just look at that social clique
do you really want to be the star of it?

you know about the malindas right? for you newbies out there, the malindas are my characters & they're all related. there are step-sisters/brothers, tons of cousins, and a whole lot of relatives in this family. i am so not planning on ending the family because it just wouldn't be the same. plus, then i'll take hours trying to figure out the new family's name. let's just save myself the trouble & stick with the malindas. i constantly have charries in mind but not enough to make them all in once. so, while i keep on posting my ideas of charries, i'll need you, yes you, to help me decide which one you want me to make. that's usually the problem i have - i don't know who to make. so, can you guys help me out? psh, of course you will.

that's usually the only help i really ask for, but every now and then, choosing the order of my characters won't be the only thing i need help with. i might need some ideas for names or maybe what face to use for a charrie i have in mind. v-side seems to know everything & usually chooses things that turn out to be great so i'm trusting you guys. if you do..i might just have to release mojo on you. enough of me talking, because i know you guys are tired of it. let's check out these characters made by your very own v-side cookie. *cough* oh & lyrics above are from cute is what we aim for. lyrics from thread by boys like girls. *cough*

madeline "maddie" malinda
i've never been the kind you would call lucky
always stumblin' around in circles

• personality, interests, & stuff •

maddie malinda. she's the girl that just adores cooking and baking, but feels that it's the only thing she's good at. maddie has never been the kind of girl that has good things happening to her. sometimes people say it's luck, while other say that it's just how she is. it's not that she's unlucky, but it seems like, whatever she does, something always goes wrong - always. her love for baking & making things began as a young girl. it seemed to be the only thing that she was good at. the only thing where maddie wouldn't mess anything up. to be honest, she was pretty good at it. when you're baking things, you use a timer so the food won't turn out bad. maddie, however, just seems to know when things are done. it's just a feeling she has in herself & when she takes out something she's baking, it's usually perfect. not needing to be in the oven more & not burnt. considering how not a lot of good things happen to her, maddie loves baking.

her parents used to own a restaurant & that's how maddie learned everything. although she likes baking desserts & things like that, she still knows how to make really good meals. forget restaurants- maddie can cook her own meals without spending as much money as all those other families do. outside of cooking, maddie doesn't feel like she's good at anything. like mentioned before, it's not that she's unlucky..just unfortunate. she's extremely clumsy, but when serving people, she seems to be different. most of the time though, she's tripping over air and accidently hurting people. she also snorts in her laughs when she's nervous & really worries when she does something wrong. now onto her love life. oh boy, it has never turned out that well. maddie has just never been good with relationships. sometimes it's not her & sometimes it is.

with guys, maddie just likes the weird ones. of course, the weird ones don't usually seem weird at first. they seem pretty normal. you know, the kind that are funny, cute, sweet, and just simply great guys. so what's the problem? well, maddie always goes out with those kind of guys. nobody is surprised & her friends are always happy that she picks the right guy. but those guys always end up engaged, married, in another relationship, and sometimes even gay. doesn't that stink? if the guy doesn't have anything like that wrong with him, there's usually some kind of problem. maddie isn't picky nor does she have high requirements for boyfriends, but there's always something wrong with the guys she likes.

overall, maddie isn't shy or super sweet, but she isn't a bitch either. the girl just has a lot of problems in her life & absolutely zero confidence when it comes to meeting guys. she isn't the serious type though & enjoys having fun. she's can be a little childish at times, but she knows when to be serious. it's not like she knows that she's acting childish. it's juts a part of her personality, but luckily, the girl knows when people are not in the mood for fun. she's pretty good with kids too, but never likes to babysit. it's not like it's a problem or anything - she just likes playing with kids instead of having to take care of them & having to watch every single move they make.

• history & everything else i forgot to mention •

since the personality turned out a lot longer than i expected, let's go on to history - and make it a lot shorter. so, let's see.. she was born in france but only lived there for a little bit before moving to the states. maddie has one sister that was adopted & step-sister. they'll hopefully be living in valkyrie soon. as a kid, maddie was very fun to be around. she was getting popular & was on her way to be really known around school. many people knew her [or knew about her] when she didn't even know them. she was getting popular - something that many girls wanted to be. things in her life was good & baking was never a real hobby. she just did it every now and then but liked shopping and hanging out with friends more than anything else.

during freshman year, everything went downhill. maddie had to move to valkyrie, and so she did. the girl had to start all over & it really wasn't hard. she was a big quiet at frist but found this clique that accepted her. it was a group of girls that everyone wanted to be - everyone that was a female freshmen or sophomore at least. so, when maddie got accepted, she felt pretty good. her so called 'friends' weren't the greatest yet everyone still wanted to be in the group. maddie would feel so guilty because they would be so horribly mean to some students & she just had to stand there and watch. it happened all the time but maddie didn't even do anything about it - but she certainly really wanted to.

so, one day, she stood up for everyone. one or two girls in the group backed her up but that wasn't enough. everyone else was too scared to face the main leader of the group. soon enough, maddie & that girl that helped her was thrown out of the group, but she was okay with that. who wanted to be with them, right? well, they started picking on maddie. she was the victim of most of their little jokes & it was like they were never ever friends before. maddie's high school experience was horrible & that's probably when she started baking. it was something that just calmed her down when she was angry or upset & it's always good to have some chocolate when you're not feeling the greatest. maddie didn't become a loner or anything. she still had some friends, but high school was horrible.

you could only imagine how happy she was to graduate. the girl had gotten better at cooking but her love life is just a mess. she began her freshman year at the university not too long ago & is hoping that her life would get better. okay, not for the basic info that i should have probably mentioned in the beginning but forgot to. she's nineteen year old, freshman in the university, a girl if you haven't figured it out yet, & is portrayed by mandy moore. more character info things will be coming to a post near you!

eduardo "eddie" malinda
now she wants me & i ain't going
home solo, 'cause i lean like a cholo

• personality, interests, & stuff •

eddie is definitely an interesting person. not 'interesting' as he's pretty cool & has done a lot of things other people haven't. actually, he's not cool at all. he's pretty much a dork. a dork his entire life & still is during his senior year of high school. okay, maybe dork isn't the right word for him. he's more of a...wangster [wannabe gangster] the boy may want to be gangster, but he's most likely never going to be one. he's just well, too innocent. he's not a perfect angel, but the guy is too good to be a gangster. he gets good grades, secretly studies for things and he doesn't do drugs. he may drink, but that's only when he's trying to be cool. to be honest, he hates drinking. the taste of booze just doesn't taste good to him, but he's not tell anyone that.

the way he dresses may be a part of why he can't be a gangster. sometimes he'll dress very nice and appropriate for school. when he dresses himself with baggy pants and the 'bling' around his neck, the guy just looks plain out weird. he'll be like, "yo. what up my homies? you want to ride with me to the carnival?" yeah, that's him. believe it or not, that's not the weirdest attempt even being gangster that eddie has done. the guy isn't desperate, but when you look at him, he really does look like he just wants to be cool. he thinks it's only his relatives that think he's soo not gangster, but other than them, eddie thinks that everyone in the school thinks he's a really cool guy. somebody really needs a reality check...quick.

the guy also gets guilty super easily. he tries not to do anything bad because then he won't be able to sleep for nights. if he..let's say...passed notes in class because a substitute was boring, eddie would feel bad for 'taking advantage' of the teacher since he/she wasn't paying attention. in movies and television shows, you'll see that when people have to make a hard decision, an angel and a devil will appear on their shoulders. usually the angel wins, but not always - that's not the point though. when eddie has to make a touch decision, there's not angel or devil involved at all. nope. instead, it's himself, dressed like batman and the riddler [sometimes it's joker, but most of the time, it's riddler]. batman usually wins because eddie doesn't want to do bad things.

comic books is always a favorite of eddie's and he enjoys going to things that not many people his age likes to go to. of course, he won't admit it and say that he was doing some girl, but most of the time, it's not true - and most of the time, nobody believes him. he may say, "i was having some fun on my bed with a friend" and make it sound like he had sex, but usually, it was him just talking to a friend about superheroes or something stupid. he's a nice guy to be honest, but will 'act' like he's one bad boy. he'll help people, but tell his friends that he was doing something else. eddie has regular friends that share his true interests, but eddie also has fake friends that don't care about him. they just think he's an entertaining guy and someone that they can boss around.

summer malinda
you can't wait to fall in love with me
this just can't be summer love, you'll see

• personality, interests, & stuff •

i'm assuming that you guys already know what i need help with. for those who can't see the image above, i need a celebrity face for my summer malinda. as you have noticed, most of my charries are nice - which can get boring when all of them is the same. the meanest charrie i have? i'm not sure. maybe bee? anyways, i was thinking that i needed to switch of my charries a little bit & i think i'm going to make a bitch. who am i kidding? i am going to make a bitch. there we go, that sounds much better..kind of. i think i'm going to need some tips and help when roleplaying her because honestly, i'm not sure how to be a bitch. so everyone that has a bitchy charrie [i'm thinking of certain charries right now, hehe] help me out. please? =P

i'm thinking that she'll be an actress/model. i'm leaning more towards model because that just seems more fit for her. so, if anyone knows any pretty models out there [real life, people] please post them so i can try to figure out who to use for summer. it would totally help out a lot. summer won't be the nicest girl, obviously. she's the kind that doesn't like getting dirty & can be a drama queen at times. the girl won't really care about you if you're a nobody & she's not the kind of girl that you can just walk up to & be friends with. that is, unless you're a really hot guy or you know the same interests as her. she judges pretty quickly so either you look really good at first, or try to get her attention after. she might be nice to you if you get her some drinks or do some stuff for her though.

drama is absolutely one of her favorite things as long as she's not involved with it. she'll stand up for her friends, but sometimes she won't. does she sleep around? i'm still trying to figure that out too, but the answer is most likely going to be yes. i really need help finding a model-ish celeb face to sue because then it will help me decide everything. i'm not good figuring out what my charries are going to be like if i don't know what they're face will be so help me out & i'll love you forever. even if i don't use the face you chose, i'll still love you for trying to help. obviously i need to get a lot of things figured out because most things are undecided.

• history & everything else •

meet summer malinda, the girl who came to valkyrie from -i will decide the place once i know the celeb face- when she was -i'll decide the age once i know the face-. she was just going on a walk with her family one day as a young girl when this woman approached her & after that, everything happened. she became a model and - wait, let's go back a bit. summer was such a sweet little girl. the kind that was too good to be true. sure, sometimes she'll do something bad but then she'll punish herself & you'll feel sorry for the little girl. she was so cute & adorable and that's how she made friends. her parents were really proud of her & she was just that little girl that many other kids in the neighborhood would play with.

but after that day when she was discovered, summer started to change. at first, she did everything herself & didn't order people around. the girl started getting really busy though & didn't have time for doing little things, so she started asking people to do stuff for her. that's just how all it started. after that, summer started getting more bossy. she was constantly telling people to do this & that and her friends were drifting away as she made friends just like her. she had to have everything perfect & didn't usually admit it if she was wrong. the girl started getting fed up with people doing things wrong so she started insulting her 'helpers' & figured out that it made them do things well since they didn't want to be insulted again. summer didn't ever get any sweeter or anything like that. she's just a working young girl.

why did she go from the glamorous life of modeling to valkyrie? well, it's not like she wanted to go, but she had no choice. yes, no choice. remember what i had said about summer standing up for her friends? well, there was this one guy who kept insulting her friends & her and she couldn't take it. he wasn't even good enough to be talking to her like that. so, her friends took him to this place where there weren't many people around. he was already super drunk so it wasn't hard. they covered his eyes & disguised their voice while they humiliated him. he was tied to a chair, but the girls didn't do anything horrible. they soon left, leaving him them, but loosen the ropes just so he could get out eventually.

the guy got out, but apparently, they hadn't covered his eyes well enough. he managed to see them just as they left. well, actually, the only person he saw was summer. he told people & the girl was in big trouble for kidnapping & a bunch of another things. she wouldn't rat out her own friends even though she really wanted to - it wouldn't do anything good. fortunately, she had a really good lawyer, and it was decided that the girl either go to valkyrie & clean her act up or go to juvie. what do you think she picked? valkyrie, of course. although the girl is suppose to live in the Shaks with her step-sister maddie, she managed to get herself in with the Malindas in the Valks. Because come on, Shaks? Puh-lease. Was she really going to clean up her act? Not a chance.

Let's continue this life of partying, drinking, sex & a lot more.

[Haley Summers]

I really have no idea's for your PB, I'm sorry. I'm so bad with the model types. all the girl pbs I can think of right now are ones that are a bit more down to earth in appearance.

But I just found some icons and pics from when Liz did a guest spot on that 70's show and she and Eddie will have to plot

[Min-Sook Park]

so, i made maddie a few days ago, so if you want to roleplay with her, just say so :] i think i'm making my wilmer charrie next, but i can't be sure. if you haven;t noticed yet, i have zero muse so my threads are collection dust while i'm having no luck with forcing a post out. btw, anna, those icons are so funny. haha. we'll also have to roleplay maddie & zack.

Lily the Cookie<3

[Shay Anderson]

you better get some of that muse back, missy. because VA isn't the same without the Malinda's, and v-side def. ain't the same without our favorite Cookie. <3 anyways.

as always, I love them all. I so want to plot with maddie because I just love her xD I've been thinking about making a chef character for awhile now. so that could be fun. all of your charries are amazing, and they just keep getting more amazing.
as for summer, we could always use another bitch. xD and roleplaying them can be a lot of fun, ask Leah. I like the model thing too, because she would be fun with Kiran. hehe. as for her PB - I think a model would be good. xD a VS Angel is better, because she'll have a bazillion photos with Bailey, Kiran and - hopefully - Jade. so woo.

• ana beatriz barros. - she and Ale [Kiran's PB] are like, best friends. xD
  
• melissa miller - the newest VS angel has photos with both Bailey and Kiran.
  
• Gisele. just because she's fun.
  
• Karolina Kurkova.
  
• Selita Ebanks.
  uhmmm...
  
• Kate Moss?
  
• Nicole Richie. did I spell that right? xD
  some non-models?
  
• I dunno, lmao. uh...Jennifer Morrison? Leighton Meester [her RPer isn't too active xD]. Dania Ramirez person...from Heroes. xD
  yeah, bad with PBs. n_n
  
  anyways, yeah. love them all, and totally call plotting with you again. =]
  

[Min-Sook Park]

my muse is still gone, but i think it may be coming back because i was able to force out a post. that's a start, right? i'm thinking of deleting aaron since he's been boring since i've made the guy. i might replace him with eddie, but i'll do that a little later. asia, thanks for the list. i was thinking about using ana beatriz barros, but i wasn't so sure about it. i can't believe i didn't think of gisele though! she was kiran's first face/portrayal. those are the two i've narrowed it down too, but idk. i might use one of them & i might find someone else. it's going to be a while before i make summer anyways, so as long as those two don't get taken, i'm happy. heh.

Lily the Cookie<3

[Min-Sook Park]

okay, just some stuff i need help deciding so if my va peeps can help me out, it would he very helpful (:

• keep faith kodi malinda (amanda bynes charrie) here or not? she has been boring & the only thing that is keeping her here is the fact that she's named faith kodi, and that i didn't want to ruin the plots i had with lulu. but what if i deleted her after that plot?

• okay, so i haven't posted info on him yet, but what do you guys think of a conceited orlando bloom charrie?

• still make eddie malinda (wilmer valderrama) or not? i love him so much, but there are like, zero pics of him. at least zero pics that i can find.

• do you love me?
haha, just kidding about that question.

so, pppplllllleeeeeeeeaaaaasssssseee help me!

Lily the Cookie<3

[chace]

well, i could always help you out with faith kodi. : D. just let me know if you have any ideas for a plot, i'll most likely agree.

but yes, conceited orlando sounds good. maybe he gets his ass kicked by..by..wilbert. : D. that'd be fun.

and eddie HAS to be made, so he and my rapper character can have a 'yo momma' battle.

and i'm not being any help here. again.

[/blockquote][/font]

[Nina Suresh]

Alrighty I'll quickly go through your dot point thingos.

1. Hmm, well I love Amanda Bynes and Faith is awesome but if she hasn't got much then maybe after the plot she has, perhaps let her go. unless you find a plot for her.

2. a conceited orolando bloom charrie would be awesome! i'm not much help on this question haha.

3. hmm well wilmer valderrama does seem tricky to find pictures for but i suppose how much you want to use him and if you would be find using the limited pics you can find.

4. haha duh of course i love you. =D

I hope I helped a little haha.

[athenarhodes]

• i never roleplayed with faith, and i love amanda bynes. it's a tough decision, so i can't really choose for you. sometimes you just need to wait awhile before a character gets exciting, you know? (:

• conceited orlando bloom? hot.

• eddie would make a great addition, but i understand the picture problem. i pretty much will never make a character that doesn't have a decent photo gallery or icon selection. so i know how you feel.

• well of course, haha.

[/font][/blockquote][/blockquote]

[Peter Fischer]

* I don't know honestly. Big help I am. You know, sometimes the Applications are far more fun than the actual character (i.e. Doug, the weird twins I made, Jacob) and as much as you love them sometimes it's best to let them go. But like chels said, other times they just take awhile to get cranking. I almost deleted Mark once upon a time and now look, he's one of my favorites. I guess it's just what you feel is best. Don't feel obligated to keep her because of someone else.

* Conceited Orlando Bloom could be really fun. So I say if your muse tells you to make him you should.

*OMG I so get the no pictures thing. Remember my Joeseph Cross character? god sooo hard to find anything for that boy. I love Eddie so much though, like his description. Maybe try playing around with other pb choices before you make your final decision.

* umm of course. you rock harder than jesus

[amanda]

okkaayyy, first of all...keep faith!!! after the whole lulu thing, i promise i will plot with her. right now i am in desperate need of plots for wilbert, manny, and even more for kale, so i will put my thinking cap on and think of something amazing =] && plus, we could do something where like after the whole birthday party maybe faith could be really sweet to luke & try to get him off of his feet because he will be so down&out because of the lucy situation. then, maybe like he actually does get a small crush on her? idk.

OH, and becuase the whole doukki thing isn't happening maybe faith can be the girl that Talan kind of falls for when laura& ben get together? i really want him to find somebody that can take his mind off laura, at least a little =] but oh man, what if talan and her have a thing, and luke secretly likes her a little? then luke would start shitting on talan & talan wouldn't know why and that would comepletely break his self esteem. and then maybe he starts doing bad in basketball & starts drinking & his bipolar disorder starts to freak out?!?

lol, so yeah that was me randomly plotting for you, even though i'd totally love to do that =] & the moral of the story is?? keep herrrr.

OH! and totally keep aaron, because he's sexy =] and that may not be a great reason, but i'll totally plot him w/ manny!!!

hmm, what else can i try to pursuade you on...conceited orlando bloom? LOVE IT.

&& i would still make eddie even if there weren't pictures, but it's totally up to you. i'm thinking of making a lindsey lohan character becuase i'm shocked we don't have one...if that helps at all (;

anyways, i love you and your characters, and i hope i helped at least a little!!! and yeah, i DO plan on setting that KALE&MADDIE thread up sometime soon..i have just had so much muse for my other charries that ive been distracted.

<333leahhhh

[Min-Sook Park]

okay, i'll make this real quick because i'm poofing on & off right now because of my parents. i'm keeping faith. i just noticed that there was an orlando bloom canon which i didn't notice before even though i looked at the list tons of times to make sure he wasn't taken there. so imagine how weird it was when i looked at it for the hundredth time & noticed he was taken. haha. still not sure about eddie. if someone could suggest another pb that has lots of pics, that would be awesome. & i feel loved. heh. i've been wanting to make summer sooo bad, but now that my orlando dude is not an option & i'm still not sure about eddie, i'll have to wait. i told myself that i was going to make a dude, before her so now i'm waiting. btw, i decided to use marisa miller for her, because the rper is not the most active but she still posts every now and then. now i know how chels felt when she was waiting for mikayla to go bye-bye & how leah felt with ryder. haha. thanks for the help, my peeps! (:

lily the cookie<3

edit. ehmagawd. i was just looking for her account to see how long has it been since she has posted & i just realized that either she got deleted. ow lily will be reserving her marisa miller while looking for a male pb to use for my next malinda boy. i'm thinking about using cristiano ronaldo again for a different charrie, but idk. tell me wat u all think.
