Leila never really stood out; she had a small number of friends and that was good enough for her. Drawing attention to herself would only invite people to remark on the fact that she has a cochlear implant and has to always sit in the front row when she's not in special classes. If Leila has a reputation it's for being the girl who always has an earbud in as she's walking down the halls - though on closer inspection the earbud is a hearing aid on the ear opposite her implant. Leila, by senior year, is known as one of the 'disabled girls', a moniker bestowed upon her by the oh so gracious queen of the social ladder. It was meant to be a sign that she was exempt from mockery or the like (but at the same time afforded her little upward movement on the social ladder) but to Leila it was like being looked down upon and taken pity on; it felt like bullying by way of exclusion, intentional or otherwise. She tries to take it in stride, but when many just know her as 'the deaf girl' it's more than a little annoying. She isn't deaf. Not yet, anyway. She'd rather be known as the music girl or just...as anything other than being defined by what others perceive as a disability. [/indent] [sub][h3][color=15D44C]►[/color] current dilemma[/h3][/sub] [indent]Leila does struggle with school sometimes just because she has to focus on lips in class when there isn't a readily available ASL translator on hand. Her hearing is an issue even if she refuses to see it that way. Yes, she can't hear as well as people and has an implant, but she's not lesser because of it. She is concerned that her dreams of getting into the music industry, be it as a singer or a producer or musician, is an impossibile dream but if she started worrying about that, she'd never get anywhere regardless. Leila would rather try and make her dreams a reality insead of resign herself to a regret filled life because she gave up.[/indent][/indent] [center]▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃[/center] [center][h3]Details[/h3][/center] [indent][sub][h3][color=15D44C]►[/color] social media handles[/h3][/sub] [indent]Leila helps run the instagram and general social media account for Webb-Heads, which can be found at @WebbHeads Her personal instagram is @WebbOfSound where she posts a lot of pictures. Her Twitter account is @WebbTunes and sometimes she gets people thinking she's an online comic website.

She loves a good band tee just as much as she loves wearing a flannel or blazer jacker over said tee. Jeans, slacks, pants, rarely - as in damn near never- wears shorts. She's kinda self conscious about her legs; her dad says she just has her mom's hips but to Leila that just means she thinks she has sausage legs which make it easier to hide in pants than letting them hang out. For the first three years of high school, Leila had medium length dark brown hair, going into senior year she has cut it short and now has a pixie cut. She looks, in her mother's words, like "a biracial Winona Ryder from, like, after she was having sex with Johnny Depp." Her friend DJ opted for saying she looked, quote, "Like every lesbian's first crush."

Her mother, Tae Su-Hwa, is a former Kpop Idol who was the center of P.R.D.; Su traded the microphone for a briefcase as she now owns one of the only female-run entertainment agencies in Korea. The myriad of Kpop fans in the western world have made it very clear that Ellie basically comes from royalty - something that annoys her to absolutely no end. It was the decision of Ellie's father, Nick Walters, that she attend school in America because at the time it seemed she would be able to avoid the frenzy that comes with her genetics. Now into the senior year, Ellie has carved out her own sort of niche when it comes to BHHS' social hierarchy. She's not at the top, but she's nowhere near the bottom. People know her as the girl that plays bass outside during lunch and as the girl who punched a sophomore who kept asking her if Ellie's mom could get a kpop group to play their sweet sixteen. The detention was worth it. Other than being a fan of punk music and skilled at fingering a bass, Ellie sort of keeps a low profile, she never seems to get excited nor does she ever seem to get overly angry. She's chill. And seemingly a little anti-social but only by reputation, not by deed. [/indent] [sub][h3][color=0BB2B4]►[/color] current dilemma[/h3][/sub] [indent]Ellie wants to pursue music in a professional capacity but doesn't want to rely on the connections that her parents have or be thought of as some kind of 'nepo hire'. To that end she's trying to find a band that shares her passion for actually making music and not just fucking around in a garage or a talent show performance. She's also looking for someone to go bowling with. In a romantic sense. As in a date. But who isn't looking for that? Her lack of extracirriculars and willingness to put all her eggs in a single basket means her post-high school education prospects are...grim and that's a conversation she can't keep putting off forever but damn if she won't try.

She certainly and probably has, but as far as anyone knows Ellie's default outfit consists of black combat boots, fishnets, and a skirt with a top to match. Her colors tend to skew towards darker colors, blacks and reds and blues being her favorite, but on ocassion she's rocked beige or grey. Bright colors aren't really her thing. At least not on her. She much prefers bright pastels, pinks and whites and yellows, on pretty girls. While her outfits might not win any awards in terms of high fashion or the like, what helps her standout is the various ways she wears her hair. She likes to keep it medium and scruffy, for that 'just had a dirty makeout session in an alley' look along with bangs that cling to her forehead, and she often keeps it in a tight topknot bun. She has dark brown hair but has dyed it different shades often not realizing that doing so makes her more like her mother than she would care to admit. She has the four card suites on her fingers. She draws them on because she doesn't know if she wants to get a tattoo. On the one hand, a tatoo would really anger her mom. On the other...she kinda hates needles.[/indent] [sub][h3][color=0BB2B4]►[/color] ride & everyday items[/h3][/sub] [indent]Her vehicle of choice is a red Kia Stinger GT2. It has generous trunk space.

While her brother might be more known to the fans of high school athletics - if only because men's sports are always more popular - Tristan is no slouch in that department. She can turn almost anything into a competition, even something as simple as eating lunch; add in her hatred of losing and Tristan can come off as a little intense when she is 'on'. She likes to think of herself as driven, determined, but not obsessed. Yes, she absolutely hates to lose but she'd rather lose in a good, fairly fought contest than win in a complete shut out. Some people have mistakenly placed her as part of The Elite, but the only connection she has is being in a...[i]beneficial[/i] relationship with Mikey O'Connor. They aren't dating (anymore) which is what makes their relationship beneficial. As friends. Tristan can sometimes come off like a bully but it's never her intention - she just hates when people give up or, worse, don't even try. But if you show determination and drive and a willingness to try, she'll support anyone. Those fortunate enough to be her friend also know that outside the driven, fiercely competetive exterior is an interior gentle soul who loves animals and enjoys lazy days. Don't ever tell her she can't do something, she will find a way to do it. Her intense drive is also why she seems to have trouble maintaining a relationship. And she has a tremendous fear of public speaking.

She'd like to step out of the shadow that she believes she's been living in and find what makes her happy on her own terms, whether that means going for the gold or changing paths to something less...demanding.

She will, of course, wear jeans but she doesn't go in for expensive, designer clothes. She dresses for comfort and function more than she does for fashion. At home on weekends she will wear sweatpants and old graphic tees. A secret known only to a very select few is that Tristan has reading glasses and she looks absolutely cute in them.

It's a well known secret that Penny Amato isn't their birth name but most people, at this point, have stopped trying to work out the mystery of Penny's family and have just accepted that Penny is just another face in the halls. Albeit a very nice face, by all accounts. No one could deny that Penny is a bit of a nerd, they play TTRPGs and even have a character that they have played as for years and they have a decently well known Twitch stream where they just build and paint model kits while talking to the chat or reading things sent to them - because Penny's other well known feature is their voice. Penny has a unique voice, it's husky and smooth which Penny learned makes some people feral - one time they went on mic while playing Valorant with some friends and the randoms on the team spent the entire match asking her to say things like 'Hi honey' and 'Ara ara'. They didn't get it at first. That combination of voice and face was also what made them a bit of a mainstay in the theater department of BHHS, appearing in performances since Freshman year and auditioning for masculine and feminine roles. Penny's reputation at BHHS is fairly positive. As far as they know they don't have any enemies but they're also savvy enough to know how to play the game - which only adds to the rumor that they have some knowledge of social climbing thanks to the mysterious family. Whether on stage or just hanging out, it's hard not to notice Penny whether they want it or not. Some want to be their friend, others just want to know what their deal is, but the only family Penny is interested in talking about is the families of the fantasy novels they read. [/indent] [sub][h3][color=73997E]►[/color] current dilemma[/h3][/sub] [indent]Penny doesn't really have any post high school plans. They don't exactly want to get into acting but nor do they want to be a career barista. Penny would like to maybe be an author but they have no confidence in their own writing, even though they're part of the BHHS literary magazine and have helped with scripting in theater productions. Secretly, Penny thinks it'd be cool if they got to be in the running for Prom King or Queen but they're smart enough to know that those roles are basically filled before the prom even happens. But maybe this year is the year that the status quo is shaken up. It is the last chance, after all. Penny also has a wealth of expectations put on them by their family, but that's a can of worms that Penny refuses to open with classmates.[/indent][/indent] [center]▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃[/center] [center][h3]Details[/h3][/center] [indent][sub][h3][color=73997E]►[/color] social media handles[/h3][/sub] [indent]Penny has a Twitch stream where they build model kits and interact with chat. To their surprise, it has earned her a decently niche following and some extra pocket change - it turns out people on the internet will totally donate to get Penny to read fanfiction or tongue twisters or innuendo comments while they paint some tabletop figures or build a Star Wars ship. Their Twitch handle is 'PenNPaper' which is also their Twitter handle. On Discord they just go by Penny as their display name with the username being amatotomato. [/indent] [sub][h3][color=73997E]►[/color] style [/h3][/sub] [indent]Some people put in a lot of effort to make it seem like they didn't actually put in effort, but in Penny's case they actually don't put in much effort at all. Penny dresses as if they buy their entire wardrobe from Goodwill or Salvation Army, a whole lot of old jeans and baggy shirts like hockey jerseys or button up flannel and khakis. If there is any regularity with their outfits, it's a preference for sleeveless shirts. They wear Converse shoes a lot but they will wear a pair of shoes until its falling apart. The only consistent aspect of Penny's style is that their hair, unless in a play, is always shaggy and unkempt, and yet even then their bangs always seem to be styled slightlt differently every day.[/indent] [sub][h3][color=73997E]►[/color] ride & everyday items[/h3][/sub] [indent]Penny's car of choice is an Alfa Romeo Giulia but they don't have one. What they do have and drive is a Volkswagen Arteon R-Line in Kingfisher Blue. Even that car is a bit richer than they'd care to admit, but it was a sweet sixteen gift. Or so they say.[/indent] [sub][h3][color=73997E]►[/color] occupation[/h3][/sub] [indent]Penny is a barista at Plouf Cafe and Bakery. Penny does not bake anything but does enjoy tiramisu and the croissants. They do latte art and have gotten better at it though most are satisfied with them just making a heart in the latte.[/indent] [sub][h3][color=73997E]►[/color] extracurricular activities[/h3][/sub] [indent]Penny is a member of the BHHS literary magazine and is a known figure in the theater department. Even if they don't get a part after auditioning, Penny will still help put on a play even if in a stagehand role.[/indent][/indent] [center]▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃[/center] [center][h3]Questionnaire[/h3][/center] [indent][sub][h3]Friends would describe me as _______.[/h3][/sub] [indent][color=73997E]"A rules nerd. No, seriously, I have a bad habit of annoying the DM because they sometimes don't know the rules of the classes in the group. I mean, I don't do it often but I've done it enough that it's kind of a running gag with my group. I don't know, I think my friends would describe me as nice or friendly or whatever, it's boring. I don't have anything more exciting or interesting than that. I'd describe my friends as annoying because some of them bother me at work which is cool and all but then they start asking for free cakes but all I can give them is a biscotto. No, I don't know why an Italian cookie is in a French themed cafe but I don't make the menu, I just brew the coffee and get awkward flirts from customers."[/color] [/indent] [sub][h3]In my free time I like to _______.[/h3][/sub] [indent][color=73997E]"Read books.

I got to play the part of Billy Bones who, you know, is basically only in the play for one scene. I got to have a stage sword fight, it was cool. I got the part because no other kid, not even the boys, could have a piratey gravely rasp to their voice but I could even though I needed a lot of water and tea at home after. Anyway, the best part was after when someone in like third grade saw me in the hallway a few days later and said I was really good in the play. I never thought I'd consider stage acting until then. So I guess thanks to that kid, I hope they're doing cool."[/color][/indent] [sub][h3]If I could tell my younger self something, I would say:[/h3][/sub] [indent][color=73997E]"You don't have to hide, people are way more willing to accept you these days.
