& IN THE LIMELIGHT I PLAY IT OFF FINE BUT I CAN'T HANDLE IT WHEN I TURN OFF MY NIGHTLIGHT -----------------
TWENTY-TWO - THUNDER - COLLEGE GRAD - BIO
skye can be very judgmental, and tends to hold people to pretty high standards even though she knows that usually they will disappoint her because of this, but really, the standards are the same that she has for herself, so she thinks it's more than fair. it's very easy to annoy her but it's unlikely that she'll start fights or anything -- she likes to try to be cordial and polite. she can, however, be very spiteful when she thinks it's called for. she's not what most people would describe as being really mean or nasty, but most people also probably wouldn't call her nice, either. she's mostly just very aloof and comes off very indifferent and apathetic, but she's pretty opinionated. that said, she's more compassionate than she comes across, though she hasn't been above using her seniority (hell yeah for being one of the older college students) and kind-of-scary element to intimidate the young'ins around the academy in the past when she needed to. she's really not what i would call a bad person, but the alliances did really make her jaded, and her personality is typically cold and a little indifferent by nature. now that she's graduated (with a major in polisci and a minor in french), she has an apartment in town and works two jobs -- one working as an assistant to patricia dale, local member of parliament, and the other as a part-time assistant at the academy library, which is where academy students can probably most often run into her.
she always needs some of everything, so starting with FRIENDS would be good. it's hard to get past the wall that she's built up against people in general. if there are any older college students or people more around her age, they'll be the best bets for friendship. people need to be able to deal with her kind of aloof nature at first, but she really warms up around her closer friends, and (surprisingly) becomes very physically affectionate if she knows you'd put up with it. oh, and this should be typically fires, thunders, and winds. now that she's out of school, though, she may be a little easier to compromise with about alliances. ENEMIES will also be plenty, even though she isn't too confrontational. her personality is bound to annoy people, especially since yeah, she does tend to dislike people really easily. it'd be fun to see people pushing her buttons just because they can. (waters, looking at you.) as for ROMANCES, she's even harder to impress here than she is for her friends, and so you'd have to try really damn hard to get her attention. she's difficult that way. you're welcome to try, though, but don't be discouraged if it doesn't work out. if you have any other ideas, also feel free to fire away!

SANDRA HARU CHANG
PLEASE DON'T GO YOU NEED TO STAY SO MY LOVE FOR YOU CAN LAST AN ETERNITY MY BABY -----------------
EIGHTEEN - WATER - FRESHMAN - BIO
sandra is pretty easy to understand. she likes to be happy and she likes for other people to be happy, and that's actually kind of pretty much it. she's an eternal optimist, she's bubbly and carefree, and she's genuinely enamoured with life and the people around her. in those ways, she's pretty typical and cute and not very exciting, truth be told. she's really quirky, however -- she puts copious amounts of hot sauce on everything she eats, she naps like it's her career (not just her part-time job, nope), and she does remarkably well in school despite her laziness to do any work ever. she just thinks that people should live life to the fullest, and she does so, but mostly she just does whatever she wants, and that tends to be eating, sleeping, and going out with her friends. however, this is usually more along the lines of going to an amusement park or shopping or having a sleepover than it is about partying and drinking. she's ridiculously innocent and a little naive about the world at large, but she likes it that way.
she adores making, having, and talking to all her FRIENDS, and i imagine there'd be plenty of them among the waters, earths, and possibly winds. seriously, she just loves everyone. she's also big on physical affection, but more of the tackle-hug-glomp kind, and she tends to fall asleep on everyone's shoulder. she's pretty bad with this personal space thing -- be warned. trivial things like what grade you're in are pretty irrelevant. she'd love to befriend anyone. her closest would probably be the ones that are closer to her age, though. she doesn't like to make ENEMIES, but it's probably inevitable because she annoys people with the perpetual happiness. she also, because of some childhood memories, can't stand bullies -- and they tend to be the only people she gets snippy or anything remotely mean with. she avoids conflict, though, so these would have to be people who go out of their way to start something with her. and lastly, none need apply for ROMANCES, because she's perfectly content with her boyfriend, devin james thatcher. perhaps past crushes of hers (which would be fun if we wanted a past thread) or possibly current one-sided things, but she probably wouldn't even notice unless someone told her.

PACEY LUCAS BAEK
ONCE YOU FOLLOW ME YOU'LL FEEL THE BREEZE BLOW THE DRAMA RIGHT OFF YOUR SHOULDERS -----------------
SEVENTEEN - EARTH - TWELFTH GRADER - BIO
this baby face is pacey! he's cute and lovely and he swears he's not ten years old, regardless of what people would guess looking at him. he grew up with lots of money but also with a really good crowd of people around him, so he's always been kept fairly grounded -- as much as he possibly could be all things considered. he's a generally accepting person, willing to give pretty much everyone a chance, though admittedly he does hate snobs and pretentious people. he likes video games, shopping, and eating -- he can pack away food like it's crazy. he likes people and just hanging out, and he frequents the occasional party, but he actually still prefers just chilling with friends. he has a huge collection of sneakers and a much smaller one of bowties (the latter of which he doesn't often get to wear) and he likes dyeing his hair obnoxious colours because it's fun to keep people surprised. he's the typical nice guy, but he's really just very relaxed and not too fussed about anything at all.
he'd definitely need some FRIENDS, who'd mostly be earths, waters, and winds. he's easy to get along with because he's so relaxed and isn't concerned with much. with the amount of money he (his parents, really) has, he always has a wallet full of cash and will buy friends things for no reason whatsoever. actually, it's pretty easy to take advantage of him because of this and his own kindness, so there may be fake friends in here too since he never does seem to learn his lesson. that ties into ENEMIES too, though admittedly pacey doesn't make a very exciting enemy. he's a typical earth in that he's pacifistic, so it's not likely you'll get much of a fight out of him. you can try! people might hate him because he's a spoiled rich kid, or any reason under the sun. mostly he just hates pretentious and snobby people. fires and thunders are probably here by principle. as for ROMANCES, he's a real sucker for a pretty face and he develops crushes really easily, but luckily he also gets over them very easily. i like to make him moon over girls, so feel free to toss your females at him here! as for more serious things, i would adore if he got a girlfriend later, but if it doesn't happen that's okay too. he's a sweetheart with the girls he likes, though.

CAITLYN AUBREE SOMMERLOT
I DON'T CARE HOW FAR SOMEHOW I'LL BE STRONG I KNOW EVERY MILE WILL BE WORTH MY WHILE -----------------
TWENTY - EARTH - JUNIOR - BIO
caitlyn is generally quite nice and is happy to meet most people. she's a busy beaver, though. she rarely has any downtime and is almost always running around doing something or other. she hates being stagnant. she's currently studying forensic science at the academy, and plays alto saxophone in the academy's concert band. she kind of adores both science and music and is driven to succeed in both. on the side, she also teaches piano (so perhaps one of your characters, if anyone likes!) at the music store, and plays volleyball on a team in maple hollow. she has an apartment there, also. really, she doesn't have very much time, but when she does, she loves to hang around and just relax and take the time to talk to her friends, as rarely as she gets to do so. she tends to burn herself out because of all that she does, but she likes to keep things that way, and it's not likely that she'll stop anytime soon. she is, however, really nice and lovely, and if at all possible she'll drop everything for someone in need. she's really independent also, which unfortunately can make her sort of stubborn.
it's always tricky with FRIENDS because of how little time she has. she tends to be a little bit fickle in a sense -- her goals and ambitious tend to take priority over most friendships, which is unfortunate and entirely unintentional, but it happens and she's always upset when her relationships with people fall apart because of it. however, she makes a really good friend if you can deal with her not being around all the time, but it's always fun to see the occasional points of contention there. other than that, she's nice, loyal, and overall a good friend who'd go out of her way to help -- she just can't be around for all the little moments, so to speak. she also doesn't have much time for ENEMIES, so this is a pretty boring area. ex-friends are probably the best we can do here, since like i said she doesn't have much time for people and so it's entirely possible that it got too much for them. as for ROMANCES, she's got plans here, so this is all taken care of! she's probably had a few relationships in the past, so you can apply for that. the only serious one was her most recent, however, and that would have ended just a couple of months ago. if you have any guys that you want to throw in for past relationships, that could work.

LUCAS OLIVER GARROWAY
FOR A FIRST EFFORT THIS FEELS KINDA LAST DITCH I GUESS THIS JUST GOT KINDA DRASTIC -----------------
THIRTEEN - WIND - NINTH GRADER - BIO
lucas is a pretty normal kid. he likes to shirk schoolwork, so his teachers are very likely displeased with him for that, but he gets it done when he needs to. he gets okay-ish marks, anyway, and he manages to keep himself out of detention most of the time. okay, some of the time. in his spare time, though, he likes to play video games, go out, and hang with his friends. he's a pretty friendly, fun guy actually, and not bad to hang around just to chill for a bit. he likes basketball and swimming and what-not, too, and he's pretty much always up to hang out with someone instead of doing homework -- doing work when he doesn't have to is ridiculous. he's relatively easygoing and up for pretty much whatever a friend would like to do. he does, however, tend to be kind of self-involved, which can irritate people, and he's a short fuse in the sense that he's very quick to get angry or frustrated and start getting moody with people. jeez, pubescent teenagers. mostly this takes the form of rolling his eyes and generally giving attitude, but he'll rarely get scarily angry -- he just acts pissed off and what-not. it also tends to happen mostly with people who are being condescending, which will usually be those older than him, but it could be (less frequently) his peers too. other than that, thankfully, most of the time he's just a pleasant dude who likes to hang out and joke around.
his FRIENDS can probably be pretty plentiful, since he really is fun to be around assuming you're cool and not about to boss him around or act superior or what-not. anyone with any of the already-discussed hobbies (or other things that he would probably like to do, of course) can probably go in here. anyone with a good sense of humour would work, too. he's really very relaxed and not overly picky with his friends, honestly. (he is, however, a thirteen-year-old kid, which means that he tries to impress those kids who are older than him. up to them how well this works, teehee.) there are also going to be ENEMIES because the kid can be pretty relaxed, but he does have that temper that flares up occasionally. he hates people who are bossy or condescending... he doesn't know the word "condescending", but he does know the type and he hates it a lot. expect bad attitude from him if you're one of said people. on the flip side, people might also hate him, because his jokes can potentially be very insensitive -- it takes a relatively easygoing person who's difficult to offend, to deal with him. as for ROMANCES he's had "girlfriends" (heavy emphasis on quotation marks -- he didn't really know what a relationship was) in middle school and what-not so if you have someone within his age range that would be hilariously cute as a past thing. i also imagine there'd be a few girls now he might like, and possibly the reverse, which would be cute! but he's got time still to figure everything out, so this is pretty much open. i have nothing in particular in mind; let me hear any ideas for any of the above!
