appearance: charlotte has long dark hair that she's careful to always keep straightened. she's average height with dark brown eyes that are always darkened with eyeliner and mascara.
personality: charlotte's blunt, she doesn't beat around the bush. if you're looking for someone to sugar coat the truth, charlotte isn't your girl. strong willed and ambitious, charlotte's been called a b-thc more than a few times, but she's just determined to make a name for herself. growing up with almost nothing in a small rural town, charlotte and her sister cora knew they wanted something more than barely making rent and a high school class of seventeen kids. charlotte's terrified of never succeeding, which is why she's so tough on herself.

family: alexander wright, deceased
violet wright, deceased
cora wright, sister; kerry washington
fitzgerald 'fitz' brennan; chris pine
 
past/current relationships: like a lot of small town teens, charlotte had a high school sweetheart, fitz brennan. growing up next door to each other, the brennan's and the wright's always hoped the two would end up together. however as graduation approached, charlotte began to notice fitz's less than supportive attitude towards her move to the nation's capital. realizing he wanted her to stay, charlotte left the night of graduation without saying goodbye, escaping to boston to live with cora. charlotte never told him she was pregnant, and gave the baby up for adoption when she was born in late august. he still has no idea, and the two haven't talked since charlotte left on the june night
best friends: having a lot of enemies, charlotte has three best friends from college who are her family.

bio: successful lawyer, world-alterring politician, these are the hefty goals of the driven charlotte wright. from a rural town in maine, charlotte knew she was too big for her small hometown and it's restraining boarders. leaving her high school sweetheart behind, charlotte began her new life in washington dc, attending george washington university. after graduating with honors, charlotte is ready to begin law school at georgetown. charlotte doesn't talk about her past, not even with her best friends. she acts as though her life began in college, and hopes to keep it that way.

personality: olivia's a force of nature, she can't be stopped. extremely intelligent, olivia's quite articulate and sometimes has an issue keeping her attitude in check. she's passionate and while she believes in right and wrong she toes the line at time. olivia always seems to have everything together, even when that's farthest from the truth.
bio: as the daughter of new york's mayor william caswell the third, olivia's constantly putting up a front to the world. however the show her family puts on isn't anything like reality. three years ago olivia's mother margaret was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor, devastating the entire caswell family. however, his wife's illness hasn't prevented william from having constant affairs with women two times his junior as he's had since they got married. you see in the caswell family you don't marry for money, but for political capita. love doesn't matter, votes do. unfortunately margaret fell in love with william, while he fell in love with her first lady potential. torn apart by his infidelities, margaret struggles to play the part of the doting wife, william's plan for olivia's future. as a caswell, olivia's expected to marry a rising political star, have some children, and hopefully become the first lady of the united states of america. william's been scouting for acceptable candidates since olivia turned fifteen. however, olivia doesn't want to marry a political genius, she wants to be the political genius. disgusted by her father and his tireless facade, olivia wants to break free from her family's tradition of loveless marriages and smoke and mirror lives.

hey. hi. hello.
 
i'm still alive. just being killed by junior year, yippie.
 
my extremely large girl crush on kristen stewart is getting out of hand. it doesn't help that most of her pictures include rob pattinson who is ridiculous hot and has the sexiest singing voice ever.
 
listening to some good ol' florence and the machine, god that woman is a genius.
 
and of course being the lame person that i am, i'm anxiously awaiting the return of my fall television shows.
 
guessssss whattt? in t-minus 35 days i'll be at the regina spektor concert. i'm so freaking excited.

dead sea - the lumineers (my love)
 
hey there lovelies. this is kinda an update on everything going on with me, haha.
 
so school's starting soon, meh. i'm excited to see my friends on a regular basis and i'm excited for a few of my classes but i'm really not ready for constant work and going to bed before midnight.
 
so i'm doing a lot of work with my voice teacher to improve my solo voice. (: i've been thinking about posting some mp3 of me singing, tell me what you think.
 
oh oh oh, okay so i wrote this character a few months ago and i've got a lot of inspiration. i was thinking about maybe writing for her, and posting the stories on facebook even though it's not for a roleplay, hmm what do you think. here's her bio:
 
adaline jaymes park
twenty-six
adaline never been able to stay in the same place for very long. she was born a month early, she fidgeted her way through school, and the day she graduated from high school she was on her way to the other side of the country. it was at berkley did she discover her love of traveling, and the beauty of nature. after one semester of college, addie dropped out and began using her very large trust fund to travel and do just about everything. she spent a month living in a small kenyan village, another month hiking the appalachian trail. she's visited all seven continents, and doesn't own a cell phone. it was at an ashram in india where she met samuel, and showed him the ways of a wandering soul. the two began a relationship, traveling together and exploring the world. the two got engaged last year while camping on the greek islands. addie figured they'd settle down when they were older, or when their money ran out. she figured she'd be ready then, but circumstances changed and after the sudden death of samuel's father he decided to put his degree to use and get a job near his mother to help care for her. the two are set to move in right after their wedding in india, where they met. the thought of settling down someplace permanent makes it hard for aria to breathe, even if she is settling down with the love of her life.

near wild heaven: the next generation - maia friedman
 
My heavy eyelids fought tirelessly against the exhaustion that plagued my body. I'd spent the better part of last night video chatting with my team back home, and trying to fight the nerves of my first day of school.
 
Methodically, I brushed my dark long hair with long strokes. Dark circles blossomed beneath my dark eyes, causing me to look utterly depressed. Not like I didn't feel close to that these days.
 
"Maia honey, you're going to be late," my mother called up the stairs for the third time this morning. Rolling my eyes, I smoothed my sweater one last time before snatching my backpack that was hanging off the old chair in the corner of my room.
 
"Levi?", pushing open his door, he nearly knocked me to the ground as he was exiting. "Careful squirt," he smiled playfully before putting his arm around me and crushing me to his chest.
 
"Ready to go to the James' house?" he asked, knowing I didn't want to go. "Kill me," I muttered in Hebrew, as we made it to the bottom of the stairs.
 
"Look at my babies all grown up," my mother gushed, much to my annoyance. "Let me take a picture," she rushed to grab her camera.
 
Moving past Levi, a frown spread across my face. Grumbling, "I'll meet you in the car," my tired feet dragged me outside to Levi's truck.
 
A few minutes later, Levi hopped down the stairs and climbed into the car, starting the ignition. "You shouldn't be so hard on her," he sighed.
 
Ignoring him, my fingers searched through my backpack until they wrapped around the cool metal of my iPod. Dramatically, I popped the buds in my ear and turned up the music to full volume.
 
I usually tried not to take my anger out on Levi, but my lack of sleep had made me extremely irritable.
 
Part of me knew I shouldn't be nervous, I mean I already knew everyone from school. Although I'd grown up in Israel, we'd been forced to spend a lot of time in Tree Hill. Though I always claimed to be miserable, I'd had a few good times with Torrey and Dylann, and was excited to see them again.
 
Evidently we'd reached the famous James residence, because the truck came to a sudden halt. "Go on, I'll see you soon," Levi yelled, trying to be understood over my blaring music.
 
Turning the music off, I glared at him wordlessly. "You're not coming with?" my voice shot up an octave.
 
Levi shook his head. "Nah, Tree Hill girl tea parties aren't exactly my thing," he laughed, starting up the engine one more. "See ya munchkin," he was still laughing as he drove away.
 
Fantastic. Just effing fantastic.
 
Quickly I tried to remember how to get to school, and calculated how to get there from this location. Someone calling my name broke my concentration.
 
"I said, Maia," an older looking Torrey headed my way, climbing the path up to the James' door.
 
"Oh sorry, what's up?" I asked lamely, already feeling uncomfortable.
 
"I've miss you so much," she squealed, throwing her arms around my neck. "I cannot believe you're finally here for good, this year is going to be fantastic," she gushed, leading me in through the back door.
 
I'd forgotten how close the Walshes and the James' were, that explained how comfortable Torrey was with this whole breakfast.
 
Nodding and smiling, I felt bad for not listening more attentively to Torrey.
 
"Quinn," a voice I vaguely recognized called from behind me.
 
"You've gotten so old, my you're beautiful," Mrs. James smiled, giving my shoulder a quick squeeze.
 
"Thank you Mrs. James," I responded respectively.
 
"Oh please, call me Lexi. Congrats on making the olympics, I just feel sick that it didn't work out," she murmured, this time squeezing my hand.
 
Yeah, you and me both.
 
"Thanks," I responded again, quickly moving away from her.
 
Ah, the olypmics. Every little gymnast's dream. For me, it seemed like that dream had become a reality. In early June, I'd won the Israeli olympic trials, earning me a spot on the olympic team. Of course when my family insisted that we had to move to Tree Hill, I was forced to give away my spot.
 
I hadn't done gymnastics since.
 
"Hey there Maia, long time no see," Scarlett gave me a quick hug.
 
My weak smile didn't even touch my eyes as I attempted to greet her. We turned to listen to the end of Lexi's speech.
 
"We are all so proud of you guys, and you all should be proud of yourselves. You are all growing up to be fine men and women. Let's raise our glasses, cheers to a year filled with adventure, success, love, and happiness.
 
Wordlessly I chugged down my orange juice before slipping out the back and settling down on the porch.
 
Cheers to a sh-itty year, and many more to come.
 
Great.
 
xx Maia
