Vivienne was thrilled to finally be at St. Amelie for real, and gearing to start her classes. Yes, she had visited the campus multiple times as a young girl for various events with her parents, but actually starting felt completely different. She had successfully moved from the palace, given her parents all of her love (though she was set to see them the next week anyway for a dinner with the Prime Minister), and set on her way. The theatre department wasted no time in auditioning for fall productions, with times set on the evening of the first day of classes. Vivienne needed time to practice, and was itching to get into the building she’d be spending most of her days in. Her bag was full of fragments of music and scripts, her highlighters and pencils already floating to the bottom, where they would surely soon be lost.

The princess could have expected to be stopped, but didn’t expect it to be by someone she didn’t know - an American? - a cute American! Vivienne tilted her head as she spoke, before noticing the violin case, and a smile soon took over her face. “In the fine arts building? I’m actually heading there now! You can come with me, but you have to promise not to steal my favorite room.” Her tone was light and joking as she pushed her bag further onto her shoulder. “It’s this way.”

His grin grew bigger as she spoke, because it gave him a good excuse to keep talking to her and he apparently hadn’t been weird or annoying yet. “I guess, yeah,” he said, rummaging for the information packet so he could skim over it. “I mean, it makes sense that the practice rooms would be in the fine arts building, right? I’ll do my best not to steal your favorite room but no promises, if it’s a good one.” He winked, dropping the packet into his bag again and holding his hand out. “I’m Gil Davison.”

Who: Gil & Vivienne ( @the-princessvivienne ) Where: Outside the dorms When: Before classes start (I already forgot the date sorry)

There had been a lot of change in Gil’s life in the past few weeks - good changes, he was pretty sure but it was still a lot to take in. But he’d settled into his new dorm (far fancier than anything he’d lived in up to this point in his life) and dropped a Genovia guidebook (because his mom was old-fashioned and thought he needed it, and Gil couldn’t just leave it) and laptop and some music into his backpack, and picked up his violin and set out to get acquainted with the campus. But it was big and confusing and where he had been fully prepared to go to somewhere like ASU and get used to a huge campus, this was different. There weren’t a lot of people around, and several of them just seemed a little unapproachable, so he walked over to the first person he saw who happened to look friendly (and it helped that she was cute). “Hey, sorry to be this guy but . . . I’m looking for the practice rooms?”

Gilbert Theodore Davison

Let’s welcome [Gilbert Theodore Davison ] who is part of the [Freshman] class this year. Isn’t it freaky how much they look like [Noah Centineo] ?!

They are [ Cis male ] and would love it if you used [ He/his ] as their pronouns. ☓ This student is a [ 19 ] year old commoner from [America ]… Things are about to get interesting in St. Amelie !!

Aesthetic: well worn jeans, red Converse, violin music, succulents on the windowsill, messy handwriting, late nights studying,

History:

Diana Davison was still in college when she got pregnant and her current boyfriend decided the responsibility was too much for him. Although it was unexpected, Diana made the choice to keep her baby and raise him on her own. Her parents did not approve and made it clear that if she did that, she’d be on her own, but she remained firm in her decision. She had a loyal group of friends to help her and with their support, she was able to rent an apartment and find a job that would provide for her and her baby, and settled in to her new life. Gilbert Theodore was born in due time, and raised with his aunties to help and his mom, who never complained about anything and always did her best to provide. She went back to school when Gil was in second grade, and when she graduated, she found a better job at a bank. They never had a lot of extra money, but Gil had everything he needed.

When he graduated high school, Gil took a year off to save money - he earned a scholarship to ASU, but it didn’t cover everything and he wanted to have some savings of his own to lean on. During his year off, he worked in the kitchen at a nursing home and made friends with one of the residents. After Philip’s death, he left a fund for Gil to use for his schooling. And unknown to Gil, Diana heard of the opening of St. Amelie and knew it would be an excellent opportunity for Gil, so she submitted his name for a scholarship there - and he received it. With a scholarship that covered his tuition, and the money from Philip to cover books and other necessities, Gil set off for Genovia in the fall.

Personality:

+ Charming & Responsible: Gil is a gentleman; he likes being polite and friendly and always has a smile for everyone. It was due in a large part to his upbringing: with a single mom and a lot of female influences in his life, he learned from them and has always tried to be respectful to everyone he meets.

- Flippant & a Workaholic: Growing up and watching his mom struggle to make ends meet led Gil to a strong work ethic but also a lot of worry and concern about money. He tends to work as hard as possible and save as much as he can so that he and his family don’t have to worry about money again in the future. His tendency toward friendliness and joviality also leads him to seem careless and flippant at times.

Extracurriculars: N/A
