[CHAR] Room Number 405

[SamaraJayne96]

Mrs. Cornelia Anderson

Nickname: Andie, Mrs. Anderson, Anderson-Sensei.

Age: 32 Years Old

Gender: Female

Sexual Orientation: Straight

Personality:
Mrs. Anderson can be best described as reserved, organized, and attentive. She is very intellegent, and shows it in every way possible. Unlike most counselors, she doesn't act like the world is a bright, and positive atmosphere all the time. She actually listens intently to what others have to say, and tends to put herself in her subjects shoes. Compassionate, yet brutal. She is not afraid to sugarcoat anything and always speaks her mind. As far as her counseling sessions go, she runs a strict operation. Which was sometimes necessary in situations such as this since a lot of the people who attend her sessions do not come willingly.

Biography:
Cornelia had attended Oxbridge Academy in her youth. Even though she had graduated with some of the best grades in her class, Mrs. Anderson had suffered from emotional scars as well. Her home life had been normal. White picket fence, golden retriever, kind and doting parents, an only child. However, at school it was known throughout campus that she was often a victim of bullying. Even though the faculty knew of the problem, little was done to rectify it. Most of the popular girls would corner her and pick on her to raise their own self esteem. While they would cheer at pep rallys and attend parties, Cornelia would much rather have had her nose stuck in a book. Nasty rumors were spread about her, she constantly was the subject of horrible pranks.

Instead of letting all the negativity consume her, she decided to dedicate her life into making sure that if anyone endured a situation similar to hers, that they would have someone to confide in. Someone that she would have needed in the past. She decided to pursue a career field dedicated to Psychology, a subject she had been obsessed with for quite some time. Having graduated at Yale with her doctorate, it surprised many colleagues to learn that she had chosen a career as a simple school counselor. Granted, the institution had a prestigious reputation... but the job title itself was of lower class.

Cornelia now spends most of her time at the academy counseling and uplifting downtrodden students. During the staff meeting it was her idea to put room 405 into action. As such was her inspiration, it was an obvious choice to put her in charge of the program. She selected the students due to the notes she would receive from concerned teachers, parents, and her own observations in various private sessions. She usually spends her spare moments at home reading or playing with her cat.

Ramona Jade

Age: 18

Gender: Female

Sexual Orientation: Bisexual-Polyamourous

Personality:
Ramona had been diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder a few years ago. Otherwise known as multiple personality disorder. Having undergone a traumatic experience in her childhood, the result was her brain coping by fragmenting her personal identity into two different characters.

Her first personality can be described as kind, gentle, creative, and shy. Ray likes to spend most of her time reading, painting, playing the cello, or sometimes dancing when the mood strikes. She has a huge heart and once you get to know her she can be very loving. This can be difficult to achieve however, due to her extremely shy nature. Having horrible social anxiety, this has caused her to have absolutely no friends. Though no one really bullies her, due to her condition other students have thought of her as rather odd. Too odd to even associate with.

Her second personality is the exact opposite. Ramona is sarcastic, vengeful, outgoing, tough, protective, and just a total bad-ass. This side of her can be described as the Tsundere personality. People will only see this side of Ramona when she feels extremely uncomfortable, or in danger. It is a way for the real Ray to protect herself. This personality likes to hurt people who may have hurt the shy Ramonas feelings. She is very protective of her other persona and thinks of her as a beloved sister. In class, this persona often gets them both in trouble by causing mischief and chaos during most lessons.

Biography:
Ramona Jade is the heiress to Jade Jewelers. Her parents are in charge and own a series of jewelry stores. Ray's family was like any other wealthy family. Her parents were usually too busy with work or their own social engagements to really pay attention to the poor girl. Up to a certain age Ray had been raised by the staff that had run the household while her parents were away. Mostly consisting of maids, butlers, gardeners, etc. Meaning, that most of the time she was left alone. Her only company being herself.

Well since her family was worth billions, it was easy to imagine that Ramona would be a target for those looking to make a fortune through despicable means. One day, when Ramona was only twelve years old, a few men had broken into the Jade mansion. Having snuck into Rays room, they kidnapped her. Their plan was to leave a ransom note asking for a total of one billion dollars in exchange for the safe return of their beloved child. They took her to an old house on the other side of the city. It was warn down, condemned. But it served their purpose by having a cellar with no way out other than the entrance that was always locked or guarded.

Since her parents had been away on vacation at the time (as usual), no one could get ahold of them right away. This only caused her captors to grow agitated and to take their anger out on the poor girl. Unspeakable acts had been done to her, and not all of them being just violent. They had also been perverted and played psychological games. When her parents were finally contacted and had learned of the situation, they immediately sought out those who had taken their most precious gem.

Unfortunately, by the time the authorities had found the child, it was too late. The captors had driven Ramona insane and as a way of coping her personality had separated in an attempt to survive. Her Tsundere persona had lashed out, and with only a shard of broken glass she either injured or killed everyone that had held her hostage. All they had found upon their arrival were individuals who were either dead or unconscious. While Ramona sat in a corner curled into a ball sobbing uncontrollably.

Mrs. Anderson thought it would be best that in addition to their daily individual therapy sessions that Ramaona attend the after school program as well. Mainly it was an effort on the counselors part to get Rays nice personality to make friends. Hoping that if she could live day to day as her "normal" self that eventually her "psycho" self would simply fade away.

[Joshua Tamashii]

Name:



Nickname:
AAA, though she dislikes this one
Ame

Age:
14

Gender:
Female

Sexual Orientation:
Straight

Personality:
Amelia is a very shy and reclusive girl, which is not helped by her muteness and fondness for quiet places. Preferring the company of nature to the company of other humans, Amelia tends to shun social gatherings in order to spend time by herself and go for a walk around town, particularly the local parks and gardens. However, she is not completely anti-social. Once one can get past her shy personality and inability to talk, they can find a girl who values the company of others, especially those she counts among her friends. She is willing to listen to them and let them vent their griefs to her and help them get over their problems so long as it is within her ability and she feels that 'helping' will not hurt them more.

Like all people though, she is not without her downsides. Other then her overly shy nature, Amelia lacks any and all traces of self-confidence. She views her sketches and paintings as average or, more often, below average, despite that fact that they are very detailed and realistic works of art. She is also scared that she won't live up to the expectations of others, especially her parents and those she considers friends. To her, disappointing them is tantamount to failing at life. While she is eager the please others, she has a strong sense of right and wrong and will not do anything she views as wrong, even if pressured to do so. If she loses a friend doing something she knows is right, she at least takes solace in doing the right thing, even if she feels terrible afterwards.

When it comes to love, Amelia is inexperienced but knows what she wants. She wants someone who doesn't force her to do things she doesn't want to and will support her, even in the toughest of times, as well being able to accept everything about her, good and bad. However, she doubts anyone would even be interested in her and doesn't have high hopes of finding anyone. This is not helped by her appearance, as she feels vastly underdeveloped compared to some of the other girl's she was around.

Biography:
Born to a middle class family consisting of her father Thomas, a small time business man, her mother Erina, who owned a flower shop, and her older brother Arthur, Amelia has lead a mostly sheltered the protected life. From a very young age, Amelia's health was a concern. The first known problem was her muteness, which was immediately obvious from birth. The second concern was her immune system, which seemed on the weaker side, causing her to get sick quickly and recover slowly.

One of Amelia's favorite activities early on in her life was drawing, something she would spend most of her time doing. By the time she was in second grade, her artistic skills were well beyond those of her peers. She was able to accurately draw the flowers in her mother's shop, albeit without the details needed to be considered truly accurate. Seeing this, her parents signed her up for extra art classes and began pushing her to improve. As time went on, they would become overly critical of her work, to the point that it seemed like nothing would satisfy them.

To make matters worse, her brother wasn't very supportive of her either. Jealous of all the attention his little sister was receiving, the boy began bullying her while they were still young. Taking advantage of her inability to talk, and therefore call for help, and inability to fight back for fear of causing more drama, the boy would pull off various malicious, sometimes cruel, stunts. When Amelia was only six, he locked her out of the house during a thunderstorm while their parents were away, only letting her in in time for her to take a bath and change cloths before their parents came home, leaving the girl traumatized for life. Time has not calmed him and if anything, his bullying has escalated to full on abuse, though he is careful that none of it leaves visible marks.

Other then her home life, and the expectations placed upon her, Amelia has lead a rather normal, uneventful life until four years ago. Moving up in the business world, Amelia's father can now afford to send her to more expensive schools and, just after her freshman year began, had his daughter transferred to a new high school. The transition was rough for her, as she quickly became a target for bullying due to her shy nature, inability to talk, and 'lowly upbringing'. This, along is her increasingly withdrawn nature has led her to being put into Room 405 for counseling.

Sometimes silence...

Name: Kurt Mangrove

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Orientation: Heterosexual

Personality:
Kurt is more or less a social outcast. Aside from a few friends, he doesn't have much going for him. Kurt isn't very outgoing or friendly. He tends to stick with the people he knows and won't venture out of his friend group unless pushed to. He's pretty secretive, never talking about himself or his family. His quiet nature, mixed with his grim attire and tall stature, tends to make people nervous.

Kurt most likely suffers from undiagnosed depression. He shows up to school when it's convenient for him, because some days he just doesn't want to see other people. As of right now, he's just going through the motions of a teenager's life, not really seeming to enjoy the ride.

He was assigned room 405 based on one teacher's not inaccurate suspicion that he was being neglected by his parents.

Appearance:
Most of Kurt's clothes were hand-me-downs from his dad.
He wears a lot of dark colors, red, bright purple, and skeleton themed clothes, most of which are too big for him. His dad has a lot of money, so most of the clothes Kurt wears are name brand and very expensive. This leads people to believe that Kurt has money, which is false.

Body-wise, Kurt is very tall and skinny. He stands at 6'2", and still waiting on one last growth spurt. He is very lanky, and could probably use a little more protein in his diet. His knobby joints tend to stick out, and his face is sort of gaunt. He is very pale skinned, giving him an overall half-dead appearance. His hair is messy, dark curls. His eyes are dark blue, almost purple looking. Kurt has a faded scar on his either side of his throat, almost as if it was skewered with something. He has a few noticeable track marks on his arms from a few years ago, but he's mostly clean now.

Other:
Kurt is a functional mute. While he can talk, scarring in his throat and vocal cords make it uncomfortable and very rough sounding. This probably has something to due with the scars on his neck, which he never really cares to explain. He's had them for a very long time. He mostly communicates via sign language, and really only talks out loud when he has to. His voice usually frightens people when they first hear it.

The internal scarring on his throat also makes it difficult for him to swallow solid food. For the most part, Kurt lives on a diet of smoothies, soups, protein shakes, pudding, and custard-like textures. His poor nutritional intake probably attribute to his thin build.

Likes:
Cool weather
Hot chocolate
Sleeping

Dislikes:
Crowds
Being spoken to like a child
Being confronted

History:
Most of his friends enjoy rebelling against their parents,
meanwhile, Kurt just wishes he had parents. His dad was a popular punk singer from the eighties. His mother was a groupie. His mother was unfit to raise children, so Kurt's father was saddled with taking care of him. This usually consisted of him being dumped off on stage managers and other groupies. Kurt actually saw very little of his father. He was, instead, raised by punkrockers who really had no business being anywhere near a child, and most of whom were hardcore drug abusers. It's a miracle Kurt survived his childhood mostly unscathed.

Kurt's father finally began to lose popularity and began to fade into the background of the music world. He bought a large house and settled down for a while, actually hanging around Kurt for a few years. This didn't last long. He decided to go and re-kindle his career and took off again, leaving Kurt alone at the house. Occasionally, money will appear in an envelope with no return address, but for the most part, Kurt is on his own. He avoids disclosing his family background or home situation to anyone but his closest friends, because he doesn't want to be taken away and put into foster care.

...is the best retort.

Name:
Susan Atkins

Nickname:
Sue

Age:
18

Gender:
Female

Sexual Orientaion:
Mostly gay

Personality:

Sue is a walking, 5'8 and 123 pounds of nonplussed sass n' spunk. As hard it is to believe now, Sue was a once a star student in Oxbridge. For years she did everything to reach her parent's impossible standards. It was grueling, adding to that their constant disappointment of "never being like her older siblings". It burdened her so much, to the point where she just stopped everything, stood up for herself and gave her parents the middle finger. Well, not literally. The thought of even doing it horrifies her. They'd probably kill her where she stood.

She is very outgoing, expressive, friendly, loves social gatherings and can almost talk to anyone. She's the type who never backs down from a good dare and that makes her fun to hang out with. It's impossible to not find a friend in Susan, that is if they're the type to endure her dynamic energy that may root from the fact that she is easily distracted, never really staying in one place for a long time. She is an out and proud enthusiast of sloths. It's one of her low-key childhood dreams to domesticating a one. Her phone wallpaper is a picture of a sloth, plus the 100+ images saved on her photo gallery.

Sue is a formidable volleyball athlete, and is great with the team though at times they would see her as just being bossy. In serious situations she would keep her head straight, always having to choose the most practical and logical thing to do in a given situation. Though it is a challenge to her when faced with emotional confrontations, as she is easy to break down and this alone scares and embarrasses her if witnessed by the other person. Though never eloquent with words, nor as expressive with the mushy bits, there is a compassionate soul within her. She would show that she cares, albiet in her own crude and awkward way.

Biography:


It became a running joke within the siblings that Susan wasn't actually born to her parents, but instead sprouted out their backyard one sunny summer morning. It was due to the fact that she was born when her parents was already at their mid 40's, and her birth was unplanned. Aside from the distance; her parents are retired lawyers now residing abroad, while her three siblings are scattered all over the world, their generation gaps somehow became an obstacle in their relationship. Her sibling before her was almost two decades older than she is.

Most of her childhood she grew up alone, and was homeschooled until she reached her middle school years where she was enrolled in Oxbridge Academy, a prestigious institution. The best school that money can ever buy. She was once shy and sheltered, and during that time she started to come out of her shell little by little. Her friends greatly encouraged her to do so, signing up for class programs, hopping from one club to another until she found her passion in Volleyball.

She is prone to putting herself in a lot of trouble, although nothing too serious at most, other than missing a lot of classes, vandalizing the walls of the girl's bathroom and was once luckily suspended for streaking because of a silly dare. Her parents later on reimburse the institute for the "damages". Because of the shenanigans she got herself into the school requires that she is to attend regular counseling in Room 405.

Name:
Nicolette Le Blanc

Nickname:
Nicky

Age:
17

Gender:
Female

Sexual Orientation:
Bisexual

Appearance:
Nicky prefers to not put a whole lot of thought or effort into her appearance. Her cream-coloured hair is usually messy or tied into a sloppy ponytail or sidetail. She is usually drowsy due to late night painting or photography sessions or just general restlessness and it reflects in her blank, tired stare. Makeup is usually not on the top of her priorities though she is still considered pretty without it. When she is deep in thought her expression does not change from its usual stare. Though her expression can be considered harsh at times she is for the most part, well-meaning. Nicky enjoys over-the-shoulder baggy shirts and jackets because they are fairly low-effort.

Physically, she stands at about 5'5 or 5'4 (about 166 cm) with soft blue eyes and a slight-but-not-stick-thin build.

Personality:
Nicolette is a... confusing girl. On one hand she is smart and a talented visual artist. She enjoys capturing still images of life and the world, mostly through photography and painting. On the other hand she appears to have trouble expressing herself through most ways normal people would do so, namely spoken words. She isn't mute and can speak perfectly fine, no, her troubles start in her brain and end with her mouth. In a word, she is obfuscatory. She has had trouble applying herself at school in the past and it's not really clear if Nicolette is purposefully confusing or if she cannot help it. It was a hotly debated subject among the teachers and staff in the past whether or not she is lazy or something deeper.

Her methods of communication seem to vary between moods. Sometimes she is perfectly lucid and is capable of voicing her thoughts. Other times she slides into stream-of-consciousness, almost babbling. Her thoughts becoming tangled word-knots only the most abstract of thinkers can decipher. Certain days she appears highly motivated and takes breathtaking photographs of life unfolding around her. Yet on other days she takes blurry photos of nothing or paints meaningless (to the observer at least) art. In her moments of overt lucidity she enjoys deadpan humour, while other times she seems to think certain, arbitrary things are amusing.

Unsurprisingly she struggles in almost every core class but art and doubly so if group work or logical thinking is involved. Most classmates treat her respectfully but keep her at an arm's length, wary of her odd nature and fey disposition. Even teachers have trouble understanding what exactly is wrong (if anything) with her. Her favourite animal is the Spotted Garden Eel, though she is characteristically paradoxical about her reasons for that.

Biography:
Nicolette was born into a fairly well-to-do family, although not particularly well off compared to some of the families that had children attending Oxbridge Academy. Her parents noted her fondness for painting from a young age and supported and nurtured her talent until she eventually discovered her second (and arguably most passionate) love: Photography. However, she also showed a distinct trouble with words. She wasn't ineloquent, she just had trouble stringing together words in a fashion that both properly expressed her feelings and also made grammatical sense.

Her parents simply assumed she was precocious and enjoyed word games as much as she enjoyed photography and painting, but it seemed a consistent trifle and one that didn't simply vanish as Nicky matured. She had trouble making friends throughout school due to her jumbled manner of communication and trouble expressing herself in ways that weren't art. Nicolette was not totally friendless though, she had a few friends who found her endearing and they established some understanding.

Nicolette was granted admittance to Oxbridge Academy mostly on account of her remarkable skill for photography and not-insignificant talent at painting as well. Though she has not disappointed in those respects, she has been a lacklustre student in most other respects, near failing most other classes and frequently falling asleep on benches and in the grass around the campus. She seems driven by whimsy or laziness or perhaps some combination of the two. Either way, the staff have found it unacceptable and placed her into Room 405 in hopes of helping her to find an academic and social drive.

[EurmalEye]

Name: Erik Fieldson

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Sexuality Orientation: Straight

Personality: Erik starts off being very personable and friendly to the new people he meets, but the more you get to know him the more obvious his arrogance and self centered nature tend to come through. He is also somewhat manipulative as he attempts to use people to his own benefit. That being said there is no genuine malice in his actions, he simply does what is best for him and does not particularly care about how his actions affect others. Summarized into a few traits, he is charming, arrogant, self-centered, and struggles with true empathy.

Biography: Erik's parents divorced when he was about the age of three. He lived with his mother most of the time usually seeing his father for one weekend every month, though his father attempted to see him more often. His mother praised Erik constantly for in her eyes he could do no wrong. The pattern continued into his developmental years, adolescence, and early teenage years always being told how special he was. Any obstacles in his path were either dealt with quickly by his mother or he was taken away from them. However, his mother began using narcotics and his father seized the opportunity to regain custody of Erik. Erik for his part has always vehemently denied any wrongdoing on the part of his mother and continually got into fights with his father about not being supportive enough of him or caring enough about him.

His father, a CEO of a major tech company, tired of the near daily fights with Erik opted to send him to Oxbridge Academy. As the school was the most prestigious education one could have, Erik decided that it was worthy of the task of educating him in what little he did not already know. At first all went very well for Erik, the other students liked him, his teachers were impressed by his intellect and poise, and overall he was fitting in very well at the school. However, Erik received a score of 80% in one of his math classes and grew obsessed about it. He continually claimed that the teacher that had given him the score was an idiot and was obviously doing this as a punishment due to how jealous he was of Erik's genius.

The situation escalated to the point where Erik actually attacked the teacher after class, yelling accusations at him the entire time. Only his father's influence (as well as a rather sizable donation to Oxbridge) saved Erik from immediate expulsion. The Academy's psychologist on staff later diagnosed Erik with Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Erik was allowed to remain at Oxbridge, on the condition that he attend the counseling sessions in group 405. If any further incidents occur, Erik will be expelled and there will be nothing his father can do to stop it.

Likes: Praise, being in the limelight, sweet foods, and journaling (when asked he enjoys saying that many successful people across history have done the same).

Dislikes: Criticism, being upstaged, perceived disrespect of anything, and not fond of sour things.

Appearance:

Erik has a somewhat muscular frame gained more for aesthetic value than any particular desire for strength or goal. He is extremely meticulous in personal grooming and is always clean shaven. His is rather handsome and has green eyes. He has medium length brown hair with its style taken from the most recent men's fashion magazine as such his hair style tends to change rather often. He wears exclusively long sleeved clothing, as he has a 3 inch crescent shaped scar on the top of his forearm sustained from a childhood injury. While the scar has faded with time and is not particularly noticeable, Erik has a difficult time dealing with the "flaw" on his body.

Sage Whitford

Sage Damian Whitford

Nickname:
"Most people just call me Sage."

Age:
"I'm 17."

Gender:
"Male."

Sexual Orientation:
"Asexual, mostly. I think.."

Personality:
"I'm not really sure how to explain what I'm really like, but I could explain what I think I'm like. I don't talk very often, but when I do my voice is pretty soft, I don't like being loud or aggressive, life is too important, and too very very short to waste on pride or violence. I've been told that my glasses must be tinted rose for me to stay so positive, and that perhaps I think things will turn out ok because I spend more time spaced out or in my head than the real world. My Aunt says that a lot, but I know she just likes teasing me. I like people, children in particular, and I like spend a lot of time babysitting or volunteering at the daycare next door to the flower shop when I'm not working, children understand me a lot better than those my age. Everyone's too busy looking for bad in me to realise that I don't have much, if any."
"I guess if I had to sum myself up into one word, it'd be Pollyannaish. Although I don't believe it's illogical to be optimistic or positive, we live in a place so enormous that it's hard to remember that, in the long run, none of this will matter. Everyone will fade from history and memory one day, so I think people should enjoy the fleeting time we have, and just focus on what truly makes you happy."

Biography:
"I grew up mostly alone, I do have my Aunt, but she's a very busy women so even while I was living with her I only saw her a few times a month. When I was very young, about Two or Three, my mother disappeared, and so I went to live with the only family I knew of, My Aunt. She lived in England, with a mansion of a home but no one to share it with, although the circumstances were less than favourable, we were both very happy to be together. I only remember the faintest smile from my mother, and if Auntie didn't have photos, I'm sure I would have forgotten her face altogether.
Because of how wealthy my Aunt was, I was allowed to chose between being tutored from home, or going to a border school. Being the frightened child I was, I chose the former, and my Aunt hired one of the greatest live-in tutors in Europe, Ms. Calcelmo. Ms. Calcelmo taught me all the way through my education, up until I graduated "High-School." Thanks to Ms.Calcelmo I had become the highest scoring student in Kensington. After I graduated, I received invitations to a number of Private universities, and Eventually, I chose Oxbridge, if only to please Auntie.
However, something the school wasn't expecting was my mental health, or lack thereof. At about eight years old, I had begun to develop OCD, it was a fairly mild form, but it still caused a bit of disruption and left some of the students feeling a bit... Uncomfortable. It's nothing insane really, just a few odd quirks. When I enter a room, I have to Open and close a door about four times. Sometimes more, sometimes less, and when I leave a room, I have to turn the lights on and off seven times. I'm a rare specimen that isn't germaphobic, and I don't freak out if someone touches me, but it's not something I seek out. Because of my.. Afflictions, I was asked to attend Room 405."

Likes:
"I'm quite fond of Philosophy, Art, Children, and Flowers. I hope to open a flower shop one day."

Dislikes:
"Absolutes. They are the crutch of those Hide-bound."

James Ashe-Hartnet

James Ashe-Hartnet

Nickname: Scars (will more than likely get you punched in the face)
The Violent Genius

Age: 18 Years Old

Gender: Male

Sexual Orientation: Straight

Personality: James's personality is easy to compartmentalise: His exterior 'mask' or 'shell', and his interior core personality. His outer personality makes him come across as an apathetic, cold and sometimes hostile man, closed off from other and will typically stay out of others business, more out of apathy than respect. He can turn a blind eye very easily to both the positive and negative aspects of the lives of those around him, as unlikely to congratulate a success as unlikely to console a crying child. He acts only in self-interest, and it shows in his dealings with those around him and although his temper is long, Those that threaten, interfere with or even inconvenience him enough are swiftly dealt with, either physically, tactically or both.

His core personality, however, is actually very caring for those close to him, as well as being sharp-witted and highly intellectual. He regularly scores highly in formal examinations, and has a talent for strategy, creativity and even some music, Piano and Guitar to be precise. This personality was once the more dominant one, but was replaced after the death of his mother and his best friend's suicide.

Biography: James has a story similar to many military families. His father was killed on deployment with the Royal Marines, and his mother did the best that she could to raise him alone. Struggling financially, James had to enrol at one of the less reputable schools as his family struggled by, but he continued to maintain a positive and optimistic outlook. As only a child could, he always sought to find the brighter side of very situation, the silver lining to every black cloud. Upon entering Secondary School, the bullies were quick to set upon him, his poor wealth, high intelligence and lack of a male parent providing seemingly exploitable vulnerabilities. This, however, instead caused him to form a close friendship with Aria Scott, a girl who was also being bullied due to a difficult home life, her mother taking her own life due to depression and her father turning into an abusive alcoholic.

Drawn to each other by the torment, they became each other's support along with James' mother after having her removed from her father's custody and informally adopting her. In the winter of his second year, however, Aria's father ran from his Parole officers and stole a large truck and, heavily intoxicated and under the cover of a particularly viscous storm, saw James and his mother involved in a brutal car accident that neither escaped unharmed. James was scarred deeply, both physically and mentally, while his mother sustained injuries she would later succumb to and die. Cast into a deep depression, he pushed everyone way including Aria, which became the trigger for the second tragedy in his life. Unable to turn to him for support, the bullying got worse and her mental state rapidly declined until she, following in the footsteps of her birth mother, took her own life. James was taken in by his Aunt, who moved closer after hearing about her sister's death, but he closed himself off emotionally. The only emotion he expressed for several months after that was a brief period of cold, unbridled fury; After learning what they had done, James confronted the bullies, fracturing one boy's arm in three places and confining another to a wheelchair for at least 7 years.

His aunt quickly relocated the family to London and he finished his third year of Key Stage 3 at a new school, yet the rumors managed to follow him and he was instantly regarded with fear and caution. He was able to enter Oxbridge Academy for by virtue of his very high score in his entrance exam, being scored within the top 10% of all candidates thus far, and by a little political nudging here and there. He performed admirably in regards to his academics, but his attitude towards those around him was problematic, and he was occasionally beset by brief periods of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) over the deaths of both his mother and Aria. To address the problem, he was invited to Room 405 but he was initially opposed to the program, finding it a waste of time. He was finally given an ultimatum after a PTSD Attack lead to a fight in which he broke a student's nose and split his lip, requiring stitches: either he took part in Room 405, or he would be suspended for 6 months. He initially fought the punishment, but the student's parents were highly influential and were in fact pushing for a harsher punishment. Reluctantly, he joined Room 405 but has since been largely uninvolved with the activity itself.

Personal Information

---

Name: Regina Branch
Nickname: Reggie/Reg
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: Straight (but not afraid to experiment)

Appearance:

Regina is a beautiful young girl who stands at 155cm (5' 1") and weighs in at 57kg (125lbs). The extra weight that she has over most girls is solely due to her pregnancy, which she is currently 5 months into. She has quite the sizable assets for a 15yo girl and the shape of her hips compliment her figure, although her BWH ratio stands at 26-28-23 if measured in inches and 66-71-58 if measured in centimeters. She wears a strapless bra and matching-colored panties underneath her clothing, and although she often wears a short skirt around home, she'll usually wear a pair of bike shorts or a longer skirt instead whenever she's on campus, out of respect for the dress code. She doesn't always keep her hair in a ponytail either, sometimes choosing to let her hair down and allow it to fall below her shoulders.

Personality:

Unsurprisingly, the biggest thing to note about Regina (apart from her schizophrenia or her pregnancy, that is) is that she is quite the chatterbox. She just loves to catch up on all the gossip that's going on around her, and if she has something to say about something about a specific topic, you can bet that she'll throw in her two cents. As typical of a socialite, Regina's ability to make friends with someone depends entirely on how well they can or are willing to hold a conversation. But she'll invest a lot of effort in each attempt to communicate with a new face, and she'll make multiple attempts as well. She'll even exercise her decent knowledge of sign language if she realizes that regular talking doesn't cut it with a specific someone in particular, or if there's an evident language barrier, she'll look into learning her intended converser's native language and see if she can grasp it. And if all else fails and she has no-one to talk to, Regina will happily run her mouth off in front of her reflection in a mirror or the like. The hard part is convincing her that she needs to give it a rest, especially without her taking it personally.

Truth be told though, someone has to keep talking in order for Regina to ascertain her own sanity. She has a vast difficulty coping with extended periods of silence, and if her surroundings are reticent for too long, she'll shriek in recoil if she hears the slightest sound that isn't from her own actions; even the noise made by someone accidentally dropping a pencil. This makes it extremely difficult on those that prefer the peace and quiet, and downright impossible for Regina to sit an exam unless special preparations have been made for her in advance. The worrying thing is that, although she has medication specifically designed to combat symptoms like this, Regina remains adamant that she can't take it any more due to her pregnancy... and even if there was schizophrenia medication that she could take whilst pregnant, chances are that either she tried it before and it wasn't powerful enough to make a non-negligible difference, or it's still in its experimental stages; and Regina is not the slightest bit comfortable putting something that'd be classified as experimental into her body.

For someone who would willingly open up about her schizophrenia, Regina puts up a valiant front of normalcy while she's out in public. She tries her best to keep cool, calm and collected, not to react to anything that it'd be abnormal to and not to let her schizophrenia get the best of her. It's a tall order considering how much of a juggling act each symptom provides, and the fact that she no choice but to share a learning experience with known delinquents makes things all the harder. However, while the natural stubbornness that she gets from her mother is both a blessing at times and a curse at others, in this case Regina's refusal to give up works to her advantage. She wants to beat her schizophrenia with everything she's got, and she'll be damned if it winds up defining her as a person.

Biography

Diagnosed with schizophrenia at the age of 5 years old under the Cognitive Disturbances scale, Regina Branch was always somewhat of a difficult child to look after. Unfortunately, what made it harder on her was that neither of her parents could devote as much time to be there for her as she truly needed. Her mother, Gnrl. Raegan Branch, was always on deployment overseeing the battalion of military personnel under her command, and her father, Dr. Evan Branch, had to continually advance his career in order to be able to put food on the table for the family. The job of looking after Regina was supposed to fall under the responsibilities of her two teenage siblings, sister Galilea and brother Zaid, but Zaid would always insist that he needed to study or do too much homework or other things each time he was asked, and Galilea made it abundantly clear that she wanted nothing to do with Regina. On top of that, it was evident that Galilea's hotblooded nature and instinctive aggression towards others was a bad influence, and telling her to do something she wouldn't hesitate to refuse was just asking for trouble. So in the end, Regina had to endure a childhood of loneliness. It was here that her schizophrenia began to make itself known.

Regina was an emotional child at first, never able to help but burst into tears the second something went wrong. At first, the only person in the whole family that had a problem with this was Galilea, who would always react in a hostile manner whenever she heard Regina's crying. But after a while, Zaid too rapidly tired of it, and even Dr. Evan decided enough was enough. He immediately look into medication that was safe for Regina to digest that would help her ease the burden, and after some painstaking research, finally found something worth prescribing her with. She'd since mellowed out a lot, but was still prone to panic attacks... and still is to this day, as unfortunate as the cards that were dealt to her in life. As such, Dr. Evan hired a private tutor to home-school Regina, feeling as though that was the best option to educate her for the future. This would continue right up until the age of 14, where Regina would eventually be eligible to be enrolled into Oxbridge Academy.

While she was scared that her panic attacks would flare up at the worst possible time, Regina eventually braved the ordinary high school life... only to find out there wasn't as much to be afraid of as she first thought. Her classmates were friendly enough and her teachers were understanding of her condition. The faculty had even organized a completely different seating arrangement for Regina when mid-year and end-of-year exams came around, so that she'd be separated from the other students in order to prevent them from being distracted, and were kind enough to give her more time to complete her own should she need it. But it all went downhill the following year. A goth girl was assigned to Regina's class that year as a new student, and she would not accept any pleasantries from anyone. She was rude to everyone around her, even the teachers, and she spared no-one from all the flak that she claimed to feel obligated to dish out. It was little wonder then, that the goth girl had triggered a panic attack from Regina, but she went even further; scoffing at the sight of the full-bladed craft knife that she instinctively reached for and daring her to throw it before turning her back to leave, as if to defy the possibility that Regina wouldn't wind up throwing it in her panic or, even if she did, that it wouldn't miss her completely and that her resulting expulsion wouldn't be in vain.

Imagine the goth girl's surprise, then, when that very same craft knife struck her blade first and dug in so close to her spinal canal, inflicting enough damage to send her falling to her knees. Regina froze in horror, not knowing whether she should try to help the fallen goth girl to her feet or bolt in the opposing direction. Thankfully, paramedics arrived who weren't so hopelessly slow to respond, and were able to bring the fallen goth girl into the hospital for treatment. But Regina wasn't so lucky; not only did she face an immediate expulsion from the academy, but she was also sued for damages, with the threat of being dragged into juvenile hall should she be found guilty. It was a good thing Zaid had studied to be a defense attorney this whole time, as the minute he caught wind of the case, he immediately assigning himself to represent Regina for her defense. He managed to convince the jury to find her not guilty due to temporary insanity, but begrudgingly had to settle for allowing the opposing prosecutor to file a restraining order between her and the goth girl that would last for 6 months, in exchange for her freedom. Zaid was quick to criticize the younger sister for refusing to answer the vast majority of the prosecutor's questions, but Regina was so terrified by the whole ordeal of having to show up for court that she couldn't even bring herself to breath a sigh of relief once the case was over. Seeing that, Zaid realized that he couldn't fault Regina for her lack of commentary after all.

A month had passed since then, and all of a sudden, one of Regina's former classmates had called her cell to say that he was hosting a party and that she was invited. Evidently he felt sorry for the hell that "that goth bitch" had put her through, and thought that the invitation would cheer her up considering she looked like a party girl at heart. He did say that he had to discuss said invitation with some of the others though and while issues were definitely had, the majority were surprisingly OK with it and/or didn't care. Relieved that the classmate was kind enough to offer the invitation, Regina gladly accepted. And she had a blast that night, catching up with old friends, going ham on beer skulling and doing all sorts of crazy shenanigans. She doesn't remember everything that happened that day, but she eventually discovered that she would've likely gotten pregnant sometime within that night's time-frame. To twins no less! Regina wasn't sure how she felt about that though, as this practically forced her off of her medication, much to Dr. Evan's dismay. Still, Regina felt fine around home for the most part. A lot of that was because of Dr. Evan's supervision, though conversing with him and telling stories to him felt therapeutic for Regina as well, and that certainly helped.

Four months later, another unexpected call had woken Regina up with a fright. It was from the principal of Oxbridge Academy himself, and he called Regina directly to let her know that there was a counseling program to be held in Room 405 that would help her get her education back on track, and that he could lift the expulsion that the school held on her should she choose to attend this program. Apparently the program was to be led by a Mrs. Cornelia Anderson, a teacher that Regina personally didn't know and most certainly never met. Between that and the mentioning there'd be... other, troubled students that were all assigned to take this program, Regina grew wary over the whole thing. So she asked the principal if she could come back to him on it, and immediately talked it over with Dr. Evan, who advised her to attend it. Reluctantly accepting the offer, Regina requested the right to back out at any time, but the principal stated that that would mean reinstating her expulsion. That could only mean one thing; once again, it'd be time for Regina to put on a brave face.

• Overhearing things said about her behind her back*

Tidbits of Trivia:

• Dislikes marked * have been known to send Regina into startling panic attacks, and are more likely to do so the more spiteful they come across. It all starts with the twitch of one specific eye, followed by slowly backing away from whomever she believes was at fault for the panic attack, slightly to the left or right depending on which eye had twitched on her, and towards either something with a blade or the heaviest thing she can find... and is actually capable of lifting. The final warning she'll give before snapping is a sudden bolt straight for the item that popped in her head at that time, before threatening to throw it at the person at fault, or threatening the use of martial arts if she hadn't found anything suitable. All the while, the color of her skin will have drained and her whole body will have shaken like a leaf. It takes a lot of effort to calm Regina down once she's in this state, and reminding her of the consequences for following through with her panic attack only makes it escalate. The only thing holding her schizophrenia back from going ham on each of her panic attacks is the fact that she doesn't want to hurt anyone, and that all she wants is to live a normal life.
• Regina has medication specifically designed to prevent her schizophrenia from acting up and keep its symptoms in check, but she hasn't taken it since her discovery of her pregnancy. The reason for this is due the potential of said medication interfering with the health and growth of her unborn children. She doesn't refer to it as "pretty potent shit" for nothing, after all.
• Whenever a teacher asks the class a question for someone to answer, Regina is among the first to raise her hand without fail. However, there's a good chance that she'll immediately follow this up by not actually answering the question. Regina has done this multiple times during her tenure at Oxbridge Academy prior to her expulsion, her actual responses ranging from belting out the lyrics to whatever song was stuck in her head at the time, repeating that same question back to the teacher, realizing that she actually has no idea what the answer is, trying to strike a conversation with the teacher or anything in between. She even once kept her hand up for another couple of minutes after the fact, completely failing to register that the teacher already picked her to answer it.
• Ever the optimist, Regina always looks at the bright side of things, and will happily share the positive memories she has with others. However, she doesn't recall everything correctly from the memories she's less afraid to share, and is prone to get a key detail wrong; usually one that in turn makes it difficult for one to believe that the story that she's trying to tell has any truth behind it. And on the flip side, she remembers everything about each bad experience that she's ever had to deal with with vivid precision. It's likely that the bad memories had left a more prominent impression on Regina than the good ones have, and her frustration over this is evident. Her biggest gripe is that for the life of her, she still can't recall who it was that impregnated her; all she knows about it so far is that it had to be someone from that party that she was invited to way back when...
