Follow an artist or band they love on tour all over the globe, someone they know puts on a great show. Arcade Fire, Sufjan Stevens, Kanye West--someone similar.
Visit Paris, check out the art museums there--a childish, wistful want, but one thatās important to them.
Get their high school diploma/GED, but thatās a secret.
Learn another language--something cool, preferably. They feel a little stunted, especially because in Europe almost everybody knows two or more languages.
Be able to live well off selling their art--not just getting a couple hundred bucks every now and again for selling a painting, or trading a painting for some weed. But actually being able to live and sustain themselves off commission work, with maybe some extra to spare.
Find new people to callĀ āfamily.ā
Go shopping at Harrodās, and actually be able to buy something on their designer floor.
Get commissioned to do an album cover for a band they love.
Go to every major music festival, but mostly, Glastonbury.
Get some closure in regards to their parents--find out more about their mother, or find out who their father is. Theyāre more invested in their mother and generally donāt care about their father or what heās doing, but it would also be nice to know who he was.
Ā Ā Ā Ā You know all those things youāve always wanted to do?Ā
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā You should go do them.
Before I die, I want to:
Get married on her motherās dress: Despite the hard exterior and the constant struggle with her own feelings and the way she prefers to avoid them, she knows her mother more than anything wanted her to live the life she couldnāt, she wanted her to find the person that made her feel complete. And the day it happens, she wants to feel her mother as close to her as possible.
Change someoneās life:Ā āBe the change you want to seeā Johanna is certain if she changes one life, if she makes one personās life worth it, she will be redeemed and everything she went through will be worth it.
Own a record label:Ā āI want to produce musicā What else is there to say?
Send her ex-boyfriend to jail: He made her life miserable. Constantly putting her through physical and emotional pain and although she has forgive him for it, she still knows someone out there is going through the same she did thanks to him, and wants that chain to break.
Find her brother: Classic story: Mean father and submissive mother, a teen gets tired and runs away. Except she never knew something from him ever again, and is not even sure he knows about the tragedy. So she wants to reunite with him and stay in contact, she wants her family (or at least the part she doesnāt despise) to get back together.
Go back to school: Whilst she is sure of the career path she choose and where she wants her life to head to, Johanna still wants to enrol on college and graduate some day. Maybe pick up the music career she left on hold after her mother passed away.
FindĀ āThe oneā: Self explanatory. After all, Jo is a human and all she wants is to feel loved and protected.Ā
Discover what really happened to her mother: Johanna knows something is off about her motherās death, something feels wrong. Hence, before she dies, she has to find out what exactly happened, since she is certain in involves her father.
Make her sister feel proud: Her sister is the most important thing in the world to Johanna. Now that her mother is out of the picture and she does not care about her fatherās opinion, Elizabeth is the only person in the world she feels she owns something to.Ā
Own a house: Quite self-explanatory. Get a legacy, a place for herself where she can go to whenever things get rocky.
Come clean to her father: That relationship is already doomed to hell from both parts from the moment Robert first saw Johanna, always pulling her down and mistreating her, especially after her motherās death, it is imperative on her bucket list to be able to have a discussion with her father when she can finally tell him everything she feels and finally move on.Ā
Become a respected DJ: Especially because of the pressure her father put her through on the early stage of her life, she needs to become a respected and celebrated person to redeem herself.
Visit at least one country on every continent: Johannaās passion in life (besides music) is discovering new cultures and trying new things, hence it is no surprise that one of her to-do things involves traveling around the world.
Live in Greece: It is one of her favourite cities, she found herself and the her power within on her first trip to Greece, hence, the fondness she has towards this city.
Adopt a pet: It is well known that Johanna is a tad hesitant when talking about forming a family with kids involved, hence I believe a pet is the closest thing she would get of having a child in a long time.Ā
Travel to Thailand: From the moment she ate at her first Thai restaurant and saw pictures of the beautiful land hanging on the walls, she knew this was the one place that she absolutely had to visit before she died. Ā She has yet to go there to this day, but come hell or high water, she will get herself there someday.
Be more open: Though the thought of opening up to people is scarier to her than even failing and spiders are, she doesnāt want to spend the rest of her life afraid to let someone see all parts of her, even the parts that sheās ashamed of (of course sheāll deny sheās ashamed of anything, but thatās a lie) because that can be a lonely life and she has no desire to live that way forever.
Meet her half-sister: This is something Vik knows is likely to never happen, not unless her half-sister seeks her out, but that doesnāt stop her from foolishly wishing for it. Ā She doesnāt know why it matters to her so much, but it does and sheād be lying if she said that it wouldnāt really hurt her to die never having met her.
Buy a home in Bulgaria: While she only lived in Bulgaria for five years and was raised in California, she travels to Bulgaria every summer to visit her family and it is the place she considers to be her real home. Though she doesnāt live there now, she plans to live there one day, probably after sheās sold her club and retired. Ā Still, it would be nice to have a home there that she could go to whenever she needs an escape from Darlington.Ā
Buy a vacation home: What Viktoriya would love to have within a few years time is a vacation home, not one in Italy or France, but in Argentina or Albania or Portugal. Ā As much as she loves Darlington and loves visiting her grandparents, she would love to have a place to go when she needs an escape from reality.Ā
Go camping: Despite not being the most outdoorsy person, Viktoriya would love to go camping because itās something she has yet to do in all her twenty-six years and she thinks itās something everyone should do at least once in their lifetime.Ā
Forgive her father: Ā If anyone asks, sheāll tell them that she doesnāt care anymore that her father left all those years ago, but those rare few who really know her can see past that lie. Ā Sheād like to think that sheās forgiven him, but she hasnāt because sheās still harboring some of that hate and resentment from when she was a teenager. Ā She hopes someday that she can get past this and truly forgive him, not so much for him but for herself.Ā
Mend her relationship with her mother:Ā Something that really nags at her is her relationship with her mom. Ā Once upon a time, she turned to her mother for everything, but that was before her dad left and before wine became her motherās best friend. Ā While sheās forgiven her mom for tapping out of her life for so many years, they still donāt get along the way they used to. Ā She just hopes that one day all the bad can be left in the past and their relationship can be stronger than it ever was.Ā
Go to Niagara Falls:Ā Sheās seen the waterfalls in pictures and heard from others how beautiful it is, so sheād really like to see them for herself one day.Ā
Win a game of Monopoly: This might seem like the dumbest thing to have on a bucket list, but it is absolutely frustrating playing a game for hours on end and never truly winning and Viktoriya wants nothing more than to actually beat this stupid board game at least once. Ā
Learn to Hula dance in Hawaii:Ā Really, this would kill two birds with one stone because sheās never been to Hawaii and has always wanted to go and hula dancing is something sheās wanted to learn from professionals since she was about ten or eleven years old.Ā
Learn another language: Sheās fluent in English and Bulgarian and also speaks decent Spanish, but she would love to be more fluent in Spanish and learn how to speak Italian because she thinks both languages are beautiful.
Physical appearance: Chuck is tall and kind of lanky.
Strange or unique physical attributes: Three tattoos--one on his hand, one on his neck, and one on his forearm. No scars or other unique attributes.

Defining gestures/movements (i.e., curling his or her lip when he or she speaks, always keeping his or her eyes on the ground, etc.): Sometimes he shifts his eyes or looks away from someone, generally only when heās nervous though.

Nothing exciting or crazy about Chuckās family; theyāre pretty down to earth.
Deepest, darkest secret: His bipolar diagnosis. Some people know, such as his roommate, but generally Chuck keeps this information to himself.
Reason he or she kept this secret for so long: He doesnāt want anyone feeling sorry for him or looking at him differently.

Political views:Ā Socially and Fiscally liberal. Votes Labour or Liberal Democrat, Labour more generally than not, though. He definitely regrets his last Lib-Dem vote in the last general election. Often jokes than if he was just a little further north heād probably be voting for the Scottish National Party. Generally Chuck is a guy who leans on the left side of the political spectrum. Supports Scottish Independence and Britain remaining in the EU; apathetic regarding the future of the monarchy while opposing privatization of the NHS.

Physical health: Chuckās physical health is great. He has no known allergies and is in generally good health. He does suffer from bipolar disorder (type one), diagnosed when he was seventeen.

Description of his or her house: Itās a general two bedroom apartment that he shares with a roommate. It has all the essentials and itās generally pretty well taken care of.
