[hider=Georgia Keen] [b]Name:[/b] Georgia Patricia Keen V [b]Age:[/b] 25 [b]Appearance:[/b] Taller than her father at 5’11”, Georgia is also broad shouldered. She has thick arms, with a soft layer of fat over them, and the same goes for her belly, bottom and thighs. She looks to be on the chubby side, but the muscle underneath is built on an active lifestyle, and physically arduous job. She has a round face, with soft features. She’s fair skinned, but with a slight ruddiness to her complexion, and has gray-blue eyes. Her hair is dirty blond, and is most commonly cut to a single length bob that falls around her neck. She wears a lot of denim, her favorite being bib overalls, usually worn with a T-shirt. If it’s warm and she's feeling adventurous, she might wear some denim shorts(or even Daisy Dukes!) but she often ends up feeling self conscious about her legs. If it’s cooler, she likes flannel too. At work, her attire is a set of mechanic’s coveralls in a deep indigo, with reflective patches on shoulders, around the middle, and around the cuffs of the legs. [hider=Image Ref] [img]https://i.imgur.com/hVd9wh4.jpg[/img] [/hider] [b]Personality:[/b] She's awkward and self conscious, particularly regarding her size. Despite a lack of self confidence, she's very smart, and quite technically minded. Georgia speaks with the local Appalachian accent, which makes her feel low-brow around out-of-state students she encounters around town. Even though she's not the most outspoken(or perhaps because of that), she's very helpful, and often eager to please. Her size regularly tricks strangers into being intimidated by her, but most people find out pretty quickly that she’s a huge pushover. Georgia has basically no interest in cars or engines, in and of themselves. That’s not to say she doesn’t enjoy her job; she likes the mechanical nature of the work, and driving the wrecker often lets her help people out of tight spots. She just might not have picked it, if she’d been given a choice. She has a subscription to Popular Mechanics, and likes reading the scientific and technical details around the machines that she works with. She has a passing interest in magic that’s been hampered by her father’s staunch disapproval. [b]Background:[/b] George Patrick Keen I was an Irish immigrant who moved to Sanctuary Hills in the early Twentieth Century. He was actually paid a hefty sum by the Town Council to come and open a mechanic’s shop, simply because nobody else would, and increasing reliance on motor vehicles made such a shop a necessity. Sanctuary Hills wasn’t George’s first pick, nor was he theirs, but neither could find any other options that suited their purposes, so they were stuck with each other. Over time, both the prejudice against the Irish and the stigma against magic waned, and by today, the Keen family is considered a cornerstone of the community. And likewise, Sanctuary Hills is now very much their home. The current owner of George’s Garage is George Patrick Keen IV, and he failed to produce any sons to pass the name to. As a result, his youngest daughter got the closest his wife would let her get to being a “junior.” Despite the fact that her name isn’t completely the same as her father’s, Georgia Patricia Keen has the little “V” on her birth certificate that lists her as the Fifth. Georgia was a shy child who didn’t make friends easily, and seemed habitually more interested in her Lego bricks than in dolls or clothes(or, later on, boys). She was widely praised in school for being well behaved, and for completing assignments without fuss, and when her daddy asked for help working on a car, she was the only one of her sisters who couldn’t seem to say no. George pushed her to learn his trade; she certainly picked it up easily enough, and never put up any fight over the subject. The only argument on the subject that they ever had was on whether to attend school for it. None of the George Patrick Keens before had done so, and her daddy thought it was insulting to his own skills that she wanted teachers other than himself. For only the second time since birth, Yvonne Keen stepped in on her daughter’s behalf and told her husband “No,” and Georgia got to go to school, if only long enough to complete the trade program for an automotive technician. She’s out of school and back to working at George’s Garage, and for the past couple years she’s even been driving the tow truck for the shop. [b]Magic Specialty:[/b] None to speak of, though she knows a simple spell for light, and a potion that can restore rusty metal. The potion has patchy results(largely owing to Georgia not knowing how to alter it for specific materials), and she doesn’t bother with it often. This little bit of magic were the first things she picked up. She tried to learn more than this, but when her father found out, they had one of their rare fights, and in the end she promised she wouldn’t play with it anymore. She’ll still cast her light spell anytime she’s alone(sometimes just because it’s neat), and if she resorts to the rust potion, she has to make sure her father’s out of the shop for a few hours. [b]Other:[/b] Besides her father’s tow truck, she drives a yellow 1983 Subaru Brat. [hider=Relationships] [b][Everyone] -[/b] Georgia is not very sociable, and isn't likely to approach directly. But on the other hand, she's often too polite to exit a conversation that's been started. If you own a car, it's very likely you've paid her to do something to it, although you wouldn't have necessarily met her directly. She never works the desk at George's Garage, so a lot of customers never even see her unless they need a tow. [@Expendable] [b]Samantha "Sam" Igorina Semenova -[/b] I don't imagine they have much to do with each other now, but they're both locals. Being around the same age in a small town, they definitely knew each other in school(or, at least knew [i]of[/i] each other). Despite being a grade above Sam, Georgia had a little bit of a crush on her, but certainly never approached her directly. [@kalanggam] [b]Valeriano "Val" Lumungsod O'Connell -[/b] The arrangement you described is great, but also definitely under the table. Here's how it came about: Val had a breakdown(probably not his first one, but a big one) and went to George's Garage, but the fix was way out of his budget. Georgia happened to be nearby to see him leaving, upset and unsure what he was going to do. She felt bad, and quietly followed him outside. Out of earshot of her father, Georgia offered to do the work for the price of parts, plus a twenty. The work is usually done in a small parking lot behind Phil's. She actually really appreciates his frank speech and authenticity, and actually says yes sometimes when he invites her to hang out. To date she has adamantly refused to do anything that resembles "nightlife." [@naomimyselfandi] [b]Aoife Fitzgerald -[/b] There's a sad irony that these two have a lot in common, but are unlikely to have met(in large part [i]because[/i] of some of their shared traits). But it's only a matter of time until this disparate group of people forms into a core friend group(fingers cross)! [@shagranoz] [b]Rose Blossomdew -[/b] I think they almost certainly have never met, but if you have an idea I'm all ears. [@Fading Memory] [b]Tobias Malkinson -[/b] She gets a little anxious whenever she has an unanswered letter, so despite living in the same town, they've somehow become pen-pals. She doesn't notice when he's asking questions of academic importance, and just does her best to answer; even if her answer is just "I don't really know, sorry," or else "Obviously pull the lever. One is less than five, what kinda question is that?" She likes his car because it's interesting, her father likes it because it's expensive to repair. So everyone's happy. [/hider] [/hider]
