Congratulations, Arya Stark. Welcome to Queen’s Crossing.

You will be roomed with Adelyn Belrose. 

Character’s name: Arya Stark Character’s age: 16 Position: Student Faceclaim: Bex Taylor-Klaus Character history: Born in Scotland to Eddard Stark and Catelyn Tully, Arya is the third-youngest of six children (five full siblings and one half-brother); the daughter of a well-known politician and his wife, she originates from an undeniably wealthy background, but has been known to have little regard for associated economic and class boundaries, affiliating herself with whomsoever she pleases. This tendency has caused varying degrees of discomfort within her family, however, as well as her lack of regard for codified gender expectations – while some among her family consider these traits something that she will outgrow, others have taken a more hostile or judgmental stance, and either way she is expected to follow in her elder sister’s footsteps, marrying well and bearing the children of a wealthy, influential man. Needless to say, this lifestyle does not interest Arya in the slightest, and she has taken the opportunity to apply to and attend the school as a means to educate herself on her own terms and find ways to stand on her own two feet, taking control over her own life – she loves her family deeply, with all the ferocity of a wolf toward its pack, but yearns for freedom and agency and the ability to make her own choices, as well as possessing a deep hunger for knowledge. Extroverted, bold, forthright, fiercely empathetic, and friendly, Arya bonds quickly and easily with others – however, she has very little tolerance for spite, cruelty, and malicious lying, and has been known to meet circumstances she perceives as unjust with a mix of stubbornness and borderline feral anger. Messy hair, bruised knuckles, chewed lips, leather jackets, piercings, and tattoos, she seldom matches the polished air of many of the other students attending the school – but she is a quick and determined learner and has shown clear aptitude in history, mathematics, and languages, as well as being skilled in fencing and horseriding, and thus several staff members have decided to overlook her … eccentricities, so long as she doesn’t draw too much trouble or get into fights on campus. (No small ask.) She also has an intense interest in human rights, women’s rights, issues surrounding sexuality and gender, politics, and international relations. Activities they take part in: fencing, equestrian, Model United Nations.

queen's crossing application

Congratulations, River Song. Welcome to Queen’s Crossing. You will be roomed with Lyanna Stark. 

NAME:   River Song AGE:   17 FC:   Imogen Poots POSITION:   Student HISTORY:   River had a whirlwind upbringing; never staying in one place, let alone one institution of learning, for very long and constantly being moved about had a very strange effect on the ward of one Madam Genevieve Kovarian. Her parents had died soon after her birth, and their dying wish had been that she be placed in Kovarian’s care - at least, that’s the story she’d always been told. She learnt not to question it much. She learnt not to question anything much, because as she grew older, the criminality of her legal guardian’s mysterious profession became more and more apparent. And, because it was all she knew and all she was ever taught to know, it also became apparent that she was being groomed to join the ranks of Kovarian’s organization as soon as she came of age.                       Her final years of education are to be spent at Queen’s Crossing, an institution her guardian happens to be involved in ( on the board, or something to that effect, River’s never been all too keen on the particulars, never seemed important ) – and however droll school might be for someone who automatically assumes she’s the smartest person in the room, having the opportunity to remain stationary for longer than ten months might prove useful. There’s a name she’d found on a birth certificate that had never meant to be found, Melody Williams - she’d found it when snooping through Kovarian’s things on holiday - and she suspects that it might possibly be hers. She’s eager to see if living apart from her guardian for such an extended period of time might allow her to investigate her suspicions, and is ready to take advantage of whatever connections this new school might afford.                       Naturally belligerent and what some might term haughty, she nevertheless can be very charming when she needs to be. She has difficulties making friends, since she’s never had the opportunity or the desire, seeing as more often than not she’d be gone within the year. She’s very intelligent, and excels in the subjects of history, languages ( dead & foreign ), and the physical sciences, but finds difficulties with more artistic pursuits. She’s a fast learner and an ever faster adapter, and she has quite a few unusual skills that make day to day life a bit more interesting, well, more interesting for her.  ACTIVITIES:   Her hobbies include fencing and trap shooting ( in fact, she’s very comfortable around a variety of weaponry, although, of course, if asked she’d say it’s all for sport ) and she’s ready to get involved in any sort of school-sponsored activity that might align with her interests.  SPECIAL COMMENTS:   Nothing other than thank you very much for reading my application!

application for the queen’s crossing group au verse??

Character’s name : lyanna stark Character’s age: 16 Position [Student, Professor, Dean, etc] : student Faceclaim : hailee steinfeld Character’s History : 

      Examples being ; it’s old money ;; you know how it is.   (  they say she’s descended from some distant royalty but it’s never been proven either way && she’s entirely mum on the subject, thank you very much.  )   the sole daughter among three boys, lyanna grew up rather spoiled by family both distant && immediate && never came to want for anything. she’s been around the block, knows the circles yet rarely pays attention unless they manage to attract her rather fickle heart.   (  it’s harder to do than you’d think, but once you get it, you’re quite stuck with her.  )

      her mother, lyarra, died a few years after giving birth to lyannas younger brother ;; a sickness, they say, though exact specifics were never exactly disclosed to her && she learned not to pry, to bring up her memory to her too-cold father. it’s a stark thing, that coldness, each member of the family containing at least a sliver && it goes tempered within her leaving her just as volatile as it does uncaring to that which does not interest her.

      it’s a joke in the family, her horse riding skills ;; saying she learned to ride before she learned to walk   (  almost, but she was a late bloomer. preferred to scoot everywhere if she wasn’t getting carried around.  )   , saying she’s half a horse. it was easier back at the family estate in scotland where she && her brothers would remain while rickard spent three fourths of the year conducting business in america or elsewhere in the world until they reached an age where they could get sent away for school at the best institutions. you’ve got to make connections && find an appropriate spouse after all. gross.

Activities they participate in : fencing, horseback riding, debate Special comments : awkwardly chin hands @??
