~TOS Challenge 1~
What is your character’s full name and Date of Birth?
Blanche Louise Harlow. June 19th, 1999.
What is your character’s involvement with the supernatural?
Blanche is a medium—her gift has her see ghosts completely and she can hear and talk with them. She also has the ghost of her Great Grandma Blanche following her around.
If your character is another species or otherwise involved with the supernatural, who knows?
Nora. Because she can see Granny and other ghosts.
Who do they know is involved in the supernatural or a species other than human?
No one at the moment!
If your character could be another species, which would they pick and why?
She’s stay a human, but without the whole medium thing. She doesn’t like it and it makes her uncomfortable—Blanche gets so distracted so easily.
What is your character’s place of work/education?
The high school. She doesn’t have a part time job as of yet.
Did your character grow up in Ashkent Creek? If not, where are they from?
The Harlow family moved to Ashkent Creek from Boston, MA when she was 5. Since then she’s lived in the big house by the shore.
How does your character feel about Ashkent Creek?
Indifferent really. Too many ghosts around and it gets really awkward and hard to ignore when they realize she can see them.
Does your character have any distinguishing marks, piercings, tattoos, scars etc?
She will eventually have an anti-possession tattoo on her left side.
How does your character usually dress?
Blanche wears leggings more than she wears jeans with long shirts and has a collection of scarves and shoes. You’ll also see her in dresses and tights and things like that—mostly because her grandma really does like to prod and tell her what she should be wearing.
In the summer you’ll see her in shorts and stuff, but never anything that shows too much skin. Her granny has made her a little too self-conscious for that.
What are some of your character’s hobbies? What kind of places in Ashkent Creek do they like to go during their downtime?
Blanche likes to read. She reads primarily mysteries and crime novels (sorry Regan), but will also binge some of those corny YA romance novels if she’s really feeling it. Her granny drives her up the wall when she’s trying to read, trying to gossip and stuff like that.
She also really likes doing math. Blanche is good at it and really likes doing math problems. She mostly likes it because she’s good at it, but it’s also a good way to distract herself from some of the ghost she sees. It’s easier to tune them (and her grandma) out.
Honestly, she’ll go anywhere in Ashkent Creek where it’s quiet. She likes quiet and she likes not being around spirits.
