Story: Having being brought up in an unstable household, Nino has always had a hard time finding a place to call home. In order to get away from his abusive parents, he moved out at an early age and spent the majority of his adolescence searching for a purpose. It wasnât until his 20â˛s that Nino found the city of Evergreen Harbor â and with it his true calling in life. The passion of the community and the hopefulness of working towards a greener world made Nino a true environmentalist, and heâs spent the last few years putting all of his energy into building a better future.
Creating a home for his community has left Nino with little time to focus on himself, and the reality of wanting a home of his own has eventually caught up to him. He has his heart in the right place and wants the best for everyone, but Ninoâs erratic mood and spontaneous mindset has been known to cause some trouble in the past. He is, however, finally ready to put his insecurities behind him and find a likeminded soul who shares his passion for all things green and creative.
Sophia was born to two loving parents. When she was 10 years old, her mother, a scientist stationed in Strangerville, died due to mysterious circumstances. Since then, Sophia's father, owner of a successful chain of karaoke bars, raised her alone. For the next ten years, the father and daughter lived like royalty. Sophia went to the best schools. She was a cheerleader, the class president, prom queen. She had the latest cars, her own apartment in uni, a black visa card. Everything was perfect... until her father met a young socialite and fell in love instantly. Nevermind that he would be her fifth husband -- they were in love! After a year of marital bliss, her father died under mysterious circumstances, much like the other four ex-husbands before him. "It was a coincidence", people said. But Sophia knew the truth.
And so, she was driven out of their Windenburg home (where her step mother has taken over everything) and moved to San Myshuno to make a living as a rookie detective to eventually uncover the case of her father's death. No one takes her seriously, of course -- I mean, she's blonde, has a side boob tattoo, and her Starbucks order involved the words "skinny", "vanilla", "latte" ! Her mentor says she needs more life experience to develop her detective's gut, but the thing about growing up rich and pampered is that she never needed to develop anything. But Sophia is ready to prove everyone wrong!.. if she could stop impulse buying online and learn how to take the subway system. That's why she wants to join a Bachelorette Challenge, because what's a better way to get to know people (both the positive and negative sides to them) AND gain new experiences than through a BC -- or so she says. "Surely there's a better way", her mentor argues. "Just trust me on this, chief, I've watched like all of The Bachelor", she exclaims.
Random tidbits:
Zodiac Sign: Libra
Favorite Color: Pink
Favorite food: cheesecake, any cheesecake
Favorite season: fall
Sophia has been on her fare share of terrible dates -- the men think she only likes hip-hop to seem cool and the women think she's just going through a phase.
People often write her off as a dumb blonde, but Sophia is actually incredibly perceptive and is quick on her feet. She's just a little gullible, a direct result of her former lavish lifestyle.
She grew up watching classic movies, particularly crime and murder mysteries, with her father. This has upped her gore-tolerance to the max but she'll still flinch when watching ghost movies.
She's also incredibly well read, an interest she picked up from book dates with her mother before she passed away.

Name: Trent Yoshida
Aspiration: Culinary Arts (Essence of Flavor)
Traits: Foodie, Squeamish, and Out-going
Sexuality: Demisexual Panromantic
Story: Trenton was born in Mt. Komorebi to a household with five other sons, him being the sixth and the youngest. All his life heâs been compared to six others who look just like him, along with the fact that theyâre all very successful. His first two brothers are doctors, the third oldest is a lawyer, fourth oldest is a business man, and the second youngest is a snowboarder while Trent wants to... Cook. His parents werenât the happiest about his decisions, so they stated that if Trent wanted to go to culinary school heâd need to pay for it on his own. Queue Trent working for a cafĂŠ, making plenty of friends with the regulars and employees. He always had an easy time chatting with people, and his drinks were the best in the whole shop! Itâs a shame he canât clean the sink... Or the garbage. Everyone has their limit on what they can and canât handle!
His biggest dream is to be a celebrity chef, making amazing dishes and even opening a restaurant if he can. If he could have a lovely person by his side to support his endeavors than heâs more than content with that. Heâs also a tattoo junky and a piercing hoe, which is yet another reason why him and his parents arenât on the best of terms... Traditional families make everything difficult!
The Helton Twins for @chaoticchaiâ âs Izzy Forest!
private DL if chosen! deets down here v v v
Thereâs nothing like a little sibling rivalry to get things moving, and while the Heltons are a close pair, theyâre certainly no exceptions.
Hana and Sawyer Helton are the only children of Paola and Warren Helton. The two have been close all their lives - in fact, when Sawyer moved to Britechester to go to culinary school, Hana took on a personal training job in town so they could still live together. It wasnât intentional that they both took an interest in the eligible Izzy Forest, but if either of them makes it in, the other is sure to be begrudgingly cheering them on from back home.
Sawyer is technically the younger of the two and has always been the milder of the twins, though both are known to be fairly typical extroverts. Sawyer has a deep love for all things food and just finished his last semester of culinary school, making him ready and eager to get out into the world and find himself a kitchen. His dream is to own his own restaurant, but these things come in time.
Sawyer has a warm, gentle heart and loves making people happy. His love language is gifts, and food is one of the main gifts he gives. Breakfast in bed, a nice picnic on the beach, pancakes with a bacon smile. Sawyerâs a patient listener and always makes time for a friend in need. Heâs a great mediator, having gotten plenty of practice softening his sisterâs image, and delights in helping people where he can.
Living with his admittedly messy sister, Sawyer grew to be a tidy man, always quick to put things away and pick up after whoever heâs living with, though he tries not to be obnoxious about it. Though perhaps not as forceful as Hana, Sawyer is the sillier twin and his sense of humour revolves more around puns and goofy jokes. He can be seen most often dancing around the kitchen with loud music on.
Hana is the older twin and refuses to let her brother live it down. Older, taller and, after getting into the bodybuilding scene for a few years, the stronger. But sheâs won her fair share of trophies and has since settled into a career as a gardener and, as needed, landscaper. Hana isnât at all shy, nor is she afraid to throw her weight around. She can seem a bit intimidating at first, but it quickly becomes apparent that she isnât mean so much as certain and honest. The woman does not lack an ounce of confidence, and she makes it a point to bring up other people as well. Sheâs always the first to give someone a compliment, and theyâre always genuine - not to flatter someone, but to have them be seen for who they are by her. Hana has the keen ability to see beauty in everyone.
While sheâs a generally easy-natured individual, Hana loves to adventure and try new things, especially sports or activity related - hiking, rowing, climbing up into some strange mountain or burrowing into a spooky cave, there isnât much sheâll say no to if itâs physical.Â
Hana works out most mornings and her eating habits reflect her schedule. Having a brother in the culinary arts kept her well fed when she was competing. She would love to have a big enough garden to grow her own vegetables, but the balcony of their San Myshuno apartment can only hold so many pots. She can be found most often digging around in a garden somewhere, or earning stares at the gym.
working on creative projects together is the best ice-breaker
prefers exclusive romantic relationships
youngest of a set of triplets , and they def treat him like it
petrichor was signed up for a previous BC on a prank // dare and didnât get in , which is fine (except it hurt his pride) - this time , heâs more interested in actually finding compatibility , though ~ getting turned down kinda made him realize that actually , maybe he might be kinda lonely (or whatever)Â

Terra is a strong girl born and raised in Henford-on-Bagley that lived a pretty active life, surrended by nature and animals. But,  after ending a long 4 year relationship with her first love, she started to find her lifestyle kinda monotonous, missing the nice and warm feeling of cooking for someone she cares. Maybe this is why she decided to give this challenge a go, to see what is beyond her cute and calm country life and meet new people with a funny and adventures personality like Izzy (maybe even relive falling in love again!)  . So donât worry, because behind her thick accent and her slob exterior, she is a good girl with a sweet big heart ready to leave an incredible impression!
