Prefers neutrals and dull greens. otherHas faint scars on the left side of his face from a childhood coyote attack. the personpersonalitystrict, respectful, responsible, dutiful, gentle, altruistic, self-sacrificing, protective, honest, taciturn, diligent, diplomatic, loyal, orderly, prudish Possesses an instinct to take care of others, especially children, the elderly, the vulnerable, and the wounded. Easily guilt-tripped. interestscooking and baking, playing with his dog, Harvest Moon, wine tasting, winemaking historyBorn into a third-generation Puerto Rican American family. The second oldest of four children, so he was often put in charge of looking after his younger siblings. His family runs and owns a small farm in Napa Valley. Like almost everyone else in the family, Isidro started helping out with the business at an early age. Was attacked by a coyote when he was five during a family trip to Griffith Park in Los Angeles. The coyote managed to bite his head and neck - narrowly missing his eyes - before being chased away by the rest of his family and several bystanders. While he was declared fully healed after a matter of months, unbeknownst to anyone outside of his family, Isidro has remained deeply terrified of coyotes ever since. Between school, chores, helping out at the farm, and babysitting his siblings, Isidro had almost no free time once he hit his preteens. It would’ve been easy for Isidro to feel resentful when his classmates were always hanging out somewhere having fun, but he liked how tight-knit his family was and appreciated that they’d taught him the value of working hard. Took a year off after graduating high school to save up money for higher education. Currently studying agricultural business at California State University, Fresno. familymother, father, grandmother, grandfather, sister (age twenty-two), brother (age seventeen), sister (age fifteen) petOld English sheepdog (Maera)ethnicityLatino (Puerto Rican) the extrasmbti type ISFJ alignment lawful good hogwarts house Hufflepuff patronus ox wand poplar and unicorn hair, eight and a half inches, rigid bender type earthbender sburb title Knight of Doom the favoritescolor olive green foods his family’s fruit preserves and wine jelly on toast, flan de coco drink homemade strawberry wine animals all subject biology genre nature documentaries[/ul]

✗ sorensen, quinn[/i] name Quinn Isaac Sorensen gender male age twenty birthday October 15 [Libra] sexual orientation bisexual place of origin Lebanon, New Hampshire, U.S.A. place of residence Leicester, Massachusetts, U.S.A. the looksplayby Lucas Till hair blond eyes blue height 5’10” [177.8 cm] build average clothing styleCasual and comfortable: T-shirts, hoodies, jeans, and mud-caked sneakers or boots. Wears several layers in case the weather changes or some of his clothes get dirty. Prefers blues and neutrals. otherOften paints his nails electric blue and/or white. the personpersonalitylaidback, open-minded, individualistic, spontaneous, outdoorsy, blunt, protective, empathetic, adaptable, loyal, adventurous, imperturbable, optimistic, patient Possesses sharp instincts, so his first impressions of someone usually turn out to be dead-on. Rarely holds grudges. interestsanimal care, day hiking, foraging for wild food, visiting zoos and aquariums, dumpster diving historyBorn into a typical middle-class family. Growing up, Quinn was frequently berated and insulted by his father, Daniel, for always “acting like a girl” (which apparently meant that Quinn “didn’t know how to appreciate sports,” was “too sensitive,” and spent too much time “clinging to his mother”). Although Cecilia always defended her son whenever Daniel went on one of his “man up” rants, nothing she said ever seemed to make any difference - and often brought Daniel’s wrath down upon her instead. Came out when he was thirteen, causing Daniel to blow up and finally leave the family for good. Cecilia worked hard to make ends meet without Daniel, juggling three part-time jobs to pay the bills. Between school and volunteering, Quinn helped out by taking on countless odd jobs (mostly pet sitting), doing most of the household chores, and dumpster diving for food. Because of their financial situation, Quinn’s only goal post-graduation became getting a full-time job to alleviate some of the stress on his mother. The summer before Quinn’s senior year of high school, Cecilia began dating Peter Vandersee, a college friend of hers who’d just moved back to New Hampshire after a messy divorce. Peter encouraged Quinn to apply to college, offering his help on everything from researching schools to finding possible scholarships. Though initially skeptical of his chances, Quinn took Peter’s advice and was accepted into Becker College’s animal studies program the following spring. Cecilia and Peter married a year after. Currently working on an A.S. in veterinary technology, and is considering continuing on to earn a B.S. in veterinary science. familymother (Cecilia Vandersee, née Sorensen), birthfather (Daniel Sondergaard), stepfather (Peter Vandersee), stepsister (Emma “Em” Vandersee; age eight) petsAustralian mist cat (Galen), Himalayan cat (Gwenhyfara)ethnicityprimarily Danish the extrasmbti type INFP alignment neutral good hogwarts house Gryffindor patronus unicorn wand maple and unicorn hair, ten inches, extremely supple bender type waterbender sburb title Knight of Life the favoritescolor electric blue foods his mother’s potato soup, shepherd’s pie, beef stew drink pine needle tea animal kittens subject biology genre none[/ul]

Pharmacist parents. Raised in an authoritarian, traditional household, by parents who held high expectations of everything from her personality to her academic record. Inevitably, Sela grew to resent these expectations, but she also knew that it would be easier to simply continue maintaining an illusion of perfection than to actively rebel against her parents: whatever their other faults, they still readily covered all her expenses, and they could easily choose to stop doing so. Shattering her parents’ dreams could wait until she could pay her own way. Currently flourishing away from her family at Cornell University, where she is double majoring in psychology (with a concentration in social and personality psychology) and sociology.

Often finishes their outfit with gold-laced black oxfords, a long red scarf, and/or black leather gloves. otherTightlines their eyes with dark brown or black eyeliner. Wears two small mismatched gold hoops in each ear. Presents as female. the personpersonalitycomposed, distant, curious, decisive, precise, quick-thinking, introverted, poised, independent Prefers to fly under the radar when possible. Driven to learn about and understand the world around them. interestssoaking in hot springs, role-playing video games, reading, meditation historyBorn into a middle-class family. Indian immigrant mother; Chilean immigrant father. Although Savi’s parents had doted upon them as a child, their relationship spiraled downward once Savi hit their teenage years. To Savi’s mother and father, Savi seemed determined to do everything they ever disapproved of: tossing aside their homework in order to read history texts and play video games, chopping off most of their luxurious long hair, dressing like they were about to go start a fight at any second, and so on and so forth. Unfortunately, most of Savi’s childhood friendships didn’t survive the rocky transition either, leaving Savi with a minimal support system as they entered high school. Began holing themselves up in their room once they realized - with an admittedly painful jolt - that their parents were full-out ashamed of them and wanted them out of sight and out of mind. Although it felt lonely at first, they soon discovered that they didn’t mind that degree of solitude, so long as they could keep themselves occupied. If other people were bound to disappoint and be disappointed by them anyway, maybe it was for the best that they kept to themselves. Started reading up on non-binary gender and sexual orientations during their first year at Occidental College, eventually leading them to the realization that they identified as agender. Has not yet told their family, but will correct almost anyone else (assuming a certain level of personal safety is present) if they address or refer to Savi as female. Recently graduated from Occidental in spring; history major and physics minor. Currently works part-time as a historic site guide and as a physics/Spanish tutor. Possibly interested in pursuing archiving as a career. familymother, father ethnicitiesIndian, Chilean the extrasmbti type INTP alignment true neutral hogwarts house Ravenclaw patronus Indian grey mongoose wand pine and phoenix feather, eleven inches, resilient bender type firebender sburb title Heir of Space the favoritescolors gold, vermilion foods pomegranates, Chilean-style empanadas fritas de queso drink mango juice animal tigers subjects history, physics genre science fiction[/ul]

Cold and cruel when angered. interestsastronomy, puzzles and riddles, playing the electric violin, video games, Doctor Who, reading, traveling historyBorn into a middle-class Italian American family. Primary caretaker as a child was his grandmother, who remains to this day the family member who is closest to him. Raised alongside his incredibly precocious cousin, Pell, who was two years his senior. Was Pell’s only friend growing up, as he was one of the few children around that had both the temperament to put up with Pell’s snippiness and the brains to impress him. It also helped that the two shared a passion for astronomy and puzzle-solving. Teased for being an unabashed nerd in middle school. Brushed it off fairly easily, in part because he could dish it out as well as he got, and in part because he knew that Pell had dealt with much worse comments. However, though he never admitted it, the experience still shook up his confidence, and he entered high school wary that the teasing would continue up until college. Has been on rocky terms with his mother since converting to atheism. His grandmother has tried to mediate between them for the past four years, but to little effect. Majoring in astrophysics and minoring in music at Tufts University. familymother, father, grandmother, cousin (Pellegrino Selvier; age twenty-two) ethnicityItalian the extrasmbti type ENTP alignment chaotic good hogwarts house Ravenclaw patronus kestrel wand sycamore and phoenix feather, eleven inches, flexible bender type airbender sburb title Mage of Space the favoritescolors Byzantium purple, black foods lobster macaroni and cheese, mozzarella sticks drink root beer animal falcons subjects science, music genres science fiction, adventure, action, satire, thriller[/ul]
