[bunny]

( A G N E S H A D L E Y )

FULL NAME: agnes elizabeth hadley
NICKNAME(S): none
GENDER: female
AGE: seventeen
CLIQUE: misfit (ex-floater)
POSITION: newbie
FACE CLAIM: turquoise of deviantart

APPEARANCE: Agnes has the trademark red hair of a Frances Crawford relative (except that pesky brown haired brother). However, unlike most redheads, she has dark brown eyes. Her skin is pale and soft, and she has rounded, child-like features. Agnes probably stands around five foot three inches, give or take half an inch.

PERSONALITY: Once upon a time, Agnes was a sweet girl. A bit too serious and too withdrawn at times, but sweet. She was the kind of girl who was content sitting in a library, sitting room or a field outside without company and without useless conversation. She was the quiet girl of her group of friends, the one who let them chatter away but was always willing to give her opinion when asked. She wasn't terribly creative, but she was consistent and sharp-witted.

The differences between her old self and her new ones aren't drastic, simply an exaggeration of previous tendencies. Before she was content with being alone, now she prefers it. Before she was quiet out of respect, now it's because she finds the topics of conversation boring. Before she would give her opinion when asked, now she sees no point. Agnes is now too moody to be an effective floater and too disinterested in books to be a bookworm.

She is a girl who no longer has use for other people.

LIKES: books, hot tea, roses, snowstorms, philosophy
DISLIKES: people, busybodies, parties, church
FEARS: never seeing him again, losing faith completely
DREAMS: finding her footing in the real world again

HISTORY: Agnes is an only child, but she never felt like one. With a huge extended family like her own, there was always a cousin or an aunt or an uncle to keep her company. Sometimes she felt that she couldn't find a voice among so many, but it was usually a fear unfounded because her family liked to hear her opinion as much as they liked to state their own.

Basically, Agnes had an uneventful life. She became a Floater at Florence's Academy which was nice because she liked all sorts of people and all sorts of people tolerated her. And then, of course, that changed. Agnes met someone. A special someone. A super special someone with whom she had secret, but chaste, meetings in the woods outside the academy. There was something different about him, something wild and untamed and magical, and just as quickly as he entered her life, he vanished. And with him, he took her sense of belonging with other people.

It was as if she had been in dreamland too long to find that footing in the real world again. He left her uncomfortable around people and uncomfortable in her faith, and now Agnes is struggling with a desire to find her way back to reality and an even greater desire to see him again.

FAMILY:
 -- Father: Michael Hadley
 -- Mother: Eleanor Hadley (nee Crawford)
 -- Cousin: Beatrice Trimble (1-)
 -- Cousin: Frances Crawford (16)
 -- Other: Too many to name!

( B R E N D A N O ' B R I E N )

FULL NAME: brendan james o'brien
NICKNAME(S): jamie
GENDER: male
AGE: eighteen
CLIQUE: studs
POSITION: leader
FACE CLAIM: oscar spendrup

APPEARANCE: Jamie is six foot three inches with a fair amount of muscles and a tendency to use them. His hair is dark and curly, usually longer on the top than in the back so that it curls back. His eyes are a light green, borderline hazel or some sort of green and blue and brown mix that is too hard to categorise. He has quite a few scars and discolorations from various fights, but he prides himself on keeping his handsome mug blemish free.

PERSONALITY: Jamie is an intelligent kid. He's not all brawn and no brains. His vocabulary is immense in size and his logical reasoning keeps him from getting in too much trouble. However, instead of utilizing his knowledge to succeed in school and life, he prefers to use it only as weapons against rivals. Instead of taking advantage of his vocabulary, he prefers to let his fists do the talking. Jamie is a quiet, cocky guy who prefers living on the edge than doing anything remotely academic and can hold his alcohol with the rest of them.

Let's see. He has a horribly quick temper, and many a guy has walked away with a broken jaw to prove it. But he is as easily pleased as he is angered. He can be the bee's knees when he's happy. All smiles and jokes. There's very little in between when dealing with him. Jamie's also candid. He doesn't do two-faced, and he doesn't have the time to suck up to people with more power than him. He'd rather scrape through the mud than lower himself.

LIKES: alcohol, drugs, fist fights, girls, sex, jazz, science
DISLIKES: homework, rules, authority, responsibility
FEARS: small spaces, being held back, ruining his face
DREAMS: having a hot wife and kids, holding the largest bank heist in history, being a lawyer

HISTORY: Jamie hasn't had a remarkable history. He was born near Dublin in a small town where the cottages are cramp and cozy and everyone knows everyone. He has five other siblings, all of whom both hold large places in his heart and annoy the shit out of him. Jamie's father was the first person to introduce him to alcohol and bar fights, and he hasn't looked back since.

He was a good boy, though. A real momma's boy. He never appeared before her drunk or beaten up. He always helped around the house and kissed her goodnight, and he never, ever let her see the extent of his temper. Still, like a good mother, she knew what her son was getting up to. Wanting to keep him from falling any farther into ruin, she and her husband scraped together enough money to fund his education at Florence's Academy in the hopes that it would offer him something better in life than booze.

( E D M U N D F I T Z G E R A L D )

FULL NAME: edmund george fitzgerald
NICKNAME(S): ed
GENDER: male
AGE: twenty-nine
OCCUPATION: teacher
SUBJECT: english
FACE CLAIM: tiberio of mm

APPEARANCE: Ed is about six foot even with dark scruff decorating his chin and dark hair upon his head. He has brown eyes, defined cheekbones and a strong, pointed chin. There's really not much else to say. He's a bit on the scrawny side, but he's an English teacher, so what would you expect?

Oh, yeah, p.s. he has his ear pierced. Like a pirate/gypsy!

PERSONALITY: Ed is a rationalist. He doesn't believe in God, and he doesn't believe in any sort of Fae in any shape or form. He believes that the universe follows set laws and that myths were simply the result of ignorant people trying to explain natural phenomena. Besides, he thinks that human beings are cruel and unpredictable enough, no one needs vampires and demons and the like running around as well.

Despite being so adamant about cold hard facts, he's a generally laid back guy who prefers a good conversation with good people and good food to being anywhere else. He's not a romantic and only makes a move when he is sure that it is the best thing to do, but he is straightforward and open in his affections. He's slightly lazy and doesn't put too much stock in how he presents himself to society. Of course, it might stem from his general disregard for society and its rules. He does not believe in giving preferential treatment to the rich, nor does he believe in discrimination.

LIKES: apples, logic, antique furniture, poetry, socrates
DISLIKES: mythology, religion, discrimination, favoritism
FEARS: giving into pressures, very large dogs, rejection
DREAMS: having a stable job, a stable love, and a stable life

HISTORY: Ed was born to a surrogate mother for two men who, according to society, could not wed and, according to biology, could not conceive. He was originally meant to be one of two children, one with one father's sperm and one with the other, but the pair found themselves too overwhelmed by diapers to consider adding another child into the mix. His fathers appeared to society as business partners, and Ed was said to be the son of Edwin and a mistress.

At home, however, all pretenses faded. The servants were treated and paid handsomely, partly because Fred disliked the idea of the working class living in near poverty and partly to keep them too happy to talk. Ed was allowed to call both men "father" at home, and it was something he was thankful for. He never cared for pretending Fred was not related to him, and as a child, he tried to make up for it by roughhousing and reading with his other father.

Occasionally, when word would get out, his parents would pack up and move to another place where a branch of their business was set up, and so Ed became accustomed to moving as a child. Beyond gaining an ability to make friends easily and losing a desire to fit in with crowds he might not see again next year, Ed felt his life was relatively normal. Yes, there was some deception, but nothing big. He was still a kid who went to school and went home to two loving parents.

He has been a teacher for eight years now, this year being his first at Florence's Academy. Even now, he likes the novelty of moving every so often.

FAMILY:
 -- Father: Edwin Fitzgerald
 -- Father: Fred Alcorn
 -- Birth Mother: "Mary"
 -- Other: All estranged

( G W E N D O L Y N R O W E )

FULL NAME: gwendolyn winifred rowe
NICKNAME(S): gwen, wendy
GENDER: female
AGE: eighteen
CLIQUE: pretty faces
POSITION: follower
FACE CLAIM: rebecca shore of mm

APPEARANCE: Gwen stands at five feet and six inches. She has long dark hair, blue eyes, and more freckles than you can shake your tail at. In the summer, she tans quite darkly, but otherwise has a medium skin tone. Though she's soft and nonathletic from a life of excess, Gwen prides herself on her eighteen inch waist.

PERSONALITY: Make no mistake about it: Gwendolyn is a pretentious, spoiled young woman who prides herself on her good looks, fortune and status in life. She is not hiding an old soul with deep philosophy and a desire to befriend the poor (only stopped by her friends' opinions). No, she wants nothing to do with the lower class or the thoughtful or anything like that.

Of course, Gwen's desire to be the center of attention does make her rub the wrong way against society. She does not want to learn to knit and paint and be a good house wife and bride. She wants to do something with her life to make her notable and different. She wants to make her own decisions and have her own life and not be chained. A part of her reasons of becoming a Pretty Face were to find a weak willed husband to domineer, but that's simply a back up plan. What Gwen really wants to do is become a doctor.

I guess you can say that she's ambitious. She doesn't mind relying on her womanly charms and daddy's money to get who and what she wants.

LIKES: money, status, good looking boys, attention, flowers
DISLIKES: mud, ugly clothes, celeste, iris, competition
FEARS: spiders, snakes, ostracism, the life of a housewife
DREAMS: being a doctor despite what society says

HISTORY: Gwen was born to a very rich family and was a very rich little girl and is now a very rich young woman. She was supposed to marry two years ago, but she threw a fit that made her father go prematurely grey and gave her mother a heart attack. Thus she avoided marriage for a year. Then she was engaged to some doctor who bored the mess out of her, but she liked the engagement ring and showing it off, so she went along with it. The engagement fizzled after a few months, but he left her with something besides the ring (she threw a fit to keep it): the desire to be a doctor.

Hearing his audacity to play God and how well it pays off just blew her mind. Gwen decided with all seriousness to do even better at her studies so that she could break the gender barrier and become a world renowned surgeon. Heck, women used to do it, right?

Oh yeah, she also dislikes Celeste for some reason or another, but I'm not really sure. She doesn't like any of the Pretty Faces, though, so that might just be a "by association" thing. Oh well.

FAMILY:
 -- Father: Bastian Rowe
 -- Mother: Susan Rowe (nee Pevensie)

( N A T A L Y A B E N S O N )

FULL NAME: natalya rois belladonna fernandez ruíz benson
NICKNAME(S): nat, natalie, talia, tali
GENDER: female
AGE: seventeen
RACE: spanish, romani
CLASS: gypsy
FACE CLAIM: michelle kathryn of mm

APPEARANCE: Natalya has light brown skin and dark brown hair with honey colored highlights. She has round features and a small stature (four foot eleven inches, to be exact). Her eyes are almost orange in the light, but not quite. She usually has a few cuts and bruises from being a generally clumsy person.

PERSONALITY: Natalya has been considered a saint, though she doesn't think so. She puffs her cheeks and scowls at all sorts of things, and she's pretty sure that saints don't get so irritated at small things like she does.

She's a chatterbox, having many things to say and not enough time in the day to say it all. Sometimes she's self-conscious that she might talk too much, but as long as people don't stop her, she doesn't. Natalya is a people pleaser. She's beyond eager to do whatever insane or inane task someone asks her to do just because she'd like to make them happy. Really, making people happy is possibly her only goal in life.

She cries, she laughs, and she sings. Natalya is rarely mad or pensive. She acts and speaks before she thinks, but she is a ridiculously good listener and hard worker.

LIKES: puppies, flowers, tarot cards, fellow gypsies, everything
DISLIKES: mean people, mean animals, almost nothing
FEARS: rejection, being alone, losing someone, being useless
DREAMS: knowing more of everything, learning to read

HISTORY: Natalya was born in Spain to her mother and a man who has only been referred to as "the bastard." Her mother was a wild thing, a thief some nights and a saint others. It wasn't until her last attempt at highway robbery failed that she moved across the channel to Great Britain with a five year old child in tow. Settling in with the neighborhood gypsies wasn't too hard. She married into them like an other outsider, and though a few of the customs were different, the camp outside of Florence's Academy felt like home.

Natalya learned English slower than most and still occasionally lapses into her native tongue. What she did pick up faster than most was the layout of the camp, the plants that grew and the animals that lived and the behaviors of the students up at the academy.

For a while, it was her dream to attend, and even when that dream was impossible to fulfill, she did do the next best thing: get a job there. It doesn't pay much and the people aren't particularly nice, but Natalya likes the small allowance she makes and the snacks she can bring home to the kids.

FAMILY:
 -- Father: Unknown
 -- Mother: Evangelina Benson (nee Fernandez)
 -- Stepfather: Dustin Benson
 -- Uncle: Harry Benson
 -- Aunt: Magdalene Benson (nee Smith)
 -- Cousin: Calliope Benson

EXTRAS Natalya's pretty darn good at reading the fortunes of others. She's also been having some odd dreams about the cave. Really weird kind of dreams.

FULL NAME: sigismund arthur voliante
NICKNAME(S): saul
GENDER: male
AGE: sixteen
CLIQUE: handsome eyes
POSITION: follower
FACE CLAIM: william moseley

APPEARANCE: Saul is about five foot eleven inches with sandy blonde hair that's usually swept to the side and blue eyes. He has a fair complexion with a pair of dimples, white teeth, and an average toned body. He's obviously lived a life of wealth, but he's also obviously thrown a punch or two. He just doesn't make the latter his whole reason of existence.

PERSONALITY: Saul is a charismatic, smart, handsome, helpful, friendly, witty young man.

Or he's a merciless, unyielding tyrant who dislikes having his will crossed and does whatever it takes to get what he wants.

Saul is a caring individual who puts the comfort of others (especially women and superiors) ahead of himself.

Or he's a young man who plots to destroy people physically, materially and emotionally for daring to cross him (or even existing).

Which person Saul is really depends on who is approaching him. Saul usually makes his true nature known to those he considers beneath him, especially those of the same sex. For the most part, though, he plays the part. He lets people see what he wants them to see, and it isn't until he no longer has a use for them that all the skeletons in the closet come tumbling out.

Saul is not a nice person, and he doesn't delude himself into thinking he is; though, he's more than willing to delude everyone else. Always plotting, always scheming, and never caring for another human soul to the extent that he would spare them leaves Saul someone you should stay very far away from.

LIKES: languages (he knows six), the piano, power, being well known
DISLIKES: lack of respect, authority, cheeky old women, the proud poor, those too weak to help themselves
FEARS: lightning, those with more power, poverty, death
DREAMS: ruling the world, being a concert pianist

HISTORY: Let's condense this history, shall we? Saul was born to Lorelei Callaghan and Arthur Voliante. They weren't wed. He's not sure of their relationship, but he does know that his mother was considered a whore by one of her sisters and died in childbirth. His father, consumed by grief, left him in the care of the Thompson's and died two years later on his way to retrieve Saul.

Meanwhile, in the house of Satan, Saul provoked the ire of his aunt and uncle by becoming a charge of them without having a fortune they could touch. That's right. It cannot be touched by anyone except Saul until Saul turned of age. So his money was off limits, his aunt and uncle responded by making his life hell in various melodramatic ways. The one silver lining was a servant named Beth who kept him company until she *abandoned him.

That was pretty much the final straw. While his cousin Georgina offered a bit of respite in her love of everything, including him, it wasn't enough to counteract the years of abuse and the loss of the one person he loved.

So Saul went nutso. Quietly. Very quietly.


*"abandoned" here means that Saul's aunt lied. Beth turned herself in for the murder of the two hit men Saul's aunt hired to kill him because she didn't want Saul going to prison instead.
