lucius:

luci was reading through a script of a potential show for the next school year’s season when lennox came into his classroom. it wasn’t exactly odd, but he could instantly tell that his younger sister was not in a good mood. he looked up as she sat, eyes resting on her as he waited for her to speak. he knew she probably would and he didn’t want to start the conversation and say the wrong thing. he knew lennox was going through a hard time, her anger was completely understandable and he never wanted to invalidate her feelings, even if she sometimes took them out on the wrong person. lucius took a breath as she finally spoke, nodding, “that much was pretty clear… what’s going on?” he set the script down, giving her his full attention, “or do you not wanna talk about it?” he didn’t want to force her to talk if that wasn’t what she wanted. 

he leaned back in his chair, waiting, “and… for the record, it’s ok to be upset, lennox.” that was important. luci wanted her to know that he would refute her feelings. if she needed to be angry or upset or sad then she was allowed to be. it took a lot for him not to just ramble and ramble, but even he could recognize the time and place wasn’t right for that. not with lennox. and definitely not lately with lennox. 

lennox opened one of her eyes and peeked over at luci as he started speaking. at his questions, she closed it again and sighed, rubbing her hands down her face. “it’s not that i don’t wanna talk it’s just —” she opened her eyes and shook her head, slapping her hands into her lap exasperatedly, “it’s just that everything is going on. everything! but nothing should be, everything should be on pause, or something,” she explained, hoping that made any sense. today, it wasn’t the fact that ana had passed that was bothering her; it was that the world just kept moving as though nothing happened. lennox couldn’t recall any other time she’d experienced loss so personally, and it just felt . . . wrong to not give it time, to not let it be in the front of her mind. it just baffled and upset her beyond belief that everyone else could just move past it.

lex shrugged, “i . . . i guess,” she responded. really, she knew her brother was right; there was no shame in being upset. matter of fact, she had half a mind to let him know she agreed, but she couldn’t bring herself to do it. in her mind, someone like herself couldn’t afford to be upset. upset for lennox was bad on a good day — of course, the recent events just made her good days almost unbearable. so she kept her response short, hoping her brother would let her leave it at that on that point. she knew her fuse was especially short today, and really she just didn’t want to feel more upset than she was, and she especially didn’t want to take that out on luci; especially not since she was the one who traipsed into his classroom.

a risk-taker by nature, lennox found herself in all types of situations without giving them much of a second thought. tattoos, piercings, unlikely friendships, fights, hell, even starting small businesses as a teenager; lex was pretty sure she had enough experiences under her belt to last her for a long while. there is, however, an area she’s not as well-versed in — relationships, of any kind. out loud, lex tended to chalk that up to the fact that she was busy. and while that’s true to an extent, the reality is that the idea of being in a real relationship scared her; so instead, she tends to keep things short, preferably one-time. it didn’t surprise her at all that when she did make time to go to a party, she ended hooking up with somebody. what did surprise her was that that somebody had been tony goldstein. what was surprising her the most is that somehow, multiple months later, they were . . . hanging out? if you could call it that. it’s more along the lines of  they caught each other outside of school for once, and a conversation accidentally sparked up.

“you know,” lennox started, squinting over at him, “it’s kinda new this whole conversation hasn’t turned into, like, an awkward mess yet,” that seemed to be the norm for these two, despite neither of them really meaning for it to be that way. lex was silently grateful, though; with everything going on, she really didn’t mind the company.

lennox carter was known for a multitude of things, but being vulnerable or good with emotions was nowhere near making that list on a good day — unfortunately for lex (and everyone around her), she was not having a good day. since ana had died, lex had been struggling to keep herself together and her usual coping mechanisms weren’t working as well as they did usually. she told herself that was understandable; hitting the hell out of tennis balls shot at you from a machine could only do so much to soothe the wound that comes from losing your best friend, right? today she didn’t even feel like staying after school to try that method for what felt like the millionth time, but she didn’t feel like going home either. everything at home was just . . . too much these days. luckily for her, having your brother work at the school you attend is quite convenient; it basically gave her a spot in the school she could use anytime, because that’s obviously how it worked.

the final bell of the day rang, signaling the end of school and instead of making her usual beeline to the tennis courts or her car, lennox all but stormed into her brother’s classroom. she unceremoniously dropped herself into a random chair, crossing her arms and tucking her chin into her chest. eyes closed, she sat there silently for a few moments before huffing out, “i’m upset,” lex knew that that was the least useful and most obvious thing to say, but it was all she could offer at the moment and she decided it had to be enough.

✷ (LOVIE SIMONE / CIS FEMALE / SHE/HER / CARTER + #5) is that [ LENNOX CARTER ] over there? the [ HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR ] is [ EIGHTEEN ]. i heard they’re a [ LIBRA ]- which is probably why they are so [ CLEVER AND CREATIVE ], but also [ DRAMATIC AND REACTIVE ]. did you hear that they [ HAVE BEGAN ATTENDING ANGER MANAGEMENT AGAIN ]… hope no one finds out. ooc ; jalynn, 21, est, she/her !

hey gang it’s me again, back with another character!! i’m very excited to bring her in, so i’m just gonna get straight to it! also gonna try to keep this shorter than penny’s lmao

— basics!

lennox elise carter (also goes by lex or lexi)

born october 5th, 2001 (libra)

attending the fashion institute of technology in nyc in the fall

plans to major in entrepreneurship with a concentration in fashion and design industries

5′7″ so she’s edging on the taller side and praying for one last growth spurt (note: it won’t happen)

slytherin

chaotic good

here’s a pinterest board!

— past!

born as the youngest, the baby girl to the carters!

naturally, the whole family is quite protective of her. cute, we love to see it

the only problem is that lex does Not love to see it

trust, she does love her family! wholeheartedly, without a doubt! and she understands it comes from a good place, but she’s always felt the protectiveness was more like overprotectiveness, and she’s just not built for that

of course, this sounds like a recipe for a bit of disaster and, surprise, it was!

lexi had always been an endearing little headache, a pain you couldn’t help but love. very standard annoying little sister! but when she was in about middle school, it was starting to be unbearable

general preteen/teenage angst + overprotective family + weak emotional control + a fiery spirit + a pinch of being spoiled = emotional outbursts

and lexi’s primary emotion just turned out to be anger. when she was at her most uncontrolled you could barely look at her without her blowing up a making a scene wherever she was

was really just taking out her anger on absolutely everybody and was very self destructive. her parents eventually were like okay we’ve gotta try something so boom! anger management classes!

and, as expected, lexi hated them so bad because she hates being told what to do lmao but she’ll still be one of the first to admit (begrudgingly) that they worked

the classes forced her to start looking for better ways to express herself which lead her to get into fashion and makeup (she currently runs a rather successful cosmetic brand online! she makes and sells lashes and lipglosses but wants to expand) and tennis (hitting the shit out of a ball and running around as a good way to redirect anger! plus, cute court fashion!)

lexi still is who she is (fiery and sharp tongued), but she’s not as bad as she was. and she always feels very sad that she put her family through hell and treated them the way she did. she tries her best, though, and hopes it’s enough of a sorry

ana was her best friend on the planet. her passing has put lexi in a bad place emotionally and she feels herself resorting back to her ways of being angry first, destroying things, and cleaning up later

but she really doesn’t want to be that, so she took it upon herself to start anger management back up. it’s nothing to be ashamed of, which she knows deep down, but she keeps it a secret because she doesn’t want people to think she’s out of control again, despite that being exactly how she feels. it’s a pride thing.

— personality!

like i’ve said before, she’s fiery and sharp tongued. the type of person you literally can’t argue with because she will argue you down whether she’s right or not

fairly mischievous. definitely the type to like....move all of your things over an inch just to disorient you. push your water bottle off your desk when you’re not looking. honestly, kind of childish behavior asjdhasjkdh but she only ever does it in good fun, even if it’s annoying. likes to tease her family and friends

 DRAMA QUEEN everything bad that happens to her is the end of the world and she will let everybody know it! in that same vein everything good is the best thing she’s ever experienced and will let you know that too

she takes just about everything personally tbh. comes with the drama queen territory, she’s reactive

lexi’s sharp as a tack. not very good with history or science, but this girl can work an equation like nobody’s business. also interested in communications and social studies, as one is when they run a small business with customers

she’s super creative! finds inspiration for her closet and makeup in literally everything! she loves clothes please go shopping with her she’s a fun time

she’s very confident! you can’t tell her a damn thing about herself she doesn’t already know or own. 

super dedicated, super loyal. once you’re in her circle, she’s down for you for life, will do anything for you. don’t do anything to betray that level of trust, though, because if you do, then well......it’s not pretty

— connections!

more bffs would be cute, so anybody that would’ve hung with her and ana maybe? like a cute lil friend group? i wld love that

love interests? past relationships? anything like that

teachers!

lex is captain of the tennis team so. if you have a muse that plays tennis then yay

ex friends!! people who crossed her or irritate that she can’t stand!! it’s easy enough, lex has a pretty polarizing personality

counselor or therapist or emotional management coach wld be a+ thnx

anything! just like this and i’ll hit u up muah
