changes with bb and newt
message me if u have any questions!
newt --> guillermo chavez. usually referred to as “gills”
gift of urpihua-chac, incan god of fish and fishery
sophomore
obsessed with fish. talks about them constantly.
he has a goldfish in his room named cousteau. he’s had the fish since he started at EA.
he spends a lot of his free time sitting in water (there’s an above ground pool at his family’s house in cherry). he can be underwater without air for up to ten hours. he usually just sits down there and reads marine biology books (his mom bought a heavy duty laminator so she could make photocopies of his books to read underwater)
if he doesn’t spend enough time in water every day, he has trouble breathing, his skin dries out really bad, and he’s extremely physical drained.
pretty much any time he’s been out of water for more than a couple hours, he gets a really bad cough.
he carries around a walkman and these thick noise cancelling headphones. he listens to the same cassette with ocean sounds all day.
he looks a lot older than he is. even though he’s only fifteen, he grows significant facial hair and he’s six feet tall. people mistake him for a senior a lot.
people honestly think he’s kinda scary-looking - he can blame it on his size and rather intense mug.
bb is his step-sister; his mom is married to her dad
his mom is yessica “yesi” gutierrez. she has the gift of urcaguary, incan god of jewels. she went to EA in the 90s. she dated malik, bb’s dad, for three years before they graduated. they broke up when yesi moved to peru.
guillermo was born in peru. he and his mom moved back to cherry after he was diagnosed with autism when he was four. his dad, aureliano chavez, didn’t come with them. aureliano and yesi were never married. they don’t keep in contact with him save for birthday/christmas gifts.
he and bb are really close. bb is very protective of him.
their parents live in cherry. they usually go home on the weekends.
their parents married when they were both ten.
bb’s full name is now habibi bennett
gift of amala, native american haida god of strength
her dad malik has the gift of mujaji, a lovedu rain god. her mom tasha had the gift of kaiti, the haida bear god. she died when bb was seven.
born and raised in cherry
she wears her hair in braids pretty much always. malik usually does them for her.
she starts dreading them her senior year
bb is also a sophomore. she and guillermo are the same age. guillermo is three months older.
if she’s not in her uniform, she’s almost always in sweatpants/gym shorts/sweatshirts. unless she’s going on a date or too a party - in that case fun pattern button downs are a must.
she loves pretty much any form of martial arts - she likes wrestling and judo the most.
she also follows sports intensely. always participates in fantasy teams.
insanely huge and perfectly organized comic collection in her room at home. it’s funny how organized it is because she’s otherwise a terrible slob.
also collects action figures. all about that mint-status.
she uses ebay a lot. a lot a lot. but they don’t ship to cherry so she has a P.O. box in the closest town..
