EXECUTIVE DECISIONS !
( AND LACK THEREOF )

you may have noticed lately that my two bell babies, melanie and cooper, have been completely dead. i sort of lost muse and inspiration for the both of them; i haven't felt the desire or inclination to roleplay them for a long time. this makes me a little sad because i adore both of them. plus my hardcore love for mila kunis and hayden christensen will never ever die. however, i officially decided to delete melanie and did so a while ago, even though i love the idea of her character - glamorous closet geek, fun stuff - , i just didn't really feel her anymore, and it wasn't good to just let her sit and collect dust. as for cooper, up until a little while ago i was about 95% sure that i wanted to delete him, too, but the other i looked over his app again and became less sure. i don't know, it might just be something about those brooders that will always hold a very special place in my heart, haha. i think i could probably still get muse for him; it's just that i've hardly roleplayed him at all and i'm pretty sure i'm a little out of touch with his character, but my heart isn't really completely in him anymore and it would definitely be easy to just delete him even if it would make me sad. and right now i'm just trying to stay as close to the single digits as possible with my characters. at the moment, including cooper, i have nine, which isn't too terrible. but i have two new characters in mind that i'd like to make and the idea of eleven is just kind of ehh to me, though ten seems liveable, even if essentially it's really not much of a difference, hah. but, anway, this was a very large rant and the key points are that i've deleted melanie and i'm very much on the fence about whether or not i want to delete cooper and it wound up this long because i really just wanted to write out how i felt. input would be perfectly lovely. but now i'm going to move on to my newbie. like i said, i've got two characters in mind, but right now one is a bit more developed; i was going to post info on both of them but i'm still sort of thinking over the other one. so here we go. :]

MERCADES YSABEL SERAFIA VALENTÍN COVAS

[/font]

PLAY BY: AMANDA SEYFRIED. <3[/center]

,. HISTORY - - -

ysabel valentín arroyo de covas was a happy housewife living in toledo, spain, with her husband and five lovely children. however, that all changed when she met david swenson, a charming young nordic tourist. it only took them about a week and a half to get into a full blown affair, and not even a month later, david was promising to marry ysabel as soon as she was free of her husband. however, ysabel then fell pregnant and, when she told david, he freaked out and skipped town, leaving her heartbroken and knocked up. these were the circumstances under which mercades ysabel serafia valentín covas was born. ysabel was terrified, because even at birth she could tell that mercades looked a good deal like her father and didn't think she could attribute it to her daughter having inheritied more of the genetics of ysabel's side of the family. however, if her husband, simon, picked up on anything, he never voiced any suspicions. everything went pretty smoothly up until mercades was five, at which point simon discovered an old letter from david to ysabel that hinted obviously at their affair and managed to piece everything together; including that mercades was not his biological daughter. he blew up, demanded a divorce, and got it. he took primary custody of all six children and simply left ysabel to find her own way.

mercades grew up feeling a bit like an outsider around her own family; her older brothers and sister tended to look at her as one of the reasons their parents' marriage had ended and simon had a hard time even looking at her. however, she did have one brother with whom she grew very close to, one who looked at her simply as his sister; andreo. she relied on him a lot throughout her childhood, because she often felt like he was all she had. then, at the age of eight, mercades discovered gymnastics, and she fell in love. it became pretty much the most important thing in her life. after about two years, at the age of ten, she began to compete, and the whole thing had her completely absorbed. she adored it and she put her all into it for years. however, the thrill of winning soon got her out of control. when she was fifteen, on the eve of a very important event, she found herself on the very verge of arranging for her biggest adversary in the competition to consume some food that would give her food poisoning. but then, she realized something. doing this would make her no better than some random lowlife on the street. she would always love the sport of gymnastics, but she had been consumed by the desire to win to an extent that not even she could forgive herself for. so she quit. cold turkey.

after about another year she was just about finished with her schooling (in spain, you're in secondary school from ages 11ish-16, and afterwards you go on to university or join the work force). she had a plan all figured out; she wanted to go to college to both get a teaching degree and to study language. however, one day she arrived home to some very disturbing news. her mother, had had a run in with none other than david swenson, mercades's biological father who had heartlessly deserted ysabel sixteen years ago. and david had wound up dead with a bullet through his chest. ysabel was convicted of murder and sent to prison and mercades went through a small crisis. her mother had killed her father, someone she had never known... all her issues she had ever had about her family had sort of exploded and she was just not doing very well. as soon as she passed out of secondary school, she told andreo, the sibling she had always been closest with, that she wanted to get out. out of toledo, out of spain. going off to university seemed like the perfect opportunity for that. she decided to apply to valkyrie university in california, because her maternal grandparents were living there. she made all the necessary arrangements and left with andreo in august.

[eric]

so I love Mercades, and I understand your dilemmas about Mel and Cooper, so yeah, I've had those decisions, haha, one of them were of Sio who had Mercy's face.... I think Fair would call her mercy, just because. So I say we plot them, because Fair knows Spanish, Hell, Fair knows a lot of languages actually. but I think she would absolutely adore Mercy, just because they are so similar in personality, that they would either hate each other or be fricken besties. I wanna go with the latter, because Fair doesn't have many friends, lol. but yes, I demand, lol, look at me being demanding, that Mercades and Fairuza are good friends at least, xD and if you plot with anna, which my god woman, you should... it's demetri for godsakes! then I can so see Mercy and Fair just hanging out together, with a lot of food all around and just talking about him, and their other adventures and laughing and what not... like a sleep over with movies and food.... and if you make Andreo... oh the plotting! Now who else would love her, I think Isaac would try to hit on her, because come on, look at her! Audrey would have a love-hate thing with her, just because of her ruthlessness and cut throat bitch thing... well that's not what I think, but audrey would deduce to that point....


hope this was helpful!

[Shay Anderson]

do i haaaave to post? -pout-
OVECHKIN! sorry xD i love that.

aw, the bells<3 i love them. but hey, these things happen. mel was pure win, but it happens to the best of us. more room for more epic clare characters. i never plotted with her much, but she was epic when she was aroudn. all i can say about that. ahh, hate not knowing what to do. cooper is adorable. but hey, sometimes things just happen. if you still want to give him a try, maybe just roleplay him a little and see what happens? sort of put him on probation or something. i'll be happy to plot/thread with him if you decide to give him one last try. that's what i'm doing with a bunch of characters, rofl. but, there could be two new charries! hmmmm. i would suggest giving him a few days or a week - depending on how much you play him and such - and then see how it goes? -shrug- but i am always excited about more your creations. this wasn't too helpful, was it? fail.

onto the fun stuff =]

a. seyfried is love<3 let's start there.
oooh, i'm loving the sound of her. love her history<3 and of course, i'm going to be forcing plotting. we plot everyone, remember? xD but whoooo? well, several possibilities. i do think her and indie would get along quite well - they're both pretty ruthless. xD and have pretty similar personalities, come to think of it. they should be buddy-pals. keeping with connections, gray would be afraid of her, hehe. people with that level of intensity are hella intimidating. they scare me, too. -sigh- of course my brain decided to turn off sometime after you evil americans scored with 30 seconds left in the game. almost lost us the gold, you did xD anyway, sorry. still on a high. you should randomly pick flingers too, actually. that'd be awesome. i like random!plotting. hmmm. carter's a former intense athelete, too? age difference, but that never stopped anyone. hmm. shay's fairly similar to her, as well. not at ruthless, but we all know she's hella headstrong and is a good time, too. just not a bookworm. yeah, my head is being really, really, really lame.</3 really, if you think of ANYTHING, let me know xD

sorry this wasn't as helpful as i hoped =[

[Artemis Ellis]

yay! thanks for replying, you guys. -throws cupcakes at everyone-

GURMS-IOUS, MY SIMSPSONS BUDDY!
sio. <3 it took me forever to stop refering to a seyfried as sio in my head, haha. actually, speaking of which, i finally learned how to pronounce siobhan properly a few days ago. i felt stupid because i was waaaay off haha. xD ooh, mercy is a good nickname. i wouldn't have thought of that. but anyway, guh, we really need to plot fairuza and mercades, like, to the MAX. because i saw jennifer's body a week or so ago and i loved them in it. and after seeing this, i now love megan fox, lmao. ANYWAY, yes, i told you in the cbox that they definitely definitely need to be bffls, they'd just be amazing together. fairuza would totally bring out mercy's childish side, so they need to have those sleepovers, they'd be fucking epic. they'll stay up late watching old romantic movies and eating chocolate and popcorn and babbling and laughing together in spanish. <3 I LOVE THEM SO MUCH ALREADY. and andreo and ruza will be super duper epic, too. once he regains mental stability after seeing her in her boy shorts and tank, he'd probably quote shakespeare at her and just flirt continually with her until mercy got fed up with him hogging her best friend and kicked him out. mm, isaac. if he hit on her, mercy would probably flirt back, because that's just what she does. i can totally see them having a sexual tension thing. oooh! he should come to borders sometime while she's working the register and once he gets to the front of the line they should just stand their flirting with each other, ignoring the growing line of pissed off customers behind him. xD we should do something with her and audrey, too, because i'm not plotting nearly enough with her. >:| mercy would actually probably like audrey well enough; she would make her laugh, but some things would probably annoy her, too, so they should be frienimies. a love/hate thing, like you said. wooo.

RUBYIZZLE!
ooh, maggie. i like that, because at least one of my characters needs to like her. xD seeing as andie hates her guts, haha. so yeah, that needs to happen; them spilling their drinks all over each other and cussing at each other in spanish. that's one thing i'm really looking forward to in playing mercy; the spanish. i've only taken one semester of spanish 1 so far, but oh well. xD we move way too slowly for my tastes in that class anyhow. though i did just miss a class when we learned a bunch of new infinitives, so it'll at least be challenging for a while until i get them down. xD ANYHOW. that'll be great. i think they should be friends, because they'd just be a really fun pair. heaven help anyone who pisses them off. xD aww, j.r. <3 mercades probably wouldn't really like him being protective of her but she'd probably deal with it. unless he like lectured her about guys or something. then she'd probably yell at him. they would be fun. :] OOHH, you know what would be funny? if like andreo hit on maggie and stuff and j.r. went all protective older brother on him and andreo did the same to him just because he doesn't like mercy spending so much time with him. x] haha.

CREEPER ASIA CAPTAIN CO-CUPCAKE!
yes indeed, we do plot everyone! because we're epic like that. hm, i like her and indie as friends. ooh! when indie and leda first meet and are all not friends, mercades and indie can make fun of her together, but then after they get all cute and bff-y, mercy can continue to make fun of her and indie can yell at her. they should be the kind of friends who sometimes just get sick of each other and fight but then like the next day they just go back to normal without saying anything. lmao, gray. <3 mercy probably wouldn't think much of him, but if she somehow found out he was afraid of her, she would be extremely amused. she'd probably flirt with him a lot, too, just because. i don't know how he'd take that. but if it annoyed him she'd probably feel compelled to do it more, just for that sake of bugging him. what is it with my characters just loving to bug the hell out of yours? lmao. but i think that something should eventually happen between them. i dunno why. it just seems to fit them somehow. xD do indie and gray live together? if so mercades could just be over there to chill with indie. but then indie has to leave for whatever reason, and mercy and gray are just talking and she's flirting and there's an awkward pause and then they start kissing? but then gray can be all wtf are we doing and they stop and sit in awkward silence until indie comes back. idk, that was the most random thing ever. xD feel free to tell me to shut up. her and carter would probably be amusing, too. i can sorta see them bonding over the athlete thing, even though hockey and gymnastics are pretty different. i can see them becoming friends. in a weird way. weird friends are fun. andreo probaby wouldn't like him at first. ooooh. mercy should like bring him over to their house really quick for whatever reason and andreo should jump to conclusions and think they're dating and like stare menacingly at him or something. xD her and shay should definitely be friends, too. <3 i approve of that. oh! and i think we should plot her and cassidy, because i haven't really officially plotted with her yet. they should either be good friends or hate each other a lot. you can pick. xD

gad zooks this turned out long.

[Charlotte Hartwell]

hahah, yeah, the name looks so deceiving in saying it.. Siobhan really equals 'shiv-on' but her nickname I kept as Sio not Shi.. because it sounded better. xD I'm so excited for Mercy and Fairuza now! I can so see them hanging out and just giggling and talking in spanish. I think they would be really close too, not just fun loving buddies, you know? like someone Fair could actually trust which is super rare. Like I think she might even tell Mercy about her past and how she was married, and about her baby who died right after birth and how she had to run away... Like really heavy stuff that she has never told anyone. OH! they can totally talk about Orion and how Fair is trying to toy with him too... but Fair actually starts to genuinely like, like him! hah, boy-talk is so them! She will so toy with Andreo though. Perhaps Mercy and Fair go to the ocean or something all spontaneously or something and they come back home all wet and all and before they steal away into Mercy's room she is all "Hola Andreo" in a very sultry voice and then smiles before running with Mercy. Hah, poor guy... And when he tries flirting with her with shakespeare, she loves shakespeare by the way (she's read all his sonnets/plays and almost memorized all of his work. so he would have to be legit, hah) she would play along before saying something especially witty, shutting him down in a friendly way. But I like they're little flirty banter... she would just love trying to make him uncomfortable<3 hahaha,. She and Mercy would so talk about him! Oh and I'm thinking about forcing isaac to publish his first novel... it's all written up and all but he's just lazy. so perhapsy haps a bit after he gets published and gets all 'New york times best seller' he comes into borders just to check that he is still on top and meets her, starting a conversation with her. Of course he wouldn't care that people are behind him, Isaac is flirting here! lol. Hmmm, yeah Audrey and Mercades could be one of those volatile friendships, like they would get along for most part but sometimes Audrey would just want to kill her, lol.

I'm excited for Mercy, by the way.

[Luca Giovanni]

hi! teehee. time for me to reply!

first, character decisions suck, since we've all gone through them. hell, i'm going through one right now in fact, so yeah, i get it. things happen, time moves on, so it's understandable. whatever you decide, i support!

her history is pretty awesome. and i love amanda. about time someone uses her, because she's adorable. yeah, and she's perfect for mercades. i love that she's from spain. none of my characters are from spain. but i do have european peeps. petros and sophie have been to spain before and though they don't swim in the same ponds, sophie's too social to care and i think they'd be good friends. like, when they were on vacation in spain sophie met her and is like her usual 'let's be friends' shows her to petros, petros hits on her, and he gets denied. sophie would find it funny. plus, sophie needs more girlfriends so if they ran into each other in valkyrie, she'd be ecstatic.

who else? hm. i'm seeing a common trend of me having men in their twenties, and probably wouldn't run into mercades. i need young people -.- oh! her and bevin. they should be friends too. they're both pretty chill and both are passionate about certain things in their lives.if her and bevin hang out a lot, finn would try and hit on her, naturally since she's all fresh in valkyrie and what not. oh damn, i'm running out of steam here. i can't think of anything else. but if you got any ideas, shoot them at me!

but she's great, can't wait until she's complete.

[Artemis Ellis]

GURMS-IOUS!
late for you, sorry. </3 but i'm definitely thinking that fairuza and mercy will be some of the most epic best friends valkyrie has ever seen. mercy would probably try and get fair to teach her romanian or some of the other languages ruza knows that she doesn't, hehe. aww, i like fair telling her about her past. and yes, boy talk is totally them, teehee. i think mercades shall be a supporter of fair and orion, so if ever given the opportunity she'd try and prod and/or shove them into getting together or something, haha. i can also see them going out and smiling flirtaciously at guys and chattering slyly in spanish together and totally intimidating the guys. and hahahah, i can totally see that, fair in a wet bikini being all sultry and then running away. andreo would bang his face against a wall. xD and mercy and fair would be laughing about it back in her room. bahaha. but andreo would definitely in legit in his shakespeare usage; he knows a lot of it from being in a lot of his plays. he might even drop the 'for i ne'er saw true beauty until this night' one on her. their flirty banter will be very epic, hah, especially with mercy in the background, bored to tears even if she would be laughing whenever andreo got shut down, going "come on guys, let's wrap it up". xD she wouldn't be and andreo/fair supporter, i'm thinking, hehe. and that would be a very amusing thread; mercy and isaac holding up the borders line with their flirting. it's very them, haha. and since mercy won't like leda, when she learns that iseda is together she'd probably flirt with him even more, mwahahaha! and, yes, a volatile friends ship for her and audrey sounds good. yay!

LAINEY!
hi! aw, mercades would adore sophie. they would be cute friends. and i love sophie introducing her to petros. if he hit on her, she'd probably flirt back for a minute, because she flirts with everyone, but then abruptly stop, just because it would amuse her. hehe. i'm seeing a trend in my characters that they find it funny when stuff like that (or a lot worse) happens to petros, lmao. oh, maybe the entire time he's there she's always teasing him like that? and trying to make him uncomfortable, too, because she would find that hilarious. but i could see her developing a kind of soft spot for him eventually. when they meet back here in valkyrie he could kind of be "oh... it's you"? xD and her and bevin should definitely be friends! because i love bevin and i'm not plotting nearly enough with her. she would probably try and get bevin into fashionable clothes and try and get her flirting with guys, haha. finnn. <3 mercades actually probably really wouldn't like him and if he tried to hit on her she'd probably go "i'm jailbait, you know".

GENEVIEVE ELOISE WILDER
PB CHOICE ATM: CAMILLA BELLE

[/i]

PERSONALITY `

[/font]
- seventeen.
- academy junior.
- will answer to genny or evie as well as genevieve.
- "rich girl"; not a whiny brat, but accustomed to an expensive lifestyle.
- classy in a sense; absolutely not a one night stand type of girl, likes elegance.
- smart.
- crafty.
- control issues; she needs to feel she's got some.
- likes to mess with people.
- will screw over anyone who messes with her.
- on the verge of an eating disorder again.
- habitual shoplifter, not really a klepto, does it because she can, sometimes for a thrill.
- when/if she gets to valkyrie, she's going to make it a project to take over the school and be queen bee again.

HISTORY `
- born to ridiculously wealthy parents in florida, the youngest child of three. she had an older brother, simon, and an older sister, bridget. her brother was diagnosed with severe autism at a young age. evie was always extremely protective over him.
- grew up with access to almost anything money can buy.
- nothing huge happened throughout her childhood.
- during middle school, she emerged as a "queen bee" of sorts amongst her peers.
- as high school began, her status as one of the socially elite was cemented and she developed a definite taste for it.
- on her sixteenth birthday, she threw a party in an orlando club. both of her siblings were there, though bridget took simon home quite early. on their way to the car, they ran into a couple of drunks, and one thing led to another before a tussle ensued. one of the drunks pulled out a gun and simon was shot and died on the scene.
- evie was really messed up afterwards. she had always felt like it was her job to look out for and protect simon, and she had failed. she felt like her world had spun out of control.
- soon after she started dieting, and little by little it became too extreme and developed into anorexia. it was an attempt to try and gain some control again, and she became really good at hiding it. people started asking questions when she started getting obviously extremely skinny, but she always denied everything. when she passed out on the last day of school her sophomore year, however, she was taken to the hospital and at that point there wasn't much she could do to deny it anymore. she was force fed and her parents sent her to rehab.
- she was let out of rehab two and half months later. she had gained some weight back and a the psychiatric treatment had been effective for the most part, though she still found herself wanting the sense of control she got from not eating.
- she went back to school junior year like nothing had happened, and things were relatively normal until the end of december until her parents announced that they were moving to california because her father had received a job offer from a company who was willing to pay him more.[/blockquote]


and, that's about it. opinion time![/font][/blockquote]

[Daphne Hayes]

ahh clare, will you overcome the camilla belle curse? seriously, when we make vside dictionary, we'll add that in there, because everyone knows about that xD

anyways, genny sounds epic. so, i'm assuming her and daphne won't be bffls? xD lol, seriously, daphne will pretty much tell her to back the fuck up. i foresee a lot of battles between the two, because we have to. let's see, despite daphne hating on her, i think genny and sophie should be friends. they were both ex-anorexics. maybe they meet each other at a meeting or something for recovering anorexics. at the hospital or something and bond. both being rich and in high school, i think they'll have a thing or two to talk about. i also think that her and tommy should hook up. he'd probably tell her it'd increase her popularity and how she should aspire to get into the ss blog. and since i need more plots with raoul, i totally just had an idea fly into my head. so she likes to shop lift? well, even if he isn't really into the crime, he has a pretty good eye. he should see her stealing something and be all 'what are you doing?' just because he'd be able to tell she's not poor. -shurg- it's a random idea, so you can ditch it.

hopefully i was useful xD

[Catherine Rose]

LAINEY !
hahah, the camilla belle curse. xD anyhow. as far as daph and evie, i'm thinking that she would actually do her best to befriend daph first to elevate her standing. once that happens, though, she'd try to start to take over. so yeah, she'd basically pull a big back stab. so there shall totally be battles! that'll be fun. and i really like her and sophie being friends. <3 they should definitely meet at some sort of anorexia recovery support group or something like that. i can totally see sophie being the one that genny always goes to when she needs to talk about how she's struggling. they can be their own mini support group! and, as i mentioned in the cbox a few minutes ago, her and tommy not plotting is pretty much travesty against v-side. she wouldn't really buy into 'it'll make you more popular' thing about hooking up with him and want to make him pay for trying it on her. xD probably just by teasing him because i can't think of anything more creative right this second. hehe. what is it with my girls liking to tease tommy? ooh, i like the idea for her and raoul. she'd probably just try and see whether or not he was going to rat her out. she'd probably flirt with him a little, too, just because he is sex on legs.

[Tristan Silver]

better late than never. first things - the camilla curse xD it's finally broken!

but do i effin' love the sound of her. camilla is seriously perfect for her. must need to decide what to call her...evie. i like that one :] but anyway. of course she must plot with the flingers! especially with this queen bee quest of her's. i don't think miss tristan will like that too much. or, perhaps she will o: i need to figure where she stands on the a-list scale, haha. despite what happens., i think evie will be the kind of person tristan is constantly trying to out-do. they're quite similar, if i do say so. except for the classy thing xD tristan's my slut<3 anyway. she'd find her battles with daph hella-amusing, to say the least. perhaps...idk, tristan takes somewhat of a liking to evie. she doesn't write her off as some sort of wanna-be, acknowledges her. but, at the end of the day, she isn't really sincere about it. that doesn't make sense -_- like, tristan likes her and they have a good time together. but, at the same time, evie is one of those girls tristan sees as real, genuine competition. to her, most of the valk!girls are pathetic and try too hard, haha. just look at pretty genevieve, she doesn't need to try at all. like, she's classy and pretty, but a fierce bitch at the same time. underneath it all, that's what tristan does struggle to do. she obviously is the opposite of classy, but can obsess over her appearance at the same time. i want to bring that more into her, actually. anyway, so, because of that, she sees her as competition to be what tristan has taken - whatever her position in v-side is. not the queen bee, but the sort of glamorous it girl who can do anything. upon realizing this, she'd be almost insecure about it. make off-hand comments about evie's eating disorder; how tristan can maintain eating next to nothing, but she doesn't fuck it up. nrr \: this doesn't sound cohesive. but i do hope you get what i mean. if not, too bad xD

who else? hmmm. well, we should plot her and carter. opposite worlds, i realize buuut...okay, i'm too lazy to find bribes xD but they were in push together, and it was ridiculously cute<3 so we should do something. now, there, i have absolutely no idea xD but we should do something regardless. random!plotting is sometimes super successful, as we know. so, you should think of something ;] nah, just kidding. let me know if you want to.

uhhh...other than that, no one else really pops into mind. but hey, you're good for knowing you plots well with whom. and i suck at it. so, hit me up if you have any ideas :] the flingers are at your request. she sounds epic as hell<3

[Sarai Montgomery]

late, per usual, but here i am replying so yay! xD evie sounds awesome. i can think of maybe one or two characters who she'd really suit.

one former queen bee to another, carly would definitely not be gunning for daphne's head the way evie is. she's been out of that social scene and she's happy about that. now i could see her kind of supporting evie a little, or smirking from the sidelines, because she's trying to stab daph in the back and daph and her trio are the main reason for her current situation. carly doesn't want to be the next generation of popular girls. she doesn't care for it, and seeing as evie would likely take daph's eyes off carly's back she'd definitely love evie trying to step up. as long as she doesn't want carly as backup, she's fine. poor girl just wants to finish high school by any means necessary. also carly knows how strong family bonds are. if she ever heard about simon, well she'd be a little freaked because her family is so close to her and the idea of losing any one of them makes her feel yet another panic attack coming on.

another one i could see evie knowing is maybe sarai, but that's from a hospital stand point and all that jazz. she'd try to look out for her and make sure she wasn't trying to get back to her anorexic ways.

k, so i hope this helped a little. i'm terrible at these things, lol.

[Nina Suresh]

ahh the camilla belle curse. i know you can break it xD i believe there was a brittany snow curse for a while but i'm determined to break that so if i can, you can too! anyway. first of all, i love the sound of her so much. she sounds like epic win xD i love how it's like her project to become queen bee. perfect hehe.

now plots wise, i know we mentioned possible plotting up with bridgette at the hospital which i am all up for. i can see bridgette actually being a bit suspicious of genevieve when they first meet, like suspecting that she's kind of bitchy if she wants to be and bridgette isn't used to dealing with that since she was never at school long enough to experience the whole clique stuff. so we're definitely doing something with them.

next up i'm going to insist that we plot her and maeghan. maeghan is also aiming to be queen bee, or at least up with the it girls even if she isn't officially top dog. she'll still consider herself the top shit. so maeghan is kind of in the good books with the trio i believe although i need to talk to lainey about what's happening with that? i think she and daphne get a long since daphne kind of sees a bit of herself in maeghan. anyway so funny enough i can actually see maeghan liking genevieve. they're quite different since genevieve is all classy and maeghan is more on the trashy slut side haha. but i imagine they could be the kind of friends who are more like frenemies. the blair and serena of valkyrie pretty much rofl. like one second they're off shopping together and grabbing coffee and the next they're having a giant bitch fight and hating each other. idk but that could be fun hehe. so yeah if genevieve is aiming for queen bee, she's definitely going to have to know maeghan.

i can't really think of anyone else right now that would have anything to do with her. i'd offer up alex but alex doesn't really have anything to do with the elite kids. she's too busy with her own issues haha. so hopefully there's something worth working with in there! <333

thanks so much for the replies, you guys. <3 you're all made out of ridiculous amounts of win. buuut, i've got a new character in mind and she's definitely overpowered genevieve, at least for the time being, so genny's a-going onto the back burner for now. which means i don't really have the will power to reply about her, sorry. </3 but, anyhow. lainey said i should post info on my new girl, and i decided that i would, because i'm excited for her.

SIENNA FIORENZA GIOVANNI

PB: THE EVER GORGEOUS & ADORABLE ERIN HEATHERTON.

HISTORY - - -
- born in naples, italy, to santino and mona giovanni, along with her twin brother, luca. <3
- grew up ignorant of her family's involvement in the mafia. her mother sheltered her from it, wanting her to be able to live a normal life, though luca knew.
- raised mostly in liverpool, england.
- it was always evident that she was very bright, but she occasionally had issues in school when she refused to jump through academic hoops.
- their family relocated to los angeles when sienna was fourteen and started living in the infamous gio mansion.
- her mother managed to keep her in the dark about the big giovanni family "secret" for about a year and a half after their move the los angeles, but she finally caught on when she overheard a small meeting between a few of her uncles. she was extremely upset, having always had a firm belief in right and wrong. the fact that her family had made a business out of immorality and corruption sickened her.
- began to join activism groups after that, mostly political, environmental and animal.
- dropped out of high school after her junior year.
- a couple months later, an animal testing lab in los angeles was bombed by some of the people in one of the animal activist groups sienna had joined, as well as people from various other similar organizations. sienna hadn't been involved, she hadn't even known something like that was being planned. but it was just another big let down to her, another reminder that violence and corruption was all around her. so, she ran away.
- she wound up in a small town in wisconsin, what with having developed a definitive distaste for cities over the years, living with a few friends she had met. she didn't really do a whole lot, opting to just enjoy existence and keep it simple instead of trying to get a job or get some schooling in.
- a few years went by like this, until she started a romantic relationship with a guy she had met and befriended (not one of the ones she was living with). however, it was soon apparent that he was more bitter and angry than he had appeared. when he got violent, sienna decided she needed to get out. she broke up with him, waited for the cuts and bruises to heal, got a ride from a friend to the nearest airport, and left.
- she was headed for valkyrie, because she had kept up correspondence with a cousin or two, who told her that her brother, luca, was living there, and she wants to see him again.

PERSONALITY - - -
- twenty one years old.
- intelligent, but hasn't had any education beyond the three years of high school she had before she dropped out.
- firm beliefs about right and wrong.
- disapproves of society in general, hates how money controls everything and how corrupt and greedy everyone in power seems to be.
- doesn't follow a lot of the popular societal or cultural trends.
- doesn't feel that she's "wasting her life" or anything just because she hasn't gone on to school or gotten a job, because she doesn't believe that the value or quality of life should depend on how much money she is able to rake in.
- doesn't trust government at all.
- vegan, has respect for animal life.
- eats only organic food whenever possible.
- feels that people are moving way too fast and putting too much pressure on themselves for their lives to turn out a certain way, thinks that it should be much simpler.
- rather anti-technology, feels it's responsible for a lot of the negative and unhealthy attitudes in society. so she tends to try and avoid it; doesn't watch tv or use computers, doesn't own a cell phone or us them, walks or bikes wherever she can.
- environmentally conscious, very pro recycling, hehe.
- loves to read and write.
- generally very quiet, doesn't feel the need to talk if she has nothing to say.
- usually very calm and laid back, she doesn't get angry easily.
- tells it like it is. good thing, too, because she's terrible at lying.
- she'll stick with you once she befriends you.
- passionate about her beliefs, but she won't really try to force them on anyone.

and, that's about it! i need opinions now, because i'm excited about her since there aren't a lot of characters like her at v-side, but i'm a little worried about being able to get her into plots. so, yeah, cupcakes for everybody who replies. <3

[Magdelena "Maggie" Corinthos]

so i read and i love the sound of sienna. perfect name as well. it sucks about genny but that's the camilla curse for you. someone else always comes around xD so without any ado, here i go.

first and foremost, maggie and sienna must plot. we've discussed this already but basically maggie walks into luca's loft to see this strange girl, thinks she's another london, and gets all defensive. she'll be fine once she finds out she's luca's sister, and smack him upside the head for not telling her about sienna, but that'll about be the end of anything weird. afterwards i can sienna's a lot like bella in a sense so i can see her seeing sienna as just an older version of her sister. they really would get along great (bella and sienna) but i think magz and sienna would get along as well. i can see maggie being really protective of her because she reminnds her so much of bella but at the same time they'll have a more mature relationship because she's a) not her sister and b) knows about the business. idk if maggie's involvement would drive her nuts so that's something we'd have to work on but aside from that, yeah, good friends and such.

i think j.r. would like her. they're the same age and j.r. has a similar belief in right and wrong. though he's the apparent heir to the corinthos business he doesn't want anything to do with the mob. his dream life is a normal one even including a white picket fence. so i could see them really getting along on that front. he'd respect her beliefs like he respects everything else about people's own decisions and all that. though he's massive he's a teddy bear, as you well know, and i could see them really just connecting. maybe he's one of the guys she can talk to? since her past relationship was so bad it wouldn't surprise me if she was wary around guys. j.r.'s the perfect guy to be around to fix that.

hmm, i could see her getting along with wes to, though i have no idea how they would meet. he's that quirky jokester who just likes to make people feel better and he'd try that with sienna if she was feeling down.

so these three are the ones that best come to mind. if you think of any other options or want to tweak anything i came up with, feel free to let me know.
