opeɴ oɴe, ᴛʜᴇ ɢʀᴏᴏᴍ's sɪsᴛᴇʀ
𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐏𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐈𝐄 𝐙𝐇𝐀𝐎, 𝟐𝟖
(june 15th, 1990)Full Name: Stephanie Zhao
Full Chinese Name: Jiao Mei Zhao
Nicknames: Steph, Stevie
Hometown: Raleigh, North Carolina, USA.
Current Residence: Brooklyn, New York City, USA and Berlin, GermanyEducation: Dropped out of her Fashion Design: Womenswear in her final year at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London and returned to the States to attend Vermont Law School on a bursary.
Occupation: Barrister defending women against perpetrators of all sorts, also occasionally doing civil rights for immigrants (for reference, think an upcoming Amal Clooney-ish?)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.
Biography:
• Either way you put it, the Zhao kids have always been called army brats. A high-ranking officer in the navy, Mrs Zhao’s work required constant moving from one country to the other, if not entire continents altogether. Her early childhood is not something she fondly remembers, although in all honesty Stephanie only remembers bits and pieces about it, because of her constant ‘outcast’ status among local kids. Things changed a lot once William was born, because there was someone to come home to from school and that someone sure was excited as ever to see her and play around the house with her. Secretly, Stephanie has spent many years of her life wondering whether her parents finally had William out of mercy for Stephanie’s constant misery as a child, but when John (name TBD) was born the supposition seemed too selfish and out of the question to hold on to.
• You could say Stephanie is the unconventional one in a family of extremely proper people, although where would that leave William, who’s marrying a woman he met six months prior? In any case, there have always been tensions among parents and grandparents about Stephanie’s upbringing, her lack of desire to put actual real clothes on, her prodigal so-called promiscuity, and in more recent years her unapologetic orientation. The Zhaos have seen more lovers from Stephanie than actual, genuine friends, and her current lifestyle as a barrister doesn’t sound that promising on the platonic relationships sector.
• Stephanie has recently managed to get a job at Boies, Schiller, & Flexner LLP in New York City, where she’s working with top professionals in the field. It’s an extremely challenging place to be in, especially when you’re a hyper emancipated woman who’s got a big mouth and will get into a heated argument in no time, but she’s super determined to prove herself she’s both capable and worth the job title.
• A lesser known fact about Stephanie is her battle with addiction, which started just about the time she began attending Central Saint Martins. The dr.ugs, the drinks, the partying, the desperation, it was part of her daily life as a coming-of-age all-American girl in London. She’s been good for more than five years now, but it’s still a rough patch in her life that will even nowadays make concerned relatives frown when they see her reaching for a third drink at get togethers.
• Stephanie’s mentality has always been career first, heart second, but it’s been too god damn long to keep denying that she is, deep down, a complete hopeless romantic. As shocking as it may seem, Stephanie can’t wait for her moment to come when she’ll walk down the aisle and marry the person of her dreams, and yet her current love life shows no signs of it being anywhere near. Although entertaining a rather serious – but open – relationship with Heinrich Bauhmann, an entrepreneur from Berlin, said openness of the relationship has led her to several more flings. With a whopping total of five special ones around her, it’s hard for Stephanie to keep up and gather a somewhat definite idea of what it is she’s looking for in a partner.
• Of all the people she’s been fortunate enough to meet in her life, there will always be one person who will never ever leave her side, and whom she’ll always call her favourite. Although technically meant to get along due to their shared blood, William is Stephanie’s rock, her confider, the only one she’ll take advice from. He was also the one to confront her about her addiction and guide her towards seeking help, so in many ways she feels like she owes him her life. And yet, no matter how much she hates admitting it, there is something inside Stephanie that breaks at the thought of Will getting married and moving on with his life. It’s foolish and selfish beyond measure, but who will be there to mend her when her brother’s off building his life with another woman Stephanie has just barely gotten to know of?

I decided to break up the extra things I was creating onto different posts, since the original was getting a tad long.
Audition: forum post #13
•• § ••
HANNAH RINGWALD HEAD CANONS
- Elizabeth and Hannah always joke that they were destined to find each other, given Hannah’s middle name is also Elizabeth. Of course, that’s a common middle name, but they don’t bother caring about that. They are pretty much opposites, but they have an uncanny connection. It was a no-brainer that she would be the Maid of Honor. Hannah knows her personality isn’t necessarily “party planner,” but she has confidence in Elizabeth.
- William, her fiancé, goes by Liam to pretty much everyone, but Hannah playfully calls him Willie after a silly inside joke from the night they met.
- She knows what she wants for basically the entire wedding...except her dress. Despite all of the pinterest boards full of beautiful gowns, she can’t even envision what she wants to wear down the aisle. It’s driving her crazy.
- Hannah is not ready to listen to anyone tell her that the rushed wedding is a mistake. If she hears one more joke about a shotgun, she may snap a neck. She is happy. Liam is happy. If you can’t be happy for them, leave.
- Hannah honestly has horrible music taste and should never be allowed to dj in the car. She doesn’t know how to find new music and basically just ends up jamming to the same cheesy songs from five years ago on repeat. Music is just, too hard to keep up with, okay?
- There is really only one ex that she is truly a bit hung up on, and the Core Five know that the name “Eli” cannot even be said out loud these days. They dated for eight months during junior year of undergrad. It was Hannah’s longest relationship ever. When he dumped her, he continued to string her along for sex and an emotional rollercoaster for almost an entire year. Despite everyone telling her to quit him, she just couldn’t. He’s not invited, of course, but what fun would it be if he didn’t make a surprise appearance and cause some drama anyway?
- Her new post-grad relationship with Meredith is what she considers to be her first “grown-up” friendship. They’re incredibly close, but sometimes Hannah feels a bit guilty. She often can’t keep up with Meredith’s lifestyle financially. While Meredith does pay for some things for Hannah without blinking because she knows they have a genuine bond, it does eat away at Hannah. She has that burning desire to be independent and the one people can rely on, instead of having to rely on others. And money is a...tough subject for her.
- Hannah loves to travel, but she has mostly road-tripped around the US so far. It is just recently that she has been able to expand her world a little bit. Once Willie is a full-fledged pilot, they plan on having endless around-the-world adventures together.
- There is probably no one on this planet who is as bad at cooking as Hannah is. It is the scourge on her otherwise-perfect Mom resume.

THE FIANCÉ
WILLIAM ZHAO, 25
(July 31st, 1992)English Name: William Zhao
Chinese Name: Jianguo Ming-Húa Zhao
Nicknames: Liam, Willie, Jiang
Hometown: Honolulu, Hawaii
Current Residence: Brooklyn, New YorkEducation: Graduated in 2014 with his Bachelors in Business Administration from Columbia; currently working towards his Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) license
Occupation: “Student” for his pilot’s license but also a flight attendant that dabbles in travel blogging until he’s “earned his own wings”Likes: flying, exploring remote and exotic places, his pet fish named Puppy, donuts, Hannah of course, rock music, socks with sandals no matter how many people tease him because it’s COMFY MAN
Dislikes: people who clap when the plane lands, being in one place too long, shopping, the Wall Street lifestyle, delays or being late, really rude passengers, how traveling makes it hard to have a dog, jet lagPersonality: So punctual that it honestly is a part of his personality, usually struggles to forge lasting relationships because of how much he moved when he was young and how much he still does now, incredibly independent, very tolerant of differences and really loves to learn about/from cultures and people that are diverse and unique, dry humor, hard-working, doesn’t make a very good first impression (so is quite surprised Hannah thought otherwise), “stop trying to figure out if the glass is half empty or full and just drink it” type, focuses on the big picture to the point where he maybe doesn’t build on the necessary details to make that big picture happen, tries to be kind/thoughtful but finds that his nature is to have himself and his needs as priority, might sometimes take advantage of how Hannah also puts him first but not with a malicious intent, needs to learn how to compromise more, doesn’t worry easily and takes life as it comes, very loyal to his family
Biography:
- Liam doesn’t like the term army brat, but it is the easiest way to describe his childhood. The Zhaos were a military family that moved around a lot. Because of all of shifting landscapes, his best friends were and always will be his older sister and brother.
- Before she retired, Liam’s mom was a high-ranking official in the navy. She has always been his hero, even when he didn’t admit it as a teenager. His dad juggled a lot of things — home schooling the kids if they didn’t have a good school nearby, writing his novel, supporting his wife’s hard work and dreams.
- They had a beautiful, happy marriage and tried to bestow as much of a “proper” life on their children as they were able. They wanted all of their children to be great at communicating and conflict management. It really only worked for John (idk name tbd lol). There was always Stephanie, who was just...Stephanie, whereas Liam tended to be a little angry at his parents when he was younger for not having a more stable location. He wasn’t very interested in taking their advice when he was convinced that he knew best.
- Liam always thought he wanted to settle down early and lead “a very normal life.” But as soon as he had a taste of that by going to a top-tier university and dipping his toes into Wall Street, he found himself feeling empty.
- So he quit his job almost immediately and surprised everyone by continuing the nomadic lifestyle.
- He can be a little bit hard to keep track of and contact, unless your name is Stephanie. She is the only person who consistently gets a text back and a location from him. Part of it is because of their unbreakable bond as children, but a huge reason has also been her struggle with addiction. Liam would do anything to save her from that, and he wants to always be there when she needs him.
- Liam has been searching for that sense of purpose in life for as long as he can remember. He is more than just a little bit of a lost wanderer. Flying is his passion, but it is not the only thing that fulfills him.
- He has never had the concept of home...until he met Hannah. She makes him feel grounded.
- Their love is an intoxicating whirlwind. Liam did not necessarily intend to be married young, but once they joked about it, he couldn’t get it out of his head. His whole life, he has been running away. What if this once, he took the chance to put down roots? For Hannah, that is a risk he is finally willing to take.

STORYBOARD / IMPORTANT PEOPLE
THE GIRL
Cat Lachey, 24
A bit of an internet personality, especially around the art Tumblr area, Cat earns her living by putting her fictional characters through hell and making fan-art. The dreamer in a family of hardcore realists, she switched her majors three times, before finally giving in and graduating with a diploma in art. Recently ended her five year relationship with a boy she once considered to be the one and is hopelessly searching for a little bit direction in her life.
(fc: Zoey Deutch)THE FAMILY
Carl Lachey, 55 (father)
Third time's a charm is probably Mr. Lachey's favorite saying, mainly because everything in his life has come in threes. His first marriage lasted three years; it took him only three months to propose to his second wife and three weeks to divorce her after 23 years. Mr. Lachey is a lawyer, much like all his wives and daughters - well, with the exception of Cat (he really hopes that his unborn daughter will become one though). Despite his failed relationships, he is a big old softie that cares about his girls A LOT and is willing to do everything just so they can be happy.
(fc: tba)Stella Roberts, 51 (mother)
Unlike her ex-husband, the former Mrs. Lachey isn't that soft. To be perfectly honest she was far stricter when it came to parenting and raising Cat - those big ol' puppy eyes and tears never had an effect on her (well, after the third time she eventually gives up). Yes, she is very disappointed that Cat has had a difficult time making decisions all her life and yes, she is disappointed that she picked her lifelong passion for art instead of law school, but a part of her knows that Cat made the right decision by following her heart, instead of her mother's overly ambitious plans. The two occasionally butt heads, mainly due to the fact of their clashing personalities (Ms. Roberts thinks Cat is incredibly emotional and needs to be in a better control of her emotions).
(fc: Lea Thompson)Caroline Lachey, 28 (older sister)
The thing with children of divorced parents where one of the parent begins a new family with a new partner is that most of the times, the first children feel like the odd one out. In Caroline's case, it was quite the opposite. Maybe it's because of her interests (and later profession), but Caroline always fit in with her father's new family. Her little sister though, that was a different story. The two are as different as night and day - one is overly logical while the other tends to spend her days with her head in the clouds. Over time they somehow managed to look past those differences and now are one another's closest friend as well as confidant. As a matter of fact, Caroline was the first one in the family that actually encouraged Cat to go chase after her dreams.
(fc: Madelyn Deutch)WHATEVER
Jamie Parikh, 25 (ex-boyfriend)
They met in their freshman year of college and despite the fact that Jamie dropped out after one semester, they still managed to stay in touch. Cat and her friends would often go out in the bar that he and his band would play and she would be his biggest fan and groupie. Becoming a couple was something that came natural to them. Before Cat knew it the two lived together and they supported one another's dreams unconditionally. Up until the point they moved to Los Angeles and Jamie's band blew up. The constant travelling and the parties were a bit too much for Cat and she always left early - because she knew Jamie and she trusted him ( something she would later regret). His cheating left her heartbroken, but the fact that no one actually told her was even more heartbreaking.
(fc: Avan Jogia)Mason Miller, 23 (ex-friend)
For a while he was referred to as Benji's replacement - at least to Cat. A bit reserved at first, Mason's true frat boy personality eventually came out six months after being in the band. A heavy drinker, he was known for his womanizing ways and his incredible talent for playing the guitar. It took a while for Cat to warm up to him, but much like Mason himself once they became friends, he became the little brother she never knew she wanted. Eventually things went downhill ever since the band's big break. Mason became a lot more obnoxious and irresponsible to the point where he would straight up disrespect Cat. When she found out about Jamie's cheating, she really wasn't surprised that Mason heavily encouraged him.
(fc: KJ Apa)Devon Parker, 25 (ex-friend)
One of Jamie's oldest friends, it was actually Devon that is sort of responsible for Cat and Jamie getting together. A talented drummer, Devon is the comic relief of the group - the glue that kept everyone together and the one that opposed to Benji's undisclosed departure. He and Cat were pretty close so maybe that's why it hurt so much when she found out about Jamie's cheating.
(fc: Ezra Miller)BLAST FROM THE PAST
Benji Pratt, 25 (friend)
One of the original members of Jamie's band, he along with Devon were incredibly close with Cat. According to him, Jamie was a better person when around Cat, but sadly that didn't last for long. Two years before the band's big break Benji was kicked out for reasons that are still unclear for Cat. But now, that she is aware of Jamie's tendency to sprout lies, maybe the story he was selling to her all those years ago - the one about how Benji wasn't hundred percent devoted to the band - might as well be a lie.

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. -

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.Taken by: @ingle hopefully!
