hey y'all, in case you were wondering exactly how incompetent i truly am, i just pressed a wrong button and somehow deleted the entire thread. i'm crossing my fingers that y'all had your character profiles backed up somewhere, and if you don't i'm really, truly sorry to ask you to write them again. again, i can't believe this happened. we're gonna move to this thread and work things out. @CoffeeBean @MusicElle-can-sort-of-dance!

love and sorry again, velocipede

(Thank the lord I actually saved her character lol)

name: Leon “Lee” Hollow
age: 18
gender n' sexuality: female s/h ; bi
appearance n' clothing: Shoulder length light brown hair with natural gold intertwined. Her eyes are a sharp blue that have flashes of orange within. She stands at about 5’7” and weighs roughly 110. She doesn’t have “curves,” but most of her weight is put on around her hip/upper thigh, so it could appear that she does from some angles. She likes to keep fairly good hygiene, but seeing her with dirt under her nails isn’t uncommon. The life of an explorer at heart is a tad messy.
usual clothing: Mostly baggy clothing, and you’ll almost never catch her wearing anything remotely “girly.” An outfit she wears often would include high-waisted jeans with a decorative belt, a tucked in graphic T-shirt and high tops. With the occasional baseball hat.
personality: A pretty chill person. She’s really responsible when she feels like it, but can bank on a tad rebellious. She’s an innocent girl, and doesn’t necessarily know where she’s going in the world. She has that mindset of “go with the flow, and see where it takes me.” She’s a massive music nerd, being a fan of every genre with the exception of hard techno and modern rap. Though, ask her a question spanning from folk to classic rock, she’ll answer within a second.
When provoked, Leon handles the situation with striking maturity, not really letting others get to her. She knows her place in her tight-knit group, and she’s okay with it.
background: Leon came from a particularly poor family, and her mother died early off. Her dad had to provide for them himself, but didn’t make a sustainable amount of money, so Lee had to work alongside him. She cared for her little brother a bit, although the boy grew up alone, due to her and her dad working long and hard shifts. Though, Leon would always take time out of her day to play with the boy, giving him smiles and positivity and telling him everything would be okay. He believed her, but the family struggled for quite a while, and is still slightly in the process. Leon stopped working to go to boarding school, but her dad took smaller shifts to care for her brother.
ETC: Not necessarily “magic,” but Lee’s sort of an empath. She’s very good at comforting others, because she can somewhat feel their pain. Somehow, she knows when other people are going through tough times, and offers refuge in any way she can.

name: Katie “Kate” Colley
age: 17
gender n' sexuality: female, pan
appearance n' clothing: Kate has curly dark brown hair that goes just a bit past her shoulders and eyebrows that are always plucked to perfection (the only physical feature that she is meticulous about). Her eyebrows are a bit on the thicker side, and she has a grecian nose and rosebud lips. Her skin is a warm tan color and she has light green eyes in contrast to the rest of her coloring. She has several ear piercings and an infectious smile. Kate is a bit over average height, standing at 5’ 7”, with an athletic body type.
usual clothing: Kate usually dresses like she’s from a 90’s coming of age movie. Examples:

https://pin.it/4DosbTo
personality: Kate can come off as cold to those who don’t know her well, because she doesn’t mind being mean or cold when it feels necessary. She has a sarcastic and dry sense of humor and sometimes can’t help saying things that she thinks are funny (but aren’t always are). She is kind and loyal to those who know her best, at least some of the time. She isn’t afraid to speak her mind, and she is quite honest. Kate also isn’t easily offended and tries not to get involved in petty fighting if she can avoid it.
background: Kate is an only child, and her parents split up she was seven. She was living with her mother until she was fifteen, when her mother mysteriously died. She now lives with her father, who is distant and sometimes even cold towards her.
other: none

this isn’t 100% the same as the old one but i tried to make them as similar as i could

(hmm perhaps we can each use our first one to introduce our characters styles before the other writers have to pick them up? so maybe we could each start with our person walking to a cafe or something where they're going to meet?

Kate looked at her reflection one last time before heading out. It really shouldn’t matter whether her bun was centered or not, but for some reason she cared enough to double check. Of course, it was a bit messy, but it seemed to be centered. She made a face in the mirror before heading out, walking down the street to the coffee shop where she was meeting her best friends.

It wasn’t a far walk, besides, something about the walking was soothing to Kate. She could think and daydream a bit as her body made repetitive steps. Thankfully, there weren’t too many others on the sidewalk, but even if there were, Kate’s resting bitch face tended to help her avoid people anyway.

She hummed slightly, getting that stupid butterfly feeling in her stomach that she had been telling herself to ignore for a while now. She had gotten quite good at it, too. Mostly. At any rate, Kate didn’t think that she had anything to be embarrassed about, having worn a cute but not overly nice outfit. She had on her favorite pair of colorful striped jeans, a black tank top, and yellow sneakers. For jewelry, her earrings were her only adornments, besides a simple locket around her neck.

Kate didn’t take too long to get to the cafe, since she walked fairly quickly and was good at avoiding people on the sidewalk. She opened the door, which let out a soft chime, then did a quick scan of the room. No one looked like her friends, so after she got a latte, she sat down at a table and waited, checking the time on her phone. She was early, but only by a couple of minutes, so the others should be there soon. Probably.

At any rate, the latte was good and the light pop music playing was nice, even if Kate was more of an alternative rock type of person. She drank her latte and scrolled through her phone distractedly while she waited for her friends, hoping no strangers would try to approach her (though obviously the likelihood of that was low). Any moment now, they would arrive.
