<h3>twenty -- homosexual -- elite undergrad -- shanina shaik -- available</h3>
<img src="http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g232/closerpics/VH/064.png"> <img src="http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g232/closerpics/VH/064.png"></div>
<ol class="canondetails"><li> born and raised in London, England, with a family that had immigrated from the Punjab region of Pakistan three years before she was born. her family was comfortably situated, financially, since she was a child, but as she got older, her father's restaurant, offering Punjabi cuisine, expanded into a chain of restaurants in the United Kingdom and later the rest of Europe. by the time she was a teenager, they easily fell under the category of "wealthy", something CHAUDHARY took full advantage of from the start, with increasingly expensive habits and preferences in everything from clothes to pastimes.</li>
<li> her family was strongly patriarchal, but as her father's business started booming, he was no longer present enough to be the strong, stern father figure, and in his absence, CHAUDHARY rebelled fiercely, both against her parents, the culture they so adored, and their religion (Islam), wanting only to fit in with her English friends. this resulted in many a fierce argument with her father when he was home, not to mention desperate pleas from her mother, causing her to become very distanced from them, something she's been trying to remedy more recently. </li>
<li> stubborn as a mule (and then some), proud and often bordering on haughty, but through her teens fuelled by a relentless desire to fit in; she always paid close attention to what was in and what was not, both in fashion, music and pastimes, and threw money around like it was nothing to finance her perpetually in-style lifestyle, always hoping that it would help make her one of the gang, rather than, as she'd heard herself and her family-members referred to too many times, "some Paki". </li>
<li> she became more critical of her tendencies to follow after just starting Stanmer Park, after she fell in with a group of the heaviest partiers, went down a rocky path and made many decisions she later realized she couldn't in good conscience stand by. she decided to clean up her ways, and has since avoided what she considers too extreme and clashing with her moral beliefs, and focused more on what she thinks is important, rather than blindly following those around her.</li>
<li> despite her rebellion and constant criticism of her parents' tradition and values, she feels strong ties to the culture that she refuses to admit to. her faith is important to her and very strong (stronger in recent years), but not wanting to be singled out as a Muslim, she keeps it firmly to herself. she finds it difficult to keep quiet if she encounters any attacks on Islam, however, as she has an inherent desire to defend her religion, but the fear of how people would react most often scares her to silence. </li>
<li> she's an active member of the school's feminist society, urged to join by a friend, and has through this discovered a strong fondness for debating through the many discussions she's had over this topic - as well as others. her social awareness is strong and prominent, and she easily takes an interest in current affairs. she has, since starting Stanmer, developed an ever-increasing love of throwing herself into causes, and has made herself noticed both at debates and rallies.</li>
<li> she came to realize that she was homosexual in her teens, but never managed to completely come to terms with her sexuality. she's stayed away from women, romantically, and frequently dates men and begins innocent relationships that always end very quickly. she can't stand to deceive them, but feels that she has to, certain that coming out will sever the frail connection she has with her family, and cause them to freeze her out completely.</li>

<div class="canonname"><h2>[---] [---] MEDINA</h2>
<h3>nineteen -- heterosexual -- elite undergrad -- emanuela de paula -- available</h3>
<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v739/Fionnoula/RP/emanuela47.png"> <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v739/Fionnoula/RP/emanuela47.png"></div>
<ol class="canondetails"><li> born and raised in Hampstead, north west London. Her father was a Brazilian diplomat who took a position in London as a young man, and while there, met her mother, a well known model. Her father was moved to the USA for a while, but kept in contact with the young woman he had met, later returning to England to be with her. The two got married and had two children, a boy and a girl. MEDINA had a very settled and privileged childhood, with her mother only working on the occasional modelling project so she could be an almost full time parent to her two children.</li>
<li> Father was shot dead three years ago during an armed robbery at her family home. She was staying with a friend at the time, and couldn’t bring herself to return home for three months, instead moving in with her maternal grandparents. His death was made very public because of her mother’s position and MEDINA barely left her grandparents or turned on the TV for some weeks. Two notable times she ventured outside were for her father’s funeral and to attend the trail of the man who had shot him. The absence from school affected her studies, but she was able to re-take many of the major exams she missed, though it meant she was a year behind everyone else, and as such has only just started her undergraduate degree.</li>
<li> Always been seduced by the perceived glamour of her mother’s job and wishes to become a model herself but made a promise to her parents to at least get an undergraduate degree first. Her mother is vehemently against her daughter going into modelling and this has been the cause of many rows between them. </li>
<li> Something of a dreamer and has found the reality of modelling actually quite horrible, but after making such a fuss about it, doesn’t want to back out now. Has found that her mother‘s reputation helps her but still lost her virginity at eighteen to a much older photographer, who claimed he would help her career, which he did for a few weeks before moving onto the next hot young thing. Now rather regrets that decision, and being rather romantic, wishes she had waited until Prince Charming came along. Hasn’t slept with anyone else since, and is notoriously picky about who she dates, tries to ignore the ‘frigid’ barbs that are thrown her way. </li>
<li> Tries to be cold and cut throat, to fit in with how she perceives the modelling world, but lacks that killer instinct, being naturally warm, very empathic and friendly. Feels she has to act like a bitch around fellow models as they should be viewed as competition. She often gets emotional over the smallest of things, and takes criticism very hard, sinking very low after a rejection over a casting. Unlike some models, she hasn’t taken to drugs yet or developed an eating disorder, mainly thanks to her mother’s influence, however after a few brutal rejections has started to make herself throw up if she feels she’s eaten too much. Has a major sweet tooth though, which she tries to resist.</li>
<li> Naturally quite comfortable with her body, and while not a huge extrovert, she is out-going and doesn’t see a problem with flaunting what she’s got. This, coupled with the reputation she’s developed of being frigid, MEDINA is sometimes viewed as forbidden fruit, which has lead to a few slightly awkward situations at clubs and bars, but she has quickly learned to perfect the art of the quick escape when she feels things are heading in the wrong direction.</li>
<li> Isn’t really happy with her degree of Drama and Theatre Arts and wants to switch over to a language or politics degree but feels that her current degree would help her with her modelling. Speaks Portuguese and Spanish very well, and has developed an interest in her father's line of work, having started to read into more in the last few months.</li>

<div class="canonname"><h2>[---] [---] OSHIRO</h2>

<ol class="canondetails"><li>Born and raised in Xi'an, China; he never knew his father, and his mother OSHIRO (GL, professor) spent the better part of his childhood and teenage years preoccupied with studies and work, leaving him in the care of his grandfather or sitters. He spent most of his years growing up craving his mother's attention, which drove him to put in extra work at school in an attempt to impress her, but his efforts failed to draw her attention away from work.
</li><li>His mother found work in England (at Stanmer) when he was sixteen, and arranged a move from Xi'an to Brighton. The move uprooted his life, but also brought with it an increase in interest and involvement from his mother. Although OSHIRO appreciated, and appreciates, this effort, it still felt awkward to him; she was a stranger to him after all these years, and he wasn't sure how to approach her as a mother. Although their relationship has improved over the past five years, this hasn't changed a lot.
</li><li>Largely sacrificed his social life in favor of his schoolwork back home, and didn't experience what it was like to have an active social life until he got to England, when he was received with overwhelming interest and attention. He still finds this kind of attention odd, as he was never before shown much interest - romatically or otherwise - and doesn't realize that he could be attractive to other people.
</li><li>His grandfather's influence growing up has given him rather oldwordly tastes; suits, phonographs and polished suits are just his style, and he would wear a suit just about anywhere and everywhere, especially to lectures.
</li><li>Met LIAO shortly after starting at Stanmer, and gravitated to him due to their shared background in Xi'an. They discovered that there was more to it when they got to know each other, and initiated a romantic relationship that remained secret at LIAO's request. They ended the relationship after seven months, when OSHIRO was no longer willing to keep it a secret, while LIAO still insisted that they did. They remain good friends, but there is unresolved tension between them, and OSHIRO still has lingering feelings and wants him back.
</li><li>His previous experiences with being treated as invisible have made him extremely easy to charm and pick up today; when flirted with, he loses all critical sense, and has often gone as far as to immediately sleep with people he doesn't find personally or visually appealing - at all.
</li><li>His first language is Mandarin, and he is very self-conscious about his English. Although he knows the form of it very well and is fluent, he is worried about how other people will view his accent, and also has a tendency to speak much more formally than those of the same age as him.
</li><li>Plays the Pipa, a Chinese lute, something he took up when he left in an attempt to keep a connection with his culture. He often makes his friends sit down and listen to him play the Pipa and give him feedback, partly because he wants to know for sure if he's making progress, and partly because he feels growing pride at his ability to play.
</li><li>Has severe difficulty hiding emotions and reactions; if he feels something, it shows with every fragment of his body, and if he thinks something, he has to say it, which has resulted in quite a few regrettable situations in the past.</li></ol>


<div class="canonname"><h2>[---] [---] SAYER</h2>

<ol class="canondetails"><li> comes from the small village of Cynwyd in Wales, the only child of a factory worker and a midwife. his family has been troubled with financial problems for all his life, for periods of time resorting to a hand-to-mouth lifestyle, something he is intent not to have to do in his adult life.</li>
<li> grew up speaking mostly Welsh at home, and still favours the language, feeling that it comes more naturally to him than English.</li>
<li> originally went to Stanmer Park on a scholarship, but after taking up with one of Stanmer's more irresponsible crowds, he neglected school in favour of late nights and high alcohol consumption, and after one year, his grades no longer met scholarship requirements. unwilling to let their son lose his spot in the school, his parents pooled their assets and took up a loan in order to pay his tuition for another year.</li>
<li> his parents could only help him stay in school for one more year, the financial strain of which caused their economic situation to decline dramatically. the guilt of this rests heavily with SAYER, and he's taken many questionable routes - including prostitution, dealing recreational drugs on campus, various schemes and tricks, running any errands for the richer students that they can't or won't do themselves and writing papers for fellow students - in order to try to pay his parents back as well as keep paying his tuition, as school administration has decided that he can't get back the scholarship he squandered.</li>
<li> is in his third year of a degree in economy, management and engineering, but it's likely that it'll take him longer than the normal four years, as he also has to make up some classes from his first year. he's currently trying to keep his grades up, but with the extra workload that comes with taking on other students' work and performing other questionable activities for money, this is anything but easy, and is rapidly tiring him out.</li>
<li> is inclined towards irresponsible, selfish and reckless behaviour, but after his mistakes in his first year at Stanmer, is trying to be more responsible. however, his more recent behaviour has been more of the opposite, as he resorts to increasingly outlandish solutions to cover his expenses and debt.</li>
<li> a cynic at heart - largely due to his lot in life - and although he's always been an amicable man, his recent, and accumulating, troubles has caused his cynical side to blossom. it often makes him a difficult person to be around, as he doesn't lack wry or snide comments, and has become increasingly short and snappy with other people.</li>

<ol class="canondetails"><li> could very accurately be described as international : was, in fact, born in francophone Quebec City, Canada to a pair of recent Lebanese immigrants. both were university professors who'd fled Lebanon in the midst of its civil war. grew up over-hearing many more horror stories of warfare through the walls of his bedroom than any child ought to. </li>
<li> moved to Marseilles, France at the age of five, and his family has been on the go ever since. also lived with his parents in Seattle, Budapest, and Madrid before moving with them to London when he was seventeen, where they reside to this day.</li>
<li> because of the globe-trotting that categorized his youth, speaks five different languages fluently (English, French, Lebanese, Hungarian and Spanish) and is very much intrigued by various world cultures. is currently working on his degree in History and Modern Languages. Hopes to tackle Greek during his years at Stamner. </li>
<li> finds the people around him wildly fascinating, and views each and every one of them as a new, and terribly interesting individual. attempts to coax strangers into conversation on a regular basis in an attempt to learn more about them, and is usually successful in his endeavours. has learnt that people like to talk about themselves, and takes advantage of this knowledge.</li>
<li> considers those who grew up in sheltered environments to be of exceptional interest, since they're so very different from him. in particular, thinks BLACK is extremely attention-grabbing and makes efforts to win her over at least weekly. every attempt thus far has failed miserably, but he's far from ready to give up yet.</li>
<li> never wears matching socks, and doesn't even bother to put them away in pairs. the habit sparked from his mother constantly losing his socks in the wash, but has stayed with him, even now that he does his own laundry. </li>
<li> collects abacuses. has no real interest in mathematics, nor early counting devices, but finds them both odd and visually pleasing. currently owns sixteen and plans on garnering more.</li>

<ol class="canondetails"><li>Born one of a family of septuplets (seven children in one birth - only the second set ever in which all the children survived in the United States) in the city of Miami, Florida to a fast food restaurant chain owner and his wife. is the only child without a twin as six of her siblings are made up of two sets of triplets, one all girls and one all boys. </li><li>
Started her gossip site on the internet at age sixteen and was almost an immediate hit. feels a lot of dignity in what she does as she is considered reliable and trustworthy source. checks her facts and heavily applies her journalistic education to article writing and interviewing. the term 'gossip site' only applies because of its subject matter not because of its outrageous fabrications.</li> <li>
Self made elite - despite being born into a financially comfortable family that luckily had no struggles when it came to supporting themselves, there were few luxuries and not enough money to send all seven children to expensive universities. because of her enormous popularity she has surpassed her parents significantly in wealth and is currently paying for her own lifestyle and education as well as the college tuition of any of her siblings who wish to attend university (four out of seven including herself).</li><li class="inferred">
Vibrant, down to earth, individualistic, gregarious, opinionated, competitive </li><li>
Modern view of relationships - has a reputation for pursuing romantic partners that already have significant others and either agreeing to share them with their current lover or creating her own independent relationship without the knowledge of said lover. is a strong advocate of trinogamous relationships (three person) and has been in several of them before. doesn't believe that fidelity is completely necessary if all partners agree to it.</li><li class="inferred">
Applied for the master's program in journalism immediately after receiving her bachelor's degree but is taking only the minimum number of classes to stay enrolled, supposing that it will take her longer than a full time student to graduate with a masters because of her frequent absence from the campus. is frequently invited to celebrity exclusive events such as awards shows and premiers around the world for the publicity and rarely turns down a chance to attend. </li><li>
Has no desire to be a celebrity herself even though she is quickly becoming a very recognizable face and has been offered roles in both movies and television shows. finds everything about being famous undesirable from the lack of privacy to constant public scrutiny but understands that a certain price comes with her success and is grateful where it is due.</li><li>
Very capable of influencing the tide and turns of Hollywood - in February 2008 she called for the firing of a popular television actor because of his racist and homophobic remarks and urged her readers to do the same. four months later at the close of the season the ratings for the show had plummeted and the actor's character was murdered. however on a general basis, when not fighting for a cause, she is unafraid to call celebrities out on their bullshit whether friend, enemy, or acquaintance.</li><li class="inferred">
Never takes anything seriously, especially herself. ten years ago, when she was twelve, her uncle was placed in a mental institution by her parents because of his recent diagnosis by a psychiatrist of a delusional disorder, specifically because of the grandiose delusion that he was Alexander the Great. from that age until her move to Brighton, she spent almost every Saturday visiting him, often playing the role of Alexander's mother Olympias in his fantasies even though her parents constantly reprimanded her for 'encouraging' him. to this day she still regularly sends letters written in calligraphy (a skill she learned for this purpose alone) to his residence and addresses them to be received by Alexander III of Macedon. </li><li class>
The 'bad egg' to her parents and the 'idol' to her siblings - has always been somewhat of an outsider in her family. the black sheep that finds her own way. regardless of her parent's begrudging tolerance of her and her apparent failure in their eyes, her siblings adore her and will often bypass their parents for her opinion when asking for advice or settling disputes. </li><li>
A natural leader who loves to be in charge of any given situation. most people who are not pleased by her innate need to take the lead are put off by her even though she is efficient and accurate when completing tasks. tries not to be bossy but is usually too involved in getting the desired result from her work to notice that she can be.

<ol class="canondetails"><li> has never known or met her father, and doesn't even know his name. She was raised until she was twelve by her mother, an almost-famous Sandalwood cinema actress, in the city of Bangalore, India. Her first language is Kannada, from this region, and her English is accented with influences from this language, something she is rather proud of.</li>
<li> moved to the UK when she was twelve after her mother met and married an English Lord and widower with a love of Indian cinema that could only be surpassed by his love of SUKALI's mother. She was placed in a household with his two children, who showed nothing but disdain for their new step-sister, and SUKALI showed nothing but disdain back. Both her step-siblings are now students at Oxford, which made it important for SUKALI to stay as far away as possible from that school.</li>
<li> though she's very fond of her step-father, both she and her mother weren't well-received in the high society he belongs to, and SUKALI has developed a rather two-sided opinion of this society for that reason; while she holds a grudge for the lack of acceptance they showed them, she can't help her desire to gain this acceptance from them, and show that she deserves a place among the elite.</li>
<li> always lived in the shadow of her mother, the attention-craving diva, and was always eager to break out of this shadow and be noticed on her own; she craves the attention and adoration of others, and prefers charm and seduction to achieve it.</li>
<li> lives by her mother's mantra of "always have your best smile on your face; you never know who's watching", and seems perpetually warm and welcoming. She is actually very selective of her company, and puts the people she meets through various personal tests - that she of course doesn't inform them of - to see if they're interesting enough for her.</li>
<li> proud, elegant, poised, charming, cock-sure, manipulative and independent, and with every intention to make a name for herself. She is, however, very concerned with what kind of name she is making, and is very careful about what kind of reputation she encourages.</li>
<li> though she often has to compete with her mother for attention, she has unfaltering love for her and calls herself her biggest fan; owns every movie she was ever in, and regularly watches them. She has an overall fascination with cinema, and intends to one day enter into the industry - but on the directing side rather than as an actress.</li>

<ol class="canondetails"><li> a child of nobility, her father is a prominent politician with a seat in the house of Lords, while her mother passed away when she was a baby. she became her father's life and love from that moment on, and has always been closely watched and safely guarded, subjected to a sheltered and protected life that she always wanted to rebel against, but didn't for fear of hurting her beloved father - the person she respects the most.</li>
<li> she is very familiar with being in the public eye and under close scrutiny of those who inhabit her society, and so she has a very prim and proper way of carrying and handling herself in public - and very often in private too. </li>
<li> extremely afraid of appearing disorderly or making a fool of herself, she prefers to plan every encounter and event out before she takes any action, and often makes long lists closely detailing the chronological order of the next day's event before she goes to bed. she's easily rattled by situations that don't go as planned or spiral out of control, and it's in these situations that her near flawless exterior is most likely to falter and crack. </li>
<li> highly insecure when it comes to strangers; after a lifetime of being protected from anyone who might hurt her, she has adopted the belief that people actually <i>are</i> out to hurt her, and approaches every stranger with skepticism, especially if they're of lower standing in society than her. after all, if there's one thing a girl like her needs to protect herself from, it's those who would take advantage of her for her position in life.</li>
<li> a born rhetoric, she has great skills at phrasing herself eloquently and convincingly, often succeeding in putting a positive spin on most anything; growing up around politicians has taught her to defend her stance and person with well-placed words and accurately cued smiles, and it has often times been suggested that she's a politician in-the-making. she is not too keen on that idea, however; growing up in the field of politics, she's seen both the positive and the negative, and finds the field too cut-throat and cynical for her taste - exactly the kind of field where people will set out to hurt you. </li>
<li> poised, proper, fashionably elegant, guarded, mistrustful, but always hopeful that there is, somewhere, a silver lining; some slim hope in even the most hopeless cases. she doesn't easily express this hopeful side of herself, however, and prefers to come across as harshly realistic - or even cynical, if the situation requires it.</li>
<li> is a talented equestrian, and takes great joy from working with horses. she has been participating in horse shows since she was young, competing primarily in dressage, but she is also a capable cross-country and show jumper, and has more than once competed in eventing. she is the proud owner of a pureblood Trakehner that she uses in these competitions, a horse she spends most of her free time tending to. CONSTABLE has often referred to her as her most beloved, second only to her father.</li>
<li> is none too pleased about the alarming presence of scholarship students at Stanmer, and though she does her best to be polite towards everyone she meets, she assumes a stance of distrust towards these lower-class students.</li>

<ol class="canondetails"><li> began life in Derry, Northern Ireland, the only child of a catholic, Irish Nationalist couple. His father’s side were of German descent, his grandfather being the last one to live in Germany but the family were staunchly Irish in their outlook and attitudes. </li>
<li> the Troubles that had ripped apart the country were begin to calm down during his childhood, and while his parents supported a united Ireland, they didn’t particularly agree with the more extreme methods used by the IRA</li>
<li> his parents died when he was seven in a car crash, and claims not to remember them at all if he is ever questioned about the subject. In accordance with the wishes of his parents, he was sent to live in England with an aunt, his mother’s only sibling, who the family no longer talked to after she fell in love with and married an English man. The move caused more friction and dispute from both families, as it was felt he should stay in Ireland with one of his father’s siblings. However, his aunt and uncle were very rich, and unable to have children, so they doted on DIETRICH, and catered to his every whim.</li>
<li> to begin with he was very unhappy in England, and though too young to fully understand all the political implications, had an innate dislike of anyone English. He was often in fights and was something of a wild child until he was half way through high school and settled into a more relaxed group of friends. Remains fiercely proud and defensive of his Irish roots.</li>
<li> quite a friendly, relaxed guy, isn’t really stirred into action by many things and has a rather laid back approach to life. He suffers from a severe case of only child syndrome, and is prone to eccentric behaviour merely for the attention it brings him. Can be quite snobby and isn’t particularly pleased about the scholarship students turning up but doesn’t care enough about it to do more than occasionally complain.</li>
<li> has an abiding passion for fast cars and gadgets of any kind. He breaks through his usual slightly lazy approach to life when it comes to staying up to date with the latest and the best phones, computers and whatever else takes his fancy. Has a taste for vintage cars, but mostly keeps them with his aunt, and occasionally driving one up to school to show off.</li>
<li> Is quite happy to carry on studying at Stanmer for years to come. He completed his undergraduate and master’s degree in Engineering Sciences there, before taking an eventful year off to travel with an group of friends. Narrowly avoided a few tricky situations with the law in various countries, but returned the England mostly unscathed. Picked up his studies again, and began a PhD, completely funded by his aunt.</li>

<li> panic stricken about her new life - has never had anything less than the finest clothes, jewelry, and cars and now has no idea how to handle herself. the worst experience of her life was rubbing shoulders with the homeless in the waiting line at the local soup kitchen for food.</li>
<li> was kicked out of her parent's house upon the family finding a cheap apartment to rebuild their lives. being the oldest of four children and the only one of working age she was told it was time for her to strike out on her own and build her empire without the aid of her family. </li>
<li> on the verge of being forced to drop out of school at the end of the current year because of an inability to pay the remainder of her tuition. fears for her future without the support of an upper level degree despite the fact that she only enrolled in a university because it was vital that she prove herself not only rich and beautiful but intelligent as well. she is worried about the now very real possibility that she could end up being what her mother jokingly warned her she might be if she did not attend school - a dishwasher in a run down bar.</li>
<li> doesn't want to see any of her old friends, especially DE ROUX, because of the humiliation she knows she'll endure due to her recent demotion in class. is well aware that they would only come to see the former wealthiest of them all scrubbing a pub floor in patched jeans. especially since she was more often than not the ring leader when torturing the plebeians.</li>
<li> proud, bitter, pretentious, heartless, in denial</li>
<li> technically is betrothed to WYATT, the son of her Father's oldest friend and business partner. soon after she was born the two families agreed to consolidate their power and money in a marriage of their eldest children, a normal occurrence in their blue blooded society to ensure that none of their sons or daughters wed people 'beneath' them. she is resigned to the idea that she is expected to marry WYATT one day but over the years has formed a rather apathetic opinion of him - finds him quite bland to be honest and does not expect their union to be anything but unremarkable. now that she and her family are broke there is even more pressure for him to propose even though she insists that she is not ready to be married. her parents demand that she be grateful he is still willing to save her from poverty even though her 'dowry' is virtually worthless.</li>
<li> attempted to find a job with a decent salary through any of her Father's connections and was rejected from each and every one of them on the grounds that she was either overqualified for the positions available or they laughed in her face when she informed them that she and her entire family were penniless. but people she had considered extensions of her own family and are well aware of her situation pretend that they never knew her. her financial situation is no better than it was before but she has learned a valuable lesson - the people she loved, only loved her money.</li>
<li>does not like to be touched or shown excessive affection - has a hard time doing something as simple as shaking hands with anyone she is not close to. especially doesn't like having her personal space invaded by someone she considers to be ugly, uncouth, low income, stupid, or fat.</li>
<li>prejudiced against the poor working class although she is now one of them. still has not accepted that she will most likely never reach the height she fell from and is desperately searching for a way to get there again through any means necessary. holds her head just as high as before to the disgruntlement of her co workers and acquaintances who find her pathetic for not living in reality.</li>

<div class="canonname"><h2>[---] [---] COGHLAN</h2>
<h3>twenty-one -- homosexual -- scholarship undergrad -- jeremy young -- available</h3>
<img src="http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g232/closerpics/VH/puqqewy.png"> <img src="http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g232/closerpics/VH/puqqewy.png"></div>
<ol class="canondetails"><li> grew up in Limerick, Ireland under the care of a single mother working two jobs. the two lived alone until COGHLAN was nine, when SIMPKIN and her father joined the household, after the father and COGHLAN's mother had started a romantic relationship. they later married, and COGHLAN always considered SIMPKIN to be his sister, having always wanted a sibling.</li>
<li> was a premature baby born with a congenital heart defect (aortic stenosis), the treatment for which brought him through several surgeries in his childhood years, effectively cleaning out the money from his late father's life insurance. the condition still requires him to regularly see a cardiologist, something he outwardly treats almost flippantly, though he inwardly takes the condition very seriously.</li>
<li> was something of a childhood hustler; starting when he was twelve, he would play the part of the sidewalk hustler, employing classic tricks such as 'find the ball under the cup' and 'locate the queen in these three cards', always using SIMPKIN as his sidekick. the pair were highly transparent, but also highly entertaining due to their enthusiasm and acting skills, and would often draw a crowd, sparking COGHLAN's love of performing.</li>
<li> is doing a degree in drama and theatre arts, and has a profound love of all aspects of this: watching, performing and directing, though the finer details of production can usually only hold his attentions for so long. he has developed a growing love of directing as he's been doing his degree, however, as he quite likes being the head of a production and calling the shots, and can, in turn, be quite difficult when it comes to following orders and directions.</li>
<li> lively, enthusiastic, humorous and vivacious, and always sets out to involve the people around him in whatever he has going. he enjoys setting up impromptu mini-productions around school, which he always attempts to involve whatever spectators there might be in.</li>
<li> he often employs a darker type of humour that isn't always situation-appropriate or crosses the border into mockery; despite his friendliness and outgoing ways, he is hardly the most tactful of persons, and has stepped on more than a few toes in his twenty-one years of life.</li>
<li> discovered he was homosexual in his early teens, when he fell madly in love with one of his good friends. the crush lasted about a week, and since, he has perfected the art of short-term infatuations that he swears are love. he has been in very few actual relationships, none of which have been particularly long, as he always finds some reason to move on from them before much time has passed.</li>

<img src="http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff128/LuxuryForExiles/icons/508.png"> <img src="http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff128/LuxuryForExiles/icons/508.png"></div>
<ol class="canondetails"><li> a native of Xi'an, China, he grew up in a very strict household as the older of two children, and the only boy. Treated as the favorite from day one, he also had a severe weight on his shoulders, always pressured to make his family proud, and to carry on the family line. </li>
<li> discovered that he was a homosexual when he was in his early teens, and has since been very secretive about it and disappointed in himself, knowing how his family would react, and thinking that he's letting them down. Though he finds women fascinating as aesthetic objects, he has no sexual interest in them, a conclusion he has come to after many frustrating attempts to make himself like women, in order to fit in with the image of himself projected by his family.</li>
<li> made the choice to study abroad at Stanmer at eighteen, when he felt that he could no longer live under the watchful eyes of his family and still keep his secret. Even after moving to Brighton, though, he still feels that it's a secret that he has to keep, and although he feels no need to still pretend to be straight, he still makes an attempt to be interested when approached by a woman - to no avail.</li>
<li> has only ever been with one man: OSHIRO (JY), who he met shortly after coming to Stanmer and gravitated towards due to their shared background in Xi'an, and slowly fell for. The two initiated a secret romantic relationship that lasted for seven months, until OSHIRO decided that he could no longer keep their relationship a secret, but LIAO was still unwilling to make it public. They remain good friends, despite the tension between them, but LIAO still has lingering feelings for OSHIRO and wants him back, but can't bring himself to admit it.</li>
<li> has a very large and growing collection of anime and manga, one of his greatest interests and loves. He has a habit of absent-mindedly sketching or doodling small manga or anime-inspired images in notebooks and on pieces of paper when he's bored or otherwise distracted.</li>
<li> is a part of the bachelor program in Illustration, and is strongly interested in all things related to illustration. His primary interest, however, lies in the illustration of manga, and he wishes to one day be a manga sketcher and colorist.</li>
<li> he's not the type to demand or even desire unlimited attention or masses of friends; he's perfectly happy with a small circle of friends, and fine with not branching out.</li>
<li> a notorious trickster, he loves teasing people with little pranks that have the best of intentions, such as placing plastic spiders on the pillow of someone who has admitted to having a slight fear of spiders, or setting a known metal music hater's mobile ringtone to the blackest metal he can get his hands on. He never means harm with any of his trickery, but has been known to aggravate a few people.</li>
<li> never learned to swim, and is terrified of water. He developed a strong hatred of VANDERHEIN after he once pushed him into water when he (VANDERHEIN) was drunk, and though LIAO wasn't in the water for very long, it is likely that he would have drowned if it hadn't been for a good Samaritan who happened by as it happened and saw LIAO struggling in the water.</li>

<div class="canonname"><h2>[---] [---] SIMMONS</h2>

<img src="http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m318/Pamelaaaaaa/cgeiuem.png"> <img src="http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m318/Pamelaaaaaa/cgeiuem.png"></div>
<ol class="canondetails"><li> grew up in small-town Nebraska in the company of her father, Dave, a plumber, her short-order cook aunt Lucille, and Buddy, their lovingly nick-named trailer. was, in fact, what unkind people might refer to as, “trailer trash”, although you’d never guess it. </li>
<li> from a young age, she refused to allow herself to be judged by her Winnebago. attempted to suppress her rough-and-tumble up-bringing (though not always successfully) and took great pains to appear as neat, tidy, and altogether wholesome, as possible. when approached by her father about this, firmly maintains that this was what her mother would’ve wanted, which, she believes, satisfies him well enough. has been told by her father that her mother died in a car accident involving a drunk driver when she was five years old. this is only a half-truth, since her mother did die in such an accident, although she was the drunk driver : a fact that her father has no interest in disclosing.</li>
<li> it was shortly after her mother’s death that her aunt Lucille moved in with them, bringing along with her much better – but much greasier – food, as well as four budgies. it is because of these pets and their incessant racket that SIMMONS now despises budgies and cringes at the very mention of them. </li>
<li> was always quite athletic, and played on many sports teams throughout her education. her particular talent for basketball, coupled with her diligence in academia, led her to earn an athletic scholarship to Stamner Park. a veritable sports enthusiast, she currently plays on three teams, and captains the women’s basketball team. has a nasty habit of showing off her talents, particularly in front of boys – not for flirtatious reasons, but simply because she can. </li>
<li> despite her seemingly open and affable personality, is actually quite secretive of her personal life : is friendly, but only to a certain point. refuses to disclose information about her innermost feelings, as well as her background, and becomes very irritated and sharp when people press the matter. best friend and fellow prankster extraordinaire, SLATER, whom she met her first week at Stanmer, is one of the few who can claim to truly know her well. </li>
<li> is a complete and utter movie buff : currently is in the possession of three hundred and sixty-three movies (not counting the odd dozen she has at home) of various genres and ages. has an immense soft spot for old Westerns, a love which she shares with her father, and attempts to impart unto others. </li>
<li> has a surprisingly uncharacteristic – yet still exceedingly large – collection of stuffed animals. it began with a stuffed lion she christened Schwartz, which she received as a very young child. since then, the collection, as well as her attachment to it, has grown immensely, and she can’t bear to leave any behind at home during the school year. </li>

<ol class="canondetails"><li> born in Limerick, Ireland, and lived alone with her working-class father between the time her mother left them when she was two, and the time they moved in with COGHLAN and his mother when she was seven. she has not seen her mother since she left, and claims that she had all the family she needed in her father, COGHLAN and his mother, though she has always been curious about her birth-mother.</li>
<li> was a precocious child who would amuse adults with her mature ways, especially in her childhood work as a sidewalk con-artist along with her step-brother COGHLAN, where they would attempt classic tricks such as 'find the ball under the cup' and 'locate the queen in these three cards'. they were highly transparent, but were nonetheless a bit of a local hit, simply because they were very entertaining.</li>
<li> is and always was extremely protective of COGHLAN, who she always regarded as an older brother, but treats like a younger brother. she has been known to cross the border into over-protective, and will instantly get in the faces of anyone who causes him grief, or give third degrees to any boy he finds interesting.</li>
<li> has a natural knack for performing, and is doing a degree in drama and theatre arts, with great plans of one day becoming a stage actress. she has little interest in movies, and always insists that theatre is the superior form of performance.</li>
<li> negative and temperamental, with a cynical disposition and a natural inclination towards immediate judgment of her fellow man. she is prone to scoffing and sneering, but is nonetheless astute in her observations, and far from dim-witted - even if she chooses to see the negative in any situation.</li>
<li> enjoys assuming a persona different than her own when out and about, especially on the rare occasions she spends time in a bar or club. she often makes up elaborate back-stories for herself before going out, and never drops out of character in the course of a night - even if she's found out.</li>
<li> has been accused of being indifferent and self-serving, which is only true to some extent; she is, in fact, mostly indifferent to the problems of strangers, but is also extremely involved in the problems of those she holds dear, often to the extent that she becomes nosy and over-involved.</li>

<div class="canonname"><h2>[---] [---] SLATER</h2>

<ol class="canondetails"><li> spent most of his childhood frolicking around the former homes and forgotten habitations of The Beatles, seeing as he was born to a working class couple in Livepool : his father was a postman, and his mother a florist. the pair were honest and diligent, if only a little bit simple, but they loved their son whole-heartedly and cared for him as best as they could.</li>
<li> while nothing less than respectful of his parents' humble stature, SLATER knew he wanted more than this. even when he was very young, found himself dreaming of bigger and better, in all respects - knowledge, power, don't forget the wealth. wouldn't dream of mentioning it, but is mildly jealous of those born into such stature, without having to work for it. also wouldn't mention this, but he harbours a quiet hope that in attaining this, he can somehow give back to his parents. </li>
<li> throughout his schooling to date, has lived on what he jokingly refers to as a veritable regiment consisting of blood, sweat and tears. in fact, worked very hard and in doing so, earned himself a scholarship to Stanmer, where he is currently studying Journalism.</li>
<li> has an immense love of sunglasses, and is an enthuasiastic collector of them. currently owns one hundred and seventeen pairs - and counting - of all different shapes, sizes, and colours. his favourites ? Ray-Bans : ubiquitous, yes, but also, he believes, undeniably cool.</li>
<li> masks his pride, his obstinacy, and his general tendency to stay set in his ways, with wide grins and a generally amicable demeanor. similarly, disguises his often disdainful nature by aiming this scorn toward majorities others might deem to also be dubious, namely, the elite and the powerful in many a domain.</li>
<li> met best friend SIMMONS (ET) his first week at Stanmer, and the two hit it off straight away. mutual sentiments of loyalty and ambition solidified a friendship that begin with similar senses of humour and affinities toward jibes and banter. since then, the two have put their mischievous minds together many a time to produce and enforce a wide assortment of pranks on the elite students of Stanmer with military precision. </li>
<li> a true music aficionado, he is able to appreciate a large variety of musical styles, despite his inability to play or create any by himself. because of this, as well as his affable, yet snarky nature, he felt compelled to join Stanmer Park's radio during his first semester at the school. loved the experience, and has remained a devoted DJ there to this day.</li>

<div class="canonname"><h2>ALEXANDER CECIL WYATT</h2>
<h3>twenty-seven -- heterosexual -- elite postgrad -- hugh dancy -- taken</h3>
<img src="http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff128/LuxuryForExiles/icons/hugh22.png"> <img src="http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff128/LuxuryForExiles/icons/hugh22.png"></div>
<ol class="canondetails"><li> born to a software tycoon and his wife who had built their company upwards from a dingy ground floor apartment to one of the tallest skyscrapers in Britain. lived, along with his younger sister, in a large mansion in London until he was five years old when his Father died suddenly of a heart attack. soon after, he and his sister were taken out of his Mother's care by his maternal grandparents so she may deal with her grief without the burden of two young children and moved into Waverly, a seventeenth century castle in the English countryside that had belonged to generations of his mother's family.</li>
<li> because of the castle's isolation from the rest of the public, WYATT grew up only in the company of the staff employed by his grandparents and his family and through that segregation he was influenced by no one other than these people. all social behavior and education for him and his sister were provided through his extremely old fashioned grandparents. the few parties a year that were held at Waverly and occasional trips to a small town nearby for groceries are the only real contact he had with the outside world before enrolling in Stanmer when he was seventeen.</li>
<li> had something of a culture shock when he was encouraged to go to college by his grandfather - who to this day happily pays for his tuition as well as any other expenses that are required to maintain his grandson's desires. expected that he would become the master of the castle once his grandfather passed away and was not expecting to ever have to leave it, nor did he want to. but once his high school education was completed his grandparents were adamant that he continue on in his studies because it pleased them to see him succeed. this year will be his final year at Stanmer as he completes a medical degree.</li>
<li> tries to settle all disputes in an honorable manner - once challenged another man who had been disrespecting his younger sister to a duel and then had a fist fight with him outside a holiday party at his family's manor. physical fighting is always a last resort in his opinion, as a gentleman always attempts to come to a peaceable solution through polite negotiation but no matter how it's handled a lady is never to be disgraced in his presence. much prefers conflict to be resolved through discussion than through any other outlet but has been instructed in the art of boxing for those few occasions when talking won't do the trick.</li>
<li> shortly after his birth he was betrothed to REXROTH by his parents who shared close friendships and business ventures in several areas with her parents. the match was technically one of convenience but also one that would consolidate the funds of two families who ranked in the top ten wealthiest in the world. after his Father's death WYATT saw her only once a year at the annual Christmas party at Waverly but the pair never formed a close friendship, just a comforting familiarity with each other's company. he, although he knows of her recent bankruptcy, is not sure that he is ready to settle down but the right words from his grandfather could change his mind all together.</li>
<li> believes in duty and strong moral fiber - because he was raised by his deeply religious grandparents he is very concerned with what is right and what is wrong and was told to find guidance and direction through intense study of the Bible. through this study he has become rigidly conservative and intolerant by today's standards although that's not to say that he doesn't make his own mistakes.</li>
<li> seems to be a cold and aloof man with a large sense of personal pride that often leads others to believe he is arrogant. has impeccable manners and always exercizes them when in public but he has a clear disdain for people who are not of the upper class despite the fact that he is never, ever outwardly rude towards them. privately his closest friends know him to be generous and family oriented with a special weakness for his younger sister and any of the very few romantic interests that he entertains. is especially lenient towards their opinion and wishes and if it doesn't offend any of his own values he is likely to do exactly what they want even if he won't say so.</li>
<li> speaks very formally in a way most people would describe as 'Old Worldly.' always addresses people older than him with titles of respect such as 'yes ma'am' or 'no sir' and has been known to use the words 'shall', 'thy', and 'hither' in everyday conversation.</li>

<ol class="canondetails"><li> notoriously underdressed, simple of appearance, laid-back of demeanour, rides a bike everywhere and can often be seen simply laying in the grass, usually with his head under a newspaper; he might be the last person you'd expect to see among the elite, but his family is actually among the richest in England, and of great regard in high society.</li>
<li> grew up surrounded by household staff, waited on at every turn, and always knew to take full advantage of it (and still does), but through the years perfected the art of appearing grateful. He never had a reputation for being a good boy among the staff, however; although his please's and thank you's were frequent and courteous, AUTENBERRY's favorite pastime was playing tricks, sometimes cruel, sometimes just obnoxious, on the staff - something his parents never corrected him for.</li>
<li> was the only child of a busy and professional father who had a tendency to be overly-lenient with his only son, and a doting, but rather absent and ditzy, mother who could see nothing wrong in him; they were loving parents, albeit it lacking in discipline and often in presence, but were the outcome of a marriage of convenience. Though they were always courteous toward each other, AUTENBERRY noticed the gap between them from an early age; they didn't even sleep in the same room for most of his life. AUTENBERRY is still adamant that he will never spend his life like that - he would rather live with beloved friends or even alone than with a spouse that is a stranger.</li>
<li> best friend of MARKOVIĆ since childhood; their mothers were, and are, close friends, and ever since they could walk, the two would wander off together at social events to go on tours of exploration, during which AUTENBERRY would often land them in trouble with his inquisitive ways - a tendency he still carries on with. There is little AUTENBERRY wouldn't do for MARKOVIĆ; he's even been his personal cheerleader at his polo matches since the day he started playing the sport.</li>
<li> a social elitist who shows great disregard for those of lower standing than him, especially the Stanmer scholarship students; he's mostly not concerned with their existence and prefers to ignore it, but when he does pay any notice to them, it is usually in the form of bullying he playfully chooses to classify as 'light teasing' - but he knows it's anything but.</li>
<li> nothing if not confident, in fact a bit cocky, and has the means to back a lot of it up; he's an astute young man who continues to show academic promise, is outgoing and witty and has a certain way with words, but his confidence still far exceeds his ability at times.</li>
<li> has been criticized for being flippant and careless, which is more than a little true. He has little will to put effort into most anything, and the only reason he has continued onto graduate studies is because he quite likes the student lifestyle, and because he couldn't think of anything else he wanted to do.</li>

<ol class="canondetails"><li> curiously unlucky - has notoriously bad fortune with everything he comes into contact with. has a permanent reservation in the Brighton hospital after a car accident, a fall out of a tree house, a fight (that he had no hand in starting, he had been a bystander of the innocent kind), third degree burns, and several other accidents too painful to mention.</li>
<li> grew up dirt poor - was the kid wearing the same old jacket and torn shoes for three years in a row. worked hard in school and forgot any attempts to have a social life in favor of getting a scholarship into a good college. is the first of his family to achieve a degree.</li>
<li> is a rampant Star Trek fan and goes to every convention that he is able to get to. also collects comic books and has several extremely valuable ones - ones that could be sold for an extraordinary amount of money if persuaded. the thought is highly unrealistic though as they are part of his most valuable possessions. is often tormented about this by good friend COLLINS, but is seemingly oblivious to her frequent quips about his beloved hobby.</li>
<li> is deathly allergic to peanuts - got a packet of them once on a red eye flight from Miami to Chicago for a convention and had his throat close completely. was only saved because a stewardess on the flight had the same allergy and injected him with her medicine.</li>
<li> an every man who considers himself ordinary in every respect. too kind for his own good although generally considered a charming guy and finds it difficult to say no to anyone, both friends and enemies included.</li>
<li> however, has a very dark, twisted sense of humor and is infatuated with the macabre. researches serial killers and horrific accidents in his free time and has never written a short story that did not end in an ironically violent way. was recommended by one of his professors to the campus therapist after disturbing a number of classmates with an especially brutal story. would be disturbed by his fascination if he wasn't so involved in it.</li>
<li> a completely different man when he has been drinking - and frequently does when he is writing. becomes moody, quick to anger, wild, and borderline suicidal. never remembers his behavior the morning after and is always confused when friends or family are scared or furious with him when he attempts to contact them. once incurred the wrath and continuing hatred of LIAO when he pushed him in the water while drunk; VANDERHEIN, however, does not remember the incident.</li>
<li> traditional when it comes to the ways women are meant to be treated by men and does his best to uphold that. believes in the friends - crushes - romantic partners cycle and doesn't like to rush it when it comes to relationships. never loses control, an almost irritating trait when the situation calls for it. sometimes makes him seem like he just doesn't care when he actually cares more than anything.</li>

<ol class="canondetails"><li> spent her very first night far from home when she arrived at Stanmer Park. until then, had lived in Dublin Ireland with her parents, a pair of very protective urban planners, and her younger brother.</li>
<li> was very sheltered by her parents as a child, which oft led to her becoming very frustrated, when she wasn't permitted to engage in all the activities she might've liked too. poky as a puppy, and curious as can be, she longed to see it all, to do more, and sought appeasement in books. found herself welcoming the other worlds they allowed her access to with open arms, and thus immersed herself in them.</li>
<li> though she's gleaned considerably more freedom since her younger years, her love for literature hasn't dwindled. has nearly made herself her own private library in her dorm room at Stanmer. has not only lined every shelf with books, but her floor is quite nearly covered with thigh-high stacks of books of all kinds. has yet to read all of these, but swears she will by the time she's turned fifty. was inspired by this love to one day become a published poet. holds this aspiration very dearly, and is therefore tickled pink to be in Stanmer Park's Creative Writing programme.</li>
<li> warm and friendly, though not exceedingly outright about it. generally tends to need to be the one approached when with others, but when this happens, she brightens nearly instantaneously and becomes fresh as a daisy and talkative as any other Chatty Kathy out there.</li>
<li> was introduced to the occult in high school by some seedy superiors, and did not take much away from the knowledge they imparted unto her. was, however, left with a sparked curiosity with regards to tarot cards. since then, has learnt to read them and considers herself to be moderately good at it. doesn't broadcast this to people, but never declines a request for a reading either.</li>
<li> could best be described as hopeful and trusting : most always prefers to give people the benefit of the doubt, and often finds herself being had because of this. despite this, is quite prone to somewhat catty jealousy when it comes to those she's close to. is displeased with herself for this and makes a great effort to temper this sentiment, but still experiences difficulty in doing so.</li>
<li> a very consistent gum-chewer. at any given time, will have at least two different varieties of bubblegum on her person, her favourite being sour raspberry, but strawberry being a suitable alternative. while not ostentatious about her chewing, still feels the need to chew discretely, claiming this helps her to concentrate.</li>

<ol class="canondetails"><li> only child of a renowned, talented and highly eccentric classical musician and his strict socialite wife, the latter a member of a well-respected English upper-class family with military ties. his mother served as the head of the household, with constant criticism of MARKOVIĆ's absent-minded father, who she always claimed had been an unfit match for her. MARKOVIĆ was always more fond of his mother, and over the years adopted her critical opinions of his fater, despite retaining a great deal of affection for the man.</li>
<li> is often on the receiving end of his mother's criticism, and always tries to live up to her demands and expectations. he has the highest regard for his mother, and is almost afraid of disappointing her, which has lead him to always pursue the paths she wanted him to. he considered joining the military when he was younger, but due to his mother's ill feelings towards this carreer path after a lifetime of subjection to it, he opted for her suggestions instead, and chose to go to university. he remains there still because it is her wish that he get a proper education.</li>
<li> extremely critical of his fellow man, especially those of lesser means, and only rarely comes across anyone new he feels he can tolerate - liking people is even rarer, as he has a tendency to actively seek out people's flaws, and then solely focus on these. he is also vocal with his criticism, much like his mother, and has trouble holding back once he feels he has something worth saying about another person - and he feels that most things he has to say are worth saying.</li>
<li> best friend of AUTENBERRY since childhood through mothers who were extremely close. MARKOVIĆ would often serve as a more calm and careful counterpart to AUTENBERRY, but nonetheless has gone along with almost everything he's suggested, often landing himself in a world of trouble, which he then usually trusts AUTENBERRY to get them out of, as he himself often has trouble dealing with unforeseen problems, and is only spontaneous through his friend's influence.</li>
<li> is a stickler for order, hygiene and good appearance, and has an almost military daily routine that leaves his room and himself tidy and in tip-top shape. he is rarely seen wearing anything other than a suit, even in the most informal situations, and often criticizes his friend AUTENBERRY for not applying the same measure - though he quite admires that he doesn't.</li>
<li> considers the influx of scholarship students to Stanmer to be a disgrace, and has often taken it upon himself to discuss this problem with various lecturers or administrative workers at the school. as this has been very unsuccessful, he's also been active in coming up with ways of excluding scholarship students as best he can, like promoting the practice of costly school-related events.</li>
<li> is an avid polo fan and an active polo-player, as well as a talented equestrian. he is extremely serious about the sport, and is known to get very involved in competition, almost to the extent of the extreme. </li>

<ol class="canondetails"><li> grew up in Worthing, in a quaint home by the sea, as the only daughter of a female heart surgeon and a male nurse. was taught by her parents from the time she was very young not to discriminate against others, nor to mindlessly accept society's stereotypes.</li>
<li> as a child, struggled to fit in with others, wanting not to be either a rambunctious tomboy, nor a docile girly-girl, but instead to lie at a happy medium in between them. had few friends because of this, but the ones she had, she was very close with, and frankly she preferred it that way - a trait which she carries still today.</li>
<li> has spent much of her life thus far taking apart various household items, from ball point pens to toasters, then poking around in their various components, only to put them back together again, slightly differently from how they were originally, in an attempt to make them function more effectively. this works out quite well half the time, and essentially destroys the item the other half. this kind of activity led her to find her true passion in life : pure physics. is currently working on her master's in this field.</li>
<li> headstrong and highly opinionated, she's a girl who, whether the matter at hand is her way of solving for sound intensity, or how many times you've worn your purple cardigan in the past month, will stick to her guns, no matter what. hopelessly stubborn, and extremely proud, she hates to admit she's wrong about anything, and prefers to change topic entirely rather than verbally own up to her mistakes.</li>
<li> has an absurdly large collection of Post-It notes in myriad colours, shapes and sizes. writes herself them for absolutely everything, and sticks them here, there, and everywhere. for example, wakes up to find a green arrow by her bedside reminding her to read pages 30-42 of her English book, and an orange star on her headboard telling her that she has to replace her toothbrush in precisely 17 days.</li>
<li> long-time friend of VANDERHEIN, and frequently teases him about his love of Star Trek. secretly quite enjoy it herself, and actually has quite the crush on a young William Shatner, not that she'd admit it.</li>
<li> fascinated by the study of dreams, and has been researching this subject thoroughly for many years. takes great pleasure in analyzing her own, and regularly attempts to coax friends into allowing her to do the same for them. also owns six different dream catchers, each one with different coloured beads, for different kinds of dreams.</li>
<li> has an almost irrational fear of fire, and refuses to go near it, in any way, shape or form. insists on unplugging any and all electronic devices when they aren't in use, just in case they should happen to short-circuit and catch fire somehow, and will not even strike a match or light a candle. the cause of this phobia is entirely unknown, even to her.</li>
