►Full Name◄Aisling Isabel HawthorneThe Irish Gaelic meaning of Aisling is "Dream, Vision"
Isabel is her late grandmother's name, on her mother's side
She'd like to believe she is related to Nathaniel Hawthorne, the dark romantic novelist who wrote The Scarlet Letter.
►Nickname◄AshThe only nickname she goes by due to the limited options of nicknames her name 'Aisling' can offer. Sure there's A, Ace, or Ling but those just don't have a nice ring to it. There's no way in hell she'd let anyone call her "Isa" "Bella" or any other nicknames that can derive from her middle name. For one, she hates her middle name with a passion, primarily because girls with similar sounding names just ruined it for her, and two, she hears it enough from her parents. She doesn't need her friends calling her that.
►Birth Date◄11 - 05 - 1997 ( ♏ )
►Age◄18
►Gender◄Female
►Sexuality◄PansexualThough she's only gotten involved with men. Okay, that's a lie. She did make out with one of her girlfriends a couple of times, but that's as far as things got between them.
►Relationship Status◄SingleRecently broke up with the man of her mother's dreams. The guy her mother loved to the point that she was already planning Aisling's wedding. He was a first class A-hole. His only saving grace was he rocked in bed.
►Sexually Active◄Yeah, but she won't go all the way with just anyone.Makeouts and cuddles, sure. Anything beyond that, this includes foreplay, is when Ash draws the line unless she's REALLY into said person.
►Team Color◄GreyEvery year the summer camp administrators struggle between putting her in Green or Grey, but every year they always settle with Grey. She doesn't mind at all. Grey never fails to have a nice batch of people. Ash would like to believe she's (Grey Leader)'s right hand woman.
►Years At Camp◄FourHer dad wanted her to have something to do while she visited him in LA. This was also his way of not having to take care of his daughter. She's indifferent on the matter.
►In Depth Appearance◄At first glance, no one will ever suspect Aisling to be the daughter of a fairly wealthy Orthodontist, who would rather gamble and be with his new wife than his daughter, and a bestselling romance novelist, who cares too much about upper class society. Compared to other girls of a similar stature, Ash is levelheaded and down to Earth, not using her inheritance as some sort of leverage against others. Naturally a brunette, her dark brown, Bohemian and wavy hair has light brown highlights, which compliment her fair and sensitive skin. Her exes have complimented her eyes on various occasions and love her chic makeup style. With a little touch of allure, Ash absolutely adores dark colored lipstick.
Her height is 5'5" and she weighs around 115 lbs, depending on the day and how much she eats. For those who care to know, her bra size is 32C. What her parents do not know is she has a small tattoo under her stomach and around her waistline that says: Love me for who I am. Her ears have a standard ear lobe piercing, but that's as far as she'll go.
If Aisling isn't wearing exercise wear and doing physical activity, which she loves to do, mind you, her preferred style is her leather or jean jacket(s), a decent top that compliments her assets (or a baggy tee), and jeans, all types and shades. Sometimes her clothes can come off as promiscuous, like midriff tops that showcase her flat stomach and abs. Other times they look comfortable as hell. The best thing she wears is confidence, knowing very well her face and body is nice to look at (Don't worry, she isn't a vain bitch sometimes).
►Habits & Quirks◄⚪ Forgets to announce her arrival, accidentally making people jump in surprise when they see her.
⚪ Tendency to give mix signals
⚪ Might stare at someone for a moment too long
⚪ Closes up or runs away when people try to pry into her mind (or heart)
⚪ Early morning routine exercises!
►Likes & Dislikes◄☑ Eating Fruit
☑ People watching
☑ Dark romanticism and reading
☑ Walks (the best ones are at night)
☑ Her friends smiling
☑ Archery and darts
☑ People that want to be in her life and look pass her exterior
☑ Nature and the great outdoors
☑ Spontaneous adventures (up for interpretation)
☒ Wealthy snobs, spoiled children, ignorant fools
☒ Snap judgments
☒ Pink
☒ Needy people
☒ Her own weaknesses
☒ Her parents' selfishness
☒ Losing someone she's opened her heart to
☒ Being underestimated
☒ Mint chocolate chip ice cream
►Fears & Phobias◄Being seen as weak (which is part of why she has a hard time relying on others)
Caring about someone too much, to the point that her judgment is clouded (connects with not wanting to be seen as weak/vulnerable)
►Good Personality Traits◄⚪ Athletic
⚪ Daring
⚪ Attentive
⚪ Protective
►Bad Personality Traits◄⚪ Unintentionally intimidating
⚪ Cautious (has a hard time sharing personal problems and relying on others)
⚪ Skeptical (to things like love)
⚪ Harshly blunt
►Personality◄For starters, Aisling looks like a bitch and if someone doesn't know her, she might rub them off the wrong way. Outgoing and assure of herself, she's a woman, who won't take anyone's crap and comes off as strong and fearless. Not even the closest people to her will get away with murder. It doesn't matter where an individual came from or who their parents are (were), if Ash does not agree with them, she will tell them straight and with a sharp tongue. A great listener at heart, she will take in everything someone has to say and respond accordingly, with little to no filter. Making the best of situations, Ash won't let others ruin her time and if she can make someone feel better about themselves, even better.
Her mysterious nature is up for interpretation. Aisling is not one to share personal issues with anyone, bottling many things up and dealing with her issues alone. Always. Ash stands firm and keeps to her guns, which makes her a bit intimidating and unapproachable. However, once someone passes that threshold, they soon discover she's a caring intellect and impressively observant. Some people have known her to be their personal guardian since she shows up conveniently at the perfect time and intervenes in hazardous situations.
Her keen eye is one of the things she takes pride in. Aisling is capable of reading a situation, sizing any person up, and throwing a wrench in people's plans. If she is in her own world, like archery or going on a walk, it may be best to leave her alone. There's times that she needs to be by herself to clear her thoughts and just... not be around anyone. She enjoys dark humor and the fickle nature of being human and those interests usually influence her speech. People watching might be one of her favorite pastimes. Her steps are quiet, her breathing is steady, and her fighting is agile. She can slip in and out of a building without anyone being aware of her presence. Not because she's hard to see, any attractive woman walking around would be noticed by at least one person, but mostly because people tend to be too distracted by themselves and their personal dramas to notice her.
Using her time to her advantage, Ash observes her surroundings, looking at people's expression, actions, and the individuals they associate themselves with. This may help later on when she needs to predict how certain people react to a situation. One can say Ash has the potential to be quite manipulative and conniving if she truly wanted to ruin someone's life, but most of the time, she doesn't see the point in interfering in anyone's business unless it's absolutely necessary.
One of her most appealing features is her tendency to be a playful tease when she's out to have a good time. If you're capable of approaching her without letting her hawk stare get to you, you'll discover she is a kind and adorably spirited person, who looks out for the people in her life. A mother in that sense, she's great at taking care of everyone but herself.
Due to her inability to run to others for help or to rant to them about the lingering thoughts in her mind, she can abruptly close herself off and avoid people entirely (disappearing for long periods of times).
►Place Of Origin◄Born and raised in Greenwich, Connecticut, Ash was surrounded by socialites and debutantes. With Danish and Scottish decent, she considers herself a full fledged American, having no knowledge of her relatives outside the country. Something about breaking ties? Either way, Ash has never been able to travel the world, even if her father had, and still has, a decent salary. Her parents got a divorce while she was in middle school and afterwards, her father ran away to Los Angeles, California. Why? Probably because his mistress, who he met at New York during a business trip, lived in that general area but traveled frequently. Hence, how they met in NYC. From that point on, Aisling spent her summers with her father.
►Background◄What's there to say about a rich girl's life? Aisling is more fortunate than most. A roof over her head, food on her plate, and money to spend for luxury. All her life, (to this day) she was surrounded by snobs, spoiled princesses, and show offs. From when she was small until her mother forced her to become a debutante, Ash was a blossoming girl who got everything she wanted and more. Never wanting much but her parents' time, she was given gifts galore and experiences that not many kids could say they had before their 18th birthday. Ash was allowed to do things like rock climbing, scuba diving, cliff jumping, and etc, but never with her parents, always with a single friend of her choosing. Even then, she wasn't very close with these so-called "friends".
Approaching high school and during the time her parents were going through a nasty divorce, Ash started giving back to the community and taking control of her own life. She hated rich people. Many of them acted like they did so much for the greater good but all they did was wipe their own asses with their money. She wanted to be better than them. She needed to be better.
Drowning herself in articles and books, Aisling found her curiosity and passion for the world around her. She decided in 7th grade if she was going to be stuck in these circumstances until she could break free from her parents, she might as well make herself better as a person. After her father left to Cali, her mother grew more aggressive in terms of finding her darling Bella a suitor, truly believing she could get her daughter to marry before her 21st birthday. Her mother and her fantastical ideals were truly something that the young woman would never be able to understand.
Ash's hatred only grew more when she was surrounded by girls her age, with similar lifestyles. They were incredibly ignorant, it kind of hurt her mentally. At least during the summers, when she was with her father she had a temporary escape from her mother's control. Her father being the exact opposite and not bothering to mend their broken relationship.
Both her parents were two extremes of how a rich person could turn out. C'est la vie. Those were the cards that were dealt to her.
During the summers since sixth grade, Aisling was given enough freedom to adventure around Los Angeles and discover herself, get to know people, and explore her love life. She had a couple of secret rendezvous that neither parents were aware of, losing her virginity when she was 16. Her first love was a dreamboat of a man who was a striving musician. Unfortunately, Ash started to learn fast that 'love' was not what it was cut out to be--especially young love. Becoming like the prissy girls she couldn't stand, who were too focused on having a man make them feel better about themselves, the dark-haired girl took a step back and tried to grab a hold of her strength once more. After the summer when she was 16, her mother introduced Samuel Miller, a top dog lawyer's son. For one year, Ash tried to give this guy a try for her mother's sake. No more heated romances, just a committed relationship but... she just couldn't. Great in bed but terrible to talk to. Patiently, she waited to break up with him right before she was sent off to Los Angeles, right before she would attend Camp Liberty for her fourth consecutive year.
►Miscellaneous◄Her mother made her study Danish and Gaelic growing up so she could know her roots and where her family came from (but not actually the members of her family). Ash use to know how to speak Danish but then she focused her studies elsewhere like current issues and literature. Learning languages was never her cup of tea. Note: She's still able to understand it to some degree.
Aisling is known more for: her observant skills, her capability to fight and protect herself, her ballsy risk-taking, and her unexpected and silent presence (catching many people off guard).
►Extra◄Watching films, eating, and being a geek...???

Ariels style is described as Grunge or borderline Emo. The young woman dresses selectively in all black the majority of the time, though will occasionally wear white or other dark colors.

Her hair is a dark brown, sometimes confused for black, and can be seen worn down or in a braid, perhaps in a ponytail when doing strenuous activities. Her bangs are what some may call choppy, and have no particular form, constantly swept to the left side of her face.
Makeup is something that Ariel is not a stranger to. Of course she isn’t going to spend four hours on the task in the morning, but eyeliner is practically one of the girls best friends, along with her mascara.
The young woman has a tattoo of an flying eagle in the middle of her lower arm.

►Bad Personality Traits◄~Sarcastic
~Has the tendency to say random, violent things.
~Socially awkward as freak.
~Random as heck.
►Personality◄
"I've been called a comical bitch and violently funny, so that counts for something."On the outside looking in, Ariel is one of the most happy, socially awkward people that you could ever meet. Always saying something goofy, and having a way with words, the girl is the type to almost always have a smile on her face and is not quick to get angered. Having slight social anxiety is perhaps the reason for her social awkwardness, which causes her to say really random things. Ariel is the type of girl that may come off as a bitch, but she's the blunt kind of girl that when she says something mean, it's funny. Some may say that the girl is violent, with her outbursts of random, crazy, violent sayings but she probably won't choke you with a marshmellow. However, that's the coverup that she puts on.
The truth is, Serafina suffers from depression. The girl tends to keep her emotions bottled inside and simply do her best to release them through her blogs,videos,and music. She simply don't take any medication for it because she is to ashamed to talk about it, causing her to put on an act. Being socially awkward, it is hard for Ariel to express herself unless she is behind a screen, and, in fact, is shy when it comes to meeting new people. Of course, you may think how is she brave with all of this going on inside of her, but she's brave in a different way than you think. Ariel is brave enough to face the day starting out with a positive attitude no matter how bad she knows it's going to be.
The young woman hates drama, gossip, and any other thing of the sort. She can typically be seen hanging out with the guys at school, because she considers females to much drama. Of course, if you ask her how she is doing, you will receive a great and a goof thumbs up. Not being able to express herself truthfully angers her to no end, though, just like her true feelings, she doesn't let it show. In short, the girl is a half read book. To know her, you must first know the whole story.
►Place Of Origin◄Decatur, Illinois.
►Background◄"Momma please forgive me, for Daddy says it's all my fault."
Serafina Ariel Gray was born in a city located in Illinois to the parents known as Marianna and Trillian Gray. Marriana was a surgeon and Trillian was, and is, a respectable member of the community, and one of the best lawyers around. However, just like with Ariel, that is not the true story about the man. Marianna thought that the man was great, they married just two years before their daughter was born, and the two were madly in love at the time. Trillian was a loving father up until the time that Ariel was five, and then something inside the man just... changed. When Ariel came home from school on the bus, she assumed that her father was just upset shouting about a case, just as he usually did at times. What she walked in on was horrible. Her mother was in the floor, her arms shielding her face as her father hit her over and over. There was various holes in the walls, and many of the families pictures had fallen to the floor, the glass broken. Not understanding what was going on, tears started to wet the little girls face. "Mommy," she said, her voice scared and shaking. Both of her parents turned to look at her, her mother getting up with a tear soaked face as well, rushing to her and wrapping her in a hug.
These episodes went on until Ariel was the age of nine. Fed up with her father's ways, the little girl did her best to get in between her parents. The man instead unleashed his anger on her, and this was the first time that Ariel felt her fathers wrath. Her mother did her best to stop him as well, and in the end, he did, but not before bruises had formed on Ariels skin. This happened on and off until the age of 12 -perhaps every three months or so-, when Marianna was killed in a car crash. It was this night that the girl seen that side of her father once more, multiplied.
It was at the age of thirteen that she tried to break away, and find a release for what she was feeling inside. Turning to her music more and more, Ariel also created a blog and a youtube channel with her dancing and singing. She started to draw and climb trees, staying outside of that dreaded house as long as she could. She took up baby sitting jobs and began to save her own money to do things. It was at the age of fourteen that she realized she was truly depressed. Her school life was horrible and filled with bullies, and most of all, she couldn't understand her father. How could he function and be so normal outside of the home, but yet a monster within?
It was at the age of fifteen when Ariel officially stood up for herself. When her father hit her that night, she simply pulled a knife on him. "So help me, if you lay one more hand on me I will make sure you never do it again. You may be my father, but you haven't earned the right to do this to me." Just as usual, tears were running down her face. Trillians facial expression changed from anger, to fear, to sorrow. "I'm sorry," he mumbled. Disgusted with what she seen before her she slammed the knife down on the counter and ran to her room.
Getting on her blog once more and talked to a person who had messaged her with a similar problem. This was how she found out about Camp Liberty. Running back downstairs, she shoved the laptop at her father. "I want to go. I want to go to this camp." Reluctantly, the two had the longest conversation that they had in years, and her father agreed.

thank you lovely!! @HushedWhispers
►Full Name◄oliver jamison cash
►Nickname◄'ollie' or 'oli' seem to set him off when said to his face; apparently they sound too childish. we'll call him that anyway.
►Birth Date◄may 26 (gemini)
►Age◄15
►Gender◄cisgender male
►Sexuality◄closeted homosexual & homoromantic
►Relationship Status◄single, and not quite searching
►Sexually Active◄not at all
►Team Color◄grey
►Years At Camp◄this is oli's first year
►In Depth Appearance◄oliver has a very androgynous face, with slightly chubby cheeks and a pixielike, upturned nose. he's been slow to develop, and as such doesn't quite have the strong jawline or square face that most other young man do. his eyes only help to babify his facial features, peering out glaringly cerulean and are almost unsettling in all their brightness. he seems to be wearing a permanent frown, not exactly a grimace but still too grieving to be a neutral expression. while some people have a 'resting bitch face,' oliver suffers from 'resting frowny face.' not very original, if you ask me.
his body is equally genderless. he doesn't have very strong shoulders, but they are straight-set and not as curved as a biological girl's. he is fairly skinny, weighing in at about one hundred and thirteen pounds, paired with a diminutive height of five foot seven. he has no muscle mass in his arms or legs, and the only thing that keeps his body from complete shapelessness might be the natural pocket of fat over his stomach. he's particularly annoyed by that - he'd prefer to be on either end of the body shape spectrum than have some weird bit of pudge from out of nowhere.
►Habits & Quirks◄- probably off-putting to others, oliver picks at his skin, mostly around his nails and knuckles. it makes the most annoying noise and likely doesn't look all that pretty, either.
- ollie pulls his hair from his head - a classic, albeit minor, case of trichotillomania. he'll twist the locks mostly from behind his ear around his finger and use that as leverage to rip them out.
- whenever he's sitting or in some leaning position where it's possible, oli will shake his leg and tap his feet on the ground. he's heard from somewhere that it "burns, like, twice as many calories as sitting still does."
- this could be considered a bad habit, as oliver isn't necessarily always doing it: slouching. he can't square his shoulders or straighten his spine to save his life. if someone reminds him, though, he'll likely shoot right back up and correct the issue.
- people from his team tend to be calmer, one might find, but oli seems to run everywhere he goes instead of patiently walking.
►Likes & Dislikes◄- likes: cold weather, (hot) tea - preferably irish breakfast, oversized sweaters, science, the x-files, ufos
dislikes: most dependent animals, large crowds, loud noises, small spaces, sitting still for too long, swimming, physical exercise
►Fears & Phobias◄oliver is agoraphobic (he can't stay in the middle of large crowds for too long), and while he doesn't suffer from clinical social anxiety, he does get a tad nervous in social situations.
►Good Personality Traits◄bright. intuitive. witty. respectful. analytical. observant.
►Bad Personality Traits◄deluded. unintelligent. paranoid. reserved. socially inept. incompetent.
►Personality◄most of the time, oli's personality is both passionate and composed. he has an innocent curiosity that when combined with his creativity yields a character that is fascinated with everything, and fascinating in itself. he has a vast (or, rather, random) array of knowledge, which helps him to piece together ideas that would not often be associated with each other. in terms of emotional sensitivity, oliver is unsurpassed, with a specific talent for empathizing with other people's pain. despite his addictive personality, he remains very independent.
though oli is capable of being charming when he wants to be, for him it's just a tool. he is not an especially warm and intimate person, and his native stand-offishness is likely to have been a big contributing factor in his lack of closeness with others. even the few times he's opened up to close friends, personal revelations have often been shrouded in levity.
he radiates an aura of mystery, and his insightful observations and original ideas enable him to push change through with sheer willpower and force of personality. at times it will seem that he is bent on deconstructing and rebuilding every idea and system he comes into contact with, employing a sense of perfectionism and even morality to this work. anyone who doesn’t have the talent to keep up with his processes, or worse yet, doesn’t see the point of them, is likely to immediately and permanently lose his respect.
white lies and small talk are hard enough as it is for oliver, who craves truth and depth, but he may go so far as to see many social conventions as downright stupid. ironically, it is often best for him to remain where he is comfortable – out of the spotlight – where the natural confidence prevalent in him as he works with familiar environs can serve as its own beacon, attracting people, romantically or otherwise, of similar temperament and interests. mostly, social interaction is hard for him because his mind tends to switch from one topic to another in seconds, focusing on delusions and his false perceptions. it's all very exhausting for ollie.
oliver kind of tends to act without conscience, and his distaste for acting on emotion can emphasize that fact. he seems almost emotionless, deemed by others as cold-blooded and insensitive living by the mantra that emotions are for the weak. in fact, this isn't the case, and isn't ever going to be. while he will never be comfortable with a truly public display of emotions, tommy tries very hard to use them, to channel them alongside his creative approaches to issues to help him achieve his goals.
it is not easy to become good friends with oli. rather than traditional rules of social conduct or shared routine, oliver has exacting expectations for intellectual prowess, uncompromising honesty and a mutual desire to grow and learn as sovereign individuals. he is gifted, bright and development-oriented, and expect and encourage his friends to share this attitude. anyone falling short of this will be labeled a bore – anyone meeting these expectations will appreciate him of their own accord, forming a powerful and stimulating friendship that will stand the test of time. he does however, develop the odd delusion about people he meets... that proves to be a deal breaker for most, who don't like being unable to contact their newfound friend or be ghosted for weeks when oli grows suspicious or paranoid of them.
►Place Of Origin◄emeryville, california
►Background◄oliver's household started out loose from the beginning. his mother was a relatively wealthy woman, inheriting money from her father, a designer; his father was a relatively broken man, spending his own resources on nothing but alcohol day after day. thankfully, oliver senior didn't exactly fit into the violent cliché that's placed upon most alcoholic fathers. in fact, the man spent his days half-comatose on the couch, barely paying attention to the rambunctious kids he'd gotten stuck with. after having oliver, they got to work with a sibling that turned into two little twin girls. thus, oliver's job went from taking care of himself and his father to taking care of four humans all while attending school and otherwise. he went so far as to make personal rules for himself, obsessing over routines to keep the house afloat.
as a toddler, his intelligence was blossoming. he loved to draw and paint, but not on walls or with crayons on printer paper like other children. he drew on books, colour-coding his words like a natural synesthete and helping the illustrators fill in their sketches (obviously, mother didn't take all that well to her novels being desecrated like that). he picked up dictionaries early on and started learning the words and dictating them to his sisters. mother was rather unimpressed when his first word was not 'mom' or 'dad' or any variations of those terms, but 'obsess.' he claimed to relate to it quite well.
when he reached later childhood, the aforementioned responsibilities were placed on him. his mother, just reaching promotion to the CEO of a major fashion designer's company, left the house for months at a time to network. he realised his family didn't pay very much attention to him and took it hard. oliver turned to impressing his teachers, if only for a few moments, and bringing his fellow students to jealousy. when he got home, however, dad was always asleep on the couch, and the twins had gone at least six hours without food - it was always that way, after all. he ensured they all ended up fine by the end of the night, typically, but oliver himself remained malnutrited for the majority of his life because of the physical and mental stress.
camp liberty came to him by word of mouth. supposedly, it was a promising escape for kids his age. obviously oliver begged his mother to hire someone for at least the summer to take care of the family while he was gone, and with enough mindless pleading, she reluctantly agreed.
