Character Profiles

Shout out to Kvothebr for the suggestion on this section, hopefully it gives people a bit of reference moving forwards. I'm starting out with the four leads and I'm going to be updating this as I go, so let me know if there's any particular character you want to see added first. I decided to write their Bios from each of the character's perspectives, since I have a lot of fun with that in the story, and I think it helps get their personalities across a bit better. I also included the photos I used as a design basis when coming up with them. Hope you enjoy!

Age: 18

"What to say about me? I guess I'm the hero of my own story. I live in a mid-size town in the South of England, I have two siblings, Rouge and Jasper, and my Mum, Danielle, no dad, it's a touchy subject. I've been bullied ever since starting school, stupid reasons, stupid people, but at this point I'm just used to it. Or I was used to it. People came into my life, mixed it all up and now... Now I have friends. This whole 'being around others' thing is pretty new to me, I'm not exactly good at saying what I mean, and honestly, my anxieties tend to make a lot of my decisions for me.

I've always known I was gay, which is a blessing and a curse, it's nice to know who you are your entire life, but... It sucks when you can't show anyone. You get treated like I have for so long, you don't exactly have much faith in people being accepting of you. The closer I get to people, the more scared I am of it, I guess I have more to lose than ever."

Elise Monroe

Age: 19

"Bonjour! I'm new to town, my family came here from Paris, it's not my first time, but it's looking like it's permanent now, so I'm finishing school here. I suppose I'm the Yin to Scarlet's Yang, ever since I got here she's been my best friend, I don't want to imagine what life would have been like if I hadn't met her... Ahem. I have been known to have a temper when I see something unjust, maybe I have fantasies of being a superhero, or a knight in shining armour, maybe I'm just crazy, all I know is I'm bad at sitting on the side lines.

You could call my love-life... Non-existent. I've had boyfriends, it's just... Nothing ever progressed. Alright, I'm a complete virgin, okay? It's not like I'm not interested, I just never found the right time, the right person... I don't know, it just never happened. I mean lately I've been thinking about me... About what I really want and I... No, that's for me to know, doesn't matter."

Rouge Cray

Age: 18

"Oh good, me, my favourite subject. I'm the smartest, the hottest, and the strongest. I'm the most desired, most envied, and most unstoppable. I'm the queen of this little town, motherfucker. And I suppose I'm also known as Scarlet's twin sister. Look, all that anyone needs to know about me is that I do what I want, and I'm always right, it's why everyone comes to me for advice, and why anyone with any brains whatsoever doesn't dare cross me. Okay, so I can be a tad prickly, is that so wrong? Better to keep people at an arms length.

As far as romance goes, I'm not exactly what you'd call committed. I lost my virginity on my Eighteenth birthday and broke up with the guy the next week. What can I say? I can't be with someone who has that power over me. I had this thing with this guy, Gabe... but it's not worth going into. Unlike my sister I'm straight as an arrow, not that she knows I know that about her. Then again that's me all over, I know everyone, and no one's allowed to know me."

Trish Patel

Age: 18

"I haven't always been a good person. I try to be, but, ultimately I guess I'm more of a people pleaser than anything. Is that the worst thing in the world? I got to know Rouge, and eventually Scarlet and Elise, and I guess I learned how to be better than I was. I'm pretty free-spirited, I try not to judge people for their differences, especially since I usually like those differences.

Yeah, I'm not exactly out and open about my bisexuality, but it's not a complete secret or anything. I've made out with guys and girls, I've seen a couple of dicks thanks to some unsolicited advances, but, I haven't done it yet. I feel like my first time having sex has to be something special, not out of some romantic fantasy or anything, I just want to get a good start, I mean what kind of player is shit in bed? And I want to be a player. At least, while I still have the choice to be. Not like I'm going to be able to do whatever I want forever. My parents will make sure of that.
