DIAMONDS IN THE ROUGH
-
Bradford Prep Academy,located in Rhinecliff,New York. An exclusive boarding school, some call it the ‘Alpha Academy’ because it’s filled with privileged and talented students that are born with competitive personalities . The Diamonds are the pride of Bradford, they rule the school, everyone feared them. They were known to disobey the rules but get away with it because of their manipulating natures. Everything was perfect, well it use to be. A member of their group Felicity Chamberlain committed suicide the year before. Or so they thought. One night Mrs.Chamberlain asked them to help clean out her room because she was too emotionally unstable. As they rummaged through her belongings ,they found a journal that she wrote in all her secrets and theirs. The most shocking discovery, Feclity was being stalked and she wrote in her journal the day that she died, stating that she was afraid of being murdered. The Diamonds now know that Felicity’s cause of death wasn’t suicide, but murder. They are now being stalked by the same person and it’s only a matter of time before every comes crashing down.

Secret{s}; Witnessed a murder, been involved with drugs,dealt drugs, pretends she’s this sex goddess but still a virgin. She and Felicity both took ecstasy that day when she got expelled but Marissa took all the blame because she knew Felicity’s mother was very abusive and only Marissa was expelled
Relationship with felicity; Marissa and Felicity met when they were six years old when they both started with Ballet, they started the 'Diamonds' group together and from that day on they were always the closest. They would fight at times but they always had each other's backs, they day they were caught with Ecstasy Marissa took all the blame even though Felicity was the one that got the drugs. When Marissa was expelled, she texted Felicity all the day and they kept in contact whilst Marissa was exploring South Africa, one day she got a weird text from Felicity stating that she kept seeing a figure in the dorm room [ Marissa and Felicity were also room mates before she got expelled] but Marissa told Felicity not to worry, it was probably just a dream. The following week she got a call from her friends informing her of Felicity's suicide and Marissa was heart broken.

Quick bio: Marissa Sinclair is the notorious resident bad girl and makes dramatic return after being unceremoniously kicked out at the end of her sophomore year for getting caught taking ecstasy.

No one knows about this and Marissa made sure to get out of the country before people got suspicious. Marissa’s back and more determined than ever to put her past behind her,focus on her ballet career and snatch the golden boy/one of the headmaster’s sons {which they’re not allowed to date but she loves a challenge} but will her past catch up to her?

THE FLIRT
PHOENIX GREY, 17
Portrayed by: Jennie Kim
Likes: Modeling, Sleeping around but don’t get her wrong she is completely safe about it it’s just so much fun, Sleepovers with Felicity, Rainy days
Dislikes: Annoying people, People who talk too much, Clingy one night stands
Talent[ Only one]:
Lying. Those who say lying isn't a talent obviously haven’t seen Phoenix in action. She’s incredibly manipulative. She can con almost anyone out of their own damn heart and she definitely has.Secret[s]:
She knows what Felicity was up to her last weeks alive, Felicity confided in Phoenix for help. Together they were trying to find out why someone was stalking her and what they wanted. Phoenix’s guess is that they got a little too close and it costs them Felicity’s life. Phoenix fears her own life is a stake. She’s almost positive the stalker knew they were working together.Relationship with Felicity:
Felicity and Phoenix had one thing in common boys. Even from the 2nd grade when they swore up and down that boys had cooties. That’s how the friendship of a lifetime started. They had the friendship everyone envied. There was nobody closer to Felicity than Phoenix. They did everything together. They were inseparable.Signature Scent:
No matter the season Phoenix loved the smell of cinnamon. You will always find a light cinnamon aroma wafting around her.Quick Bio:
Phoenix Grey isn’t just known around Bradford Prep as a Diamond, she’s also notoriously known for her shall we say player ways. Phoenix is very loud and proud of her sexuality. Everyone knows she’s pansexual and no one gives a fuck I mean come on it’s 2018 for christ sakes. She is definitely surrounded by a crowd of groupies everywhere she goes. The amount of people she has on a leash is almost laughable and kind of amazing.She does also however have a part time modeling career outside of school. Her mother though very supportive, probably a little too much, can very well pass as a pageant mom. Phoenix isn’t a huge model but she did go to Paris for a job once and you best believe it will be on her resume the rest of her life.
,
After Felicity’s death she didn't know who to turn to. Felicity was her partner in crime, her soul mate. She’s has never cried as much as she had when she found out in her whole life. When they found Felicity’s diary she wasn’t shocked. She was going to Nancy Drew the fuck out of this. If she couldn’t save her she can damn well catch the guy who did this.Top three descriptions: The Flirt, The Musician, The Fallen Star
The set and some updates to the audition will be up shortly!

Okay, like I said, I can't abandon my Skye. Although I did change a few things to help her fit more with the options (unless you add a fashion designer/costume designer-wannabe type character <3) And a set will follow once I get some sleep.
[THE FREE SPIRIT]
SCHUYLER "SKYE" AINSLEY CONRAD, 17
Portrayed by: Monica Ollander
Likes: Owls, color, designer handbags, secrets, social media, Paris, the French language, jewelry (especially statement rings), dahlias, sunrises, cupcakes, the beach, champagne, talking to people, lace, mysteries, manicures
Dislikes: bad literature, being stereotyped, homework, polyester, being manipulated, immaturity, insults, horror movies, rain, bad hair days, physics, math, pop quizzes, knowing her mother’s secret, spiders, threats, indiscretion, fashion victims, caked-on makeup
Talent[ Only one]: Promoting herself (How else has she ended up with the highest amount of Instagram followers in Rhinecliff and possibly the entire state?)
Secret[s]:
--- she’s secretly dating the English literature professor at Bradford.
--- she “may have had” a relationship with one of the headmistress’ sons in the past. (she did)
--- she’s aware of the fact her mother is having an affair with one of her students (hypocrisy at its best)Relationship with Felicity: Skye and Felicity got along about as well as possible, considering their differences. Skye has always been the type to talk to whoever she chose (and date whoever she chose), aside from a few exceptions of course, and occasionally that rubbed Felicity the wrong way. Skye always found her way back into her good graces, however, even though deep down she knew Felicity wasn’t necessarily a good person. She knew better than to have her as an enemy.
Signature Scent: Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb
Quick Bio: Out of the Diamonds, Skye is the unusual one. To the extent that there was a period where she had the tips of her hair dyed multi-colored, not to mention the multitude of colors her hair has been over the years in general, but for the most part she’s stuck with exploring her activity through fashion. She never goes too edgy with her outfits, either, always skirting the line between quirky and preppy. There had never been any doubt of her being a Diamond, either, considering she’s the daughter of the mayor of Rhinecliff and a college professor. She’d still had to work for her place, but she was close to being a legacy. She’s never forgotten that, either, nor what it was like the first few weeks at Bradford when she was the odd one out. Honestly, she’s still the odd one out, but she’s grown to enjoy it. Being the odd one out has given her all sorts of abilities that the bitchier members of the group don’t have, after all. Especially when it’s led to the interest of boys.
Although, that interest has caused her a few problems in the past. She’d gained the notice of one of the headmistress’ sons, and whether or not it was allowed, she wasn’t about to turn it down. The relationship lasted several months, nearly a year, before anyone (i.e. the headmistress) noticed, and once that happened, they were forced to break up. As it was, Skye was nearly expelled for the relationship, but her parents’ status in town saved her/also caused drama in the household. As did her choice to go to France for the summer with her mother and her younger brother, as it gave everyone involved a break from the disaster, supposedly. Although, disaster seemed to follow Skye, at least romantically, as while she’d been in Paris she met a guy at a coffee shop and when she returned to Rhinecliff she discovered he had been hired to teach literature at Bradford. True to form, though, it didn’t stop her from accepting his offer to go on a date, nor the relationship that naturally followed. In Skye’s eyes, her relationship with Isaac might have been against the rules, but the new one wasn’t. Even now that her life’s been thrown into chaos again by Felicity’s death and the Diamonds’ discovery afterward.

KEIRA SOMMERS, 17
Portrayed by: Grace ElizabethLikes: COFFEE!, the smell of coffee in the morning, coffee shops, the sound of rain, freckles, bath bombs, playing video games with her brother, horror movies, Stephen King books, true crime podcasts, graphic tees, comfortable shoes, hiking, cold showers, big dogs, frozen yogurt.
Dislikes: sport injuries, her mother’s persistent nagging and reminders to ‘act like a lady’, losing, slow walkers, people making comparisons between her and her brother (they are two completely different individuals despite being twins!), the fact that she religiously bites her nails, migraines.Talent[ Only one]: Does the fact that she has incredibly stamina count as a talent? All those years of training soccer and running around the field has made Keira an excellent (and incredibly fast runner).
Secret[s]: Continuously struggling with her sexuality. It’s not supposed to be a big deal, at least not in this modern time, but when your family is one of the most –traditional- ones and your mother still wakes you up at the crack of dawn every Sunday you can attend church (‘Like a real family’) it’s a bit of a controversial topic.
Relationship with Felicity: Is it too cliché too say that Keira had a crush on her? Maybe the reason why the crush developed in the first place has nothing to do with what she’s going through right now, but because Felicity was one of the few people that was actually nice to her in a long while and accepted her despite her bruised knees, broken nose and love for soccer. Felicity in one way or another taught Keira how to accept herself – that there is nothing wrong in being different and she loved her exactly the way she was.
Signature Scent: Coffee, freshly mowed grass and a heavy dose of antiperspirant (preferably mint).
Quick Bio:
- Born and raised in an incredibly controversial family that values tradition and has a history on pushing certain beliefs on people. The Sommers aren’t the most liked people in New York, but their large donations and the fact that Mr. Sommers is one of New York’s most successful businessmen is only one of the reasons why the elite are always throwing fake smiles and compliments in their presence.
- Her father’s career and busy schedule sort of made Keira and her twin brother Kurt to be raised by their mother (and the plethora of nannies that were immediately fired after Mr. Sommers asked them to talk in private in his office). For a family that seemingly values tradition, they are quite dysfunctional and messy, but you’ll never hear anyone complaining because in the public eye they are the most perfect family: with their yearly barbeques, family portraits and church attendance. This picture perfect family image is fueled by none other than Mrs. Sommers herself who is very much obsessed with what others think of her and practically lives to please and impress others.
- Mrs. Sommers need to be the best version of herself has very much been pressured onto her children. The fact that seventeen years ago she gave birth to twins is still one of her greatest achievement in life, but raising them into becoming the perfect mini me is coming close second. Especially when it comes to her daughter, Keira. Yes, Keira and her mother might eerily look alike, but personality wise they are nothing alike. And maybe that’s why Keira feels so miserable in the presence of her mother. The constant jabs, criticism and controlling behavior are only some of the things she had to grow up with. Her mother insisted that her daughter was acting like a girl and liked girly things and wore pink – so imagine her horror when instead of ballet Keira wanted to play soccer, just like her twin brother.
- One of her parents’ biggest fight occurred when Keira made it loud and clear that she had no interest in being a dancer, ‘You never attended ballet, why should I?’ it’s what she said to her mother and she might as well have slapped her in the face because that’s exactly how Mrs. Sommers felt in that moment. In the end, after what seemed like never ending fights, Mr. Sommers took Keira by the hand and signed her up for the girls soccer team. This particular gesture is something Mrs. Sommers uses to fuel her fights with her husband and when divorce is suddenly mentioned, Mrs. Sommers turns to her daughter and blames her selfishness for it.
- If the situation at home wasn’t hard enough already, school proved to be just as difficult. Having grown up with her brother and his friends, Keira was obviously the odd one out whenever placed among girls. And the fact that a majority of them resembled her mother’s personality and talked shit behind her back didn’t help the situation at all. Keira was miserable; she cried every morning before going to school and every afternoon after returning from it. The only place where she truly felt like herself was when playing soccer, but even there the girls slowly became like the rest the second puberty started to hit them.
- And then there was Felicity Chamberlain – the girl everyone was talking about. She was on that ‘the girls wanna be her and boys wanna be with her’ type of shit and it left Keira completely mesmerized. Being offered friendship by her it was one of the strangest things that have happened in her life, but like her grandmother always said, some people are a blessing and Felicity was Keira’s. Sure, she was a tad bit mean at times, especially to the ones she didn’t deem worthy. And her posse were pretty much like the girls that talked shit about her during lunch, but because of Felicity, they managed to accept Keira nice and easy.
- For the first time Keira had someone to shit talk her mother with. To let go from all that pent up anger and frustration without kicking the ball into someone’s face. Felicity listened to her and gave her advice and told Keira that she is perfect just the way she is. That there is nothing wrong in being different and that her mother should be proud that her daughter isn’t a copy of every other girl that attended Bradford Prep.
- The bond that formed between the two girls made Keira feel warm inside. She wanted to spend all her free time with Felicity and whenever one of the other girls would spend more time with her she felt the slightest pang of jealously. Soon, she would come to realize that the love she’s always felt for her best friend is more than just friendly. Keira had a full blown crush on Felicity and had no idea how to deal with it. She was worried that people would notice so she avoided speaking to Felicity in front of others and would do anything to prove herself otherwise. There was no way she could like girls – her mother would kill her.
- If she hadn’t felt the need before, Keira was sure as hell feeling it now: she needed to be like the rest. She needed to be normal. She needed to become the version that her mother always wanted to be. And then Felicity died. How can someone so full of life commit suicide? Keira could never understand.
- The hole Felicity’s death left in Keira’s chest was growing bigger with each passing day and the more she looked into it the more she realized that Felicity wasn’t always completely honest with her. She had secrets and one of them might as well have killed her.

Sebastian "Bash" Covington, 17
Portrayed by: Daniel Sharman
Notes: Headmistress Covington's second son
*Captain of the boy's lacrosse team
*Head boy- Bit of a nerd
*Opposite of Marissa but there seems t be a connection
Explain relationship: Always had a crush on Marissa but since she's been back they've grown closer and it seems that she might feel the same. He is a bit worried because of her reputation and his mother will explode if she finds out because she hates Marissa.
- Bit of a nerd
-
I am pretty open to start up some drama so if any of your characters might be slightly interested in Keira in a romantic way, I'm all in!
COURTNEY PALMER, 17
Portrayed by: Daphne Groenveld
Notes: An incredibly talented tennis player, has gone to several competitions and is basically the school's golden girl. Is a picture perfect candidate except rumor has it that she turned down the offer since she's not interested in being part of a clique - especially one that had Felicity as their leader. Headstrong and fiercely independent. The boys often called her an uglier version of Felicity.
Explain relationship: Had zero contact when Felicity was alive mainly because of the rumored feud between them. Keira met her over the summer at the resort she was staying along with her parents and brother. Their friendship begins only after Felicity's death. It is very likely that Keira will develop a crush on Courtney due to the fact that she slightly resembles Felicity and because of her kindness. -
@spacelava I'm down for some drama between our characters since they both kind of liked Felicity?

Isaac Covington, 18
Portrayed by: Jan Aeberhard

Portrayed by: Andre Hamann
Notes: English literature professor at Bradford
Explain relationship: Julian approached Skye while she was sitting in the outdoor patio of a Paris café, intrigued by how different she seemed from the other girls in the city. Their relationship started nearly right away, although Skye’s mother did her best to try and discourage it. However, they’d thought it was goodbye when Skye had to head back home…until the first day of school when she saw him on campus. -

@funbunbun
@buffykdhI'll make a separate thread . First event:
SUNDAY 1st July, ; Pack your trunks because it's time to go to Bradford or another drama filled year. All the students should report to the office first to get your dorm key and sign in, if you don't like your roommate you can always go complain. After you've got yourself settled, head to the chapel for the annual back-to-school bash.
[ P.S the girls haven't discovered Felicity's journal yet, that will only happen in the second event , so therefore Felicity's dorm room hasn't been packed up yet, all her stuff is still there and she was Marissa's roommate, so Marissa will be back in her old room without a roommate since they haven't packed Felicity's stuff) -
my set. Story will be up tonight
-
@expiredsunshine do we pick our roommates or are they assigned and posted somewhere?

@Followyourbliss
