Cris McKenzie - Endless Summer MC Fact Sheet

Yes, I know MC is a part of Vaanu. You know what, though? 

Fuck it.

I had this sitting in my drafts from when The Mod Squad and I ran MC Appreciation Week over at @choices-mc-rules. Never posted it as it was around the time of the finale and it was a punch to the gut. Thanks to @mysteli and @brightpinkpeppercorn for putting together this week to celebrate this amazing series!

Without further ado, here’s my AU (or Rourke ending) headcanon for Cris.

Name: Cristiana (Cris) McKenzie, née Cameo

Nicknames: Cris, Princess, Gucci

Age: 22

Height: 5’5”

Hair Color: Dark brown

Eye Color: Black when growing up, but something triggered her eye color to change to a dark teal.

Family Background: Cris was adopted as a baby by an Italian family who had moved to the Los Angeles area. Her parents never mentioned where her ethnic roots originally lie, but they had a tall tale of how they were blessed with her.

On a trip to Hawaii, while they were walking the pristine beaches of the North Shore, they heard wailing in the outskirts of the rainforest. It turned out to be a baby in infancy, seemingly abandoned by her birth parents. Her parents joked that Cris was a gift from Pele, which was befitting from the Hawaiian goddess of volcanoes, fire, and the creator of the islands. 

Her family comes from the Lombardia region in Italy, with most of the extended family based out of Milan. They are relatively well off, with her grandparents being longtime shareholders in both Pirelli and Alfa Romeo. She grew up incredibly well loved and almost on the verge of being spoiled, but it never made her cocky or arrogant, as she still experienced internalized racism due to her not being white.

Education: Senior in college

Best Childhood Memory: The trips back to Milano hold special memories, from what she can remember. It’s a bit fuzzy now, but the food, the shopping, vague remembrance of the smell of chestnuts outside of the Duomo during winter, the summers in Como… too bad everything has started to draw blanks ever since she landed on La Huerta.

Favorite Color: Black and Blue

Favorite Season: Summer

Dog or Cat: She’s not much of a dog or cat person, but she loves birds and reptiles. Her family has a macaw who she used to cradle like a baby.

Chocolate or Vanilla: Chocolate all day and all night. (Yes, just like how she’s a snob with her espresso and pizza, she’s particular about chocolate too.)

Sweet or Spicy: Sweet and Savoury

Coffee or Tea: Espresso

Best Friend: Jake, Diego, and Michelle. Diego has been the one constant friend she’s had since high school, despite living a couple hours apart. They met at someone’s party in the Valley, kept in touch, and made a pact to go to college together. She and Michelle got off on the wrong foot when they met, but after discovering they had so much in common, they couldn’t help but become close. When they start on fashion, makeup, and trends, it goes over everyone else’s head so they leave them be as they coo or critique Alessandro Michele’s latest designs for Gucci.

Love Interest: Jake McKenzie, her husband! She and Jake have come to rely on each other so much since being on the island. It used to frighten her at the thought of being that dependent on someone else, but with Jake, it’s completely natural. They just fit. They give each other strength when the world seems like it’s going to collapse on them.

What Initially Attracted Them to Their Partner? Cris first saw Jake when he introduced himself as their pilot and she definitely thought he was hot. He had this attitude, swagger, and when they briefly locked eyes before boarding the plane, he cocked his eyebrow and gave her one of his infamous smirks. Both of them knew it was lust at first sight, but as they learned more and started to trust each other, the two of them fell in love hard and fast.

How Do They Express Affection (are they a hugger? More private?): She is a serial hugger with the people she cares about, but with ex-boyfriends she was pretty reserved about PDA. With Jake, it’s the complete opposite. They’re always holding or touching each other and stealing kisses whenever they can. They have to control themselves from making out all the time for propriety’s sake but sometimes they just can’t help themselves.

Do they Have/Want Children? How Many? She never thought about having kids, but with Jake, she does want a family. He wants a big family – a basketball starting lineup. She’s capping it at 3.

Any Pets? Jewel, the family macaw at home. On the island, Furball.

Do They Have a Temper? She wouldn’t call it a temper. It’s more like she has a lot of passion?

Hobbies? She loves to sing, can play a few instruments, and going to shows. Also, you wouldn’t think it, but she’s really good in the kitchen. Traveling is something she loves to do, but after the time on the island, snuggling with Jake is how she wants to spend her time.

Do They Hold Grudges? No grudge holding, per se, but she doesn’t forget if someone acts with malicious intent.

Do They Exercise? She loves to swim and using the elliptical machine. Yoga and Pilates are also on the schedule. Oh, and she has lots of sex with Jake.

One Random Headcanon: In almost every continuation or AU I have for Cris and Jake, they always end up in LA. Jake moves because Rebecca is based out of the area and LA is where Cris’ family resides. If you go off the Rourke ending with her being real from the start, that’s where she’s from. In my HC for Vaanu’s ending, all roads eventually lead back to LA. (I can’t get into it deeper than that because future fics will tell the story!) In my Wonderful AU, where everyone and everything turns out perfect, they end up in the area. Breakfast was set with their new home in the Hills in mind, as well as Peanut.

Here, have a vid.

Because it’s been 2 weeks since we’ve seen our husband.

The Royal Romance - MC Appreciation Week for @choices-mc-rules

Name: Reina Puro

Age: 24/25

Height: 5’4”

Hair Color: Black

Eye Color: Black

Family Background: Her father is Puerto Rican and her mother is of Chinese descent (was saying “hi” in Mandarin supposed to be a trick question?) Reina has five siblings, and she’s right in the middle. Her family lives in the Bronx and everyone had a role to play in the household. She learned hard work ethic from her parents, which made her study hard in school and led to a partial scholarship to NYU.

Unfortunately, her family did not approve of her leaving her life and running off to Cordonia to play the royal version of “The Bachelor.” They are currently estranged, although they recently started communicating again after the fiasco that almost saw her go back to NYC.

Education: BA from NYU. Her plan was to go to grad school, but due to the costs, she decided to take one or two years off to save money for her education. It was during this time that she met Liam, Drake, and Maxwell.

Best Childhood Memory: Going down to Washington Square on the weekends with her father and seeing NYU, which made her want to go there. She also loved the trips down to Coney. (Her father was a big fan of the movie “The Warriors” and the Wonder Wheel is so iconic!)

Favorite Color: Pink and Red.

Favorite Season: Spring

Cat or Dog: Corgi

Chocolate or Vanilla: Chocolate of the milk variety

Sweet or Spicy: Sweet  

Coffee or Tea: Coffee

Best Friend: Hana and Maxwell!

Love Interest: Liam

What Initially Attracted Them to Their Partner?: When she saw the bachelor party at her table, she thought they were all attractive, but there was something about Liam. Sexy as hell and impeccable manners, especially at her job? Yes, please!

How Do They Express Affection (are they a hugger? More private?): By nature, she’s affectionate. Ever since she’s been in Cordonia, she’s had to restrain herself greatly. (Thank goodness Maxwell is there so they can get all their hugging out while Bertrand rolls his eyes at them!)

Do they Have/Want Children? How Many?: She wants two, a boy and girl. With Liam, she thinks it would be a bit more complicated if they had two boys, as they have the crown to think about.

Any Pets?: The corgi, Mr. Fluffalupugus!

Do They Have a Temper?: Yes. It took all of her being to not chew Madeleine out during the engagement tour.

Hobbies?: Dancing, painting, reading, and baking to name a few. It wasn’t a fluke that she won that Cordonian apple pie contest.

Do They Hold Grudges?: She tries not to, especially now that she has to have Madeleine on staff.

Do They Exercise?: Not really. Ever since she was young, she didn’t eat much and was very active. She still follows that pattern.

One Random Headcanon: Saying she loves J.Lo is an understatement. She spent the summer of 2017 singing “Despacito” and proceeded to drive everyone insane. (Low key fact – Olivia loves the song even though she would NEVER admit it.)
