Asélie Cadieux

Sixteen

115 Applen Avenue

Some might see Asélie as someone who is brash and obnoxious. Others might see her as one of the "cool kids" of Everbook High. Both viewpoints have some truth to them.

Delinquent: Asélie has always been quite the troublemaker since before the move to Everbrook. She's the type to freely skip school, ride her skateboard where she isn't allowed, and maybe smoke a little weed on the side. You only have one childhood; there isn't a need to be boggled down by rules yet.

Outspoken: Kind of a hot head, Asélie doesn't mince her words and says whatever is on her mind. This often leads to her getting into arguments and fights, some of which have been physical.

The Cadieux family were planned to be a temporary addition to Everbrook, Maine, having moved to the city from Montreal, Canada following Étienne Cadieux's promotion to oversee company investments within the state. Whilst her father saw it as a chance to do good for his nuisance-causing daughter, Asélie, on the other hand, saw it as betrayal. Sure, her parents may have been getting complaints about her skateboarding and loud music, but Montreal was all Asélie knew. Her popularity, friends and connections—she'd have to give it all up in favor for a no-name city where she had nothing.

Begrudgingly, Asélie accepted the move, but the damage had already been done, furthering the divide between parent and child. Abusing her status as the new "foreign kid", Asélie began to lash out at her parents in the only way she knew—staying out past curfew, partying with her classmates, and being a general terror to the neighborhood—until her father's work or her parents brought them back to Montreal. It never did.

Now, almost three years later, Asélie is running out of steam, and in turn growing acquiescent with her new life as her father seems to continuously find work to do. She would still much prefer going back to Montreal, but perhaps it wouldn't hurt to give Everbrook a chance.

Good-natured: Danny is, ultimately, a basically nice person who’d like to get along with just about everybody. He’d never put anyone down or try and make himself out to be superior to them, and he’s unflinchingly polite. At times, this overlaps with a kind of severe conflict aversion – though you’d never guess it from seeing him on the field, he hates interpersonal conflict more than anything, and will appease, acquiesce, or back away on anything just to get out of it.

Popular: Star wide receiver of the football team combined with his generally positive attitude means Danny’s a pretty well-liked guy. His family is respected around the town, and he gets along pretty well with the Everbrook High ‘in crowd’. Those on the social periphery might consider him ‘just another popular kid’, and in truth he could do more to curtail some of the bullying his peers engage in (see: adverse to conflict), but most would have neutral-to-positive feelings towards him.

Smarter than he looks: Danny’s not a leader, preferring to have someone else call the shots. It’d be wrong to assume that he’s a dumb jock, however – he’s a deep thinker, and he’s always paying attention. In school, he’s a middling student – he’d be better if he had more time to study, and math continually evades him, but his command of history and English are pretty good, and he’s got a decent mind for problem-solving.

Danny’s lived in Everbrook his whole life. His parents met in Portland, and moved out to Everbrook to start a family. Now, his father is the chief of the local fire station, and his mother works as a public defender; they’ve been living in Everbrook for 20 years, and their active presence in the community as well as the nature of their jobs means that they’re well-regarded by the community as a whole. He has two siblings – an older brother, Jacob, who’s currently attending college in Massachusetts, and a younger sister, Anjelica, who’s entering her second year in middle school.

As soon as he was old enough, Danny tried out for the Everbrook High football team, and he’s risen to prominence as their star wide receiver. He’s already been approached by scouts from several colleges interested in giving him a scholarship to play for them – he’s got friends, a normal family life, prospects, hobbies. Seems like there’s nothing terribly strange coming up in his future.

Right?
