[indent][color=9a9797]Lavanda had always sought solace in desolate places; as long as she had something to read and a snack to munch on, Lavanda could be entertained for hours. Once she was focused—the quiet arrived—it stayed and spread in Lavanda. Outside her bubble of concentration, Lavanda was a sociable and personable person; she knew when to joke, knew when to listen, and knew when to talk. Being an older sister, she tends to be easy to anger and often acts upon her anger upon impulse. [/color][/indent]

[indent][hider=welp][color=9a9797]Lavanda is the oldest daughter of Emiliana De Los Angeles; her younger brother's name is Lucas and the three of them were an inseparable trio. For as long as Lavanda can remember—which is quite long, considering her impressive memory—it has always just been Lavanda, her mother and her baby brother. While she has never been interested in her father, her mother would always dreamily describe him as an angel that was god-sent and brought color to her life. Lavanda thought differently about him and if it were up to her, she would just as easily wipe him out of her mother's memories. Since just as much as his memory brought her happiness, it also brought her mother pain. Lavanda remembers the nights where her mother, after pulling a 24 hour shift, would come home to cry herself to sleep and often whisper his name. 

Right around the time her mother became more engrossed with providing for her children, Lavanda began plunging herself into the world of books. Initially it was just a simple attraction; she had started with simple books such as Holes by Louis Sachar and the Goosebumps series by R. L. Stine. Then she quickly moved on to broader genres and larger books; her mother, the ever proud mother, fed into Lavanda's hobby and would often surprise her with random (often uninteresting) books. Lavanda became fixated on these books and rather than writing reviews for them online like a normal avid book reader, she sought out to fix the mistakes she often saw these books make. Lavanda would make it her mission to rewrite the book—basically a fanfiction—while fixing plot holes and flat characters. However, the internet tends to be a scary place and as Lavanda was gaining popularity and traction, an author called her out on what she was doing, calling Lavanda unimaginative and lazy—resorting to plagiarizing someone else's story instead of writing her own. Motivated solely by spite, Lavanda wrote, edited and published her own original YA novel that same summer. Fame and recognition swept her off her feet while the high of having trumped that author inflated her ego all at the same time. Seeing as her brother was already attending a school for the "gifted," Lavanda tried her own luck. Now she's an incoming senior to Wellington Academy. [/color][/hider]

[indent][color=9a9797]Lavanda ended up with 4 boxes filled with just her "essential" books, those she cannot [i]live[/i] without. Amongst those books included 'I know why the Caged Bird Sings', 'Night', 'The Alchemist', 'Holes', and 'Goosebumps.' Aside from that, Lavanda made sure to pack her typewriter (bedazzled and filled with stickers), her laptop, her journal, and her pens. Everything else was essential everyday items.[/color]

[indent][color=9a9797]Contrary to his looks, Lucas has a very soft feel about him. Ask a stranger and they would describe him as a cold and uninterested individual. Ask someone who's exchanged words with him and they would most likely recite a speech on how attentive, caring and polite Lucas is, when in reality he falls somewhere in between. Lucas had stepped into the role of the caretaker early on in his family since both his older sister and mother were a catastrophe. So his overall demeanor took after learning how to care for his family, but his ability to easily remember images made him disinterested in a lot of things.[/color][/indent]

[indent][color=9a9797][hider=welp]Lucas is the youngest in his family, his only other sibling (and older sister) being Lavanda. Both defended their mother to the ends of the world since Lucas grew witnessing the sacrifices his mother would make to ensure both he and Lavanda led comfortable lives. He felt as if the least he could do was do well in school and stay out of trouble. However, since school heavily relied on memorization instead of actually allowing their students to learn, Lucas easily aced his tests but grew increasingly bored of his everyday life. 

Noticing his growing dissatisfaction, his mother and Lavanda would often recommend hobbies he could try. Lavanda always had him read her stories and blog posts, all of which he enjoyed, but overall reading was not his thing. One winter morning, the family had been out to a museum to spend the day—the first time Lucas ever went to one. Immediately upon walking through the gallery, something withing Lucas resonated. He found himself constantly interested in the paintings before him; each time he would look, he'd notice a different and new detail. It was no longer boring or as easily engraved in his memory. From then on, Lucas began painting and drawing. His mother, always supportive, made sure to provide Lucas with the supplies he needed to the best of her ability—he always made the most out of what she gave him.

During his middle school years, Lucas went on to receiving awards from contests he would join in school to eventually searching for more challenges. A teacher of his had recommended Wellington Academy to him as he entered his last year before high school; the mystery surrounding the school intrigued him enough for him to apply. Leaving his mother and Lavanda was one of the hardest things he had to do (they were his home) but once he arrived at Wellington Academy, he no longer felt as if life was boring. 

Now as an emerging Sophmore at Wellington, Lucas has received three Weller Stars during his stay. His very first one was awarded upon completion of a monthly tournament game the principal loved to have. Thereafter, Lucas made it his mission to continue gaining more stars. His most recent star is the one he's most proud of; he had designed and painted a mural of a tunnel that students first go through before reaching Wellington Academy. [/hider][/color]

[indent][color=9a9797]Lucas made sure to pack all his painting supplies, including the very first painting set his mother got for him as a memento. Lucas also has a small journal Lavanda gifted him with random short stories she wrote before he left to dorm at Wellington (he's already finished it, but sometimes likes to revisit the stories). Aside from that, everything else he had packed were everyday items.[/color][/indent]
