personality
Aspen's most notable feature would be that he is a follower. He isn't one to often enjoy taking control of a situation, though he will if he believes he absolutely has to. He is not one to act on emotions and tries to consider the logic in all situations. As such, the very rare occurance in which he will challenge others is only in the case where they are clearly being illogical.

Aspen has never been one who is incredibly enthusiastic. He rarely smiles, except in cases where it deems it necessary for social situations. He is certainly fond of some people and being around them is enjoyable, but he rarely expresses emotion. To any who know him, Aspen would be described as a side character in his own life. He seems to just be along for the ride. The one real point that can be made is that he is loyal. He adores his friends and while he won't actively interrupt people speaking badly about them, he will completely disengage with anyone who says things he deems as rude or uncalled for.

childhood
Aspen was born the fourth child of seven from an upper middle class family. He spent much of his early years following in his older sibling's footsteps and attempting to keep up with their academics.

teenage years
The eve of his eleventh birthday, Aspen lost both his parents in a car crash. His older siblings were forced into a parental role and he sort of fell by the wayside, as someone who could take care of himself. He was basically forgotten, unless he did not meet the family's high expectations - in which case he was promptly punished.

entering adulthood
Once becoming an adult, he decided to mix logic with freedom. As such, he decided on becoming an architect, where he would be able to create within specific confines.

personality
Pandora is fairly oblivious and to be honest she has no idea what is happening. She doesn't understand the world or it's people, and is therefore very prone to being taken advantage of. She doesn't like that. However, she feels little. She isn't great at facial expressions, so her smiles often seem robotic. It takes a lot of her energy to pretend to show emotions like others do, but every once and a while it is genuine. For example, she often wishes that she could have more family or friends then she does. She wishes many things. So she is envious. So very envious

Pandora is used to following orders. If someone tells you something, they wish for you to do it. It is her job to make people happy, so she must do everything they ask of her. It's safe to say she isn't great at standing up for herself. However, this isn't much of a problem because she loves the world and the world loves her. Right? That's what he promised. Who promised? She can't remember.

Pandora is very loyal and kind to her friends and family. She loves her friends. she would do anything for them. Do you have a problem with Pandora's friends?
All she wants is to to make friends. Her friends should be happy. It is simple.

childhood
Growing up, "Pandora" had a fairly simple life. Both her parents were from the south and raised her accordingly, with manners, country music, and gumbo. She was loved, but never felt like she fit in.

teenage years
During her teen years, Pandora experimented with everything. She wasn't sure what she wanted or who she was. And even now, she's never felt like she fits in. So she decided to make her own place to fit

entering adulthood
As her graduation present, her parents bought her a business. Of course they would manage it until she was ready, but it was hers. So she would fit there. In the thrift shop, among discarded and mismatched items Pandora's never felt more at home.

likes

dislikes
Styrofoam, chalk boards, hiccups, reading, nair, junk mail, and most concerts

personality
Atlas has never lied in his life. Well, that is an exaggeration but he is generally a really sweet, down to earth kid who just needs to chill out a bit. Speaking of, he has always been the class clown. He'd do anything for a laugh, even when it comes to putting himself in danger. He unfortunately doesn't have much foresight and often rushes into things without thinking them through. This tends to be a problem

Atlas has always had a bit of a temper, though he unfortunately didn't grow out of it as he aged. He has trouble keeping his mouth shut and hurls insults at people at least once a day. He also believes he is the best, as is anyone who associates with him. That's really it. He thinks he is the shit.

Despite his flaws, when Atlas loves, he loves hard. He wants the people in his life to live the happiest they can and he'd do anything to make that happen. Anything. Unfortunately, he has never really had to work for anything he has. He tries to do things the fastest way possible, even when there are consequences. So doing things to make people happy doesn't always work out the way he wants it to. However, when he believes in something, he puts his full force into it. He'd do anything to make it happen, even sacrificing his own well being.

childhood
Atlas had a good childhood. Two sisters and one brother, his parents were together and middle class. He had everything he could want. But it never felt like enough.

teenage years
The perfect life continued. Tons of dates, school quarterback, and everything he had ever wanted. But something was missing. He had trouble connecting with people, especially his siblings. So, he moved out as soon as he could.

entering adulthood
Now, ten years later, Atlas is still living above the same bar, with the same job, and the same friends. He feels stuck. But what's the other option?

Comic books, ugly sweaters, learning obscure skills for no reason, cinnamon, video games, and adult coloring books (specifically the swearing ones).

dislikes
Environments that are too clean, funerals, couple's tattoos, lukewarm beer, mazes, and any authority. Like, at all.

personality
Wren truly doesn't stand out much. She is rather chill and tends not to show or feel emotions that are too intense. When she does feel emotions, she tends to cope with humor. She is known to be rather sarcastic and it can be quite difficult to tell when she is actually being serious.

Her calm demeanor can occasionally make people feel invalidated, as she always tries to make it seem as if everything is fine when it isn't. Despite that, she is quite pessimistic. She always believes the worst thing possible is going to happen, which also results in her not trusting easily. While she is fairly friendly, she rarely interacts with people on a level deeper than the surface. As such, she isn't someone who shares a lot about herself. She does, however, tend to notice the smallest things about those she cares for. She is very thoughtful and caring, though she will absolutely deny it if you bring it up.

While she cares deeply about people, she absolutely despises caring about people. The second she realizes she cares for someone "too much" she will sabotage the relationship in an attempt to keep her careless and frankly, reckless demeanor. That being said, lately this defense system has begun to slip. She's starting to believe that some people might actually care. This has brought out a new side of Wren that even she isn't familiar with. The girl who spends her nights with a tub of ice cream and art carved from her soul now finds herself hanging out with her friends in her bedroom, jumping on her bed using a brush as a microphone for karaoke. She's beginning to realize that life doesn't have to hurt to be real.

So, she blasts music about learning to love yourself while trying to push away the people who are teaching her how. She is in a constant state of change but doesn't know where she began. Basically, chaos girl gets more chaotic.

i

iv
childhood
Wren is the only child of an upper middle class family and from the outside, she seemed to have a perfect life. Sure, her parents loved her, but from a young age it was obvious she was on her own. Left with babysitters, nannies, tutors, and basically anyone else who her parents could use to put distance between them and their responsibilities. As such, Wren was raised without any real connections to other people. Every once and a while, she would be around a babysitter long enough for a bond to form. A few hugs here and there maybe, in extreme situations maybe even a kiss on the head. But then they'd get a better job, or have their own kids and they'd leave. This caused Wren to see people caring about you as an exchange or service. No one is there because they want to be, they just have to be, for one reason or another.

teenage years
The day that Wren turned eighteen, her parents kicked her out. Bastards. So, she had to drop out of school and was homeless, taking any manor of odd jobs for the residents of Storybrooke.

entering adulthood
One of the first consistent jobs Wren had during her early adulthood was cleaning the tattoo shop called Ignite Ink. So, it only made sense that she became close to the shop's owner, a gruff, tattooed, formed biker gang member named Joseph. And well, when he realized that his favorite employee was sleeping on a bench, he got mad.

As soon as was physically possible, Joesph forced the then nineteen year old to move into an old converted storefront near the shop. And, because he is amazing, he took her under his wing. Wren had already had a bit of art experience and was quite good, so she picked it up in no time. Now, at twenty two, she runs the day to day operations of the shop and Joesph couldn't be prouder. That being said, he is literally one of the only people on earth she trusts, along with being the first person she ever said "I love you" to.

personality
To put it simply, Thiago loves people. He gains energy from interacting with others and will always be the first to talk to someone new. He wants all people to feel good and have friends. He was taught to always care for others before himself. That ideal has continued into his adulthood, though it has been repeatedly challenged. However, he loves a good laugh. He is somewhat childlike at times, which most around him find enjoyable. Unless you are an asshole.

Thiago is optimistic, almost to a fault. He believes there is good in everyone and people are capable of change. He believes in every person and will be their cheerleader, no matter what they've done to him. He'll always be there for you.

T has always been someone who attracts the most chaotic people. As such, he has had to put up with a lot of shit, and he's good at it. Putting up with things, I mean. He doesn't hold it against someone and is generally really sweet about it. He isn't a fan of confrontation in general and would rather go cry in a corner than argue.

However, this doesn't mean he doesn't have confidence. He knows his worth, though he struggles to state it. He also isn't the smartest, so he often has trouble when it comes to intellectual situations.

i

childhood
Thiago was born as an accident to his parents, whose only other child was fourteen at the time. His parents weren't necessarily bad people, but they weren't very involved. Truly, they had no clue what he was up to.

teenage years
By the time Ti was twelve, he was involved in some shifty activities. This resulted in him skipping school and eventually going to juvenile detention for almost two years. After he got out, his sister Elena petitioned to get custody of him. So, at fourteen, Tiago moved into his then twenty-eight year old sister's apartment. Elena did her best for him, though he continued to struggle.

About three months before turning eighteen, Tiago was getting desperate. Elena was trying her best to hide it, but she was struggling financially, along with emotionally due to caring for a child she never asked for. So, Ti took a risk. He and his "friend group" (mostly consisting of older guys using the kids) attempted to rob a particularly well-off family. And they are all idiots, so they got caught. And he was jailed for armed robbery.

entering adulthood
Tiago spent the next five-ish years in prison. By the time he got out, he was twenty three and while he doesn't talk about those formative years, it's clear they effected him.

With the support of his sister and her wife, Ti was able to get back on his feet. At twenty eight he has finally found a purpose and has begun to feel like a good person.

dislikes
Being early, Sudoku, scrabble, riddles, beings hot, hot air balloons, farmer's markets, and skipping stones

personality
Safiya is someone who is naturally very charismatic. People gravitate to her easily, whether that's good or bad is another question. She isn't someone that really hides her emotions, so the second you do something she dislikes, she will let you know. That being said, she isn't someone who will be incredibly malicious. Sure, she is the queen of being petty, but she doesn't wish anything but moderate annoyance on those she hates. Like, she'll sign to up to 40 email subscriptions, but she won't key your car, ya know?

Saf is certainly someone who would be considered kind and thoughtful. She is always going to be someone who goes the extra mile to help a stranger, though she will pretend to complain later. She is, however, a person who must be judged by her actions, not her words. She really wants to be a callous boss bitch, but that's just not who she is. She is certainly an all bark, no bite person. She is also incredibly sarcastic, which doesn't help people's perception of her.

Safiya is certainly a confident person, being outspoken and continuously standing up for others. However, she is also very easily flustered and nervous. When questioned about particularly vulnerable points, such as her parents or even her kind actions, she begins to stammer. She certainly has the plight of the therapist friend, where she listens to others so much that she doesn't know how to communicate about things which impact only her. If you ask her about something about the current political climate, she answers without missing a beat. But the second you ask about her hobbies, she is stuttering.

This is partially because she doesn't really see the point in speaking about her own issues or life. She is a fiercely independent person (though she gets lonely easy) and has always solved her problems without anyone else's input. So, when she does have a dilemma, she hides it. Then she gets home, has a mental breakdown, and is back the next day like nothing happened. She truly doesn't think her issues are big enough for anyone else to care. When speaking about herself, she turns into a middle schooler talking to her crush. It is embarrassing. Sorry Saf but it is true.

iv
childhood
Safiya was born the younger half of a set of identical twins. She and her sister, Fatima, were born to teen parents, who were kicked out of their homes shortly after the girls' birth. However, thanks to some rich uncle's help, the young family had money to live in hotel rooms until they could cross the country to live with said uncle. After a few months recovering from childbirth, they were ready to road trip to the uncle's house.

When the twins were about seven months old, Safiya caught a cold. Her father decided to stay in their hotel room with her, while her mother took Fatima with her to the pharmacy, in an effort to keep the elder twin from getting sick as well. That's when everything went to shit. At 10 AM on a Saturday, the Amble family car was hit by a drunk driver. Fatima survived and was rushed to the hospital while her mother died on impact. About a day later, their devastated father fell to his knees when he learned that his eldest daughter was paralyzed on her left side.

Their uncle Rahim, who they intended to live with, met up with the family as soon as he could to help. About two weeks later, he was in the hospital with Safiya, watching over her twin, while their father went to the hotel to get some rest. He died there. To spare their feelings, Rahim never told the girls how exactly they lost their father. But, by the time they turned one, the twins had lost both their parents and were taken in by their uncle.

teenage years
Safiya and Fatima were certainly raised in the upper class, due to their uncle's position as CEO of a pharmaceutical company. Despite his medical background, Rahim would often infantilize Fatima, treating her like she was an idiot despite her obvious intelligence. He insisted that Safiya essentially become her sister's live in assistant. From a young age, she wasn't really allowed to do anything she enjoyed or spend time with others. Fatima, of course, protested this as much as she could, but they truly had no power.

One thing the sisters bonded over was the arts. They found freedom in creating music and channeling their feelings through it, even if their uncle was the one to insist that they practice. It felt like their secret rebellion. This is truly where Saf's passion for music came from.

When they were twelve, their uncle decided that a school wasn't able to properly care for Fatima. So, he hired a slew of teachers and tutors to teach the girls from home. This isolated them even more.

entering adulthood
Despite the restrictive nature of their upbringing, the twins didn't leave once they turned eighteen. They truly had no where to go. Along with this, Fatima felt as if she owed Rahim for taking them in and truly, saving her life, as without his financial resources she may not have gotten the medical attention she needed as an infant. Meanwhile, Safiya felt responsible for her sister and didn't want to "abandon" her.

Over time, the girls found their own interests and left the house more. They finally felt like they had a life. And apparently, Fatima had a bit more of one than her sister, as when they were twenty-two, Fatima got engaged. She ended up moving out (thanks trust fund) and after about a year of friendly coersion, Saf followed in her footsteps. But, she seemed to have a problem. She couldn't seen to find her place in the world, still feeling as if she was taking a back seat to her sister's life. So, after an emotional conversation with her family, she left.

That's how Safiya ended up in Maine from Cali, all alone at twenty four. She has spent the last two years establishing herself and has quite the career. But she still can't tell if she is trying to have a good life because she wants to, or because her sister wants her to.

He’s loyal to those he cares about to be sure, he’s just not a yes man. He’ll tell you what you need to hear and even if you choose to ignore it, he’ll support you all the way. As long as you’re not really hurting yourself in doing so, he won’t push. That being said, he’s very sentimental. Most of his gifts are incredibly thoughtful, if not handmade. He’s not too good with spoken sentiments though, usually it just ends in an embarrassing bit of rambling he immediately regrets. He’s a creative fellow who uses it to come up with unique solutions to problems and stories he can tell to amuse his friends. He’s got an incredible business face that hides the absolute goofball hidden underneath. He’s not beyond dressing up or acting a fool with his friends, but he gets quite serious when it comes to gun safety and the process involved with selling them to people. He’s a lot stiffer around strangers, mostly because he is ever ready for the possibility of a robbery at work and it’s a bit difficult to just turn that off. Unless you really know him though, you’d never be able to tell. He’s fairly talented with keeping his feelings and motives hidden behind a pleasant expression.
Likes: Rock music, horror movies, lizards, concerts, helping people out, long naps, tea, a bit of peace and quiet after a long day, writing.
Dislikes: Being alone, seeing his friends upset, creeps, unfair situations, centipedes.
Fears: Losing someone he really cares about.
Hobbies: Archery, baking, D&D, woodworking.
Bio: Van Helsing was orphaned at age 8 after a vampire attack resulted in the death of both his parents. Despite being so young, he came to resent their race and vowed to become the greatest vampire hunter to ever live. The other villagers couldn’t really blame him, they all held a similar hatred for the blood suckers but lacked the courage to really do anything about it. The only problem with his plan? He had no clue where to begin looking for someone to train him. Anyone who could fight in town only knew how to combat humans, they couldn’t offer him anything beyond what he already knew. About a week passed and his patience had been spent. While the baker’s family had been very kind in taking him in, he was hardly interested in finding a new family. He wanted to avenge the old one, needed it more than he needed to eat or sleep. He needed some sort of progress, and there seemed to be only one place he’d have such luck.

In the dead of night, little Van Helsing set out with nothing more than a hunting knife, a warm cloak, and a loaf of bread with the intent to hike all the way up to Dracula’s castle. He hadn’t left a note, no one would know where he was going or be able to try stopping him. Either he’d come back with the vampire lord’s teachings or he wouldn’t come back at all. Perhaps this resigned determination is why Dracula took pity on the poor, half frozen boy when he finally arrived at the castle doors. Despite being covered in snow and shivering, he held out his knife and demanded answers from the elder vampire. Instead of killing him for both threatening him and arriving unannounced, Dracula invited the boy in and listened to his story. Knowing how primitive others of his kind could be, he felt sympathy for the young Van Helsing. The two made a deal that night. Dracula would teach him all he’d need to know to be a great vampire hunter and, in return, Van Helsing would live in the castle with him until he was ready to face the world on his own.

And so began the development of an interesting relationship. Dracula raised him as his own and taught him much more than just vampire weaknesses. He found a new appreciation for life and revenge no longer consumed him. The need was still there, ever lingering in the back of his mind, but it no longer controlled him. Beyond that, he came to understand that vampires weren’t so different from humans. There were some bad apples, some good ones, and some who simply wanted to survive. So, rather than hunting just any target he was given, Van Helsing vowed to investigate before executing. If the village’s fear was unjust, he’d help the vampire in question move on with a new slate. It wasn’t easy faking their deaths, but it was certainly rewarding work. He eventually found the monsters who’d taken his parents from him with a bit of Dracula’s help. Killing them did little to ease the hurt that followed death, but knowing they’d never hurt anyone else the way they hurt him did wonders for his conscience. In a strange turn of events, the village eventually asked him to take care of Dracula, the man he’d come to consider his father. Unbeknownst to anyone else, this put him in the perfect spot to protect the count just as he’d protected him all those years. It just takes a bit more convincing than burning a vaguely humanoid body.

In this world, however, Kane believes he stayed in Storybrooke to watch his parent’s home while they were on a vacation overseas. After a few months of them being gone, they called to inform him that they were actually looking for a place to move to in Australia. Movers arrived a few days later and he found himself with a house to take care of. He can’t remember going back to get his things, though they eventually showed up. He remembers opening the Ranger’s Guild not long after, and supposedly he’s been there ever since.
Faceclaim: Matt Mercer
Name: Felix Allyn
Nickname: Lixy
Age: 23
Height: 6’1
Gender: Male
Sexuality/Romantic Orientation: Demisexual/Panromantic
Occupation: Server at Calista’s restaurant
Fairy Tale Character: Flotsam

Personality: Felix is a bit of an oddball, to be sure. He’s known for having mood swings, though he usually hides it rather well in public. Even having to deal with these unannounced changes in emotion, anger is one of the rarer turns he takes. Most of the time it presents itself as depression or an incredibly happy burst of energy. Usually those are his most productive times and, no matter what time of day it is, he will capitalize on it. He tries his best not to let it keep him down or from doing anything. It’s a bit easier to push himself to do things for others, of course, but the self care aspect is a whole other story. He’s not afraid to ask others for help before he gets in over his head, though he tries not to make a habit of it. He’s a very hard worker and strives to be self reliant. He’s all about chasing your dreams because he knows what it’s like to let an opportunity go and regret it years later. That one experience has made him a bit reckless with his occupational decisions, not that he wasn’t already reckless to begin with. If you dare him to do something dangerous and he figures there’s any chance he’ll survive, he’s in. He’s all about having fun and making sure everyone else does too. He’s the peace maker of his friend group and will always try to keep things from escalating… Mostly his sister, but who’s counting?
Likes: Musicals, theater, socializing, spicy foods, hugs, physical activity, any type of music, wrestling, drinking, makeup (both doing and having done).
Dislikes: Conflict, being blackout drunk, his mood swings, people treating his friends poorly, feeling trapped.
Fears: Never getting anywhere in life.
Hobbies: Singing, dancing, skateboarding, swimming.
Bio: In the enchanted forest, Flotsam and Jetsam were the best friends and beloved pets of Ursula from a young age. She gave them the best life they could ever ask for, never having to fight for food or worry about a storm destroying their home. In return, they were her eyes and ears. Flotsam was the master of eavesdropping, no one ever suspected he was actually listening in and their pond seemed to be a popular talking spot. His actions were sporadic at best. While he could turn on someone rather easily should they provoke him, he always returned the kind embrace of his long time friend with joy in his heart. They were there for her when the incident happened, providing love and support as her parents drove her down a path she could have been spared from. Perhaps if they had been able to speak, they could have helped her cope, could’ve taken her somewhere better. Perhaps the story could’ve ended much differently.

Now, in the day and age of Storybrooke, the twins remember very little about their early lives. What they do remember is being taken in by Calista’s parents and the easy bond they shared. They grew up together and they would follow her to the ends of the world. When she told them her dreams of opening up a seafood restaurant, they were more than willing to help. Felix had spent highschool focused on theater, taking whatever roles he could get his hands on. No matter how minor, his sister and Calista were always in the front seats cheering him on. When a recruiter had approached him senior year about going to college for it, he simply couldn’t bring himself to agree. He needed his family and they needed him. Part of him regrets never jumping at the chance while the other part knows it never would have worked out. At least, not then.

Name: Jezabel Allyn
Nickname: Jez, Shrimp
Age: 23
Height: 5’9
Gender: Female
Sexuality/Romantic Orientation: Lesbian
Occupation: Head Chef at Calista’s restaurant
Fairy Tale Character: Jetsam

Personality: Jezabel is the protector of this set of twins. She’s strong willed, defensive, and quick to anger. Don’t let her hear that you have a problem with Felix or Calista, she will have words to speak and they won’t be pretty. She makes a habit of being dependable. Her word is good so long as she trusts you, otherwise there’s only a slight possibility she won’t follow through with it. She’s a spitfire in an argument, always looking to get the last word in and to make it hurt. On a more positive note, she’s incredibly caring and will go the distance for you if you’re true to her. She can be a real sweetheart when she wants to be. She’s a bit of a tease, but only in good nature. She’s the more booksmart of the twins and a sort of handyman around their house. She’s the type to take the burdens of others on no matter how much it weighs her down. She can be charismatic in her own sort of way. One minute you’re off doing something else and the next, she’s whisked you off to do something mildly irresponsible but incredibly fun. She makes for quite the businesswoman, nowhere near as good as Cali but still pretty fair. She has very little tolerance for being cheated, so much so that anyone who’s ever tried to make a deal with her only makes that mistake once. She suffers from paranoia though it varies in severity over different lengths of time.
Likes: Nights out, sleepovers, being surrounded by people, white noise, sea creatures, the beach, ghost hunting shows, makeup.
Dislikes: Horror movies, being scared, drinking, not being able to figure something out.
Fears: Letting her family down
Hobbies: Cooking, fixing things, dancing, painting, swimming.

She gave them the best life they could ever ask for, never having to fight for food or worry about a storm destroying their home. In return, they were her eyes and ears. Jetsam was the master of accidents. While her brother listened in on the conversations, she waited for just the right moment to pull their victim into the water. Most never realized the eels were behind the strange bouts of clumsy incidents around their pond. On occasion, they’d snag something important for Ursula or give them a good zap. She tolerated very few people outside of their long term friend and made that well known to anyone brave enough to stick their fingers in her water. They were there for her when the incident happened, providing love and support as her parents drove her down a path she could have been spared from.

Jezebel spent her highschool years on the softball team. Her games were normally during the week or earlier in the day, giving her plenty of time to support both Cali and Felix’s after school activities A shoulder injury in her junior year took her out of the running for a scholarship, though she wasn’t terribly upset over it. She’d taken up cooking not long before that, meaning her newfound freetime wouldn’t go to waste. It certainly helped further down the line once the restaurant idea became a reality.
Faceclaim: Jena Malone
Name: Amaris Denizz
Nickname: Mari
Age: 25
Height: 5’5
Gender: Female
Sexuality/Romantic Orientation: Pansexual/romantic
Occupation: Librarian
Fairy Tale Character: Belle

Personality: Amaris is a very independent woman who often needs to balance her socialization time with alone time. She has a very carefree spirit and, much like Belle, tends to be in a world of her own most of the time. She has an incredibly big heart and loves almost everyone she meets. Keyword almost. When it comes to dealing with less than pleasant individuals, she somehow manages to insult them in the sweetest ways. It almost makes them wonder if what she’s saying is actually a compliment, much to her amusement. She believes in treating others as you wish to be treated, and as a result she tends to be an overall kind person. She can be a bit stubborn and set in her ways. It takes some serious convincing to change her mind once it’s been made. Attempting to tell her what to do will only push her to rebel even further, she hates feeling like she doesn’t get a say. Despite this, she always means well no matter what she decides. She constantly strives to step out of her comfort zone and experience new things. On occasion she can be convinced by friends to go out with a group for a good time, though she’s often too tired to stay out long due to her anemia.
Likes: A good book, comedy, learning new things, exploring old places, travel shows, coffee, taking pictures, thunderstorms.
Dislikes: Being told what to do, sour foods, feeling tired, humidity, beer, her dizzy spouts.
Fears: That life will pass her by before she’s really had the chance to live.
Hobbies: Reading, drafting blueprints for her father, enjoying nature, teaching kids how to read, dressmaking.
Bio: Belle had been battling a strange disease for most of her young adult life. She was prone to fainting spells, often looked pale and ill, and never felt quite right. Her father worried for her, understandably so, and rarely left her alone. He took her to doctor after doctor, though none seemed to have any answers for her. The two traveled quite a bit together, especially to fairs in other kingdoms so they could show off his inventions. Normally, he wouldn’t go unless he could fit both of them in the wagon along with whatever they were bringing to show. She hated the opportunities he missed because of how limiting her condition was.

He almost missed one of the biggest shows he’d ever been offered a spot in, but she simply wouldn’t allow it. She promised to stay strictly inside, to have their neighbor check in on her, even to let Gaston of all people know she was feeling alright. Such a drastic threat must have been enough to convince him, because early the next morning he was off to a distant kingdom with his latest genius in tow. For the first few days, she managed to keep those promises. She stayed inside and re-read her favorite book at least twice, stopping by the pub in the evening to let the ever obsessive hunter know she was doing well before going back home for the night. On her way to the pub on the fourth night, she was approached by a stranger. Strangers weren’t common in a town their size, meaning he was an outsider. He claimed to be a doctor, one who’d caught wind of their efforts to cure her disease and found the story to be interesting. After a quick examination, he concluded as much as any other doctor had: He had no way of knowing what she had or how to treat it. Much to her delight, however, he mentioned a strange noble of sorts who might be able to help. The journey was long and she needed to leave immediately if she were to make it before the winter storms made travel impossible.

She threw together a saddlebag filled with everything she’d need and her warmest clothes, preparing their horse Philip for the long trek ahead of them. By now Gaston had come to see what was keeping her and was outraged she would even consider going with a stranger into uncharted territory alone. He knew better than to try and talk her out of the idea, she’d been searching for this chance her whole life. Instead, he and Lefou gathered their horses to tag along. The doctor saw little problem with taking a bigger party and the group left their small town with nothing more than torches to light their way. Surprisingly, Belle handled the ride well. She fainted only once before they reached the frozen lake, the last of their real obstacles, and she’d been able to slump herself forward just in time to keep from falling. Crossing the water’s icy surface hadn’t been any problem at all, but the pack of wolves waiting on the other side certainly were. The animals managed to split her off from the three men, leaving her to fend for herself. She urged Philip forward, using her torch to scare their way through the wolves’ ever tightening circle. In a last ditch effort to shoo them away, she tossed her flame in their direction and had Philip take off as fast as he could. The distance they gained wasn’t much, though that would prove to be the least of her worries. All the excitement had made her dizzy and the threat of a fainting spell had her falling from the horse into a snow pile covering a fallen tree. She hadn’t expected to wake up, least of all in an unfamiliar bed beside a warm fire. While the rest of her party never turned up at the castle, Belle had been successful in finding the one man who might be able to help her. Count Dracula.

In Storybrooke, Amaris’s problems are at least a little more bearable. She doesn’t live far from her father and stops in frequently to check up with him. As far as she knows, they’ve always lived there. Her mother passed giving birth to her and her father had done everything he could to raise her well. While she’s suffered from Anemia for as long as she can remember, she tries her hardest to live a full life.
Faceclaim: Elizabeth Gillies
Name: Elias Soho
Nickname: Eli
Age: 30
Height: 5’10
Gender: Male
Sexuality/Romantic Orientation: Pansexual/romantic
Occupation: Judge
Fairy Tale Character: Rumplestiltskin

Personality: Elias is your typical workaholic. He stays up into all hours of the night looking over case details multiple times to make sure he hasn’t missed anything. He’s a very detail oriented guy, he needs to be in his line of work. The slightest detail can make or break a case and if anyone needs to catch it, it’s him. He’s bound to step on toes no matter his intentions and he knows that. He earned his place in power though, he won’t be scared off because someone gets sour about a decision. That being said, the nature of his work has given him a better appreciation for the little things in life. Most would call him clever, he knows his way around the law and how to bend it when the punishment seems too harsh for the circumstances. He enjoys rooting for the little guys and seeing them succeed, even if it takes a bit of influencing. While he carries himself with a certain level of seriousness, he’s rather pleasant once you get to know him. He spends plenty of time doing charity work and hosts a weekly trash pickup around town. He’s quite the romantic despite always being so busy. He’s well organized and has the memory of an elephant.
Likes: Long walks through nature, helping others, journaling, a good puzzle, delicious food, parties, a warm bath, stargazing, a drink after a long day.
Dislikes: Thinking about past cases, having to sleep when there’s still work to be done, being looked down on.
Fears: He’ll make the wrong call on a sentencing.
Hobbies: Jigsaw/Crossword puzzles, cooking, playing piano.
Bio: Many who’ve ever heard of Rumplestiltskin’s deals would think him a heartless con artist, though the truth couldn’t be any further from that. He was a businessman, to be sure, using his magic to help those in need for a mostly fair price. For quite a while he held a perfect reputation, though that all changed when he decided to help a miller’s daughter. She didn’t have much, understandably so, but the magic and time required to change something like straw into gold were premium services he should have charged much more for. When she had nothing left to give the third night, he agreed to help her at the cost of her firstborn. The woman had agreed and even went on to become queen. With her newfound power, the now queen tried to change their deal. He didn’t need any of the things she offered, rather he was hoping to raise the promised child as a sort of assistant to his work. He gave her three days to guess his name, the only rule being that she had to figure it out all by herself. She broke that single rule, having him followed by one of the castle’s guards. They overheard his name during a different deal. Drunk from her victory, the queen twisted the story to make him into a villain. She spread her lies far and wide, unknowingly bringing him much more sinister work.

Years beyond this incident, Rumplestiltskin had a daughter of his own and a growing business making deals with less than savory people. He kept his home and work life as separate as he could, speaking little of his hidden home and never mentioning his young daughter. He’d made plenty of enemies by working for one side over the other in many situations, but that had never been a problem. Usually he could assure an angry sorcerer or king that he simply serviced the first person to come to him. The anger would subside and that would be the end of the consequences. Much to his surprise, the sour deal of years prior would be the thing to cause him the most trouble. In the time since he’d left that kingdom, the Queen’s first born had died of disease. She blamed him for the boy’s death, claiming she summoned him by name to help and he chose not to come. In reality, he’d never heard her calls and only heard of the death months after it happened. He thought little of it, even sent a letter expressing his condolences, but it only angered the Queen further. She hired an enchantress to find what he cared for most and take it from him. The woman spotted him picking berries with his daughter, taking this vulnerable moment to curse the child. Rumplestiltskin would never be able to hold his daughter again, getting within a couple feet of her would cause her pain. Touching her would kill her. This broke his heart and started him down a path of anger and revenge. His sweet little girl deserved a better life, he realized, one where she didn’t have to worry about protecting herself from her own father. And so, he sent her to live in the one realm he had few dealings in and where very few of his enemies would dare venture to: Wonderland. She would be safe there while he endlessly searched for a way to break their curse.
Faceclaim: Remy Hii
Name: Zarina Loni
Nickname: Zari
Age: 27
Height: 5'9
Gender: Female
Sexuality/Romantic Orientation: Pansexual/romantic
Occupation: Land lord
Fairy Tale Character: Scar

Personality: Zari is, simply put, horrible at admitting when she's wrong. It's to the point that, depending on how serious she is about the matter, she'll risk a friendship over it. She does want to do good deep down, she's just not quite sure how to go about it and she sure as hell isn't about to ask for help. She can be sweet, especially if you've proven yourself loyal to her. She enjoys taking care of those who have stood beside her, even if it's just the small things here or there. Anyone else, not so much. She does have good moments though, even if that's rarely her intent. She's always looking for the most profitable way to go about things, whether it comes to money or attention. While her motives always come first, she's a (mostly) fair and reasonable gal. She's outgoing and can be very charming in her own way. She's sarcastic and most of the time a little too honest. She's willing to play dirty to get what she wants, at least in most cases. She's good at masking what she's really like if it serves her interests, especially when it comes to business. She's what you might consider a bit of a fixer upper.
Likes: Winning, being right, chocolate, reading, sleeping, wine.
Dislikes: Losing, being wrong, sour foods, the color yellow.
Fears: That one day his ways will leave him all alone.
Hobbies: Chess, reading, brooding alone with his thoughts.
Bio: Scar, as we know her, was not as black and white as one might think. Her brother had been raised surrounded by those who'd need to teach him how to be king, the center of attention while she was mostly ignored. That part remained true and sparked a deep seeded resentment that grew with Scar. Determined to be more than the decorative second child, she'd tired her paw at being a hunter. Sadly, she wasn't much better in that department. She had a strategical mind, something that went overlooked due to her being the weakest and "most privileged" of the pack. Her resentment continued to grow beyond her familial ties, including their whole kingdom. So she chose to distance herself, finding a new home with the hyenas. At first she was content. They treated her as a queen of sorts and she brought order to their chaotic lifestyle. Still, no matter how hard she tried, they never thrived the way her brother had. They were living off scraps and it wasn't fair. So, Scar decided it was time to visit Pride Rock once again. She was clever with her motives, waiting many weeks before she proposed the idea of merging their "kingdoms" to her brother. They'd both rule their respective lands and share resources. She was surprised when Mufasa almost immediately denied her and had the audacity to speak of her subjects as if they were rats. Filthy and unreliable. She bit back her rage and returned home, contemplating her next move carefully. Waiting and pandering to her nephew would take far too long and had a high chance of failure given his influences. So, she took the initiative and took Mufasa out of the picture. Surprisingly it pained her, having to do that to her brother. And even worse, her nephew had been witness to what she'd done. She hadn't planned for that and, in a dire need to save her skin, she convinced the only thing left of her brother that this had been his fault. Simba ran off and Scar became queen. For a few years, things were fine. Good even. But power could do unpleasant things to people, and soon her subjects came to resent her.

In Storybrooke, Zari is the landlord for quite a few of the buildings. Including Sasha's boutique. However, she sees more profitable avenues the building could take. The only trouble? Sasha has been the perfect tennant. She now plots ways to get her out of the building, whether that be by driving her out of having her kicked out. She just has to walk a fine line in doing so.
Faceclaim: Tati Gabrielle
Name: Sora Anthea
Nickname: Bug (by her mother)
Age: 24
Height: 5'5
Gender: Female
Sexuality/Romantic Orientation: Lesbian
Occupation: Mail Person
Fairy Tale Character: Rapunzel

Personality: Sora is an optimistic young lady whose curiosity consumes her at times. There's just so much to know, why would anyone ever stop asking? The more she knows, the better prepared she can be. Some might call her paranoid, she calls herself ready for anything. Her creativity certainly doesn't help that, she's come up with hundreds of fake scenarios (some more ridiculous than others) and multiple ways to deal with them. She's typically thinking of a dozen things at once while carrying on a conversation like it's nothing, though she will give you her full attention if you ask it of her. To her, there's nowhere near enough time in the day for everything she hopes to get done. If she's not moving, she's definitely thinking about things that need to be done later. Would she rather lose sleep than leave a task half finished? Absolutely. That's why caffeine is her best friend. That and adrenaline. She loves the rush that comes with doing something new and maybe a little risky. She's always willing to give and rarely willing to take, mostly because she hates to let people down. Her safety is always the last thing in mind when someone needs help. She'd rather take a chance at making a good friend than worry about getting hurt in the process. If you need a smile, she's your gal.
Likes: Coffee, exploration, How-To shows, birds, bubbly drinks, being silly, knight armor (it just looks so cool), high places, bubbles, purple, honey, snow
Dislikes: Medicine, water above her head, crying around others, soap operas
Fears: Drowning, dying unhappy
Hobbies: Survival games, camping, painting
Bio: Rapunzel had always tried to be the perfect daughter, always listened to her mother despite the freedom her heart longed for and never once complained when she used her hair's healing powers. She sated her desires through art, painting every available wall in her tower. Some had even been painted over multiple times. As she grew, her subject matter changed. Eventually, she found herself transfixed by the floating lights. Dozens of compositions for the perfect mural of them would float through her mind, filling her dreams at times. A few of these visions found their way onto her walls. With each attempt, she grew closer to the perfect vision... But each one always lacked something. She couldn't quite put her finger on it. She'd convinced herself that to figure out what she lacked, she'd need to see them up close. If she could just see them once, her mural would have all that it needed and she would be content. Of course, her mother would never have allowed that. Soon she began to ask questions. Scary questions. Did anyone else know she existed at all? Would she die having left no trace on this world? That thought brought her the most dread. She wanted to share her art, share the thing that brought her life. That's when the idea hit her; If she could paint her perfect mural for the King and Queen, everyone would remember her. She'd never be forgotten. It was a sound plan in theory, but Mother Gothel had instilled a very real fear of the outside world in her. Even if she worked up the courage to leave, she wouldn't make it alone. Even with Pascal.

One day, as if sent to help her on this quest specifically, Flynn Rider found her way into Rapunzel's tower. Despite her reluctance, Rapunzel talked her way into Flynn's company. She'd take her to see the lights and point her in the direction of the castle to propose her grand idea, then they'd depart. It was supposed to be simple, nothing more than an easy job to get her bag back. Somewhere along the way, their hearts decided the plan had changed. Despite a tense start, the two grew close quickly. Even with Mother Gothel's attempt to sabotage the first new and good thing in her life, love won the day for them. Her tears saved Flynn from an early grave and she took her rightful place as the lost princess. Even when she left to pursue a new life stealing for the less fortunate, Rapunzel's heart stayed with the devilish rogue who had stole it away in the first place. She understood the good that could come of her love's new mission and even opted to pass along what secrets she could dig up with her newfound status.

In Storybrooke, Sora is still very much encumbered by her mother's need for her. With her mother having a permanent limp that barely holds for her to stand, there's not much she can do without help. Sora finds it difficult to have a life of her own when she could need her at any moment. It had been just the two of them for so long, how could she bear to abandon the woman who'd always been there for her? Would she be able to rest wondering how she was getting along alone? Despite the difficulties in her daily life, her mother urges Sora to get out every chance she can so long as she stays safe. If only that helped to soothe her conscience.

Name: Dorian Ingram
Nickname: Dori
Age: 26
Height: 6'4
Gender: Male
Sexuality/Romantic Orientation: Pansexual/romantic
Occupation: Park Ranger
Fairy Tale Character: Frog Prince

Personality: Dorian lives by the term 'variety is the spice of life'. He loves doing new things, meeting new people, finding new places. Anything difference or interesting, he's immediately interested. He dreads feeling stagnant for too long, so his schedule is constantly changing. Because of this, he's known to be a tiny bit forgetful with plans made far in advance. He's more of a 'go with the flow' type. If he has a handful of things that need to get done, the order of said things is highly irrelevant unless it's work. He's a totally different guy on duty; He does everything by the book and makes sure things are done right. Safety is the one thing he's not willing to treat lightly. Otherwise, he's incredibly relaxed and usually down for just about anything. He's very secure in himself and always down to wear a dress if the occasion calls for it. He gets attatched to people very easily. His charisma often gets him in trouble, but it also makes him easy to get along with. Love him or hate him, he's very honest about who he is and how he feels at any given moment. He's a big believer in following your heart over what others are telling you and he definitely encourages others to do the same. Why sacrifice your happiness for approval? In his eyes, that's a fate worse than death.
Likes: Being outdoors, vintage movies, big crowds, drinking, a good atmosphere, rainy days, getting lost in loud music.

Fears: Getting old.
Hobbies: Hanging out in cafes, playing guitar, dancing, fencing.
Bio: The prince had largely been left to his own devices before the curse fell upon him. He enjoyed traveling, seeing what other countries had to offer and what his potential allies (and enemies) were like. He knew he'd have to return home eventually to take up the throne, but he loved the attention he got on his travels. People were interested in him, no matter how selfish their reasons. He wasn't foolish enough to believe they saw anything other than a crown, but it hardly mattered. It allowed him to share his love of music and love of culture. Sadly, duty called much sooner than he'd hoped. His father had passed strangely, rushing him to the throne. When he returned home for his coronation, a fairy ambushed him on his way back to the castle. He was turned into a frog and left to live a four legged life because of the wrongs his father had supposedly committed against her. He had very little hope that anyone would understand him given his current state, but he tried regardless. He hopped back to the castle where people had started to grow worried about his absence. Quite a few of the royals he'd visited with showed up to see this monumental occasion, meaning there were plenty of people around for him to try and get aid from. He went largely ignored by those who visited the garden. He'd all but given up hope when he finally caught someone's attention; A princess from a neighboring kingdom. She wasn't exactly pleasant, but he sucked it up. He helped retrieve a dropped trinket from the fountain and spent days befriending her. At first, she didn't believe he was actually the prince. It took sharing some trade secrets about their castle's secret passages to convince her of his identity, at which point she was more than glad to help him. One kiss and he was free, much to his relief. While he didn't marry the princess, she seemed more than happy being set up with his younger brother.

In Storybrooke, Dorian's childhood wasn't much different. His parents, usually too tired from work, left him to raise himself for the most part. He found solace in people and nature. He wasn't always the best behaved, but he stayed out of trouble enough for his parents not to worry. In adulthood, he decided that ignoring his problems would be better than having to address things with his family. While they do talk once a week or so, they aren't close by any means. He spends most of his time out with friends or at work, living day by day for as long as he can.

nerissa acosta

# ariel

# isabellrrose

♡coded by uxie♡

name: nerissa perla acosta
nickname: neri, eris, rissa, riss, open to more
age: twenty years old
gender: female
sexuality/romantic orientation: pansexual, panromantic
occupation: works at the golden hour boutique shop
fairy tale character: ariel from the little mermaid

personality: bright, stubborn, impulsive, passionate, selfless, naïve, warm, curious, daring, optimistic, honest, rebellious

nerissa has always had a taste for adventure due to her naturally curious mind and despite her circumstances. she has a fire in her soul. she is driven by passion and is not afraid to take risks in life, which can both get her into a bit of trouble. she is very expressive. it’s not hard to figure out how she is feeling as she often wears her heart on her sleeve. that said, she is not afraid to show her compassion and empathy towards others. she’s always willing to lend a helping hand and to comfort those in need. the flame in her is warm and bright, and it is hard to ignore or deny.

it is no surprise that nerissa tends to be an impulsive individual. she is forever acting on her passions without completely thinking things through. she is impossibly stubborn so even if someone were to try to interfere with this, her decision is unlikely to change. once she has her mind set on something—good luck. she’s kind of a little rebel in the making.

though she can be clever, nerissa is rather naïve. as she never quite thinks anything through, she is the perfect victim to play a trick on. she is too willing to trust others and often looks for the good in people—even when there is none. due to her kind nature, she is also often taken advantage of and she never seems to learn from those experiences either.

ultimately, nerissa is a sweet young lady who is searching for something a little more than the cards she has been dealt in life.

storybrooke backstory: nerissa was the youngest of her seven sisters. her mother died not long after her birth due to a boating accident just off the town's harbor. thus, she was raised by her single father with the assistants of her elder sisters. while her household had plenty of love to go around, nerissa was bound by many rules for her "protection" as a child. she was kept in this metaphorical box of naivety that kept her from truly experiencing the world. while she knew her family's actions were out of love and concern, nerissa always had this sense of longing and loneliness as a child. but, of course, she would eventually begin to rebel against the household rules.

at the age of fourteen years, nerissa attempted to sneak out of the second-story window of her bedroom after dark. In this attempt, she slipped and plummeted to the ground, damaging her spinal cord. a couple of her sisters had luckily heard her cry when she had fallen and were quick to find her. she was then rushed to the hospital. as a result of her accident, she experienced paralysis in both of her legs. while she eventually regained the strength of her left leg after several months, she never quite regained it in her right, leaving her with the diagnosis of paraparesis.

now, though she has been limited in the working field due to her disability, she is currently working at a boutique shop owned by one of her elder sisters in storybrooke.
rhys blackwell

# the giant

# gavin leatherwood

♡coded by uxie♡

name: rhys euryton blackwell
nickname: none, open to some
age: twenty-four years old
gender: male
sexuality/romantic orientation: demisexual, demiromantic
occupation: currently working as a nurse who aspires to be a heart surgeon
fairy tale character: the giant from the giant who had no heart in his body

personality: independent, intelligent, attentive, determined, strategic, curious, moody, observant, dense, distant, perfectionist, insensitive sometimes, complex, skeptical, cold

even in this newly spun tale, rhys is a bit of an outcast. he's a rather private individual with little interest in entangling himself in close relationships with others. trust does not come easily to a man like rhys and, thus, it is easier for him to not take the risk that comes with building bonds for his own sanity. of course, it is no surprise that many find him to be cold and unfriendly on the surface. he does not perform well in social settings as he struggles to express himself efficiently. as one could imagine, this can be quite frustrating to a perfectionist like himself.

in contrast to his enchanted forest self, rhys is a bit more strategic and intelligent. he is very curious about the world around him and has an eye for observation. he is not so easily fooled. his movements, whether those be mental or physical, are methodical.

rhys is not all broody and dark either. underneath all that dark mystery, he actually has a heart. he is not beyond showing compassion towards others nor is he completely averse to the idea of building relationships. in fact, though he would have a hard time admitting it, he almost longs to just feel something and to have a connection worth everything.

storybrooke backstory: rhys was abandoned only days after his birth. his unknown biological mother had left him wrapped in a blanket and on the steps of an older woman's porch. fortunately, the lonely woman, ingrid blackwell, decided to claim him as her own. his adoptive mother had a reputation for being odd. she was a recluse, rarely ever leaving her rundown mansion of a house on the edge of town. when he was a child, her only living relative, and nephew, took care of her. he was the one who brought their basic needs. however, when rhys got a little older, she began asking him to take on the responsibilities of her nephew.

instead of attending a public or private school, rhys was homeschooled. he had very few friends growing up due to this, so he spent most of his time engrossed in his studies or with his nose in a book. much like his mother, he remained relatively isolated from the rest of the town.

at the age of eighteen, ingrid died of illness, leaving her assets behind for him to inherit. after her death, rhys decided to pursue a career in the medical field. he currently has a job as a nurse at the local hospital, though he is hoping to eventually become a heart surgeon.

enchanted forest background: the giant had lived in a secluded castle at the top of a steep hillside for as long as he could remember. the only company he had were those who were unfortunate enough to stumble across his residence--most of them did not live to tell the tale. (wip)
alizeh kaya

# scheherazade

# aylin elma

♡coded by uxie♡

name: alizeh emira kaya
nickname: none, open to some
age: twenty-two years old
gender: female
sexuality/romantic orientation: demisexual, heteroromantic
occupation: tbd
fairy tale character: scheherazade from one thousand and one nights

personality: incredibly clever, witty, sacrificial, protective, courageous, playful (with certain people), independent, wise, empathetic, distrustful, deceptive, complicated, sarcastic, seemingly cold at times

though alizeh might have an innocent and ethereal essence around her, she has a fire in her. don’t get me wrong—she is a perfectly polite individual to most people. in fact, she is often described to be a rather charming woman. she seems to just be able to glide into a room with confidence and purpose and is quite the inquisitive young lady. not only that but she seems to know just what to say to those seeking advice and is willing to lend a hand to those in need. however, she is not someone that is easily pushed around nor is she someone who is easily influenced by others. in other words, alizeh is truly a resilient individual. she is not afraid to take risks and is fiercely protective of those she cares about to a point she can be reckless at times. she is someone who feels deeply about things and is passionate about her interests or beliefs. that said, this might go relatively unnoticed by those who do not know her well due to her introverted nature and the fact that she tends to put others’ needs above her own.

one of alizeh’s greatest assets is her mind. she is an incredibly clever individual. she is good at enduring and effectively adapting to a variety of different environments. she is not only a quick thinker but also a creative one. she is good at spinning different things in life to her benefit though it sometimes means utilizing deception or withholding information. moreover, alizeh is a witty character. she enjoys engaging in banter from time to time, especially with those who are equally as witty as her.

though she certainly has some fire, she also has a little bit of ice. alizeh does not trust others very easily. thus, she only ever has a few people in her life that know her well. some people might even describe her to act very hot and cold with them. just when she seems to be warming up to them, she starts pushing them away. regardless, alizeh’s intentions are usually good.
