Position
Oldest daughter of the Reese family. New owner of the Queen's Orchid diner.

Secret
Open Secret: Bisexual. She has not officially announced anything to her family, but there has always been rumors & her college friends absolutely know.

School
Abigail graduated Millington University three years ago with a Master of Business Administration.

Occupation
Owner/manager of the Queen's Orchid diner.

Personality
Abi is typically an outgoing person who is very empathetic towards others. If you ever need someone to care for you, Abigail is your girl. Her father use to joke that she had twice the heart of her mother and should have gone into nursing school instead. With empathy comes emotion, and thus, Abigail can become rather emotional. She isn't the best at hiding her feelings and never has been. She always tries her very best to stay positive and keep a smile on her face, though in depressive situations she might burst into tears at any given moment.

Abigail has always been the "girly" type, and often enjoys getting her hair or nails done. She's a massive advocate of yoga, manicures/pedicures, as well as the occasional massage. Like her mother, she values mental health and is typically liberal in her political views.

Being the eldest of the children, Abigail grew up quickly in order to help take care of her siblings as well as help around the diner. Due to this, she is often referred to as mature for her age and seems to be much more responsible than other people in her age group.

Birthday
December 3rd 1987
Age
31


6'2
175 lbs
Black hair, light blue eyes. Often seen with messy, "just rolled out of bed" hair.

Position
Lives in the countryside. Leading the investigation on the Reed family disappearance case.

School
Attended Sacramento State University and graduated with a BA in Law Enforcement. Went on to complete Millington's Police Training Academy in order to be hired onto the force.

Occupation
Detective.

Personality
To sum it up, Levi is a sarcastic smart ass. Much to the chagrin of his fellow police officers, Levi loves a good prank and often has no idea when to be serious. Much of his coping mechanisms are to defer to humor, which has annoyed many a girlfriend in the past. While sarcastic, if he's serious about something, he's very blunt and to the point. A pet-peeve of his is beating around the bush during any type conversation. Whether it be interrogating a suspect or finding a girl attractive, he's typically going to say exactly what's on his mind and he'd like it if you did the same.

In college he was a heart breaker of sorts, floating from girl to girl at his whim. The female gender would flock to him and he barely had to try. Now in his 30s, he's decided that he no longer wants to play the dating game. He's had his fun. Of course, he can't help but have that sultry charisma (or maybe it's his looks? He never knew), but he no longer intends to use that just to obtain a one night stand.

You see her up at the top there? I know you see her.

JARREK GARRETHORN

DOB: 08/13/1977

Age: 41

Appearance

Height: 5’ 3”
Weight: 369 lbs
Tends to wear a tweed jacket that has one hole in its pocket (can never remember which hole), has a pair of aviator glasses that are tinted yellow (Think John Goodman from The Big Lebowski) that has an attached flipper clip on. His ‘musk’ is a hint of cat piss even though he puts on way too much cologne

Location
MillCreek Hollow Apartment Complex; Neighbor; Apartment 1B

Education
Has a Bachelors in Invetigative Journalism (Potentially with a few warrants attached to it)

Occupation
’Crackpot’ Journalist for the Millington Post

Personality
Big, Bombastic, and completely full of himself. This man has ambitions to reveal the truth no matter the cost. While most would find him crude and untolerable, his editor simply lets him keep his job as a journalist simply because... he’s really the only one to bring in the dough with his ludicrous stories. Even so, he’s kept on a tight leash and this displeases him to the point where he goes through other methods to discover ‘the dirty scoop’. Nothing is beneath him, bribery, extortion, breaking and entering, sex, murder (would make for a killer story) NOTHING. He’s here to bring the people the truth, even if they can’t handle the truth.

Biography
No one really knows how Jarret came to Millington; mostly because anyone curious enough to ask got a different story every time. The few that stick to mind are, that he was the overseer at Guantanamo Bay, he got close enough to Osama that he could have sold out all of Al Qaeda, but Obama shut it down and the bastard got away and Navy Seal Team Six got all the damn credit. Another recounting was when he was an evangelist of the church of universal vaginatariaism, who worshipped the Mother Mary as their Lord, but he was excommunicated when he accidentally exposed himself to a younger clergy member (aka the youngest daughter of their priest). All in all, the stories only get more ridiculous, most think of him as a loon, and those who don’t are wary enough to see the warning signs. How many licks does it take to get to the center of Jarrek? The world may NEVER want to know.

Position

Secret
Not So Secret: Is in danger of having to repeat a year at school if she doesn't pass a summer course


School
Grade 11 at Millington High School

Occupation
Technically she's the dishwasher at the Queen's Orchid but the only time she ever shows up to the family diner is when she can snag free food without having to work a shift for it. Her other siblings, excepting Meg, get to do the not shit jobs and she thinks it's blatant favoritism and that is something she won't support. She applied online for a position at Planet Rose but they didn't even let her interview when she showed up, something about age restriction. Her most recent attempt at getting a job was at the Roxy Cinema but they wanted her to clean up popcorn and sticky soda in a dimly lit space and if she wanted to clean gross stuff that people left behind she'd just go back to the diner.

Brina is currently unemployed. The world might need ditch diggers but that doesn't mean she'll be the one doing it.

Personality

If the Reese family had a swear jar, Sabrina would account for eighty percent of it; she's at that age. The age where profanity sounds cool and fun and so naturally she uses it almost too much, which of course is a lot less fun now that people think she's doing it as some sort of coping mechanism. It was when Ms. Hayes didn't give her a detention for calling geometry 'fucking stupid' that Sabrina released what a gold mine she was sitting on. In wake of the goings-on with her parents and the kid sister she didn't have time to tease people started treating her different with the whole silent notion of "Oh she's grieving."

Sabrina was never much of a griever but she was quite boisterous and that hasn't changed.

A running joke that Brina has with Meg was that Meg "stole all the brain power" from Brina given that of the Reese siblings, Sabrina is far and away the least intelligent. She's not willfully ignorant and she's not developmentally challenged, she's a bad student and has a hard time applying concepts and retaining them. She uses her fingers to do simple addition and multiplication. But that never bothered her, nor did it bother her when counselors and teachers thought she might have had ADD or a disorder, and when she heard them discussing it in hushed tones with her dad during a conference she had to proudly proclaim that she didn't have a disorder she was just stupid.

Though just because she's stupid didn't mean she wasn't sharp. Book smart was one thing, but book smarts didn't help you understand people the way Brina seems to. Despite her low GPA and test scores, Brina is quite perceptive at times and often surprises people with her comments or suggestions that are never considered or overlooked. Her understanding of people is why she understands that even a few months gone she can use her family's troubles to her advantage. Normally that might strike one as a bit sociopathic but it's more like Brina is exploiting empathy: suddenly getting an F on a test is met with sympathy instead of a stern talking to and that's a gravy train she's willing to ride to potato town. Sabrina isn't a sociopath, she's practically a con artist and the con is making people think she's having trouble with grief.

When it comes to her siblings, she doesn't hate them but she can't shake the feeling that collectively they look at her like the black sheep even before everyone started to be moody and depressed. Because of her way with people, Brina has taken the opportunity to try and use her unique position as the forgotten outlier of the family (her words, no one else's) to get her brothers and sisters to stop caring so much about their dead mom and their likely just as dead father and sister. It likely hasn't worked but someone in the household has to be the loud one. At least until she moves out. Then they're on their own.

Short Bio

It's always hard being the middle child, but Sabrina Reese feels like she's going through life on very hard mode.

If Robin was the problem child then Sabrina was the wild one, the one who would break two plates just because she liked the way it sounded on shattering and then blame it on whoever could take the fall. It was often Megara up until Megara started being all smart. To say she favored either parent or sibling would be untrue. She often mocked - and still does - Abigail for being a clone of their mother which led to a particularly bad moment in the weeks after the suicide where Brina, in a fit of annoyance, shouted at Abigail to "follow in mom's footsteps if you wanna be her so badly!"

That was not a good night for Sabrina Reese.

Sabrina used to think she was adopted since her hair was darker and longer than her siblings and parents and because of her shocking lack of intelligence and social grace and while her parents went out of their way to show Sabrina the birth certificate, she remains not fully convinced still. It's how she explains why she feels like an alien even among her family. Family was supposed to be this grand thing you can rely on, but in Sabrina's case she never really felt like she could - and she still really doesn't despite her trying to be the glue that mends the broken plate that is the Reese siblings of late.

The only thing she felt she got from her parents was her love of music. If Sabrina has one talent it's in music production. For her tenth birthday, Sabrina got a synthesizer and by age thirteen she was putting together crude mixes; she's only gotten better - she's on Soundcloud now - and if there's one thing she does miss about her parents it was the look of, well, pride they had when Sabrina played her first original piece. Sure it was a really bad drum loop with synth noises but dammit the applause and hugs after it felt good. Great, even.

She'd maybe like to feel that way again. Even just once.
