| Personality |
Mandie is, first and foremost, not an athlete.
She will talk to them because she has to. She was born to two by fate. She will give athletes a chance when talking to them. But Mandie herself is completely and entirely not an athlete.
Instead, Mandie is a journalist for a small-town paper in New Mexico. She’s introverted and modest, finding it challenging to speak to large groups at times, especially during parties. One of her greatest social challenges is a sudden change of plans, even if it’s something small like getting a spoon instead of a fork or going to a different restaurant than planned, because she’s not very adaptable. She doesn’t grow angry often, but when she becomes angry, it takes her a while to return to normal, and she doesn’t hide it well. She tends to hug the walls at large social events, and even at mealtimes, she’ll stay away from the others.
Many people start out distant with others and then open up as time goes on. Mandie goes the other way. She is very friendly and open in the beginning, but as time goes by and her opinions of others evolve, she will cut off ties, suddenly stop talking, or grow very attached to a person. Opening up for her is a way of icebreaking, because it shows the innermost personality of another person, not just the superficial things like ‘favorite color’ or ‘career path.’
She is currently in a very rough long-distance relationship with a 22-year-old European. Although they connect on the superficial level, she feels that he cannot connect with her beyond that, and the distance makes things even tougher. Therefore, although she is in a relationship, she could find herself growing romantically interested in another person.
And I know this is appearance, not personality, but she tends to overdress just slightly. She frequently wears patterned skirts and blouses or sweaters. She can always be found with her journal, either writing or sketching.

| Place Of Origin |
Born in Cleveland, Ohio; now in New Mexico

| History |
Mandie’s childhood, in short, is filled with plenty of disagreements about what she ought to be.
Her fights with her parents began by the age of seven. Her mother had placed her in soccer and basketball teams without her consent, resulting in a bitter, cutthroat argument that lasted an hour and ended in a relationship that remains tainted. Her father, busy with being a successful football coach, was fairly absent, but agreed with Mandie’s mother that she ought to be athletic and continue the family’s traditions. When asked about her parents or compared to them, she tends to become irritable, since she has little respect for them.
On her 18th birthday, her bags were packed and car full of gas. When her parents left the house for work, she made the very long drive to a small town in New Mexico, where she resides today. She went to a community college, and because she was cut off from her parents’ financial support, she is drowning in student loans and living in a small apartment. Still, she has no desire to return to the life she had with her family. Instead, she prefers to carve her own path in life so her achievements are reached independently.
So why the trip? In simple terms, Mandie wants a restart. Since moving to New Mexico, she has yet to truly settle in and become comfortable, make friends, find her true place in the world. She feels in flux. Therefore, her goal on the trip is to meet some people and learn more about herself and the world. Her family probably isn’t okay with her leaving, but that hasn’t stopped her before!

| Extra |
Her favorite food is tomato soup.

[Aletheias]

Yes yes!!! More characters!! >:D

@MushyKetchup

Accepted. I like Maddie, I think she'd make a good match for them. We need more guys though! It's becoming a lot of females. Which is okay, but I was hoping for a more even balance on this rp.

@DisguisedDemon

Sorry. I can make her a shapeshifter, but something tells me that's not quite the mood we're going for. XD Thanks for approving! Will post right away.

[DisguisedDemon]

No no. Hopefully we get more people who like to play guys.

| Personality |
Allia was never a nice girl. She was never in that category even if she smiled at strangers or held the door open for others. Allia is a teasing chick that is a fan of having a good laugh. However, she doesn't do sweet talk and she will not tell white lies just to make you feel better. Allia doesn't make the best first impression on people due to the fact that she won't smile when meeting them. She'll look them up and down and make her own assumption that she wouldn't count on but she'd have it there. Allie doesn’t like to judge people but she does have a wild imagination. Not judging people was more about how she didn’t believe they were worth it rather than being nice. Because of this, people tend to think that she’s snobby.

She’s always gotten into fights easily. Especially with girls since they often have an issue with her “flirting” with their boyfriends even though they come onto her. However, Allia can handle herself in a physical fight. She hates it when people take pity on her or act like they care when they barely even know her. Liars are people that she cannot tolerate.

All in all, you can see that Allia has always been that girl to do what she wants. Before, people thought she was some sort of bad girl because of her attitude though she got straight A’s and went to medical school. Allia does love children though. You can see an obvious change in attitude when children are involved. She’d never want her own but she sure does like to take care of other kids. A sweet girl but not one to show it really ever to people around her that are her age. She’d rather not get attached to people and instead she wants to just be entertained.

| Place Of Origin |
London, England

| History |
In high school, Allia didn’t have much friends. She was that girl that looked a bit sweet but at the same time had an edge. A lot of rumors had spread about her when she beat up a chick that was bullying a freshmen. It was to the point that the kid had attempted suicide. That guy was her only friend for a long time. Of course, she got suspended for a while but that was about it. Allia loved the few friends she had an was very protective of them. Eventually, they grew up. The one that had gotten bullied went off to law school and a few of her other friends are out doing god knows what. She didn’t have a choice. Her parents had a goal set out for her since she was young. Submit to gender roles and be pretty and get a husband to take care of or go to medical school and get a good degree. They didn’t really have high expectations for her. All they did was work but that work got her living in a mansion so of course she just seemed like a privileged brat to people around her.

After going to medical school she realized that she loved it but she was bored. She wanted to try out something new. She who had gotten all of the latest fashion trends, went to galas, and got out of whatever trouble she got herself in felt like it was time to maybe help some people. So, she signed up and her parents were pissed. They didn’t understand why she had to join that went they donated to some charity every month. In their eyes, they were giving people and she was meant to just make some money not go out and help people when they had nothing to do with her. Of course, she just flipped them off and left. So that’s how she ended up here.

| Extra |
-Allia can't help but roll her eyes when her head hurts. And often she does this at a bad time.
