how would you describe their personality?

“Stop talking to me or be prepared to swallow your teeth.”

Tia has a demon lurking inside her, and contrary to popular belief she doesn’t want friends. She’s kept herself distant with pretty much everybody who has tried to interact with her, even when she is paired with them for school projects. For the casual observer she’s the clichéd rebel, the angsty girl who smells of cigarettes (who smokes actual cigarettes anymore?) and unlike other resident edgelords doesn’t give her opinion on things unless asked. She isn’t prone to being boisterous, preferring to lean into being a moody bitch that wants to be left alone.

Deep down there’s more to her, but it is an uphill battle getting her to show any sort of weakness, any sort of flaw. This mysterious loner schtick makes her appealing to a certain garden variety of men and she really hates it.

what has their life in Angel Grove been like?

Tia is new to “Angel Grove”. She doesn’t have much of a family and seems to spend more time being a burnout than actually improving her life.

what can they do? what are they good at?

Outside of how to waste all of her time doing absolutely nothing? Surprisingly, quite a bit. She’s perceptive, a good fighter (she claims she grew up doing jiujitsu), and has a keen eye when trouble is turning a corner. She can drive cars quite well for someone who barely has a California driving license, and knows Angel Grove a little too well for someone who hasn’t been in the state for more than a few months.

Somehow, danger excites her. That’s… not good.

how would you describe their personality?

From the outside looking in Sera looks like the happy-go-lucky cheerleader with the perfect life. She puts up a lot to keep up with this appearance because she doesn't like too many people knowing how she's feeling or what she's going through. She's fighting grief on a daily basis after the loss of her older brother and sometimes channels it in dangerous ways. She just wants to feel something besides her grief. She tends to focus on others and their lives so she isn't left alone to focus on her own thoughts. This is also why she tacks on a lot of responsibility.

She genuinely does care for others and their well-being. If she can't help herself she can at least help others. From her youth she's always been a natural-born leader taking after her father and Andre. She has a very protective nature for those who are smaller or a bit different and finds herself being more comfortable and open around them than her "popular" friends. She doesn't care about social status or cliques and just cares about who you are as a person.

what has their life in Angel Grove been like?

Sera's been living in Angel Grove for almost her entire life, ever since her dad retired from the military. She grew up the only girl with two brothers, her twin Sam and their older brother, Andre. She was always the spoiled daddy's girl and for a time wanted to join the military just like him. She spent most of her childhood at the local beach and park either swimming or participating in community events. She took an interest in gymnastics at a young age. It started off with her mom insisting that she'd try it, but she quickly fell in love with it. She felt free on the mat and like she could do anything. She struggled at first and almost quit but her dad taught her how not to quit just because things were hard or didn't work out at first. She applied this to every aspect of her life as she continued to grow. If she struggled with a subject she'd study harder. If she fell she'd get right back up again until she got it right.

School was fun for her. She found it easy to make friends, but often found herself getting in trouble for beating up bullies. Her parents never punished her for it, but tried to teach her that there were better ways to stand up for others without fighting. She tried to follow their methods, but sometimes a nose needed to be punched or a shin needed to be kicked. This got her to start taking Karate Lessons with Sensei Marco at the Community Center so she could learn discipline.

When she entered her freshman year in high school she was met with the devastating news that Andre was killed in action overseas. He was an Army Ranger just like their father. The news shattered Sera's world. She always looked up to her brother as someone who was invincible. She never imagined he would die like that or at all. She was in denial for a long time and threw herself into school, friends, and extracurricular activities to keep her mind off it and from feeling the loss. This led her to become captain of varsity cheerleaders at the end of her sophomore year and a 4.0 student.

When she turned seventeen she convinced her parents to let her get her motorcycle license so she could legally drive Andre's bike. They reluctantly agreed, still worried about how poorly she's been processing his death. They initially gave her space, but have forced her to see a therapist so she can work out her feelings.
what can they do? what are they good at?

Despite refusing to process her own feelings, Sera's very good at reading people. She can cook and is very acrobatic. She's a pretty good fighter, having learned military combat from her dad and karate from Sensei Marco. She's a sharpshooter as well and has known how to dismantle and reassemble guns since she was in elementary school. She can be a bit reckless with it, but she's also an excellent motorcyclist.

how would they react to danger?

how would you describe their personality?

Danny is kind, energetic, and affable. He is the kind of guy who seems to know everyone's name, and is the first to jump when a volunteer is needed for... well, anything so long as it doesn't interfere with sports. He isn't the best student, but he tries harder than most of his teammates despite ending up with the same middling grades. That is the kind of guy Danny is: he puts 110% into anything he does, even when it doesn't pan out. He always puts in the work with a smile on his face.

He is fiercely loyal to his friends and family, willing to drop anything to come to their aid at a moment's notice. He hates being the decision maker, though, and is terrified of failure. The last thing he wants is to let anyone down, be it his loved ones or his teammates. It's why he throws everything he has into any problem. He loves the company of others, and takes great pride in the accomplishments of his friends and teammates as if they were his own. Part of why he pushes himself as hard as he does is to make the lives of those around him easier.

what has their life in Angel Grove been like?

Danny was born and bred in Angel Grove. His father is the athletic director of the local high school and coach of the football team, and his mother is a nurse at the local hospital. He has a younger sister who is a freshman who hates how protective Danny gets. To most, he seems to be set up to have the perfect high school life. Behind the scenes, Danny has always had tremendous pressure on his back. His father failed to make it to the Draft after college, and has tried to drill his own dream into his son. Danny's mother has always been far too busy with work to give him encouragement. Danny has been in a sport every season, alternating between football, wrestling, baseball, and whatever martial arts classes he could shove into his summer training seasons. He enjoys classes as they give his body a break and let him spend time with his friends. He isn't exceptionally popular, but is fairly well-liked and often goes out of his way to befriend anyone he can.

what can they do? what are they good at?

Danny is an athlete, through and through. He is fast, strong, and nimble. He is an exceptional wrestler, but has also taken classes in Jiu Jitsu, Karate, and even a few kickboxing classes. He hasn't gotten in many actual fights, though, just spars or official matches. Danny doesn't tire easily, as he is used to pushing his body to its limits. He is a good swimmer, and has training in CPR and some basic first aid knowledge. He knows his way around treating sports injuries, having sustained a few himself. As for soft skills, Danny always has an inspiring speech or heart to heart conversation he can offer in dire times. The only way to win a game, or save the world, is if everyone is amped up and ready to win.

how would they react to danger?

Danny would immediately focus on getting others out of harm's way, carrying people if he had to. Minimizing harm is always his top priority.

Seraphina Henderson

The closest of the five Danny has to an actual friend, Sera is a go-to study partner. He views her as reliable and values her determination. Their "friendship" is pretty superficial, but he finds comfort in what interactions they have.

Matteo Rosales

Danny and Matteo get along well enough, but are clearly from two entirely different worlds. He cannot keep up with the tech whiz's intellect, and Matteo's carefree demeanor is antithetical to Danny's entire ethos. Talking to Matteo is hard, especially when Matteo's existence stirs up some insecurities Danny has regarding his own limited academic capabilities: after all, Matteo is smart without having to even try. Danny and Matteo have seen each other at Sensei Marco's classes from time to time.

Charlie Anderson

Danny would consider Charlie a friend, even if their interactions have been short and fleeting. Danny is a bit too optimistic and trusting to see through Charlie's facade, and had instead taken her social mask at face value. He has ignored the red flags, and has not been at the receiving end of her sharper edge.

Haneul Lee

Danny and Han are oil and water in a weird way. Danny tries to remain civil, especially at games and rallies, but he isn't a fan of his classmate's spotlight-chasing attitude. Danny also has a hard time understanding the effort that Han puts into dance and performance, and doesn't see the mirrored reflection of his own dedication to his skills quite yet.

Tia B. Scott

Danny and Tia don't really know each other. Danny knows she exists, has seen her with her fellow burnouts smoking in the parking lot from time to time heading to practice.

how would you describe their personality?

Charlie Anderson is impossible to ignore.

She's the kind of girl who owns every room she walks into - not because she’s the nicest or the smartest, but because everyone can feel her presence before she even says a word. She’s bold, sharp tongued, and unapologetically confident. People either want to be her, be near her, or stay clear. And Charlie wouldn’t have it any other way.

But behind the effortless image and perfect façade, Charlie is constantly calculating. Every smile, every post, every outfit - all of it’s a performance, carefully curated. Because if she ever stopped shining, if people stopped looking, she’s not sure who she’d be anymore. Charlie thrives on being seen, but what she secretly craves is to be known. She’ll never admit it - not out loud, not even to herself - but beneath the layers of control and bravado, there’s a part of her that’s desperate for something real. Something that doesn’t depend on the reflection she’s built for everyone else.

what has their life in Angel Grove been like?

Charlie’s practically Angel Grove royalty. She was homecoming queen as a sophomore, runs the annual fundraisers, and somehow ends up in every yearbook photo without even trying. She’s not the top student; grades aren’t really her thing, but she doesn’t need them to be. Charlie wins on instinct, on charisma, and on the quiet power of being the person everyone else orbits around. Her confidence has edges and her compliments sting as often as they flatter. Her peers oscillate between admiring her and being intimidated by her, after all, she’s the one who can make or break your reputation with a look. People may whisper about her behind her back, but they still always show up when she calls.

Her parents are booked and busy. Her mom is a realtor who’s never off her phone, and her dad is a mid-level executive at one of the city’s endless startups - he travels for work more than he’s home. They love her and they’re proud of her (in that distracted, half-present way that ambitious parents are), but their attention feels transactional. Charlie learned early that praise comes when she’s performing well, when she’s visible. So she keeps shining, even when it’s exhausting. At the end of the day, Charlie’s used to eating dinner alone at the kitchen island, scrolling through her phone. It’s not bad, exactly... just empty. So she fills that silence with noise: people, parties, perfect photos. She shines bright enough so no one notices how lonely she is.

what can they do? what are they good at?

Charlie has a knack for turning any situation to her advantage. Whether she’s navigating social drama, organizing an event, or just walking down the hall, she notices everything - who’s watching, who’s whispering, who’s vulnerable - and knows exactly how to use it. Quick-witted, adaptable, and confident, she excels at reading people, delivering the perfect remark at the perfect moment, and keeping herself one step ahead.

As for more tangible talents, she’s quick on her feet, graceful, and coordinated - whether it’s weaving through crowded hallways, catching someone’s dropped notebook, or moving effortlessly to music in the dance studio. Her adaptability helps her handle surprises and unexpected situations with ease, and her confidence makes even small challenges seem manageable. From organizing events to keeping track of details others overlook, Charlie turns her sharp mind and natural poise into skills that make her life - and the lives of those around her - run a little smoother.

how would they react to danger?

Charlie’s instinct in a dangerous situation would be to act first and ask questions later. Sarcasm, sharp banter, and intimidation would often be her first line of defense, a way to throw off any aggressors and take control of the moment. After all, she’d prefer clever or indirect tactics over reckless heroics - she's got more style than brute strength. Instead of freezing, she’d perform, and even under pressure, Charlie would strive to maintain her composure - because losing control in front of others would feel almost as dangerous as the threat itself.

how would you describe their personality?

Matteo is curious by nature, but he's also someone who lives life from moment to moment, never worries too much about what might happen or what could happen. Too often is it that people stress about the mistakes about what they might make in a year or now if they don't study for this test or apply for this college now. While he understand that fear, life is too short to worry about what ifs. He chooses to stay in the now, live life as if you could die at any moment after the one you're living right now.

To those close to him, they know him to be a calm and collected young man. His family knows him to be immensely curious about all things, not just machines and the parts that make them up but life itself. Curious about the world is unraveling around them. He will never not wonder how he can help people and in his neighborhood, he tries to do that using the knowledge he has. There are more ways he could help, part of him knows this, but he hasn't found the questions nor the answers or any cheat sheets to help him understand it. All he knows is he feels like he can do more. He just doesn't know what.

Matteo only knows what he can do and that's help ease the stress of day to day things his people might have: broken ac, computer has a virus, ways to avoid getting charged from PG&E this month because they can't afford it. Matteo just wants to help and he's always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone that needs it.

what has their life in Angel Grove been like?

Not just Matteo himself, but the Rosales clan has been a mainstay in Angel Grove for close to 50 years. His great grandparents laid down roots and for generations, his family has held down the same home in their corner of Angel Grove. By all rights, they are what most would consider lower middle class. And Matteo is just the oldest of the current generation of Rosales men.

Since an early age, there's always been two things about him that stood out: his ingenuity and not just the desire to do good but willing to act on that desire. Sometimes this put a target on his back, but his parents always made sure he had the tools and skills to contribute to those desires. Whether this was making sure he knew how an engine worked as early as he could or when he started showing an intelligence and general curiosity for all things electronic, how to put together a computer that would evolve into curiosities that only he could teach himself. But sometimes the way he has always been would put another target on his back. People fear what they don't understand, so naturally every few years, bullies target him. It even got to the point where his charm and willingness to not escalate the issues wouldn't work and his Uncle Marco suggested he learn how to defend himself.

Matteo hated confrontation. In fact, he always avoided it if he could but he was also not a coward. Danger didn't scare him but he didn't have much common sense about it to begin with, so of course when his uncle suggested that he said yes immediately. For two years now he has been taking karate lessons and hasn't had to deal with a bully since.

what can they do? what are they good at?

Matteo, for as long as he could remember, has always been good at fixing things. Maybe it's because of his upbringing: one side of his family (his mother's), there's a long line of mechanics and car enthusiasts that helped him understand vehicles. He even learned how to take apart and put back together an engine before he was seven (with help, of course). On the other side (his father's), where the Rosales name comes from, is a collection of engineers of varying types, but his father is an electrical engineer who also loves to work on computers, so naturally some of the knowledge fell Matteo's way. Because of this, he's acquired some useful knowledge in being able to take apart not just cars but computers too and has a working knowledge of some electrical systems.

Curiosity is one of his strongest traits. He's not a cat so it won't kill him, but he loves to know how things work. He has gone through a lot of trial and error but with his knowledge, he has won several science fairs and uses his knowledge to help however he can. A lot of his neighbors call him instead of actual electricians because they can be expensive.

Aside from that, he has been taking karate lessons for about two years now. Long story short, he had a bully problem and nothing was being done with his approach, so his Uncle Marco on his father's side, teaches Karate at the community center, so Matteo has been taking classes there three times a week. He likes to think he's good enough to hold his own.

how would they react to danger?

Depends on the kind of danger. Life-threatening tends to ward him away but Matteo also wouldn't hesitate to help anyone who needed trouble. But there's also the curiosity in him to see what actually is causing this danger. The desire to know what it is and do what he can to help will always win the battle against common sense.

Seraphina Henderson -

Danny Jackson - I get the feeling Danny doesn't like me that much? I can't place it but I know he doesn't hate me but i always get the sense that me being around isn't his first choice. Or I could be wrong. Either way, I don't mind him. Just wish he'd loosen up a bit.

Charlie Anderson - My...acquaintanceship? Can we be friends? Screw it, we sorta friends! Okay, my sorta friendship with Charlie was a lot like sour patch kids. At first, I thought she was sour. Intimidating...whatever you wanna call it, but as time went on, I realized that, well, she's still kinda sour but a good sour. She's not that bad guys! Actually, strip away some of that outward personality and you'll find..ah, you'll figure it out yourself! I'm not gonna blab.

Haneul Lee - Han's so extra but I kinda dig that. Extra and flamboyant. Soooo flamboyant but I respect that. Individuality is hard to find and one that's not performative is even harder, yet Han has it in spades and it doesn't feel fake. Helps that I got used to it just by hanging around Sera. I can't imagine we'd be as close if i had just met him in a dark alley and he asked if I wanted to go shopping (I would have said yes by the by cause I lack any survival skills in that context, it seems!)

Tia B. Scott -

how would you describe their personality?

“I’m not extra. You’re just basic.“

Haneul is made for the spotlight. He’s charming, expressive, and commands attention with every word. He knows how to work a crowd, and isn’t afraid to steal the spotlight if you’re not using it. He talks with his hands, poses when he’s thinking, and walks like there’s always a camera somewhere watching. People either love him or think he’s allergic to subtlety, and he’s fine with both. He knows he’s pretty. And strong. And talented. And he will tell you. Every time. Beneath all the bravado, though, he’s a softhearted perfectionist who hides deep insecurity.

He believes in the power of aesthetics, that hope can be beautiful and that strength doesn’t have to look grim. When someone else falters, he’s the one who cracks a joke, strikes a pose, and reminds them they’re stars too. If you’re part of his circle, he’ll defend you with his whole heart. Hurt someone he loves, and you’re getting roasted *and* roundhouse kicked.

what has their life in Angel Grove been like?

Haneul’s family emigrated from Seoul when he was ten, his father taking a tech job in Angel Grove’s growing startup scene. While his parents dreamed of him becoming a software engineer, he dreamed of lights, choreography, and screaming fans. He’s spent years balancing school with cheer practice (it’s good for practicing dance), voice lessons, and uploading sleek K-Pop-style videos to his small but loyal online fandom under the name Lux.

At school he’s that guy. Fashionable, late to class because of rehearsals, always humming hooks from his latest upload. Teachers see him as “unfocused,” but he’s driven in ways they don’t understand. He’s saving up for summer auditions in L.A. and plans to debut as a solo idol before graduation.

what can they do? what are they good at?

He’s an expert dancer with impressive flexibility and coordination. Years of performing have given him stamina, spatial awareness, and a keen sense of rhythm. He also has the singing voice of an angel. He also has an eye for fashion and styling.

Socially, he’s a natural mediator. He’s charming enough to defuse tension with humor or empathy. It’s not manipulation; he genuinely feels people’s moods and adjusts to their emotions.

how would they react to danger?

He’ll crack a joke to calm everyone else’s nerves (and his own, let’s be honest). Then throw himself into harm’s way if it means saving someone.

Seraphina Henderson My bestie, my ride or die. We’ve been best friends since I moved to Angel Grove when I was 10. We became cheerleaders together, and we support each other in everything.

People like to assume I’m the Gretchen to Sera’s Regina, but that’s not true. We’re equals. We both shine together. When Sera’s leading, I’m hyping. When I’m performing, she’s cheering. That’s what makes it work.

Also, between you and me… her twin brother Sam? Kind of hot. I’ve had my eyes on him for a while. Is that weird? Probably. Do I care? Not even a little.

Matteo Rosales I know him through Sera, and from the interactions we’ve had, I like him a lot. He’s smart and seems genuinely nice. He’s easy to be around, and he never makes me feel like I have to dial myself down. I think we could be really good friends once we hang out more. I also fully plan to make him help me fix my ring light.

Danny Jackson We could not be any more different if we tried. He’s an all American Jock, and I’m a KPop Star in the making. Every time we talk, he looks like he’s trying to figure out if I’m joking or if that’s just how I am. (Spoiler: it’s both.) He’s polite, grounded, and honestly a little too serious sometimes… I’ll win him over one day. I always do.

Charlie Anderson We’re… figuring each other out. She’s got the same energy that I do. We’re either going to be best friends or drive each other insane, and honestly, I’m fine with either.

Tia B. Scott She’s intense I’ll give her that. I don’t know her well yet, but I get the sense there’s more to her than the “don’t talk to me vibe” she gives off suggests.
