Hey. I want

Hey. I want to write a story with the rest of you guys too so, like, post about your character and four other characters beside me get in so... I'll let you know if you get in, just post before July 10. Tell me your character's looks, personality, age (10-15), family, background, and favorite things. I"m thinking of having the story be about random strangers who meet on a plane ride and find themselves in the same resort in Aruba, etc. Good or bad idea? Let me know your thoughts!

My charrie is below, and I posted my comment before this appeared, so I'll add this stuff.

Traveling Companions: none

Looking forward to: seeing her dad

Packing: her phone, Bluetooth headphones, a couple of books, fidgety things for the plane trip (she's ADHD), and a stash of PG Tips teabags.

Pick me! Pick me!

Name: Lyra Grant (first name pronounced LIE-rah NOT leer-ah)

Age: 15 1/2

Pronouns: She/Her 

Appearance: 5' 1" , latte-colored skin, big hazel eyes, fairly large nose, and dark-chocolate-colored rippley hair worn in a messy bun a few inches above the nape of her neck. Wears dark colored leggings with dresses in vibrant colors and patterns, and comfy sweaters.

Personality: Optimistic and bouncy. ADHD and easily distracted. Like, she'll be told to clean her room, but will work for three minutes and then get sidetracked and start reading a book that she meant to put back in the shelf, or something like that. Friendly and kind, even to total strangers, but not in like, a naive way. Like, she'll help someone with their luggage or shopping bags, but she wouldn't then let them take her somewhere. Some would call her childish because of her playful, optimistic nature, but she is like that because she thinks it better to live life happily, even in bad times. She is also really insecure and cares way too much about how others perceive her.

Background: Her parents divorced when she was eight, and since she was eleven she's been flying alone to her dad's as soon as school gets out for most of the summer. She's on the plane because shr is meeting her dad in Aruba for a vacation before they head back to Seattle.

Family: She lives with her mom (and her border collie, Jane) in New Hampshire most of the time, but during about half of summer break she lives with her dad in Seattle.

Favorite things: Proper British tea (PG Tips imported from England, not any of the American rip offs);  stuffed animals (not creepily or anything, just a few certain ones that she's had since she was really little); movies and books; music (mostly alt rock and pop rock and she absolutely despises country); and baking and eating baked goods.

Is it okay if I have Lyra's parents divorce when she was 11 instead?

Yeah, it's totally fine. Sorry for not responding, I was at sleepaway camp. BTw I can make more charries if no one else submits, if you still want to write this.

Is anybody else going to submit a charrie sheet? Cause I'd like to start this soon but I need like three more characters at least. Please write one up! This is mostly a solo write so you don't need to get involved. Thanks!

Btw, @Hermione Granger, I love ur character and I'm definetitly using her!

Age: 14

Appearance: Tall, about 5'6". She has short black hair with blue and purple highlights and hazel eyes, and she's usually wearing a faded Star Wars hoodie with black leggings.

Personality: She's impulsive, reckless, snarky, and has major trust issues. She also tends to not follow rules she doesn't agree with. She tries to help people when she can, though, and she can be really kind and sensitive sometimes. 

Background: I'm not that good at backstories, so maybe someone else should come up with one? (Though it would probably take a lot of work to get her to tell you anything about her past.) 

Traveling companions: None 

What they're bringing: An old black backpack covered in patches and pins contains the following: 

-Some money

-A sandwich

-A water bottle

- Tape

- A roll of Scotch tape

- Her phone

- Bluetooth headphones

I guess I'll make one too! Since this is a small group, do you want to do an RP? I think it'll turn out really good! Btw, sorry if I didn't post but I was at camp.

Name- Reniassance (Reni) Allen

Gender- female

Age- 13

Appearance- Reni has thick, glossy, dark brown hair that comes down to her waist but is up in a high ponytail, light tan skin, and dark brown eyes. She's a gymnast, so she's small with an athletic build, and she's wearing black leggings and a hot pink hoodie with white lettering from one of her gymnastic meets, along with pink Converse and diamond stud earrings.

Personality- Reni is a really happy person; she loves to smile and she's bouncy. She has learning disablilties and is the youngest of four sisters, so she's used to being ignored. Reni is really friendly and loves dogs.

Background- Reni has two older sisters, Divi and Tami, and a twin sister Hillie. She does gymnastics and struggles in school, but other than that her life is pretty normal, and she has a Yorkie named Mel (short for Melanie). 

Traveling companions- When she was younger, her family went to Aruba every year together, but they haven't for the past two years and this year it's only her dad, her, and her genius twin Hillie, because her mom is busy with work and helping 18-year-old Divi apply to college. Tami is away at sports camp all summer, and Reni was supposed to be at summer school but instead found out that she has to repeat 7th grade.

Looking forward to- Reni is looking forward to surfing and swimming and mostly just being away from school. 

Favorite things- Singing, gymnastics, playing guitar, her dog, music, (mostly pop and some country like Kelsea Ballerini and Taylor Swift) and dance.

Packing- In her carry-on, which is a black gymnastics tote, Reni packed lip gloss, her laptop, her phone and earbuds, her pink neck pillow, a notebook full of songs and her favorite pink pen, and a stuffed cat that she's had since she was little; Tibbles. She's also bringing Mel, her guitar, a big black and white suitcase full of clothes and tolietries, etc.
