Appearance Description (one paragraph, at least): Charlotte has dark brown hair that falls down her back in curls. There is always a ribbon around her head, like a headband, in pale pink. She has big brown eyes that have a soft and gently look in them. Those eyes are surrounded by long, dark eyelashes. She has a round face. She is quite short, and only stands at about five feet and two inches. She still wears the dress that she died in: a long white nightgown with a pale pink dressing gown over it.

Personality (two paragraphs, at least): Charlotte is a sweet young woman. She is patient and kind. She likes to help people, and she is always willing to offer anyone comfort, or lend an ear to anyone, especially to the other ghosts in the hotel. She likes to be needed. She is meek and timid, preferring to stay in the background. There is a bit of an elegant air about Eugenia. She was raised like a lady, and she still maintains the proper manners that she learned as a child. She still acts like a lady, and has many ladylike mannerisms. She has even retained the modesty of her era, often feeling a little uncomfortable in the presence of the male ghosts being in her nightgown and dressing gown.
When she was alive, she was always one to look on the bright side. However, since she died, she has found it hard to see the bright side of anything. She does try to cheer people up, but she often feels like she is telling lies. She had a tendency to mope. She often feels hopeless. She always seems to have a sadness surrounding her. She hardly ever smiles, and the times that she does, it is always fake.

Biography (two paragraphs, at least): Eugenia was born in London in 1882. At the time of her birth, her father, Anthony Woodward, was already a rich and successful hotelier. She was born into a life of wealth and privilege. She had an older brother and two older sister, and the family was close knit. When Eugenia was ten, her father continued to go back and fourth from London to Paris, continuing to expand his hotel business. By 1890, her father had completed his hotel and it was opened to the public. Eugenia, as well as her family, had traveled to Paris to be there.
While staying there, she struck up a romance with a man name Willis Calthorpe. Two years later, they announced their engagement, and were wed at the hotel two months later. After the wedding, Eugenia got tired, and went upstairs a little earlier than usual. She had changed into her nightgown, and before she went into bed, she heard a knock at the door. She had assumed that it was her husband and perhaps he had forgotten his key. When she opened the door, there was Jasper Harlow, a man whom she had a courtship with and ended. He stabbed her in the heart and she died. She know wanders through the hotel, mostly in either the honeymoon suite or the ballroom which her wedding was held, looking for her husband.​

Theme

Name:
George Andrew Carter
Nickname:
Georgie
Age at death:
17
Sexuality:
Heterosexual
Date of Death:
December 23rd, 1940
Method of Death:
Shrapnel through the brain.
Appearance Description:
Skinny and lanky, definitely not super soldier material. He has a gentle face with smooth features along with sky blue eyes and, pearly white teeth and messy brown hair. Along with this, he's fairly short for his age measuring at a 5'5". He's often mistaken for being younger because of his features and height. He wears his postman uniform, the one he died in.
Personality:
George is a boyscout. He is optimistic, well mannered and joyful, even during the darkest hours. He constantly has a smile plastered on his face. He's a good friend to have as he looks out for anyone and everyone. He'll help anyone he comes across if they're in a mess without a doubt. Humorous, fun-loving and friendly, George is easily a very approachable person.

However, everyone has their flaws. George is a coward, fearing many things in his lifetime (bugs, loud noises, heights to name a few). He can be seen as weak at times due to his physique and , but rarely, is picked on by those less sympathetic than him. Because of this, he doesn't have the ability and courage to stand up for himself.

In the afterlife, he seems oblivious to the fact that he's dead and is often caught pondering where his next destination will be. He roams the hotel looking for his mail's receiver.
Biography:
George was born in a small town near Manchester during the 1920's, to a working class family. As long as he can remember, George found himself doing odd jobs to help support his family. Despite his upbringing, George was brought up to be a humble gentleman. He was raised on table manners, social etiquette and good christian values. His days would be busy with school and work, not leaving much for his social life.


Despite this however, George made friends through the services he was providing. He got to know young men through mining, old ladies through painting and boys his age through managing the town stadium.

He moved with his family to the outskirts of London in 1936, where he continued his current schedule of work but in a more urbanised fashion. He was bought a bicycle for his morning and evening jobs but often cycled around town to get to school. George worked as a paperboy and a mailman until December 23rd, 1940 when he got lost in the dark and coincidently the local sirens failed to sound. George was caught in the middle of a bombing raid. Fortunately, he died instantly.

George was discovered partially intact the next morning in a completely different neighbourhood, next to The Grand Hotel.

Name: Absidy Lorence


Nickname: She is often called by her last name Lorence, or Lory.


Age at Death: 17


Sexuality: Heterosexual


Date of Death: 2015


Method of Death: Shot to death. Three bullet wounds to the chest.


Appearance: Lorence has platinum blonde, wavy hair that hangs down just past her shoulder blades. She often wears it tied up in a bun to keep it out of her face. Her features are very sharp and bird-like, giving her a very fragile appearance. Her eyes are a very light shade of blue, though one is slightly (almost unnoticeably) darker than the other. She stands at about 5’3, being a very short and petite girl, weighing only 89 pounds. She has excellent postur and glides when she walks.

30a1cae052a6998a1a18e5b6663204f5.jpg


Personality: Absidy is a rare kind of person. Pure and beautiful inside and out. She has a natural love for all living things, and a soft-spoken demeanor that seems to draw people towards her. She is incredibly kind and gentle girl, always striving to make everyone happy constantly. At least, until she died.


Now, present day, it’s a different story. Lorence is a bitter and frustrated girl, desperately trying to move on to the next plane of existence. She suffers a deep depression after being separated from all she loves, and only finds consolation in dancing and playing the piano. Each day she becomes more snappish, but there are traces of her old patient and kind self. Mere traces mind you.


Bio: When alive, Absidy was absolutely beloved. Not only was she beautiful on the outside, but she was pure on the inside as well. Her parents were two very rich and successful business executives, and so growing up she wanted for nothing. She attended a private school, where she found her two greatest passions. Playing the piano, and ballroom dancing. She was in love with music, and was a prodigy from the moment she began.


She grew up being encouraged in her passions, and blossomed at everything she tried. She was a cause for many girl’s jealousy. Lorence had a multitude of loyal friends and being an only child meant she was never starved for attention. Her life was perfect. Until her family's trip to The Grand Hotel. They weren’t staying, only touring the place. During the tour the janitor on duty seemed to lose his mind, turned, and shot the three of them to death. The janitor then shot himself. Absidy was left behind in the hotel, while her parents moved onto their next life. Drowning in despair, Absidy almost never leaves the ballroom. She can be heard playing the piano, and sometimes seen dancing along the marble floor as graceful as ever.

Name: Corduroy Belkins

Nickname: Cordy

Age at death: 22

Sexuality: Heterosexual

Date of Death: 1920

Method of Death: Bullet to the head


Appearance Description: He has blond hair that is nearly white and was the only trait his father passed down to him. He never tends to his hair and it naturally curls at the end and sprawls all over the place. His more softer, dark green eyes and nose were from his mother that soften his features and can be seen when his face isn't set into a scowl. His body is muscular from sports he played as a teenager and he had a bit it of tan from the outside labor he did when he was alive that faded in his new ghostly form.

Personality: Corduroy still has the playfulness of a child despite being alive for nearly 100 years. He jokes about his own death among other subjects and keeps everyone's spirits up despite their predicament. He adopted the whole "Mother Bird" trait and is the one who tries to keep the other ghosts optimistic. His smile is contagious and he tries to use it for the better good.

Despite his friendly disposition, he is struggling internally like all the other ghosts. He has bad mood swings on some days, mostly on holidays and any other dates that remind him of his past and during these times he tends to separate from his peers. He usually goes to room 10 and takes out his anger which is why the mortals dub the room the "Poltergeist Room."

Biography:
Corduroy was born into a middle-class family in Belgium. He had no siblings and his parents loved him dearly and he thrived thanks to this. His father was a doctor while his mother stayed home with the boy and raised him. He was a fast learner and enjoyed all his subjects in school.
He was a mischevious child but people didn't pay too much mind because he did so well in school. He ran through the town with three other boys he led around and they got into trouble. People just shook their heads at the boys and they just smiled and got away with everything.

Corduroy was sent to Paris over the summer when he was 18 to live with his aunt and cousin while his father went to America with his wife. Corduroy was waiting for his letter from a university back home to see if he was going to attend when news from America reached him about his parent's death. It had been nothing but a mugging gone more serious and Corduroy was left parentless. He never had a tragedy in his life and it took quite a toll. He tore up the entry letter to the university and spent most of his time out with friends drinking and hooking up with girls crowded on the streets with hands made for pinching money out of unsuspecting wallets and rouge on their cheeks.

The night he died he was with his favorite girl, Sophie. He was drunk out of his mind and didn't even have to the willpower to do anything except throw up out the window while Sophie smoked a cigarette with an amused look, knowing she'd be paid either way. He didn't notice angry footsteps down the hotel hallway and the angry yelling or the way Sophie's face froze. She unlocked the door as the voice commanded and the man rewarded her with a smack that sent her crumpling to the floor. Corduroy never saw the face of Sophie's angry boyfriend, but the death was quick. The bullet entered the back of his head and exited out the side near his ear. No one knew his killer and so he was left at the hotel, with more sorrow than he ever had before. He now wanders through the halls of the Grand Hotel.​
