Nickname| AJ (But prefers Aiden over nicknames)

About

Appearance| 
In the looks department, Aiden is an average guy through and through. He wears simple t-shirts and jeans whenever he can, makes no attempts to tame his wavy hair, and shaves his face daily as part of his morning routine. When he is teaching, he puts a little bit of effort by wearing a long-sleeved button-up and slacks. He has no scars or tattoo, but he has a birthmark in the shape of a S-shaped blob on his lower back. 

He stands at the white male average height of 5"10 and has a lanky build, which often makes him seem like the younger brother rather than the older one. He only works out when his friends prod him to go with them, so he isn't in the best shape. He is also rather pale because of his tendency of staying indoors.

Interests|
- Books
- Horror Movie Marathons
- Teas
- Cooking

Fears|
- The idea of having an unfulfilling life
- Spiders
- Never finding love again

Sexuality| Heterosexual

Personality| 
Aiden is an admirer of the English language and somewhat of a romantic because of it. He understands the power of words and how they can have a large effect on people depending on what was said. Therefore, he is very careful with his words unless he is feeling nervous, which seems to throw his mental dictionary out the door. At the same time, he is rather sensitive to what people say about him and feels insecure easily when ill things are said of him. 

If asked, Aiden will say that he generally likes people. He likes to have faith in humanity and their capability of doing good. So he tries to keep an open mind about others and learn their side of the story before passing any judgement. But he is still human, so he is still prone to wrong judgement and it is hard for him to change it once he makes it.

History

Biography|
Being the son of a teacher, Aiden grew up to become an advocate of education. He always took his studies seriously and was an A/B student, his weakest subject being science. His father was strict and originally wanted Aiden to work at the sites with him, but gave up once he saw that his son wasn't cut out for physical labor. On the other hand, his mother is delighted that Aiden will be following her footstep and by becoming a teacher. 

During his time in university, he fell in love with a girl and they began dating. After their graduation, they found an apartment together and he began working as a librarian in between the times he wasn't substitute teaching. His life wasn't quite where he wanted it, but it was a start. 

After four years of dating, she broke up with him and moved out of their apartment. Soon, he decided to move as well. Everything there reminded him of her and he needed a change of pace. Fortunately, he found an ad for a room at Suncrest Heights and decided to apply for it.
 He wanted to move as soon as possible.

A Memory| 
The beginning of his failed relationship:

A gorgeous girl with long, sandy blonde hair and sunkissed skin walked into the classroom and it was a miracle that she had decided to take the seat next to him. She flashed him a sweet smile and he already felt himself melting. His palms were sweating as he attempted to smile back at her, which was apparently more funny than charming as she made a strange face before laughing. Her laugh sent shivers down his spine. 

Thoroughly embarrassed, he focused his attention at the professor lecturing about Ernest Hemingway. He refused to let himself look at her,
 even though he could feel her gaze on him. When the excruciating long hour of class was over, he stayed in his seat a little longer to ensure he did not have to interact with the girl once more. When he thought it was safe, he picked up his stuff and got out of his seat.
 A folded piece of paper fell from the top of his binder. He could guess what it was, but he didn't believe it. He slowly opened it up. 

"(XXX) XXX-XXXX - Val"

He tucked the paper in his pocket, and hummed a little as he left the classroom to meet his friends.

Struggles| 
Aiden has just gotten dumped by his girlfriend of four years and isn't handling it well at all. If he is not at work, he is often listening to sad break up music in his room and groaning. Also, it turns out she left him for one of his mates so he has been disassociating himself from his normal group of friends.

Family| 
- Father: James Langford, a construction worker of a few words. He loves his family but doesn't show it very often which lead to tension between him and Aiden. They're working on it. 
- Mother: Ashley Langford, a fourth grade teacher who loves to dote on her students and her sons. Aiden is admittedly a mama's boy and keeps in touch with her regularly. 
- Brother: Jake Langford, his younger brother who is currently playing basketball on a collegiate level and Aiden is very proud of him. Jake had always been the more athletic of the brothers which used to lead to conflicts when they were younger but now they are supportive of each other.

Age| 25

Birthday| Dec 15

About

Appearance| 
Eliza maintains a slim and fit build with a rigorous routine. Balanced dieting and running 3 miles every morning never hurt nobody, is what she always says.  She is borderline obsessed with keeping up appearances. Running a successful fitness & fashion blog means she always must look her best even when sweatpants and ice cream are calling her name. You’ll never catch her in public bumming out since even her workout outfits are all top brand. 
	She is half Vietnamese half French. 5'8 weighing in at 130 lbs. She keeps her dark brown hair wavy and long. Defined cheekbones and eyebrows, Eliza is a case of hard worked natural beauty.

Interests|
-Exercising
-Blogging 
-Tea 
-Jazz 
-Helping others
-Morning Runs 
-Fashion Trends 
-Bath bombs

Fears|
-Going back to old habits 
-Insects  
-Bullying
-Her past self 
-Confrontation 
-Embarrassment

Sexuality| Bi- Curious 
Personality|
At times, she may seem conceited but it’s mainly because she cares a great deal about how she looks to other people. She is usually friendly and outgoing while maintaining a formal tone to those who aren’t as close to her. She enjoys helping others and because of her nature as a self-claim "guru" doesn't mind helping people out when it comes to fashion or fitness. Eliza is also passive when it comes to tension and would rather go on a run than confront a fight about dirty dishes. She's never been in a romantic relationship with a guy or a girl (an area of her life that she's trying to figure out) and is oblivious when someone is trying to hit on her. Because she's self- conscious, Eliza puts herself down but tries hard not to let others know that she is

History

Biography| 
Eliza Nguyen grew up in a small town where everyone knew each other. Born to a Vietnamese father and French mother she was raised under the pressure of academic excellence along with a younger sister. It was because of this she developed bad eating and sleeping habits that took a heavy toll on her body. Stress eating was the only way she could cope with trying to be a perfect child. Unfortunately, her peers didn’t take too kindly with her appearance as she didn’t fit society’s impossible standard of “beauty”. The outcome of this was severe bullying throughout middle and high school. Even her younger sister joined in the taunting. Eliza became severely self-conscious and fell into depression. 
It wasn’t until she got away from the hellish town and went to college did she aspire to quit her habits and improve her health and body. She became so self-absorbed with becoming fit that she cut out her past life completely. After graduating college with an exercise science degree, she disconnected herself from the small town and her family. 
Eventually she opened a blog titled “Strength and Love” that focused on the fitness and fashion aspect of her life garnering a reasonably large number of following. After a while, she moves to Suncrest to accept a personal trainer job with a top-level gym. Doing everything in her power to leave what she considered a shameful past behind and try to leave a more positive impact on herself and others around her.

A Memory| 
Towards the end of senior year Eliza opens her locker to find it trashed with spoiled food and slurs written all over. Pictures of the incident collected on social media and the few friends she had were too embarrassed to associate with her. Later finding out that her younger sister who was a Sophomore at the time, helped orchestrate the cruel prank. It ended up being a trigger in Eliza’s life to leave everything behind and start anew.

Struggles| 
Eliza is still too self-conscious about herself and runs away from her past even if it means losing her family. She has not yet figured out what she truly wants to do with her life; career or romantically. She was too busy transforming herself to even consider dating. But at the moment she is struggling whether or not the possibility of being bisexual. In terms of experiencing bullying, she tries hard to never come in contact with those who have bullied her in highschool. She hasn't spoken a word to her younger sister ever since she left the hell hole.

Family| 
Father: Thanh Nguyen; hardworking man who immigrated from Vietnam to America to pursue a better life and works hard owning a restaurant to ensure the success of his two daughters. He and his wife continually tries to contact Eliza to check up on her to no avail.   
Mother: Elle Nguyen (nee Durand) co-owns a French-Viet restaurant in a small town. Cares for her daughters but is also strict and not easy to please.  
Siblings: Sister Alice Nguyen; 2 years younger than Eliza they haven’t spoken since Eliza left home. Was mean and critical towards Eliza throughout their childhood because of her appearance calling her the “Ugly Duckling” of the family.

Sexuality| Homosexual

Personality| 
Rupert is a boy of many words, he can literally talk for hours on end and has a very good sense of working people into and out of things which is a very helpful skill in his choice of a career. This makes him a bit unbearable for some people, especially those who are fond of the quiet and silence. The boy has become a bit of a compulsive liar. He is the kind of person who would be the first to greet you in a room full of people, the one who would attend to you the moment you enter his proximity; the fact that he talks a lot doesn't mean he forgets to listen though and he does his best to stay observant, sometimes even calculating. Because of his upbringing and being a neglected middle child, Rupert has always thrived and strive for attention. There's this impulse for him to always say what he thinks, even if it's unwarranted. He's a street-smart type of a person, who always feels like he comes up short with the academic intellect and feels very conscious about it.    
 	His need to always be in control of a situation sometimes turns him intimidating and bossy, he's not really that aware of it, his friends are too scared to call him out but he does catch himself sometimes... but barely cares. He hates being on the losing side and has trouble coming to terms with defeat. His being gabby is a sort of defense mechanism, if he doesn't let out words from his mouth, he tends to implode and be antsy. He's easily consumed by his head when left alone, this is why he loves noise and crowds because he can just easily lose himself in the chaos of it all. Although when he does have no choice then he just writes his thoughts down on paper, thus, the odd stories on his notebook; this is to let his thoughts flow somewhere else than let them implode. Pertie is your typical neglected middle child with a rebellious streak striving to be an... almost decent person, or whatever passes as a friend you can call in times of need, for a little exchange sometimes.

History

Biography|
Rupert's childhood was a bit difficult, having always been stuck in the sidelines because of the middle-child syndrome, he never really felt adequate about his self because his older sister's achievements always overpowered his. It was bearable and simple at first, his parents are naturally fond of kids but being busy doctors with people to save and details to attend, attention has always been lacking. Things just got harder as he grew up and upon realization, he knew he had to fight for the attention and that mediocrity was not a trait his family approves of. There's something fiercely sad about feeling under appreciated by your parents, when that's all you've ever asked for. Pertie was never book-smart and although he never failed classes and sure, he's had some remarkable A's, in the Puckett household that's sub-par and straight A's are just standard. His relationship with his siblings or the lack thereof is something he has been trying to remedy recently and is turning out to be a struggle, because apparently 15 years of being distant is not something you can just fix right away, who'd've thunk?!
 	With over-achieving siblings, a younger brother currently taking up medicine and a lawyer as a sister, Pertie's leaning towards the liberal arts is a sort of way to get his parent's attention. Having come to terms with the fact that he can't outsmart his siblings academic-wise, and having skills beyond the books and the grits, he's realized that he can beat them in other areas. It has worked somehow, his parents actually remembered his birthday for 3 years straight... although he wasn't sure if that's because they've been on facebook, so it's still a work in progress.
	Rupert's love for pop culture and the arts has always been a sort of safe haven and it is the one thing that made life more bearable so he decided that maybe through that very thing he knows best, he can finally show his parents his worth. He started building a portfolio and a youtube vlog documenting his thoughts and opinions with various multimedia quirks thrown in. Later on and with conviction, he entered Washington Uni taking Journalism as his major, planning to build up on what he has began. He was determined to do exceedingly well, It's never just a task for Rupert, it's always a competition.
	For the first year of uni, Rupert has been staying at the Puckett house and it was convenient at first but then deadlines became a maddening thing and transportation was a bit of hassle so he had to live somewhere closer. For the next two years after that, his then best friend-love-of-his-life and his own little ass rented a little flat they found on craigslist in the little town of Suncrest. After a year into Uni, he found himself volunteering for the graveyard shift at the community radio and that was when "boy RIP" was born, breaking in the nightly gossip with a little helping of actual news at 10 in the pm. Who would have thought that a year into university would make him realize that he's just not the best at a lot of things? Singing? Acting? Writing? Performing? BEING ALIVE? He was feeling sub-par and for a while, that felt like hell but then he gradually started coming to terms with it. Things were going well, which was a new normal for the somehow-achiever and the community radio has been getting some recognition, both good and controversial sometimes bad, his days at the Uni is almost through but there's still a little dillemma about what specific career path to take. Money was never a problem because he has rich parents who gives him finances as long as he stays out of their hair and out of trouble, but then things went sour after sometime in the flat so now his roommate turned ex boyfriend slash heartbreak #1 kicked him out after a little altercation. Rupert's psyche is a bit of a mess at this point and he needs to figure his shit out and fast, he can't be graduating with loose ends and a cluttered head.
	He spotted a little ad about some open slots at this "Suncrest Heights" -a place for living and getting his grip on life back, maybe. And so, the lost boy starts anew.

A Memory| 
There was this haunting presence that was presented to him when he was 15, it was an evening alone at the Puckett house. The windows displayed an almost alienating presence of snow that engulfed the entirety of town and it felt like he was completely alone. He was always used to having someone around, even just that slight presence in the air; like the house help or a visiting cousin, or just his siblings. But that night, he came home late from class and everyone else has left to get dinner and got stuck in the snowstorm. Something struck Rupert inside from this deafening silence that sits in the air and before he knew it, the noise in his head started to override the presence of the silence, it was one thought after another, discomfort that left a bitter taste in the mouth. Maybe it was the overwhelming influx of thoughts, maybe it was the feeling of drowning in that space of being alone and that suffocating silence but it was almost like the world was dissipating and he was shrinking into himself, no, like the world was shrinking into him and he's about to get crushed, and the cold was about to freeze his heart off and that static came in, ringing louder and louder and he could feel his pulse, like blood was about to burst out from his fingertips. 
 	It was his first time experiencing a sensory overload and he couldn't do anything. Before he knew it he was running for the front door, fighting the shut down, hitting his shin on the edge of a table, cutting a wound open then 'click'. They were home, he stood there motionless for a moment then fell on his knees, it was only then that he noticed the wet dripping down his cheeks. That was the one moment since he came home bruised and black-eyed from a fight in 2nd grade that he saw the concern in their eyes. "Pertie!" both his siblings cried, his father picked him up, her mother ran for the med kit, his eyes closed but a fulfilling warmth followed, his last thought -"This is what it takes?" followed by a pang in his heart.

Struggles|
The thing about not keeping at least a few good friends around is not having a few good friends around when you've been knocked down and over by life and needing some sort of emotional support, the one bestfriend you've been keeping is now just another stranger who also sort of hates you because you both messed up and your not exactly in talking terms with your siblings or your parents or anyone in general. But hey, there are always strangers to make sort of friends out of... if they figure you're not as terrible as what your blabbermouth makes you out to be. And also, there's always uni and schoolwork and your graveyard shift to drown yourself in but oh my god, you're actually feeling very delicate and on edge so big whoop. But you know what, You always figure things out, it's just another thing that happens, it's whatever, grin face, side eye, wink face.

Family| 
Father: Otto Puckett, A Pediatrician, works very hard. Loves kids, can not tolerate teenagers. Would do anything for his wife. The most concerned about Rupert in the family, does try to reach out to him every so often but to no avail.
Mother: Zygmunty Puckett, A surgeon, the busiest in the family. Iron Lady, very strict with her kids but does enjoy their company every so often. Loves his husband very much. Has a hard time understanding Rupert, is very upset about him and is also a bit against his homosexuality. 
Siblings: Sister: Hannah Ilyse Puckett, an over-achieving lawyer. Can be very cold and calculating, cares about her family very much. Haven't been in a romantic relationship ever. Is probably the closest Rupert has to a friend at the moment but she is too busy to attend to him. The most emotionally open in the family.
Brother: Hansel Aleph Puckett, 2 years younger than Rupert, is studying to become a Psychiatrist. Looks up to his older siblings and respects his parents the most. Values honesty and loves listening to Rupert ramble, but does have trouble reciprocating attention to him. Knows the most about Rupert even though they're not necessarily friends, they tolerate each other if anything. Rupert thinks he's a bit too stuck up and dogmatic.

About

Appearance|
Barbara is petite, standing at around Five foot three and weighing anywhere from one hundred twenty to one hundred twenty five pounds. She doesn't work out too often, but does a lot of walking and heavy lifting at work. She also does some dancing on the weekends which helps burn off the calories of the fast food she mostly eats. Babs has sandy brown hair and light blue eyes, she hates her nose but wouldn't go as far as having plastic surgery to "fix" it. Her clothing style is very much comfort over fashion. She will be mostly seen around with plain sweaters, shirts, jeans, leggings, and sometimes on a special occasion a dress or two. She loves her Timberlands- being originally from New York she has several pair and considers them a staple in any outfit. Barbara doesn't have any predominant scars or markings across her fair skinned body. She has a single pierced lobe on each side of her head and no tattoos as of yet. She plans to get one when she can save up the money for it after finishing school this summer.

Interests|
Eye for the details: Barbara loves photography as well as traditional art, she is currently majoring in Photography at the community college. She loves to draw and paint and thinks that everyone should have at least some type of creative outlet in their life.

My girl likes to part all the time: Young, dumb, and full of cu- communication! Barbara is a social butterfly. She is outgoing and makes friends pretty easily wherever she goes. She loves to go party and drink whenever she doesn't have a late night shift. 

City living: Originally from Brooklyn, New York- Barbara has a love and yearning for the city life. She loves to be on the move and in the midst of whatever is going on. If she isn't invited to go somewhere and finds out about it, she will be disappointed and upset about it for months on end. She won't let you live it down, and will remind you of this any time she has a chance.

Fears|
Creepy Crawlies: Like most people, Barbara has a fear of bugs, rodents, and some reptiles. She doesn't mind looking at them from afar but after seeing a few cockroach too many- the girl decided enough is enough and wants nothing to do with any of them. She is adamant about killing them on sight and has no remorse.

You shall not pass: Failure is a big fear and constant worry of Barbara. Though her personality would dictate that she is having a good time and her smile would say she is happy she is a constant battle within herself that she isn't doing what she needs to be doing. She decided to do major in photography because of it being her passion but she knows her mother wouldn't be the proudest of her decisions.

Personality|
Easily Manipulated. Friendly. Outgoing. Caring. Stubborn. 

Babs is someone that would see you eating lunch by yourself and not hesitate to walk over and keep you company. She is usually the first one to greet you and the last to tell you goodbye. Granted, she might sit down and end up eating half of your meal while she talks to you but she means well, she cares. Barbara is not dumb, but can often appear air-headed and aloof based on her social activities and her tendency to go off on a tangent of something that she is passionate about. She wants the best for everyone and herself. However, once a seed is planted in her head or heart to put you as a bad guy, it will take a lot of energy and convincing for her to think otherwise.

History

Biography|
Barbara Jane Mills was conceived in Las Vegas, Nevada. Her parents had both been on their honeymoon with their respected spouses and ended up banging each other's brains out behind Caesar's Palace, or was it a Little Caesar's pizza? Either way, the two lovebirds had put their last relationships in the past and began the whirlwind that was Brian and Diane. A couple years had gone by but as soon as the big P word slipped from doctor's mouth, Bab's father had said he had other places to be- and thanks for the good time, it was fun. He even left a "Get well soon" card on the dresser, with about nine dollars in singles.

Diane now was dumbfounded, pregnant, and all alone. She went online and met Franklin Moore(Frank), an older gentleman who was in need of a wife and had a bit of cash to spend. Work was all that Frank knew, work and the bottom of the liquor bottle. The bottles that came each and every paycheck. Despite his addiction, he climbed the ladder and got lucky with a few well known law cases. So Diane decided to leave sin city and try to find a better life with rich man Frank in Brooklyn, New York. She didn't find any greener grass, but when Barbara was born she did find out what happiness was again. The two lived in Frank's apartment, growing up together and experiencing what life had to offer without the absence of material goods.

Growing up was smooth sailing for Babs. She was well rounded, liked by most people and an average student. She eventually left home in Brooklyn and came to Washington DC, to go to college and start off her own life. She has been in and out of apartment buildings for awhile until she finally settled in Suncrest and has been working and commuting back and forth to school for the last year and a half.

A Memory|
"You talking about pizza like, you don't think I know about pizza?"

The Brooklyn raised girl retorted to her coworker as they sat together at lunch that afternoon. A look of disbelief on her face, but in a playful way. "I was raised in Brooklyn, I know about pizza. It's in the freaking water." she commented, as her coworker laughed. "Barbara you're ridiculous." she said as the two giggled. Babs continued to fold in half and eat her slice of pepperoni pizza that she had got from one of the heaters in the convenience store. It was not a very good slice but it would suffice until she could eat later. She thought about what she was going to make for dinner that night for her friends and her. It was coming up on their first anniversary of all meeting one another; which was exciting for her. For them.

She reached to her phone that sat on the table, sending a group text to them while she thought about it.

<Snipped quote>

Sending she looked up to her co-worker. The two exchanged friendly smiles, continuing their lunch as normal without many more words spoken between them. After finishing her pizza, she wiped her hands with an napkin and tossed the paper plate they had given her in the trash. Crumbling the greasy used napkin along with it. She went back to the table and grabbed her cellphone and walked back to her cash register where she would start again on her so called job. After a few hours of this she clocked out and went home.

Struggles|
Brian Mills: Brian Mills is Barbara's estranged father that left her mother when she was pregnant. Barbara doesn't let this effect her day to day life but she has always been interested in the man that he was, and who he became, and why he left in the first place. She would be very interested in finding and speaking to him one day. It would help her fill in the gaps of missing parts of herself.

Pill Popping: With the partying came the drinking, and with the drinking came the drugs. Barbara is known to go a little overboard sometime when it comes to these things and has a couple occasions where she wasn't sure if she was going to wake up the next day. She doesn't let her friends know about her problem, but wouldn't be surprised if they had an inclination of what was happening when she'd lock herself in her apartment for a few days after a night out on the town.

Family|
Father: Brian Mills: Unknown.
Step Father: Franklin Moore: Lawyer.
Mother: Diane Moore: Housewife.
Siblings: None that she is aware of.

Heterosexual| (self explanatory)
Personality|
Funny outgoing and very caring these are the ingredients chosen to create the worlds greatest wingman. Thats bryan in a nutshell there is nothing he wouldn't do for his friends. And always quick with the joke to lighten the mood he believes that if you can make people laugh then you can make the situation brighter. Bryan, while he cant deal with heavy emotional situations will suck it up in a one on one convo its hard for him to drop his guard but he will if it means helping a friend.

History

Biography|
Bryan grew up in a damn good household his mother was a lawyer his father a Doctor and his older sister was was an aspiring model.
Needless to say the good looking genes didnt skip him but he knew he needed something more than good looks he just hadn't discovered what gift was given to him from the proverbial gene pool. His father wasn't distant so much as always busy but made sure to spend time with him when the time allowed. His mothers story was just the same she was always busy and stayed on him about school and made sure to be in his ACADEMIC life as much as she could. So it was pointless to say that he was SUPER close to his parents it was more of an in passing type of relationship. His sister on the other hand had basically raised him and gave him all the MORAL support he needed to succeed and helped to pull him out of his shell that he had started to develop due to not really having anyone. Bryan couldnt help thinking that he was burden on her cause instead of spending time with him she could be doing things for herself but, She had saved Bryan and he had come to depend on her until she showed him how to dress and talk to girls and when he made out for the 1st time all bets were off. That was effectively how he started his high school experience.
High school was a blur to be honest it was a whirlwind of making the grades that had let him shine through and blaze through year after year. Although he was beyond smart unlike most of the smart kids he wasnt bullied that could have been due in part to his naturally muscular physique. Truth be told though Bryan was a comedian but unless you sat down and got to know him you could never tell. he always had most people he met smiling or laughing for some reason or another and could always lighten the mood with a quick quip or random comment.
College Life For Bryan was where he really had begun to blossom This was the place in which he truly found himself from his style to his voice to his form of expression he took everything he had learned and saw from his past experinces and mashed them together and in the hot fires of college did Bry emerge he no longer required help with women he knew better how to balance social and school life. His style of dress went from the basics of what his sister showed him to casual suits and dress suits and ties to just becoming an all around smooth talker that knew how to shop his ass off.

A Memory|
When Bryan was 9 the family took a trip to Universal studios and had got seperated from his family his sister most of all and when he couldnt find her he had begun to panic unsure of what was happening to him, person after person had asked him what was wrong but it only made the situation worse. the whole time this was happening he could only think that he was being abandoned for being too needy. this was the stage of his first Anxiety attack.

Struggles|
Dealing with Anxiety over the years he had learned to mask it with hilarity but to the well trained eye they could see through his facade.

About

Appearance|

Vern has what some might consider a...slovenly sort of appearance about her. Sure there's a somewhat attractive person to be found, but one has to get past the bags under her eyes, the slightly pear-shaped physique that gives a...somewhat healthy amount of chub (which she promised she'd work on...eventually) and the various stains that mar her outfits on a regular basis. Vern is not exactly a walking hot mess, but it's hard to imagine there's a more lazy looking person in all of Verona. Lazy is a fair way to describe how Vern carries herself, especially given her hobby of wearing mismatched clothing out of a habit of merely throwing on whatever smells and looks clean at any given moment. It's fortunate that she is somewhat tall, at least taller than the average, standing at 5'10" which has afforded her some natural physical attributes that are enhanced by her physique: namely that she parades around in shorts semi-consistently.  There's another motive for doing so, of course, in that the back of her right calf is blessed with a little tattoo of a bee with a dumb, goofy grin and googly-eyes. It was her first one, the first 'character' she ever drew. Its name was Busy Bee. 

Her hair is of a medium length and chestnut brown in color. She doesn't style it any particular way, making it look more unkempt and forever topped with bedhead than anything else. Her eyes are dark blue in color and possess a dissatisfaction of life that only comes with experience and a lack of sleep. Typically, Vern doesn't wear makeup other than the instances when she has a date or a meeting of some sort. If ever someone uttered the phrase 'starving artist' no one would look to Vern for proof of that.

Interests|
-Fast Food. There's really no greater saving grace than a decently cheap, decently terrible for you burger seeped in grease and ketchup. Sometimes with double patties. Often with double patties. 

-Sketching. It almost goes without saying given her occupation but Vern rather enjoys sketching things she sees. This tends to be things limited to her room and what she sees from the window but it's a nice break all the same. 

-Punk and Rap Music. There was a time when Vern was constantly getting in trouble for playing her music at very unreasonable volumes at very unreasonable hours of the day and night. When asked why she didn't use headphones to listen to the music her response was a simple "I was using them." She was probably lying. Point being she likes loud, angry sorts of music. 

-Coffee and/or soda. Anything with a lot of caffeine. She tends to favor soda because it comes with the benefit of being bad for the health and it's cheaper to buy a few twenty four packs of Pepsi than it is to buy multiple cups of coffee over the course of a week.
 
-Reality Television. Vern still remembers the day when Jersey Shore ended because she was sad about it for a good month. She loves her trashy fake reality shows because she can watch them and not feel so bad about her own lot in life. Because if these pretty and rich people are fucking up, maybe it's okay that Vern hasn't done her laundry in three weeks.

Fears|
Breaking bones. It's a simple fear and has more to do with the pain aspect but Vern cringes at the sheer thought of spraining an ankle much less breaking something in a more serious fashion. That she believes her body to be a bit doughy and thus in possession of weak bones certainly doesn't help.

Blood. In line with her broken bone phobia, Vern hates blood be it her own or fake blood in movies. She doesn't even like drawing blood in her art (but will do it if she's getting paid, like any good money fan). It doesn't make her light headed but she does tend to avert her gaze all the same. 

Losing Her Job. It's more along the lines of being forced to move back in with family since she's been independent, for better or worse,
 for a good six years or so now and going back home is the same as admitting that her relatives were right all along. Thankfully there're people who like her artwork enough to ask for commissions as well as purchase the book she draws for on a weekly basis. For now.

Sexuality|

Homosexual

Personality|
Vern isn't abrasive, but that doesn't make it any easier for her to get along with people - not for lack of trying but rather...lack of grace. The day that adults gave lessons on social etiquette was a day Vern missed. It's not unheard of for Vern to belch loudly in public and then laugh about it like a child. She even chews with her mouth open. Manners escape her, and yet that's often the worst thing people can say about Vern, that she lacks anything resembling grace or, well, femininity. At her worse, Vern comes off as gross but harmless more than anything else; there are probably those who find her lack of care refreshing. Doubtful, but then the world is a rather mysterious place. 

There's nothing about Vern that plays as shy. She's practically an open book for better or worse. She knows enough not to blab secrets and the like but with a somewhat loud mouth and lack of a filter, she isn't someone to go telling life changing secrets to. She knows not to blab but sometimes it just slips out, y'know? Lacking in what some call 'book smarts' thanks to her completely below average academic record through high school, Vern makes up for it by understanding people on a personal level. She fancies herself something of an armchair psychiatrist at time - understanding people and their motivations has helped her comic last on the strength of its characters. 

Still, perhaps because of her rather off putting antics, Vern is a lonely woman all the same. She craves camaraderie even as those she thinks like her constantly find excuses to not hang out with her. It's not a matter of 'growing up' despite her somewhat childish antics and behavior patterns, it's that she doesn't know how to truly talk to people and make connections. Not for lack of trying, either. 

Though quick to make a quip and never missing a chance to indulge in some self deprecation, it's seemingly not enough for people to latch onto. She might be a somewhat successful artist, but Verona's residents are in no hurry to hoist Vern up on their shoulders and exclaim their joy. Some might say she tries too hard. Vern disagrees. She doesn't try at all. All of who she is as a person is up front, it's up to others to take it or leave it; she's not about to make drastic changes even if it means a life of wanting.

History

Biography|
For as long as Laverne could remember, she was doodling. It started when she was a little girl, drawing little pictures so her mother could hang them on the fridge; of course, she never did - hang pictures on the fridge - since Vanessa Bryant was more concerned with finishing another bottle of wine than in praising the artistic work of her daughter. It wasn't a broken home, just an unfortunate one. Vanessa Bryant was addicted to wine and lotto tickets while Edward Bryant was having numerous affairs with his students - his position as a professor of literature at the local college did have its perks. His lecherous actions certainly explained the wine.

Laverne found refuge in art, needing an outlet to channel her creativity and lack of supervision and substantial affection shown to her in her formative years. After her mother passed away from alcohol poisoning, Vern was sent to live with her grandmother who had retired; there was no way Edward was going to raise a daughter on his own, what with his sexual escapades turning into a bit of a scandal on the news and all. Vern's grandmother, Laverne (hence the name) was a bit more accepting of her, in that she actually put a drawing on the wall. Granted, it was a drawing that was featured in the local newspaper, but it was the thought that counted above all. 

Vern skated her way through high school, graduating just barely and not going onto college. She doubled down on her art, believing she could break into animation or some other art related industry. College was a waste of time, which she had, and money, which she did not. After graduating high school, Vern worked part time jobs while she built up a portfolio. After her grandmother passed away, Vern self-published a small little graphic novel that was a fictionalized version of her grandmother's life, which was highly embellished but they were based on stories told to her all the same. 

That graphic novel was enough to get a meeting with a publishing house who offered her a contract to write a comic for their indie division; though the company was known for its tales of heroes and heronies, Vern offered only a weekly comic about disaffected youths with a sharp art style. Her comic, 'Swingles' was a sarcastic look at modern dating through the eyes of an eternally single twenty-something. Observational humor mixed with relate-able characters made Swingles a bit of a hit among people that still read non-hero comics. Didn't exactly help Vern's personal and social life, but at least she was able to quit her burger flipping job before it became her career. 

Vern has lived in various apartments since the death of her grandmother and she doubts she'll ever own a home. Apartments are fine and Suncrest is agreeable enough. It has pretty much everything she needs, other than human contact, and it is the perfect place to find inspiration to use in her art and cartooning. She dreams of being an animator but is, at the moment, content enough with her relative obscurity.

A Memory|
Thank God for editors. That was a joke, of course. No one in the industry, in any industry, was ever thankful for editors. Least of all editors that did not know or respect the simple courtesy of not ringing the phone every half hour. Some people might've been glad to have someone so concerned with their well-being but it only took one phone call for Vern to realize that the phone calls weren't to offer sweet words of recovery. The first call happened when Vern had just opened up the flood gates and let loose a deluge of blood that she hadn't seen since the first time she saw Carrie. At first Vern had assumed she would need to invest in some extra strength pads before she realized it came from her nose. In her defense, there was so much of it that it could've come from anywhere. It utterly ruined her favorite shirt. Probably for the best, all told, it could do with a wash. 

The voice on the other end, as Vern was having the mother of all nosebleeds, her editor was screaming about the pages. She was behind. Normally she submitted her stuff weeks in advance, as was protocol, but Vern was nothing if not lazy and presently massively hung over. Or sick. Or both. Definitely both. With her nose gushing like a tsunami of blood she was in no position to draw or hilariously comment on the singles dating scene. She let her editor, the man could yell with the best of them, tire himself out before she promptly hung up to clean herself up. 

Every time she was blessed with the ability to sleep the damn phone would ring - and not her mobile which was turned off lest she risk the urge to check her various dating profiles (seriously, how did so many people swipe left, was she that undesirable?) - this was the landline and the last time she unplugged the land line her landlady had a piss fit. 

There was little to do other than listen to the angry messages of her editor as he swore up and down about how unprofessional Vern was being. She didn't ask for blood to pour and Aspirin to be as effective as natural cures. At least now she was recovered and could focus on her art work again. The first thing she did upon feeling better was turn on the television; it helped her relax and focus. Or so she told people that asked. In truth it just meant she spent more time watching soaps and daytime talk than actually drawing, inking, writing, and coloring. Vern flipped channels...it was Sunday..Sunday programming was largely sports related...which meant it was a cartoon sort of day.

Anything to not worry about work for just a little bit longer...

Struggles|
Vern struggles with her own inner feelings of inferiority and doubt stemming from her somewhat...unhygienic way of living. Her ineptitude with making true social connections plays into her fear that as she gets older she'll become less and less likely to ever make a human connection. Or a romantic one. She's wondering what will happen first: her comic getting made into a movie or her finding either a best friend or significant other. 

Neither seem likely in her life time.

Family|
Father: Edward Bryant. Former college professor forced to retire after scandals involving improper student/teacher relationships.

A Memory| 
The arrest:
"You have the right to remain silent anything you..." The voice of the Police officer faded gradually, replaced by pure silence as Dom watched his baby sister run to her boyfriend. In the span a half an hour Dominic had gone from having a beer with his abuelo after a long day of work to standing over the man who had beat his sister. Slowly sound returned as his abuela began to beg the police officer. " Please don't take my boy dios no please no mi nieto!?" She cried clutching the door frame, tears streamed down her face. Dominic's grandfather stood next to her with his arm around her. "Dom don't worry I will get you the best lawyer I can afford." Dominic's grandfather said with a hint of respect in his voice. Slowly the officers pulled Dominic from his living room out into the warm summer night. Even as his Neighbors stood at their front doors and watched Dominic knew he was screwed, his sister would tell what her boyfriend did, but he still assaulted the guy. He may be charged and maybe convicted of something, but Dominic knew he had broken his nose and knocked out at least three teeth. That was assault maybe aggravated assault, Dominic watched his family and a dazed ex-boyfriend as he spoke with one one of the officers
