn’t treat me with the respect like I know they expect you to show me. You know, daddy is a hotshot CEO. His family’s company is one of those international ones that own everyone’s asses.

Sorry daddy, I didn’t mean to curse. I know it’s unladylike but morons won’t learn if you don’t stoop to their level.

And speaking of my wonderful parents, Daddy is Philip Lambert. He’s got a few siblings but I don’t know them that well. They live on the east coast. I also got a few cousins who live in Palm Beach. Again, don’t know them. Mom was born in Seoul but moved to Columbus around the same time she met Daddy. Mom’s name is Ahnjong. A lot of her American colleagues just call her Annie. It’s so demeaning cause momma’s name is so beautiful and pristine. But I guess sheep really will stick to their guns. I respect that.

Oh and momma is a doctor. Neurosurgeon. Of course, Daddy wouldn’t marry someone who wasn’t intelligent. How do you think I became so utterly amazing? Like duh!

Anyway, I grew up on the best side of town. You know the part of Columbus that wasn’t anywhere near those thugs who attend Rosefell. Like why on god’s green earth would I ever want to venture into the slums of Rosefell when I am perfectly content in Liberty? Ugh, it’s like you expect me to mingle with them. I won’t! And you can’t make me.

...Calm down, Miki. It’s not like you would ever have to leave your wonderful life and your superior school. Nothing in the world would.

Okay, maybe the school closing down would.

Is it too late to live with my cousin Stella in Florida? King’s Academy accepts transfer students, right?

⇉ His Twitter handle is @princessliberty. She has close to 250k followers. Try not to faint at how impressed you are.
⇉ She has a background in gymnastics, so cheerleading is a clear no duh for her. That and she likes to think she looks hot in a leotard. And she would even pose for pictures if the right photographers wanted them.
⇉ Appearances are everything to her and her worst fear is being judged for who she likes, so she dates boys only to uphold these superficial notions that anyone cares about who she likes. But to her, the only opinion that matters is hers and she doesn’t want to come to terms with that yet..

Bi-curious following a string of failed relationships

Single ATM

Alpha Cheerleader, Queen of the Thorns

Melissa was born October 24, 2002 in Columbus, Ohio. Her mother Jessica was just 18 and was immediately disowned by her parents for baring a child out of wedlock, so she moved in with the baby's father, a 22-year-old itinerant mechanic named Luke Clarett. As first, things seemed stable enough, but soon Luke started dallying about, drinking on the job, and bemoaning his lot in life. By the time Jessica's sister Zoey was born, the fighting was starting to get loud. Eventually it built up to a cold February evening, when Melissa was four and witnessed Jessica throwing a drunken Luke out of the house. Luke slammed the door and was never seen again, leaving Jessica to raise two daughters on her own in the two bedroom duplex.

Jessica did the best she could, and used whatever tricks she had to make sure her daughters had the best life. Whether it was stealing the slightly-broken toys from the Toys 'R Us dumpster to repurpose as presents, or leaving a 16-year-old in charge of the entire top floor to make it to one of Melissa's gymnastics events. She was determined to make sure she nurtured her kids in ways her parents never did, and that determination bore fruit with Melissa, who proved a very capable student and a fine-enough athlete that her dancing and gymnastic lineage translated well into something that Melissa immediately took an interest to: cheerleading.

When she reached Rosefell High, Melissa tried out in her first year and made the Knights squad as a cheerleader. Immersed in the culture, Melissa quickly took a liking to the social status that cheering offered and the sheer control she had over her school life at that time. Being a cheerleader made you almost untouchable in school, and she used that ability to continue to get what she want. With her mom feeding her as much swag from work as she could, she remained on top of the latest trends and established herself as one of the queens of her year. However, that didn't translate to finding that king to her queen as she dumped numerous members of the Knights' football team, from Jaylen Thompson to Hunter Quinn to Marcus Prescott. It's made her question some things about herself, but that is the least of her problems. As she gets set for her final year of high school, and her new status as cheerleading captain, Melissa is ready to take these last two semesters by storm and make sure she firmly plants her flag as a legend of Rosefell for years to come.

Sasha Pieterse | CE0F3D

• As much as she hates being reminded that she is not the most famous Melissa Elliott and likely never will be, she does enjoy the music of Missy, as well as other hip-hop, pop and pop punk acts. Not soundcloud rap though. That stuff is lame.
• Her favorite food is her mom's corn flake-baked chicken, which gets made on special occasions when Jessica has time.
• She is fiercely protective of her little sister, and will go full-on berserk mode if anyone dares harm her. Although she worries how Zoey will fare on her own once Melissa is out of school.
• Her Twitter and Instagram handles are both @queenofthorns, a nod to the Rose section of Rosefell, and she has 4,000 followers on the birb and 1,500 on the gram, because she's better with her mouth than her terrible phone camera.
• Melissa's dream is to graduate from OSU and run her own business. What that business is, she isn't sure yet.
• She has had confusing thoughts about Ariana Grande in a cheerleading uniform that she is still trying to work through.
• Her ride is a 2011 silver Nissan Sentra, given to Melissa by her mom on her 16th birthday when she traded in for a lease on a 2017 model.

JayVaughn Marcel Spencer

JJ, Jay, Show-Off

Male

Bisexual

Single

The Wide Receiver | Jock

Anyone who knows JJ knows that he enjoys a good laugh. Whether it be on the football field, in the classroom, or during lunch or any other social gathering, you can always count on JJ to find ways to make those around him smile. A true goofball at heart, JJ loves seeing others happy, and will go to great lengths in order to do so, whether it be by cracking a few clever jokes or performing one of his signature touchdown dances in the end zone. His goofiness also ties in with his heavily flirtatious ways. Truth be told, JJ would flirt with anyone breathing, regardless if he's romantically interested in them or not. He enjoys the banter. Where's the harm in a little innocent teasing? Jay is also an optimistic guy, and is very hopeful about his future despite how bleak things seem to be at the moment. He has a tendency to try and see the bright side of every situation, as well as the best in all people until they show him otherwise.

It's no secret that JJ is a little cocky, specifically when it comes to his football and dancing skills. He knows that he's got talent, and almost always starts a little drama on the field with his shit-talking and showboating. He knows how to fire up the team and the crowd with his ways, and will never hesitate to do so. An impulsive person by nature, JJ often does things without completely thinking them through. This is easily seen by how many risks he takes, both on the field and off. Jay also tends to be pretty secretive when it comes to certain things such as his home life; although he knows that nobody (yet) at Rosefell is rolling in riches, he still can't help but feel as though inviting his friends over to a place where he doesn't even have his own bedroom or introducing them to his dysfunctional family would be too big of an embarrassment.

JayVaughn was born in Detroit, Michigan to Brenda and Moe Spencer, a couple in their late twenties who'd been together for only five months before conceiving their firstborn child. Soon after JJ's birth, the pair moved their little family to a small apartment downtown, which was all that they could afford with Moe's job at the local auto shop and whatever money Brenda made on the side from braiding hair. Life was good for the first few years of JJ's life. Despite growing up in poverty, he could always count on his parents to love him unconditionally and supply him with all he needed to grow into the young man he was destined to be. It wasn't until JJ was eleven years old and finally took note of his mother's opioid addiction that things started to take a turn for the worse.

Slowly but surely, Brenda began to spiral out of control; it wasn't long before the woman began to use money that had originally been set aside for JJ to purchase from her usual heroin dealer. She started growing increasingly distant from both her boyfriend and son, often opting to stay out later than usual, which meant that JJ would be home alone for hours on end until his father returned from work. There were even a few instances where she'd grow so angry with her child that she'd hit him repeatedly until it was out of her system. It was when these beatings began that Moe finally reached his breaking point and decided to take matters into his own hands. All JayVaughn remembered was being woken up in the middle of the night and carried to the backseat of his father's car, where he'd remain for a few hours before arriving in Columbus, Ohio.

Ida Mae Spencer, Moe's mother, was a woman in her early seventies who'd been living in Columbus her entire life; it was in her moderate sized, two bedroom home that Moe had grown up before moving to Detroit. Ida now lived in the home with her husband of twenty years and two of her other grandchildren, both of them only slightly younger than JJ. This was the first place that Moe thought to take his son while he helped rehabilitate Brenda. "I'll only be gone for a few months," he'd told JJ as he pulled two large suitcases from the trunk and handed them over to Ida Mae. "Three months tops, and then I'll come back to get you. We'll be a happy family again." But soon, three months turned into six. And six months turned into a year. It took two full years for JJ to finally come to terms with the fact that he'd probably never hear from his parents again.

It was football that got JJ through one of the toughest periods of his life. Football and dancing. It was during his last year of middle school that he found that, although his life wasn't the best, he had the ability to not only entertain and amuse others, but also the talent to ensure that his future kids would never have the kind life that he did. Freshman year, JJ was one of the few 9th graders on the Varsity team, and it was no surprise to any when he became a starter the very next year. Boy, was he fast. One of the fastest receivers in the city, that was for sure. And now that he's in his Senior year, all that Jay is really focused on is becoming the best that he can be in preparation for the future that lies ahead.
