Girl #7 - She's got it all together, really. She works in a local campaign office for (insert cause here) and is really good at her job. She is going to be a lawyer someday, which shows because she can get anyone to agree with her given ten minutes (and maybe a glass of beer.) It's a trademark skill, really. She hangs out mostly with boy four, who she considers to be her intellectual equal. Actually, he's agreed to be her sperm donor to produce genius babies (see, she gets anyone to agree!) if all else goes wrong.

flaky	TYLER PARKER boy one Self destructive boy with something of a Peter Pan syndrome. He's friendly and is in the center of everything. However, he has a significant drug problem, and won't admit that. He lives with a younger brother who is possibly the gayest gay man know to gaykind (boy 8). Well. That's what Boy One says, anyhow. Hangs out with girl 4 (his ex!!) an awful lot, crashes at her place when there's no one else who will take him after his rent money runs out. (20, non-student, native)
purient	JESSE VAUGHN boy two Jo likes Jesse. He volunteers and helps her out when she asks, and they really do get along, despite their differences. It's his relationship with Freddy that complicates things for her - as her best friend, Jo is always for Freddy and against anyone that makes him unhappy. She doesn't really understand the intricacies of whatever's going on between them, but she hopes they work out their issues, because she doesn't like having to side against Jesse, either.
manscape	DUKE KAPLOWITZ boy three He's rich as fuck but lives somewhere crappy. He could buy your mom. He also spends a lot of his time with the lower class. That's who he happens to go to school with. He tries to pretend he's not wearing designer underwear, but he totally is. He is rich despite anything he tries to prove otherwise, but he goes to extremes like working in a public library and volunteering for every organisation known to mankind. Sort of like undercompensation. (20, student, Moved from NYC @ 15)
stellars	FREDDY WILLIAMS boy four Best friends since middle school, Jo and Freddy are perfect for each other, and they're aware of it. They're also aware that though they love each other madly, it isn't the kind of love that romantic relationships are made of. That's okay. Freddy is one of the only people Jo has met who can not only keep up with her, but meet her match for match, and he's therefore the only person that she regards as an intellectual equal. As a friend, he's more than an equal - he's something of an ideal to her. Nobody even comes close to touching her devotion to him, making it one of the most selfless relationships she has.
myglorydays	ERIC PAULSON boy five Jo was an overactive overachiever in high school, and it got her made fun of a fair amount. She doesn't really hold it against Eric; insults have never done much to Jo's self-perception. She does hold a grudge against people who pick on her bff, though. As such, she doesn't exactly seek out his company.
stalkery	SAMUEL RUKAVINA boy six He is quiet. He sits in corners and hangs around boy seven, who has been his dearest friend for years. It's a huge surprise when he actually speaks and comes up with the most witty things to say out of any of them. Sometimes in foreign languages, depending on the day. He knows at least two of these. He's smart, and everyone knows that, but he doesn't test very well which is why he's stuck in community college where he is trying to meet girls but ends up sort of stalking them instead. He isn't creepy. He thinks... (19, community college student, native)
negligible	KEEGAN KRAKOSKI boy seven Illnesses beget drugs, drugs beget illness, as Boy Seven has found out. A long time ago. He has OCD and depression. But he's learned that certain illicit substances help. Sadly, that means he always seems to be bouncing back and forth between rehab and a psychiatric facility. On the outside, he obviously appears perfectly normal. Well. When he's on his meds and in a clean phase. Otherwise, his sympotms become clear. His friends all like him anyway. Especially his long time best friend, boy six. (19, non student, native)
thursty	THURSTON PARKER boy eight From what Boy One (his older brother) seems to say, boy eight is the most ridiculously flamboyant gay man ever to come across planet earth. But the thing is,he's not. At all. Actually he's pretty normal. Or, he would be, if his older brother would finally grow up. But he hasn't yet. So boy eight isn't holding his breath. They live together if only because boy eight doesn't know what would happen if he moved away. As it is, he goes to school to get out of town while working in the same fast food joint as girl 8 because it's a job, and boy one isn't getting money anytime soon. (18, community college student, native)
boy nine	NAME boy nine Boy nine reached his peak about five years ago at age 15 when his band from high school won battle of the bands and his drumming career set off sky-high. Well. He thought it would, anyway. In reality, he wasn't as good as he thought, and he ended up never leaving Ewing. He's still trying to find projects, though, and break into the industry. No one but agents have the guts to tell him that it isn't the climate. It's him. He's not so talented. (20, nonstudent, moved from somewhere else at age 2)
takethemickey	MICHAEL RATTLING boy ten Jo thinks Mickey is fantastic, even if she doesn't understand all his sci-fi references and stuff. He's clever and intellectual and a hard worker, and Jo can definitely appreciate all of the above, while being unfazed by his nerdiness. His lack of confidence in his own abilities makes her sad, but since she isn't unfamiliar with the fear of failure, she has no problem helping him out however he needs, whether it's tutoring him when he doesn't really need it or talking him into sleeping a little this week.
courtois	ÉLÉANOR COURTOIS girl one A foreign exchange student from France, this whole American experience is rather quaint and new to her. Her English is not so good. She misses boulangeries and smoking-friendly cafes. She hates that everyone expects her to wear Chanel and Prada every day and wishes they would actually pay attention to her and not her somewhat exotic heritage, since getting asked "Voulez-vous couchez avec moi?" on a daily basis from stumbling, giggling boys is not her idea of attractive. (19, student, French foreign exchange)
ineptly	BLANCHE WALLACE girl two She still doesn't know why having the Dark Knight memorized front to back doesn't make her sexy. She really does want a boyfriend, but she thought (thanks to a brother's genius idea) that getting to know boys through shared interests was key. But the boys don't actually like that. And in a stunning twist of fate, everyone sort of thinks she's a lesbian now. But she's not. She's just painfully socially impaired, bad at expressing herself, and really likes overalls sometimes. Since when was that a crime? (20, community college student, native)
alphabetical	NOEL BROOKS girl three She is what we call the brains of the organization. She is smart, gets straight A's, is anorexic...oh yeah, ha.She's a ballerina and competition is stiff enough that she has restricted her eating drastically. But she keeps it really hidden and doesn't advertise it. But it should be super obvious thanks to the fact that she looks like a skeleton half the time. Trust issues=she has. She tutors Boy Five, which is really interesting, actually. Because she thinks he's awful...which is true. She also hangs out with the boys because drugs help her. (19, student, moved from Colorado @ 16)
playingmother	MALLORY JONES girl four This is the mom of the group. She used to hang out with the rather crazier group of boys in middle school when she decided they needed a guiding light. And she hasn't stopped, not even after a messy breakup with boy one. She has problems of her own. She lives alone trying to pay the bills and tries to go to school part time as well. It's hard, but she somehow balances this and everyone else's shit on her shoulders quite nicely. She hangs out with Boy One a lot mostly to ensure his continued existence. They have an unspoken understanding they can crash at each others' places if the heat goes out. But she tells MOST of her secrets to Girl Five who's sort of never taken her bullshit about not needing help with anything. (20, community college student, moved from...no one really knows at 10)
duuude	AVERY VON TALLESAN girl five While Jo was knocking out some general education science requirements in community college over the summer, Avery was retaking the classes she'd failed. They ended up lab partners in Bio 101, and thus began a beautiful...something. Jo is mostly amused by Avery; the girl is dumb, but somehow she can't hate her for it - though she definitely does a lot of laughing behind her back. Jo helped Avery pass bio, Avery persuaded Jo to get out and let loose now and then, having her tag along to whatever party their study time was cutting into.
girl six	NAME girl six Her dad likes the fact that she's a swimmer. No, seriously, that's the one thing she knows about her life. She is a swimmer, eats, sleeps and breathes it. Or well. Used to. She isn't professional. And she's doing it for her dad. She hopes they'll pull a Michael Phelps on her and catch her with a bong sometime. That'd be cool. Easy going when she's not being forced to be ~athletic,~ she also is the ex of one (YOU CAN PICK) of the boys! Things are okay. Mildly awkward, but ok. (19, non student, native)
girl eight	NAME girl eight It's sad, but it's true. One of the few reasons she has friends is that she works at (insert fast food restaurant here.) She spends a lot of the rest of her time feeding her fish, riding her bicycle, and doing various other really lonely activities. She also runs a dating website for students, but she hasn't come clean about that to friends in the world yet, since she doesn't make money and it's more embarrassing than entrepreneurial right now. Especially since her own profile is (tragically) neglected. (20, community college student, moved from a nearby place at age 3)
figs	BETHANY SINGLETON girl nine She is sort of off the tracks. She attended a very prestigious private school where she got okay grades, but one life tragedy after another has led her down a path that she wouldn't choose again. She's been in and out of drug treatment facilities, and didn't go to college because she could no longer even pretend she was going to get in. Her parents weren't THAT rich. Genuinely a pretty okay person, she tries constantly to get clean and sober, and to do that, she pretends she's still the girl from St. Mary's (or whatever.) But she isn't fooling anyone. (19, nonstudent, native)
stcier	CORAL ST. CIER girl ten She is literally everyone's best friend. She's sunny and happy and sweet. And she's high about ninety percent of the time. She is infamous for her (delicious!) special brownies, and she is quite popular with the school's population for selling these. At bake sales for the French club. She isn't a dealer, exactly, but she's only about a step down and she thinks it might be awesome to get her own little business started soon. She isn't a hippie since she hates dirty things, but she's very into natural food and if her marijuana business doesn't take off, she can always go into the sale of other organic things. Like vegetables. (20, student, moved from Seattle at -insert age-)
