SUZANNE Name: Suzanne Artemis Williams
Gender: Female
Age: 17
» Birthday: February 15
Residency: Bristol, England
Appearance:
Description: Suzanne likes being better than others. Whether it be her general temper or her superb grades, she enjoys excelling in any way that she can. To say she is a bit of a perfectionist would be an understatement. She has incredibly high standards for herself and those who she keeps in her company for longer than necessary. Although she is the youngest in her family, she is the most responsible of her siblings. Every curl of her dark raven hair is placed in just the right way, her make-up is done with care and her clothing style outside of school is tasteful, but very reserved. She wears a pearl necklace that her parents gave to her on her tenth birthday almost every day. Suzanne doesn’t have many close friends and isn’t particularly close with any of her family members either. She despises her brother and tries to avoid him if she can. She is embarrassed by his carefree attitude and lack of responsible behavior. She is very unforgiving, but may be moved to clemency if she’s in a better mood. One’s first impression of Suzanne is usually that she is a lovely, very put together girl with a bright future. Someone in her generation, however, might think more along the lines of a perfectionist nut with a stick up her butt. Her build is about average slightly favoring a fuller body type. Her height is about five foot five. Her hair is long, dark, and wavy, her skin is very pale due to the fact that she spends the majority of her time indoors studying or rehearsing for choir. She has brilliant sky blue eyes that would be dazzling if they weren’t usually so icy. When she wears makeup, it consists of black mascara, light eye shadow, a hint of blush and pearly pink lip gloss. On special occasions she might do a smoky eye or wear some red lipstick. Although Suzanne may appear put together, she struggled with the eating disorder anorexia nervosa. It started when she was thirteen and her parents weren’t aware of the issue until she was fourteen when she became scarily thin and she had to start seeing a therapist. Her parents tried to keep the whole thing a secret. Suzanne got better physically, but the disease is something she still battles. This is something she is really ashamed of and doesn’t talk about to anyone outside of the family. She does keep a photo taken by her brother of when she was really sick to remind herself to be better. When it comes to boys and romance, Suzanne is incredibly awkward. She convinces herself not to worry herself too much about this, though because she figures that one day she’ll marry the son of another rich family for business reasons and she is perfectly fine with that.
Background: Suzanne comes from a family whose wealth depends on fashion. The Williams family controls a lot of the world’s fabric and textile production and trade. As a result of this, the family was very close to the world of fashion, often being invited to fashion shows, etc. Suzanne, the youngest of her family and the only girl was not always the strong-minded, confident girl that she is now. As a young girl she was rather chubby and as she got older, seeing so many beautiful starving models made her a bit self conscious to say the least. It also didn’t help that she didn’t have many friends other than her older brothers, who were usually busy with other things like school and chasing girls and being young and rich to bother with a newly teenage girl. The sickness took her for a while, starting when she was thirteen and continuing for a year until her brother, Peter, realized what was going on and convinced his parents to take action. It took another year of therapy to get her healthier again. Suzanne likes to believe that this part of her life is over now and she does her best not to acknowledge it. She’s been healthy for two years now, but she still has to remind herself to eat right sometimes. Aside from this, Suzanne had a very happy childhood. She considers herself privileged to life in such luxury, which is why she holds herself to such high standards. This is also part of the reason why she gets very frustrated with her brother for being so lax. Suzanne’s romantic history is very limited because she is really awkward around boys she likes and is unsure how to behave. Once, when she was ten, she had a birthday party and one little boy ran up and kissed her cheek. She ended up punching him in the face. The boy was a son of another wealthy family (in the business of diamonds and other gems) and her parents like to joke that he and Suzanne are going to get married one day. Since that day she has only seen him on two other occasions, where she is usually teased about her actions as a ten year old and she tries to avoid him for the rest of the night.
Relations:
» Richard Archibald Williams - Richard is Suzanne's fifty one year old father. He runs and manages the textile and fabrics company along with his wife, Rachelle.
» Rachelle Marie Williams - Rachelle is Suzanne's forty nine year old mother. She helps Richard run his business and manages family affairs and event planning.
» George Aether Williams - George is Suzanne's eldest brother. He is twenty four and recently graduated from law school and is interning around the country.
» Reginald Nyx Williams - Reginald is often called Nyx or "Reg" for short. Nyx is twenty two, the second eldest brother, and recently finished doing undergraduate work as a business major and is working at his parents' company so that he can take over whenever they decide to retire.
» Peter Apollo Williams - Peter is an eighteen year old senior at the Academy. He currently has no plans for college. He is Suzanne's older brother.
Other: Something you may have noticed is that Suzanne's middle name is Artemis and her brother Peter's middle name is Apollo. This is because she and her brother were born exactly a year apart and because her parents are greek mythology enthusiasts. You might also notice the rest of Suzanne's brothers have mythology related middle names. Suzanne's artistic outlet is through music and singing. She is in the choir at school and put a lot of time into practicing as though it were an actual class.
PETER Name: Peter Apollo Williams
Gender: Male
Age: 18
» Birthday: February 15
Residency: Bristol, England
Appearance:
Description: Peter is the most rebellious of his siblings. He doesn’t like following rules that he doesn’t agree with and can often be found skipping out on his classes. Since he is young and very rich, most don’t really bother reprimanding him for his behavior. All in all, he is rather likeable to most people. He is very friendly, flirty, and never minds lending someone an ear if there is something they want to talk about. He is almost always up for an adventure, which has gotten into some trouble more than once. It has even sent him to the hospital once. Peter is in excellent shape, participating in soccer and some other sports offered, he has an athletic build. He is roughly six foot two with dark brown wavy hair and suntanned olive skin. He has a long scar running from his right hip to the bottom of his right shoulder blade from an accident when he was fifteen. He has other smaller scars from more recent adventures, but none nearly as noticeable His eyes are a warm caramel brown that sometimes appear hazel in the right lighting. His voice is of a medium pitch, smooth, and very animated. He usually wears a bright easy smile that spreads across his whole face. As far as clothes, he wears his school uniform most days, though his tie is usually loosened or gone altogether. Outside of school he is a jeans and shirt kind of guy. His family doesn’t force him into nicer clothes because they know that whatever he wears will almost always end up muddied, torn, or burned. He looks very sharp in a suit if you ever get the opportunity to see him in one, though it only happens once every blue moon. One’s first impression of Peter is that he is a bit careless, free spirited, and always making the best of situations. As far as romance goes, Peter is very flirtatious, though he doesn’t have much experience with long term relationships. Thin girls scare him a bit because they remind him of Suzanne when her eating disorder was at it’s peak. Peter has his creative side and likes to draw and is learning to play the guitar, but is no genius by any means. He is somewhat the joke of the family because he is so aloof, but he loves his family in his own way and they all love him in their way.
Background: Peter had always been a lively child, never sitting still, constantly needing to be outside exploring something. He sometimes would recruit his sister Suzanne (at the time he had called her Suzie) for his little adventures when his older brothers were busy with other things like school and girls. He and Suzanne would explore every nook and cranny of the estate’s property to find the best hiding places, the best spots to find lady bugs, the right place to bury their father’s watch and remember where they had put it (they didn’t), where the prettiest flowers bloomed, etc. They were friends, but once Peter started going to school, even though he was only a year ahead of Suzanne, he made more friends. He made friends that were guys that would come over and want to play wrestling. Suzanne drifted away, though their relationship wasn’t really strained. When Peter turned thirteen, he discovered girls. A little later than some boys his age, but he made up for the lost time. At first he was a bit awkward, but he soon found a certain charm within him and a confidence that landed him his first kiss. He wasn’t a womanizer by any means, but he could actually talk to girls, which put him ahead of most other boys his age. When he was fourteen, he had his first girlfriend, though they only “went out” for about two months before they broke up (I put quote around “went out” because they weren’t actually dating. His parents said he couldn’t go on dates alone until he was sixteen. Until then, outings with his girlfriend had to be with chaperones or friends). After that he began seeing girls more casually, sneak out to go to the movies alone, etc. One day, Peter, some friends, and a girl he was trying to impress, went bike riding around town. Peter was trying to show off to everyone that he could ride his bike without using his. Needless to say, this ended badly and Peter ended up crashing through a shop window. As he went through, a broken piece of glass sliced his side deeply. He was rushed to the hospital in time, but he still has a long scar running from his right hip to the back of his right shoulder blade. His parents became increasingly strict, but that only encouraged him to be a lot more creative in sneaking around. Around the time he was fifteen he remembered noticing that Suzanne was looking really thin so he tried joking with her that she needed to start eating mayonnaise with a spoon and was met with cold, dead eyes that reminded him of zombie movies, her hair seemed to have thinned, and her skin seemed to be in bad condition. She flipped him the bird and stormed off to her room. He recalled other instances that hinted towards her disorder. He looked into it some more and was convinced of the disease. He alerted his parents and, at first, they were shocked and confused, thinking he was ridiculous. He told them about his research and his observations long enough to convince them that something was wrong. Once his parents took action, it still took a while for Suzanne to become more of herself. Peter realized that for a long time he pictured her as his gross little sister that he once convinced to eat a worm and that for years he was too busy with his own friends and adventures to notice how much she had changed over the years. After these incidents he became very wary, even unnerved by really skinny girls. He regrets growing apart from his sister, but thinks it was only a natural part of growing up. He still keeps an eye on her. Every now and then he’ll drop in on her and just bug her because even though they wouldn’t be good friends, he likes to remind her that they are related. As far as school goes, he was never really a model student and his professors are frustrated with him because when he actually applies himself, he performs excellently, but he has no passion for learning the material being taught. Peter does his best to not think about what he wants to do after he graduates even though his parents pressure him to think about it soon for the sake of applications. They’ve even had Suzanne and George lecture him about his future.

» Suzanne Artemis Williams Suzanne is a grade below Peter. She is his seventeen year old sister and is currently deciding what she wants to study in college.
Other: Peter can be very considerate when he wants to be. The problem is getting him to want to be considerate. Peter also has a major sweet tooth. When he raids the schools' kitchens at night, the leftover pastries are always the first to be taken. He knows his way in and out of just about every building at the school, when the janitors make their rounds, and the location of almost every security camera at the school. Peter can play the guitar a bit as well, so if he is trying to impress a girl he might play her a tune. His scar is irritated when the weather is going to be very rainy or really cold. He hates winter because of this and it puts him in a foul mood.
DEVName: Laine Devon McStafford
Gender: Female
Age: 17
» Birthday: March 5
Residency: New York, New York
Appearance:
Description: Dev is a very loud kind of person, the type to draw all the attention to herself when she walks into the room. Between her dark blue hair and tall, muscular but curvy figure, she isn't exactly the traditional picture of beauty, but almost no one would argue that she isn't pretty, with the possible exception of the large, uneven scars that run across her back. She has pale skin, with bright blue eyes and dark, thick eyelashes. She has slanted eyebrows and ears that stick out just a bit too much, she would count that as her worst feature. She almost always wears a pair of gloves and a lip stud, although the only piercings she actually has are on her ears. Her speaking voice is fairly high pitched, but when she sings her voice is classified as 'alto'. She stands at six feet tall, and walks like it, with a long, confident stride. Contrary to this height, she is petite, looking very small, although she weighs a fair bit, one hundred and eighty pounds. Dev does not appear overly muscular, but she is, having studied both dance and martial arts since she was a young child, specializing in ballet, ballroom dance and karate. One of the things that annoys her the most is when people underestimate her, and she is never hesitant or afraid to prove them wrong. Dev has a very 'all in' type of personality, and when she commits to something she'll stick with it until the end. She is very good at subjects like science and English, but not so much math. Dev loves to talk and just be around people, and likes to be performing, the centre of attention. She's very loud, and even on the rare occasion when she isn't trying to bring attention on herself, people still look at her anyways. She's very friendly and a loyal friend, but that means that she isn't close with a large number of people, to avoid drama. She hates over-dramatic situations, especially when girls start arguing and blaming everything on the person they don't like.
Background: Dev was born to parents Adelaide and Brandon McStafford on an unusually hot March day, at twelve o’clock noon exactly. She had a fine, easy life for the first five years. Her family had lots of money, and they got her everything she wanted. When she was about to turn six, however, her family and home underwent a disaster. Dev’s mother accidentally left her curling iron on, in her bathroom, on a towel. After they had gone to sleep, the towel caught on fire, which quickly spread. Covering Adelaine and Brandon’s room first, the couple were barely awakened by the fire alarms in time to grab a few things, such as important documents, and get out. Then they called the fire department and realized: Their daughter was still in the house. Hand in hand, Dev’s parents ran back into the house, suffering extreme burns on their way up the stairs. Luckily for Dev, her room was on the opposite side of the mansion from her parents, so she was spared from the worst of the fire. Her parents shielded her from the fire with their bodies, and managed to get out of the house. While Dev was, for the most part, okay, and survived, her parents were not so lucky. Burns such as the ones they suffered along with smoke inhalation caused them to pass away in the hospital later that night. Dev suffered heavy second-to-third degree burns across her back, and still has scarring there today. After the fire she inherited all of her family’s money, and that, along with herself, was and is taken care of by her grandparents.
Relations:
» Lucille Raven McStafford - Dev's grandmother. She became one of Dev's guardians after her parent's death.
» Henry McStafford - Dev's grandfather. He became one of her guardians after her parent's death.
» Faith Rowlins - Dev's other grandmother. She lives in England, and was too far away to help out after the death of her daughter.
» George Rowlins - Dev's other grandfather. He lives in England, and was too far away to help out after his daughter's death.
» Alianne Brigitte McStafford - Dev's artistic aunt. She's one of the only people who's encouraged Dev to do what she wants and not what's practical, so Dev looks up to her greatly, and she helped raise Dev.
» Raymnond Wallace McStaffors - Dev's uncle. He played a large role in helping Dev's grandparents raise her.
» Adelaide Hayley McStafford - Dev's mother. She died shortly after their house fire.
» Brandon McStafford - Dev's father. He died shortly after their house fire.
Other: Because of the accident, Dev is a bit of a neat freak, and keeps everything she owns extremely organized.
