blaming all of these on @manyfandomocs for enabling/encouraging me!
1 – Katrina Richmond; Nate Archibald's cousin through their moms, Katrina's mother married a wealthy British man who is, technically, related to the royal family (several generations back, but he will make sure that everyone he talks to knows it). Katrina has had a small acting and music career in the UK, minor roles in some TV shows and a band with one EP, but she and her mother move to Manhattan when Anne Archibald calls her cousin in a panic over her husband's financial issues. Blair Waldorf isn't happy to have another It Girl in town, but competition isn't what Katrina wants from her cousin's girlfriend
2 – Eloise Quinn, we meet her as Carter’s “Long Term, Long Distance, Low Commitment, Casual Girlfriend”, she dates Nate on and off and he might be her endgame (but tbh who doesn't she date), Serena’s cousin. her mom being Lily’s younger sister (she might have lived with it been raised by Cece idk) who moves to New York after Eric’s suicide attempt when Serena is still in Connecticut, little bit feral about him
3 – Olivia Olsen in Pretty Isn’t Pretty (gossip girl 2021), Pageant princess who got a modelling gig and moved to Paris, took a new contract that’s based mainly out of New York – maybe with Eleanor Waldorf – so she’s back in the city for the first time in a couple of years, her parents want her to marry for wealth and status, she’s more interested in getting tipsy and hooking up with Max in the bathrooms at Dumbo Hall, sort of a personality mix between Blair/Audrey and Serena/Julian vibes (very smart queen bee type but also the party girl tabloid/instagram princess)
