the friendly ghost.

phoebe caruso. twenty-two. music major. ghost.

[phantcsma]

Get to know PHOEBE CARUSO who’s TWENTY-TWO years old and a JUNIOR in college majoring in MUSIC. She is from ITALY and is often times mistaken for MADELYN CLINE while others say she reminds them of PHANTASMA from SCOOBY DOO & THE GHOUL SCHOOL

death tw

daughter of an accomplished opera singer, most of her childhood was spent going to his performances at various opera houses around italy. she herself wasn’t much of a singer but she still absolutely loved music. she knew how to play most of the instruments her father kept around the house but her absolute favorite was the organ. as she got older, she even started playing it for her father’s operas. 

then, she died. she claims not to remember much about the day she died, she just knows it had something to do with a fire and it involved one of her father’s enemies. she likes to believe that it was just an accident, they just got carried away. surely, they weren’t meaning to hurt her and her father.

her father had a different outlook on it and was incredibly angry. he lost everything. his life, his home, his career. and so, he began haunting the opera houses around italy. he’s proud of the reputation he has as the terrifying specter that haunts the opera houses. “enter at your own peril,” the tour guide warns menacingly as they lead a group pass one of the buildings. he truly seems to enjoy scaring people.

phoebe... doesn’t. she doesn’t want to scare anyone, she just wants to play her music. it was her death that she actually began to compose her own music, it was always something she had wanted to do when she was alive but never got the chance to. now? she had an entire afterlife to learn! for years, her father was the only one who would listen. anyone else she would try to play her songs for would just run, either because her father scared them off or they were just scared of her. 

then, her whole life changed (again) when she was invited to study at miss grimwood’s finishing school for girls. it was under her watchful eye that phoebe was finally able to perfect her music and play for someone other than her father. and she was able to actually make connections with other people, with girls who were in the same predicament as hers. 

soon enough though, playing for the other students at grimwood got old. she felt like she wasn’t truly progressing as an artist. so, when the opportunity arose for the girls to move to corona, she took it. being able to play her music in a new place alongside her closest (and only) friends? sign her up! she’s worked on controlling and perfecting her powers, even tangibility. it can be a little exhausting at times but it’s worth it to her.

One might think that due to her circumstances, Phoebe would be a very gloomy girl but she's far from it. She's just as excitable and playful as she was when she was alive, always eager to meet new people. She has no interest in scaring people like her father, she wants to make people happy. Whether it's through her music or just her positive attitude! She is a little sensitive to rejection - especially if it's due to them being scared of her. It just... breaks her heart.  

headcanons

most of the music she's composed over the years has been classical, it's all she's ever really been exposed to. since arriving at corona though and being introduced to various "modern" genres, she's started to branch out a bit. she still vastly prefers classical but she doesn't look down on modern music. she especially likes jazz.

loves musicals!!! she thinks they're so fun and is often in the front seat at the university's productions - even if the performances don't match up to the originals. she finds phantom of the opera a little humorous - considering her father is a literal phantom of the opera. it just makes her giggle.

she is absolutely fascinated by a lot of modern things. most of them she hadn't seen before attending grimwood, some she hadn't even seen before her arrival in corona. she has so many questions about them. how do they work? what are they used for? what is the point? her personal favorite is the flip phone. she's had people try to show her smart phones before but she just... doesn't get it. she also just likes the snap the flip phone makes when you close it. it pleases her.

as homesick as she gets sometimes, she doesn't think she'll ever really move back home. not unless her father's outlook changes and he stops haunting people. she doesn't think she could truly handle going back to where everyone just fears her and runs away. she's not sure how to break this to her father though - who she has yet to tell this.

despite not wishing to scare anyone, she still absolutely adores halloween. everything about it. carving pumpkins, cobwebs, plastic skeletons. it all just reminds her of grimwood's and helps her when she's missing it.

while luka wasn’t technically a student at corona university, he still happened to spend a decent amount of time in the study nooks of the music buildings. between penny, juleka, and phoebe there were more than enough people in his life that frequented the area to draw him in. and with viperon records not yet having an official office space, it was some of the best places to do business type meetings with everyone. which was what this afternoon was supposed to be, if penny were here on time. though at this point luka already expected her to be late and had prepared, strumming his guitar mindlessly as he sat with phoebe. “i think i have an idea for a music video for one of my songs,” he finally speaks up after a few minutes pass with the two sitting in music filled silence. @phantcsma​

[phantcsma]

phoebe could hardly believe sometimes that she had gone from playing her organ by herself in one of the opera houses to... well, this. she wouldn’t change it for the world though, it was nice to actually be able to play music with other people, and talk about her music with someone other than her father. she was feeling a little restless as she sat with luka in one of the study nooks, tapping the table with her pencil impatiently. she was considering just going to play something while they waited for penny when he spoke up. “oh?” she perked up, clearly excited. “what’s your idea? for which song? is there anywhere i can help?” the words flew out of her mouth at rocket speeds, not even pausing to give him a chance to answer any of them.

thenorthwcst​:

Pacifica was used to her fair share of high ends events - balls, galas, fundraisers - you name it, she’d been to them all. She had to admit it was a bit more fun when she didn’t have to be on her very best behavior. “It’s certainly something,” she agreed with a smile, eyes falling as the other pulled her shoes off to give them some kind of reprieve. “Can’t complain about the free drinks and the food has been delicious, though I didn’t expect anything else. What about you? I mean, besides dancing.” 

Phoebe tucked her feet under her chair, trying to hide them, although her dress already did a pretty good job of covering them. “Mhm, the free refreshments are always really good.” Not that she really partook in a lot of it. “Oh, I’m having a lot of fun! I admit I’ve done more dancing than anything else but I’ve been trying to make sure I talk to everyone.” She paused. “Everyone I know, of course. It’s nice to see everyone all dressed up.”

[phantcsma]

mavisdracule​:

watching everyone dance and taking in all the different dresses and masks, mavis thought the question over with a soft hum. “not really,” she answers after a moment. “not to this extent, anyway. we had parties - but never masquerades - and it’s been decades since we had a true ball. but even then it wasn’t quite as grand as this.”

“oh, that’s a shame.” phoebe shook her head, sighing in disappointment. she wasn’t really sure what answer she was hoping for, it wasn’t like a lot of hotels hosted balls nowadays. maybe she just thought they did things a little differently. “i don’t think any of the balls i went to were as magnificent as this either, now that i think about it. it really is beautiful.”

[phantcsma]

phoebe couldn’t stop herself from crossing the room to meet the other woman, excitement evident on her face. “hi! i love your dress and well, everything here, really.” she gestured at her outfit, it wasn’t anything she thought she could pull off herself but she still had an appreciation for it. “you’re thorn, right?” @hexgrlthorn​

[phantcsma]

"have you ever been to anything like this before?” phoebe questioned, watching the various couples dancing on the dance floor with a blissful smile on her face. “i mean, before moving here.” she added quickly, realizing that events like these were a regular occurrence on the island. “did you ever host anything like this at the hotel?” @mavisdracule​

[phantcsma]

“winnie!” phoebe raced up to her friend once she saw her break away from her date, immediately grabbing her arm. she had been waiting for an opening all night, not wanting to intrude but still wanting to spend some time with her. “do you want to dance? or are you taking a break?” @howlingwinnie​ 

[phantcsma]

“here!” phoebe chirped as she approached the table, two cups of blueberry ginger fizz in her hands. she didn’t necessarily need to drink anymore but she always liked to try the drinks they served at these events. it was always something new to her. “i don’t really know what it is but it sounded good!” she set the cups down, taking a seat across from her. @elsafrankenteen​

[phantcsma]

"isn’t this so fun?” phoebe plopped down into the seat beside the other blonde, leaning over to take her shoes off for a moment. “i’ve been dancing so much my feet are starting to hurt!” she giggled. her feet didn’t really hurt, she never really felt pain like that, she had just been looking for an excuse to actually sit next to the other girl. “have you been having fun?” @thenorthwcst​

    —- “i feel minorly awkward being here,” edric commented, tugging at the collar of his shirt. this was a best behaviour event. there was no reason to cause the trouble. emira wasn’t here, he had no orders. he was free to do anything. but, the discomfort was apparent on his face- even with the mask. edric couldn’t help but chew on his lip, picking the bits of dry skin, until it bled.

[phantcsma]

phoebe was bouncing on the balls of her feet in excitement, she always loved events like these. the dancing, dressing up, just the general atmosphere reminded her of her life before well - you know. “did you say something, edric? oh!” she had finally turned her attention back to him, gasping at the sight of his bloody lip. “you’re bleeding!” she whirled around, grabbing a napkin off the nearest table. “are you feeling okay?”

[phantcsma]

phoebe’s masquerade look.

[phantcsma]

“Do you think I can fit these candy canes up my nose?” ( winnie )

“I bet you could.” Phoebe giggled, unwrapping a jolly rancher flavored candy cane. She had gotten a little bit obsessed with all the different flavors of candy canes they were making, she never remembered them being quite so elaborate when she was still alive. “You don’t think I went overboard, do you?” She questioned her, a sheepish look on her face as she gestured to the many different candy canes scattered across the table. “I’m just so fascinated by all these flavors!” @howlingwinnie

[phantcsma]

“This isn’t Pinterest-y enough!” (teri)

“It’s not?” Phoebe looked up from the homemade tinsel she was working on to look at Teri’s own project, the concerned expression turning into a happy one. “Oh, Teri, that’s so pretty!” She said cheerfully. “Do you not like it? We could add something to it like...” She paused, taking a look around the various supplies that were scattered across the table. “Maybe some more glitter?” @terithemuse

[phantcsma]

“Hey! Come on in, I’ll get you a drink.” (luka)

“Do you have any eggnog?” There was a spring in her step as she entered, a white box in her hands. She took a moment to take in her surroundings, admiring the decor before she moved to set the box down on the nearest surface. “I brought food!” She announced, opening the box to reveal a round chocolate cake with powdered sugar sprinkled on top. “You’re not allergic to nuts, are you? It’s a chocolate hazelnut cake. I probably should have asked that before I brought it, huh?” @bluehaircouffaine

[elsafrankenteen]

over her short time on the island elsa had grown accustomed to the fact that humans didn’t share the same dietary habits she and her friends did. the lack of swamp water and bugs in their food slowly stopped alarming her until, eventually, she just learned to accept it. the reluctant acceptance doesn’t stop her from wanting to introduce her friends to the weird foods, and today was no exception. she’d swiped a recipe for mini cakes from the bakery, spending the majority of her afternoon perfecting the little treats for her friends. and now all there was left to do was decorate them. when she hears the familiar humming voice nearby elsa sets the icing down, smile bright as she slowly moves to the living room to find phoebe coming in. “phoebe!” she greets, waving her into the kitchen: “i got something to show you, come on.” @phantcsma

[phantcsma]

phoebe hummed as she came through the door, immediately unzipping her coat. obviously, she didn’t need a coat but she was aware it would look strange if she just didn’t wear one. the last thing she needed was anyone catching onto her ruse. she was about to head for her room to put the coat away when she spotted elsa in the doorway of the kitchen, a grin spreading across her face. she threw her coat over the back of the couch, moving to meet elsa. “ooh, what is it?!” she asked excitedly, beginning to float a few inches off the ground (as she usually did when it was just her and one of the girls).
