Hard worker, great dancer, at first glance a total bitch

[ people think she's a vampire on looks alone half the time ], has a black sphinx cat named Poe, a few tattoos here and there - small ones, ears, nose and septum pierced.

Sal’s style is very edgy and jumps around from being sleek and put together to being messy and grungy. She’s not a fan of anything cute, preppy, basic, ‘normal’, or girly. Though she can be found in all the above. Ripped jeans, leather jackets, platform boots, crop tops, concert t-shirts, short dresses, all black everything, weird lace-up clothes and strappy tops, long socks, etc. She’s overall an alternative girl.

Jalapenos and just spicy foods in general. Pasta with a red sauce. Red wine. Garlic stuffed olives. Pickle okra.

a life of luxury | cats | loud music | dark makeup | parties | impressing people | insulting people in Italian | bubblegum | Quentin Tarantino films | lingerie | photo shoots | clubbing | dancing | taking risks

being the youngest | daytime tv | boredom | sequin | second place | sharing things eating noises | being ignored | growing too attached to people | fake Italian food | the act of making new friends | anyone with the ability to gross her out


↳ She doesn't like listening to people talk for longer than a few minutes so she interrupts all the damn time, stops paying attention, gets restless or just walks away completely
↳ Has the tendency to overshoot, normally doesn't disappoint, but she aims higher than she should and is always trying to impress people [ this usually results in long lectures about arrogance or the possibility of failure to which she responds with "But did I fail? No." ]
↳ Natural born arguer and will contradict people for fun or out of boredom
↳ Sal bites her thumb when she's nervous

---

Sal comes from a large Italian American family where she is the youngest daughter of four. Mother was a model and her father is a prominent businessman dealing in procuring hard to obtain items. If it sounds shady that's because it is and you'd be wise not to get on the Castiglione family's bad side.

Personality: Overall she's a very friendly person and cares deeply for others, whether they've been in her life for over a decade or over a month. Many times this has led her to getting betrayed by those people, but she tends to never learn her lesson. Most people she meets have no idea she has faced any hardship in her life, as she isn't one to use that as a crutch.

He became physically and mentally abusive to her (never sexually). Eventually at the age of 15 she was able to move in with her friend, Brittany's, family, also located in Ashton. She doesn't talk much about her past as she doesn't want others to feel bad for her but again, she does bottle those feelings and they have the potential to explode one day.

Diego Rivera

_{"To find yourself, think for yourself."}

About

AGE: 24
PRONOUNS: Him / His
OCCUPATION: Chef at Monty's Diner | Bartender at The Parlour
SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Heterosexual

PERSONALITY

An introvert to the very core, Diego doesn't talk as much as people would probably expect him to; instead, he'd much rather focus more on his own internal thoughts, feelings and moods. However, this does not mean that he's shy or timid, he's just more reserved and prefers to keep to himself most of the time. Diego is also a very observant and detail-oriented person, something that comes in handy when in social situations and when he's on the job; he tends to notice things that the average person typically wouldn't. When someone approaches Diego or tries to make conversation, he's usually kind and warm; his natural patience is also a big help whenever he has to engage in meaningless conversation with drunken night-clubbers. All in all, Diego is a pretty laid-back individual who most people can get along with.

On the more negative side of things, Diego unfortunately has a tendency to be a little too nonchalant, withdrawn and secretive. And although it takes a lot to provoke Diego, once he's pushed past his limit he'll usually say some things that'll be hard to take back or make up for later. It's easy for him to use his words as a way to hurt others, and he becomes especially vicious when someone's pissed him off. Diego also tends to be a little self-absorbed and selfish, especially when it comes to working to achieve his goals. At the end of the day, he'll do whatever he needs to in order to get what he wants, even if it means stepping on some toes.

HOW LONG HE'S LIVED IN ASHTON: 8 years
WHAT DO PEOPLE KNOW?

Those that have known Diego since he first arrived in Ashton about 8 years ago know him as the "problem child" turned model citizen. After his mother grew frustrated with her son's bad behavior, Diego was consequently shipped from Queens, New York all the way to Ashton, Colorado when he was sixteen years old. From that point onward, he lived with his great Aunt and Uncle, both of whom instantly put him to work in their family diner and began to mold him into the young man they needed him to be. It didn't take long for them to figure out that Diego wasn't as bad as his mother had led them to believe; he was actually quite respectful of his elders, and much more introverted than they'd expected him to be. He was simply a product of his environment... a follower in a group of boys who favored mischief and crime over morals.

Now, for those who haven't known Diego very long merely see him as the man with the rough hands, cool tattoos, and kind smile who probably works more than he sleeps or eats. They know him as the guy who occasionally serves them his famous Monty Burgers when the diner is busy or pours them a drink when they're trying to have a good time in the nightclub. Diego doesn't really let too many people get close to him, but it's pretty well known by his coworkers and basically anyone who asks that he's saving up money to move back to New York within the next couple of years.

Monty's Diner

Monty's Diner has been around for several decades now, and is known for their burgers and cheese steak subs, large portions, and low prices. Many people consider the diner to feel like their second home; the owner, Monty Rivera, and his wife, Charlene, built the place from the ground up when they were just two young newlyweds, and have worked hard ever since to see their creation turn into one of Ashton's hottest spots to grab a bite to eat. Although they've upgraded the inside decoration, waitresses will usually still be seen serving customers on roller skates.

Dee

Name: Deandra "Dee" Waters

Age: 24

Pronouns: They/Them

Profession: Photographer

Personality: outspoken, vulgar, level-headed, independent, loyal, won't trust those outside of my circle, my pet lizard is my #1 (sorry not sorry), ride-or-die to those who earn it

How long have you lived in Ashton?: I moved here about 5 years ago, shortly after leaving home in New York to work photography in L.A.. It was only supposed to last a few months, until I could work to finish paying for my trip across the states, but I met someone here. Trent sucked the soul right out of me and took everything I had, right up until he was sent to prison. So, now I'm here; just working my way out of the mess he left me with.

What would most people know about you?: Not much. Ever since I started washing money for Trent, I've kept to myself. The only people that know me here are my photography clients (independent skateboarders, unsigned models, brides/grooms, etc).

Reno Valentine

The Man

Age: 51
Gender: Male

What would most people know about you?: Reno is a new kid on the block, so to speak, hoping to launch a new extension of his franchise within the town.
Additional info you want to share: Divorced about 5 years ago, Reno has dived deep into his work which consists of nightly entertainment, promotions, and liquor distributions.

A fan of reading, business, excess and spontaneity, Reno is a party in a Man Suit and wants nothing more than to have a good time.

Elsie Arden

---

---

---

Age:
Twenty-two

Pronouns:
She / Her

Profession:
Currently unemployed and desperately searching for income, but she will say she is an artist.
She has performed with local artists and filled in for missing acts in whenever she can, though this was typically in exchange for a night on a couch.

Time in Ashton:
Two Weeks

---

PERSONALITY

---

A pair of rose-colored glasses seem to always be situated upon the bridge of Elsie’s nose. The level of over-optimism she presents to even the most mundane situations occasionally leaves people assuming she is inauthentic. The missed or lost connections as a result of this has stifled and steeled some of her demeanor, but granted her a hint of witty humor utilized as a way to relate to others. Elsie is quick to jump on the opportunity to socialize and spends much of her time out and about, though this could also be directly related to the fact that she has only just found an apartment and her car was getting a bit cold at night.

Curiosity has so often nearly killed the woman, with an insatiable need to learn and discover. A well dusted and polished childhood left this urge fulfilled within the pages of a vast collection of books, but her newfound freedom has brought it all to life. With this naivety and ability to be so easily captivated, she has recently offered herself to more trouble than anticipated, though she somehow spins these experiences into just good stories.

---

EXTRAS

---

Being a fresh face to Ashton, Elsie’s addiction to caffeine, generous greetings to strangers, and knack for performing is the extent to which most know the girl. She is eager, possibly too eager, to meet a few townies, however.

• Elsie was taught piano at a young age per her mother’s request, but she also picked up guitar along the way. She is overall musically skilled, but most of her talent falls in her voice.
• She writes spoken word along with her own songs, but they rarely make it to light.
• She has a fascination with aging literature and film. But her favorite will always be horror flicks.
• Has a passion for conservation and sustainable living. She also has a very green thumb and knack for gardening as a stress reliever.
