hello, hello! it’s rain, out here bringing you the newest loml, evangeline cade. she is 21, she’s a taurus, and she is the hierophant. if that’s not enough info to tell you everything about her, pls click the readmore and delve into her mind.
being the daughter of a man whose power and influence rivaled the local government, evangeline’s life has been meticulously planned out since before she was born. she’s going to be a pianist, her mother cooed to a dozen strangers at a social gathering, her hand absently stroking her swollen baby bump as she envisioned her daughter’s future. she’s going to be fluent in at least three languages, her father beamed, his arm wrapped dotingly around his wife’s shoulders as he prattled on.
when she was only six months old, her parents decided to exclusively speak to her in french. her third birthday was celebrated with a brand new piano being placed in her room while she’d been at daycare. you see, evangeline has never had the opportunity to not be precisely who her parents wanted her to be. the idea to rebel, to do something outside of their expectations? it’s never crossed her mind.
or... it hadn’t, at least, until her first kiss. the girl was everything evangeline stood against; she was the definition of the wrong side of the tracks. they were only fourteen, and yet the other girl tasted of cigarette smoke and the faintest bitterness of alcohol, her lips had been tainted by curse words evangeline swore to never utter. and worse than anything else, she was another girl. the laws of the holy book had been burned into her mind since the day she was born; she knew how many things in this equation were wrong. and yet, it somehow felt like the only good decision she’d ever made.
ever since that fateful day, evangeline has (begrudgingly) known of her attraction to women, although she won’t acknowledge it publicly. those are relationships kept in the dark, in the shadows. maybe some day she’ll find the courage to be okay with it.
though she tries not to, she has a very holier-than-thou attitude. it’s been ingrained in her, the idea that her family is somehow superior to the others of somerville due to her father’s position as the head of the church. her words carried nearly as much weight as his own among her peers, leaving the girl to weigh everything she said fifty times over before saying anything at all. it’s almost an unbearable way to live, knowing how much meaning people will derive from a single sentence you speak. it crushes your spirit.
canon connections!:
- the high priestess - best friend; the two of you have known each other for as long as you can remember. and for as long as you can remember, you’ve been trying to show them the light that Faith will bring. you remained friends in spite of your differing opinions on the church, sure, but now that they’ve finally come around it’s like the final piece of the puzzle has fallen into place. now your friendship can reach its full potential.
- the devil - enemy; you don’t understand what they get out of mocking you. you do your best not to react, and still it feels like every day. you can’t be bothered to ask them why, especially when you don’t care to know their opinion on anything since the day they desecrated roses.
- the tower - family friend; you remember playdates as children, stuffy and proper in the way you interacted with each other. you remember the barbecues and the holidays spent at one anothers’ homes, laughter and secrets passed between you like you were the only kids in the world. you still maintain that bond, confiding in each other in times of distress and excitement. you trust them completely.
wanted connections!:
- a secret hookup - eva is pansexual, though she won’t tell anyone that. i think it would be fun to have someone she sees in secret and is lowkey like... ashamed of because of her religious upbringing.
- a bad influence - someone who tries to make her less uptight and wound up. no guarantees it’ll actually happen, but it’ll be fun to watch.
- anything we can think of!!!
hi friends!! i’m kendall, i’m 21, my pronouns are she/her, and i’m in the est!! i’m excited to share my little stormcloud baby with you all :) all her info will be under the cut!!
the basics --
- jude catherine ashford // the fool
- 20
- junior
- reynolds house
- anthropology major
background --
( this is very much the abridged version. if u wanna read my monster bio and all the other in-depth info on jude, i’m linking that google doc here! it’s long as hell but it’s ~fun~ )
- jude grew up in florence, oregon as member of what many would call a cult, but she always knew as a new religious movement. it was here that she suffered abuse at the hand of her father - the leader of the group. her mother wasn’t entirely fond of her, either. her only friend was a girl her age named kit. she does not discuss her childhood with most people.
- when she was fifteen, she befriended a trespassing teenager named isaac who taught her about the outside world. kit notably disapproved. after a while of sneaking jude out into the city every few nights, isaac offered to run away with her, for real. jude extended the offer to kit, thinking that the three of them could go together, but kit didn’t want to hear it. the two of them fought, and jude ended up leaving without her. it’s one of her biggest regrets.
- she and isaac made it about three months before things started to go horribly wrong. they ran out of money quickly and this is where jude picked up her talent of stealing. she learned from watching others, and is an effective pickpocket because of it. keys, money, credit cards, drugs, she could take it all. even though she tried to adapt, isaac was dissatisfied, and eventually, he left her. she doesn’t know what she did wrong, but he had started to become irritable and they fought often. he seemed bored, as if he had been expecting a different ending to their adventure.
- left alone, with no money, few belongings, and extremely limited knowledge of the world around her, jude experienced roughly a year of true homelessness. it’s one of the darkest times of her life, but she feels stronger for it. she bounced around from place to place, never staying in one area too long. she still wanted to see the world, after all. that was the whole point of leaving in the first place.
- when she was seventeen she landed in somerville and she met a man named ralph murray. ralph, a deacon at roses, spoke to jude at a diner and decided to invite her to stay with him for a bit. her indefinite stay kept getting extended as the pair grew more attached to each other. jude had never had anyone like ralph in her life, an almost father figure that actually cared for her wellbeing. eventually they decided that he would be her guardian permanently.
- he got her into st. cade’s, where she studies anthropology (she still has that thirst for knowledge about people, how societies function). she goes to church with him, although she doesn’t believe in any of it. she’s merely grateful for everything they’ve done for her. still, though, she feels like something is missing in her life. she wants more, and feels guilty for wanting more, but wants it nonetheless.
- jude is curious about helena’s disappearance since, as far as she knows, that sort of thing just doesn’t happen here. she wants to do everything she can to help find out what happened because, even though it’s selfish, she thinks that succeeding in that might be her ticket out of somerville.
personality --
- adaptive, empathetic, observant, determined. cunning, curious, blunt, emotional. insecure, sarcastic, selfish, irritable.
- a scorpio bb
- jude is something of an extroverted introvert. she needs interaction and affection, but also needs time alone to recharge. left alone for too long, though, and she starts to spiral. she’s a bit of a partier, because it helps her relax and takes the edge off of her somewhat troubling thoughts.
- jude walks a fine line between wearing her heart on her sleeve and keeping it locked in a box. her emotions are clearly written all over her face, but she’ll never admit to what she feels unless she’s extremely comfortable with you. she hates conflict and avoids it at all costs, but this comes at the price of internalizing everything. day to day, though, she offers a dry, sarcastic sense of humor and an authentic sense of self. she tries her hardest to be happy, or at least content, and it’s easiest for her to get there when she’s with people she cares about.

connections --
aside from her cannon connections, here are some connections i’d love to fill for her!
- one night stand or other past (or even current?) hookups: a bitch craves intimacy.
- study buddy: she’s not the best student, but she’s trying her hardest to prove herself. she most definitely needs help with some of her classes.
- a plug: she’s gotta get the goods from somewhere.
- party friend(s): she’s not so much a “dancing on tables” partier as much as a “sit on the couch with a bong and watch other people dance on tables” partier. but, of course, with the right things in her system and the right people around her, behaviors can change. she’s certainly no stranger to running from the cops.
- skating buddy: she do be a sk8ter girl.
- enemies: did she steal something from you? does her “mysterious past” act rub you the wrong way? maybe she said something really rude to you, just completely out of pocket! there are a million reasons to hate her, go crazy!
- literally anything you can think of. i want it all!!

TAROT ━
the tower represents chaos , destruction , & upheaval. this change is usually sudden & unexpected -- & not always good. the tower itself is a symbol of ambition , but in this card we see it built on faulty premises & false beliefs , all of which are no longer useful.
the ruin of the tower is inevitable -- necessary for growth & groundbreaking renewal. it’s time to break out of the old ways.
AESTHETICS ━
cracked asphalt , bloody knuckles , tangerine sunsets. the smell of freshly cut grass . still , slow mornings. a neat row of fire ants , climbing up your bedroom wall. broken stained glass , an overgrown field. tears of laughter , the only you’ll ever shed.
money in a yellow envelope , guilt in your eyes , pressed flowers , a string quartet , corruption , loss of morals , student debt , a yellow light , darkness , hellfire.
THOUGHTS ━
" you’ve got your orders & that’s enough. you don’t know who’s telling you to throw your classmates off the scent , but you’re getting paid to do it. maybe your moral compass would stop you if you didn’t struggle so much in the financial department , but hey. you’re doing what you have to do to survive. if only you didn’t have to go against your better judgment for it. "
GENERAL ━
assigned to REYNOLDS house
fourth year -- senior .
currently working at the corner store as a cashier .
scholarship student -- 2.3 average gpa .
athlete , st. cade’s lacrosse team .
BACKGROUND ━
grew up in a small town in arizona , in one of those unfinished suburbs that ran out of funding halfway through a government project to “ upgrade ” that was met with widespread disapproval. it’s all empty pools & dirt lawns , a patchwork neighborhood of old houses mixed in with the new.
former golden boy who peaked in high school : star athlete , prom king , voted best smile. eternally toeing the line between CHAMPION & DIRTBAG.
well - liked , but known for being something of a hell - raiser. out every night , hungover every morning. it was less obvious back then -- he could easily brush it off as simple youthful rebellion , rather than a real personality defect.
his first taste of alcohol was in seventh grade. a summer night , with the sun retiring for the day but leaving her kiss on the still - warm pavement. his world -- previously filled with sunday school , tense family dinners , & 24 hour marathons of professional passive aggression , was forever changed. finally , the boredom slipped away. & not just that ! this was actually FUN.
but for someone with zero impulse control . . . a door opened , & he never managed to close it.
from a young age , his parents were always involved in the church. they attended every sunday , no excuses.
this lapsed as the years passed & the amante family found it more & more unpleasant to be in the same room together , but his parent’s beliefs never wavered. religion was used as a weapon in their home -- to shame & guilt. they claimed love , preached tolerance. what they practiced , however , was the opposite. as he grew older , julian managed to weasel his way out of most of their theological outings. he gained some freedom , in addition to the ire of his family. their disappointment in him grew from a tiny acorn to a mighty oak.
his parents had their own issues , long before julian came along. a marriage between two irreconcilable people. the love they should have shared mutated into something twisted , something that they could give only to their son. it was enough for them to feed him , clothe him , & put a roof over his head. anything else was simply asking too much.
despite coming from a low - income family , things have never been particularly DIFFICULT for him. sure , they struggled. he’s lost count of the times the power got shut off , or the water. but julian was the type of kid who could charm teachers into bumping his grade up to a 71% , despite the dozens of half - finished assignments & failed tests. he didn’t really have to try -- they just wanted to help him. ( pity , perhaps ? he turns a blind eye )
he coasted through school. one of those natural athletes that coaches & admin treat like celebrities , focusing all their attention on a teenager they have high hopes for. higher hopes than he had for himself , in fact.
julian never had dreams , not a plan for his future. all that stubborn arrogance fooled them : he’s spent the better part of the past seven years stalling. cutting corners & taking shortcuts , desperately avoiding reality.
he never expected to even leave his hometown , let along attend a prestigious college on a full ride lacrosse scholarship. somehow , he played enough games & passed enough classes to qualify for an opportunity that would pluck him from his sad , tragic storyline & deposit him on a shiny path to success. a fresh start.
he didn’t want to go. fought endlessly about it with his parents , his friends , himself. his place wasn’t at some hoity - toity school , surrounded by do - gooders & the conscientious. julian may have a knack for delusion , for spinning a story that suits him in whatever moment is passing. but he’s smart enough knows what his future holds : drinking himself to an early death in the very house he was born in. you can’t fight fate -- but you can surely postpone it.
in the end , it’s the boredom that convinces him. he’s said & done just about everything he can here , exhausted all the options he cares to consider. made plenty of enemies , as well as friends. built & burnt bridges.
the expectation of his teachers , his parents , were choking him. it’s foolish to think that this might be the way out – he’ll never change. but why not have some fun , while he’s still here ?
st.cade’s was a treasure trove for julian , filled with endless opportunities to amuse himself. despite his placement in reynold’s house & the mandatory church shit ( a part of his scholarship’s stipulations ) , it hasn’t been bad. another social scene for him to invade , conquests to be had , fights to provoke. the first few years were amazing : an intoxicated blur of his own little slice of this world.
he lives in the moment , greedily gathering every experience he can. nodding off in class , smoking behind the greenhouse , collecting all the free alcohol he manages to sniff out.
he’s learned this : a loud laugh & bravado can get you far. but now , his actions have finally caught up with him. the school is threatening to terminate his scholarship , to pack up his bags & send him on the first train home. & while he has no idea what to do , he knows he can’t go back. god , no.
even without what’s keeping him – the enticing mystery of helena’s disappearance , his friends , his freedom. he just can’t stand to go in reverse ; it would mean facing the consequences of every mistake he’s ever made ( & there are quite a few ! )
he’s a shark – he has to keep moving.
that first letter came soon after the school - wide assembly. small , neat type. direct. there was no mincing words , the sender made it perfectly clear : this is his only option. if he wants to maintain this lifestyle , this is the way. so he burns the letters , following their instructions. almost relieved to be given direction. it’s a respite in the current disarray – something he used to enjoy , but now just feels exhausting. he’s the band , humming away as the titanic sinks. not my business , he thinks. but he’ll drown all the same.
PERSONALITY ━
he’s an asshole but a F U N asshole -- that makes it palatable , right ??
not a dumbass , but the lack of impulse control + arrogance could have fooled me ! his intelligence is only hinted at , invisible unless you’re looking : reciting keats from memory , listing off all 79 of jupiter’s moons. remnants of past & fleeting obsessions.
has to actively undermine his own common sense -- for the laughs , of course !
selfish ; his needs & wants come before anyone else’s. a childish habit , yes , but one he’s been unable to break. ( not that he’s tried )
vacillates between aloof & dramatic. you can count on him to stir some shit up -- he adores chaos & just can’t keep his mouth shut. petty , to a fault.
he’s hot - shit & he knows it ; well aware of his pretty face & statuesque build. julian’s never been afraid of using it to his advantage , or even just reminding anyone around him of just how cute he is. ( listen up 5′s , a 10 is speaking ! )
has a strong aversion to authority. “ don’t tell me what to do ! ” . . . * quietly takes your advice when you’re not looking * . . .
the good parts of him are buried deep. his loyalty , his gentleness. a warm heart that can easily empathize , but chooses not to. julians pursuit of superficial gratification blinds him , warping his reflection like a funhouse mirror.
aggressive & unrelenting. this could be channeled into something of a work ethic , if he cared enough. instead , he uses it to get what he wants. whatever that might be.
curious as a cat with nine lives , he won’t hesitate to ask the question everyone’s thinking. that bluntness is almost appealing , as long as it’s not directed at you. this makes him somewhat of a good listener , even if he’s only paying attention to satisfy his own nosiness.
he’ll literally fight for the ones he loves. there aren’t many of them , but the sentiment stands. years of sports have taught him the value of teamwork , & he has yet to shake it. once you endear yourself to him , there’s no going back.
despite everything , julian manages to be a charismatic little firebrand. he’ll guarantee a good time , he just won’t help clean up the mess.
FUN FACTS ━
can fit his entire fist in his mouth
has The Loudest Sneeze Of All Time
once bit into an apple n saw a WORM inside so now he hates apples w a passion
right handed , but taught himself to be ambidextrous during the summer between fifth & sixth grade
promptly forgot he was ambidextrous & never uses his left hand
has surprisingly neat handwriting
can fall asleep ANYWHERE
likes country music ( will never admit it , tho )
his mother used to read him poetry , so he’s lowkey Very Into It
can’t carry a tune for shit , & his impressions are a w f u l. his british accent is just a cheap dick van dyke imitation , & his australian accent is what the british one SHOULD be

the biography:
lanie’s entrance into the world was a chaotic one. a storm blew threw the town and knocked down trees and power lines. roads were blocked and piled up and lanie was born in the backseat of the family car.
as a child she was pretty quiet and kept to herself for the most part. she didn’t have a lot of friends and she was really okay with that. she liked playing with the people she made up and the younger neighbor kids. she didn’t care if the kids in her class called her weird and didn’t play with her at recess or sit with her at lunch.
her home life was not very ideal. her father cheated on her mother on more than one occasion and though he tried to keep it a secret, the whole town knew. her mother knew, of course, but she still loved him and hated the idea of being alone. neither of them believed in divorce, so they stayed unhappily married. lanie swore she would never live like that. she hated the idea of living a lie for all of her life.
as she got older, she came out of her shell. she spent her middle school years joining clubs and sports and made friends with all types of people. she wasn’t necessarily popular, but she was that girl that everyone knew in some way.
she still thinks high school was the best years of her life. she had such a good time, and honestly a little too much fun. she spent her days studying and doing homework and spent her nights sneaking out her bedroom window to go to parties or to meet boys to kiss in the backseat of a car.
she was actually a really good student, as well. she made straight As and always had high test scores. she ended up graduating the first semester of senior year and started college the following spring semester.
her relationship with THE STAR was a complicated one. for the longest time, she loved him so much. the relationship was everything she dreamed of and more. it was healthy and nothing like her parents. as time went on, things got a little worse. they would fight and make up and break up and get back together. that was their typical cycle for the longest time. their last fight was the breaking point, however. lanie couldn’t take anymore of the back and forth. it broke her heart that the person she once loved the most was now someone she hated.
she found out she was pregnant just less than a month after the breakup and she really didn’t know what to do. it was an internal struggle for the longest time, but she couldn’t keep it secret forever. she told evangeline first and somehow her best friend convinced her to join the church she had been skeptical of her whole life. she never felt a connection to god before, but being pregnant gave her a whole new perspective on life. she still doesn’t trust the church completely, but she thinks they mean well.
through all of this, she really became close with JUSTICE. they were the person who was there for her through the hell she went through in her relationship with THE STAR. she fell in love with them and it almost felt a little selfish. now with helena missing, who was such a sweet person, she doesn’t want to hurt them anymore than they’re hurting already. more than anything, she doesn’t want this relationship to end the same way her last one did.
the thoughts:
YOU JUST WANT WHAT’S BEST FOR YOUR BABY. AND ACCORDING TO THE HIEROPHANT, THAT MEANT JOINING ROSE’S THE SECOND YOU FOUND OUT YOU WERE PREGNANT. SO FAR YOU HAVE NO COMPLAINTS — EVERYONE IS INVOLVED IN YOUR LIFE, PREPARING YOU FOR WHEN YOUR SPECIAL DAY COMES, INVESTED IN THE WAY YOU LIVE. IF ANYTHING, YOU COULD ALMOST SAY THEY LOVED YOU TOO MUCH, TRIED TO HELP YOU TOO OFTEN. AFTER ALL, THERE’S A FINE LINE BETWEEN BUYING YOU DIAPERS AND GIVING YOU A STRICT MEAL PLAN YOU CAN’T STRAY FROM. IT’S OVERBEARING, YES, BUT THEY JUST WANT YOU TO HAVE THE BEST, AND YOU’RE NOT USED TO THAT. SO YOU’LL TRY YOUR BEST NOT TO BUCKLE UNDER THEIR PRESSURE.
the connections:
THE HIEROPHANT - BEST FRIEND; IN ALL THE TIME YOU’VE KNOWN THEM, YOU WERE UNSURE OF DRINKING THEIR KOOLAID. NOTHING COULD BE AS PERFECT AS THEY CLAIMED IT TO BE — NOT RELIGION OR PEOPLE OR ANYTHING ELSE — BUT YOU’RE BEGINNING TO DOUBT YOURSELF. IT MAY TURN OUT TO BE CLOSER TO PERFECTION THAN YOU THOUGHT.

THE STAR - EX; THEY’RE THE FATHER TO YOUR CHILD, SO YOU AREN’T SURE IF YOU CAN EVER HATE THEM AS MUCH AS YOU WISH YOU COULD. IT ENDED BADLY — VERY BADLY — BUT YOU WANT YOUR CHILD TO GROW UP WITH BOTH OF THEIR PARENTS. EVEN IF YOU CAN’T STAND THEIR GUTS.

WHEN YOU WERE PANICKING ABOUT OFFICIALLY BEING BROKEN UP, ABOUT RAISING YOUR BABY ALONE, THEY WERE THERE FOR YOU. IT ONLY FELT NATURAL TO TAKE THIS STEP, BUT SOMETHING JUST FEELS OFF.
