I’m leaning toward using the blonde MC for Immortal Desires. @loreofyore’s Callie uses the same sprite as my original ID MC Laurel, and since Callie is already such a well-established character, I’d like my new MC to feel more visually distinct. So I'm starting over for the book club with a new MC: Samantha aka Sammy
Who should be her FC?
First 6 images are Jessica Matarrelli
Second set of 6 images are Emily VanCamp
Jessica fits the sprite better, but I literally have no idea who she is lol. She popped up on my instagram search the other day. Emily I adore.
Nicknames: Buffy (by Cas), little wolf (by her mom), Rip, Rippy, Rimby etc. (by friends)
Age: 18 but turns 19 in book 1
Love interests: Cas and Gabriela
Link to her diary fic where you can find out more about her version of ID: Tumblr Ao3
Other fun facts/hc's:
Her mom's a single mother by choice and had Ripley with the help of a donor (one of her best friends, just a human man, even if he looks more like a vampire than even some Venandi's do, to answer the question about mc's dad that so many have, lol)
She has a dog named Bram Stoker (everyone just calls him Bram though), he looks like a Maltese but is prolly some kinda mix.
Her best friend is called Joy, they've been friends since they were kids and very very briefly dated in their early teens. When Ripley was 16 Joy moved to Florida with her mother but they still keep contact.
She already got picked on sometimes while Joy still lived in Chicago, but the bullying got more out of hand after she left now that Ripley was alone more often and obviously feeling a bit down to begin with. She did have other friends but either downplayed or outright hid the bullying from them or they were the type of people that wouldn't stand up for her and were scared they'd just get hit too.
She's experimented with her gender identity and tried out different pronouns in the past before concluding she's a cis woman.
She can be very naive and just in general isn't always exactly the sharpest tool in the shed.
Can go from 0 to 100 when she feels threathened by someone or when someone suddenly touches her when she's already riled up.
Ripley generally does not lie unless she absolutely has to and even then she's more likely to just avoid the subject rather than having to fabricate an actual lie.
She watches Blades of Light and Shadow (is a show in ID universe) and her fave characters are my mc Rex, Imtura and Mal.
Ripley is surprisingly sporty, at her old school she was part of the wrestling team and she does have a bunch of medals and trophies she's won through the years. Due to everything that went down after the move, she never got the chance to look into joining a team again.
Ripley loves reading werewolf novels but werewolf romance has a 85% chance of getting a bad review from her.
She likes doodling sometimes and does have some oc's of her own though she's not super invested or attached to them.
She's like world's least picky eater.
She loves the way she feels with vampire blood in her system, she tbh kinda treats it like a drug.
Despite that, Ripley has no interest in being turned because she still wants to grow up and live a normal life and start a family of her own eventually.
I def do think she can be a bit of an asshole about her situationships with Cas and Gabriela but I also always imagine especially Cas does not tell her how much she actually hurts him because he thinks it makes him look #pathetic. She def kinda jojo's between feeling guilty for being unable to just choose and actually feeling like They are the problem for expecting her to choose because they just don't Understand.

This is your invitation to an enchanting month of discussion, discovery, and immortal desires. Join us July-September as we explore this captivating story together.
I know Murder at Homecoming was supposed to be next, but that vote was a long time ago, and Immortal Desires seems to be one of the most popular books currently in the fandom, and many people in the Fandom Appreciation event mentioned wanting to read the book, so here we are! More to come soon!
Thanks to @rjschoicesstuff (and maybe more wonderful people) who agreed to help!
I am playing Immortal Desires for the first time with @choicesbookclub. (Apparently, I started a few chapters when it first came out, but I don't remember that at all!)
I don't have a lot of information on Sammy yet, I just made all of this up. I'm sure I'll need to change it a few things as I play!
