Nicknames: M, M&M, Bates, Mon, Mags (her sisters)
Hometown: Cheswick, Northumberland, England
Current Residence: Chelsea, New York

Education: Double-major in Classics and pre-med track at Columbia University
Occupation: Tragically underutilizing her education as an assistant procurement/buyer, which is not medical school at all and does not make her sound as good, and she's probably never going to be a doctor at this rate, and she'll never be able to settle down anywhere because she'll be so busy traveling all the time, and she'll never have a steady anything, so shut up if you think it's cool. She's tired.

𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐏𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐈𝐄 𝐙𝐇𝐀𝐎'𝐒 𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖𝐍 𝐀𝐒𝐒𝐎𝐂𝐈𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐒

𝐅𝐀𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐘
ɪ. ᴍᴏᴛʜᴇʀ / (name, age TBA; joan chen)
A high-ranking navy official and the world's most hard working mother (in her kids' opinion, anyway), Stephanie and her mom didn't always get along. Due to her demanding position and long working hours, she was barely ever at home, leaving the kids with their dad for most of their upbringing. There was a strange sense of betrayal Stephanie felt seeing other girls grow up having stereotypical fights with their mothers, when she barely knew her own. It was for this particular reason that Stephanie was mostly at war with her mother, blaming her for abandoning the family and being too focused on her work - but now, in a similar position as her mother so many years ago, Stephanie has come to the bittersweet conclusion she was truly trying her best to still pursue her career and maintain a happy, prosperous family.

ɪɪ. ғᴀᴛʜᴇʀ / (name, age TBA; li xuejian)
A stay at home dad and part-time novelist, Stephanie remembers seeing him as both a father and a mother when there was no real one around. His devotion to his wife, and ultimately his kids, motivated him to work from home and take a step back from his tight-schedule youth for the sake of raising healthy, emotionally stable children. To say that Stephanie's dad is her ultimate hero would be an understatement, despite the rough patches they've had due to her struggle with addiction.

ɪɪɪ. ʏᴏᴜɴɢᴇsᴛ ʙʀᴏᴛʜᴇʀ / (name TBA, 18; lee bom chan)
It's not that Stephanie doesn't love her youngest brother - she does, to the point where relatives start complaining she's pampering him too much. But in reality, with a whole ten year gap and an increasingly short time spent together, nobody could blame them for not having all that much in common. In all fairness, it came as a surprise when he was born, Stephanie thinking William was going to be her sole companion for life. Still, there are two people who she'll care for till her last breath, and those people are her two precious brothers.

ɪᴠ. ғᴀᴠᴏᴜʀɪᴛᴇ ʙʀᴏᴛʜᴇʀ / (William Zhao, 25; Hao Yun Xiang)
What's not to love about William? Although technically an only child or four years, there's only so much you can do with a new-born baby, so Stephanie really became deeply grateful for her parents producing William at around five years old, when her first brother started actively walking around and trying to communicate. Raised as bilingual children, she was there to help him with the English, while their parents were trying to juggle with the Mandarin. Growing up, William stayed her number one best friend, the one person she could share her deepest darkest secrets and fears knowing full well there will be zero judgement. Words could not express how much she cares about him, and now that he's entering a new stage in his life she's secretly nervous for him, but nonetheless convinced he's never gotten himself into any serious trouble before.

✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰

𝐂𝐔𝐏𝐈𝐃'𝐒 𝐊𝐈𝐃𝐒
ᴀ. ᴅᴇᴠɪɴ ʟᴜᴄᴀs / (26; hilda dias pimentel)
The Guilty Pleasure -- Hilda met Stephanie about five years ago, in a questionable bar in Brooklyn right after the latter had finished an intensive rehab treatment to get her life back from the depths of addiction. It started out as nothing more than offering each other a drink, then going back home together, then occasionally meeting at one or the other's apartment. There's truly never been a real emotional connection, but Stephanie keeps going back to her every once in a while these days.

ʙ. ᴀʙᴇʟ ᴊᴀᴍᴇs ᴛʜᴏᴍᴘsᴏɴ / (29; patrick o'donnell)
The Absolute Worst -- You know when you find a guy who's intoxicatingly attractive but also the human equivalent of a dumpster? That's Abel for you. He's no doubt one of the most beautiful guys Stephanie has ever met in her entire life, but he's also one of the most problematic. Having met her at Central Saint Martins, you could say Abel was one of the main acts in her long battle with bad habits. Ironically a fellow New Yorker, dropping out of CSM and moving back home didn't buy her much time, as he too moved back home to open his own boutique of hyper-masculine apparel. Needless to say, it's quite difficult to erase a love story of almost three whole years, so they have seen each other since her return to the States.

ᴄ. ʜᴇɪɴʀɪᴄʜ ʙᴀᴜʜᴍᴀɴɴ / (31; clement chabernaud)
The Good Guy -- Tender, caring, challenging and super charismatic are the first things that come to Stephanie's mind to best describe her most stable lover to date. Heinrich and Stephanie have loosely known each other since her days as a Law student, but things really started happening after she graduated. They've been official for three years, with her partly relocating in Berlin to support his entrepreneurial projects. He's endlessly fascinating and his love compares to no other she's felt before, but there is one thing that always has her guessing what would come next: they're an openly open relationship. While the decision did come as an act of mercy on his side when she simply couldn't take the idea of 'settling down', it has now become a constant question mark weighing down on her shoulders - who's he seeing? Are they better than she is? Does he like them more? Little does she know Heinrich's part of the non-exclusive deal is far less active than her own.

ᴅ. ʟᴜɴᴀ ᴀᴍᴀʀɪ / (26; damaris goddrie)
The Hopeful Lover -- It's been roughly a year since the two met, but even so, Luna is besotted with Stephanie. What started out as a very good barista-client relationship progressed towards a very close friendship that ultimately led to waking up together every once in a while. And although Stephanie has been completely upfront about dating Heinrich (leaving the others a secret Luna doesn't have to know), the fact that another person was in her life never stopped Luna from trying her hardest to win Stephanie entirely.

ᴇ. ᴍᴀᴛᴛʜɪᴀs ғᴏᴛᴏᴘᴏᴜʟᴏs / (28; anders gran)
The Looks-Like-A-Bad-Idea-But-He's-Actually-A-Good-Lad -- Stephanie met this Greek god in a bar in Berlin, where he works as a photographer. They shared some drinks and then phone numbers and then the Uber home, agreeing to meet the next evening for a tour of his studio. The tour ended with a kiss, and the promise of a future meeting, which ended up being a surprise photo shoot. And while one thing led to the other, he became a person oddly difficult for Stephanie to push away - not in a clingy way, no, but rather in an attempt at friendship on his side. Even now, when their status is terribly uncertain, she calls him every time she's in town to share a bottle of wine and some cigarettes, just keeping up with each other's lives.

✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐎𝐍𝐋𝐘 𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐓𝐎𝐍𝐈𝐂 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍
ᴀɴᴀsᴛᴀsɪᴀ 'sɪᴀ' ɢʀᴀʜᴀᴍ / (30; anja rubik)
Former student at the same university and same course as Stephanie, only a year above, Sia has somehow managed to become the only consistent, real friend Stephanie has had in literally ages. She's the down to earth rational type, which helps bring the bigger picture to Stephanie's attention whenever she's in trouble in her personal life. Moreover, although married to a woman, Sia has never ever felt anything more than platonic friendship and care for Stephanie, something that felt oddly reassuring and convincing for someone with such complicated experiences with love.

Hiya! Just a quick heads up that auditions end in five days.
P.S. Introduction stories aren't mandatory, but they can really help you further figure out your character and at the same time help the rest of us get a taste about what they are really about.

Two more days left to audition! If any of you need last minute extensions please tell me!

EMILY ARBOR, 24
(November 22, 1993)

Full Name: Emily Louis Arbor
Nicknames: Em, Emmy
Hometown: Boston, Massachusetts
Current Residence: Boston, Massachusetts

Education: BA in Publishing at Emerson College
Occupation: Intern at Beacon Press

Likes: big libraries, scented candles, fireplaces, knitwear, beer, baseball, rainstorms, kneesocks, pubs, karaoke, sushi, medical dramas, red nail polish, dog parks, reading in the bath
Dislikes: traffic, slow walkers, tourist, her boss, literary snobs, the Yankees, her obnoxious neighbors, feeling out of place, papercuts, clingy exes, Facebook, diet sodas, sand

Personality: Emily is a laid back kind of girl that’s up for anything. If you want someone to be your better judgement when you’ve had too many drinks on a night out, Emily is not your girl. She’s like the devil on your shoulder encouraging you to call that ex and get that tattoo on your lower back. Emily isn’t the type for a lot of fanfare and glamour, it makes her feel uncomfortable like a child playing dress up in her mother’s clothes. She’s a good listener though. Emily is the type of person to sit and just listen to someone’s problems without saying a word herself.

Biography:
Emily grew up in a rough and tumble kind of house with four brothers and parents that were too busy to really pay attention to anyone other than themselves. As a child she ran around the city of Boston jumping in rain puddles and eating candy bars for dinner. Emily was far from being a proper young lady in her very middle class neighborhood. It wasn’t until she met her childhood best friend Hannah that she finally mellowed out and matured just enough for teachers and neighbors to stop their snarky comments about her wild long hair and rude table manners. The whispers about her negligent parents seem to vanish when Emily started to hang out with Hannah and she stopped acting like her ferrell brothers.
When it came time for the girls to graduate high school and head to their respective universities they promised to talk every week and make a point to hang out whenever they were in the same city, but like many other high school friendships time and life took its toll and they slowly drifted apart. No dramatic fall out, no tears, no cold shoulders, just busy uni schedules and jobs taking over precious free time.
Emily stayed in their home city of Boston and that’s where she likes to be, especially now with her father passing on and her mother starting ail. Ironically Emily now cares for her mother they way she almost wishes her mother cared for her. Between work and her mom, Emily’s only fun is happy hour at the bar at the end of her street. Her current friendships and relationships have currently started to feel hollow and superficial and there has been a new stirring in Emily’s gut that perhaps she needs an adventure to stifle this new restlessness. So you can imagine Emily’s excitement when an invitation from an old friend popped in her mail.

“The Cousin”
Aphrodite Lane, 23`
April 28

Nicknames: Minnie (her model alias)
Hometown: Upper East Side, NY
Current Residence: Los Angeles, CA
Education: College Graduate, Degree in Public Relations
Occupation: She’s a runway model
Likes: Modeling, Photos, Selfies, Gummy Bears, Makeup, Designer Brands, Celebrities
Dislikes: Boring Events, No Valets, Wedding..are they really necessary, Family
Personality: Aphrodite Lane is indeed the stuck up bitch the media portrays her as. She likes to pretend she has all her shit together. Though the press isn’t wrong she is a bad girl. She has never denied that. She does like to get in trouble. She also never denied that she’s stuck up and rude. It doesn’t even phase her anymore. She is extremely rude. Her ego is large, but for some reason, she can’t pretend around Hannah.

Biography:
Aphrodite Lane grew up on the Upper East Side of New York. Her parents raised her from a young age in pageants. She’s always been on a stage sharing her show-stopping smile. She’s been a winner since age 10.
At the age of 12, she was scouted by Model Exchange, the biggest modeling agency in New York. Her career as a model took off. She starred in many ad campaigns and fashion shows. As soon as her career took off her parents moved to the east coast to get her more recognition.
She never really had contact with her aunt and uncle (or her cousin for that matter). Her parents think it’s time for her to get a reality check. She has gotten way out of hand. They cancelled all her plans for the next 2 months and are making her help Hannah and attend her wedding.

Cordelia -Coco- Jankowski - @buffykdh
Barbara Armstrong - @expiredsunshine

Open 2 aka Emily Arbor - @ingle

EXTENSIONS
Meredith Langenberg - @Laumk

IMPORTANT
The only available role left is the one of Monica B and it ultimately goes to the person who had her first on their top three and that is @Followyourbliss (pls dm/pm me if you're interested in writing for her). As for @filthysoul since you're the only one left and I didn't want to decline your audition because I do think Aphrodite will be a nice addition to the team (especially drama wise) you also get the role as the bachlorette party crasher - because every party needs one.

For those with extensions please make sure you finish your auditions until July 20th. Same goes for @Followyourbliss if she wants the part of Monica. The rest who got the roles can begin plotting.

The current tag list will be added together with the group description.

Barbara's intro set, pm me your relationship with her. Barbara doesn't really make enemies though, she tries to get along with everyone.. so keep that in mind

Elizabeth Gurusky Plotting / Intro

Her Audition
Comment here with ideas.

General Ideas:

• Someone who is down to relive their party glory days
• A planning rival / someone who thinks they know Hannah better, maybe they don't approve of her still being a party girl or just hate Elizabeth trampling their ideas
• Someone besides Hannah who she stays in pretty regular contact with
• Someone she flat out hated when they were in college but actually enjoys now?
• These ideas are rly mediocre but thats what happens when you try to do your radio show while you plot.

Here's my plotting set, I promise to come up with ideas asap and also comment on your ideas as soon as possible. I'm gonna be away July 12-16, but I think I might be able to sneak in a few things. ALSO DON'T GET ME STARTED ON THE ITEM SHIFT BECAUSE I AM FUMING.

BASIC INFORMATION
Likes: cold brews all year round, being busy all the time, waking up early to reply to emails, a good drink (or maybe three), feeling purposeful, feeling wanted, boys and girls the same way, the korean seven step skincare routine, buying new books she might not be able to read in a whole year, online shopping while commuting, the art in berlin and the nightlife in Brooklyn, fancy lingerie, underground semi-dodgy coffee shops, being a ‘nasty woman’, never ever turning the other cheek.

Dislikes: having to wear many layers of clothes, ‘ugh do you even like anything that is not super obscure??’, airbnbs that do not accept pets, guys who want to be exclusive right away, not wanting to be exclusive right away, not knowing what exactly it is that she wants, ‘you surely must be working out so much to be so fit’, ‘do all chinese women look young forever?’, people reading too much into her chinese v. western names, being honked at / catcalled, being told to keep her mouth shut.

Personality: If you ever wondered what the human version of a summer thunderstorm would be, Stephanie is your girl. There’s no way you could ever predict her mood, but be sure whichever it is it will be in full force and all of a sudden and will likely change shortly. Similarly, her love life is just as unpredictable, and even though there are a few craving for stability, it’s just not something she’s ready to give just yet. Out of selfishness, maybe, her idea of freedom leaving little space for anyone else beside herself, or maybe out of habit, seeing as the Zhaos have never really had a stable home for more than a mandate. Stephanie’s not the most popular girl, but not because of her mood swings; it’s her overachieving career-first attitude that has proven to push people away most of the time, words like ‘cold’ or ‘individualist’ being thrown at her on the daily. But aside from that half of the truth, the other half shows a generally sociable person, who’ll be the first to say yes to a party, and if enough effort is put into it, you’ll probably have her come to your apartment at midnight with ice cream and tissues when you’re having a crisis.

FULL AUDITION - https://goo.gl/8GC8kk

PLOTTING INFORMATION - Right, so before plotting I think it should be reiterated that Stephanie has only met the bride before, and maybe a few of the other bridesmaids in dress fitting sessions, but my point is she's new to almost all of them. So we're gonna have to build up on how they feel about each other with zero background!
