[FEMALE, SHE/HER]. Hey, is that [CLAIRE HOLT], no that is just [SELENA FORD] around Baberton. I heard they are [33] years old, and their birthday is [12TH OCTOBER] and they’re [BISEXUAL]. They can mainly be found working at [BABERTON AQUARIUM] and they have been in town [SIXETEEN YEARS]. Some say they are [CREATIVE, PASSIONATE, KIND] and can be [MOODY, STANDOFFISH, LONER]. If you see them around town, clearly they have survived or maybe they are just barely surviving. Either way, Baberton welcomes you! Enjoy your stay.

Bio:

Selena was born in London, raised by her parents alongside her older brother and sister, Peyton and Matt.

She was seven when they went away to Baberton and eleven when Matt was killed in a hit and run in that very town.

Being so much younger than her siblings, it was difficult for her to connect with them on the level she’d have liked - they were always so many more steps ahead of her and they were always at different points of their lives. Then Matt was gone and Peyton was in a haze of depression, still in Baberton hours away from Selena.

Moved to Baberton when she was seventeen. Her parents relocated there to be closer to Peyton and the rest of the family and at the time Selena had been living at home without a job.

She didn’t mind it in Baberton, especially with the killings over and done with. She especially liked the river, the lake and the beach.

Selena has always loved aquatic life and being in and around water, so getting a job at the aquarium just seemed like the most logical next step.

She feels a little set apart from the rest of the Ford family, a little too on the sidelines, a bit left out. She doesn’t like it but it’s just the way it is.

SECRETS:

Witnessed a murder when she was just a kid. She was walking home from gymnastics one day after school and she took a shortcut as it was dark. She saw a woman beaten to death and she fled the scene, too traumatised to say a word. It messed with her mind for years, causing nightmares and anxiety.

Doesn’t always feel connected to people, be it in general or those close to her. Selena always feels on the outside, like she’s in a bubble.

[Male, He/him]. Hey, is that [Timothee Chalamet] , no that is just [Ethan Winters] around Baberton. I heard they are [19] years old, and their birthday is [August 2nd] and they’re [Pansexual]. They can mainly be found working as [Receptionist at the Art Gallery] and they have been in town [6 months]. Some say they are [Loyal, Fun-loving, Friendly] and can be [Possessive, Addictive personality, Rash]. If you see them around town, clearly they have survived or maybe they are just barely surviving. Either way, Baberton welcomes you! Enjoy your stay. 

Bio:

After everything, Xanthe decided she couldn't be in town anymore and while she still loved her friends and would return to see them and help them she moved to London where she had her son. She doesn't even know or really cares who his father was and so he was raised by his mother on her own being her little pride and joy.

Throughout his life, Ethan was a mediocre student he wasn't the best but he wasn't the worst. He mostly was there to be social and he enjoyed that aspect of it. When he graduated at 16 he didn't even consider college and instead immediately went straight to work as a bartender in London.

He moved out of the house with his mum around the same time but stayed close he wanted some semblance of privacy and independence.

At 18 he decided he wanted a new start and gathered his money-making the move to Barberton. He knew people there and he wanted a smaller town vibe over the city and while she didn't like it his mother supported him as long as he promised to be safe and keep his nose out of anything.

He spends most of his nights now in clubs drinking, getting high, and dancing with anyone cute that he tries to bring back to his place. 

Secrets:

Before coming to Barberton he had a boyfriend that was in his fifties. He was a family man with a wife and two kids both older than Ethan but he never saw a problem with it. He also was not going to tell his mother. His boyfriend was the one that paid for his housing and his life even though he told his mom he had a good job as a bartender.

When he asked the man when he was going to leave his wife so they could be together the man turned sour and would yell berate and abuse him. This went on for almost a full year before he almost wound up in the hospital with broken ribs and realized he had to leave immediately going to Barberton thinking the man wouldn't find him there.

He's still worried every day that he's going to be found and drowns his worries in alcohol and drugs. Anyone that might remember Jimmy would recognize the pattern that Ethan is going through though he thinks he hides it well

Bio:

Giovanni was born in Sicily to an underage mother who had no real desire for a child. She had dropped him off on the front steps of a church in the dead of night only four days after birth with a note that was less than pleasant.

The orphanage that the church ran was very poor and was much too overrun with children. It was in the orphanage that at one year old, Giovanni contracted meningitis that resulted in the loss of his hearing. This made his life even harder and he began to throw tantrums which resulted in quite a few punishments. The adults within the orphanage became convinced that they would never find him a home. No one would want him and they labeled him a lost cause. Tristan and Isabel Lewis saw something different though. They saw potential in the little boy and at the age of three, he was adopted and brought home to Baberton.

He has two different colored eyes: one blue and one brown.  

He did not actually begin to speak until around the age of fifteen. He did not feel comfortable in himself. He has an impediment due to his inability to hear. He does, however, speak both English and Italian along with sign language as his first language.

He went to law school and is currently practicing as a lawyer; however he is hoping to climb the ranks. He is never really satisfied and is always wanting to go for the bigger next thing.

He is very openly pessimistic and self critical. He makes many self deprecating comments. Even though he was really young in the orphanage, a lot of what was said about him sunk in. He is his own worst enemy, seeing himself as damaged goods. He remains forever grateful to Isabel and Tristan, but he feels guilty too.

Secrets:

Around the age of sixteen, he began to notice that he did not have feelings for girls in the same way that his friends did. The others would talk so freely about how they found girls attractive but he always found his guy friends much more attractive. He learned to mask though, learned to speak of girls in the same way his friends did. He already sees how much trouble he is and the last thing he needed was to be different by being gay also. He has had multiple girlfriends in attempts to sway his own feelings, but none of the relationships ever seem to stick.

He has recently had contact with his biological father. The man just showed up one day with threats and business demands. He is apparently a big crime lord and that was the real reason his mother gave him up. She knew whether he lived or died: he would be safer far away from this man. He has recently been manipulated into doing illegal things. He is drug dealing for the man even though he really doesn’t want to but he doesn’t want anything bad to happen to his adoptive family. He has to protect them after all the times they have protected him.

He has an OnlyFans on the side. It was how he helped pay for law school and he realized after having it a while that it boosted his confidence and even now he still has it.

Bio:

Born and raised in Paris, France. Her biological mom gave her up for adoption and she was adopted by a very rich couple who were looking to improve their public image. She was thrown to the side though and raised specifically by a nanny. She was pretty spoiled though. She didn't often ask for much but when she asked for anything material she immedietely got it.

She had almost been split from her sister when they were adopting her out as her sister was sick and it was hard to get twins adopted especially when one was sick but she always kicked up the biggest fuss whenever they took her from her sisters side so much so that no parent wanted her on her own to begin with.

With her sister always being sick she felt she couldn't raise too much fuss. Her father told her consistently how lucky they were to have adopted them and how if she acted up then her and her sister would be sent away and without their money her sister wouldn't have the care she needed and she would die and it would be all her fault.

As she grew up she decided she wanted to go into medicine specifically to treat children with chronic illnesses. She appreciates everyone who helped her sister and feels it's her duty to give back to them.

When Kadence came to Barberton she followed though she didn't care about meeting their parents. She just wanted to be sure her sister was okay and she still hates being away from her to this day.

Secrets:

She has never learned to say no to anyone. She learned it was her job to make people happy and help them and so she always agrees to anything anyone asks of her.

Around the time she was 5 her father started coming home around lunch time without letting anyone know and bringing her to his room. It was just little things at first. Cuddling her telling her she was special before he started touching her and having her touch him. When she tried to refuse that's when he made it known to her her sister would die if she told anyone about this and at about 8 years old he had progressed to fully raping his daughter for the next 6 years of her life she found it easier to give in than to say no.

During that time she grew depressed and while she couldn't tell anyone she found herself releasing her pain by cutting and still does so when she feels all the thoughts in her head getting jumbled up and too much to handle.

She was always a mommy’s girl, she loved her father she did but she was always closer to Chloe.

She got good grades and school, she was a bit of a nerd and helped Allie with her homework and such. She even took a few test for her when Allie couldn’t be bothered.

When everyone thought that Allie was just missing or off to college, Bailey knew it was more. She could feel it like it was twin sense going off. Once they found her body, it just confirmed what Bailey was feelings and she hasn’t felt the same since.

Now she does the best she can to even make it through her day, between the stares and the whispers of her being Allie Ramsey-Pierce’s twin sister.

Posed as Allie once and that day was one of the best days that she had because she got whatever she wanted, from her father, Allie’s boyfriend at the time and her friends.

She hid Allie’s journals and blogs, ect from the police and even her own parents because she knew that they would probably crush them. And that was the last thing that she wanted.

Unlike Allie, Bailey wasn’t that interested in Annie but she was always interested in Daisey Ramsey, the first killer of Baberton. She knew that she couldn’t ask her mother or father so she started to look into Daisy on her own.

During college she met a man named Cameron Harrow, he was older then her by seven years but also very charming and she fell for him. After she graduated she got a job at the local hospital all while dating Cameron still.

They had been together for two years and that was when the abuse and him trying to control her started. Cameron popped the question in front of all of their family and friends. Which backed her into a corner and she said yes. Hoping that would change him but it didn’t.

As time went on she found herself isolated from her old friends and even her family because of Cameron. She also quit her job because he insisted that she did. And she didn’t want to anger him because it seemed like the smallest thing set him off. 

During the last fight that the two of them had, Cameron beat her pretty good, breaking a couple of her ribs and her face was all black and blue. She ended up losing the baby that she had no idea that she was even pregnant with.

After that, Nicole made the decision to leave for good. Before this went down, Nicole had hired a private investigator to look into her birth mother. She had no idea who the woman was, and all the investigator found out was that she was from a town named Baberton.

So when Nicole left Cameron that is where she went to, she ended up deleting her social medias, got rid of her old phone, anything that Cameron could use to track her down.

Her brother Adam, ended up finding her and she told him everything that Cameron had done. He ended up moving into her building to protect her and she does feel safer with Adam around.

It wasn’t until after Ella was outed as the final serial killer that she came to Baberton. She wanted to be there for her friend and she was looking for a fresh start.

She went to college to become a psychologist with a focus on children and young adults, more often than not those in the foster system because she knows what it’s like and wants to help wherever she can.

Secrets:

Slept with Maggie during the night of Maggie’s bachelorette party. She feels kind of bad but she doesn’t altogether regret it.

Knows about the baby that was stolen from Maggie during her kidnapping ordeal many years ago now.

Was stalked throughout high school by one of her former foster brothers. Things went back to normal when he disappeared and Laurel doesn’t like to talk about it. Particularly because she’s the one who killed him during a kidnapping attempt, pushing his body down over a cliff into the ocean, never to be seen again.

[FEMALE, SHE/HER]. Hey, is that [MAGGIE SIFF], no that is just [VIVIENNE DARCY] around Baberton. I heard they are [44] years old, and their birthday is [AUGUST 9TH] and they’re [HETEROSEXUAL]. They can mainly be found working as [UNEMPLOYED] and they have been in town [TWENTY-THREE YEARS]. Some say they are [CARING, STRONG, HAPPY] and can be [SPOILED, BOSSY, CAREFUL]. If you see them around town, clearly they have survived or maybe they are just barely surviving. Either way, Baberton welcomes you! Enjoy your stay.

Bio:

Married Will after a whirlwind romance after the pair were introduced and decided that the arranged marriage wasn’t a bad idea after all.

Had their daughter Elizabeth after a very high risk pregnancy and birth due to her bleeding disorder.

Vivienne found out she couldn’t have any more children soon after this and she and Will spoiled their daughter like mad. They would probably have spoiled her anyway but it was definitely magnified by finding out Vivienne couldn’t have more children.

Is pretty much a trophy wife and really spends most of her time redecorating the house, shopping, or other various hobbies and activities. The way of life suits her as she’s still worried about the hemophilia and getting hurt.

Secrets:

Never told Will about her imaginary friend, though over time Yasmin sort of disappeared. Maybe due to having more to keep her mind occupied now, a family and a new life. However, the last year or so, Vivienne has been seeing Yasmin again and it’s mostly causing her more stress -- though it can be nice to talk to someone about the things she can’t say out loud to anyone else.

Stresses inwardly a lot about dying early. It’s very possible with hemophilia that her life expectancy could be much shorter than anyone would hope and she’s scared from all the online reading she’s done over the years that she’ll die by 65, maybe even long before.
