If you were to meet Cole Seara for the first time with no idea of who she is, you would think she is merely just your typical EDM-loving, festival-attending California girl (even if she is from New York). She’s described by her friends as an extroverted, lively girl who loves to have a good time and live every day like her last. She’s very outgoing and energetic, quick to make friends and shamelessly flirt with whoever she considers attractive- be it female or male. She has a quick sense of humor, and an easygoing attitude that draws people in. But not all is peaches and cream, of course. Being raised in privilege means that hits of entitlement, selfishness and uptightness come through sometimes, as does that spoiled attitude that tends to occasionally rub people the wrong way. Her idea of fun contains elements that can be seen by others as reckless, though she would rather use the word carefree instead. She also takes after her father in that stubbornness that causes them to butt heads frequently, yet the very same one that drives her to achieve everything she sets her mind to.

When it comes to relationships, the young woman’s downfall comes from the fear of opening up to someone who might hurt her down the road, which in turn makes it so she refuses to come clean about her true feelings. Although she is a very sweet, caring and loving girlfriend, she also tends to be jealous, possessive and very territorial when she considers someone is stepping too close to what she considers hers. Cole isn’t one to loser her temper very often, but when she does: beware.

Upbringing Synopsis

Daphne Nicole Seara was brought into the world in a Manhattan hospital room on June 25, 1994. As the only daughter of hotel mogul Zamir Seara and his wife Nikoletta (nee. Frazier), Cole was raised in a very wealthy and privileged household, where she was given anything she ever wanted and more: having as normal a childhood as one could given her financial status. Growing up, Cole’s life was marked by meaningful relationships with women she holds dear to her heart to this very day: her cousin Astrid, her best friends AJ and Aulora. These women were a key part of her life, ones who were there for her through thick and thin and offered her their undying support.

Cole was always an above-average student: getting a medley of A’s, B’s and C’s. Her social life, on the other hand, was the one she truly excelled in. She had always been a friendly girl, which meant her schedule was often occupied by parties, friend dates and such. But upon arriving to high school, the partying became frequent, and the things she considered ‘fun’ grew wilder. Cole took a particular liking to weed and raves, and her late-night escapades landed her in hot water with her parents. Even with her grades slipping from time to time, she managed to graduate high school with a decent GPA. And after much pressure from her parents to attend college, Cole eventually buckled, following the path of fashion she loved so much.

She was accepted at Woodbury University’s LA campus, where she found herself away from her parents’ grasp. During her time spent in California, the teenage girl who arrived in LA grew up both in age and as a person, and blossomed into the young woman of today. It was then when she embraced herself to the fullest extent, enjoying living life by her own rules. She became a member of the Phi Sigma Sigma sorority, built many friendships along the way, and learned invaluable lessons about herself as well as life. The decision to move back was the hardest one she’d ever made, but Cole knew it was a crucial one to move onto the next stage of her life.

The graduation party held by her parents as soon as she arrived back in Manhattan would be the one to change the course of Cole’s life forever. It was there when she reconnected with Darien Monterrosa, son of a family that were lifelong friends of the Searas. The two hit it off immediately, starting a relationship not long after. On Cole’s 23rd birthday, Darien got down on one knee and proposed, in front of the friends and family that were in attendance to her surprise birthday party/engagement party. A year after that? The wedding is mere days away from being celebrated.

Extra! Extra!

• Has a particular fondness for pot and LSD, but has been sober since her relationship with Darien got serious.
• Loves to attend music festivals, especially the really big ones with fireworks and top-tier artists (looking at you, Coachella and Tomorrowland).
• Her favorite music genre is without a doubt EDC, and her favorite artists are David Guetta, Tiësto, Martin Garrix, Avicii, Deadmau5 and Calvin Harris. "I know they're mainstream. Sue me."
• Her favorite pastime is to travel to different beachside destinations around the world, as the beach is her happy place.
• The mere thought of pregnancy and having children scares the living crap out of her, and she doesn’t plan to have any until she’s at least, like, 40 -IF she even does.

Appearance

At a passing glance, Darien looks very much like a hipster with his rather large, thick square glasses. They tend to hide his handsome face, a result of much work as he takes great care of himself, probably having just as many beauty products as his fiancee. Tall and on the more muscular side, his olive complexion compliments his dark hair and hazel eyes. He tends to dress on the more casual side, a shirt and jeans being best, though he is just as comfortable in a suit.

Personality

Friendly, charismatic, and overall easy going, Darien isn't the type to just sit and wait, he would rather get his feet wet and jump into the next adventure. Then again, his type of adventure tends to differ than most; while he does like to crack a beer open with the guys every once in a while, he focuses more on rock climbing, hiking, and enjoying nature. His determination to see a task to completion and go above and beyond expectations make people think he's a perfectionist. Well, they're right, but he doesn't see it that way. He isn't afraid to speak his mind, though he does know how to word himself so that people understand where he's coming from. His patience is seemingly bottomless, the most anyone gets out of him is annoyance. Still, he is faithful to his love and his friends, and is very excited to get married.

Upbringing Synopsis

Despite coming from a well off family, Darien has never been afraid to work with his hands. He's been working since he was sixteen, at first volunteering for an animal shelter and slowly moving into an internship at the same hospital he would eventually end up working at. His love for animals was prominent from a young age when his mother found a small group of rescued animals in his bedroom, so when he got his degree, absolutely no one was surprised. He took his studies rather seriously, managing to score himself a scholarship into Cornell University on merit. He was usually poked fun at because he would rather study than party, though he really only had a few close friends, so to him it wasn't a big deal. Sometime before he graduated, he reconnected with Cole, and for him it was love at second sight. He'd never actually admit that he had been enamored with her since they were kids, but this time she seemed to return his feelings. The rest was...well, history. He purposely lets Cole tell the story of how they got together, feeling it would ruin the magic if he told what actually happened. Still, he's very much in love with her, focusing more on their future.

Extra! Extra!

Can soothe most animals since he was young.
Loves nature.
Dislikes litering.

Relation to the Groom or Bride

» "Daphne was one of the very first people I befriended when I first moved here from Maryland; it was sometime around third or fourth grade. We basically grew up together. Even when she went out of state for a few years to attend college we kept in touch. I even visited a couple of times. I wouldn't say that we're inseparable best friends or anything, but she's definitely someone that I'd go to Hell and back for."

---

---

Appearance

» Aulora is a beautiful young woman of Nigerian and Italian descent. She has a slim, statuesque build and seemingly flawless, warm, caramel-colored skin. Dark, thick locks of hair cascade down her back and curls around her youthful face. She has a prominent nose and full lips that always look poised to speak something important, but her most compelling features are her piercing brown eyes that can change from affection to aversion in an instant without notice. Weighing in at a little over one hundred sixty pounds and standing at five feet, ten inches tall in flats with all the grace and poise of a queen, Aulora probably could have been a model if she wasn't so infatuated with the theatre. Aulora carries herself elegantly with good posture, long confident strides, and her head held high. Due to this and her love of high heels, she often looks taller than she really is.

When it comes to her fashion sense, Aulora always dresses to impress and loves making statements and setting trends. Her style can best be lumped in with urban-chic or street wear fashion. She has a talent for putting an interesting twist on what she wears, mixing high-end and low-end effortlessly. She does love striking makeup, though only when she wants to make a scene; her everyday glam consists of nude and brown shades of eye shadow, lipstick, and blush. As far as jewelry goes, Aulora is always iced out. With her flashy necklaces, rings, and bracelets, she can make the most basic and minimalist outfits look like they belong in a fashion editorial.

Personality

Confident ♦ Impulsive ♦ Adventurous ♦ Careless ♦ Free-Spirited ♦ Stubborn ♦ Self-reliant

» Ever since the day she was born, Aulora Kelly has been an adventurous free-spirit, something that she without a doubt inherited from her mom; Aulora's mother was the epitome of a free spirit. She was child of the 60s and 70s; she made her own clothes, dated men on her own terms, always spoke her mind and had a mess of thick, Italian-American hair, which she never wanted to tame. Aulora vividly remembers going through puberty and her mother telling her that she didn’t have to shave her legs or wear a bra if she didn’t want to. She was taught that makeup, clothing and all other objects of vanity should be tools to make her happy, not anyone else. She was shown that women can too be bold and adventurous. Aulora took her mother's advice to heart over the years, so it’s no surprise that she ended up being a free spirit herself.

There is a certain confidence in the way that Aulora walks and talks; she has a way of commanding attention the moment she steps foot into a room and making strong first impressions. She has never been one to shy away from any platform or spotlight, and will always speak her mind without hesitation or timidity. This can easily be seen when she's performing in burlesque shows or auditioning for a lead role in an upcoming production. Also thanks to her mother's superb parenting, Aulora has grown to be a very self-reliant and independent young woman. She knows how to deal with things on her own, and rarely calls on the help of her family members or peers.

There are a few downsides to Aulora's persona, the main one being her impulsiveness and carelessness. While being adventurous, Aulora also has a history of making decisions without thinking them completely through, which probably should result in her regretting them later on. The thing with Aulora, however, is that she doesn't regret much of anything. In fact, one of the many philosophies she lives by is that there are no regrets in life, just lessons. Therefore, she'll usually apologize if she does someone dirty, but the apology may not always be sincere. Aulora also has a problem with relationship commitment; she feels as though she functions better when she only has to worry about herself. She doesn't ever plan on having kids, and even the idea of marriage is laughable to her.

Upbringing Synopsis

» Aulora Kelly spent the first ten years of her life in Baltimore, Maryland. She was raised by a single mother who worked as an elementary school art teacher; she didn't bring in much money, but she made just enough to afford them a two-bedroom apartment downtown and keep food on the table. Since Aulora's father was an anonymous sperm donor and her mother rarely brought men home, she never had a father figure around the house; not that she needed one. Aulora always believed that all she ever needed in this world was her mother, therefore she never tried to find out more about who her father was or why he'd made the choice to help impregnate random women.

Growing up, Aulora was always taught to be herself in every aspect. Her mother had no problem when her nine year old daughter decided that she wanted to dye all of her hair bright pink and wear rainbow pattern socks to school everyday. No, she encouraged it. Aulora had such a tight bond with her mother that she knew she could tell her everything from who was bullying her in school all the way up to when she was sixteen and had sex for the first time. Even after the two of them relocated to New York and Aulora decided that she was in love with Broadway, her mother was one hundred percent on board. She took Aulora to as many Broadway shows as she could during her teen years, during which time Aulora made the decision to pursue a career in theatre.

Theater geek. That was what most people referred to Aulora as in high school, but she didn't give a damn. In fact, the only things that Aulora was worried about at that time were her small group of friends, one of them being the Daphne Seara, and her goals. Her hard work paid off; she was given an almost full-ride scholarship to NYU where she would move on to double major in theatre and dance. Aulora was devastated when she realized that a good portion of her friends were moving to other states for college, but she perked up as soon as she caught sight of the NYU Frederick Loewe Theatre. She graduated four years later with two bachelors degrees and a heart set on acting.

Burlesque dancing was not exactly what Aulora had planned on doing for the first couple of years following her graduation. She'd found the job on accident, but ended up enjoying it more than she initially thought she would. By day, Aulora spends her time auditioning for upcoming productions or movies, and by night she ditches the scripts and ballet slippers for feather boas and corsets. She now lives in a small apartment building in Queens with her Yorkie, Patsy. While all of her friends were getting hitched early on and designating Aulora as one of their bridesmaids (eight times, to be exact), Aulora dates often but rarely brings any of them home to meet Patsy. In fact, most of them rarely make it past a third date. Aulora was happy for her friend when she received word of the upcoming wedding. She was also excited that her longtime friend wanted her as a bridesmaid, and even more so when she found out that it'd be in Vegas.

Extra! Extra!

»She loves drinking and hearing herself talk, hates cats, and paces when she's nervous.

TBD

𝓔𝓭𝓾𝓬𝓪𝓽𝓲𝓸𝓷

A.J. graduated from the New York University School of Film with a double major in Photography and Filmmaking, with a minor in Producing.

𝓞𝓬𝓬𝓾𝓹𝓪𝓽𝓲𝓸𝓷

Due to her work in NYU Film School, Andi works under the famous director, Steven Spielberg, where she hopes to learn valuable tips and tools of the trade as she pursues her dream of one day becoming a solo director herself.

𝓡𝓮𝓵𝓪𝓽𝓲𝓸𝓷 𝓽𝓸 𝓖𝓻𝓸𝓸𝓶 𝓸𝓻 𝓑𝓻𝓲𝓭𝓮

AJ was friends with Nicole in high school. They lost touch after Cole moved away, but after she moved back, they've reconnected.

𝓐𝓹𝓹𝓮𝓪𝓻𝓪𝓷𝓬𝓮

AJ has often been described as a very beautiful, fair-skinned woman. She is gifted with both Hungarian and English genetics, which have been noted by her Hungarian mother and her very English father. She has an oval jawline that is rounded into an odd, symmetric shape by how her naturally-scarlet hair falls down past her neck, creating this odd, yet aesthetically-pleasing visage of a beautiful woman. When that’s paired with her astonishing, clear-as-a-crystal, blue eyes, only adds to the majestic beauty that a one Andrea Jenine possesses.

From a fashion standpoint, one could say that AJ has a peculiar, unique taste. Being someone who has always stood out in every possible scenario, this is represented in what she wears. Anything from the colorful shirts and bold colors in her sometimes-monotonous pantsuits, she’s quite firm in her artistry. Sometimes she is fond of wearing dresses with floral patterns, or sometimes, she could be seen in these hipster-like outfits. Whichever she might end up wearing, one thing that anyone could count on is that she will own it and make it her own. Even the most mundane of outfits could be made special if the right twist was added to it.

𝓟𝓮𝓻𝓼𝓸𝓷𝓪𝓵𝓲𝓽𝔂

Quirky → Bubbly → Confident → Artistic → Pretentious → Elitist → Arrogant-ish

Throughout her life, AJ has always been the oddball in crowds and even in her own family. Among all of the prestige and fame with her family name, she always felt like the black sheep--even when you factor in her less-arrogant siblings. She’s always been by her lonesome in her quirky little bubble, never seem to fit in with any sort of crowd. No matter where she went or how many people it seemed she befriended, AJ was always in her own little world, painting and humming to herself; often with a smile and a bubbly personality. There’s just something about the way she smiles at people and greets them that makes them think both that she’s welcoming and a bit odd.

Andi has always been artistic for about the longest she could remember. The feeling of creating something unique and out-of-the-box has always been something she’s identified with. Whether it’s because she’s always yearned to find her own identity or just enjoyed the feeling of being able to be whoever she wanted to be. This is why her true nature comes out when she’s able to be her free-spirited, fun-loving self. When this side of her is unleashed, the arrogant side of her elder siblings comes out, but more so about her pretentiousness about art and how she feels the need to correct others. This has been noted as an annoying trait of hers. The way she sees it, however, is this is who she is.

And, lastly, she’s got this idea that if it’s not a brand name, then it’s not good enough for her. What can she say? She is the sister of Viola Banks, after all.

𝓤𝓹𝓫𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓰𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓢𝔂𝓷𝓸𝓹𝓼𝓲𝓼

Growing up, Andi had always felt that her parents’ line of work and her own last name was almost ironic. She is Andrea Jenine Banks, youngest of five children that Cameron and Evangeline Banks created. While she has some things in common with her older brother, Johnathan, the others seem to be complete strangers to her. Loved by them she might be, AJ has always felt a great disconnect between her own identity and who they ended up being. Viola and Chris took after both of their parents. Viola is just like mom in the way that she’s well on her way to becoming a realtor just like Eve. Meanwhile, Chris went into banking and has his own investment firm. Meanwhile, Johnny, Amelia, and AJ all went their separate paths. Johnny became a pro skater, Lia is well on her way to becoming a Libertarian Politician.

And then you have AJ, who has not displayed any real ambitions that her family would deem pride-worthy. Even Johnny and Lia had done something noteworthy. The only thing that AJ could brag about was being a graduate of the NYU Film School. And even that didn’t seem to be worth mentioning, let alone earning the respect of her parents. But that’s okay. AJ’s proud of her accomplishments. To her, self-respect and the pride in one’s own accomplishments were vastly superior to the off-chance that she would receive some recognition from her hard-to-please parents. No, she’s more than content knowing that she’s doing well for herself and that she, at the very least, has the love and respect from herself, her siblings, and her friends.

Speaking of, just recently, she reconnected with her dearest friend, Nicole from high school. It happened at AJ’s College Graduation party that was hosted by her siblings. Most of the friends that AJ made in college were there, but a couple of surprises were in store - like Nicole, for one. After not really talking all that much after high school, she became reacquainted with Cole and from then on, it was as if nothing had changed. They hadn’t missed a beat and became as close as they were back then, maybe even closer. It came to the point where, after news spread of her engagement and the wedding announcement not long after, AJ was named as one of three bridesmaids.

Suffice to say, that was really all there was to it.

The Goodest Boy

^{COLOUR = Tan | FC = Ben Barnes}

Christopher Leon Moffat

^{Chris, Leon, Leo, CL}

Twenty-seven


Male


Non-existent


Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery (M.D) at (Med school here)
Bachelor of Science (BSC. Biology) at (university here)


Second year general surgical resident at St. Francis Hospital in NY

Christopher stands a little over 6 foot with dark hair and neatly maintained facial hair. He is of healthy weight, though it is clear from his lack of muscles that he is not an active person. Who has time for that anyway?

He likes to dress in a mix of a casual-formal outfit. Usually, that means he wears a blazer and jeans, but if need be he can swap out the jeans for something formal, or the blazer for something casual. He's a simple guy. He has no scars on his body and does not have time (or the skill, what the hell is this?!). His skin is pale, and probably hasn't seen the sun in a few days so Vegas is probably going to burn him. That's why he's prepared and bought an extra suitcase full of sunscreen, so not only can he use it, but he's sure to distribute for the group. A nasty sunburn can ruin anybody's wedding.

And yes, he still looks like Ben Barnes.

Idealistic | Gentle | Empathic | Too-Selfless | Too-Sensitive | Considerate | Weak hearted

With a group of mostly impulsive 20-something-year-olds, Christopher acts like the older brother to the group. He counters others' impulsivity with his own level-headed (and most importantly: rational) decision making. His brother role also plays on his great ability to empathize with others as well as allows him to care and nurture his friends as he wishes. His caring nature also makes him presumptuous, making him insist on helping where he does not need to. Not only can this overbearing trait be annoying to some, but it can come across as him "knowing better" when it comes to others.

Christopher is so busy caring for others, that it is common for him to forget about his own needs. He often overworks himself to the point of driving him sick physically or mentally. His weak-hearted nature appears more often than not during confrontations, where he'll simply go along with what someone says to avoid having to fight even if he believes in something else. And yes, scary movies actually do scare him, don't you dare try it or he'll smother you with hugs.

In social events, Christopher does not try to hide from others but nor does he seek attention. His natural easy-going and bro behaviour tends to draw people in, allowing for even the most uncomfortable person to slowly feel welcome in a social gathering. Christopher is competent at his job not because of his empathy, but his ability to remain calm under pressure (and, well, idealism always helps bring some positivity into the room, right?). You'll never see him making a quick decision that has not been thought over a million times with all possible consequences considered.


Declan Leon Moffat was the third child of two Irish immigrants looking forward to the American dream. His parents knew that he was destined for greatness, and they were right. Declan was the first child to attend university in the family, and the first to become a doctor. It was at the hospital where Declan worked where he met the love of his life. Aileen Weber worked in the ER department and had a reputation of being a quick worker, but emotional. They met after a particularly tough day, with Declan somehow comforting a stranger in the on-call room after losing a patient on the operating table. From there, Declan and Aileen became good friends. The decision to marry each other afterward was an easy one, with the two realising the other was their 'one'. Declan and Aileen were in no rush to fill their house with children immediately, despite the pressure from Declan's side. Their unpredictable work made it difficult to envision being an active figure in their children's lives, and they were yet to buy a home that was good enough for children. It was almost three years into marriage when the two were finally ready to try.

And Christopher Leon Moffat was the resulting bundle of joy.

Declan and Aileen were lucky that their son was an easy-going child. He rarely threw tantrums, and if anything, they just had to keep Christopher busy so his toddling curiosity would not get him into trouble. This thirst for knowledge stuck with Christopher even as he grew older. By the time he could walk home from school alone, he would take a detour to his parents hospital, where he would wait for his parents at the waiting room until it was time to go home. Christopher grew up wanting to help the sick and wounded he'd encounter in the waiting room, much to the delight of his parents.

Getting the medicine merit badge during his time at the boys' scout was simple enough for Christopher, and it only served to further interest him in the field of medicine. By the time he reached high school, Christopher had his mind set on becoming a surgeon. Christopher was well loved by his peers during high school, and would often struggle to maintain a busy social life as well as keep up with school - the usual story of any millennial high school teen. His struggle would get simpler once he reached university, as Christopher was not much of a drinker (that is a story for another time) so the usual club parties were not his scene. By the time Christopher reached his position as a surgical resident, Christopher found himself with too little free time for himself. So when he heard his dear friend was getting married and invited him to be a groomsman, Christopher was delighted to see that he had just enough days off to spend with his group of friends at Vegas.

^{can you tell i struggled with this}

• He loves animals, particularly dogs. _{surprise surprise, another annie character loves dogs}
• Has dated maybe a grand total of two people in his life. Does mentally dating a crush count? ...No? Then one. (Thanks Grace!)
• Tried being a vegetarian during university. That... did not last for long.
• He is very close to his parents, even today. He is also the only child so I mean... he doesn't have much of a choice, does he?
• Despite his name, he does not follow Christianity or any other religion.

Clickity

His best (girl) friend, Grace and Christopher have known each other since high school. Christopher was the one to welcome Grace to their prep school after her family settled, and they've been attached by the hips since. Sometime during their friendship they tried out dating, but they broke up for no apparent reason, though that incident has not stopped them from being close even today.

BRUNETTE - GREEN EYES - 6"0 - 147 LBS

Quinn is a very tall and gangly fellow, he stands in around an even 6"0 in height. He's very slender, lacking much muscle at all and maintains narrow hips and shoulders.

Personality

---

SARCASTIC - BITTER - HUMOROUS - CLEVER

Quinn is a jokester, the type of guy that never
takes things seriously. He breezes through life with little to no care for anything around him, while this light-hearted approach leads to him having very little stress, it also leads to him being a major underachiever. He doesn't follow through with commitments and he hates to be tied down.

He's very friendly most of the time, though there seems to be an undertone of bitterness to his personality. He's passive in regards to the feelings of others and he has a tendency towards snide remarks. He seems to have an edge of self-deprecation in everything that he says about himself, though a lot of it is masked in sharp humor. He's very clever and able to work things out quickly, he's often the first to suggest plans and ideas

He can be slightly reckless at times, seems to try to live as fast-paced as he can. He's prone to self-destructive habits and will often engage in risky behavior. He seems to constantly be testing the edge of just how far that he can go before something bad happens.

Upbringing

---

Quinn Alan Lloyd was born in Los Angeles, California, and he was born into what could only be considered a low income home. There was a constant struggle to keep food on the table and his parents were constantly working, it made for a very distant relationship with them. The distance between him and his parents lead to a lot of missed events and them never really knowing much about their son. Quinn was unhappy in this environment, though there wasn't much that he could do about it.

He understood as best as a kid could that necessity deemed that his parents would have to work extra hard to take care of him. Despite this distance between him and them, he understood that they cared about him. His relationship with his parents was never really the problem, the problem was what happened when he was in middle school. In middle school, his mother divorced his father after a four year long affair that everyone in the household had been turning their heads to.

In her absence, Quinn's shaky existence became even shakier. They were barely raking in enough money to keep their house, the kid was practically living on school lunch and whatever his dad could afford to buy that night. By highschool, Quinn had developed a kind of bitterness towards his mother that became more and more evident each time that they interacted. After awhile, she stopped trying to connect to her unreachable son altogether.

After they completely disconnected, Quinn began to fall into a cycle of bad habits as if to compensate for how bad that he was feeling. Fights became frequent, he was constantly getting in tiffs with other students and he had picked up a habit for smoking, he became obsessed with parties and drinking himself silly. His father was working harder than ever to maintain their household, it was only natural that he wouldn't have the time to keep his wild son in check.

This behavior seemingly never stopped, not even when he went into college, barely scraping by on a trustfund that was set up by his grandparents. Quinn pursued psychology because he had always had an interest in the field, and it lead him to meeting Cole who had come to California for college herself. They were both prone to bad habits and risky decision making, it was kind of a match made in hell. It was kind of the only thing that he enjoyed about college as a whole.

While the two friends were separated when Cole made the decision to move back home, he remained in contact with her as best as he could. He was adamant about them remaining friends.

Quinn moved out, bought himself a shady apartment, and quickly became wrapped in pursuing odd jobs. He could never seem to hold a stable job but he made ends meet as best as he could, it was in between jobs that he was invited to Cole's wedding.

Geeky ~ Awkward ~ Sweet ~ Naive ~ Kind-hearted ~ Oblivious

Growing up Astrid was always shy. She was the one who stood in the corner at family events, with her legs crossed and eyes to the floor, attempting her best to not draw any attention to herself. Often soft-spoken, Astrid has grown into herself and does her best to speak out. There are many things that fly over her head, like jokes and flirting. Being bit of a geek she sometimes forgets social cues in a way that causes her nerves and anxiousness to kick out.

She is generally a sweet, sweet person, but again, with age she has learned to be more refined. Astrid still carries her heart on her sleeve, the kindness oozing out of her, but that once naive wallflower has blossomed into a naive sunflower in a field of roses.

Astrid was born and raised in New York City along side her then best friend and cousin, Nicole. They lived in different boroughs of New York City, but Astrid's family visited quite often as their mothers were sisters, and close ones at that. Having mothers who were each other's best friends made it a no brainer that the two cousins would end up being the best of friends too. Their friendship was built on family and innocence, but it couldn't always last forever.

It was during her transition into middle school that Astrid and her family moved away for her father's new job. It took them to the other side of the country, on the bright sunny, sandy shores of California.

Living in California was hard for Astrid as everyone there was tall, beautiful, and talented, not to mention sun-kissed skin was something she was not blessed with. Astrid was the complete opposite. She was a shy, awkward, timid girl with big, bright red rimmed glasses to top it off her hair was always in a pony-tailed mess. And the whole thing with sun screen protecting someone from burning, that wasn't a thing for Astrid as no amount of sun screen protected her from becoming a tomato after a few hours at the beach.

It wasn't until high school that Astrid began filling in and finding herself. She found a comfort and outlet in writing and became quite independent and good with it. As time moved on, so did the relationship between Astrid and Cole. They grew up in different directions, Astrid hearing of her cousin's adventures and antics from their mothers weekly phone calls or the every so often they got a chance to speak and catch up.

Wanting to find a way to be more like Cole, Astrid began studying harder than ever, doing whatever she could so she would be able to go to college in New York City to be closer to Nicole. But to her surprise they ended up doing the opposite of one another, with Cole heading to California for college and Astrid going to Cornell in New York.

College were the years that Astrid truly blossomed into a person she could be confident in. People, more so boys, started noticing her more. She grew into her red-rimmed glasses and her messy blonde locks began to curl and wave. A lot of help did come from makeup, but having no real skill in applying it to herself didn't make too much of a difference. Her striking baby blues were always a plus to have too when it came to catching the attention of others, but no matter how much she tried, Astrid was still the shy, awkward girl she knew she was.

Her confidence only showed when it came through her writing, so after graduating from Cornell she found a job at a small multimedia company as an editor. She has been there since then, having found a steady job that pays well, with a mission she believes in, but still hasn't found any confidence in herself.

Even if they grew apart Astrid was ecstatic, with her heart exploding with joy, the moment she was invited to be one of Cole's bridesmaids for her wedding. She had met the groom Darien a few times when they were younger, but vaguely remembers him, or so she likes to mention.

But nonetheless, Astrid was blessed to be part of the wedding and not to mention she probably deserved a bit of a vacation and some time to have fun.

Astrid's parents are: Roel and Lili Nygaard.
Astrid has a brother who is two years younger, his name is Armand.
She has tried Tinder, but was too afraid to actually meet anyone as she's heard stories and isn't one to have a one night stand.
Surprisingly has a liver made of diamonds, she can hold her own when it comes to drinking.

Gender

Male

Sexuality

Heterosexual

Relationship Status

Single

Education

Bachelor of medicine

Occupation

Full-time radiologist (St Francis Hospital, resident), part-time entrepreneur,

Relation to the Groom or Bride

The question to answer here is: why were you chosen to be a groomsman or bridesmaid? Use this as a chance to build relations! <3

Appearance

Quite tall (184cm) and well-built, Leonard isn’t the ugliest duckling. Indeed, he can be quite attractive with his styled blond hair, slight beard and dark eyes. This is only further accentuated with a striking (read: stupidly expensive) fashion sense, which may or may not include glasses at his own fancy.

Personality

Leonard is that guy who always seems to have the good lady of fortune smiling over his shoulder. He’s the guy you take to the casino to bet all your life’s savings. The man you team up with in your board games. The friend whose intuition you follow for that one crucial decision. But beyond the good dose of luck is a good bit of calculated risk taking. Oh yes, he is a risk taker, an entrepreneur, an experimenter and achiever… overachiever. He enjoys living on the edge. But are they truly risks when they pay off in the vast majority of times? That must be some serious calculation!

Indeed, Leonard isn’t just about pure luck. Behind the pretty face hides a seriously competent and clever young man. Unfortunately, Leo isn’t just about modest enough to keep it under wraps. He is a show-off, confident to the point of occasional arrogance and very much used to achieving whatever he set his eyes on (to the point of entitlement). Don’t misunderstand, he’s quite a nice guy, you just have to be able to deal with that (sometimes insufferable) attitude of his. He’s plenty talkative, inclusive and captivating. Despite his own attitude, he doesn’t really look down on others (He knows you’re capable. He’s just a little more… and you know it). He is always willing to help you, but you ought to know that nothing in this world is for free. And Leonard never forgets you owe him a favour.

An dictionary definition of opportunism, he never misses a chance to get one-up. However, he isn’t always very considerate of who else that might help or hurt in process. Do you find yourself a hitchhiker on his road to success? Good for you! However, be wary you might be left on the roadside on the first most fleeting, cold whim. It is a sober, businesslike approach to life that leaves him with as much enemies as friends. Usually the people that stay at Leo’s side are those who just stay friends, and away from his entrepreneuring fancies.

Upbringing Synopsis

Most people don’t expect it, but his origins are exceedingly humble. His single mother used to barely get by despite working multiple jobs. She was a sweetheart, she truly was. And so young Leo did as much as he could to not get in her way. Luckily the boy had a good head on his shoulders. According to his mother he got that from his father. Unfortunately, his had a tumour in it. He didn’t even live to see his young boy turn three.

The other woman in Leonard’s life was his older sister. A pretty thing, four years older, with hair even blonder than his and laden with speckles. Perhaps she was even more of a mother figure to him than his actual mother, given she was the one taking care of him every day until he stopped shitting his pants. Every day straight out of elementary to get him from day care. Sometimes Leo still wonders if she had actually been allowed to enjoy her early childhood beyond anything than a glorified babysitter. He doesn’t think she truly regret s it, though. The two love eachother as much as siblings can.

Regardless, the young boy was forced into a position of independence from a young age; especially once his sister entered a much more rebellious teenage phase. Luckily Leo took after her when it came to having a healthy dose of wit. The boy did just fine on his own, guided by his own smarts and common sense (and an elder sister that still kept an eye on him, even if she said she didn’t).

Just fine he did, indeed. Hard work was in his blood, and he passed through his school with flying colours; earning him that scholarship into that medical school his mother could’ve impossibly afforded. Perhaps it was a sense of what happened to his father, and to his entire family as a result, what guided his position to pursue a medical career. Honestly, he never really considered it . But suffice to say he ended up landing himself a fine job just after.

But there was more yet. You see, there was something else young Leo was pretty good at: Money. Making money, to be exact. No, not by slaving away at some part-time job (though he did start out this way. After all, you need money to make money). But come up with smart ideas for a business! Leo was fifteen when he started up his first company. A small webshop that sold these high-quality trinkets that the manufacturer just didn’t ship to the Americas. And for some reason it turned into a smashing success!
Then came the second idea a year later in the shape of a small tool of his own invention. One patent later and it was booming business as it filled a niche gap in the market.

And these fancies of entrepreneurship did not end there. No, in medical school he found a few like-minded people. He wasn’t much of a partygoer, so his efforts quickly turned elsewhere. With a newly-founded company, they worked on developing medical ideas for the sole purpose of selling them to the highest bidder (read: pharma). In the meantime Leo took to other avenues as well and successfully invested in the stock market. By his twentieth, it was safe to say his entire family was living a lot more comfortably. But Leonard is still not done. Nay, even though his bank account now hits a couple more digits than the average student, he still dreamt of an even bigger idea. Something revolutionary. To think up something that’d make the next Microsoft, the next google.

That is still but a dream.

But hey, he can’t really complain. That medical degree is pretty darn nice as well, and he’ll certainly try to get that MD while he’s at it. And though he has been plenty successful, Leo has no intention to stop. Success can only go one way – forward, as long as you’re willing to take the steps. That is his motto, which has yet to be proven wrong.

Extra! Extra!

• The glasses he wears are often just for show. He actually owns a variety of both regular and sunglasses, just to fit his outfits.
• A big fan of traveling – He has a particular fancy for tropical islands
• Tries sports of all kinds, though he usually doesn’t stick to any one sport for too long. He does work out regularly
• He has a particularly strong and sensitive sense of smell, and can get sick very easily in response to strong odours. As a result, he has a strong distaste for strong perfumes
• He hasn’t had his hands at practicing music yet. He’d like to learn an instrument or singing

Female

Heterosexual

Newly single

BS in Digital Communications from NYU
MA in Computer Sience from Colombia University

Front-end Developer and IT Designer for Dreamhacks American devision

Grace has known Darien ever since Chris introduced them in high school. She may or may not have had a school girl crush on him... but we don't speak of those dark times.

---

---

Being the middle child wedged between two pairs of brothers, Grace grew up not caring about how she presented herself since she just wanted to fit in with her brothers. This made her in to somewhat of a tomboy, she kept her hair short so it wouldn’t get in the way of the wrestling. But as Grace grew up she started to flip through her mother’s fashion magazines more and more and she started to look up to all the beautiful ladies that graced the pages of the magazines. Now she cares greatly of her appearance.

She’s average hight, being 5’8’’ and she often ads a few inches with high heels. Her facial features are soft in her round face and her dark brown eyes usually gleam with warmth. Nowadays she wears her hair long and usually in soft waves. She loves make up but usually keeps it natural and tends to stay in the browns and gold tones, but spices it up with a bold lip.

Grace dresses like very minimalistic, she hates over accessorizing. She usually wears dresses, blouse and skirt combo with a cardigan over. But sometimes she falls back in to her old ways and steals her brothers dress shirts and pairs them with fitted jeans. She always wears heels, it is rarely you would see her in flats, only at the gym. She has a small tattoo of the big dipper on her wrist.

- Caring - Sarcastic - Loyal - Bossy - Organized -

One of the most important things for Grace is to be right, no matter the subject or if it’s in an argument. She would rather be quiet for the rest of her life than to be proven wrong. This probably stems from being surrounded by so many siblings fighting for attention and being the best in their parents eyes. With this Grace can come across as somewhat arrogant and bossy because she will not stop until she has proven her point.

That being said Grace is a very loving and caring friend and she sticks by the people she loves. As long as it doesn’t affect her work and her goals she would drop the things she was doing to come to the aid of her friends and family.

Grace is not a person you would say is shy or laid back, she always speaks her mind be it in at her job or at social events. If you can get through all the bossiness and the sarcasm Grace will be a very loyal friend, you will have to have done something really wrong to make Grace’s friendship falter. She is very perceptive so she snaps up details very easily, which often results in Grace knowing things she probably shouldn't.

Bailey Grace Pruett was born in Chicago on a crisp autumn day in 1991 to councilman Aaron Pruett and his wife journalist Jean Pruett. Grace was the third child to the couple and to Jean Pruett's great joy a girl. But as Grace grew up with her brothers Jean realized that her daughter was not going to be the princess that she had imagined. She found herself trying to keep dirt of the designer dresses she had bought for little Grace, so eventually she gave up and just let her do whatever she wanted. And what Grace wanted was running around with her brothers in the mud and wrestling.

Being a diplomats child has had an impact on Grace, her family moving around as much as they did for her father’s work made it hard for the children to make lasting friends, For that reason the Pruett children are all very close. But as the children grew in to their teens Mr. and Mrs. Pruett decided it was time to settle down in one area. So Mr. Pruett took a job at the UN headquarters and Mrs. Pruett started her own indie fashion magazine that has since grown a considerable fan base.

Even though her mother and father has high standards and expect the best from their children the Pruett's have always had an relaxed home life. Seeing as both parents have very demanding jobs they sadly do not have very much free time over to spend with their children. This meant that the Pruett siblings practically raised themselves together with their awesome housekeeper Cecily. This being said there was never any hard feelings towards their parents, they understood that the hard work that was being put in was so they could have the best in life.

But Grace took to NYC very nicely when she transferred to her old preparatory school where she luckily found her group of friends who she still are very close with.

• She has a corgie named George
• Really thought she was going to be the first one to be married out of her circle of friends.
• Is actually a vegetarian... and may have had a hand in trying to turn Chris on to it.
• She loves fashion and is always dressed the nicest in the office... full of dudes.

Someone's first impression of Ethan depends entirely on the situation they encounter in him. Someone could walk away from him thinking of him as a stoner, or as a paranoid twat with something to hide. Both are equally applicable, but on different days of the week during different types of weather — being easily bored, Ethan often finds himself lost in his own mind, determined to feel a certain emotion because it's more fitting with what the weather or what the music on the radio is like. In a way, his actions and moods are solely dictated by his environment, making him difficult at best. On rainy days he'll rush home to try and change his mood with 90s cartoons and a good smoke, and on sunny days he'll find the nearest bench and watch the world go by for three hours, probably with another smoke. Furthermore, Ethan's not a particular fan of spending his time energetically, preferring sitting on a dock (or somewhere else quiet) to going bowling or other forms of commercialised activity. Unless you get some booze in him, that is — he gets his thrills from the bar and in the bed.

Name

Jonathan P. Górecka

Jonnie, Góre

Age

29

Gender

Male

Sexuality

Heterosexual

Relationship Status

Single

Education

California State University
Harvard Law School

Occupation

Attorney

Relation to the Groom or Bride

Góre has been Darien’s closest (and most annoying) friend since they were in elementary school. Up until High School they had a close relationship and often mused over the future. However, Góre had no interest in medicine and had other plans for his life so they haven’t been in much contact since. Despite this Góre considers Darien his closest friend nonetheless and finds the wedding as an interesting avenue to “vet” the would-be people that Darien trusts.

Appearance

Standing at around six foot even, Jonathan Górecka is above the bog standard of others. Góre isn’t one to slouch, though he does oftentimes have a sort of smug demeanor even when he’s not attempting to be glib – perhaps it’s just something that is part of him. Though he doesn’t mind all that much. He’s a lawyer; he expects people to presume he’s the devil incarnate. His hair is cut short, sometimes buzzed with a facial appearance that is very rarely clean-shaven. His eyes are a brown color and his complexion tends to be tanned at best.

Personality

Jonathan Górecka has always been sarcastic, defiant, and impulsive. Over the years it’s gotten him into trouble, but it has also allowed him to be successful as an attorney since he came out of Harvard with head held high. Though really a lot of his pride in accomplishing success at Harvard was to look back to his father in a smug sense of victory. His only regret was not relishing in it sooner. That energy would be something he would take with him as he began his very first days as an attorney, a reminder to motivate him forward. But despite him trying to use his father’s disdainful words for his benefit they would always continue to echo in the back of his mind, making him second guess himself, and wonder what exactly it was what it his father wanted from him and why he had stated those words to him when he was young; why he had told him he would never amount to anything; how he was poison to everyone and everything around him. He would never get to confront his father for an answer. He died during Góre’s first year away from home. In many ways Patryk Górecka is a ghost that continues to haunt him.

Beyond his personal demon, Góre is well-attuned to the mannerisms of the high profile attorney he is becoming. He’s charismatic, strong-willed, and he resonates well with people for his approach. He knows how to make an audience move and for a man who has to compel a judge and jury it’s a very good skillset to have. Away from the courtroom and offices, Góre surrounds himself with alcohol and one-minute flings, a testament to his self-destructive personality and the fact that he hasn’t found anyone that can keep his mind grounded for more than an hour. Meeting that person isn’t important to him at the current point in time as he’s still trying to continue to chase the ghost of his late father in hopes that he can brag to an empty graveyard on how he did actually amount to something. But maybe that someone is out there who will be able to distract him for longer than one minute. He isn’t too confident that person exists, especially at a wedding.

Upbringing Synopsis

Jonathan is the youngest and only surviving son of Patryk Górecka and Dorothy Hughes.

Born into wealth and comfort, Góre has had to deal with being the second youngest of a litter that were expected to live up to their father’s whims. Everything was measured in statistics and achievements and when things were not “appropriate” their father used discipline as an appropriate response. This only got progressively worse when Góre began acting out following a messy divorce between his parents when he was nine years old and his eldest brother, Alexander, fell into drugs only two years later and began distancing himself from the family until he was found limp from a drug overdose at eighteen years old. Góre was starting to see his family fall apart at the seams and his father didn’t care. The first time he confronted his father he was thrown into a china cabinet. The irony to that situation was that the violence his father showed to him wasn’t “discipline” to him; Góre’s young mind saw it as a challenge and a way to actually get his father to act like a real person with actual emotions. He continued to push back every chance he got.

By the time he was a senior in high school his relationship with his father had gotten exponentially worse and his blatant disregard for just about everything had reached a breaking point. On a Christmas evening in 2008, his father looked at him in a drunken stupor and told him exactly what he thought of him – how he had been a mistake and how he would never amount to a goddamn thing in his life and that if he had it his way it would’ve been better if he died with Alexander. It would be an event that Góre would not be able to shake for the rest of his life. It would be the last time his father talked with him before his death fourteen months later. Góre’s biggest regret is that his father and him would never be able to sort out their issues and that he could never prove him wrong and see the look on his face.

It’s been a decade plus since and Góre doesn’t exactly have a name on his door yet, but he’s finished law school and made strides as an attorney. He’s trying to take his life one step at a time but there’s been a few differing results in if he’s doing it right. Perhaps taking some time to attend his best friend’s wedding will give him some much needed “rest time” to reflect.

Extra! Extra!

Logan Marshall Green | #CECB00

Góre was born and raised in New York City. He currently lives in Los Angeles, California.

The Górecka Family is rather large – though Góre’s two elder brothers are sitting six feet under. Alexander died in 2001 of a drug overdose and Matthew died in a car accident in 2012. Góre’s mother and four sisters are still alive, a testament to the maternal side of the family’s luck. A list of his known siblings include:

_{Samantha Górecka 1976-
Tiffany Górecka 1976-
Alexander Górecka 1983 - 2001
Matthew Górecka 1987 - 2012
Jennifer Górecka 1994-}

Góre self-identifies as a “functional alcoholic”. Sometimes the jokes seem a little bit too real. He’s known to be a stupid drunk, but never a violent one.

His sister Samantha runs the family business (investment banking) while his remaining siblings have sorted out into less traditional careers. Tiffany is a New York-based politician and Jennifer is in college studying medicine. They meet once a year for Thanksgiving because Christmas is way too awkward.

He drives a 2017 BMW 3-Series Sedan.
