Alright, updated the profile again, this time with social links go!- Yeah you get the idea.

Didn't add Isis because silly Sezir never told me which way they wanted which way the character relationship was going to roll. Will also add WolfsRose character when they come back from whatever vacation/finals they're on.

Spring Outfit
Work Outfit
Name:
Isabelle 'Izzie' McKenzie

Age:
Eighteen

Gender:
Female

Birthday:
Summer 19

Role:
Waitress
Also runs errands (at the inn or clinic especially) when the café has a slow day

Likes:
- Singing, listening to music. ♪
- Pranks, jokes, anything that makes her laugh.
- Having fun.
- Lemon cakes—all types of cakes, actually, but lemon cakes are her favorite.
- Particularly vibrant flowers, especially sunflowers.
- Thunderstorms. She likes to frolic and dance around when it's raining, and she finds the sound of thunder rather soothing.
- Having fun. It's there twice because she likes to have twice as much fun as other people~

Dislikes:
- Ghosts. It's a secret, of course, but she's never been good with anything related to the occult.
- Strict rules, and those that force her to abide by them.
- Uptight people who can't take a joke. Seriously, loosen up a little.
- Long work days without any time for fun.

Personality:
A known troublemaker, the sprightly Izzie believes it is her utmost duty to bring fun to the sleepy town and liven up everyone's day using any means necessary. She likes to joke around and pull harmless (or at least she thinks they're harmless) pranks on unsuspecting victims, all in hopes of spreading joy. If there ever comes a day when she doesn't laugh at least once, that could only mean it's the end of the world. Jaunty and a little reckless, there are times when she ends up unwittingly crossing the line. Her motives have never once been filled with, or fueled by, malice though. She just needs constant reminding that life isn't fun and games all the time.

Despite her penchant for mischief, Izzie is a natural people person with an infectious personality. She is nothing if not genuine, as anyone can tell by her hearty laughter and her ear-to-ear grins. It's perhaps both a blessing and a curse that she is as ignorant of established societal norms. On one hand, she is as open-minded as can be, and there is very little that perturbs her. She can behind any idea or exploit; the more convoluted and ridiculous, the better. If it sounds even the slightest bit of fun, you can bet she's on board. On the other hand, she cares very little about personal boundaries. She can be brutally honest if not censored, and more private people may find her innocently invasive habits unsettling.

Of course, Izzie isn't just a prankster with a devil-may-care attitude. While she is very prone to goofing around, she is surprisingly committed to her job, actually putting in more effort than is expected of her. It's hard to see her as a hardworker when it seems like she's always playing a game, but she does everything asked of her quite efficiently.

Background:
Izzie was born to two aspiring showbiz talents, both far too young and career-oriented to have properly taken care of a child. Her parents decided that it would best to leave her in someone else's care, so she was shipped off to Lily Town before she was even a year old. There, she would be raised by her maternal grandfather, who worked at the inn at the time. Izzie wouldn't get to see her parents until she turned seven. They came to the Valley under the pretense of wanting to see their growing daughter, but in actuality, it was little more than an attempt to elude the paparazzi hounding them at the time. They didn't even stay long enough to get to know her. As soon as it became clear that the tabloids would no longer be a problem, her parents immediately flew back to the city, leaving her with gifts as if it would make up for their absence.

Growing up, Izzie had very little constraints. Her grandfather was incredibly doting, and he constantly spoiled her with his affections. He had blamed himself for estranging his only daughter—he had spiraled into depression after losing his wife— and had therefore made sure not to repeat the same mistakes with his granddaughter. Where he was once distant and unyielding, he was now open and compliant. Instead of scolding her every time she caused trouble at school, he laughed with her as she told him of her latest antics. He was even proud when she had become infamous amongst the townspeople before she turned ten, responding to their many complaints only with an affectionate smile. As far as her grandfather was concerned, she was happy and that was all that mattered.

When she turned fifteen, her grandfather suddenly took ill. It wore him down, gradually making him weaker until he had to be constantly bedridden. At the time, her parents were knee-deep in a financial crisis of their own, so they had stopped sending her money. With her grandfather in desperate need of medication, Izzie had taken to doing odd jobs around the town. She ran errands for the shop owners and filled in wherever she can, until she finally found a permanent position at Daisy's Café.

As advised by the doctor, her grandfather had to move to the more peaceful and relaxing Flora Falls, where his close friend could watch over him 24/7. Izzie had to stay in Lily Town to continue her work, but she visits him frequently. She currently stays at the inn, where she gets a discount in return for the side work she does for them. In the same light, she runs errands for the clinic in exchange for a reduced price in her grandfather's medication.

Skills:
- Izzie's quite a talented singer, and she's surprisingly dedicated to honing her craft.
- She's pretty innovative, actually. It's just a shame that all her creative energy is spent on her pranks and silly antics.
- Izzie is also good with people—how else do you think she could get away with everything's she done so far? She knows how to turn on the charm~

Relationships:
Alex Garnet: Izzie is quite fond of Alex. She thinks she's quite amusing, and she always has a blast (often at Alex's expense, as she has taken to affectionately teasing her) when she drops by at the bar. It gets her every time Alex takes a sarcastic comment literally—it's just too funny—but Izzie points it out to her as soon as she's regained her composure. Izzie's admires how hard she works on becoming more comfortable around people, because she can see that it isn't easy for her sometimes.

Henry Manteel: She's heard of the newest farmer in the Valley, but they've never formally met. Izzie could have sworn he's visited the café at least once, however.

Everett Micheals: Izzie frequently goes to the clinic to get her grandfather's medicine, so she's gotten to know Everett quite a bit. Because the doctor doesn't like exerting himself too much, Izzie often volunteers to do anything that requires strenuous physical labor. When she's bored and she sees the he's not too busy, she likes to drop by just to ask him some random and silly medical questions.

Elizabeth 'Eli' Stern: The mysterious girl! Since they're the same age, Izzie has been trying to befriend her ever since she moved in a month ago, but her attempts don't seem to be well-received. Still, Izzie persistently tries to engage her in a conversation at least once a day. She has a feeling that Eli's holding back a lot, and she wants her to at least try to just let loose and have fun.

Gaku Yamamoto: Izzie considers Gaku one of her closest friends. She doesn't get fazed by his tough guy persona (like everything else, she thinks it's amusing), and she can be just as blunt as him, so they don't need necessarily need filters around each other. They can banter without worrying out hurting the other's feelings. Izzie usually hangs out with him whenever she's not busy working or prowling about the town in her super awesome quest to spread fun. She's also a big fan of his music, and she often finds herself humming his songs after she has listened to him play.

Isis Thorne: Izzie likes to visit the flower shop on her free time to look at the flowers and just talk to Isis. The florist is a really good listener and she has an amazingly soothing aura, so she Izzie's go-to when she's feeling unusually down.

Rosemary Bates: …who? Just kidding! Rosemary's a bit hard to get close to, so Izzie doesn't know her too well. She's heard her play before, though, and she thinks she's pretty good. Izzie thinks it's pretty entertaining when Rosie and Alex converse, because sometimes she feels like the two hardly get on the same page.

Other:
Never eat anything she cooks, or that will be the last thing you'll ever do.

CUTE CHARACTER. Accepted, but there is no Summer 24 as months only go to day 20. I can make a cafe for your character to work in and add an NPC boss for her if you want?

Thanks! :D I wasn't sure what I was going to do with the actual boss, so that'd help a lot.
I've also changed her birthday to nineteen and added an in-game appearance for fun~

Out of curiousity...are supernatural things like goddesses and witches a common thing in the world? Or is it more like an isolated phenomenon that's only present in Lily of the Valley and a few other places?

I'd like to think it is an isolated phenomenon only around small towns and lands like the Valley. The Goddess would probably appear in lands where people believe in her, meanwhile Witches are just things that happen. Some people are born with strange magical powers and are then shunned by humans, leading to most of them becoming hermits.

Also, added Daisy Cafe to the first post.

Would you say that the vast majority of humans don't believe in stuff like magic and divine deities then? I was thinking of a scientist/explorer/barbarian sort of person who settled in Lily of the Valley to do research on the existence of the supernatural, as well as a way to preserve/protect them. Sorta like an environmentalist, I guess?

Yes, the vast majority don't believe in magic and deities, places like Lily in the Valley are rare in this game's world, but are the only reasons that these deities and religions don't die out because they keep passing the stories and legends down and they still believe in such things. I think that role is a wonderful idea and await your character.
I AM NO LONGER ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS. I am awaiting CSs from jennifer lost the war, ERode, and Darcness. The game will start soon. NPCs have been created for all non-taken important roles. Please over look these characters and remember they are always available for you to use.

Interesting character Chezka, we might actually have someone who Gaku is actually kind of friendly with. At the very least they will probably know each other if they both stay at the Inn, per usual. But you tell me before I go and update the character relationships.

In other news, the opening post looks pretty good! I'll try and follow up with some crazy Inn antics.

I'll have my sheet up tonight. I'm halfway through.

I was wondering if you'd be willing to make a thread in the character sheets section for the RP? We could post all our stuff there so we're not going through the OOC pages here to find them. Just think it's neater/easier that way. You could also use the first post of that thread to do the relationship chart thing that somebody mentioned.

Here are some ideas for Izzie's relationships. I'll edit in the finalized version once I've gotten everyone's input, and post it in the repository after. :)

Alex: I feel like Izzie would think she's amusing. She laughs every time Alex takes a sarcastic comment literally, but points it out to her afterwards. Izzie would take to fondly teasing her, too.

Henry: She's probably heard of the newest farmer in the Valley, but I don't know if they've ever met. Maybe he's been a patron at Daisy's café?

Everett: Izzie frequently goes to the clinic to get her grandfather's medicine, so I feel like she and the doctor should be well acquainted. Because Everett doesn't like exerting himself too much, Izzie would probably volunteer to do anything that requires strenuous physical labor. I can also see her popping in the clinic just to ask him some random medical questions because she's bored.

Eli: Since they're the same age, Izzie would probably want to befriend her. They're opposites to some degree, but I think they have that sort of 'unlikely friends' vibe. Izzie likes to talk, so she'll constantly try to engage her in a conversation. She'll probably try to recruit her in one of practical jokes, too.

Gaku: I agree with you! I think they'd actually be good friends (and maybe comfortable enough to throw affectionate insults at each other?). They seem to have a lot in common, and I can see them somehow bonding over their affinity for music. Izzie doesn't get fazed by Gaku's tough guy persona (like everything else, she thinks it's amusing), and she can be just as blunt as him, so they don't need necessarily need filters around each other.

Isis: Izzie likes to visit the flower shop on her free time to look at the flowers and just talk to Isis. The florist is a really good listener and she has an amazingly soothing aura, so she Izzie's go-to when she's feeling unusually down.

Here's what I've thought of so far~

-Alex Garnet: Has seen the girl once or twice while wandering, and knows that she is the bartender of the Azalea Bar. Doesn't have any ill will towards her as of yet, seeing as they haven't conversed before, and is somewhat curious about what Alex is actually like. Eli has plans to visit the bar soon, but has been a bit antsy about it as she's never been to a bar before.

-Gaku Yamamoto: Normally sees Gaku around the Inn and sometimes he will greet her, to which she will reply with a greeting back. Gaku's punkish appearance sort of turned her away from him the first time she met the boy, and hearing him talk so bluntly to others didn't help with that, but she has heard his guitar playing before while lounging in the forest and has since wanted to ask him about his music.

- Everett Micheals: Eli has heard about the calm and collected doctor while running some errands, and might have seen him once or twice by his clinic but hasn't shared a formal word with him. Might go in for a check-up soon, though.

-Isis Thorn: Has seen the woman in her shop while exploring the town, and they have at least greeted each other once. Eli likes the flower shop and enjoys the bouquets and arrangements that Isis has created. Sometimes she stops by to relax and maybe even sketch.

-Izzie McKenzie: Sees the woman in the Inn mostly, and finds her attitude and teasing to be rather annoying, but has withheld any rudeness for the time being. Eli is rather jealous of Izzie's beauty and personality, though she doesn't show it. Izzie has been rather friendly towards her, though, and has tried to start conversations, but Eli can't really handle her yet.

-Henry Manteel: Eli has heard of the farmer but has never actually met him. Wishes to inquire him about his vegetables and fruit, though.

Aaaaaand finished.

Character sheet updated, made the introduction post, and posted the character sheet in the character sheet thread. Now to get back to everybody.

@Chezka - Yeah, that sounds good. I went with your suggestion, even threw in the affection little jests at each other you mentioned, just so we could have some cheeky moments.
@Liriia - Pretty much same as above. Sounds good, and is pretty close to what I put on my sheet as well. I totes approve.

@Chezka: Cool, that works. Alex would have initially thought her pranking and gibes were genuinely mean-spirited -- but it would've been pointed out to her soon enough that she isn't, by the bar owner or someone. Every time she teases her, she has to consciously remind herself that she's not serious -- often resulting in forced and very nervous laughter. Otherwise, she admires Izzie's people skills, and enjoys her constant energy. She hopes to learn a thing or two from her.

Rosemary: Unlike Izzie, Alex isn't as fond of Rosemary because she believes that her sardonic gibes are out of a genuine wish to hurt her -- whether she actually does or not. She constantly fears that she's misunderstanding the woman somehow, due to her lack of overt expression and use of sarcasm. Therefore, she's constantly on alert when Rosemary is around in hopes of not accidentally misconstruing her -- which Alex finds to be quite stressful.

Shall work on rest of relationships in my CS.

EDIT: Nice IC posts, guys. I'll get one up sometime today.
