name: Sweetheart Rosacci nicknames (if any): Sweets or Sweetie age: 17 type: earth gender: female body color: white hair color: dark pink eye color: pink symbol: pink hearts
personality/temperament (how they act: quiet, daring, etc.): Sweetheart is a kind pony, one who would do anything for her friends and who wouldn’t turn her back on any creature that needed her help. She is rather quiet in a way, doesn’t like to bring herself to the fore much, but will participate in the action alongside with others. She is open and friendly, so she can also be very brave in her actions, even though it tears her if she has to choose between her friends or between important duties. She is very dutiful and when she gives a promise she will go to great lengths in order to keep them. She never turns her back on a friend.
clothes: she wears rather simple clothes, and nothing especially revealing. Sweetheart can be very prude about her clothing, but she never criticizes others’ dressing if she can avoid it. She likes to wear jeans, sweaters and black walking shoes, and hardly ever wears high heels – except when she goes out in a nice dress or something.
pets (if they have any): has a white long-haired cat with green eyes, called Smitten.
history: Sweetheart is from an Italian family. Her parents come from Italy, though she herself hasn’t lived there. She’s got three younger sisters, Sugar, Peaches and Sprinkles, and one older brother Dandy who was sent to a boarding school at a very early age. Dandy and Sweetheart used to be very close as children. Dandy was quite a reckless youth, always doing pranks and getting himself into trouble, which was why he was sent off to the boarding school when he was about nine or so. Since then Sweetheart and Dandy haven’t seen much of one another.
Sweetheart’s parents are rather rich and well to do. Her father seems to scratch up money from nothing, being a car salesman, and her mother is a lawyer. Sweetheart thinks her parents are doing ok, although since she turned fifteen she has begun to realise that they are not quite as peachy as she might like to think. They see each other fairly rarely, and only family holidays are spent together as a whole family. They go to trips together, mostly to Italy. Sweetheart receives quite a pressure from home about getting good grades at graduation in order to get to a good school afterwards. She really loves arts, however, and dreams of becoming an artist instead of some crummy lawyer like her mother wants her to. Therefore, she takes arts classes almost in secret from her parents and uses all the spare time she has in developing her artistic talents of drawing, playing saxophone and acting.
birthplace: Meadowbrook.

name: Starlight Brighton nicknames (if any): Stars or Starry or Star age: 18 type: earth gender: female body color: pink hair color: yellow eye color: blue symbol: yellow star with smaller blue stars and dots
personality/temperament (how they act: quiet, daring, etc.): Starlight is outspoken, self-assured and tends to stand up for herself. She doesn’t let other people mess about with her, and she always tries to be very grown up. She is sometimes a little gullible, however, and though she is very smart and quick-witted, she can manage to get herself in quite a trouble because of her innocence. Starlight is very responsible person, and though she can be judgmental with the rest, she tries to keep an open mind and not take any sides in an argument situation. She likes animals and tries her best to protect them in everything she does. Starlight dreams of becoming something great when she grows up, perhaps a professor, or a lawyer, or a judge even. Who knows – but it has to be something well educated for her. She aims high.
clothes: she varies her outfits, but usually she wears rather colourful clothes. She has fluffy wool sweaters and tight t-shirts with all sorts of furry things attached – no real fur, though, just these coloured made furs, since she is sort of a half time animal activist. She wears colourful skirts, which are often made up of patches. She has golden or red jewel earrings and other jewellery, but she doesn’t wear make-up much.
pets (if they have any): none
history: Starlight’s parents have broken up. She has lived with her mom for the most of her life, but partially also with her father. She has no siblings, but due to her broken home, she has learned how to cope alone and how to take care of more than one person at a time. Starlight has often had to pull her mother up when she has – again after another disastrous love affair with a guy that’s ended up dumping her after getting some action from her – been too low to even pick herself up from the bed. Starlight began early to help work at the parlour her mother owns, and she has also helped out at the ice cream shop which his father owns. He still owns the shop, but doesn't come by very often. Instead, he has hired a bartender, whom Starlight helps out whenever she an. She has always had a very good working morale, and that is why, even though she isn’t especially intelligent or above average, she has done well in school. She is heading for law school, or university, she is trying to make up her mind on that.

name: Dandy Rosacci nicknames (if any): Dan age: 25 type: earth gender: male body color: white hair color: dark red eye color: dark red symbol: a red feather
personality/temperament (how they act: quiet, daring, etc.): Dandy has grown up a bit since his teens, when he used to be a terrible prankster and couldn’t stay put for more than two seconds. He still has his reckless, rebellious streak, but he’s come to learn that in life, sometimes you got to give up in order to float. He’s fiercely protective over his sister and anyone else he cares about, but everyone else he just waves off without any further ado.
clothes: black jeans, black leather jacket, sleeveless white shirts, silver chain necklaces, a silver earring in the right ear and leather boots. He’s got a dragon tattoo on his lower back, right above his butt where the trousers cover it from sight usually. It looks like the black dragon was lying comfortably just above his bottom.
pets (if they have any): Ronny (a dobermann dog)
history: Dandy is Sweetheart’s older brother and thus part of the same Italian family. He used to be a reckless boy, which is why his parents sent him to a boarding school at an early age (around nine). He’s been there ever since, learning not so much good behaviour as his parents think but bitterness and anger lessons. He made an art form out of sneaking out of the dormitories without anyone noticing, and has come to be quite good in this sort of secret activity, though on the outside he appears to be calmer and behaving better. He can be quite the ladies’ man, and usually doesn’t call afterwards. Despite being in an all-boys boarding school, he found ways of getting out to date girls, so he is actually quite experienced. He managed to whip up good enough grades to graduate and even good enough to excel in computer science enough to become quite the computer whiz. He went through university to get his Master’s Degree and since then acquired a job in a low-profile industrial company. This profession is paying off suitably to keep his parents off his back, but he has become darker-minded lately, which worries his sister. He doesn’t talk to anyone much about his life, so it’s hard to tell what this dark-mindedness is about. He does seem to be seeing his father strangely often when considering what a bad relationship they have always had – his father has the habit of beating his son up whenever he sees the reason for it, and even now when he’s grown up appears as though he believes he has every right and ability to do so. But, even though Dan and his father still argue a lot and though Dan lives in an apartment alone, they can be seen often together. Oh, and off-hand-remark: he rides a motorbike - and sometimes seems to love the bike more than any living being.
birthplace: Italy but didn’t really live there so that he’d remember.

Name: Ciro Tirano Nicknames (if any): Chip (his call name – no one really calls him Ciro) Age: 24 Type: earth Gender: male Body colour: dark orange Hair colour: flame red, cut short in punk-style (like Teddy in the Tales show) except that he’s got a long fringe hanging on his forehead. Eye colour: brown Symbol: little flames and shards of metal
Personality/temperament: Chip is as full of energy as his colours suggest. At times it seems that he doesn’t seem to be able to stand still even for a moment, he’s always going somewhere or up to something, and his brain works full throttle all the time. He is extremely intelligent but sometimes appears goofier than he really is, but that’s just his act: he loves to entertain his friends by telling them stupid stories or talking them dizzy. He is a flashing personality, easily known but difficult to access on a deeper level. Though he talks a lot, he doesn’t talk about himself.
Clothes: Chip is very particular about his clothing and never goes out without checking how he looks at least twice from the mirror. He wears black jeans, which are tight-fitting around the waist but loose around the legs. As for anything else, he keeps changing all the time. Some days he’s got colourful jackets, other days he has sleeveless shirts and a chain necklace. He doesn’t wear sneakers except when he’s jogging – he considers sneakers way out of his style. He prefers either boots or neat leather shoes instead, and always makes sure all the colours match. He wears rings and has pierced his left ear from three places, though he only wears two earrings, which are both simple golden rings. For those who ever see him undress will know he wears a rather impressive-looking knife strapped onto his left leg (the straps are black leather).
Pets: none
History: Chip was born to a family that has its roots in Italy, though for two generations now the family has lived in different cities all around Ponyland (or in whichever state this place is located). His mother died of childbirth and for ten years Chip was raised by his father only. They moved to [this place] when Chip was about two years old, so he remembers little about it. Around the time Chip was eight, his father married a seventeen-year-old girl called Scarlet, and sent Chip to a boarding school in order for him to learn discipline, as he put it. In fact, as Chip believes, he wanted the boy out of his way in order to better enjoy his new bride.
In any case, Chip was put in the same boarding school as Dandy, probably because Tino “Tin” Rosacci (Sweetheart’s and Dandy’s father) and Chip’s father had always been good friends, and the two thought that their sons could as well become friends. When Chip was younger, he often played with Dan. In the boarding school their friendship grew stronger, and they became practically inseparable. Chip helped Dan through his school problems, and Chip was actually the one to draw Dan with him to computer science. Dandy graduated and got his Master’s Degree before Chip did, but it took him a longer while to get a job. After Chip graduated not long ago, he got a job from the same company, though Chip also has a side job at the Meadowbrook High as the computer assistant and tech support, giving computer tutoring to students.
Chip has just moved back into [this place]. He still lives home, mainly because of his father, who doesn’t let him move out. Chip doesn’t understand why, although he can guess it has something to do with him not wanting to live alone with Scarlet anymore. Scarlet and Chip’s father don’t get along well anymore, because he has found out Scarlet is fooling around with younger guys. Being a Catholic, Chip’s father doesn’t believe in divorce, hence he sticks with her, though the two have basically separated the house between themselves. Now Chip has got into a difficult situation because Scarlet has shown obvious interest in him, whereas he couldn’t be less interested.
Facts of interest: Chip does photographing partly as a hobby, partly as an actual job, for a fashion magazine. His own interests lie in more artistic approaches, and though he does most of his photographing in a studio he has rented from the fashion magazine Gauge he works for, he loves to do photographing outside, in the nature or otherwise "authentic" surroundings.
Birthplace: he doesn’t even know – in one city or another

name: Carina (=Pretty) Capriccio (= Whim) nicknames (if any): Cara (=beloved, mostly used by her father and brothers currently) age: 17 type: earth gender: female body color: red hair color: dark brown cut short eye color: indigo symbol: white kitten personality/temperament (how they act: quiet, daring, etc.): Carina isn’t exactly unfriendly, but she doesn’t like to put herself forth much, and doesn’t feel comfortable with too shallow people, and thus her social circle is rather small. She likes to stay in the background, but might put in a comment or two sometimes, and can be drawn into discussions fairly easily, if she finds the topic worth her while. She is fearless and would probably appear rather secretive than shy, as she has the air of confidence about her. She has high standards when it comes to boys, and some evil tongues claim that she is frigid, but in fact she merely brushes off those boys she feels are not for her. She values honesty and earthliness, and is not interested in trendy or popular guys nor about sexiness. She is not easy to flirt with, as she is mostly interested in what is inside, not about what you can see on the outside. In addition, she is bisexual, so boys are not the only thing she is interested in.
clothes: sporty clothes. Her usual clothing consists of either shorts or a short white skirt (like a tennis skirt), sneakers and open tops or loose sports jackets etc. When she wears a skirt, she usually wears long, socks that go a little above the knee (stockings?).
pets (if they have any): parrot named Nonno (means “grandpa” in Italian)
history: Carina was born into the family that owns the pizzeria Little Italy. She has had to take care of her father and brothers as the only woman in the family since her mother died when she was twelve years old. She has three older brothers and an elderly father who tends to the counter and the bar of the restaurant. Her brothers also help out at the pizzeria, although her eldest brother is in the military, so he doesn’t work there much. She has little plans for after high school, since she knows her family can’t afford to send her to any good school afterwards, but she still works for her grades, at least enough to keep them at a tolerable level so that in case any opportunities would arise, she will not miss out on anything for her grades. She’s very sports-oriented and athletic, and is part of the cheerleading team. She does most of her other exercising outside school activities, however, and she can be usually seen running in the evenings her practice rounds. She keeps her body trimmed in top shape, but health is not her only interest. Her passion is dancing and singing; she dreams of a career in music business. She is thus part of the choir, but doesn’t attend the band because she doesn’t have the money to get herself any sort of an instrument (but if there would be a place for a vocalist in the band, she might be persuaded – only she doesn’t believe she has a very good voice). Nowadays she is quite lonely, but as she isn’t into gossiping about boys or being trendy or anything like that, she doesn’t really care to be part of the popular groups, anyway. She considers Sweetheart her friend, but hasn’t really talked with anyone besides her.

name: Rowan MacDamon nicknames (if any): Rowie age: 18 type: earth gender: male body color: dark green hair color: fiery red eye color: dark blue symbol: a rowan tree wrapped in the MacDamon clan tartan (which is green, red and blue by colour) personality/temperament (how they act: quiet, daring, etc.): Rowan has a feisty temperament and lets no one push him around. He is easy to get into a fight due to his strong sense of pride – you insult him, you pay for it. Strangely enough, he doesn’t go looking for action, however. He rather prefers to make friends, and in truth he is very shy, though he manages to hide it well beneath a loud exterior. The girls he’s dated would know the real him, however, since his shyness comes out when he goes out with girls. He’s proud of his Highland Scottish roots so he does his best to live up to his proud clan name (and no, there is no such clan in real life Scotland). clothes: a tartan. Yes, you heard me. He wears his clan tartan despite the possible – or eminent – ridicule he might receive from doing so. Beneath the tartan – well, he does wear underwear for the most of the time. But other than that, nothing. He doesn’t like wearing shirts, so whenever it’s warm enough he goes without. (In case there are real winters – meaning temperatures going below minus 10 degrees Celsius – he will probably wear something beneath the tartan, but if not, he tells you you’re a wussy if you can’t take it.) He wears rather traditional Highland clothing in general and has a silver medallion with his clan emblem on it (yet to decide on the clan emblem). pets (if they have any): he’s got a mean big ugly shepherd dog with long white fur and pointy ears. It isn’t of any special breed and it’s called Brùideil (which means “beastly”, “barbaric”, “cruel” etc in Gaelic if I’m not completely mistaken). Or some just call him Brute. history: Born in the Highlands of Scotland, Rowan was taught the old ways by her family, which is one of the last to uphold the proud clanship tradition of the Gaelic ways. His first language is Gaelic, though he learned English alongside it, so he is actually bilingual. Rowan’s family moved out of their old clan lands because of a job offer. Rowan's father died only five years ago into an unexpected heart attack, and his mother was left alone with four children. Though the clan helped as best they could, living wasn't easy for anyone back home. Therefore, Rowan’s mother seized an opportunity to work abroad for a travelling agency, and now his family lives in [name of this town]. Rowan has three siblings – two brothers and one sister – but he's the only one of the four children to actually wear a kilt. His father used to be very proud of him, of course, but his younger sister (age 12) tends to laugh at him. His brothers are only five and six years old, so they don't much understand what's going on. They are always dressed in their clan tartan coloured clothing. Rowan's sister does wear her clan colours in her skirt, but she tends to like more modern clothing than Rowan, which has caused a bit of a scuffle between the siblings as Rowan insists on pride of tradition. He would even carry a sword if he could. Currently, Rowan knows no one here. The family's moving was delayed due to a set of accidents and setbacks which appear quite frequent in Rowan's family. Consequently, Rowan is starting up school only on Tuesday, a day late. The furniture is still out of place but at least they have mattresses. birthplace: Beinn Dearg – a mountain in the Highlands of Scotland. Her parents were on a hike there when he suddenly decided he wanted out of the womb.

name: Meadowlark Vaillant (maiden name Springling) nicknames (if any): Lark age: 27 type: earth gender: female body color: pink hair color: yellow eye color: blue symbol: a ballerina shoe on top of a yellow star personality/temperament (how they act: quiet, daring, etc.): Meadowlark was always very romantic, kind and mature. She never seemed to get jealous at anyone, nor angry at anyone, and always found it in her heart to forgive, no matter how badly she had been offended. This means she was easy to manipulate. Nowadays she still retains her good nature in many respects, but she has become a little neurotic and insecure from inside. On the outside, she appears the same Meadowlark she always was, but on the inside she has reached a breaking point.
clothes: Meadowlark always wears designer clothes that are not too extravagant or flashy or revealing but not too common either. She is still the belle to be noticed, and she never leaves the house unless she is well dressed. She loves jewellery and has a wide collection. Her usual clothing includes skirts and high heels, other than that she hasn’t any particular style. pets (if they have any): none
history: Meadowlark was always very successful. She was a natural talent in dancing, and became a star at the age of 20 or so. Her family was very loving and happy, though with a slightly nervous mother. The whole family is very artistic, as her father is an artist and she herself became a ballet star. Her little sister Clover used to take dancing lessons as well, her dream to become as good as Meadowlark. Back then Meadowlark and Clover were still rather close, or at least close enough for Meadowlark to know what was going on in Clover’s life approximately. Nowadays Lark has grown away from her family. For the past seven years or so she has been mostly absent. Her company toured far away around Ponyland and Europe, and she gained even more fame, never letting it get into her head, however. Eventually she got offered a role in a film in France, together with Cheval, and they accepted. Since then nothing has been the same for her. They became a huge hit in France along with the film, Cheval especially. He was offered a spot in a French soap opera show, and he accepted. This meant he stayed in France, and Lark chose to stay with him. She turned to theatre and started starring in productions there. She has become very famous of her name role in a French production of Romeo and Juliet. Cheval himself starred as Romeo for a time before his acting for the TV-show consumed his time.
Lark changed during her years in France. She was always the one to make sacrifices for her loved ones, especially her husband Cheval. This was why she gave up her ballet career to stay with him in France. This was why she never complained when he started to change. But this was why her mental balance began to falter. He started to ignore her and they started to see each other less and less even though they lived together. He would stay out late and offer no explanation. Lark would let it slide. He would start bringing his friends over to their home and close Lark out, and she would just hear them laughing behind closed doors and not know what was going on. Still, she would not confront Cheval. His behaviour became ever more distant, until Lark realised that in truth, she had never known him at all. He had never been as close to her as she had wanted to imagine. He hardly ever spoke about herself, he merely gave her gifts and was very charming, and she had fallen in love with an image of him she wanted to see. His proposal had made all her dreams come true. She never questioned it, never suspected it, never wanted to see anything more than what she wanted to.
Now she’s paying the price. Her dreams are shattering about her, and she doesn’t know what to do. She has finally attempted to confront Cheval about it, but he denies anything being wrong. He wouldn’t answer to her at all, he simply sent her a dozen roses the next day and has acted as though nothing was different ever since. Desperate, she has given it up and tries to go on like nothing is wrong, but it is becoming harder all the time. Now she and Cheval have been offered a place in a Romeo and Juliet production in [this town]. They accepted – Cheval’s accepting was a slight surprise to Lark – and now they are arriving home, to stay at least until Christmas. Secretly Meadowlark is planning to stay behind when Cheval returns to France. She would want to tell her family of her troubles but she doesn’t want to shatter the illusion of being the “perfect daughter” and therefore she tries to act as though nothing’s wrong.
birthplace: believe it or not, she was actually born in the theatre.
name: Cheval Vaillant nicknames (if any): Chevy (dislikes this) age: 30 type: earth gender: male body color: tan beige hair color: dark red eye color: blue symbol: black top hat and a gentleman’s cane(I think) personality/temperament (how they act: quiet, daring, etc.): Cheval is always very politically correct and knows good manners. He never lets his outer calmness and politeness fail. Inside, however, there lies a very confused man who doesn’t himself know what he wants or who he is.
clothes: very refined suits and elegant clothing. Changes by the day, but is always very dignified and gentlemanly. pets (if they have any): none
history: Cheval was born for stardom, you might say. His parents were very rich and aristocratic and gave him everything he could ever dream of. He got a gentleman’s education from very early on and you might say that in many ways he lives still in the 19th century along with the rich elite which his family was part of. When he was young, he took acting lessons and dancing lessons and was always very artistically oriented. He is, however, what one could call a one-character actor. His skills in acting have never allowed him a vast array of different characters, and so his interests eventually turned to dancing and ballet rather than acting. He became a common hero figure in productions, and was a ballet star already when he first met Meadowlark. Meadowlark was a promising young talent and Cheval took her under his wing. Eventually the two ended up going on dates and before Cheval knew it, he had proposed and Meadowlark had accepted. It was all like a dream, though mostly just for Meadowlark. Cheval felt himself a part of a dream he couldn’t quite grasp. He continued the act of a wonderful gentleman from the stage into his personal life.
What went on inside Cheval during the early years of the marriage is difficult to describe. He had been raised as a gentleman and a nobleman who never lets his emotions show and who never forgets his manners, and he had trouble ever rising beyond that education. He did as his parents wanted most of his youth and when he became a famous ballet star and married another famous ballet star his parents were happy. When he got the role in the soap opera and returned home to France, he still lived his parents’ dream. He bought himself a luxurious villa and threw parties the way they wanted him to. In his heart, however, he began to distance himself more and more from the lifestyle he was caught in, and also from Meadowlark, who he felt was just another part of the gilded cage that was holding him. He enjoys the fame, at least on the outside, and parties with his (male) friends privately, living the chauvinistic aristocratic life his parents gave him an example of. When Lark confronted him once, he brushed it off, mostly because he himself didn’t really know exactly why he was behaving that way towards the lovely woman he had married. He is now following her into her old home mostly to keep up the appearances, though in his heart he worries that it might all come out, and he wouldn’t know what to do.
birthplace: an old mansion in France

Note: I'm going to change Bee's last name because I just noticed Mel has the same last name, heh.
name: Bright Eyes Preston nicknames (if any): Bee age: 17 type: earth gender: female body color: light aqua green hair color: orange eye color: pink symbol: red notepad with pencil personality/temperament (how they act: quiet, daring, etc.): Bee was always the brains of the crowd. She is obsessed with reading, has been reading ever since she was five years old, and has probably gone through every single classic ever written in the English language. And then some. Secretly she loves fantasy and medieval role-playing, but as she fears she might be thought a geek for it, she doesn’t dare to speak about it to others. She is quite ok with not being with the in-crowd. She’s never been “cool” and she knows it. She rather likes to be smart and has a terrible fear of failure, and a pressure to over-achievement. She has to be the best in everything, science, literature, math, you name it. She works hard for her grades but never seems to get them high enough. She has a load of insecurities and has developed a set of neurotic patterns. She is struggling with bulimic tendencies, and is probably one of the skinniest girls in school. clothes: currently: spring green sweater with pink and aqua blue stripe decorations, dark brown mocca skirt a little below the knees and matching brown belt with decorated buckle and dark olive green mocca boots. She believes she is fat, and therefore the sweater is of the loose type, to hide her body formation better (in fact it serves to hide the fact that she’s too thin to be healthy). pets (if they have any): none; she’s mildly allergic to most history: Bee lived a relatively happy childhood, without anything too exciting going on. Her mother is dead, but as she was too young when this happened, she hardly remembers her. His father works at the local newspaper, and has always encouraged Bee’s natural writing talents, hoping to see her become a reporter one day, even pressuring her a little.
Bee’s problems began when she started high school. She had always been hard-working when it came to school, and always a nice girl. She didn’t do make up or hair-dos or anything else like that. In high school she started to feel pressured about her appearance, however, and became more and more self-conscious. Also, her school achievement became even more important, as she realised she was headed for the most important crossroads of her life – the decision of what she would do for the rest of her life. She laid on her a lot of pressure, thinking that her father wanted her to follow up on his footsteps and trying on the other hand to pursue her life-long dream of becoming a vet. This dream shattered, however, when she found she was allergic. Her allergy isn’t especially severe, but bad enough to seriously influence her chances of becoming a vet. The falling apart of this dream made her fall apart in other ways as well. Suddenly, she was without a dream job, and without any idea of what she was going to do, or what she wanted to do, for that matter. She developed insecurities about herself that had never been so bad before, and began to think herself fat. Downhill began from there. To the surrounding world, she still seems to be the “perfect Bee” she always was, but inside, she is going through turmoil and problems she feels she can’t talk with anyone about. birthplace: Meadowbrook

name: Rooker Cash nicknames (if any): Rook, Rookie age: 17 type: earth gender: male body color: light grey hair color: dark grey eye color: green symbol: a dark grey tower personality/temperament (how they act: quiet, daring, etc.): very quiet, very shy, very withdrawn and very easily teased. Though extremely intelligent, Rook is your typical less-than-confident though sweet guy who ends up watching at beautiful girls from aside and hoping that one day he’d be noticed. He’s usually seen in some corner of the school or other, reading a book, or sitting alone in the cafeteria, doing his homework or something like that. clothes: jeans and loose t-shirts and warm but not so cool jackets when its cold. Oh – and he has glasses. pets (if they have any): fish; he’s got a very large aquarium. history: Rook has actually a rather happy home life. Aside from the fact that his father is hardly ever there. His mother is extremely fussy and behaves as though her son is the centre of her universe. This may well be true. Rook’s father is practically never home, as he’s always away on business trips to this or that part of the world. He tends to send home presents and sometimes at Christmas he’s nothing more than a postcard and a huge parcel under the Christmas tree. Thus all Rook’s mother really has is her son. She always makes sure he leaves home in warm clothes and is worried if he doesn’t come home at the exact time she’s used to seeing him coming home, and she doesn’t see there is anything wrong with Rook being shy and withdrawn, she believes he’s just her sweet little boy, who shouldn’t get involved with bad kind of girls, so it’s good that he doesn’t get involved with girls at all.
This, obviously, has damaged Rook’s social skills considerably. His main outlet is in fact the internet, where he has some friends, and where he plays games with other people the same way socially handicapped as he is. At school he does his best to keep out of everyone’s way, though he’d love to participate in activities there more. The only extra-curricular activity he’s active in is the chess club, where he’s the chairman (an unofficial one, at least) and the best player there, in fact. He has a slight crush on both Starlight and Bright Eyes, who attend the club as well, but it’s pretty much the same stage of a crush as he has on just about every girl in school. He’d never dare to make a move or say anything, though. He is sort of friends with two other guys in the chess club, but not enough to really hang out or anything. He doesn’t do much exercising outside the gym class in school, but not so much out of laziness as about a bit of a phobia for public places (and obviously team sports). birthplace: Meadowbrook

*whistles innocently and slips two more charries under the door inconspicuously* name: Toffee Sullivan nicknames (if any): - age: 18 type: earth gender: male body color: toffee brown hair color: black with dark chocolate stripes eye color: deep honey symbol: a toffee bar personality/temperament (how they act: quiet, daring, etc.): charming in an arrogant sort of way. Bit of a bad boy, has little respect for authorities but doesn’t really go directly looking for trouble, unless the temptation to play a joke on someone gets too high. Loves playing games; this is what makes his life interesting. Strong, almost macho type; won’t admit to being vulnerable easily. Is a tease when it comes to sexual behaviour. Won’t chase after girls; the way he sees it, women will come to him. Outgoing and easygoing. clothes: tight-fitting short-sleeved t-shirts or sleeveless shirts, snug jeans. Anything to show off his body. pets (if they have any): nope, unless you count his brother history: Toffee was born as the older of the two twins. This seems to reflect the way their relationship works. Toffee is the leader, Coffee the follower. When they were still kids, Toffee used to play tricks on others and arrange it so that Coffee was blamed. His parents never suspected anything, as Toffee always possessed the ability to appear to be a good boy. Since childhood, Toffee hasn’t bothered with pushing the blame on Coffee, but it still occurs sometimes that Coffee gets blamed for Toffee’s mischief, because Coffee appears to be a goof-up, whereas Toffee has made sure to give a good impression of himself. Toffee is used to being the coolest guy in school. He’s confident and has a hot body, and he knows it too. He’s used to getting any girl he lays his eyes on. He is used to instantly becoming the centre of everyone’s attention, and the idol everyone adores, and he has absolutely no problem with this. He only has a problem if he becomes ignored. This means that whenever competition arises, he will set to work to eliminate it. His love for playing games with relationships and emotions is his main reason for getting kicked out of several schools before this. Of course, as he is still good at manipulating others, he has never been caught red-handed doing anything, and mostly no one has been able to tell which of the twins is the main culprit in any given evil plot. Their parents have tried sending them to boarding schools, even, but they have got themselves expelled from every one of them. Now the twins’ parents are determined on starting a new life in a new town, hoping that this time they won’t cause too much trouble to be expelled. Toffee, of course, is looking forward to conquering new land, hearts and minds. birthplace: somewhere else other facts: he plays the guitar and has a good singing voice. name: Coffee Sullivan nicknames (if any): - age: 18 type: earth gender: male body color: coffee brown hair color: black with dark chocolate stripes eye color: deep brown symbol: a cup of coffee personality/temperament (how they act: quiet, daring, etc.): Coffee is a real tag-along. For most people, he appears like an extension of his brother Toffee, in the sense that he never seems to have any opinions or thoughts of his own. Or if he does, he doesn’t let on. He does everything his brother ever tells him, and of those who actually know what a bastard Toffee can be, he is the only one who believes that there is indeed some good in him. Coffee isn’t precisely shy or suffering of low self-esteem, but rather doesn’t like to put himself forth the way Toffee does. If he likes women, he doesn’t let on this either. He isn’t known to have yet dated anyone. Appears to join in on his brother’s games willingly. clothes: less sexy clothes than his brother, but still good-looking and stylish. pets (if they have any): none history: Coffee is the younger of the two twins, and as being mentioned in Toffee’s bio, the follower-type. He has always followed his brother, doing everything he’s told to do. Coffee loves his brother more than anything in the world, and the two of them have an extraordinary connection. Coffee will put Toffee above everything and everyone, even himself. He doesn’t see Toffee using him as much as he sees them sharing a special bond. He feels he needs to protect Toffee, and him taking the blame for all of Toffee’s mischief is one way he feels he has to do it. This is the way the relationship between the twins has gone on for ever since they were born. Even today, their parents are not sure which of the twins is more to blame for the trouble they get into. This is also why both the twins have always got expelled, instead of just one; the teachers can’t make up their minds which of them is the real evildoer, and hence they are forced to expel them both. Coffee still doesn’t mind. He is the perfect assistant for his brother. Never complaining, and always there. birthplace: somewhere else other facts: Coffee writes all the songs Toffee plays and sings though no one knows he does. They are arriving to town soon.

Oh yeah, and... I'm putting them to regulars for now, but they may be moved to temps. Maybe.
I just felt like having someone like Toffee to play around the school. He's loosely based on my first crush in high school. (Yesh, it's always the bad boys who get all the girls, isn't it?)

name: Bells Dean nicknames (if any): Bell(e) age: 18 type: earth gender: female body color: white chocolate hair color: dark purple that looks black with a purple sheen eye color: dark hazel symbol: black chiming bells personality/temperament (how they act: quiet, daring, etc.): if you need one word to describe Bells, it would probably be shrewd. She is manipulative and extremely intelligent and can usually keep a cool head no matter the situation. She can act well nearly any personality she chooses but mostly she keeps to the sweet girl act. Underneath, she is jealous, petty and vindictive. She doesn’t actively take part in scheming, but can be persuaded to help out others in their schemes. Her manipulative powers are mainly directed at arranging herself the kind of relationships she likes; mainly the kind of boyfriends she wants. She focuses on only one guy at any given time. The real catch of her personality is her fear of rejection, which she honestly is not conscious about. She is horribly possessive, and once she sets her mind on some guy, she won’t quit until she owns him – or else. She has destroyed a few boys for the sheer vindictiveness for being rejected or dumped, though this doesn’t happen often as she usually gets whomever guy she wants – only to dump them herself eventually. It is rare a boy who can hold her interest for long. She considers herself unconquerable – or used to, until Toffee came along. But more about that on her history.
clothes: sexy and mostly consists of miniskirts and tops. pets (if they have any): none
history: Bells lived in the town Toffee and Coffee moved to a year back. Her parents are of the rich end of the spectrum, so she has always lived a rather pampered life. Nothing dramatic has ever happened to her – or at least, hadn’t, until Toffee came along. Now, Toffee became the top dog in her school within the week of his arrival, and as she was the queen of her school, she absolutely had to have him. Unfortunately, Toffee was not to be owned. Bells soon found out she was in it over her head, and for the first time in her life did not get her way. Toffee would have her, yes, he slept with her and went out with her and hung out with her, but he would not be owned by her. He would flirt with other girls and go out with them as well, and though he did not dump Bells, he did not swoon over her, either. She fell into his web – and thus the chase began. She was obsessed with him. He did not flatly deny her or dump her, which would have led into her hating him, but instead he played with her, and it became a real game between the two.
This game was left resolved when Toffee’s parents moved again. Since then, Bells has been consumed by the need to go after Toffee. He has become an obsession to her. It is only now, after a full half a year since they met last, that she has managed to persuade her parents to allow her to move to Meadowbrook – which, as she heard from a letter Toffee wrote back to her, is his newest playground. Her parents have connections, and arranged for her a job at a fashion magazine, where she might practice her future career as a model. They paid for her apartment downtown, and continue to pay for all of her bills – and it is obvious that if her dream of becoming a model should fail, she would not be left on nothing. So her trip to Meadowbrook could be seen as simple vacation, as the rich girl who got bored to her old home moving out elsewhere to supposedly “try her wings”, when in truth she’s still just as dependent on her parents as before. This aspect does not bother her. What matters to her is the fact that she will continue her chase after Toffee – without guessing that his interest in her might have already faded. birthplace: somewhere else, in a fairly large city
