Okay, Jess, you can blame King for this one cuz he put me up to it! Like i said. Horseradish. *inside joke lol* Name: Amii Age: 16 Bio: Amii was born and raised in America, and her parents are both immigrants from Mexico. Though they struggle sometimes, her family is the average middle class, and Amii just another girl in high school. However, ask anyone at school who she is, and no one will be able to even recall her face. She sin't shy, she hasn't been bullied, nothing really happened. She's just invisible, and prefers it that way. She remains outside and aloof of the other student's lives, effectively avoiding conflict but at the cost of being alone. Occupation: Student Personality: Quiet, suspicious. Amii doesn't talk much and will try to leave your presence whenever possible. Appearance: Average height. Black hair, tan skin. Dark eyes.

Name: Thomas Woodrow Age: 30 Gender: Male Appearance: Tom has black hair and keeps his face clean shaven. He has a thing for nice suits and terrible ties (which he thinks are awesome.) http://blog.ties2pillows.com/wp-content/uploads/Pencil-Tie.jpg Brief Character History: Thomas Woodrow was born and raised in New York, to a single mom. Ever since he was a kid he loved school, specifically English. The day he graduated, he decided he would become an English teacher and did everything in his power to make that dream a reality. Four years later Thomas made his dream a reality. Though he could have gotten a job at any prestigious school he wanted, he decided he wanted to teach in the city where his high school sweetheart, Hannah, now lived and perhaps win her over. Thus he moved from New York to Great Barrington, Massachusetts in 1993 and was hired at Stikler High. It is now 1996. Woodrow has a reputation of being one of the more weird and fun teachers through his use of games, movies, journaling and plays to make grammar and literature more interesting. That and his insistence of wearing terrible ties. Despite what people think, Thomas is determined to make sure that every student passes his class with a good grade. Even the tough kids. This often means he will be at the school earlier and stays later than the rest of the teachers to make sure every one of his students gets the help he or she needs. This also means, however, that he has a very limited social life and doesn't get to see Hannah nearly as much as he would like. That and she doesn't seem to notice him much. She was the main reason why Woodrow moved from New York, but now he is beginning to wonder if he'll ever find a way to win her over. Personality: Passionate, jocular, strange, ----- Name: Tina Sharp (BM Universe Version) Age: 17 Bio: Tina is adopted...and everyone knows it thanks to Adelie and her cronies. Her adopted family are Maxwell and Leanna Leone...as well as their son Max. Max goes to Strickler High with Tina but he's a grade under her and hangs out with the nerdy crowd so they are rarely seen together. Few know where Tina was before she was adopted, aside from the fact that she is of Korean decent, but anyone at Strickler High know who she is now. Her dark personality and her frequent visits to the principle's office for fights have given her the reputation of a bad kid who is headed on a path to prison. Occupation: Student Personality: If don't mess with Tina she'll ignore you. If you try and pick a fight, you'll likely end up with a punch in the nose. Tina is easily bored and quick to anger. She's the lone wolf type, but occasionally sits with the "bad" or gothic kids for the security that comes in numbers. Parents and teachers won't tell you this...but high-school is a battlefield, and only those with allies survive. The only time she even looks slightly happy is when she's in P.E. Specifically, wrestling. Despite her outward demeanor, she has a good heart and just wants a friend. If you can earn her trust, she'll protect you with her life. If you can earn her trust. Appearance: The Leone's are well known in the scientific community and are quite wealthy. But you wouldn't know it, looking at Tina. Where as most girls wore the latest trends and jewelry, Tina wears whatever makes a statement. No makeup, no jewelry. Just black. Black sweatshirt, black jeans, black shirts that had quotes like, "You mess with me, you die." She's about the scariest little Korean you'll ever find.
Name: Connor Age: 16 Bio: One of the kids that has a small group of friends, Connor considers himself something of a lone wolf, but loyal to the small "pack" he has.

Yay, excited -------------------- Name: Roxanne “Roxy” Xalider Age: 14 Bio: Roxy was born weird. At least that’s what they all say. Her favorite thing to do is hang with her best friends--books. Every story she reads she wishes could be her own. The thought of living in a different world, with a different life has always seemed nice to her. No school and no bullies; just a place where she can be herself, be accepted, and take part in the amazing things of fiction. But sadly, this is not the case. She is stuck enduring the tragedies of high school, while her older sister basks in the amazing things of reality. Though, growing up in the small town of Great Barrington isn't easy. Especially when Roxy is the one who’s always in the spotlight when she doesn’t want to be…she moved up two grades afterall. Occupation: Student Personality: Roxy is a small girl with a big imagination. But dealing with such verbal abuse at school, she’s crawled into an anti-social shell, choosing not to associate herself with many students. She’s shy, quiet, fragile, and sensitive on the outside. Peeling back her layers; she’s actually bursting with confidence and a prideful heart. Her brain is full of knowledge that she takes in from books, making her believe she’s smarter than anyone else. (But this actually wouldn’t be surprising, considering the teens she has to put up with every day.) When given the chance in class, she'll show off these smarts. Appearance: Roxy is exactly 5 feet tall with a petite, bony body, but her pretty facial features make up for that. Has shoulder-length black curly ringlets and deep blue eyes. Has a fair complexion, with a sprinkle of freckles across her nose and full lips that give her a pouty look when she’s frustrated or sad. Not being the most fashionable girl around, she wears comfy off-brand t-shirts and blue jeans, which doesn’t help her reputation. She completes her look with a bubblegum pink backpack and a book…or two…or three. Other: Roxy and her older sister Stella have a close relationship and she often looks to her for a little advice and cheering up. But even being one of her role models, Roxy can't depend on Stella to be there for her 24/7. She must learn to deal...yeah, not going so well. ------------------- Name: Stella Xalider Age: 17 Bio: Never heard of Stella? Where have you been?! She's one of the most popular girls in all of Stickler High! It's because of her beauty and talent, but most of all for her sincere heart. Her bubbly kindness she displays to all, no matter the person. But what she wants isn't friends...it's a successful acting career. It's been her #1 dream ever since she was a child and she'll do anything she can to make it come true. Growing up, she's acted in school & community plays, has auditioned for local radio shows, even has given her performances for the sick and needy. The thought of the city and her name in lights sparks excitement in her and she only wants to share it. Occupation: Student Personality: Fun is what Stella is and she's contagious. She's not afraid to be spontaneous and loves to take risks. Entertainment is her goal in life and she vows to do just that. She's in love with all things dramatic, including her fashion choices. It's no saying, this girl's got spunk. But during her downtime, she can provide great insight into situations, mostly directed towards her sister. Appearance: Stella knows she has to look the part, so she goes all out. Her tousled chocolate brown curls run past her shoulders and bangs cover her forehead. Her blue eyes are a replica of her sisters and are enhanced by an abundance of makeup. Now, her fashion....oh her fashion, the latest trends of 1996. Her well-put together outfits always consist of bright neons or plaid. Other: Stella absolutely loves watching TV and movies...she learns a lot from doing this. And of course, characters influence her. ----------------------- Name: Haleigh Ashford Age: 17 Bio: She's known for siding with a monster, but Haleigh hasn't always been this way. No, back in the day, she actually had a 'good' reputation. She was the girl people could come to when they had a problem and needed a listening ear. She was a volleyball team player who looked to the interest of others. But at the age of fifteen, all began to fade as her parents struck rich...and quick. They were lucky winners of the lottery! Haleigh was beyond ecstatic. Who wouldn't be for a million dollars? But as her parents let money get to their head, splurging this way and that, they constantly ignored her. Well, besides tossing a bit of cash her way. Haleigh was left to do everything for herself. The harder she tried to get their attention, she got nothing but loneliness in return. Even though she had a best friend who cared about her, depression crept into her heart. Did her parents not want her anymore? Was she worthless compared to the things money could buy? Bitterness against them formed and she began to search for what could take away her pain. What could make her feel better, like she was worth it. Haleigh began to live a double life. Faking good & happy by day and going to parties by night. She'd met some boys who got her into everything. And one of those boys happened to have a girlfriend named Adelie. To her surprise, Adelie talked to her and found her interesting. Well, she did have money and the looks...not that the outside mattered before. But being desperate, Haleigh played up her act so that Adelie became her friend. Abandoning everything she knew, Haleigh changed her identity and stepped into the bad girl world with the reward of popularity. She chose to become a follower instead of a leader, tearing people down to reach the top of the chain. Occupation: Student Personality: Haleigh portrays strength, confidence, and control. She's quick to speak in Adelie's defense. A fast liar and loves to twist words. Though her old way of thinking comes back to the surface at times, especially when seeing a certain someone. Guilt threatens and she fights with herself...but never wins. Appearance: As they say, Haleigh's beauty is only skin deep. She has a head full of natural golden brown curls that fall down her back. Her brown eyes gleam mean with dark make-up. She stands at around 5'6 and has a figure all girls envy. With fashion taste that mimics Adelie's, her designer clothing barely passes the dress code at times. Other: Haleigh's best friend Peter still remains in her life. And no matter how much she tries to avoid him while at school, he appears. Their friendship has always been strong and that isn't going to end anytime soon.
Kubi's first impression You know your going to have a bad day when the first word you say to some one is sex
HA! this is really diverse. I feel like I'm back in elementary. (not sure about were you live, but were I grew up we had a huge amount of diversity)
