『 kylie bunbury. thirty. cis woman. she/her. 』 oh heavens, is that BETHANIE ROBINSON from MAIN STREET i see roaming around mapleview? minnie may’s always calling them -SURLY & -DETACHED. i happen to think they’re not that bad! they’re a pretty cool FOOTBALL COACH AT MAPLEVIEW HIGH SCHOOL and every time i’ve seen them, they’ve always been +DEDICATED & +AMBITIOUS. i hope i see them around again!
@mapleviewstarters
hello all, it’s wonderful to be here. i’d love to introduce you all to bethanie whose mottos include ‘you ain’t done until i say you are’ and ‘if a man can do it, i can make it look easy’. i’m always down for plotting and love to get excited about practically anything. you can come and talk to me on discord if you’d prefer (silly goose#0914)
show ‘em what ya daddy taught ya.
❂ bethanie was born in atlanta, georgia to marquis and nora robinson. her mother was a talented singer who preferred weddings but dabbled in performing at public events and clubs. her father, at the time of bethanie’s birth, was a young man taking his first steps into the NFL.
❂ by the time bethanie was six, she’d already followed in her father’s footsteps and lived and breathed sports. she attended every game with her mother and was one of the loudest tiny voices in the crowd. shortly after her father’s fifth season with the falcons, the family moved to charlotte, nc when her father took up a new position as a starting linebacker for the carolina panthers.
❂ although not an american football player herself, bethanie also lived and breathed athletics and field hockey alongside her deep-rooted passion for american football. all-in-all... sport was (and remains) her passion.
❂ there was nothing remarkable about the way bethanie grew up. she had two loving parents who supported her completely and she never had to need for much. she went to college with a scholarship for athletics but a series of injuries in her senior year saw her cut short from national success. by this time, her father had retired, entered the hall of fame and coached at the university of north carolina. in passing one thanksgiving, he mentioned that it should be something she considered.
❂ bethanie’s mother passed away when beth was 24 and she temporarily moved back in with her father to support him through the loss. months turned into years and the two became quite the team, beth supporting her father with his own job while working on the side. three years ago, her father told her that he’d got in touch with an old friend who knew of an opening in a small town called mapleview. just a high school position but a chance to change lives... bethanie took it and made the move.
a personal playbook.
❂ bethanie is incredibly headstrong. when she puts her mind to something... she’ll go after it with all she’s got.
❂ she rarely stands for any crap and will speaks her mind/speak up when she feels it’s right.
❂ she probably wouldn’t call herself a people person or a people pleaser but she’s grateful and good to friends and family. she understands the value of a close unit and has a lot of respect for people and their lives.
❂ she is aware that she talks about sport a lot and will remind herself to chill out.
it’s all about teamwork.
❂ friends / colleagues / flings
❂ sports folks
❂ bar buddies
❂ old friends
❂ ex’s and oh’s
❂ hiking companions
❂ anything you can imagine
hi .. it’s cecy again, i’m so sorry skfdsl i’m the mun of OPHELIA AYDIN, now bringing u my son, atlas ! just hit the heart if u wanna plot ! @mapleviewstarters
『 jonathan daviss. twenty-two. cis-male. he/him. 』 oh heavens, is that ATLAS HOLMES from CHESTNUT DRIVE i see roaming around mapleview? minnie may’s always calling them -APPREHENSIVE & -RESOLUTE. i happen to think they’re not that bad! they’re a pretty cool VET INTERN and every time i’ve seen them, they’ve always been +DILIGENT & +INTUITIVE. i hope i see them around again!
tw: drugs, physical abuse, stabbing.
THEN:
atlas is born and raised in mapleview, been here his whole life, his family has been here for several generations and the name is very respected. his grandparents were very involved in town politics and stuff
his parents are the town’s weirdos like they’re very open, very fun, were definitely hippies once upon a time and still kinda live by that. everyone who’s met them and are friends of atlas’ are adopted by the holmes’ now. i don’t make the rules
atlas has an older brother, orion, yes his parents had a theme, and after they got him things became really hard for two ppl who weren’t really used to taking responsibility. they started using a lot and whilst they were always very loving, they also tended to unintentionally neglect their son
things got worse when atlas came around, definitely a mistake and his parents tried their best to fit him into their lives, but there really was no room for children in their then current lifestyle
a long custody battle erupted between atlas’s parents and atlas’s grandparents. most of atlas’ early childhood was spent bouncing between them, but at 7 his grandparents won custody over him. orion, 14 at the time, got to stay with their parents
his grandparents were a literal nightmare, very religious people, atlas was not allowed to do pretty much anything he wanted to do and was expected to be the perfect grandson at all times. any mistake was punished, any time he spent w friends outside of school hours were punished. that didn’t stop him from sneaking out to hang out w lane tho
he was very often physically abused, would show up with new wounds and bruises every week at school, but would ofc blame it on being clumsy etc etc. it’s a small town so some people definitely had an inkling
at 13, atlas had a fight with his grandfather which resulted in a kitchen knife in his chest, a sudden but deliberate action not meant to kill, but definitely to harm. he was hospitalized for a week and it was then he was given back to his parents as his grandparents would never see him or any family again really. today atlas has a scar, but no other wounds/ailments (except the trauma).
his parents really did their best all those years to get him back, but in a town where atlas’ grandparents were so influential very few wanted to get on their bad side — and who would believe a reckless couple who couldn’t care for their own children after all?
NOW:
the holmes-case got a LOT of attention not just in mapleview, but nationally. it was a huge scandal, a heartbreaking case, one of the biggest court cases the town had seen. atlas doesn’t like to talk about it simply because he doesn’t wanna be pitied or defined by it. of course, he’s never going to escape it entirely
after atlas moved to chestnut drive at 19 to live by himself, his parents moved out of town and have opened a fox sanctuary where they save foxes from fur farms. they have about 15 foxes in total and atlas has a large outer area at his own place for his own pet fox, malakai
loves his parents, doesn’t get along w his brother bc atlas is lowkey bitter and has trust issues
works as a vet intern just outside of town and loves his job
PERSONALITY / MISC:
*aggressively* “i’m FINE”
atlas is a really chill and respectful dude, gets along w everyone for the most part. be nice to him and he’s nice to you, it’s always been that simple
he’s pretty logical and intelligent, has a tendency to let that rule over his feelings tho
does not shy away from physical touch, if you need a hug or some cuddle time he’s got your back
not the most gregarious type, he’s quite the introvert, but he makes exceptions if u get close to him
has a lot of respect for animals and the environment. there lives a tiny sjw within him
loves nature!! wants to live in the woods. hozier probably wrote a song about him
atlas struggles with (rarely, but it happens) anger issues. he never learned how to deal with his emotions and when he was finally back in a loving home the only thing he dared to feel was anger — anger that a whole system let him down
he smokes a LOT of weed, it helps him calm down
a n x i e t y
it’s clear his past has left some imprints bc he still flinches when people around him move very suddenly, but he’s getting better gradually
he goes to therapy, but he hasn’t told anyone but lane
abandonment issues, big time. does get kinda clingy on his closest friends bc of it
has a big old van he drives around in like the lil hippie he is
TL;DR:
nice boy who has endured a lot of pain in his childhood. loves his friends, has a pet fox rescued from a fur farm. calm and pragmatic most of the time, but can react with anger if he’s facing difficult emotions he doesn’t know how to respond to. anxious and doesn’t know how to trust himself. has the aesthetics of a witch honestly.
POSSIBLE CONNECTIONS (whatever gender is fine)
a neighbor of his grandparents (they lived on main street), someone who probably sorta knew what was happening there whilst atlas grew up. could be someone older or someone around his own age. could’ve tried to report it or not
former classmates !
a flirtationship ! they lowkey look like they’re dating, but they always brush the comments off. could be just platonic but could also turn romantic !
someone atlas used to crush on and it was super obvious and he’s still awkward about it
someone he babysits for, or he walks their dog, or something like that idk i’m not great at these
exes on good terms
exes on bad terms
sibling-like friendship
protective friendship
neighbors! chestnut drive gang come thru
friends !!! lots of them
someone he lowkey dislikes bc they’re part of the system that failed him ? idk how this would work but i’m throwing it out there
hi everyone!! i’m val and i’m so excited to be here. i can’t wait to start writing with you all.

the quickest way to describe jude is old soul. he’s never been the type to involve himself in petty drama, wise beyond his years, even down to the way he enjoys things --- preferring to listen to vinyls, sit down with an actual book, writes sappy letters, even has an old v.w. van that he has curtains and string lights in.
loves flowers more than any other living thing on this planet. his original ambition was to become a botanist, but he didn’t find that traditional college worked for him.
he drifted toward his second love of film. growing up in mapleview, his favorite spot was always the drive in theater. he often joked that he lived there. getting a job there was a perfect fit for him, and he has no plans to leave anytime soon.
will be friends with absolutely everyone, helpless wreck when it comes to flirting (leading him to have few romantic relationships. he feared ruining things with people by taking a romantic risk).
came out as trans when he was 14. he was lucky enough to have parents who supported him, although not everyone in the south felt the same way. another reason why jude is more cautious when it comes to letting people in.
doesn’t drink very often but smokes weed frequently for his anxiety (lowkey will sell u some but more than likely will just give for free bc sharing is caring)
he writes music and performs covers but only in the privacy of his own bedroom. super shy about his voice.
will take photos of u when you aren’t looking to capture you in happy moments authentically
the type to deliver flowers to strangers randomly
tl;dr jude is chill sweet dude who honestly just wants good in the world
that’s all for now!! some connection ideas are neighbors, someone who has a crush on jude but jude is oblivious, regulars at the drive in, childhood friends, exes, enemies, mentors, casual fling, anything!!

tw pregnancy & death ! couldn’t help myself soooo here’s my wholesome teacher with a heart of gold that will adopt anyone under the age of thirty & take care of them like his own children <3 @mapleviewstarters
NAME : jacob isaac horowitz
NICKNAME : jake
SEXUALITY : pansexual
RELATIONSHIP STATUS : single, widowed
ZODIAC SIGN : gemini
PARENTS : andrew & sarah horowitz
CHILDREN : matthew (21), eleanor horowitz (3)
RESIDENCY : a comfortable three bedroom house in sycamore way
PETS : a siberian husky named kai
OCCUPATION : high school english teacher
CHARACTER INSPO : jake peralta (brooklyn nine-nine), ben wyatt (parks & rec), andy dwyer (parks & rec), joy (inside out), winston schmidt (new girl).
MBTI PERSONALITY : ESFP with a hint of ENFP
ABOUT JAKE | STATS
jake grew up in a home filled with nothing but love. as the only child of andrew and sarah, he was spoiled rotten ( but in the nicest way possible ).
a lot of his personality comes from his father, a retired comedian, that taught him having a good sense of humor and looking at life from a positive perspective were truly the most important things.
as a teenager, jake was very focused and centered when it came to his academic life, something his mother taught him. he wasn’t a party guy but he definitely was known around as the funny guy or the dorky guy that everyone seemed to loved.
he met his future wife, leah, when he was just seventeen and if you ask him about it, he’ll obviously describe it as love at first sight. their connection was instant and it didn’t take long before the two started dating.
the lovebirds married soon after graduation and started their lives together. a few years later, their first son came as a surprise but still very loved nonetheless. that wasn’t a hardship for the young lovers, they pulled through together as a family whilst raising a baby and being college students.
life in the horowitz household wasn’t always perfect, jake can acknowledge that, but it pretty damn near to it. with their degrees, the two soon were able to stabilize themselves and build a real home on the house he still lives in to this day at sycamore way.
about four years ago, leah surprisingly found out she was expecting. even if it was somewhat of a risky pregnancy, she decided to go through with it and jake obviously supported her choice. at the time of delivery, a beautiful baby girl was born but unfortunately, leah lost too much blood and passed away
the year that followed was probably the hardest in jake’s life. mourning the loss of the love of his life while raising a son and caring for a baby as well as having a full time job wasn’t easy in the least -- he’s just glad he had his friends and his parents to help him out.
obviously, jake bounced back. even if he missed her dearly, he knew he had to pull through for the sake of his children. and that he did with a full smile on his face and his optimistic view of life intact.
RANDOM FACTS
has a really dorky personality and can be seen as quite the goof.
is probably the favorite teacher for a lot of his students because he’s the “cool and funny” type.
a real sweetheart that often cares more about other people’s needs than his own.
SUPER FRIENDLY!!!! very easygoing extroverted guy that just has that warm vibe that makes people comfortable around him.
dad jokes 24/7, loves to embarrass his son, super paternal vibes.
will adopt everyone and anyone and watch over them like he does for his own kids.
extremely loving, generous, sympathetic guy. probably gives the best damn hugs in the world.
will give unsolicited advice even if he doesn’t know what he’s talking about ( he tries tho )
WANTED CONNECTIONS
best friend / close friends
childhood friends / friends from high school
fellow teachers / co-workers
good influences ( for him to influence, ofc )
flirtatious friendship, perhaps?
people he has taken under his wing / see him as a cool uncle or father figure

Nathaniel grew up in Mapleview, North Carolina in foster care, going from home to home. His birth mother had her rights removed when he was four years old, and vague memories remain of her. He also has a brother, two years younger than him.
His birth mother was a drug addict and he carries resentment for her, even now.
He has horror stories of some of his foster homes, and he had behavioral issues as a kid and they simply couldn’t deal with him and he continued to flit from home to home.
He felt/feels very lost in life.
When he was thirteen, he and his brother found each other again and were adopted into a permanent home by Elisabeth and James Blackwood. They sought therapy for Nathaniel’s behavioral issues, such as screaming, sneaking alcohol, etc. and these slowly stopped being a problem.
His adoptive mother, as he came to discover, has bipolar disorder, which explained how she would be on top of the world for a few weeks and then very down and laying in bed for another few weeks. Nathaniel sometimes wonders if he has bipolar disorder as well.
Nonetheless, the two adoptive parents made the home a welcoming, loving space for the two brothers. Music, books, animals, art, and food surrounded them.
Went to college for graphic design, and later decided to become a tattoo artist.
He now lives in a home on Sycamore Way and is a tattoo artist with a dog.

» 𝐁𝐀𝐂𝐊𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘 ;
alonzo was born in a south american country: chile. his parents & a 9-month old baby boy moved to the united states — and had grown fond of the small town by the name of 𝒎𝒂𝒑𝒍𝒆𝒗𝒊𝒆𝒘 & stayed ever since. mom and dad never had another child; it was the three of them against the world, or that’s what it felt like for the first couple of years. they did everything they could to raise him in a land with better opportunities.
growing up, he was a decent student with passing grades: mostly b’s, c’s and the occasional a’s ( which called for small victories with chilean desserts and a milkshake ). alonzo improved the more he attended tutoring sessions. they expected more from him... obviously. as one parent does. his strongest subject was mathematics. long story short, he tried his best with everything he did.
during his senior year, his parents noticed that since math was his strong suit so they suggested he should get into an architecture degree—this was one of the few times where he actually agreed with his parents. he applied to several universities and one of them was: usc school of architecture. let’s just say he couldn’t let this opportunity pass. so long, mapleview; hello california ! off he went.
several years had passed, alonzo graduated from USC with a bachelor’s degree in architectural design. after that, he spent some of his years away from his hometown, living in california, earning himself an internship with a top tier design studio. he never saw it coming. he’d worked too hard to be where he was and he wanted more; accomplish more than he sought out for.
of course, he’d visit his parents for some time in the holidays or surprising them with a visit— helping them with anything and everything they needed. he felt like he owed it to them.
alonzo met his future ex-wife while she was an intern. they got on very well— started off as friends until they eventually fell in love with each other. it was bliss and married only a year and a half after dating. they decided to move to mapleview after he found out his mom fell ill.
alonzo was a small town boy, then a big city guy... and back to a small town dude a little over a decade ago. however, the circumstances were that of his mother and his responsibility was to care for her, look after her. alonzo was eternally grateful that she supported him. no matter the amount of struggles they had, looking after his mom, it was always rough for him... all of them.
alonzo and pia eventually had a daughter, elena. not only was he a busy man but as soon as he became a father, he made every fiber of his being to be as hands-on & 100% present as possible. sure, there were obstacles along the way, but alonzo sure made the effort. thankfully, his parents and his mother was still alive to welcome their first grandchild into the world— still pushing through. unfortunately, some years later, she had lost her battle with cancer.
alonzo and pia’s marriage started to deteriorate and decided to divorce. they had found out she had fallen pregnant with their second child, a son by name of mateo. before he was born, they decided to stay together. shortly after his birth, they couldn’t stay together just for the kids. they amicably decided to split and co-parent their kids. he and his ex-wife remain friends to this day, four years after their divorce.
you may have spotted the name 𝐀𝐋𝐎𝐍𝐙𝐎 𝐅𝐈𝐆𝐔𝐄𝐑𝐎𝐀 in several architectural digest magazines ( including others ), as he is known to be a successful and renowned architect across the globe. has he received awards? damn well he has. over the years, he expanded his design firms with locations across the nation. despite living in a small town, he still works and occasionally travels for work. however, he also works from home and has a work-life balance. it wasn’t easy at first but he’s there and pleased.

hi hi hi! it’s a me, mario theo. i get great great vibes from this group and looking forward to connecting w all of you!! pls dont hesitate to dm me or hmu on discord at cotton eyed theo#3925 ... and without further ado, here’s my baby natalie...
✧ P A S T.
adopted at a young age, natalie grew up on fair lane as part of a family that comes from old money. ( think rockefellers, fords, etc... it was all very stuffy, to say the least. )
put simply, natalie’s not too fond of her childhood. she always felt out of place in her upbringing. with a seemingly perfect older sister and by-the-books parents, nat’s impulsive, out-there nature clashed often with what was expected of her. she made a lot of mistakes, and many went unforgiven.
as she grew older, it became more and more apparent that, well, she was the family disappointment. ( once she turned 16, her parents weren’t really afraid to communicate that to her either. ) taking her standing in stride, she moved out upon high school graduation, ditched college ( the one that her family wanted her oh-so badly to attend ), and started supporting herself independently.
✧ P R E S E N T.
natalie would never admit it aloud, but she harbors a lot of guilt surrounding her family situation. it doesn’t help that the town is teeny-tiny, and she seems to run into them ( or friends of theirs ) wherever she goes.
luckily, nat’s become a master deflector ( whether it be about her family or any topic she doesn’t want to talk about ). her go-to is breaking any tension with a witty joke or off-hand reference. it works ~75% of the time.
speaking of which... girl’s got a mouth. she can talk for hours on-end to practically anyone. her long-winded conversations are usually why she’s late to everything.
natalie LOVES her job. it’s the only one, so far, where her constant spontaneity has been appreciated. turns out, including a wrong but pretty flower in a bouquet is much better than putting a twist on a regular coffee order ( in her defense, the guy no doubt needed that splash of bailey’s in there anyway ).
honestly, she would probably do very well in a city but has no desire to leave mapleview. even though her family would seem like reason enough to drive her away, nat feels like mapleview is her place. ( must add here that nat can be incredibly superstitious as well... probably has a random thing about karma and moving too far from her first home. )
