Mariana “Mari” Walton

 [[ hello everyone!! under the cut you’ll find mari’s bio! this little spitfire is ready for just about anything ]]

Skeleton: The Loose Canon

Name: Mariana “Mari” Walton

Age: 21

University major: International Relations

Gender: Bisexual

Pronouns: She/Her

Faceclaim: Madelaine Petsch

Background:

Some would say Mari was born with a silver spoon dangling from her rosy lips. Mari would disagree and say she had that silver spoon gripped in her little fist, refusing to give it up without a fight. Growing up being the heiress to the Walton Distillery, she had every privilege imaginable wrapped around her pinky finger. But she never wanted to simply take what was offered - she wanted to make it hers.

As a young teen, Mari would always fill her time with something, anything, everything. Being an only child, it wasn’t as if she had much to do. Their “cottage” as her parents so generously love to call their sprawling estate, was too far away for any playmates. Mr. and Mrs. Walton were always too busy with meetings and business trips to give more than five minutes of attention and a weekly cash check to their daughter. She only ever found solace in reading. She never told her middle school friends about this because God forbid anyone thought she was boring. 

High school was definitely a turning point for Mari’s life. She finally left petty middle school cliques and welcomed herself into pettier high school politics. Mari filled her time with cheerleading, fencing, women’s soccer, AP classes, student council work, volunteering, and lots of partying. She never really had just one group of friends because she’d drop people as easily as the leaves in Fall. This just meant that half the school still wanted to be her friend while the other half silently resented her. Mari couldn't have cared less. 

Senior year in high school landed Mari in the ER after a little “accident” The exams, volunteering, contests, and the partying were starting to catch up with her. Long story short,she woke up in the ER and was surprised that not even her parents were there. They just sent a text, “Disappointed in you. Do better, please. Everything else is handled. Don’t worry,”. Her parents weren’t there when she skinned her elbows and knees as a kid, they still weren’t there when she was lying in a hospital bed.  But at this point, she couldn’t give a single shit anymore. 

Eyes ever on the horizon, she kept making things her own. Her own success, her own failure, her own life. It was all hers because she made it that way. Straight A’s - check. Fencing championship - check. Parties - check. Graduate with honors - check. Acceptance letter to the university of her dreams - check.  

University: 

Mari had definitely made herself known in the university. She was president of her course organization and a volunteer for many others which meant that she had a lot of circles. That didn’t necessarily mean that everyone was going to rub shoulders with her. She was kind and charming to some, rude and aloof to others. Mari couldn’t really care what they thought of her because she had this air of self-assurance that proved impenetrable.

Mari had always been interested in being a diplomat. While her parents were shocked that she chose a degree in international relations, they didn’t put up a fight. They just made her promise to minor in management so she can take over her role in their family business. Currently in her junior year, the deadline for declaring a minor is getting nearer and nearer but Mari seems to have no plans in doing so. 

Headcanons:

Mari loves animals! She'll definitely pet any animal she passes by and people will literally yell at her that the strays have rabies but she couldn't care less.

Mari is somewhat fluent in Spanish. Though she uses it to curse most of the time.

She often reads at night, steamy romance reads are by far her favorites (a guilty pleasure).

She absolutely despises being late to events.

Manifests the "punch first, ask questions later" motto, but instead of punches, she uses her sharp words. When she has a particularly clever quip, her lips would pull into a smirk and her left eyebrow would definitely be raised. Her friends already know that this is her "resting Mari face".

Feels most herself when she's buried deep in the library. If someone wants to genuinely befriend her, that's the place to do so. 

Wanted Connections

Ride or die ( they get into all sorts of illicit activity together and wouldn’t have it any other way )

Drinking / Partying friend ( they may not necessarily be friends in real life but are bffs when they’re drinking / partying )

Co-volunteer ( they can be volunteers for an org inside/outside of school ; they’re on good terms even if they don’t see each other that much )

Study buddy ( the usual ; or this can be a tutoring situation! )

A fake dating situation ( they pretend to date for whatever reason but secretly hate each other / just wants to be friends )

absolutely anything! send me a message and we can brainstorm !!!

NADINE MAI BISSET - the idealist 

she - her 

and hope remained when all the others left 

Please click here for a link to Nadine’s full biography. 

personality 

Nadine’s personality is bright. She’s always there with a smile when you need it. She’s known for her little presents she gets her friends and her general pleasant demeanor. However, deep darkness grows within her. The resentment she feels towards her sibling eats at her, and the guilt has spiraled into something else. That, combined with the stress of not sleeping has let her slip into a depression of sorts. She keeps the smile plastered on though, determined not to let anyone see through her lies. 

headcanons 

Nadine’s favorite season is spring. She loves the new growth, although she could live without the pollen. The weather changes and the day gets longer and it reinvigorates her. 

Nadine is a sucker for tea. She has a whole collection -- every sort you can imagine. However her favorite is a strong black tea with a touch of honey and cream. 

Nadine can’t wait to move into her own place. She’s always wanted to get an animal, specifically a cat. She doesn’t know what sort she’ll get just yet; she’s planning on going to the shelter and picking out an animal in need -- if she can stomach the sight of so many locked up. 

connections 

the phoenix - a burned bridge 

the prodigy - a sibling 

wanted connections

ride or die - For whatever reason when Nadine and this person met, they clicked really well. Nadine sees them as a best friend. 

loose lips sink ships - Nadine and this person share a secret. It could be literally anything, but preferably something neither of them want getting out. 

an old fling - For whatever reason, things didn’t work out between them. Maybe there’s some bad blood between them, or maybe they’re just exes on good terms. 

[sunnyhwang]

into the world’s tumult, into the chaos of everyday, go quietly, quietly. [ hey everyone !! i present to you my sweet and soft child sunny hwang. most of what you need to know about her is over at this link, but under the cut is a tldr; version bc her bio is pretty long. like this post and i will dm you on tumblr or discord !! plot with us pleaaseee ]

HISTORY

She’s born in Seoul to a very well-off family. Her father’s family owns a conglomerate, and her mother is a lawyer. She has a sister four years her junior named Sangmi. Sunhee had a happy childhood, and this is the foundation for her optimistic disposition. 

Her family moved to New York when she was eight because her father was entering his cosmetics company into the international market. 

Her father’s business was not doing well in its initial entry to the international market. This put him on a lot of pressure, and he eventually turned to alcohol for comfort which ended in him developing an addiction. To make things worse, her mother isn’t able to practice law in America because she hasn’t taken the New York bar yet.

Fights got frequent, but her mother never suggested or hinted at divorce. She was patient with her husband. After two years of struggle, her father managed to recover. This incident forever marked Sunhee. This coupled with her utopian optimism, made her a firm believer in a human being’s ability to change.

At school, she was called Sunny and it stuck. She went to a private boarding school in upstate New York. Her life is very sheltered. Even if she lived in a city filled with diversity, she rarely got to experience it. 

People have been taking advantage of her naivety since high school. Although back then, she had a solid friend group to shield her. 

She decided to go to Bonavich because she wanted to escape from her sheltered life and experience independence.

It was rough for her at the start because she was truly alone for the first time in her life in a new country. Although now, I’d think she’d already have some friends and has established her footing in England. 

PERSONALITY I know I keep using this word, but Sunny really is soft. She has a gentle smile and soft voice. At first glance, she really is shy. She’d rather blend in a crowd than stand-out. If you get closer to her, however, you’ll discover a bright girl with an endless supply of kindness. She likes to laugh around people she’s comfortable with, and she has a really loud laugh which surprises many. She believes in everyone’s inherent good so she isn’t one to judge. She’ll even make excuses for you. She’s also a huge crybaby and can be a bit ignorant sometimes because she’s lived such a sheltered life. One big part of her personality is that she is very, very stubborn. Once she’s believed in something, she’ll hold on to it, even if evidence proves it to be false.

she/her.

mun: jace 

Read her bio here!

the low down: 

Eleanor comes from a wealthy Indian family and when her mother married an English man, the wealth doubled. She’s been forced her whole life to be a very specific way and though she was already rebelling against it, her opposing intensified when she found out her father was cheating on her mother. That broke Eleanor a little and she no longer trusted her father, leaned more for loyalty on the Bhatia family. When she thought her father had put behind the cheating she caught him again but this time she was older and wiser. She used her knowledge to blackmail her father into letting her do whatever she wanted, going to Bonavich being one of those things. 

Eleanor is the firebrand so she’ll stick her nose everywhere and fight everyone. She LooOoOvEs being right. Hates being wrong. Will be the one to throw the stone and then throw another one. Hates injustice. Hates being bored. As much as she’ll say she hates the wealth her parents provide, she still wears expensive clothing, nice jewelry and she’s quite picky with her makeup and shoes. 

Majors in General Studies because she has no clue what to do with her life. She hopes Lethe House will help with that.

Eloisa Bisset - The Prodigy

Physics and Astronomy Major

Sophomore (2 year university)

23 years old

They/them

Personality

Eloisa is intelligent, smart and bossy. They come off as a know it all, although that's not exactly their intention. They can’t seem to see that correcting everyone and insisting they win every argument is rude.

A Quick History

Eloisa was groomed for only the best. Their parents pushed them to excel at everything they tried. Every hobbies they took up was to better their resume.

Language, mathematics, reading, memorizing, really all of school came easily to them. Or the academic side of school.

Their high IQ and tendency to correct everyone all the time didn’t make them any friends.

They are very optimistic about being invited to the Lethe House, in the hopes of finding like-minded peers and maybe friends.

Fun Facts

They grew up in Paris

They are hoping for a career in NASA as a researcher

They list off facts when they get nervous

They are a coffee addict

Christine Rosalind Glass - The Fallen 

The star will shine, and then it will fall, and you will forget it all. 

{Personality}

Christine is proud, commanding, and rarely loses her cool in front of anyone, at least not visibly. She tends to blame others for her failures, while taking full credit for her successes. She’s a lonely person, and she genuinely likes people, which served her well in her past but has made things very difficult in her current life. She loves dancing, and rarely stops moving. She’ll do most things to get eyes on her, and loves to show off. However, she never stops working and trying to improve herself. 

{History}

Christine was born and raised in Virginia, the youngest of three daughters of a successful producer and one of his actresses. She was homeschooled until High School, and took lessons in ballroom dance, gymnastics, figure skating, human psychology, decorum, and ballet. She attended a private high school, and quickly became one of the social elite, ending her senior year as a cheerleader, a member of the yearbook committee, class president, and her proudest accomplishment, captain and founder of the school dance team. After high school she went to Paris to become a professional ballet dancer. However, this plan crashed and burned, and after blowing through her money, she was forced to return home and enroll in University. 

{Headcanons}

Christine loves being drunk, but can’t stand the taste of alcohol, so she usually brings grenadine to parties to add to whatever she’s drinking. 

She has always wanted to dance the part of Sleeping Beauty more than any other role, and it’s one of her greatest regrets that she couldn’t.

She has a lot of respect for bodies, and gets very annoyed with anyone who doesn’t make physical health a priority. 

She’s closest with her oldest sister, Calliope Evalina, and trusts her with everything in her life, calling her for at least one hour a week. 

She collects bottle caps, and has an old perfume box full of them that she keeps in the back of her sock drawer. 

She believes in destiny, and that she is meant to do something amazing. 

{Connections}

The Loose Cannon : She thinks she loves them. She’s convinced that they are the reason for her being at Bonavich. She thinks this must be her final love story, and this one has to work out. 

The Social Climber : She doesn’t trust Jax Kennedy as far as she could throw him. She thinks he’s a real danger, and isn’t sure how, but she’s going to win over him. Whatever it takes.
