Faded yellow tshirt with a rainbow on it, green cordorouy 1970’s bell-bottoms, feathered blonde hair and a roller rink. [name_f]Chrissy[/name_f] is a popular girl with a little bit of a tomboy edge to her. [name_m]John[/name_m] Mellancamp, blue collar farmland and an all-American small town girl. Lost innocence, high-school sweethearts, divorced parents. [name_f]Chrissy[/name_f] is smart in school and sees it as her way out. Bittersweet. Kind. Faded photographs. Nostalgia.
A leather jacket, a smoking habit, a cocky demeanor and a guarded mind. Led [name_m]Zeppelin[/name_m] III, a healthy [name_u]Bowie[/name_u] addiction, a love of Vonnegut and [name_m]Orwell[/name_m] too. Super smart, but devil-may-care, fire-bred orange and the rich red of independence. Vintage car, strangely good at cooking, everyone loves him but very few close friends. I’m thinking [name_u]Jess[/name_u] [name_m]Mariano[/name_m] mixed with [name_u]Shawn[/name_u] [name_u]Hunter[/name_u] mixed with a little [name_m]Sirius[/name_m] [name_m]Black[/name_m] too.
A very pretty girl seen as daft and empty-headed, yet is very intelligent. She’s a brilliant astronomer and mathematician in the making. She’s independent and strong-willed, always standing up for other people. She works two jobs to save for college and puts a lot of time into both her studies and her appearance.
Vance [name_m]Peter[/name_m] is a slim, dark-haired male in his early twenties. He wars black and gold, typically. He has a slow smile and an almost elfish face. He makes others laugh more than he laughs himself.
Ambrose [name_m]Lysander[/name_m] [name_u]Claude[/name_u] is deep red, the grey-blue of overcast [name_u]November[/name_u] mornings. A mansion full of books, a mystery doused in fog, a penchant for decadent parties and a reputation both lighter than day and darker than night. Vain philosophy, pale blue opinions, and dove feather cushions.
Enza [name_f]Alouette[/name_f] is ballet slippers, [name_u]French[/name_u] cafes, soft music and espresso. It is quiet and bright like a sunrise over the fresh fallen snow in a secluded cabin on the mountain. It is modge podge, glitter, and crazy cut out scissors that combine to make something elegant not messy.
Ambrose [name_m]Adonis[/name_m] is an oil painting with dark, yet rich colors. It is velvet lined hallways with gold accents. It is a bowl of pasta with vibrant sauce and steam rising up. A strong, regal man. Clean-shaven, dark brown hair, square jaw. [name_u]Gray[/name_u], three-piece suits, and shoe polish. [name_m]Long[/name_m], black leather couches with fluffy pillows.
(I like how I just called this name a bowl of pasta!)
Halle [name_f]Sofia[/name_f] is pale pink and deep magenta, glittering spectacles and hidden genius. Dreamy summer days, reckless summer nights. A house on the coast, a life of dinner parties, but she’s an excellent cook. The brilliant warmth of early evening, a deftly planned girls trip, lightness and darkness and everything in between.
Wavy brunette hair with golden highlights framing his face, topaz eyes, bronzed skin and freckles. A stolen kiss at sundown in [name_u]August[/name_u] cornfields, or between the rows of an old library with light filtering in from stained glass windows. [name_u]Crimson[/name_u] and saffron, old soul, new edge.
I picture a young woman, [name_f]Cressida[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] has bleach blond wavy hair, pale skin, and grey eyes. I also picture a magical kingdom, with rolling green hills, handsome princes, and beautiful sunsets.
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Menaal[/name_f] is gentle and beautiful, an open countryside on a summer’s morning. It is soft and strong, like fresh linen on a clothesline in the daytime and perfectly tailored silk in the evening. A wonderful friend, a hopeful and light soul with a brilliant future.
[name_f]Mercedes[/name_f] [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] talks about memes and TikToks too often. She collects vinyls and calls herself an “art girl”. She cuts her own hair. She wants to be a girl band, even though she doesn’t play any instruments or sing. She always knows how to make her friends laugh.
[name_u]Joseph[/name_u] [name_m]Esteban[/name_m] is warm yellows, oranges and greens. He has curly hair, deep smile lines and is always close to laughter. I get images of a cozy café full of plants and pillows, and the smell of fresh coffee wafting through the air.
[name_f]Clarissa[/name_f] [name_f]Hope[/name_f] is sweet like a strawberry. She never feels good enough. She always puts her friends before herself. She is a deep thinker and articulate speaker. She has a beautiful outlook on life and is doing her best. She is tall and pale with hazel eyes and warm, strawberry blonde hair.
[name_m]Albert[/name_m] [name_u]William[/name_u] is an older retired gentleman. He loves his wife, his children, and his grandchildren very much so. He has an expansive library and has a knack at recommending everyone the perfect book. He is a little formal and sometimes stiff, but he also has a quick and dry sense of humor. He has grey hair, a thick moustache, and glasses.
[name_u]Kennedy[/name_u] [name_u]Anne[/name_u] is rich blues and whites, hydrangeas and summers on the Cape. She is the only daughter of an overbearing mother, something of a mean girl, but really just an earnest leader still figuring out the best way to rebel against her life. She wants to be a journalist, but knows she will be a housewife, and the best years of her life will be those she spends at college.
