{ michael evans behling♔ twenty five ♔ he/him} well, well, well if it isn’t michael young running around peach hollow. legend has it, they come from peach place and have lived here for twenty-five. if you’re wondering what they’ve been up to, i hear they’re a football player for a living. they have been known to be egocentric yet charming. a word of advice to them, always look over your shoulder. you never know who is watching.
hi y’all~ this is my boo michael~ like or message me if you would like to plot!
born and in peach place
oldest son of an heiress and a former nfl player.
it was no surprise to anyone when michael wanted to follow in his father’s footsteps.he was always interested in sport and in his house all they ever talked about was football.
he has a twin sister and a young sister -- if anyone is interested in picking up those connections. he is quite close to both of his sisters and very protective of them.
he was also quite the ladies man. whether he was in a relationship or not, he was always intertaining women. they love to give him attention and he liked getting it.
to the public is life is as close to perfect as it could get. great parents, wealth, parties, vacations, women --he had everything he wanted. especially when he got drafted into the NFL at the age of 21. he’s been playing for the Atlanta Falcons ever since.
In private his life wasn’t as perfect as they made it out to be. The only thing keeping his parents together was money, his twin sister was struggling with a drug addiction and he had some private things going on too (his secret).
This past year he’s been really distracted and it’s affected his game. He injured his knee, which required surgery and he had no choice but to miss the last 12 games of the season.
{ Emmy Rossum ♔ Twenty-eight ♔ she/her } well, well, well if it isn’t Alexis Walker running around peach hollow. legend has it, they come from tangerine towers and have lived here for three weeks. if you’re wondering what they’ve been up to, i hear they’re a mechanic for a living. they have been known to be hot-tempered yet hard working. a word of advice to them, always look over your shoulder. you never know who is watching. { Fiona ♔ 20 ♔ EST ♔ she/her }
Alexis grew up an only child living in a big city. She graduated high school in 2010, but instead of going to college she started working as a mechanic at a local shop. She is good with cars but specializes in motorcycles.
Alexis has been riding for as long as she can remember and motorcycles are her passion. She’s never felt more free than when she’s flying down the highway at a million miles an hour. There’s nothing and no one in her way, the scenery is zipping by, and she is exposed to the elements rather than trapped behind walls, windows, and doors. Always a good escape from a crowded town.
Alexis worked in the same shop for a many years, eventually becoming a manager. She decided that she wanted to open her own, but this didn’t work out. After getting screwed over by her business partner, Alexis lost a lot of her savings and decided to move out of the city and start over in Peach Hollow.
Prior to this decision, Alexis had been living with her supposedly long-term girlfriend, Holly. However, while Alexis was getting screwed over, her girlfriend was busy getting screwed. After finding out that Holly was cheating on her with her ex-business partner, Alexis knew she definitely needed a fresh start. Hopefully Peaches will be just the place for that.
{ liz gillies ♔ twenty-four ♔ she/her } well, well, well if it isn’t eliza moore running around peach hollow. legend has it, they come from tangerine towers and have lived here for her whole life. if you’re wondering what they’ve been up to, i hear they’re a receptionist at a touch of ink tattoo parlor for a living. they have been known to be sarcastic yet loyal. a word of advice to them, always look over your shoulder. you never know who is watching. { cat ♔ 26 ♔ est ♔ she/her }
hi everyone! my name is cat and i’m so excited to be here with a freshly made new character. i truly hope you guys love her. here’s some tidbits about her until i have time to write an actual bio. (:
eliza is a notoriously sarcastic human being, so expect her to have a smart mouth that will get her into trouble from time to time.
she’s a ravenclaw because well... she’s a little bit nerdy. she is a secret writer, which has a lot to do with her secret. she actually runs a blog where she discusses and sometimes even reviews her sexual conquests.
very flirty when she wants to be. also, very bisexual. leans more towards women.
she’s lived in tangerine towers her whole life and her whole family lives in georgia somewhere.
she’s got a little bit of a southern accent, but hates it because she thinks it makes her less punk rock.
genuinely the most loyal type of person you can know.
she also sings because uh... liz gillies voice? yes. she’s a musician at heart, which I know.. predictable.
Plots I’m dying for:
ex(es) (good terms or bad terms):
unrequited crush:
will they, won’t they?:
romantic interests:
one night stands (she will probably write about on her blog yikes):
frenemies:
ride or die best friend:
close friends:
cousins:
ex best friend:
literally ANYTHING give me all the angst, fluff, etc.
{ dev patel ♔ twenty-eight ♔ he/him } well, well, well if it isn’t taran korpal running around peach hollow. legend has it, they come from blueberry boulevard and have lived here for one year. if you’re wondering what they’ve been up to, i hear they’re a director for the parks and recreation department for a living. they have been known to be insincere yet charismatic. a word of advice to them, always look over your shoulder. you never know who is watching.
hi, there! i’m jan and i’m happy to introduce taran. feel free to send me a message if you’re looking to draw up some connections or do some plotting.
born in chicago to a large family of overachievers, taran’s parents expected nothing less from their golden boy. his mother and father were both part of the faculty at the university of chicago and were heavily involved with the school. though his grades were less than stellar, he managed to squirm his way into college with the help of his parents. he spent his days slacking off, knowing full well that his safety net would protect him
he began to hide the fact that he was placed on academic probation for his poor GPA and attendance. however, it all came to a stop when taran failed out of his courses. it became a source of contention between him and his family. after his stint at the university of chicago, taran attended a local community college to the disappointment of his parents. despite this, taran took to the course-load well and graduated with decent standing.
once again, the connection to the korpals landed him a job with a firm right out of graduation - who said nepotism was a bad thing? he weaseled his way up the corporate ladder to land a comfortable spot in the company.
having worked there for several years, taran was a shoe-in for the promotion in the firm. when he was passed up for the role in favour of the vice president’s son, taran had a meltdown at the office and stormed out of the building. he was promptly fired for his behaviour and cut off from his fellow associates. out of shame, he took it upon himself to move far from chicago and from anyone who would recognize his name.
seeing an opening at the peach hollow parks and rec department, taran jumped at the chance for a fresh start. though he excelled in his new job, the country lifestyle was nowhere near what he had grown accustomed to.
taran still carries a chip on his shoulder about the great korpal legacy. he wants more than ever to return to his ivory tower and will not stop until he gets it back. known as quite the suck-up, taran’s words should never been taken at face value. as much as he is a charming smooth-talker, he could just as well be a two-faced asshole. though he won’t admit it, he looks down at the country bumpkins of peach hollow and their small town sensibilities. forget the rich residents over at peach place who settle for living in the middle of nowhere. i mean, would it kill anyone to open a decent shawarma place around here?
{ avan jogia ♔ twenty-six ♔ he/him } well, well, well if it isn’t daniel adani running around peach hollow. legend has it, they come from blueberry boulevard and have lived here for five years. if you’re wondering what they’ve been up to, i hear they’re a nurse for a living. they have been known to be blunt yet charismatic. a word of advice to them, always look over your shoulder. you never know who is watching. { cat ♔ 26 ♔ est ♔ she/her }
Daniel is unapologetically the biggest loud mouth there is. He doesn’t tolerate people with “bad vibes” and will let them know what he’s thinking.
He’s definitely a caring individual, though. He became a nurse because he likes to help people.
His dad was a very bad man, but this isn’t public knowledge. His secret is that his dad was a murderer lol. He’s very sensitive about it, so he won’t tell a soul. He doesn’t want people to associate him with evil.
This man is full of dad jokes and puns, but lacks any real game. He thinks he has game, though and will definitely try to get fresh with your character. Maybe.
He’s pansexual.
He’s a big goof ball and has a lot of charisma. He’s great at making friends, just not so great at romance.
The problem with him is that he holds a grudge. If you ever wrong him, he may never let it go.
Daniel is very much an Aquarius.
He owns his own house on Blueberry Boulevard and his only kids (so far ;) ) are his dog and cat.

trigger warning — bullying
growing up in peach hollow meant getting used to things changing , and while most of the folks in town disliked how the rich have turned their home into a cesspool of bustling businesses , jeremiah graves took that and went with it . while his parents started a business of their own , jeremiah worked hard , using his smarts to bolster his academic pursuits , eventually getting himself a full-ride scholarship to a pre-law at winchester and into law school at the university of texas .
coming home to peach hollow was when jeremiah dated victoria stein , they started as academic rivals in their childhood , with victoria on the winning side most of the time . victoria was from the richer side of town — one of the families of businessmen that came to peach hollow and turned around the town in its earlier years . they had been rivals as attorneys well after law school — they started dating and eventually married . their eldest child was born a year after and a few years after , ilya graves was born .
ilya was the family’s golden child . being in school earlier than most his age , and keeping up with the older kids academically — the kid had inherited both of his parents’ smarts and they were sure future was bright for young ilya . his earlier years consisted of him huddled up with a book and a bunch of crayons . he didn’t find it easy to get along with the older kids and he hardly put up a fight . he found solace in his books and crayons and older video games his parents would get him when he was younger , and playing them would make him want to figure out how they were made , he knew about different mechanics that could create different outcomes and it helped warm up his brain trying to figure out different ways to win a game . it helped him in real life too , when he was presented with a problem he would always find multiple ways to figure it out and solve them .
middle school , however , wasn’t easy for him . he still excelled in his academic , and was always a favorite among the teachers , but that also meant he’d usually be cornered by the older kids and get bullied a lot , there was even an incident where his mother found him beat up under the bleachers in the schools gymnasium and had the other children suspended for it . it was safe to say ilya hated anything outside of the classroom . the classroom was a place where he knew he was better at than most of his bullies and there was always a teacher making sure no one was getting beat up — but outside the classroom ? scary as shit . he would always come home tired because most of the day was him avoiding them , running when he saw them and sometimes getting stuck in lockers whenever he was caught .
after numerous incidents where ilya would come home with a few bruises and stolen lunch money , his parents thought it was best to move him to a boarding school in woodstock for high school .
going to high school in a new place meant he could change things for himself . sure , there were bullies everywhere but he was very adamant in making sure the things that happened in middle school would never repeat themselves again . his parents got him to a summer camp and he found a specific liking to archery so his parents invested in that hobby for him . ilya became involved in more physical activities such as basketball and volleyball , and became really popular in his new school . he still excelled in his academics and graduated top of his class .
for college he went on and took a game design course in the university of southern california . it was also at this point when his skills in archery were starting to be recognized as he joined numerous competitions at this point . freshman year was also when he started going to different parties , different clubs in LA to drink at and became friends with a lot of people , and sure , eventually college was starting to get difficult with the many requirements and plates to finish but it was always his dream to be there .
after graduating , he went back to peach hollow . but unlike his dad that loved the town so much he became a mayor , ilya was only going to be here for a while . he didn’t know why but over the years of not living there ( even though he spent his summers in peach hollow ) he sort of missed the place . even though it used to be a place he didn’t want to be in when he was younger . he still doesn’t like the place , and doesn’t intend to stay for long , but he thought he’d see the new things the town had to offer .
personality !
ilya is a very analytical person . when thinking about things he always favors intuition over emotion , so when presented with an issue he has the tendency to disregard any feelings and focus on how to fix it . with this he definitely tends to come off as an asshole sometimes and probably made some not-so-great relationships with it . ilya is also a romantic person . while he’s not the type of person to jump from relationship to relationship , they definitely tend to last for a while . he also loves going to clubs . he’s probably gone to every bar and club in peach hollow in his stay so far and he’s made a lot of new friends there . he’s unsure of his sexuality — and while he’s sure he isn’t straight he’s also had times where he wanted to be in a relationship with multiple people ( not in a cheat-y way . he thinks he’s polyamorous ) .
some factoids !
his shortest relationship is with one paxton adler . this was during the summer between freshman and sophomore year . it left things , a bit uneasy between them .
he loves pokemon . his first ever game was pokemon silver , where he caught a shiny vulpix that evolved into a ninetales . it is the one pokemon he’s had for the longest time as he’s transferred it from game to game .
he has a lot of video games tbh his office space in his house in blueberry boulevard is probably half-work station half-video game den . he has a lot of the newer consoles and preserves his older ones .
he’s worked on a few games so far and is currently slowly working on his own ! the title is starry knight where you play a cosmic knight defending the universe from corrupted celestial bodies . it’s graphics and art style take a bunch of inspiration from sky : children of light and ooblets .
{ Zoey Deutch ☁ Twenty-seven ☁ she/her} among the whispers around peach hollow, have you heard of [Rosemarie Harmon]? no? well, let’s catch you up to speed. rumor has it, they’ve been seen strolling around [Tangerine Towers] & have lived in peach hollow for [a year since her return]. it’s good to have them around because i hear they’re a/an [receptionist at Leo’s Garage] for a living. recent events must have them trembling because it hasn’t be long since everyone found out [she held her]. let’s hope they learned their lesson that the truth always catches up to you. { Marie☁ 25☁ she/her☁ EST}
tw: suicide, drug addiction, alcoholism, parental neglect, death.
- Rosemarie Jane Harmon was born in Atlanta, GA to a very well-known and sought after criminal defense lawyers. Two of the very best.
- She is an only child and was raised by a nanny. Her parents wanted very little to do with her. This led her to seek attention from her parents in all different ways. She became loud and rambunctious. And eventually, landed in the wrong crowd.
- She ran away from home at 17 with her boyfriend and has never been back home.
- Her boyfriend and her traveled all lot, never staying long in one place and mostly, high at all times.
- She’s no stranger to drugs – you name it, she’s probably done it.
- She’s a loud one, no filter. She’s a fighter, through and through but loyal to a fault to those she cares about.
- One day, she woke up to find that her boyfriend had OD’d and died during the night. She called the cops in a panic and ran away. She’s never fully recovered from that.
- She continued her nomadic life after that for a while and eventually met Finley and fell head over heels for this broken girl. Their relationship was toxic, both girls so deep in their addictions but man, did Rose love Fin.
- Finley eventually died and Rose doesn’t talk about her. It’s far too painful. She lost part of her soul when Finley passed but she knows her sweet girl is better and happier now.
- She landed in Peach Hollow, about 5 years ago and for the first 2.5 years, she had been mostly clean due to the promise she made Finley before she died. It was the one thing that keeps her from completely succumbing to her addiction. She still went to meetings and it was a struggle every day. She was no saint and though and she occasionally washed down a tab of escatsy with a shot of tequila or smoked a blunt once in a while, but she wasn’t trying to fall down the rabbit hole any more.
- That all changed about 2 years ago. Rose fell victim to the infamous Peacher and her secret about Finley was revealed to the whole town, drowning the girl in shame and grief; grief she never allowed herself to fully feel.
- Rose went on downward spiral, hitting drugs and alcohol hard. So much so, she got into physical fights and lost her job. It was only at Lark’s, her boyfriend at the time, insistence and pleading that Rose finally sought out help.
- Shortly after agreeing to get help, Rose broke up with Lark, again, but with a promise to get help. She loved him but she couldn’t drag him through what she knew would be a messy ordeal.
- She went away for about a year to Atlanta, her home town, and got into rehab. Once she had her feet steady, Rose came back to Peaches about a year after.
- She’s been back since then, still heavy in her path to recovery. It’s a process every day but she’s better than ever. She got her old apartment back at Tangerine Towers and a new job at Leo’s garage as a receptionist (thank god for Leo!).
- Rose is finally ready to start over.
**** Rose is my wild babe. She’s fun and loud and has no filter. A wild child. A rebel to the core. Mostly, it’s because she was forced to be invisible most of her life that now she makes sure that her presence is known.
She says what she wants and never holds back.
Life of the party.
As far of connections, GIVE THEM ALL TO ME. ANGST. DRAMA. FLINGS. ALL OF IT. Rose is one of my favorite to play because she’s the one muse that is literally up for anything. We can have a ton of different plots and I never say no.
{ Crystal Reed☁ Thirty-Two☁ she/her} among the whispers around peach hollow, have you heard of [Clarissa Gallagher]? no? well, let’s catch you up to speed. rumor has it, they’ve been seen strolling around [Blueberry Boulevard] & have lived in peach hollow for [three years]. it’s good to have them around because i hear they’re the owner of To Peach Their Own Bookstore for a living. the grapevine hasn’t turned out much about them, but that doesn’t mean they’re not hiding something. a word of advice to them, always look over your shoulder. you never know who is watching. { Marie☁ 25☁ she/her☁ EST} tw: miscarriage, death, adultery
- Clarissa Elizabeth Evans was born in McLean, VA to a very wealthy and very well known family.
- Her mother was the founder of Evans Events: a prestigious and sought after event planning company. Most of the clients vary from A-list celebrities to government officials. Her father is CEO of one of the biggest investment corporations in the nation.
- She has an older brother, Aiden, and a younger sister, Alexandra.
- Clarissa is married to Cillian. They have been together for 10 years, and of that, married for 7. She took on Cillian’s name and changed it to Gallagher
- 3 years ago, Clarissa’s parents were killed by a drunk driver.
- That same week, Clarissa walked in and caught Cillian sleeping with her best friend. She ran away from him after that and came to Peach Hollows. They were separated for year after that, each living their own lives.
- The night she caught Cillian, Clarissa had found out she was pregnant. But when she caught him , Clarissa kept the pregnant to herself, even when she got to Peaches. A couple of months after, Clarissa had a miscarriage. Still being new to town, she didn’t confide in anyone and didn’t tell Cillian.
-During their separation, Clarissa bought To Peach Their Own Bookstore and made a life for herself, trying to forget her past and focus on her future.
- A year later, Cillian came to town, looking for her. They began to rebuild their relationship. Things were going well until Clarissa told him about the miscarriage. They had a rough patch for a while but eventually found their way back together again. They currently own a dog and are considering trying to start a family.
- Though she comes from a well off family, she never liked the lifestyle she was born into. She prefers the simpler life and that has always caused her to be at odds in her family. Since she left McLean, she has only recently started to reconnect with her siblings.
- Clarissa still keeps her past and her linage a bit a secret, preferring for people to get to know her as a person rather than the money and power that comes with her family name.
- In the last year, Clarissa finally started stepping up and taking over her mother’s prominent and highly sought out event planning business. It’s a little, not fully taking over but it was something. She even took up planning some of the town’s events in the last two years.
