StrawberryDreamer

Spoiler: Erik

CS

Name: Erik Mikhailov

Age: 16

Year: 5

House: Stratus

Nationality: Russian

Status: Son of the leader of the Solntsevskaya Bratva.

Personality: Being raises by a Russian Mafia boss, Erik is often just as cold as you’d expect. Often times his face is void of emotion. He’s analytical and blunt. He refuses to get close with anyone, thus leaving the other students of rosewood to make only the worst assumptions. He can count the “friends” he’s had on one hand.

Despite his thick outer shell, the inside can really glow bright. If someone were to finally break that barrier, they’d see a bright young man with a great sense of humor. Like he’d ever let that happen, he’ll duct tape any cracks in the surface if he had to.

Biography: Erik was always seen as too soft by his father. Since the moment he was born, he was weak, far too weak to be an heir. As he grew it was clear that this wasn’t just a temporary innocence. With the birth of his younger brother, his father could see this second boy was the exact opposite. He resented Erik for being born first. In an attempt to make him more like that perfect boy, his father would beat him anytime he made a mistake. Though it appeared to work, Erik just learned to play the part.

It soon became apparent to Erik that he wasn’t made for this. He had to get out. Fortunately at eleven, Erik found his out: Rosewood Hall. It didn’t take much convincing for his father to send him away. Imagine what he could do with all the time he wasn’t spending beating his idiot son? Moving thousands of miles away was a small price to pay for Erik.

Despite his newfound freedom, the damage was done. He still looked and acted like a douchebag, but at least this way, no one could hurt him. After a couple years, he decided there was no point in going home for the summer. During summer, he attended classes in rosewood’s Japanese sister school, Takeshin Gakuin. It wasn’t often that students willingly took extra classes, but no one in their right mind was going to stop him.

Though it’s been a couple years since he’s been home, and the bruises have faded, light scars still remain that remind him of home. Though it isn’t his home anymore, he’ll never really be free of it.

Spoiler: Isabella

CS

Name: Isabella de Todos los Santos de Borbón y Ortiz

Age: 15

Year: 5

House: Conch

Nationality: Spanish

Status: Princess, second in line to the throne

Personality: Isabella is often soft spoken, she tries not to lay a finger out of place or say a word that would be better left unspoken. She exists only to make the monarchy look good. As a princess, she must act the part. Relaxing isn’t really her style, she’s busy with at least one thing at a time.

Though she may seem uptight, when she’s alone, sometimes she’ll try to enjoy herself. Though it may be hard for her to let go, sometimes she’ll find nice moments to calm down and have some fun. It’s a rare occurrence, but a nice one. These moments don’t last long as Isabella soon realizes her responsibilities once again.

Biography: From a young age, Isabella was trained to be the perfect princess. Of course she was never as treasured as her darling older sister, Victoria, but she was still expected to uphold the kingdom. She got used to this pressure as she aged and just assumed it was normal. When she started Rosewood she discovered it was not normal. So many of these kids got away with doing almost anything. It surely was a strange environment, but she wasn’t going to waver. She’d still be a great representation for her kingdom.

Other: I’m the best

Spoiler: Astrid

Name: Astrid Pettersson

Age: 16

Year: 5

House: Conch

Nationality: Swedish

Status: Partizan- an assassin trained since birth to protect one person for the rest of their lives

Personality: Astrid has always been pretty stoic and straight to the point. She’s never questioned her purpose and doesn’t expect anyone else to. She’s ready to do whatever it takes to protect her princess. Although she seems to have no feelings, she’s no less than forgiving. She’s willing to hear out what others have to say and take that into account before making a choice. Ultimately though, she is instinctual and in a life or death situation she will fight.

Astrid is rather loud, though observant, sometimes other people get drowned out by her voice. She’s quite the leader and expects others to follow the decisions she makes. If someone doesn’t listen to her orders, she takes it as a personal offense. Unless it’s her princess. There’s nothing she wouldn’t do for Isabella.

Biography: Astrid was born in Sweden and spent most of her young childhood there. She showed mastery of self defense at a young age and was quickly entered into Europe’s Partizan Program. As her skills improved, she was quickly noticed by nobles from several countries, but Spain took a special interest in her. As she was close in age with their second daughter, she was quickly assigned to her. They weren’t exactly the best match at first, but now they’re practically inseparable. Having your life dedicated to someone else from such a young age is difficult to get used to, but now Astrid doesn’t know what else she could possibly do with her time. As they grew closer, their relationship grew deeper. Though relationships between partizans and their nobles are strictly forbidden throughout most of Europe, they’ve found this hasn’t come between them. Though romance may stay a secret, Astrid will never keep her dedication to Isabella a secret.

Spoiler: Xavier

CS

Name: Xavier Lewis

Age: 15

Year: 5

House: Ivy

Nationality: British

Status: Singer having a “rebel phase.” His band “The Stars Above” is semi popular with teens

Personality: Xavier is never afraid to stand out. He’s always been pretty loud, but now he’s letting his exterior match the interior, much to his manager’s dismay. He always says what’s on his mind, even if it isn’t so nice. He tries to care about others feelings but sometimes the words just come out. He sees no point in feeling bad about it, what’s done is done. He tries not to think to much about the past. Life is about moving forward.

Xavier often finds comfort in the quiet things. Though he enjoys being loud, the most tender moments are found during a smoke in the cold or the common room at 2 am. These moments give him a much needed break as his life is filled with chaos. He’s too proud to admit that sometimes he needs a break from the star life.

Biography: Xavier always loved music. Even as an infant it seemed to be the only thing that could calm him down. During his childhood, his parents tried to get him to play instruments but none of them ever interested him. He only connected with lyrics and his voice. Though they didn’t see much potential in that route, his current record company saw him differently. He had the kind of boy band voice they were looking for. After recording their first album, the band immediately went on tour. About half way through Xavier began playing with his image. He wanted to see himself as a person and not as some guy on a stage. He started to make himself look like a person he could recognize instead of a different flavor of four other guys. By the time the tour ended, his label was less than pleased. As punishment he’s being forced to take a break and attend Rosewood for a semester.

Spoiler: Keith

CS

Name: Keith Wilson

Age: 16

Year: 5

House: Ivy

Nationality: British

Status: Son of the South Korean ambassador to the UK

Personality: Keith actually does not give one singular shit. Staff at Rosewood really hate him for this. He doesn’t follow their rules and refuses to do anything their way. Regardless of his less than stellar reputation, he’s really nice. No, really. Just not to members of authority. Maybe that’s why his file in the office paints him like the actual antichrist. He doesn’t take it personally, he knows he’s a prick.

For the most part, the other students seem to like Keith. Maybe they are just being nice, but Keith likes to think all people act the way they feel just like he does. He’s very honest with everyone except himself. He doesn’t like to admit that he has a problem, rather it be his drug use or eating disorder. He acts like he has it all under control. He doesn’t.

Keith really does care what people think about him. He wants the staff to think he’s a force to be reckoned with, while he wants the other students to think he’s a good person. These can often conflict. Sometimes the staff will catch him being sweet to another student, or a student will catch him physically fighting staff. He tries to manage this as easily as possible, but it’s hard. He really wants people to like him, but the staff fucks that up frequently.

Biography: Keith grew up in one of the nicest neighborhoods in London. However to afford this his parents worked nonstop, his father busy representing his country while his mother did anything but take care of her kids, leaving Keith neglected. He never really got attention as a kid from anyone except his older sister, whose bad choices rubbed off on him, leaving him to start drinking at age 11 and smoking weed at 12. Not like his parents noticed, they were busy. In his time at Rosewood his drug addiction escalated into acid and cocaine.

The only way Keith could impress his parents was through school work. This lead him to be the top of his grade throughout primary school. Although he caused trouble, he kept up the work for the ultimate cocktail of attention. His parents finally decided they needed to curb his delinquency and sent him to boarding school at age 12. He got into Rosewood on his first try, but still despised the place. Just because he was qualified to be there didn’t mean he wanted to.

Throughout the past three years, he’s tried his hardest to get kicked out of Rosewood. It never works. The staff has been trying extra hard to fix him for his parents sake. If he hadn’t been sent here for behavioral problems specifically, it would be different, but now he had dug his own grave and he needed to lie in it.

Spoiler: Chloé

CS

Name: Chloé Virtanen

Age: 15

Year: 5

House: Stratus

Nationality: South African

Status: Here on scholarship

Personality: Chloé has always stuck to the books. She remains precise and thoughtful through every interaction. She may seem blunt but it’s just her analytical nature. She finds the world always has something to decipher and usually spends her time taking in her surroundings and normally doesn’t miss a single detail. She’s very diligent and often does more than what’s asked of her. Her mind is often racing with 50 different ideas at once. She’s trained herself to use this to her advantage, making her proficient at multitasking.

When it comes to others, Chloé tries to understand them, but often falls short. She’s never felt a lot of the feelings others have expressed around her. She’s especially confused about emotions relating to love. She’s never been in love, much less even had a simple schoolyard crush. Part of her feels left out, but often she remembers it doesn’t really matter. There’s far more important things than boys and feelings.
Biography: Chloé was born to two researchers working in South Africa. Though not poor, sending her to private school was seemingly not in the cards. While her parents worked, Chloé was often tucked in a baby carrier with them. She spent most of her childhood with them or at school. The desire to emulate her parents was strong like it is with most children. She stayed on top of school work and often talked to her parents about their own studies. She didn’t really expect to gain anything from her smarts, but her parents had decided to apply to a few scholarship programs for her. Soon they got a letter back from rosewood and she was ecstatic. Though Britain was so different from South Africa, she was ready to have a new place to study.

Spoiler: Nola

CS

Name: Bianca “Nola” Kent

Age: 15

Year: 5

House: Ivy

Nationality: American

Status: Old money family from Maine

Personality: Nola is often seen as strange by her peers. She’s always been the target of bullying, but tries not to take it to heart. She’s just... different, that’s all. Most of the preppy students at rosewood don’t get it. It’s a shame, she’s one of the most loyal friends a person could have. She’ll watch your back forever if you let her. She sticks with people through thick and thin. Unfortunately, this makes it very easy for people to use her. Even if a friend were to stab her in the back she’d forgive them with even the most half assed apology.

Nola isn’t afraid to voice her opinions either. She’s loud in both her voice and her self expression. Everything she does is at full volume. She’d never do something at 50%. She’s bold and not afraid to show off. She rarely feels embarrassed for anything she does, even if it is less than flattering. Overall she’s sweet and carefree, but will stand up for her friends over anything else.

Biography: Nola was born as Bianca Kent to a very wealthy American family. She grew up on the east coast, playing and often getting hurt by the sea. This helped her develop her thick skin. She grew up doing ballet and feeling the pressure of her family name. Everyone wanted her to be the best at everything: grades, dance, socializing, the list went on. She often found comfort in the strange and dark. She preferred spiders and bones as oppose to her ballet shoes and tutus. To try to reform her, her parents sent Bianca to Rosewood. However this gave her the perfect opportunity to reinvent herself. She changed her name to Nola and dyed her hair black. No one expected anything from weird girl Nola Kent. It was a common last name, she could be anyone. Even though she was tormented, she was glad to be weird girl Nola Kent.

PinkChiffon

Spoiler: Eleonora

Name: Eleonora St.Vincent

Age: 16

Year: 5

House: Stratus

Nationality: Italian

Status: The St.Vincent's are the definition of old money, and Eleonora is the heir to their fashion empire. Eleonora's great-great-grandfather was an esteemed tailor who turned his small business into the fashion empire it's known as today.

Personality: Eleonora is one of the most self-assured people you'd ever meet. It's easy to be confident in what you do and what you want in life when it has been laid out for you since birth. She carries herself as if she has never had a care in the world because for the most part, she doesn't. Externally, she's very outgoing and charming. Walking around with her is like walking around with someone who is running for office. It seems like she always knows someone when she's out and about. She strikes up conversations with complete strangers like they're old friends, she tries very hard to never forget a face. She knows how to project a very positive public image of herself. Once she's to herself or with a trusted few, she seldom starts the conversation and prefers to let those around her do the talking. This makes her seem withdrawn and uninterested in others. Eleonora is not without her faults. She's very particular about her self image and is very open about her vanity. She can be critical of others when she feels like they are not matching her energy. Her mother always taught her to act with poise and grace, so she does make an attempt to knock these behaviors off, but she has a long way to go. Eleonora has a nasty habit of manipulating those around her for various reasons. She likes knowing she has people in her good graces should she ever need to call on them for a favor.

Biography: Eleonora's upbringing was the picture of privilege. She is the only child of Simon and Celest St.Vincent, heiress to the fashion brand that she shares her surname with. Despite her parent's very busy lives, they always doted on their daughter and made sure she had the absolute best of everything. They wanted to make sure their daughter was going to be well rounded and ready to take on the business once she came of age. Her early years were spent being 'homeschool' with an intense curriculum that focused on language and culture. They called it homeschooling, but it was almost never at home. Her tutoring was done as the family traveled for business, always wanting to keep Eleonora with them. Eleonora flourished in this sort of environment. The opportunities to meet so many people and try so many things so young were incredibly advantageous and what probably gave Eleonora her well developed social skills. Once she became of age, her parents knew right away that they wanted her to attend Rosewood. It was exactly the right place for someone like her, and they were confident that it would give her the tools to succeed in her higher education.

Spoiler: Schuyler

Name: Schuyler Snow

Age: 15

Year: 5

House: Ivy

Nationality: French

Status: Dad was a world class archaeologist and treasure hunter, Grandparents are rich socialites

Personality: Schuyler is a friendly person that comes off as natural and friendly. She is abit brainy and enjoys solving riddles and puzzles. She's good at making friends and being supportive towards others although she tends to dwell on her own problems rather than sharing them with others. She comes off as sociable and quirky, often getting absorbed in situations and forgetting to listen to other's warnings.

Biography: Schuyler's father was a world renowned Archaeologist and Secret Treasure Hunter. She grew up in their mansion often being taught music, history and archaeology by her father throughout her childhood. Her father and Schuyler had a good relationship. He would often go on expedition trips across the world, making sure Schuyler would learn as much as possible while he was away. She would be left alone in the mansion, although Schuyler had been more mature at a younger age and smart enough to take care of herself. Her father's lessons would often go what would be normal expectations for a child in terms of knowledge however she was quick to master them.

Her father eventually however died on a trip to the Bahamas, leaving Schuyler to be raised with her grandparents, who happened to rich socialites within the high class society of France.
They raised her with care, making sure to get her to behave enough to survive in her newfound upper society world and would go to lengths to educate her about fashion and manners.

Rosalie

Spoiler: Cosmo

Name: Cosmo Jones
Age: 15
Year: 5
House: Ivy
Nationality: American
Status: Child of two very successful NASA engineers
Personality: Unlike his parents, who can talk their way out of anything, Cosmo is known to mumble and bumble his way through life. He's timid and small, and because of this he's often overlooked. He can be a little nerdy, rambling on about the randomest of things. He's kind of shy, but around the right person, he'll talk your ear off. He doesn't have many bad qualities -- he does tend to be fickle about things, he's clingy, obsessive, tends to over think a lot. But other than that he's a pretty good kid.

Biography: Cosmo grew up in a family of successful people. It's almost like success just runs in his blood. Brains, charms, looks.. his family has it all . Except for Cosmo. The shortest, skinniest, and shyest of his siblings, he's the runt. His parents often forgot about their youngest child, seeing as he never really did anything extraordinary while in public school. Never got the highest marks, or the best awards. Cosmo doesn't speak up and stand out like his three older brothers, and because of this, his parents tend to pretend he just doesn't exist. Perhaps this is why they sent him off to Rosewood.

Spoiler: Jaden

Name: Jaden Malcolm
Age: 16
Year: 5th
House: Ivy
Nationality: British
Status: Singer/Musician
Personality: At his best, Jaden can be really protective and strong minded. He’s a boy of few words and tends to keep to himself. Perhaps due to how quiet he is people mistake it for him being bashful, but that’s so far from the truth.

The reality is that he really just does not give one flying fuck about people. To him, people (especially girls) are pawns. Toys. Maybe it’s his troubled past that made him this way, or perhaps just his God complex.

Don’t get me wrong. He’s not ALL bad. He has some redeeming qualities. The boy sings like an angel and if he gives you his word — he keeps it. But don’t expect him to be a shoulder to cry on or the person you call when you need someone. He’s only there for a few people and chances are you’re not one of them.

Biography: Jaden grew up in an extremely abusive household. His father left when he was young, leaving him with his substance abusing mother. She neglected him, leaving the child alone for hours on end and bringing strange people home to get high.

It wasn’t long before the proper authorities were informed and he was sent to live with his rich and very successful aunt. But even though he was safe there, it never felt like home. He was extremely envious of his cousin, bordering on hating the other boy. Growing up without the affection and care of a mother made Jaden a cold and frigid person.

Despite this, he’s incredibly bright. He excels at anything he puts his mind to, which is how he got into Rosewood.
