Carole Thornton

Carole, 14

Calamity Jane. Aspiring musician and George Michael enthusiast.

❱❱❱❱ FULL NAME

Carole King (yeah, as in the singer) Thornton

❱❱❱❱ NICKNAME(S)

-Carole
-C.T

❱❱❱❱ DATE OF BIRTH

May 16 1971.

❱❱❱❱ GENDER

Female

❱❱❱❱ APPEARANCE

Carole plainly reflects her jauntiness may it be through dressing up or by just how she generally looks. She stands at 5'4, though scaling a bit on the slim to fit side, Carole has not completely outgrown her baby fats. That or the girl just couldn't get a hold of her appetite. "She's a growing girl, after all." Her father would usually say. She has a look of a typical southern cowgirl, dirty blonde hair, sunkisssed cheeks and tan lines and a discernible Tennessee accent that she fruitlessly attempts to hide. Her eyes looks platinum at first glance, but is actually a rich blue tint when you get a real good look at it. Her dimples would show whenever she smiles, which is not so often difficult to make her. She keeps her hair long, up to her waist which her mother would religiously brush or fondly braid into pigtails back when Carole would still let her. Now though, she'd rather just pony it herself. Carole isn't one for dressing up though her mom and aunts would push her to be more ladylike. Overtime she grew accustomed of Sunday dresses, but would still prefer a crop top shirt or flannels donned over or tied to her waist, a pair of faded cut off shorts and boots/chucks any day .

❱❱❱❱ PERSONALITY

Carole grew up with loving and supportive role models who attentively raised her to be equally the same. She acquired her compassion for everything living and breathing from her father who was a vet from the city way before he moved to the country.A good 80 percent of her personality (and looks) came from her mom, a wild and spunky cowgirl who worked as a singer before she met her dad. Despite growing up in the deep south Carole was raised in a non conservative household and her parents would encourage her to do whatever she wants without the limits of orthodox ideologies. Though she partly acknowledges the concept and morals of Christianity through her mother and aunts, Carole was never really brought up to such convictions. She was brought up to the idea that no one should restrain themselves to getting whateveer makes them happy hence her strong will, or a better word would be stubborness, to achieve what needs achieving.

Gonna start working on a sheet here soon.

Also, damn you all for getting me to watch Stranger Things. Now I'm hooked xD

[HalfOfLancelot]

@Turboshitter Man. Man. Man.

It's so good tho isn't it? Dw, you might think it's pretty cool right now; it gets even better the deeper you go. ;D And fucking creepy too sometimes. It gives a real big Alien 80s type horror feel and it sets a really good atmosphere with its music. THRILLING HUH. AND DON'T YOU LOVE THE CHARACTERS? (WINONA RYDER IS BAE)

@HalfOfLancelot

THE MUSIC IS BEAUTIFUL. I WANT TO FUCK THIS MUSIC. I WANT TO FEEL THIS MUSIC ALL OVER MY BODY AS I-

*ahem* The music is pretty good, yeah. Reminds me of all the eighties sci fi movies I used to watch with my parents as a kid. I think I'm gonna invite my dad to watch it with me this weekend.

And it's pretty creepy already, which is what I loved about 80s sci fi. It wasn't afraid to be deep and unsettling instead of just startling you. Even the sci fi movies meant for kids could get pretty creepy sometimes.

Noah Castillo

Noah, 14

“Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.” ― Helen Adams Keller, 1880 - 1968

❱❱❱❱ FULL NAME

Noah Ellis Castillo

❱❱❱❱ NICKNAME

Ellis

❱❱❱❱ DATE OF BIRTH

August 07, 1971

❱❱❱❱ GENDER

Male

❱❱❱❱ APPEARANCE

Since Noah is half Filipino and half Caucasian, his appearance is unique in the small town of Red Herrings. His eyes are almond shaped and have dark brown irises, making them look almost black. He has his father's angular face and his mother's large and thin mouth. The complexion of his skin color is medium brown and his nose is aquiline, because of his mother's Spanish background. The hair color is black, common for most Filipinos, and it is wavy. His hair is like his father's hair, but it can grow longer. Because of his healthy diet and not eating out often, his body is healthy and doesn't appear to be too chubby. His height is the average of 5'4" for most Filipino men, making him taller than his 5'3" father. His accent is American with a tinge of Spanish with a melodic quality in his sentences, which is why he is a good singer.

Because of his appearance, he often wears clothes that make him look neat. He would often wear bold sweaters with different patterns with regular jeans. He also has some jacquard cardigans when the weather is cold enough or going out with friends. A boy would wear Converses or Keds, but Noah wears boat shoes often enough; however, he does have a pair of Keds that he wears while going out with friends.

❱❱❱❱ PERSONALITY

Noah grew with a stable family and they were pretty wealthy as well; however, his father taught him that people aren't as useful as resources. That makes him self-reliant, but he often blames his self for simple mistakes and feels guilty for asking peoples' help. He's also enlightened about the world around and knows things that no fourteen year old should. That's because of his mother since she showed him how to read newspapers and tell him about current events in the world. But, that makes Noah boring to some of his young friends since they rather play with games than talk about the Cold War.

If you get to know him, he's a romantic and imaginative person. Both of these personalities came from his mother and his self as well, given that they both love to draw and often would draw together once in awhile. He shares a couple personalities with him and one of them is that they are both realists. Orland had to work all day during his childhood and until he got enough money to go to college to become a doctor. He taught his son that the world is cold and harsh early on. Because of that, they both are anxious over simple things and mistakes.

Noah has been getting more anxious as he's becoming a teenager and something else is going on behind the scenes. He believes that he could have feelings for boys rather than girls. If his father finds out that he has feelings for guys, then he could get in trouble or worse. His father is catholic and believes that homosexuality is a sin. His mother won't know what to do, but she would most likely say that it could be a phase. Noah is hopeful that it's just a phase as well and he will be over with being gay by the time that he's an adult.

Because of that, he doesn't share personal stuff with his family and friends. His father is like that as well, meaning that he could hide secrets as well. And they both are focused on completing the task ahead and they don't like people who procrastinate often while working on something. Given his father's family, they were strict on him and punished him if he would procrastinate on homework. His father doesn't punish him if he doesn't do the work, but he would remind him of the work until he does it. As a teenager, he's getting annoyed by that and would often talk back or roll his eyes as his father is reminding him for the seventh time about his homework.

❱❱❱❱ FAMILY

Orland Leones Castillo, 48 – Father - Orland was originally from the Philippines until he met Luiza at his work place as a doctor. They spent fours dating before getting married and moved to America. They went to California first, living in Los Angeles. While in California, Noah was born and Orland spent more time at the Children's Hospital to earn extra money. After a while of living in the city, they decided that they would move to St. Stephens and he began working at the local hospital. Orland became the town's doctor and well like by the citizens. He's the strict parent, who wants Noah to be successful.

Luiza Moreton Castillo, 44 – Mother - Luiza was born in Spain and grew up to become a nurse and join The Red Cross. She was twenty-six when she met Orland during her trip to the Philippines and fell in love. They dated for four years until Orland asked the question to her. Since she knew English, she was able to help her husband out with the Citizenship Test. After passing it, they moved to Los Angeles and started to work at the Children's Hospital. She gave birth to her son and first child, Noah. Orland spent more time at the hospital while she stayed home and took care of the child. Years passed by and they were tired of the city lifestyle and felt that it wasn't safe for their son. That was when that they moved to St. Stephens and she kept watching Noah. She's the cool mom, who would get her son anything and often allow him to do things despite her Orland's disapproval. And she started to work with her husband at the local hospital.

Elizabeth Newman Hart, 32 – Family Friend - Elizabeth was born and raised in St. Stephens. She was the A+ student in her high school and went to a local college around the time that The Castillo Family moved next door to her new home. She was the first one to welcome the family to the town by giving them a tour around town. After finishing college and earning her degree, she had nothing to do other than her job at the drive thru. That was when she was asked if she would take care of Noah, while they went out once in awhile. She was happy to watch Noah during the nights out. After years of working at the drive thru, she became manager of the place and took more care of Noah. When her mother went back to work, she still keeps an eye on him even know Noah's fourteen.

❱❱❱❱ RELATIONS

❱❱❱❱ TALENTS

Noah is one of the smartest students in his school, because of his father's strict guidelines on school. And since his father and mother were in a school band, Noah decided to join one in the third grade and has learned how to play guitar, piano, ukulele, violin, saxophone, and the banjo (he learned that instrument to make friends with people from the southern states). He's also in the school's debate club and it has improved his critical thinking skills and made him into an effective speaker.

Since his father has medical skills, he was taught the basic skills that can save someone's life (like CPR for example). And his mother taught the most important skill to have: cooking. Before she went back to work, she taught her son anything about cooking from measuring to timing. And he loves to draw with his mother.
