|| MORE IN-DEPTH APPEARANCE ||
The smaller of the Hartford girls at just under five feet, Kelsey does as much as she can to stand out. Before she dyed her hair from black to silver, nobody paid any mind to the tiny Asian girl with the oddly American name. Over the summer, however, she and her sister both dyed their hair, and Kelsey has revamped her wardrobe to be as fashionable and attention-grabbing as possible.

|| PERSONALITY TRAITS ||
Hotheaded, Loyal, Likeable, Attention-seeking, Arrogant
|| PERSONALITY ||
Kelsey is easily the louder and more fiery of the sisters; she’s often fun and likeable, but piss her off even slightly and she’s liable to blow up at you. Only her loyalty to Kris can keep her emotions in check; too often, Kelsey gets herself into trouble and Kristina has to pull her out of it and keep her head level.
Regardless, people flock to Kelsey (and Kristina) in droves. Between her immense vocal talent, her ability to relate to literally everyone, and her mother’s wealth, what’s not to like? Kelsey loves the attention, and as long as nobody challenges her ego or goes after Kris at all, there’s no problem.
She likes to have a lot of “fake” friends, but knows how to keep a few “real” ones, too. Her loyalty to Kris isn’t an exclusive deal - Kelsey does have room for a few more friends at the table, and honestly, there might not be anything she wants more than more friends at the table.

Sister (Adoptive) - Kristina Hartford - Student
|| HOUSE DESCRIPTION ||
Kelsey and Kris have the luxury of living in an upper class neighborhood, thanks entirely to their mother’s earnings as a real estate agent. It’s no mansion, but it’s got two floors and an attic, and everyone gets their own bedroom. The neighborhood is new and modern, a recent development project only completed within the last few years. Their mother hires people to keep the place in top condition, though the girls are expected to clean up after themselves and help the gardeners and cleaning service whenever they come.
|| CAR DESCRIPTION ||
No car yet, but when Kristina gets one she’s gonna drive Kelsey everywhere.
my mind is almost nineteen and i still feel angry
|| BIOGRAPHY ||
Her birth mother did not want her; Kelsey was put up for adoption immediately. She spent two weeks in the hospital after her birth before Helena Hartford strolled along, looking to adopt a child. The woman, 28 at the time, had no intention of marrying or carrying a child, and found that adoption would be her best bet. She adopted Kelsey, bringing the baby into her own home as if she were her own.
Kelsey can’t remember when she found out she was adopted, but it was never an issue. Her relationship with Helena Hartford was as strong as any biological relationship. They had their disagreements here and there, particularly throughout middle school, but it was never anything serious.
When Kelsey was 6, she came home from school to discover that her mother had adopted another daughter, Kristina. She didn’t ask any questions, only accepted her new sister whole-heartedly. The two grew to be quite close as they grew up, becoming virtually inseparable. Their mother pampered them, but was also sure to make sure they were raised well, having them do their own chores and working for their allowance despite her exorbitant wealth. Eventually, Kelsey did learn the truth about Kristina’s life, but it did nothing to change her perceptions of her mother or of Kristina.

|| MORE IN-DEPTH APPEARANCE ||
At 5’8, Kris is of just above average height, but since she’s almost always standing next to Kelsey, she looks a lot taller.
we sat on cold concrete
|| PERSONALITY TRAITS ||
Level-headed, Optimistic, Stubborn, Dreamer
|| PERSONALITY ||
The calmer, quieter Hartford, but by no means a pushover. Kris can more than take care of herself, but is smart enough to know when to pick a fight and when to let something go. It’s a lesson Kelsey hasn’t yet learned, so Kris usually finds herself pulling Kelsey away from people before she rips their eyes out. She likes to see the good in life, particularly when Kelsey is fishing for the bad. She always wants to find a better way to handle problems, or a better reason as to why a problem occurs.
Most people only know Kris as the “other Hartford girl” at first, but once they spend a little time getting to know her, they realize she’s just as interesting as Kelsey, and is just as much of her own person. Kris’ social life suffers from being attached to Kelsey all the time, but she wouldn’t have it any other way. She could have her own cliques and her own circle of friends independent of Kelsey’s, but Kris is more than happy being overshadowed by her sister as long as it keeps them together.
The one thing she hates most is when people make assumptions about her life. She’s a black girl adopted by a rich white woman, and for some reason, people think that means that Kris has it easy and doesn’t know what it’s like to be struggling. Given that that assumption is completely untrue, it’s the only thing that can really piss Kris off.

● She can remember faces, but not names
● Doesn’t approach people often
● Tends to just. Disappear. Like she’ll just leave a group of people if she feels left out or bored or anything. She always texts Kelsey where she goes, though.

transfixed on lullabies
|| BIOGRAPHY ||
She was born Olivia Thompson, to a single, jobless mother living alone in lower-class Detroit, Michigan, with no siblings. They struggled to survive, begging on the streets while her mother fought for hours at the local grocery store. It was difficult, and Olivia hated every minute of it.
When Olivia was five, her mother was arrested on charges of drug abuse and possession. She was taken by child services and moved from foster home to foster home, once again hating everything about it.
Fortunately, one of the foster homes Olivia was at was close to Helena Hartford. Helena offered to adopt the girl and take her into her own home, if Olivia took a liking to Helena. After about a month of Helena visiting the foster home and getting to know Olivia, the two agreed that Olivia should go home with Helena and meet Kelsey. They also agreed that Olivia would change her name completely, in an attempt for the girl to move on past her childhood and try to restart her life.
At first, Kristina, as she chose to be known, was nervous in her new home. Her new sister, Kelsey, was friendly towards her, and after a while, Kristina warmed up as well. The two got along perfectly, and now, they’re completely inseparable.

|| RELATIONSHIP STATUS ||
Who the fuck needs ‘em?
|| MORE IN-DEPTH APPEARANCE ||
Jess is an imposing person; she’s 5’11, with a lithe frame that has modelling agencies just begging the Grossman family to get Jess into the industry. She dresses to the part of spoiled New York City rich girl on a rebellious streak. Her outfits very often get her in trouble with dress codes at school, but her father’s a smart and rich enough lawyer to pressure the school with accusations of sexism and let Jess dress how she wants.
why the fuck do you care?
|| PERSONALITY TRAITS ||
Independent, Confident, Irresponsible, Sexual
|| PERSONALITY ||
Jess’ personality benefits from a very loose leash maintained by her parents; they are of the mindset that Jess is fully capable of exploring who she is as a person by herself. Their job is to keep her out of legal trouble and teach her how not to get herself killed.
As you can imagine, giving a young girl a lot of money and a lot of room to operate doesn’t exactly make her a model citizen. Jess is already a smoker, both cigarettes and marijuana, and she’s more than willing to explore everything for the sake of “understanding more about herself.” The world is a playground, and Jess has the keys to it.
It’s a mystery whether Jess sees other people as people at this point, or just tools for her enjoyment. She doesn’t really have a lot of respect for anyone besides herself, though she knows where the line between plain rudeness and complete bigotry is. Jess doesn’t pretend to know what it’s like to be on the wrong side of a power dynamic, since her confidence and family wealth almost always give Jess the upper hand.
She’s wary of people that are drawn to her, largely because she knows her reputation often precedes her, and most people just want her for a quick fuck. That’s not how she operates, but most people don’t seem to get that. As such, Jess doesn’t really have any real friends, but most people know who she is.

|| BIOGRAPHY ||
This isn’t the first summer before freshman year Jess has had; just a year ago, Jess was living in the Hamptons in New York City, preparing to start her real first year of high school. Of course, when you get caught sending pictures of yourself to an older man over the internet and having phone sex with him, that can derail those high school plans pretty significantly.
She’s spent the larger part of the last year sitting in a room with lawyers working out a lawsuit settlement between her parents and the man she had been talking to. Jess skipped that year of high school, and when her family realized that there was absolutely no way to escape the media attention that came with Jess’ case, they relocated to her father’s hometown of Arrowsmith, South Dakota.
Not that this was the first sexual incident Jess has been involved in; by her count, she’s made out with enough people to fill a bus, and she’s fucked at least seven of them. Call her a slut, call her a rebel, Jess doesn’t quite give a shit; she likes the feeling of empowerment that sex gives her. Moving to South Dakota hasn’t been the most thrilling time of her life, but she’ll make it work. The only question her parents have for her is if Jess can avoid another incident.
