@MissCapnCrunch@sakurasan@Filthy Mudblood
How would you post a collab after it has been written?

Also side note with nothing to do with this rp to @Filthy Mudblood: Love your username and I get it.

@carla6677

If I can give advice, just one of you pick who should post, and put both names up top.

Aʀʀᴏᴡsᴍɪᴛʜ: Fʀᴇsʜᴍᴀɴ Yᴇᴀʀ

Bit short but posted! Just gonna answer a last message or two, then off to bed for me.

Selene A. Cross

Location: The bleachers
Interactions: @King Tai - Ezera

---

First day of school. Selene Cross had to admit, her day had not started off well. Despite all of her planning and careful thought, her morning plans were ruined by her little brother occupying the bathroom for almost an hour. By the time she did finish the shower and drying her hair, foundation, concealer, and eyeliner were out of the question. She told herself it was fine and stuck to the basics. She could salvage this. It may not be the first impression she wanted to make, but not showing up or showing up late lent themselves to their own impressions. At least she had laid out everything the night before. The dark purple stockings were first, then the white lacy-sleeved dress (and the hem just long enough to avoid a rule infraction on her first day!), the lilac-colored bows pinned onto her pigtails, the black pump shoes (it was still a carnival, after all. Even if the white was a bit of a risk). Mascara, light pink lipstick, and a touch of pink eyeshadow - and then the thick black sunglasses that covered up half of her work. It didn't bother her as she picked up her backpack and went downstairs.

When Nikki spilled milk across the table and onto her bag, that bothered her. She had to switch to a smaller purse and hope it would still be able to carry everything she wanted.

But nope, thanks to her little brother, she wasn't fully prepared for school, and she had to leave the bag of caramel candies at home. Typical. They wouldn't know, she reminded herself on the way to the high school for her first day. There were many people here she'd never met before and, therefore, knew nothing of her. They wouldn't know what she had to forgo for the day and would be distracted by the festivities. She for one was looking forward to them - perhaps she could win a stuffed tiger or two at the carnival games? By the time she had reached school and been seated at the bleachers, her annoyances had been forgotten in favor of surveying her new classmates. Tomorrow, she was going to have sweets for everyone. Probably cookies - sugar. In case there were any allergies to chocolate. She'd only seen it once, but better safe and sorry, and sugar cookies were still fairly beloved in her experience. But bring in the caramels too, why not.

There were so many people she didn't recognize, she realized. She had known it was likely in the back of her mind, but it felt so different seeing it in person. This would surely be a challenge, but not one she'd turn down. She could totally do this.

That said, she did note, from her vantage point, that someone she expected to see was missing. Strange; a last-minute vacation or illness? Or maybe just running late. Once the speech ended and classes began to be released, Selene sighed and began moving down the bleachers, adjusting her sunglasses to protect from the early morning sun and curious stares. She reached a spot near the front, enjoying the view down near the ground much better, and sat.

Not even minutes later, he arrived. She could already see he was taking stock of the class as well, just for slightly different reasons. She smiled and waved. "EJ, would you mind?" The informal nickname and semi-formal style of speaking seemed to clash, and yet she didn't notice as she called him over.

Aʀʀᴏᴡsᴍɪᴛʜ: Fʀᴇsʜᴍᴀɴ Yᴇᴀʀ

Please everyone dont take my OOC negativity as my characters... Anyone can interact with him at any point. Talk to me about it if you would like, or just simply send me the post with Ronin's dialog in it and I can edit it as I see fit then we can post it over here.

@iHxzardx

For the record, I'm not. Just been chatting around for relationships and got @King Tai's permission for Selene and Ezera to interact is all.

Aʀʀᴏᴡsᴍɪᴛʜ: Fʀᴇsʜᴍᴀɴ Yᴇᴀʀ

@LovelyAnastasia Well, just gonna try to fit in some of Selene's relations, then get her introductory post up then resume sketching pokemon crap.

And um, music? Um...I guess rock? Whatever you'd pin The Birthday Massacre down as? Lot of instrumental stuff too, not really classical though. If that makes sense.

Aʀʀᴏᴡsᴍɪᴛʜ: Fʀᴇsʜᴍᴀɴ Yᴇᴀʀ

@MissCapnCrunch Wynona's a fan of fashion, hm?

@MechonRaptor Don't suppose Nathaniel ever went to the Community Center pool? @smarty0114 Also noticed Jacob's a swimmer...

@King Tai And also noticed you liked Selene's sheet.

You four wanna talk about possible relationships with Selene?

Yeah, going for the obvious ones first. So sue me.

Aʀʀᴏᴡsᴍɪᴛʜ: Fʀᴇsʜᴍᴀɴ Yᴇᴀʀ

@MissCapnCrunch Thank you! Added her and, uh, probably gonna need a couple hours - finish reading the IC, posting, and also @mentioning at people who I think Selene MIGHT be familiar with to discuss the possibility of relationships.

Female

|| AGE ||

|| GRADE ||

Ninth

|| SEXUALITY ||

Apparently disinterested (aka asexual)

|| RELATIONSHIP STATUS ||

Single, but open

|| MORE IN-DEPTH APPEARANCE ||

Selene prefers to keep her black curly hair in either curly pigtails or a bun. When in pigtails, it reaches just a bit past her shoulder blades - not terribly long. While relatively broad in the shoulders, particularly compared to the rest of her body, she’s not particularly imposing. She’s a bit tall, standing at 5’8”, but her slender build undercuts any intimidation factor. It doesn’t seem to bother her. Her skin is dark, and she prefers to wear pastel-tinted or even white dresses for contrast. For similar reasons, she prefers light-colored makeup when possible, though mostly when she has the time for it. Otherwise, she sticks with mascara and lipstick. Her nails are usually painted with french tips - a bit amateurishly, but painted nonetheless. To complete her outfit, she likes dark stockings and a purple bow pinned in her hair.

And, of course, she always wears black sunglasses.

In the event that they are knocked off or, more unlikely, she is persuaded to take them off, her left eye is dark brown. Her right eye is a fogged-over white, with the sclera looking an angry shade of red.

“Not diabetic, are you?”

|| PERSONALITY TRAITS ||

Cheerful. Sensitive. Polite. Kind. Meticulous. Artful. Good listener.

|| PERSONALITY ||

Selene tries her best to come across as a good person. She’ll take extra notes for a sick peer, offer assistance in classes to a floundering student, be willing to ask questions on someone else’s behalf, carry extra sanitary pads, and bring in baked goods as a present for peers or teachers. She’s unfazed by the idea of illness or blood, so she’s usually the first to volunteer to escort a fellow student to the nurse’s office if they need help. She tries to offer advice to other students, but only if asked - some people would just rather be left alone, and it’s better to let them be than to force your way into their life, you know? Can’t win over everyone, especially by being pushy.

The next most important thing in Selene’s life is her love for swimming. She almost swears she was born a mermaid and made human - except, in her mind, that clashes with the impression of a good person, so she’ll only ever say such a thing in jest. She’s rather good at it too, and is largely hindered only by her difficulty in judging the distance to the edge of the pool. As such, any competitive swimming event that requires laps is one she cannot participate in, unless she’s overly familiar with the pool. If you’re willing to swim with her - and even warn her about the walls - odds are good she’ll like you immediately.

Selene attempts to deflect questions about herself - her family, her background, her sunglasses. If pressed, she will reveal she has a doctor’s note for her sunglasses so it’s ok to wear them all the time. The reason for the note? A terrible infection as an eye child that has discolored her right eye and rendered it blind. She’s quite sensitive to this, as well as the accompanying problems a loss of depth perception can generate. If she feels like she’s being teased for it, even in jest, she will start crying and asking why you’re being so mean to her. It’s bad enough she has to struggle to see well and is limited in what she can do, but now she has to put up with her classmates teasing her over something that can’t be fixed? And with everything she does to try to help people too.

|| QUIRKS ||

● When thinking ahead, she fiddles with the temples of her sunglasses.
● Always has a bathing suit in her bookbag and purse. ALWAYS.
● She can get completely immersed in something, even ignoring people touching her. It takes a hard shove or her own decision to end it.
● She believes in mermaids.
● Off the top of her head, she’s pretty good at identifying what phase the moon will be in. She occasionally jokes that it’s because of her name.
● She wears sunglasses indoors.
● She’s a fan of text emojis - e.g. :D

|| HOBBIES ||

● Swimming. Due to her condition, she can’t participate in most pool-based competitions, but has participated in some open water swimming races and placed well.
● Photography. The world just looks different through a camera. Very casual quality.
● Visual novel games.
● Shopping. She scoffs at those who claim it’s not a hobby, citing that being able to spend hours at various malls and able to successfully haggle at independent stores should qualify it.
● Socializing. She’ll go to parties and mostly hang out by the food, chatting with those who come by, and keeping an eye out for anyone who seems to be having a bad time.

|| LIKES & DISLIKES ||

+ Water. It’s almost like she was made for it.
+ Chatting with people/social activities. Stereotypical, huh?
+ Fish. Both as pets and as food. Despite the biology errors in the film, she did like Finding Nemo.
+ Pastel colors. They’re just so pretty in her opinion, and easy on the eye.
+ Her sunglasses. Obviously.
+ Dresses. Easy to wear, easy to accessorize, and almost always look good. She blames social stereotypes for why more people don’t wear them all the time.
+ Audiobooks. Really good ones are great to fall asleep to.
+Waterproof makeup. Thank god for that invention.

- Baking. Despite her love for giving gifts, she is just terrible at it.
- Sparta. He always hisses at her.
- Being mocked, especially when it comes to her failures in depth perception. Not exactly something she can fix.
- Basic grammar and spelling mistakes, especially on professional items. Many a bakery she won’t return to because they couldn’t spell ‘congratulations’.

“Oh, please don’t be so cruel.”

|| FAMILY MEMBERS ||

Mother - Chika Cross - Cashier at a supermarket
Father - Silas G. Cross - Small Animal Veterinarian
Little brother - Nikolaos “Nikki” N. Cross - Will be entering 7th grade
Maine coon cat - Sparta - Sleeping on Nikki’s bed

|| HOUSE DESCRIPTION ||

The family lives in a simple two-story three-bedroom townhouse. Upon entering the first floor, there is a hallway that runs all the way back to the living room, and a door to your immediate left containing a small kitchen area, with a washer and dryer behind a large set of closet doors. The kitchen connects to the dining room, which connects to the living room. To the right upon entering the first floor is a stairwell heading up to the second floor. There is an open area at the top of the stairs, with five doors in a circular arrangement. Starting with the door closest to the top of the stairs, you have Nikolaos’ bedroom, Selene’s bedroom, the bathroom, her parents’ bedroom, and a linen closet. (Note: got layout from here) Selene’s mother favors wooden furniture, adding cushions where needed and knitting covers.

|| CAR DESCRIPTION ||

No car yet, but she’s got her eye on the Acura ILX models.

---

“You don’t have to be the bad guy.”

|| BIOGRAPHY ||

Selene doesn’t have much to say about her past. Sure, she got an eye infection when she was 4 that rendered her right eye useless and blind, and there were a few insensitive kids who bullied her over it. One of them was even her little brother - though he stopped picking on her once something similar happened to him. Thankfully, such incidents began to fade away as Selene progressed through elementary school. The summer after Selene finished elementary school, between her bullying and the desire for a shorter commute, the Cross family moved from St. Francis to Arrowsmith, South Dakota. Middle school was a bit of an adjustment for her, but she developed the strategy of gift-giving - and very few kids could turn down free cookies. Some resisted, but Selene just went to work figuring out what else she could give them. She joined the swimming team, but could not participate in competitions not held in a body of water or in the school’s pool due to her vision issues. The time spent waiting at those matches, she took upon herself to find new ways to amuse herself - photographing the swimmers, learning how to apply makeup, chatting with people.

Of course, she did manage to befriend some people - unfortunately, not everyone in her class applied for Arrowsmith High School, due to moving away or simply wishing for a more specialized high school or even some who have simply dropped contact altogether over the summer. She’s not worried, though - she’s fine making a new fresh start and doing well. Right now, her major goals are pretty simple, since she feels she knows who she is and what she’s going to do once she graduates - moving to the west coast, getting her own boat, and training to become an offshore saturation diver. For now, she feels she’ll be satisfied if she does well her freshman year and makes more friends.

Selene's relationships (WIP)

|| Wynona G. Belvue ||

"Wynona? Well, yes, I know her. We didn't exactly invite each other over to sleepovers in middle school, but we both know what we're doing in stores."
Wynona and Selene aren't exactly close friends. They just never had a strong connection click. They do, however, share a common love of fashion and outfits and enjoy shopping together. If a new line is released, these two will be the first ones to review it and let you know if it's amazing or awful.

|| Nathaniel Anderson ||

"Oh, yes, he was at the community pool this summer. We did some racing against each other and chatted a fair bit. I'm not sure if we are friends, but I do hope so."
Selene met Nathaniel at the community pool. While they aren't exactly close either, Selene remains friendly to Nathan in hopes of befriending him. If nothing else, though, she does consider him a good swim buddy, someone who makes the pool that much more interesting.

|| Ezera Porter ||

"Ah, EJ! He was one of the first people I met after I arrived in town. He can be a bit cheesy, but he's harmless. In fact, have you met him? Here, let me introduce you..."
Ezera and Selene met soon after her move into town, around the start of middle school. The two hit it off fantastically. Selene can't entirely say she's interested in Ezera as anything besides a good friend, but she is fond enough of him. His nickname for her, 'Shades', isn't exactly a favorite, but it's certainly not worth crying over, especially since he seems genuine in his kindness. Selene tries to act as Ezera's 'wingwoman', doing what she can to make sure no one walks away upset.

|| Amelia Rashfree ||

"Well, something happened to her. I can tell that much. She seems conflicted - maybe once we're true friends, she can tell me about it and I can help?"
Selene had heard a fair bit about Ezera's girlfriend, but only actually met her on the first day of school. She can tell Amelia's dealt with a lot and has become strong in her own way, but it's also left her blindsided to some of life's other experiences. For now, though, she's just focused on having a good time with Amelia and letting a friendship develop.
